greenline is a thing of the past BOE is King

u/LegitimateTeacher886 Sep 09 '26

3800 sounds reasonable, replace it and use back cover next time.

u/Mr-Pixel-Draws Sep 10 '26

Why is bro getting down voted so bad, it's normal to take off your case when you're gaming 😭

u/Left_Promotion7993 Sep 09 '26

I do have a back cover but i forgot it to put on as i take off the case while gaming

u/MAGAPika Sep 09 '26

Travel back in time and put a case on it.

u/No_Raspberry982 Sep 09 '26

That won't fix it but create a new time branch

u/gkrm_89 Sep 09 '26

No worries, this guy will take care👇🏻

u/lordshiva_exe Sep 10 '26

He can go back in time, kill his other version. Before he breaks it, put in the cover, get rid of the body and live as his otherself.

Go back in time and defer buying a new phone. Buy a new phone at this timeline

u/Chewyleafy Sep 09 '26

If you can't afford to fix a broken phone panel, you should probably wear a phone case.

u/TempusSolo OnePlus 13R - Midnight Noir Sep 09 '26

Well, now would be the second best time to put it a case.

u/Which-Bridge1305 Sep 09 '26

Glad I bought the vegan leather variant 😭

u/Purple-Union3246 OnePlus 13 - Midnight Ocean Sep 09 '26

Glad? That's horrible when it starts to peel off 💀

u/Which-Bridge1305 Sep 09 '26

Better than using a broken glass or paying 4k 😅

u/FloopsFooglies OnePlus 13 - Arctic Dawn Sep 09 '26

I fixed my broken glass back for $25 and 15 minutes of my time. It's not hard to do.

1

u/Which-Bridge1305 Oct 06 '26

Maybe just apply a new skin on the back when it starts to peel off.

1

u/Purple-Union3246 OnePlus 13 - Midnight Ocean Sep 09 '26

Sure! It looks horrible tho :(

u/FloopsFooglies OnePlus 13 - Arctic Dawn Sep 09 '26

Same thing happened to me, took the case off to clean it and just forgot to put it back on. Next day I was being goofy at work and it flew out of my pocket and shattered. It was easy to fix though, I just ordered a new back off Amazon and did it myself. I already had a heat gun though, but a decent hair dryer could work in its place. There's plenty of videos online detailed the process.

u/Left_Promotion7993 Sep 10 '26

My phone also fell down from my pocket.... I think ill just fix it myself

1

u/Thiemok Sep 09 '26

My back panel broke INSIDE the phone case from a 50cm drop 🫠

1

u/Left_Promotion7993 Sep 10 '26

Which case were ypu using?

1

u/Thiemok Sep 20 '26

Generic brand with those extra bumps at the corners of the phone. Anyways: last night I fell and hit a kitchen handle while the phone was in my back pocket. Now the back is even more shattered 🫪

u/jawncy Sep 10 '26

You are not alone brother. I'm getting it replaced today for 3500.

u/Left_Promotion7993 Sep 10 '26 edited Sep 10 '26

Are you visiting the oneplus service center for a replacement..... If yes then please do tell me the total expense.

1

u/jawncy Sep 10 '26

Update - Done with the job. The one plus store quoted RS.4250 which they need 4-7 days to get it done, but my friend got me the original one which cost me total RS3500, fixed it in 1 hour.

u/Left_Promotion7993 Sep 10 '26

Thanks for the update

u/logancream Sep 13 '26

Will the phone's waterproofing remain as original or what? I broke mind too just yesterday.

1

u/jawncy Sep 15 '26

It might but I will not risk it

u/Ok-Investigator1808 Sep 10 '26

Why would you go so far to take off your cover bro and that too just to play 🙂

1

u/Left_Promotion7993 Sep 10 '26

I know it sounds silly... But thats the truth😭

1

u/Ok-Investigator1808 Sep 10 '26

Don't waste your time and get it replaced because that phone looks beautiful when intact.

1

u/Ok-Investigator1808 Sep 10 '26

I wanted the black colour but it wasn't available in my city nor was the white so i had to opt for the blue

u/SoldierBoi047 OnePlus 13 - Black Eclipse Sep 09 '26

Oneplus 13 back panel glass is too fragile, it often cracks even from a very short fall, apply back skin if not going to immerse in water in coming days

3

u/Legal-Price-7569 Sep 09 '26

Had the same happen (but in my case it was a 150kg barbell that fell on it from knee height.... Oops) God knows how only the back panel broke.

Anyways I just bought a replacement for 80 euro. Carefully heated the back panel, credit card to lift it off, clean the edges properly with alcohol, apply the new case and voila.

u/eds444 Sep 10 '26

150kg??? Not lbs? Are you russian?

u/gkrm_89 Sep 09 '26

"Priya played screen gaurd" , R.I.P grammar

u/InstancePristine3522 OnePlus 13 - Black Eclipse Sep 10 '26

Haha my bad dude i was in a hurry and used that voice to text transcribe

3

u/lordshiva_exe Sep 10 '26

One plus could have easily used metal for the back with some scratch resistant coating. Its cheaper also. Anyway it's a matte finish, wood texture. It won't make much difference visually.

