Introduction

In this Replacement Guide, you will find the steps and process to replace the Outer Shell of the JBL Go 4.

The shell or case protects the device from accidents such as drops, slips, or slides, helping to keep the internal structures intact. The shell also provides a level of waterproofing for the device, while it's not the main waterproofing, it helps to keep things out.

If the shell becomes damaged, the quality of the speakers output can be hurt as well as the visual aesthetics.

Note: The device used in this guide is a non-genuine model, so the internal components may look different from those in your authentic device. However, the replacement procedure remains roughly the same and should still apply to your device.
