Mod Your iPhone: Black Enclosure

Wednesday July 18, 2007 11:50 pm PDT by Arnold Kim


Forum user, hexproject, spent three hours replacing the back casing of his iPhone with a replacement black metal cover ($48.99).

The actual replacement process appears to be very involved, requiring you to disassemble your iPhone, but the results look nice. More photos in the comments.
