Tech armor continues to impress where Apple left me with no good solutions. Come down to Ala Moana if you have any last chance Charlie situations. Again, I went to Apple and they wrung their hands and said my cost to fix was 289.00 for a screen and battery replacement. And then said they couldn't do it. Their solution : buy an iPhone 15. Tech armor... fifteen minutes my phone is back in working order. I appreciate the fantastic customer service. life saver once again. read more

What Apple couldn't do, this business fixed my water damaged phone in 5 minutes, AMAZING SERVICE HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Reason for the 5 star review: 1) They had what I needed. 2) They were fast and efficient 3) The sales person was nice, professional and to the point. I needed a privacy screen protector asap as my other one shattered and I was leaving on a trip. Privacy screen protectors are great for planes as the people next to you can't see what business you are doing on your phone. You never know who you are sitting next to. Keep you business confidential! I was parked downstairs at Ala Moana, as I was in Marshalls, and they are right there on the sidewalk area. Walked up, asked if they had- he said let me check, he did and boom they had. He even put it on for me and did a great job! Thank you! read more

Tech wizard!! Fixed my phone within an hour when I felt like it was doomed after I dropped it in water and overheated and wouldn't turn back on. So thankful!!! read more

I went to their kiosk at Ala Moana Shopping Center. The tech started working to replace the battery in my iPhone 7S. I thought it would take an hour but it done much faster. I was pleasantly surprised when he gave me iPhone with new battery so quickly. He was professional and I would recommend Tech Armor for battery change or any phone repair. read more

Had my screen replaced initially from another place that over charged me in the McCully area and the screen created more issues in the end. This place saved my screen and charged much less and repaired it quicker! read more

This place is amazing!!!! Changed my battery in my work Iphone. Service was really quick!!! Owner is an awesome guy. Tries to help everyone!!! Lady had trouble paying for service. He tried to help her. We need more people like him in the world!!! Long story short I help pay for her service!!! People if you need phone repair....go support this shop!!! read more

I dropped my phone and there was nothing to be seen. He found the problem and fixed it fast. Great job from start to finish and cost less than it would have been to replace it. Fast, Friendly. Saved all my pictures! read more

Matan is the guy! I needed a new battery for my iPhone X and before I could ask him if he could do the replacement, it was done and less expensive than most others. I decided to bring him all my challenging electronics regardless of the "vintage" as Apple Ala Moana calls them, who then proceeds to break them (my iWatch). I took my watch there for a new battery, then after three days returned my watch without the battery and no longer paired to my phone. They said I signed their work order that supposedly relieves them of any responsibility for breaking my watch. Who does that? Never go to the Apple Ala Moana store, just go to Tech Armor Ala Moana across from Marshals for all your Apple devices. They fix not break. read more

They are the best !!! Best products , prices and service !! I can't believe tricked out accessories came back with their embarrassing prices and service lol Tech Armor stomps on them or Apple even !! Get your screen protectors at Tech !! Locals know read more

I called to ask if they could replace the screen protector for my wife's Samsung flip4. They said can do for $10.00 if I brought my own film. We came they replaced it while ewe sat on the bench next to the kiosk. The kiosk is in front of Marshall's on street level mauka. He took two tries but it was worth the trouble. Satisfied. Will return for additional work as needed. read more

Matan was great! He didn't have the battery I needed but recommended I purchase a one on Ebay and he would install it. In about 30 minutes he had my phone up and running again. Cheaper than ordering a replacement from Tricked Out. The business hours posted on Yelp aren't accurate. I went to the store on Sunday and it was closed. read more

Significantly overpriced and when I purchased the initial screen protector I was told that replacements were free I'd required. Not reduced price. Free. They are not. $10 which is still more than it would cost to buy it and install myself. read more

I needed help on my Z phone. Went to Tech Armor. They were fantastic. Frienly and fast service. I would highly recommend them. read more

phone dropped in the water, touch screen not responsive. The guy took a look and fixed it in a few minutes. He didn't charge a penny and even gave me a free glue panel!!! Thank you. Highly recommended!!! read more

Bram & Song Xi are the best!! I had a broken LG and all the other places could not help me. I had given up hope & was going to buy a new cell but I spoke to Bram on the phone. He said he'd try, never worked on a LG before but was going to do what he could to help me. I went straight over and Bram & Song Xi found the problem immediately. They were both so kind and efficient! They really did save the day! read more

