Xiaomi & Redmi Back Covers

Rear Housing & Back Glass — wholesale buying guide (Xiaomi & Redmi Back Covers)

From the iPhone 8 through the iPhone 13, the rear glass is bonded to the chassis with a full-frame adhesive and cannot be peeled off cold. The iPhone 14 generation introduced a repairable rear, which is why glass-only replacement now covers many of those models. Most distributors stock both formats: full housings for shops with no laser, glass-only sheets for benches that already own a separator. Xiaomi & Redmi Back Covers is available in both repair routes — the full housing for a complete swap, or the rear glass alone where the frame is sound.

Laser separation has become standard on the bonded generations, which means the tooling and skill requirement is as important as the part itself.

Specs and checks that matter

• Bonding: On iPhone 8 through 13 the rear glass is adhered to the mid-frame, so glass-only work needs laser separation
• Frame adhesive: The frame adhesive is the part that decides whether the rear stays sealed — it is supplied with the housing
• Repair routes: Full housing swap, or laser-separating the rear glass and bonding a new one
• Design change: From iPhone 14 onward the rear is more serviceable (14 Pro and Pro Max still use the bonded structure)

Buyer questions

Do I need to sand the frame to fit it?

No — housings are produced to the original frame tolerance and checked before packing.

Which repair route should I choose?

It depends whether the frame is being reused: glass-only where it is, full housing where it is not.

Should I carry full housings or glass-only panels?

Carry both if you can: full housings serve benches with no laser, glass-only panels serve those that have one and want the lower unit cost.

Does it come with adhesive?

Yes — the frame adhesive is included, since that is what keeps the rear sealed.
