Thank you, I ordered mine yesterday morning.
 
I'm hoping the price will go down for the back soon. Maybe when the actual white phone comes out.
 
Just checked my order, its says ready to ship now. Also since last week when I ordered the price is now down to $78.03, I paid $89.79, oh well.
 
When did you order yours? I ordered mines on August 5th and paid 89.79. I'm sure they will revise your price if you call them.

I didn't read the whole thread, just the first page, but this is very cool. I especially like it with the black bumper on it. I'm tempted to do it myself but the link to the website that sells the part won't load so I'm a little skeptical now.

Edit: And I have a semi-relevant, semi-stupid question to add. How is this possible if Apple is having/had trouble making the white iPhone? In other words, how are there white aftermarket parts available already?
 
Why does this thread have so many posts? To get a white back, all you need to do is unscrew the bottom two screws, simply SLIDE off the black one and then slide on the white one. Of course he didn't get a white front, that's an extremely complicated process.

Likely because it is the only or one of the only threads like this. And you make a good point that somehow didn't even cross my mind when considering doing this to my phone.

Because people are interested in quality as well. Like if the missing diffuser is an issue.

These parts are more than likely rejected parts.
 
Does anyone knows if Globaldirectparts.com are open today. I've been getting their voice mail all day.
 
Is your camera reversed or something? I've been sitting here for the past 10 minutes wondering why your apple is backwards. lol and your shirt too.

Does this work better for you? :)

Probably, yes. If I were a millionaire, I'd buy a white kit + white headphone jack and dock connector. But since I'm not, I'll make due with the black one until/if the white one comes out.
 
They changed the price to $104.99 and the rep from Globaldirectparts told me that they made a mistake. I wonder if someone from the forum bought one under that price.
