I've been looking for a real glass back for an Iphone 4 and all I seem to find are the knock offs. Tons of sellers say OEM, but OEM doesn't mean it's the real part.

Can't find anything on Amazon, and ebay is full of OEM's o_O

ifixit.com is a good place to start.

I bought some stuff off iDemigods when I was restoring an old iPod. AFAIK, it's Apple OEM.

I called the Apple store and all they could offer was buying an out of service agreement, which wasn't quite what I was looking for. ifixit.com seems to have them, but $79 seems steep too... I'll keep looking....and will check idemigods

That's the issue though. Apple isn't really a parts vendor and the iPhone is really one of the most premium phones out there. The whole back piece for $79 bux is a practical bargain. I think my Griffin case was about that much.
