One question, is the chrome painted as well? Looks like its white in the pics.

I think you'll find that it is, I thought this when I first saw the handset and I think white bezels look AWESOME; all black with a white bezel, hmmm...if only I had the money.
 
Very nice! I like them both, but something about the red makes me really like that one. It's a lot of money, but it looks great. You get what you pay for.
 
I had my first iPhone painted blue/white by Colorware and loved it. At least until I dropped it and had to have it repainted. I might do it again now that I have seen how good they look on the new phone.
 
I enjoy the red the best. The front of the iPhone is not supposed to scratch anyway. (I treat the front of an iTouch like crap and it is like new) and if you have a hip case you should never have to worry about damaging the back.

Nice one.
 
Well negative nancy ... nice to meet you. And I don't think he mentioned a case. I think we all mentioned it. Don't worry about the OP's bank account. If he is happy that is all that matters.

Right? I happily paid Colorware $40 when they painted my 4th Gen iPod black for me (long before colored iPods). They are a little expensive for my taste these days, but they do quality work, and if you like it and can afford it, why not?
 
il laugh so hard when something goes wrong with your 3g and apple gives you a refurb :D

That is, if apple doesn't say their little touch-up violated the warranty...

I wouldn't be surprised, apple tried to deny me of a refurb bc the plastic at the bottom of my phone was a little nicked up.

Both look fantastic!
I'm considering getting my 1st gen. done!

They look nice, I just hope that you don't have a hard malfunction with the phone and you need to go exchange it at the genius bar. Good luck on that one because I doubt they would take it back and you would be stuck with the bill for buying the phone, sending it to colorware, and then buying a new phone because apple won't take it back. Looks good though except for the home button should have been left black.
 
not trying to be a hater like everyone else but I could have done this for like 50. May I ask why the bezel was painted?? I've done some custom paint on tool boxes so I've got some experience painting and masking and this couldn't be that hard. The home button looks like a colours by switcheasy LOL. I think the red would look good with a brushed bezel and tbeblue with the chrome.

I think a 3g iPhone is a bit different than a tool box :D Just saying, and I do get your point. I think these phones look cool, but it's super expensive.
 
So let me get this right; these are now going into cases??? :eek:

Where did I say that? Everyone else in this thread seems to think they are going into cases. Look at my signature to see what they are in.

Yes it's not the best protection, but if they get scratched it's only a matter of time until the next iPhone comes out and I can send those of to Colorware.
