The glass that covers the back camera on my brand new iPhone 13 crack today while sitting in my pocket. The lens of the camera is fine, this is only the glass cover.
I tried looking up videos to repair this, but every iPhone 13 repair video I found shows a different glass cover. They all have a solid piece of glass that covers the entire back side of the phone with cut outs for the lenses and separate glass where each lens sits. My phone doesn’t have this, It’s a solid glass piece which you can see in the photo.
Does anyone know where I can buy these parts and have tips and how to fix this myself?
This is a standard iPhone 13.

Check out the spigen glas.tr ez fit optic pro… never had issues with it
Second all comments thus far. It’s simply a tempered glass screen protector for your lenses. You can pull it off easily, and buy a new one online easily!
No just don’t use these covers. However transparent they claim the image quality is compromised. Unless you are a very careless person
I mean… it’s not my phone, and my phone doesn’t have a lens cover. I was simply responding to OP.
Verizon must have sent you a pre owned phone don’t see how it was brand new. Apple wouldn’t stick those camera things on. Guess it was pre owned
Yep this !!!
Jeezus dude.
Some people are just SLOWWWW
reminds me of that spongebob episode where patrick tries to remove a lid from a pickle jar.
iphones don’t come with that, the last owner put that on
Get some dental floss and try prying it through
How dumb are you? It’s a camera protector. Take it off and put a new one on. It’s just like a screen protector. When the protector cracks it’s time for a new protector.
- That is a refurb or secondhand iPhone. It is not new, because
- Apple doesn’t add a lens protector to the camera array the back and array housing are one solid piece and
- That is add-on placed by the previous owner.
So if the iPhone is just new-to-you, then you can remove that and order another from Amazon if you’re inclined. I prefer individual covers as a one-piece can transfer the force of impact and crack your actual iPhone back glass.
If Verizon claimed this was unsold stock, I’d have an angry word with them.
Please tell me this is a joke
Your phone isn’t brand new (Or Verizon installed the cover themselves without telling you, which very unlikely)
If you paid for a brand new phone, you got some questions to ask them.
I gotta think a sales person selling a $20 camera protector to an oblivious customer is a more likely scenario than the phone being used.
Just peel it off. No need to replace it. It just breaking in your pocket should be proof enough to how useless these are.
all you need to do is take a hair dryer and blow it over the camera protector. use an old credit card to lift it and wipe off any adhesive. this is NOT a part from apple.
Well get the cover off, should be fine below, never put lense covers on iPhone camera lenses!
That’s from the factory.
Yeah but not the one that makes iPhones.
Funny guy
Meant to say not from the factory, Freudian slip there, oh well.
That is not a standard iPhone 13 lol
