Introduction

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a gorgeous device, but its back glass is surprisingly easy to scratch and can crack with a drop. If you’re dealing with damage or want a cleaner look, this guide will walk you through replacing the back glass yourself.

Before you begin, power off your phone and discharge it below 25% to stay safe. You’ll also need a heat gun or hair dryer to loosen the adhesive holding the glass in place.

Let's give your Z Flip 5 a fresh new look!

    • Ensure the phone's battery is below 25% to minimize the risk of battery issues during repair.

    • Turn off your phone and unplug it from the charger before you begin the repair.

    • Apply low heat with a heat gun or medium heat with a hairdryer around the edges of the back glass for about one minute to soften the adhesive. Keep the heat source moving and avoid overheating.

    • Keep the heat source around an inch from the back glass.

    • After heating the device, use caution when handling the device.

    • Ensure you are working on a stable, non-flammable surface when using the heat gun.

    • Gently insert the tip of an opening pick or thin plastic card into the seam between the back glass and frame.

    • Carefully slide the pick along all edges using a gentle sawing motion to detach the adhesive.

    • Apply more heat if you encounter resistance. Avoid inserting the pick too deeply.
