I used to know of another site, but I can't remember the name. Still, this one has exactly what you need:

Hey what about this iPhone skins. They have black ? and only $6.99. No need to take iPhone apart. I think I may do this instead and put invisible shield on top of it.

decalgirl.com
website says they use premium grade adhesive-backed cast vinyl then covered with a high-gloss clear protective coating, all of our skins use an innovative, repositionable and removable adhesive backing for fast, easy and accurate installation and goo-free removal! Thin enough to work with most accessories but tough enough to absorb most minor abuse.
Other skins are available.

BE VERY VERY VERY CAREFUL!!
I just did mine.
If you use the adhesive remover and then pry things off, parts will break, so be extremely careful while taking it apart.
Be careful with superglue. It runs. And hurts to peel off your fingertips."The glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time you fall."

Questions and Suggestions for those doing the switch
I did it! BUT.......... am a fool because I did left the buttons while using the remover! I completly messed up my vibrate/silent button (plastic) and to top it off as I tried to toggle it with a clip the damm piece broke!
Question for all of you who are experieced:
1) I found a person who sells the actual buttons (not the assembly)... should i purchased them? And would taking the black cover be easier than the first time? I ruined the silver... don't want to do that to this one!
2) So because I broke the toggle switch I think it's stuck in silent..... therefore when anyone calls I can't get it to ring out loud... DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO WORK AROUND THIS PROBLEM?
Suggestions for those doing this:
1. Dont be lazy, go to the store and buy everything you need: small razor blade (exacto), phillips small screw driver, remover, and try to purchase some patience.
2. DONT LEAVE THE BUTTONS WHEN YOU SINK THE SILVER COVER IN THE REMOVER...... I AM STUPIED because I know what removers do, i was just too excited about my new cover to think straight.
3. DONT DO THIS IF YOU DONT HAVE A WHOLE DAY FREE, i took me forever!
4. Make sure when you glue them back (OH AVOID SUPER GLUE, i used it but i got me in some trouble, try the gel it probably works better) make sure the cable that holds all the switches dosent get damaged, i noticed that when the little motor (rotating next to the vibrate button) dosent have room to move it will stop your buttons from working!!!!
Hope this helps and hope someone can help me! Thanks

All of those electronics on the OEM (silver) backing is it this
http://cnn.cn/shop/apple-iphone-earp...le-p-1935.html
because if it is then you won't have to worry about ripping/cracking/messing up your silver backing. then you swap them out much quicker if you need to, i would assume...i still have yet to try this.

Mmm... I'm doing this over winter break for sure...
If it goes without a hitch I might offer to do it for other people for a bit of a fee, but who knows, kyahaha.

I have this but installation looks hard, tedious and annoying. I might end up selling it.

It looks like it is but it might be missing the actual buttons, like the black parts. But if we can find somewhere that sells them, then we could just buy the black housing, the part mentioned above, and the buttons and just glue it into the black part and swap it with the silver one. That way you'd be able to switch back whenever you want right?

Wow, I just looked at the Colorware site and saw that they can do all black with a WHITE Apple logo. It would match my black Macbook perfectly! But Im afraid it will get scratched if I drop it and also, when they take my phone apart will I lose all my third party apps?
