I did this with my last iPhone and I HATED it.

yeah i made the same mistake on my old iPhone. the pictures online made it seem so good, but after a day or so i missed the mirrored look.

I'm keeping my 3G un-brushed.

I've never seen it in person, but it looks pretty awesome in pictures. I'm not a fan of chrome on anything. Infact I changed ALL the chrome hardware on my car to brushed aluminum! 😀

This looks like a really interesting mod, I might have to do this if my bezel gets really scratched up

My 3G bezel is already all scratched up. It must not be very wear resistant. i might do it, if i get time.

😛 I haven't been able to bring myself to scuffing up my new baby yet, even though I'm almost positive I'll love the result.

Do your have your phone in a plastic case? Or no case at all? If so, that's why 😉

I have mine in a suede jacket at all times and I have a scratch-free bezel and buttons 🙂