I went with my shorts and e-scooter. A big mistake: they tried to rip me off by saying a replaced battery in my tablet was somehow not their responsibility. The new battery was worse than my five-year-old battery. First, they said they would replace it. Then they said they wanted to only look at it. Then they say they will "order" a new battery but if I am not satisfied, they would only install a battery I buy on my own. Let's see, all they got to say is they change my battery, but it still does not work, wallah, I have to buy my own battery and pay more when I paid them for a new battery and labor so that my table would be decent. They said it was a new battery! Well, if you sell the battery and labor, you have a responsibility that the battery is not defective, especially if you can buy the battery online for $20, but charge $60! These guys are not honest. Beware, if things go good, okay, if things go bad, prepare for them not taking the full if any responsibility. Buyer beware! That is how they operate their business. Supplement. Your answer is your technician provided options, and I wrote what the options were. Thank you for confirming it! Your answer is a bit twisted. I went to a professional repair shop and paid $120 plus tax, including a "new" battery for $60, when I could buy one on Amazon for $20. I expect professionalism in your advertisement and the price charged. Your technician offered me a refund, and when I said okay, he said he would give me half a refund. He said he would install a "new battery," but if I am not satisfied, then I would have to buy a battery and bring it in. I went to a professional shop and overpaid for a battery, so I expect something more than online from Amazon! I understand you do not want to take the risk of a battery shipped to you, so why not ask me to bring in a battery from the beginning? You charged me $60 for a $20 battery but then took no responsibility for the battery! read more

Soooooooooooooooooo I bought an iPhone 11, upgrading my 7, and dropped it literally within two weeks of taking it out of the box. It tumbled out of my backpack, facedown on asphalt. Holy crap, these things are made like sh*t! I expected scratches, but it was spider cracked, and pixelated screen. Thankfully, I purchased insurance and looked for the closest vendor with the most flexible hours and found Tech Armor. I was kind of surprised it was a little kiosk, but overall I am pleased with the work. They did my personal phone through my insurance (which was all completed online) after I showed my confirmation/claim number and then did my work phone for $100 plus dollars. Each phone took about 20-25 minutes, during which I did some work and also walked my dog. My only gripe is that my work phone screen is kind of glitchy - I have to text pretty slowly and touch the keys slightly above where I used to touch them. It's like it's super sensitive, but also not, so my texting comes out kind of weird. I basically just have to text two different speeds, depending on what phone I'm using. Staff was friendly and helpful. Fingers crossed I don't have to come back, but if these butter fingers do drop the phone again, I'll likely choose Tech Armor. read more

Seriously these guys are the absolutely amazing, and the they never give you a hard time. Cracked my first phone in 2010. Matan, is da man Also it's cheaper than it used to be. 199.00 OLD PRICE NEW PRICE WAS ONLY 79.99 plus tax read more

I used Tech Armor a few times over the years and they provided great services. Being that my smartphone is a BlackBerry, I was hoping that someone on the island was still able to help with it. Tech Armor was able to work with it. The first I used Tech Armor was back in 2020, when my battery was swollen. They said they'll help, but because they don't have BlackBerry parts, they suggested to order a BlackBerry battery on eBay, and then they can help with installing the new battery. I came back the following week with the new battery, and Tech Armor inserted my new battery. In 2022, the same situation. The battery was swollen, I got a replacement battery, and Tech Armor was able to insert the new battery. A few months later, I got a replacement back cover, and they were able to insert it. Not only do I like Tech Armor's tech expertise, I also loved their customer service. They were willing to listen to my situation, and they explained how they're to going to fix my situation. I'll definitely return to Tech Armor when my BlackBerry (or any mobile device) needs additional services again read more

I have to agree with the minor opinions here about this place. It was my second time breaking my galaxy screen. The place I got my screen fixed the first time was not in business anymore so I went to Tech Armor. The guy was nice and took my insurance so I only paid the deductable of $99. He did the job fast but then my camera was foggy after the fix. I went back immediately to get the camera fixed. It seemed fine for the second time, but only till I got home. So next morning I had to go back for the third time. A different guy was able to figure out and fixed it and told me it was not their fault but the manufacturer's fault. A few days later, my screen was cracked in my purse and I did not even drop my phone or purse. Then after a while, the screen got dull and it is not really reacting well with fingure touching. Sure, it is the manufacure who is making a really crappy Chinese quality stuff but it is this business that is buying these crappy stuff and charging customers for full price. I cannot even imagine how much they are charing for this without any insurance. It is so aweful they don't the right quality stuff, even if it is not the exact same as the original. I would never recommend this place. read more

