    no, if you open it up and change anything (like the housing) it will void the warranty

    ^Haha, no wayyy. And I'd recommend that if you're not 100% sure with what you're doing you either don't do it or have someone like cpjr do it for you.

    It's harder than it looks. It is very easy to tear away a cable when removing the display from the rear casing, and not nearly as easy to find and attach a replacement.

    And the short answer is no, opening the case in any way voids your warranty.

    If your not experienced with small electronics and fairly "techy" I wouldnt recommend trying it. The iphone is fairly "wimpy" on the inside and must be treated like glass.
