![]() Naturally different, the #WoodBack is the perfect marriage of our environment and technology providing stunning protection without compromising on style. Coated with a specially selected finish made from a blend of vegetable oils and waxes, the raw wood is given a subtle natural shine that allows it to age beautifully over time - with added protection from water and everyday dirt. When it's time to remove your skin, just gently peel it away - it won't leave any residue behind.Ĭombining modern and traditional craftsmanship, each piece of wood is laser cut, before being hand-sanded (the good old fashioned way!) to create a super smooth exterior. Sporting a profile of just 0.7mm, the #WoodBack Skin is around the thickness of a credit card, so once it's fitted, you'll hardly notice it's there - other than for its striking good looks! Using the latest 3M technology, the #WoodBack easily sticks to the back of your iPad Pro providing long-lasting cover without unwanted peeling. Just think of it as your very own work of art, all courtesy of Mother Nature. As well as looking good, the #WoodBack is designed to protect your iPad Pro from scratches and nicks. Handmade from real wood, each one is completely unique. You can see in the photo that the USB-C charge port got very corroded - which is why hers failed.South Georgia & South Sandwich Islands (GBP £)Ĭrafted from sustainably sourced wood, the #WoodBack is a distinctive, natural skin for your iPad Pro. It was a little nerve racking getting the LCD off because it's huge and was working perfectly so I didn't want to damage it. I took my time, so this repair took me two hours. I then removed the old adhesive, applied the new adhesive (again a little challenging), tested the iPad once more, then stuck it down. I then put the cable shield back on with it's screws (which was challenging due to the size of the screws and there not being a lot of space to work given the short screen cables). At this point I tested the iPad by connecting a charger. Then just plug the new one in, reattach the four screws and stick it back down. ![]() ![]() After disconnecting the charge port, you can peel it off (it's stuck down with adhesive). Keep track of which screw goes where as there are three different sizes. Then remove the five screws holding down the shield that covers the USB-C cable connector. Remove these and the two little springy brackets. There are four screws securing the USB-C port to the iPad. Once the screen is free you'll see it's attached by a few cables. Pry the screen up from the USB-C port side, and the glue around the camera will yield. Try to work your way around the first time quickly while the iPad is warm. Also, stay away from the front camera - there's very little glue there and you should NOT insert anything to cut the glue near the camera - you will hurt something. Be patient - I had to work my way around the iPad a few times (again staying AWAY from the front camera). Be very careful while cutting the glue to not insert anything more than 1/8th of an inch or you may damage digitizer cables. I worked my way around with a metal spudger and guitar picks to prevent the glue from reattaching. I used a razor blade on the lower right corner to begin cutting through the glue. I set the griddle for 135F according to my thermometer, left it for 10 minutes, put the iPad screen up on the griddle with a towel over it, left it for 10 minutes while making sure the griddle's temp was stable at 135F. I heard about special heating pads, but what I had on hand was a large electric aluminum pancake griddle and a very accurate thermometer. I read that heating the glue that holds the screen on was essential. I thought purchasing a replacement port from iFixit was something worth trying. One day it would no longer charge using any USB-C cable or charger we had. I just completed this repair on my wife's 12.9" iPad pro.