They are very helpful and quick service. And cheaper than others. Highly recommended. read more

Matan is a genius and a person that cares. We had a broken phone and got a replacement; went to Verizon and was shocked at the very rude service. They told us "open your phone" "go try enter your password". This after the person there could clearly see that the screen was cracked. We just needed to save the contact info, but was met with rude comments and left with the feeling they don't really care. Feeling hopeless, we went to visit Matan at Tech Armor. Even with the cracked screen he knew this was important to us and kept trying. The man is a genius, he connected a keyboard to enter the passcode to unlock the phone; even with a cracked screen. Then was able to figure out a way to transfer the info to a computer then transfer the info into the new phone. Thank you Matan and Tech Armor for caring about what is important to your customers! I highly recommend this cellphone repair shop at Ala Moana. read more

Came here for the first time to get a battery replacement for my iPhone 6....yes I still have a 6. I had it for about 5yrs now and now my battery can be at 100% charged until I use my phone for a few minutes and it zaps to 50%, 20%, and then 1%. These guys were able to help be out by replacing my battery completely while cleaning my speaker and the charging port or socket all for $73 (tax included). Now my battery is like new. I charged my battery to 100% and I was using it for a long time before it finally started draining. Now I get to keep my iPhone 6 for another 5 years while an iPhone 20 will be developed. Located in the Ala Moana Center right between McDonalds and Jeans Warehouse at a little kiosk. Parking lot is huge and the customer service is awesome. It about 20mins or less for the battery replacement. read more

The camera protection my I phone had shattered. I went to both my carrier and apple to see if they could repair the phone. Both said that they do not carry the camera protection shield. I was at a loss where to go. Thankfully I remembered a phone accessory cart on the lower level of Ala Moana, Tech Armor. The young gentleman that helped me was very nice had the part and changed it for me in a matter of minutes. Thank you for saving the day! 5 stars! read more

November 2018 ISSUE: Samsung S7 registers 100% charge, but the battery dies after 30 seconds of being unplugged. Sometimes it just restarts itself repeatedly. PAST ISSUES: Spring 2018 - my original battery dies after 2 years of service. It get replaced by a mall kiosk in Cerritos, CA ($60). Three months later it too is dead and phone overheats a lot. The company makes good on the battery and charges me for labor only. Two months later, while traveling, the same thing happens (see "ISSUE" above). DIAGNOSIS: After talking to an employee, named Justin for a few minutes, he asked for my phone. He quickly took apart the Otterbox case to find the back of my phone coming off. His first thought was the guy didnt glue it back on correctly. This thought completely changed when he looked at my battery. It was swollen... looking a bit like a ziplock back partially filled with air. The swollen battery was what pushed the back cover of my phone off. I was told that replacing the battery again may be a solution for a month or two, but he couldn't guarantee it as a permanent solution. He noted that part of the problem would more than likely be something dealing with the charging port connection, the circuit board and needing a part of it soldered, which they do not do. So, I left and went to my provider where I reviewed my plan and ended up purchasing a new Galaxy S9 for myself and a new iPhone 8S for my fiancee who was having unrelated issues with her 6S. Afterward, I returned and thanked Justin. I asked Justin what did he think their best form of advertisement was... internet, TV, radio, newspapers... He started to answer "internet". I cut him off and said, "... no... I am"... He immediate comprehended what I was saying. I told him that I would like to Yelp their business and to look for a review by John S. BOTTOM LINE: Justin could have bullshitted me and sold me a battery... hence making them some cash. I would have left (and left island) happy... for a while at least and then I would be standing in the same shoes 2 months down the line. Instead, Justin leveled with me and gave me the facts. Due to his honesty I would like to recommend this Ala Moana business, Tech Armor, to those looking to utilize their services. So, if you were debating... walking a fence... whatever. Let this Yelp Elite help you make the decision to turn to T.A. for help. Personally, I'd ask for Justin... He was awesome enough to 5 star the business on his own. ME: Enthusiastic Yelp Elite (3 years), Lots of good reviews and some bad experiences as well (I HATE writing bad reviews). I am not a malcontent who reviews only because I am menatlly imbalanced by something trivial and donning a drama queen headdress feels normal. These cats don't quite get that Yelp isn't solely for whining. Yelp never boasted that it was a complaint department. So all those people who post all over Yelp, but ONLY yap negativity ... Or those who have between 1 and ten reviews and they are all 1 star (usually spread out over years)... Note to them: No one takes you seriously... and one of you reading this mistakenly did... well, you now know better. Cheers! read more

