iPhone with Brushed Metal Trim

I was one of the unlucky people that purchase the 'Incase' for my iPhone & the metal trim got all scratched due to lint etc. Since I was tired of looking @ the scratches I decided to give my iPhone a brushed metal look instead of leaving it with the scratched chrome. Check out my before & after pics ad let me know what you think. I did one side first then took pics. I'm actually working on the apple symbol on that back right now.

Very niiice :p

I take my Belkin clear case off once a week to clean the iPhone, but it looks like mine is also scratched on the sides :(

What did you use to give it the brushed metal look?

Looks good! I would be scared it's going to corrode or something if you rubbed a coating off.

That looks pretty good, don't think I'd do it to my iPhone though. Nice job though.

I love it, how'd you do it?

I used a scotch-brite sponge (rough side) and electric tape to cover the edges of the screen & backing. Took me about 30 min. to do the entire trim. If you plane to do it take your time & be careful. Good Luck to those who are willing to give it a try.

Sorry,but i didn't. I should have takin pictures step by step but i didn't think about it at the time. I will put somthing together right now to give you a basic idea on how i did it.

Hmm. I don't think I'm confident enough to give it a try, but your thread brought my attention to the damage that can happen with the wrong case, so I changed cases today. Thanks!

That actually looks fantastic.
A how-to would be very nice.
