hi I'm MJ and what I'm about to show you
is probably my favorite thing that we
sell here at iFixit and it was kind of
my idea that we started carrying it so
don't mock it otherwise I'm gonna take
it super personally this is a mirrored
rear panel for your iPhone 4 or 4s and
it takes the place that the existing
rear panel that you have on your phone
there are lots of reasons why the
mirrored rear panel is far superior to
the standard panel that comes on the
iPhone one you don't have to waste time
watching the camera app on your phone
just to see if you have something stuck
in your teeth or to fix your lip gloss
or whatever because there's a mirror
right there too let's say you're out
hiking and you get lost and you need to
signal a passing rescue helicopter you
can use the mirror to reflect the Sun
and indicate your position which i think
is pretty MacGyver 3 it is super fancy
so you'll score major style points on
that one and for although I shouldn't
really be encouraging this kind of
behavior it does make taking hipster
duckface photos much easier observe
similar to another popular product of
ours the transparent rear panel
installing the mirrored rear panel
couldn't be much easier you just take
the two screws out of the bottom slide
the old panel off slide the new panel on
and put the screws back in total the
hole swap should take less than a minute
our mirrored rear panel is at least a
scratch resistant as the original one
that came on the iPhone and although it
seems counterintuitive it seems to show
dirt and smudges less than my black
panel that originally came on the phone
anybody with a black car can vouch for
me on this one and tell you that black
finishes show fingerprints and smudges
like crazy and if you've shattered your
rear panel the mirrored version makes an
excellent replacement because it is
super stylish and it actually cost less
than replacing it with an original rear
panel personally I think it's worth
upgrading if only for the sheer
convenience that I always have a mirror
on me which actually comes in handy a
lot more often than you might think
like I said I love this thing and not
just because it was my idea to carry it
it's the very best accessory that have
ever had for my iPhone and that kind of
says a lot because I've basically tried
every gizmo and mod out there so pick up
a mirrored rear panel
iPhone 4 or 4s for yourself or your
narcissistic friends ifixit.com
will put a link to buy it down in the
description as well as a link to the
repair guide to show you how to install
it and don't forget to tweet us your
very best duck face photo I fix it
thanks for watching
