QUOTE
Saddened by the fact that the Apple logo on the rear-shell of the iPhone is just a dead, un-illuminated entity, a bunch of Russian modders have taken a dremel and soldering iron to one—or is it a replacement back shell? Either way, they brought the sexy (glow) back. Apparently "the battery doesn’t suffer a lot, you can adjust the glow level in Settings menu." Hmmm. Are they hacking into the screen back-lighting circuit? If you're not convinced by the photo: check out the video, it looks pretty real.

Now you should be convinced: if this mod isn't real, that video is a very well-done fake. There's no info on how it's been done, so it's up to you to work out how to follow in their footsteps if you too want a glowing fruit.


Question is, is that for REAL or is it fake? The crazy brightness of the Apple logo shining through is pretty intense. Thoughts?

But wouldnt that drain the battery even more? In that video, the mod is on the Aifonej. How they make the silver Apple icon piece glow like that, unless they've replaced it with glass or clear plastic?

This mod involves advanced handyworks that is beyond my capabilities. sad.gif

There is someone selling this LED back cover on ebay and also a few videos uploaded on youtube too. To my understanding, they purchased spare back covers (which they do get in off the shelf in the US) and send it for die-cutting of the apple logo and replace it with acrylic and a LED source.

It's kinda bright, if it was done like those apple logos on the macbook covers than i think its kinda cool.

That looks fine and all, but I'd rather have the back looking like the original iPhone. I just want the logo to glow. Glow, not spotlight! laugh.gif

Todd Schneider sent me an update to the iPod integrations I covered a while back. He customized his Mini Cooper and installed an iPhone cradle in the armrest.

The mod gives him full Bluetooth hands free and steering wheel controls for the iPhone.

Or the other more unwanted side effect, like having your iPhone in your pocket and having it ring, and start glow-pulsating! Pulsating crotch anyone? tongue.gif

@Fighteden
The mod would add thickness to the iPhone on the bottom side wouldnt it?

I read that the mod comes with brightness control in Settings as well. But yeah. I agree it will drain the battery faster.

The Texas Hold'Em is stable. The first initial release is buggy, and spits me out to the Homescreen, but the recent updates makes for a smoother experience. So does Scrabble.

But that's OT. Let's get more ideas for an iPhone MOD.
