Looks super cool... if my chrome ever starts getting scratched up I may just try this.

If someone has done that here please post your results.

I'll do it as soon as I see the first few scratches. Can't void warranty right? (God knows I need it...)

That looks awesome but I don't trust myself with a razor blade on my phone!

No need for a razor blade. I taped my phone up today just to test it out and was able to get it perfect without any razor. Just no scotchbrite pad.... but I may just have to pick one up this weekend.

Here are two pics of Patrick92260's {Macrumors} White 3g with this done... looks sweet...

I really like the way that looks.
I think I might pick up a scotchbrite pad this weekend.

I may wait until I get a few scratches on the chrome, if that happens, but if you get it done this weekend post a few pics.

Will do!
I was thinking about doing the volume up/down and ringer switch too since it appears to be the same material.

One more picture.

I actually think it looks better this way.... hope Apple is watching and noting for next years iPhone.

These look great.

That looks really great, i might do it after i get a lot of scratches on mine. I wonder if there will be some cool method to make the back of the 3g iphones better. I already have a few scratches on the back

Doubtful with it being plastic or some high tech plastic as rumored.

The only thing I see by spiffying up the back is:

Yeah, I'd pass on that....

Yeah, I'd pass on that....

Me too for the iPhone.

But I wanted one for the faceplate of my 360.

 

[Libuff]

will there be a possibility to replace the back?

Hey guys, just got done 'brushing' my iPhone and it looks great!
I'm cleaning it off now since the electrical tape did leave a little bit of a residue. I'll be posting some pictures soon!

Hopefully this link works:

Enjoy and sorry for having such a poor digital camera.

reaktor,
did you put the electrical tape right onto the invisible shield?
