Check the description in this listing. They have lots of different colours like the Blue you linked to. It's Mirror Plating.

thanks for the link. that blue mirror is so nice
----------
That same exact color, and the same link too, (better than what I found, thanks).
What is the deal with the long delivery times, duct taping it to the back of a snails ass???
"Delivery: Estimated within 15-24 business days"
no problem. international shipping can be a pain cause of customs and all that. im emailing them though to get a more realistic shipping time.

Thanks for checking,
(I wouldn't mind paying a few extra bucks to buy from a seller in the us, did u find anything in the us?)
Thanks for the link Frenchy, but I don't see a colored home button offered with those kits?, (and I definitely would want one).
nah i dont think you can get them within the us, unless someone buys in bulk and sells them on ebay. otherwise they're all from hong kong as i notice
Do they offer express delivery?
I found some us sellers on Amazon, but after much research, cant tell if they are all mirror blue, or if they are different.
What do you guys think?

Idk but if they do it's probably extremely expensive. Nope Neither of those are the mirrored blue

Sorry I believe these are the backplates only. I forgot to mention that
----------
Yes. Those are not Mirrored. They are just a dark Blue back like I have on my 4S.
Any answer back?
Anyone else change, or is thinking of changing the color of their iphone?
So your wild guess is it's different glass than the Apple glass also made in China?
C'mon dude, why would you even post something so stupid, (hoping people will shy away)?
I'm getting a set regardless of your mindless post.
Eh.. Not a fan of the glass back period
I took this route..
Not my pic... but the exact same setup.. except I got the SGP Neo hybrid 2 bumper case
gonna get the SGP glas t screen protector and i'm good.. My 4S is a lot less fragile now although I never dropped it yet

I like it very much, but no way will I pay $200 for a face job. $50 max. is what I'll pay with installation.
I'm gonna bite the bullet and order one of these up guys.
I'll hope for the best and will post detailed pics when it arrives.
I'll relook at everything tonight
I'll let you guys know which one I ordered and from where.
If it looks like the one in this vid I'll be happy.

Yes, Please post photos. Not meant to sound harsh on my prior post. It's very cool, just the cost is too much for me to spend on front and rear plates. If anything the phone looks a little like Bang and Olufsen. I think, they have that same Pepsi Color on their home phones.
Because they do NOT cover the 1/16" side strips that run around the phone next to the center band, (making it look exactly like a cheap sticker).
Check out this vid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIpjgamLw3U&feature=related
thats like adding stickers to a car instead of doing a real grahpics paintjob. im not a fan of these wraps, i rather have the real deal
----------
which one did you go with?
Clearly you have never repaired one and have no clue how easy it is
----------
Honestly, how easy is it? I've done a full front/rear casing replacement for a 3GS and it wasn't necessarily hard...but it was really irritating to do. I've still got to reopen it and sort out the power button which must have come dislodged slightly when I was reassembling (it works, but you really need to press down hard on it).
I guess with the 4S it won't be so awkward because things aren't mounted to the rear casing anymore, but how about the front?
A friend of mine put red panels on his 4S, it looks cool
