DIY Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Back Cover Replacement

Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 16 Steps

Ready to give your Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra a new look? Let’s remove or replace that back cover! Keep in mind, though, that water resistance after the repair depends on how well you reapply the adhesive. Your phone will lose its IP (Ingress Protection) rating, so maybe keep it away from the pool party for now. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

Step 1

– Warm up your iOpener and give it a cozy two-minute hug on the right edge of the back cover.
