    Finally someone did this!!! I have been having this idea for the longest. So is it true that using paint thinner on the inside of the housing makes it clear? Because if It does, I might think about upgrading to iphone 4. Paint the faceplate, and add leds to the back. But anyways that looks awesome!!!!!

    Yup paint thinner works i had to let it sit fro about an hour and a half and it pretty much wiped away with a paper towel.

    And thanks

    Looks pretty good. I see it's a black frame. Are you going to get the red home button?

    The black bezel will look sweet. It reminds me of my old Jordan's color.

    Next time you get in touch with them: could you ask if they can procure the LCD+Digitizer assembly, separate from the front glass? Front glass would be even better blank (not printed).

    If so, then the glass could be custom printed (or photo face-mounted) and the digitizer "fused" to it afterwards. With the help of a fixture and a drop of optical silicone, it's no big deal.

    Sure, skins are the easiest way to get a custom look but they could never match the incredible contrast and vibrant colors of behind-thick-glass imagery.

    So are saying you want the glass and digi separated?
