iPhone 4 Lens Replacement

In the week I went without a case for my new iPhone 4, I had managed to acquire quite a few scratches on the camera lens. It had gotten to the point where the picture quality was drastically affected, so I went in search of a solution. I found the best fix to this problem was to order a new lens online (for about three or four dollars), which I got within a few days directly from Hong Kong.

The installation was very simple, just remove the two screws at the bottom of the phone, slide the back cover off, and pop out the lens. Then put the new one in place and put the cover back on. This was a lot easier and less expensive than having Apple do it, not to mention more fun.
