Nice white iPhone 4 mod

by Dave Caolo Jul 6th 2010 at 11:00AM

While we wait for Apple to begin selling white iPhones, people have been coming up with their own solutions. The folks at Engadget used several spare parts to build theirs. But TUAW reader Trevor took a decidedly simpler approach.

First, he created a file with a JPEG of the vintage Apple logo and then sent it to Gelaskins' upload tool. From there, the process is simple. Using the online tool, drag the uploaded image to the iPhone 4 template and set it just so. You can even create matching wallpaper. Finally, make your purchase and let the Gelaskins worker bees do the rest.

Yes, it's just a stick-on skin, but the vintage logo ads a bit of cool and, unlike Engadget's solution, all of the original parts are intact.

So I tried to go to the Gelaskins website and upload this jpeg image that Jon has shared but it is not working. I tried to upload it in Chrome, Firefox, and IE. Anyone else have this problem or have any suggestions. Their website must not be working or something?

Did anyone ever come up with a version with the "standard" (i.e. not rainbow) apple logo on white? Would be awesome, thanks all!

Yeah, the quality on those is not good enough to print. Look at the text. You'd be wasting you money really.
