Important Notes & Caveats
-
Must ensure exact model (A2338) — other top cases won’t match in ports, screw layout, and internal fit.
-
Transfer the Touch ID / fingerprint sensor from your original case — it’s tied to the logic board.
-
Check battery condition before listing / resale — internal cells may have wear.
-
Minor cosmetic defects or marks may exist due to being a used part.
-
Installation requires moderate repair skills — ribbon cables, screws, and internals must be aligned correctly.
