Eh I mean even if you do buy another back ... you'll be no worse than twenty bucks all in . But I'm notorious for spending money on stupid things , so what do I know haha. As soon as my bro gets my design done ill post more pics ... actually thinking about going to hobby lobby online. They have a make your own color option . Wouldn't mind having a few different backs I could swap out for different looks .

looking at the comments on the post that the op linked to, it looks like it doesnt work well. Nothing but complaints on how easily the stuff peels off.

If you do it poorly and leave an edge , it peels . If you do inside and outside .. with no lip to Peel from , then its fine .

Nope . After I painted inside ... I just took a box cutter and cleaned off the clips . Been several days now . No peeling , no complications other than people asking if I have an iPhone haha

If you make me one, I will pay about $10-$15 for it, that should just about cover the cost of everything including labor I believe.

 

[lucas.scott]

Unfortunately I don't care to order from Sammy over and over again . It really isn't hard to do so yourself ... fun too

The part I fear is opening the clips back up....

I just finished my roommates , he went out to the garage and popped the cover back on before I had cut out the clips ... and it was bad , not saying this would happen every time but I did this time .

By the time I realized what he did, I went to pull the cover off .. it had obviously dried a little to the phone .. so it was difficult to pull off . But once I did , the clips automatically got the dip ripped off . Was pretty awesome actually . Again , wouldn't bet the bank that it would every time . But my girl is switching to a fascinate , and when I do this for her , I will try it again . And ill have a cool new color to post might dabble with a polyurethane of sorts for sealing

Cutting out the clips worries me. Don't want to cut them or anything.

Well if you were to actually sand and paint .. the clear coat is mainly what makes it so smooth ... which I have considered just see how it turns out ... probably wouldn't be so hot
