Can we change the rear plastic iPhone 5c?

Hello. I'm French, so sorry for my English. I wanted to know if it is possible to change the back cover of the rather colorful plastic iPhone 5c. Thanks.

Answered! View the answer I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Couldn't you get in some legal troubles for buying a back housing containing the apple logo? Last I read (on some random forum), someone's $xxxx shipment of iPhone parts was withheld in customs for this very reason (Trademark infringement).

Be careful!

Here's a site I found that sells the rear casings in every color:

However my problem is that I wish there were some sort of documentation on this. Well, time to watch the teardown 3 times through...

this is a site to help you fix your own device. if you want to ask the mall guy then you need to go to the mall and ask him? try googling which phone repair people are near you or what services they provide...otherwise check out the guide on how to do it yourself (the accepted answer) and purchase the part to do the change
