If you are asking can you replace the back of your iPhone with a carbon fibre plate, the

answer is that doing so will void your warranty and you will no longer be eligible for a

reduced price Out Of Warranty replacement should that ever become necessary. If

you go ahead and do this anyway, you are on your own to resolve any problems that

result from the change - even if they seem not to be related.


If you are asking what effect a carbon fibre case would have on your iPhone, no one

here knows. Apple does not test cases. Ask the case manufacturer what they say. You

might also want to look at their return policy to see what happens if the case does

interfere with your iPhone operation.

Yes, of course you can use a carbon fiber back plate. However, I definitely would not recommend it. Many carbon fiber iPhone case will block reception due to the density of the carbon fiber material.


If you are looking for a nice touch of carbon fiber on your iphone, check out the Carbon Fiber & Co. carbon fiber iphone case. It's a minimalist design and it doesn't block cellular reception or WiFi signal.
