It's not like the engraving is a huge big-bird or something hideous, it's nice and subtle. I wouldn't mind purchasing it at all if I saw it on Craigslist.

Agreed, the engraving is pretty subtle and shouldn't be a problem if the OP tries to sell it.
 
I was expecting something stupid, like a name, but this is actually pretty cool.
 
hmm we have a 120W Laser engraver in the shop downstairs that i have access to...too bad the back of my phone is always covered by a case.... hmmm new idea.

Missing the point of what the other guy said.

If you had the choice of two Iphone 6's for resell and one had the engraving while the other different, ceteris paribus.

You would definitely chose the one without the logo.


I agree it won't hurt resell that much, but it will negatively affect it.
 
When I saw the title I thought you must have ruined it. But you didn't. It looks nice.
 
Looks good. Where on campus do you have access to this? Maybe I
I'll swing by and do this too. (I noticed the corner of your picture talks about the BuffOne card)

In the ITLL. I have after hours access and I'm trained on the laser cutter. You gotta do both in order to use the laser engravers/cutters. Send me a PM, maybe I can help you out.
 
Hmm ... Maybe we have one of those laser cutters at my university. Might try engraving something just for fun :p

Very cool, AlphaDogg
 
At least you didn't pay for it. What if you have to get the phone replaced through warranty?

They'll probably treat it as cosmetic damage (really no different from drawing on your iPhone with a marks-a-lot, which doesn't void the warranty), assuming they even catch it and not mistake it for a skin, etc.

Either way, iPhones returned under warranty will be refurbished with a brand new case, screen and battery so not really a big deal.

Actually since he went through the trouble having it laser etched, I would guess he would be someone who takes care of the phone (since in order to see the engraving you'd have to keep it out of a case).

Now obviously if you don't like bicycles, it would be a turn off, but much better than a name (unless its your name :)


anyway....


OP:
whatcha working on? launching a space ship or something?
