Laser Engraving iPhone
An engraving on glass has a frosted white appearance. Â On the white iPhone 4S it is subtle, just the textured mark cut into the glass. Â On the black iPhone 4S the appearance is sparkling white. Â Over time, since your phone is handled so much, the frosted color absorbs oils and fades, leaving just the smooth cut away area. Â A beautiful permanent etching. Â We have heard of customers using a sharpie or paint marker to apply a color fill.
If you would rather not part with your new iPhone you can purchase a replacement back from us. Â We will engrave it and ship to you and then you can easily install it onto your phone. Â Â Instructions are available on iFixit.com – Installing iPhone 4 Rear Panel
Back panels are currently available for the AT&T/GSM iPhone 4 and we are taking pre-orders for iPhone 4S.