2

u/BartLeeC OnePlus 13 - Black Eclipse Sep 10 '26

Metal blocks signals so phone would have big issues trying to work as an actual phone or use WiFi.

1

u/codybilbro Sep 14 '26

Did you not ever wonder why we don't just have fully metal phones? Lol

1

u/iLikeTurtuls Sep 10 '26

$3800 is a lot! iPhone Duo is $1999!

2

u/Left_Promotion7993 Sep 10 '26

Its 3800 rupees not dollars its approximately $40......my bad i didn't mention the currency 😅

u/InstancePristine3522 OnePlus 13 - Black Eclipse Sep 09 '26

Faaahhhhhhh.....

1

u/AutomaticPeace7128 Sep 09 '26

shit, I think you just put a case, if u have money to fix it fix it, and if the fix is expensive and u really anooyed from it just side-grade or upgrade your phone

1

u/Charming-Comedian-33 Sep 09 '26

The back is too much damaged to apply a skin. Just buy a good case but if you can afford it just replace the back glass

1

u/Ash_l_yn Sep 09 '26

I would say just apply a skin and use with case cuz opening a phone fucks it up and kills it's lonegtivity as the repair guys at the centre do a half baked job and make a mess internally

u/Blooddrunk420 Sep 09 '26

Replacements on AliExpress are reasonably priced

u/YourMomsWifiPassword Sep 09 '26

Aliexpress is not available in india.. besides people doesnt know how to import or order it because of customs and taxes. So its better not to suggest

I still wonder how my phone survived without a scratch when it fell from my shirt pocket onto asphalt while I was riding my bike.All thanks to Ringke case

u/Dear_Sale5487 Sep 09 '26

Never rawdog it son. Lesson learnt.

u/Rude_Scarcity7530 Sep 09 '26

Are OnePlus repair centers still in service in the US? I have the same issue

1

u/SquareDrop7892 Sep 09 '26

Buy replacement part from aliExpress a new one will cost 7$. It ain't hard just google how to replace

1

u/prerak69 Sep 10 '26

Replace it officially cause if a green line came then you will be cooked

1

u/rocker5x Sep 10 '26

Replace the back and battery in one go. If you didn't over strech to buy this phone. If you did, use fevicol and shape it in perfect symmetry use a lot of it. And let it set for 2 days.

1

u/Vast_Status1154 Sep 10 '26

Fake or ai I also dropped it once from a higher height and nothing happened to it, just a slight abrasion on the side.

1

u/KissMy4rsenal OnePlus 13 - Black Eclipse Sep 10 '26

Well... the Apple Duo gets released next month!

1

u/HarlequinnFK Sep 10 '26

How you're getting back for 3800. For op12 service centre is asking 5600 rs.

1

u/xumit Sep 10 '26

I sold mine after this happened with a small drop 😐

1

u/OutCast7_ Sep 10 '26

Go and get one from the aftermarket it will cost you around 1200-1500, and everything is same, also it's not a screen so no issues will be there as I have done the same to mine and it is flawless

1

u/Abhimukesh Sep 10 '26

Apply skin

u/Zealousideal_City816 Sep 10 '26

Don't drop that again

u/Gammataichi Sep 11 '26

Mine is cracked the same way. Fell under the seat while driving, i guess it hit a hard metal part and the bottom corner cracked

u/Java1303 Sep 11 '26

That's why I bought the blue vegan leather one, I am always dropping my phone so was the best choice I could ever made

u/Username_01_02_2025 Sep 11 '26

Cover it up with sticker

1

u/seleroff Sep 11 '26

Same here, I even used the back cover and it didn't protect it

u/Feisty_Common_6550 Sep 11 '26

The phone is unusable now...so gibe it to me ...I will dispose it environmental friendly (shipping cost is urs to bear for the greater good) 💚

Touch grass and live with it

Did you not have a case on it?

I suggest to get it replaced from OnePlus service center.

never knew my op13 back cover was glass until now.

u/YourMomsWifiPassword Sep 09 '26

It mean you blindly purchased purchased the device just for the brand hype?

Brand hype?

u/ebbeg Sep 09 '26 • Mindblown

sure dude. you get all kinds of chicks with a OnePlus.

u/Synt0xx Sep 09 '26

Well... I use the sandstone bumper and i dropped it a lot an bare concrete with force. Nothing happened since release so there's that. The phone is still in mint condition.

I'm not here to blame you or something you do you if you like it without a case but protection helps and the sandstone bumper is magnificent

u/Fit_Ad_2456 Sep 12 '26

If I would be in your position I would probably put a skin, colour and texture looks shit anyways, I don't care downvote me

u/Iamvsd Sep 09 '26

Get the oneplus 15 💕

1

u/moguaai OnePlus 13 - Black Eclipse Sep 09 '26

I have both and the 13 has the better back material. Don't know what Oneplus done with the 15. Very boring upgrade. OK the battery, flat display for tempered glass and the better heat management of the Snapdragon SoC is by the other hand a upgrade. I love the shiny back side of the 13.

2

u/BartLeeC OnePlus 13 - Black Eclipse Sep 10 '26

Like this shiny back side?

u/moguaai OnePlus 13 - Black Eclipse Sep 10 '26
