i hope don't use metal back....i've grown used glass, suppose make more robust device....the thing prevent me doing usual upgrade on release day screen..if apple not substantially increase size, see little point in buying replacement 4s happily run ios6 anyway. images fine, , thickness although not of issue me, increases quality of device thing. but, no screen hike=no upgrade.
