Does anyone out there know who would be able to replace the back cover on the iphone 8gig? Or better yet, can it even get replaced?

Call me crazy but I believe APPLE could help you with that!!!!! It's going to cost you, but they can do!

yeah you can buy one off ebay for 40 bucks, but you would prolly want apple to put it on.

I'm sure that Apple could do it for you - unknown cost. I took mine out of my pocket a few days ago and found a small ding in the back of he case. Unknown how this happened, but my heart sank... I found this site for you -

I'm curious to see how much Apple would charge for this service. Also, if replacing it yourself would void the Applecare?

Keep us informed.

After reading this I'd say send it in to Apple. Although I must say, the black back looks SICK!

Based on a previous post, the COST IS KNOWN.

The original complaint was that the battery in the iPhone had been discharging excessively.

When that poster sent his iPhone in with what was stated to also be a mere "ding" in the back of the iPhone back panel Apple, and maybe rightfully so, determined that the Warranty had been voided and charged that iPhone owner $279.00 for a repair. Rationale being that the iPhone owner had tried to open the phone to either look at the battery or see if he/she could fix the battery problem unilaterally. The back panel was pressing against the battery when Apple received the unit.

Appears that Apple had been able to verify that the iPhone back panel was either removed or that someone had attempted to remove the back panel and that was also damaged in the process.

AFAIK, this is the only full-service iPhone repair shop, outside of Apple:
