Who wants Pink iPhone?

Navintar · Jul 19, 2007, 06:46 PM

This actually had me think. You probably don't want to care too much about protecting your iPhone from scratches. You can send in for repaint!

you can also paint it yourself

Sobe · Jul 19, 2007, 07:15 PM

there should be a law...

mkrishnan · Jul 19, 2007, 07:17 PM

At least make it the color of the magenta RAZR or the Pink Nano?

The General · Jul 19, 2007, 07:42 PM

I want this so badly...

Nahmeanz · Jul 19, 2007, 07:45 PM

they offer to paint the home button...how do they do that if it's glass?

Navintar · Jul 19, 2007, 07:54 PM

I believe only the button is made of clear plastic though. Nonetheless, 150$ doesn't justify a new look imo. We'd rather get a new one as the price of the iPhone will likely go down in the near future.

lofight · Jul 20, 2007, 09:12 AM

the stupid colorware logo is very sad, you pay 150$

and then they still have the colorware logo on it.

i've seen this today on crave.cnet.com today, they're really nice, i would take the ferrari version with red and black

zeppiecr · Jul 20, 2007, 09:20 AM

I want a carbon fiber back.

tobefirst · Jul 20, 2007, 09:31 AM

See, I would much rather have the case be customizable than the ringtones. Some of those colors look good. Not $150 good, but good nonetheless.

U2 iPhone, anyone?

ROTFL!! Best post I read this week

Nice colors but, the logo they stick there is ridiculous.

sblasl · Jul 20, 2007, 11:02 AM

Can you tell them that their logo is a "no go"?

uNext · Jul 20, 2007, 11:15 AM

Let me get this straight...
If i send in my iphone they will slap that ugly sticker on my phone?

I don't mind their logo at all... the phones look great. But what does this do to the apple warranty?

roland.g · Jul 20, 2007, 11:22 AM

Takes it to $219 to have Frame, Button, Logo, Earbuds, and Dock done as well.

ChuckG · Jul 20, 2007, 12:11 PM

It would only be worth it if they actually modified the black bezel which is underneath the glass. Obviously they might have to deal with the touchscreen layers, making it too complicated.

Otherwise, most color combinations look nasty combined with a black front.

Any word on how the paint won't just come off, especially around the rim due to abrasion?

tjespo22 · Jul 20, 2007, 12:12 PM

i kept looking on their site cuz i wanted to know if they were gonna start doing the iphones.
i would take this one.

L3X · Jul 20, 2007, 12:33 PM

they claim their X2 paint technology is scratch resistant.

the logo is dumb...it doesn't show up as much with the white background.

The U2 iphone post was funny btw.

Mac-Addict · Jul 20, 2007, 12:34 PM

They all look really ugly... I just want a 3g 16gb iPhone T-Mobile running iPhone. Too much to ask for?

It would void the apple warranty. If you look over their site they tell you that you then end up with a waranty from them instead of Apple. At least that's what I got out of it at first glance.

javaGuru · Jul 20, 2007, 12:40 PM

There is no way in hades I would send my iPhone to these people. I can't bare to part with it for 5 minutes....

33scottie33 · Jul 20, 2007, 12:42 PM

I would love to have it done, but I can't be 8 - 10 days without my iPhone. They need to come up with a loaner program.

No, not too much to ask for. You just have to wait 5 years.
