What kind of glue would you use if the plastic of the back cover fell off?

Dave Hains - Reply

This happened to me as well. I opted to replace the entire adhesive-attached back cover. You can find kits that include a new back with a new adhesive gasket already attached. You just need to take off the old one and make sure it's clean before putting on the new one. I bought this one on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/164638316825

Why would you use glue? The back is fixed with screws.
If there is a loose part on the back cover you might want to try a glue like the E6000, B7000 or T9000 (there are different combinations out there)
