Custom iPhone Back Cover From Solid Titanium | 2010-06-29 22:54:26 | | | | This is the hottest thing you’ll see today: an iPhone with a custom titanium back. Martin Schrotz wasn’t happy with the plastic back of his iPhone 3GS, so he did what anyone would do. Martin measured the original case digitally, plugged those numbers into some CAD software and then milled his new case design from a solid ingot of titanium.
| | | You first thought will be “what about the reception?” I thought the same thing, and apparently so did Martin. The block from which he carved his masterpiece is in fact a titanium alloy which, although non as RF-transparent as plastic, gives a good enough signal.
We love it, especially the unibody-chunkiness of it, which makes it look like a tiny iPad. Version 2.0 is already under way, with a smaller Apple logo and a thinner case near the antenna, which is one of the thickest bits of titanium in V1.0. More pictures below.
