[Disclaimer: this isn’t really a physical mod, but you never know how Apple employees might see it if you ever need to use your iPhone warranty, and they might not take kindly to this subtle cosmetic modification. You’ve been warned.]
I found this tip so ridiculously exciting that I actually taped my iPhone up this afternoon and tried it out myself. I received the instructions via TheJdevinci439‘s and LuisMayhem17‘s videos, although I’d suggest the latter because the video is a little clearer.
The gist of the tip is this: if you’d like to hide or eliminate scratches on your iPhone’s bezel, or you just want to sport a different look, then find ye a two-sided sponge and tape up your iPhone all kidnapped-like, leaving only the bezel exposed. Take the rough side of the sponge and start buffing the chrome in long, straight swipes. The whole process takes about 10 minutes, but your iPhone will come out looking just just a little sharper than it used to. It’s a subtle change, but the buffed bezel is not as prone to fingerprints and just looks a lot more hi-tech overall. I like it!
