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.

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.
