A bent or worn iPhone 7 gets a new housing in a day, and our Almaty courier picks it up free with repair.
When a phone has bowed or its buttons have lost their travel, a new glass will not be enough, since the frame itself is affected.
It rocks on a flat table and the screen lifts at one edge: a hit or pocket pressure bent the frame.
Corners are crushed and paint has flaked; dents in the aluminum make the glass and module sit unevenly.
The rear is warped or split near the camera, dust slips into the gap, and the edge snags your pocket.
Volume, side button and the silent switch bind: the sockets in the housing have been deformed.
The price depends on the case you pick and on how many parts have to be moved over.

The technician gives the final amount after inspecting the phone and agreeing on the housing.
A suitable case is chosen first, then the phone is fully taken apart, its parts are moved across, cleaned, sealed and every function is tested.
We measure the bend, judge the frame and pick a housing in the right color for your model.
Screen, battery, boards and cameras come out, and screws are laid out by position so each returns to its place.
The board, speakers, vibration motor, cables, antennas and buttons go into the new case one by one.
We clear dust and old adhesive and fit fresh seals to restore splash resistance as far as possible.
The phone is rebuilt in reverse order, with fasteners tightened firmly but without stripping threads.
Calls, cameras, charging, Wi-Fi, sensors and buttons are all tested to confirm nothing changed.
A technician handles every stage, and the final check is done with you present.
Price for my modelThe differences lie in dimensional accuracy, finish and how well the case keeps its shape over time.
Taking a phone fully apart and putting it back takes practice, and your original parts stay in the device rather than being replaced.
For eleven years we have taken Apple devices apart and rebuilt them, so screw order, cables and antennas are second nature.
If something stops working after the job through our fault, we correct it. The warranty lasts up to 1 year.
A case swap means transferring dozens of parts, and it is done by technicians with confirmed qualifications.
We move the board, cameras and screen instead of replacing them, so you do not pay for what already works.
We take visits on weekdays from 10:00 to 19:00 and on Saturday, Sunday and holidays from 11:00 to 18:00.
Almaty and Astana follow shared rules, so quality does not hinge on which workshop you choose.
The client dropped the phone on the tiles outside — the corner got dented and the buttons started sticking. We moved the internals into a new housing and checked the buttons and camera — everything works fine.
The whole journey — from a message to a finished phone. The repair takes 1–3 days — we provide a loaner phone for that time.
Book a replacementYou message us on WhatsApp with the model and what happened — we give you the price and time. Or you come in without an appointment.
We look for dents and bending, check the logic board, cameras and buttons: after an impact it's not only the housing that suffers.
We note the model, the part (original or aftermarket), the price, the timeframe, and the warranty.
We open the factory packaging in front of you and check the number against the receipt.
We transfer the logic board, cameras, battery and flex cables into the new housing and apply new water-resistant adhesive.
Buttons, cameras, charging, sound, Face ID or Touch ID, connectivity. You take the phone, the receipt and the old housing.

02The phone is fully apart, so a new battery adds almost no extra time.
03If the lens is scratched or shots are blurry, the camera can be changed at the same time.
04We test the button during teardown and fix it if the response is unreliable.
05The connector is swapped if charging cuts out or the cable sits loosely.
06If the phone got wet, we clean liquid traces from boards and connectors.

