Where can you buy the ring separately? I bought a couple of these and am gonna try and get the ring out separately myself lol. We'll see how it works out. For 99 cents, might as well try.
Got a tip for us?

Why no silver ring around the home button on space gray iPhones? (update - pics!)

That was one reason I didn't get the Space Grey. I like being able to see that Touch ID ring. If the ring matched the back of that model imo it would look really good.
I think they didn't do it to keep the front facing all black, and that's what most people(I think) want, when they go with a black phone. It would stand out too much against all black. It's tonal on the white face.
Same here. I like the black front and would prefer a darker chassis. I want to get mine custom painted but I just can't justify the $300 that ColorWare's charging so I put it in a black Spigen case.
Update 11/2/14 - I just received the aluminum ring home button stickers and was able to get just the silver outer ring part out easily and put it on my phone around the home button. It fits perfectly! And I can still use TouchID just fine.
The stickers are on the right. You can see the one I removed the silver outer ring part from... and the other one with everything in tact. It was very easy to remove just the outer silver part... it basically came right off and still had some adhesive on it. We'll see how this holds up over the long-run with extensive use of the home button. It may lose some of the adhesiveness and fall off but for now, it seems pretty well in tact.
Best 99 cents I've ever spent (I bought a few just in case I messed it up haha)

You can buy a gold one for 99 cents. This makes the phone look so much sleeker IMO. I know some like the all black but damn this is nice. It feels like actual metal too... for whatever that's worth
Perhaps.. although I like the contrast the silver gives. If it were space gray, it would be pretty dark and not as noticeable (but obviously some would prefer this)
For 99 cents, I can't complain

It's nice. I wish it came as a space gray color or better yet, if it had been there stock. I'd buy one or two if it was more in line with the space gray.
Zero issues with the touchID
It's definitely personal preference but I like having a little silver contrast like this on the all black screen. The gold and silver have it... even though I know thats a little different given the white bezels.
I think it looks sleek
I have the white 6plus been debating on getting a black instead. I like the clean look. The white looks chunky and ugly to me. Does the black bezel bother anyone when turning on the phone and using it? I would say the only good thing about the white phone is that it looks good with iOS 8 and when using the apps. Everything is white.
What about the black?

Everyone with a black phone (space gray) will tell you they love the all black bezel when the screen is off. It looks great.
I just personally wanted a little contrast with the home button so I did this silver ring thing.
