How much does the glass back of Google Nexus 4 cost?

Cousin broke his phone's back today...

He'll have to get the entire back cover replaced if getting it done via service centre. Price is somewhere around 3.5k.

So how much from external sources?

Ebay listing for the whole panel including NFC.

The glass only.

It would be a pain to install just the glass as it's tightly glued to the back panel.

The broken glass. Man... Microparticles of glass. Probably still in my palms I bet...

No case/bumper used I guess?

I got him a good one. He used it for a while. And then the case started removing the screenguard. He ended up removing the screenguard and the case. And now this.

Lesson learnt. I'm using my phone without a screenguard since months now, but never without the bumper.

I am using my phone ever since I bought it! (Nov 2011) No scratches yet! (touchwood!)