iPhone 7 Housing Replacement in Almaty with Original or Aftermarket Parts
At iServices in Almaty we replace the iPhone 7 housing by moving your board, battery, cameras and buttons into a new frame, or by swapping only the damaged back panel. We show the part in factory packaging, fix the price and warranty on the receipt, and check 32 functions before handover.
The iPhone 7 wears an aluminium shell with antenna lines at the ends, so a "broken rear" is often a dent, a chip or a bend rather than shattered glass — and that difference decides the scope of the job.
A cracked or deeply scratched rear cover on the device is usually a cosmetic problem, while a bent or dented frame changes how the phone sits and how a fresh part fits. Scratches and paint wear sit on the surface of the metal and leave the antenna inserts intact; a dent on the middle frame or a chip on the end caps means the shell itself has moved, and the seam no longer runs straight. Look along the long edges against a light source — a gap that widens toward one corner points to a twisted body rather than a surface mark. Lay the phone on a flat table and press each corner; if it rocks, the geometry is off and a swap alone will not fix it.
The 7 and 7 Plus use an aluminium unibody with antenna lines moved to the edges, so we work with a solid metal shell rather than a glued glass sheet. That shell carries the water resistance of the generation, which is why we reseat the seals and check the antenna inserts whenever the housing is opened. On the 7 Plus the dual camera sits in its own raised housing, and we inspect that seat separately during teardown — otherwise a new body closes with a slight skew and the lens module never sits flush. The metal also hides small dents that only show up once the cover is off, so we photograph the frame before quoting the job.
We work with two main routes: swapping only the rear panel or rebuilding the phone into a complete new housing. A third, separate case covers the camera glass when only the island is damaged.
| Option | When it fits | What we move over | What we check after |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rear panel only | Cracked or scuffed rear, straight frame | Nothing, panel swaps on | Antenna lines, buttons, camera cutout |
| Full housing | Dented or bent frame, deep corner damage | Board, battery, cameras, buttons, Taptic Engine | Fit of all openings, buttons, network |
| Camera glass | Broken lens cover, intact rear | Nothing, glass only | Camera focus, flash, microphone |
We offer both an original housing and an aftermarket one, and we show the part in factory packaging before installation so you can compare the finish and the shade yourself. The original part keeps the exact anodised tone the device left the factory with, while aftermarket shells vary between batches — the fit around the buttons and the camera cutout is usually close but not identical. 64% of customers pick the original part once they see both side by side, and the choice is written on the receipt before we start. Rose Gold and Black Onyx aftermarket shades tend to drift most, so check the piece in daylight rather than on a photo. Ask to see the shell under the lamp before you commit — the tint difference shows up there first.
The job starts not at the workbench but with a photo and a receipt — so you see in advance which panel goes on, how long it takes and what the warranty actually covers.
You send a photo of the damage on WhatsApp, an engineer replies within 5 minutes with a price, and the component, turnaround and warranty are fixed on the receipt before any work starts. We name either an original or an aftermarket housing at that stage, so nothing gets swapped behind your back later. On arrival the technician runs free diagnostics in front of you — 15 minutes, and the fee stays zero even if you walk away without a repair. The chosen panel is then opened from factory packaging in your presence. We write the terms down in 2 minutes and hand you the warranty card afterwards. Ask to see the old rear cover before you leave — keeping it is your proof of what came off the phone. This is how an iPhone 7 housing replacement in Almaty runs from the first message to the finished device.
Most housing jobs are finished while you wait, and the whole process from first contact to pickup usually takes less than an hour. Across our two branches — Almaty and Astana — 72% of repairs are completed while the customer sits in the waiting area, and handover is quick once the panel is on. If your day is packed, a courier crosses the city in 90 minutes and collects the phone free of charge when the repair goes ahead. Collection runs any day of the week: Mon–Fri 10:00–19:00, Sat–Sun and holidays 11:00–18:00. Pay by Kaspi, card or cash once you have inspected the device. Book the slot before lunch if you want the device returned the same afternoon — evening drop-offs usually roll into the next morning.
A completed housing swap is not a finished repair. Before the device leaves our hands, we run through the functions the teardown touches and explain plainly what happens to liquid protection once the frame is opened.
We reseal the frame with a fresh adhesive gasket, but the factory rating of the iPhone 7 is not guaranteed once the chassis comes apart. That original seal compresses the moment the shell opens, and no replacement strip restores the protection the device left the factory with. A new strip still keeps dust out of the seams and handles rain or a splash at the sink. What it cannot do is survive a drop into a pool — so treat the handset as splash-resistant, not submersible, and keep it away from bathtubs. If moisture does get in, bring it to us quickly: a board inspection under the microscope costs far less than corrosion that had a week to spread.
A cracked rear is more than a cosmetic issue: splinters cut fingers, dust and moisture reach the internals, and a lifting panel snags on pockets and bags. Ignoring it only makes the damage worse.
A cracked or lifting rear panel lets dust and moisture reach the internals and can cut your fingers, so cover the damaged spot with tape and book a repair soon. The sooner you act, the less grit gets inside. On the iPhone 7 the aluminium shell sits under a painted finish, and once a crack opens, fine grit works its way between the panel and the frame. That grit scratches the camera lens ring and the antenna lines, and moisture from a sweaty pocket or light rain reaches the charging port and the logic board. Loose fragments also travel into the speaker grilles, where they are hard to remove without opening the device. Before the visit, tape over the damaged area and stop carrying it in the same pocket as keys — this keeps the crack from spreading and protects the camera from fresh scratches.
A new housing makes sense on an iPhone 7 when the device still works well and you plan to keep or resell it, since a clean body noticeably lifts its resale look. A housing swap means moving the logic board, cameras, screen and small parts into a fresh shell, so the handset keeps its performance and storage while losing the dents, scuffs and chips. Owners who sell a battered unit usually hear lower offers, while an intact frame and rear read as a cared-for device. If it already serves as a spare, a case that hides the chips is the cheaper route than a full rebuild — decide by the state of the mainboard and power cell, not by looks alone. Corrosion or a swelling power cell changes the maths, because those faults matter more than the shell.
Housing work on the iPhone 7 comes down to matching the part to the actual damage, checking the replacement before it is fitted, and testing the device afterwards.

Ask a questionYes, the raised ring around the camera is part of the aluminium housing, so a new one comes with a fresh bump. The lens cover is set into the new housing as well. Scuffs around the camera disappear together with the old shell.
On the iPhone 7 the plastic antenna strips were moved to the edges for a cleaner back. A new housing has them in the same place, and their position matters for reception. The engineer checks the network after assembly.
A shallow dent may be left alone, but if it deforms the port opening, the cable stops sitting properly. In that case the housing is replaced. The engineer checks how the plug fits before deciding.
Yes, the tray is the same size, so it can be moved over. Check that its colour matches the new body and that it slides in flush. A new tray can be fitted if the old one is bent.
A good housing keeps the same size and weight, so your case still fits. Finish and colour tone may differ slightly from the original. Look at the part before the work begins.
Yes, their internal cables are transferred, and the button caps are either moved or fitted new to match the colour. Press each button and flip the mute switch before leaving. A soft or rattling button is adjusted on the spot.
Случайно сломал кнопку блокировки на телефоне, она просто провалилась внутрь корпуса и не нажималась. Мастер разобрал устройство и заменил сам механизм кнопки на шлейфе. Теперь нажимается с четким щелчком, не западает больше.
Отдала телефон, который перестал заряжаться, поменяли разъём и даже корпус протёрли, мелочь но приятно.
The difference is not always visible, but it can be checked. An original panel is the one the manufacturer installs; an aftermarket copy costs about 35% less.
