Kinda agree with you, maybe because I just want something different. I get bored with stuff easily but actually I don't think the inside is that ugly. There's just nothing nice about it but all in all I think it looks pretty cool.
I ordered one from sw-box on 3/5 and it still hasn't arrived.
I fear it may be lost.
It was shipped on 3/15.
Something else I ordered from another company in China was shipped 3/13 and arrived a few days ago.

Not sure where you're at in the world but mine "shipped" 3 weeks ago and I just got it yesterday. I'm on the east coast so I know, from previous purchases from China, that it takes a little longer to get to me. I'd say give it another week or two.
Even though the tracking says it's still in transit it was waiting for me when I got home.
Has anyone also replaced the front? I see a lot of rear and front glass replacements on ebay. just afraid to order in case its crap.
i just read the instructions to take it apart and I am like... meh.... cbf to do it
I'm still under warranty too and that's what I originally thought. But after changing the back out and seeing how easy/fast it was, I'd just say go for it. You can always put the OEM back on in the event you need to get it serviced or something. Takes, literally, like 2 minutes to do it.
just got mine. considering how the guts look on most phones when exposed, the iphone is quite pleasant, but obviously wasnt designed in mind to be shown off.
regardless, i'll be using mine as a picture frame and will use the clear backplate to hold some of my art prints inside the phone for display.

their was something on Gizmodo a few weeks ago about this
basically tells you how to take apart you existing back and using nail polish remover remove the black paint on the existing glass case.
That way you retain your phons details on the rear

Thanks. I haven't looked at those instructions yet. I ordered the rear back glass (baby blue) on ebay. Hopefully it will be good quality and fit right.
I know, I took the back off a friends iPhone 4 when it was dropped in the toilet, its so easy, I like how it looks, but I'd wanna be able to mess around, change them up etc.
I tried searching and couldn't find it either. It sounds familiar, the article, but no such luck in finding it.
