iPhone Case Restoration
« on: March 05, 2010, 05:21:39 AM »
Scratches and Scuffs? No Problem

One of the major things that sells Apple products is the sleek and shiny appeal of such devices. It's what sets apart the iPhone and iPod Touch from similar phones and media players that often offer many more options than Apple.

The picture-perfect exterior doesn't last very long, though, with smudges and minor scratches inevitable without a protective case. Some owners have had the misfortune of incurring greater damage to their iPhone or iTouch exterior. If so, they can follow the steps of Richard Cabrera.

Cabrera, aka Shenaniganz08 on the Macrumor forums, used sandpaper, a 3M headlight polishing kit, and a lot of time and patience to buff out the scratches and dents in a iPhone he wanted to restore.



The links below point to a great guide on restoring an old iPhone with a blemished exterior or even restoring iPhons and iPod Touches as a hobby. Take a look at the pictures on the Macrumor site - they are amazing!