I stopped by this booth at Whalers Village to check out souvenirs. I bought 6 of their beautiful bracelets that were handmade in Hawaii. Great place to buy jewellery and cellphone accessories. They do cellphone repairs as well. Great service - highly recommended for quality souvenirs. read more

My 82-year-old father went to Tech Amor Ala Moana mall of honolulu Hawaii location to try his phone charging problem fix. The young staff there suggested buying a new charger for $40. He went home and tried to charged it, but it didn't work. He went back to Ala Moana to return the charger. The staff didn't refund the $40 and asked again to pay another $20. My father paid total $60 in cash. Because staff said he would refresh the charging port repair for part order. A few days later father went to get his phone. But the phone is completely broken and the call is impossible. Rather, a samsung new version phone has become broken device. My father asked for money back. But Owner refused to refund money, Owner said that $60 was there labor charge. My father is so unfair feeling that he will be visit the police station. For a senior with no income, $60 in cash is a valuable money and he needs to buy a new phone. My father couldn't drive, so he changed buses several times and visited the Tech Amor place three times. For the father who visits my mother every day who has been hospitalized in a nursing home for two years, Tech Amor owner's attitude is a big stress. I hope you don't experience something unfair like my father did. The owner broke my father's phone and instead of apologizing, he screamed. My father was traumatized by the current owner's blackmail threats. To the owner, if you have a some conscience stricken, restore the phone to its original condition, apologize to my father and money back! read more

Little disappointed today. Came here special to fix my iPad screen. The guy looked at it and said they could fix it, so we left it and went back 45 min later. Then they tell me that they didn't have that size screen, so they couldn't fix it. The workers were nice about it, but I was still disappointed to wait around for nothing. FYI: It's $120 to fix the screen; which was better than other places. read more

Do not go here!!! Read the 1 star reviews and listen to them!! I did not! Okay so I got my iPhone 8 screen fixed. It seemed fine to begin with. Not even 2 months pass after normal use and the screen starts popping out. After continuously having to push the screen in, it developed white lines that go vertically across it. I paid $120 for this crappy repair. Do not try to save a buck with this business unless you have the money to buy a brand new phone after they mess it up!! Spend the extra money for the quality! This business should invest in quality glue and screens. Go to Apple or another trusted place that will take care of you in the long run! read more

The guy at the kiosk was very nice and professional. However, the quality of the products there is just very low. I had my iPhone X screen replaced paid $130. About a month later with no damages of any kind, the screen just suddenly turned black. This is not what I expected, I thought people should know and think twice if you plan to replace screens for your iphones. read more

Came here to fix a practically broken phone, desperate to get any and all the data that I can off of it. Was immediately greeted by who I think is the manager of the location and was offered an array of options to help us. He even offered to change the screen to simply function the phone at no charge because that's all we needed. Justin was quick and efficient getting the phone working in minutes. Then they all patiently worked with us until we had a successful back up of the phone. Great service & they talk story too, makes you feel like you're not just there to give them business. read more

Great place for cables and accessories. Matan and Ab are very helpful and knowledgeable.

I have twice needed gear repair, once each with an iPad and an iPhone. It's exactly the sort of stuff that you find you should not be trying to do solo, as an idiotic science project. On both occasions the rep was the same tall, good-humored, friendly, forgiving and wonderfully competent guy ("Matan?"). In one case the charge was nominal, given the immediacy of my employment needs and the price/time required by Apple. In the other case...well, it was zero. Probably an act of pity for my idiocy, but regardless an act of kindness. - As for many others, cellular communications have become a critical expectation of my employment. So an unintended consequence of both repairs was that I left the kiosk with a sense of confidence, confidence that I now have a reliable resource for dealing with an region of real vulnerability. It is a good feeling. read more

My bf stopped by to repair his charging port for his iPhone XS Max. We went to numerous places that repair phones and they looked at the charging port, but immediately assumed that they need to order the part to repair it. Went to Tech Armor and the guy running the stand carefully took a look at his phone and pulled out a lint from the charging port. He didn't charge anything and saved my bf a lot of money for fixing something that could've easily been resolved with a pair of tweezers. Great and professional service! I would recommend coming here to save $$, your phone problem could be caused by something minor like my bfs situation lol. read more
