Reply to Battery replacement with skin applied to phone? by Few-Measurement3491

Quick update: Got the battery replaced at an Apple store. The skin didn't need to be removed. Only the screen protector was removed and was not replaced (which was fine with me).

The Apple staff memeber who completed the pre-tests (before accepting my phone for repair) stated they may need to remove the skin, but they'll try not to.

Thanks for your response!

I did see a few videos (using Apple's official self service kit) on how to remove the screen. It doesn't look like the skin needs to be removed...but then again, I'm not an Apple repair tech employee so I could be talking out of my backside...

Just out of interest...do you work for Apple?

Thanks for responding!

I'm not bothered about replacing the screen protector if if needs to be removed. That's easy.

The skin is a different story, as it takes more time and effort to line it up properly so both the charging port and screws are uncovered...

But if the skin doesn't need to be removed, then great!
