It's madness. It's only a color, and you'll likely put a case on it anyway. And if you don't you run the risk of breaking the glass. Frankly, I think people just want white iphones to look different and try to maintain their social status as having the newest things. Can think of so many better ways to spent $300.

People want what they want. It's rather simple. If you want something, what do you do? Buy it. What's wrong with that? Is it wrong because YOU think it's too expensive and there are better things to do with the money? No. It's their money and they can do what they want.

I think it's crazy but I am not going to condemn someone for spending their OWN money how they want. Lol. You only live once - spend away! :cool:
 
haters gonna hate. but nah u guys are right, im not thrilled with all the $$ im spending on this dang phone, but for some unknown reason it makes me happy so ima do it. then, when the iphone 5 comes out, ill sell this one and get that one. its a crazy cycle of craziness.

I sent an e-mail and CC'd it to all the address above. I read somewhere the kid from whiteiphone4now has been jailed...
 
thejae, how do you recommend i go about trying to get a refund as well? should i file a dispute with paypal, or email this alan guy and just ask for it? sorry i was just a little confused about how you said you did it and i just want to make sure im not out 300 ya dig?
 
This kid has to be the dumbest person in the world. He is only 17 and he is willing to throw away everything for like 30000 dollars? Apple lawayers are the top lawyers in the country. Apple is one of the most powerful tech companies in the world and they will do anything to bring this kid down for doing this. This kid is is lots of trouble. Doesn't he know how scary these corporations can be? Look at what they did to Jason Chen at gizmodo. That is nothing compare to what will happen to him.

Kids got balls, and there's obviously people who are willing to pay 300 bucks to convert their iphone into a white one.

Damn i should've ordered a few of these kits and sold them for a larger profit now that the sites gone down,

Here is what I did.

- File dispute with PP explaining whiteiphone4now went bust and that shipment has still not been made.
- Email the three email addresses above looking for my order.
-- Alan replied asking my PP address
-- 40 mins later, PP notify me dispute has been closed and refund issued.

It might be best to email these guys first, they seem quite polite. Also note that they operate from China so any emails will only be attended during local business hrs.

It has nothing to do with balls, he was just a kid who thought he saw a perfectly legitimate business opportunity after talking to a Chinese guy who tried to sell him penis enlargement pills or something through email. He was just ignorant of the consequences, and stupid.
 
I don't think he stole them. Didn't he buy them?

I wonder about all these other places selling white iphone parts, supposedly OEM, as well?
 
I don't mind spending the money because this is the second iPhone 4 that I've cracked the screen on and apple charges $200 to swap it out at the store, to me an extra Benjamin is well worth it to have te color I want

I'm anti-case lol, it may be riskier but I like it clean

And also voiding your warranty at the same time.

Of course people can do what they please with their money. However, personally I think its an exuberant amount of money. So many ways to make the phone look white without voiding the warranty, and for well under 300.
 
The boy is probably locked up in Apple's headquarter and being questioned for stealing parts from jesus Phone. What they did to Jason Chen will be nothing compare to what they did to this 17 years old boy.

I had to reply just to tell you that I got a very good laugh out of what you said. I needed a little comic relief from all these engineering finals. Well done sir.

You can use the "I didn't know" defense but you better have a darn good case as to why you didn't know. Lawyers will do ANYTHING to make you look bad. It's their job. And as stated before, Apple has a whole team of lawyers that will destroy this kid. Yes he did buy the stolen parts but if there is even a slight chance that he knew, lawyers will capitalize on it and take this kid down.
 
Why would anyone want to change there phones to the white front and back if there was a problem with the white shell. Apple did not go with it for a reason and im sure it must of been a good one. So why bother with it.
