I have saw that some of you guys have replaced the iPhone 4 back covers with new ones silver metal or something along them lines.

Can you guys post me some pics and the places where you purchased them from please?

I got mine from the bay for about £8, really easy to do also.

Any pictures or links for the product you purchased? It looks like you can get some really nice glass/metal backs now for the iPhone 4!

Them pictures are quite hard to see! I can guess that it looks good though.

I seriously want a green iPhone 4. I'm very tempted to do a front and back replacement after looking at the disassembly guides. Long and fiddly but doesn't look massively complicated.

I could get a proper glass back and just a vinyl for the front to make it easy, but it would look cheap and the colours probably won't match.

The problem is with replacment parts sometimes it can be fiddly but with the back it dosn't look too bad. The front can be taken off with a suction cup if I remember correctly.

The colour transformation kits are not worth the price though but you can get metal/glass ones now.

I'm still not 100% if it's worth it if a new iPhone is out later this year anyway.

Good point, might be worth putting the money away ready for the iPhone 5.
