Is the repair really necessary? (possibly just a screen protector, or a different defect)
Note on the SHIFT shop (tools and replacement parts). In the future also available in the iFixit shop.
Repairing or opening your SHIFTphone does not void the warranty. However, you must bear the costs that arise during or as a result of the repair yourself.
Important: If any step is unusually difficult or something does not want to release, please contact SHIFT before further damage occurs. They will provide you with direct support.
