Do you like the iPhone 4 in the image? Well, it is not a lost prototype but a modification of the model that is currently marketed to which they have changed the original back cover for one with a metallic finish.
After the exit you have a small tutorial in which you can see the process to replace the original case with this other one.
The process to change one case for another is very simple since we will simply have to remove the two screws at the bottom of the iPhone 4, gently pull the case up to remove it, put the new one on and replace the screws. As you can see, there are 4 simple steps that you have detailed with images below:
And here the final result:
This metal case is available on the cnn.cn website for $ 12,99
In Dealextreme you also have a wide catalog of metal housings with which you can personalize your iPhone.

What a great !!
Anyone who has tried it ??
It would not hurt to have one, in case the glass breaks, I am sure that if you send it repaired they will nail you at least € 100 ...
the truth is that it is very beautiful, but it has a pint of scratching just looking at it
I had the cell lg shine and the back was metal and it looked very good ^ - ^, an iphone like that would look just as good * O *.
watching the video of how to disassemble the iphone 4 (on the website where they sell the back cover) is encouraging, seeing how easy it is to change the cover and the battery.
I am very interested, as Alonso says, someone who has tried it?
Hello!
I just asked for one !! xD the iphone looks beautiful like this 🙂 and I stay calmer unless the glass back that goes with the iphone as if it were a treasure hahaha! pending not to scratch it or not to drop it…. I'll tell you how when I get there.
@José. have you already asked?
can you extend the order?
How much does it cost you for shipping costs?
because if you are from Barcelona, can you ask me for one?
Before ordering it, the warranty is lost when disassembling the mobile, right?
I asked for one and I tell you a big problem ...
It does not have a flash lens, that is, when you take a photo or video with the flash, the flash bounces inside the mobile (inside the housing) and penetrates the camera lens ... it's a shame because it makes it useless with the flash ...
regards!
@sad: well it is a problem, but do you have this same one?
Is there any other model of metal housing that does not have this problem?
And I don't think I lose the guarantee, do I?
It must be another one that sad bought, in this one the hole for the flash is clearly seen in the images.
I do not think I will lose it, since when disassembling the case according to the post, you only have to remove the two screws from the dock, which are not sealed.
Too bad about the flash, the truth is that the case is not bad at all,
Well, I think that the subject of the flash should be with another case, because this clearly shows the appropriate way to let the flash out, I also just asked for one (damn paypal, how easy everything is… DDX)
in this it looks transparent to the flash. What is possible is that when the light is released, it bounces off the plastic and the photo looks bad. someone tried to shoot a photo with the plastic that covered the new iphone? I did, and the photos came out white and blurred. at least to me…
This carcass is cool…., They could have already sold it that way from origin.
Now I am going to consider it, it is already starting to seem like a good purchase on the 4th and change my 3GS
Very nice yes, but I am concerned about two things: flash and signals, the flash because it does not need to be covered for the flash to bounce, and the signals because it is clear that the antennas do not get along very well with depending on what metals.
If you have any proof that you tell us, how are you?
Oh, and yes, the warranty is lost 😛 But hey, in a year it looks like a new mobile is not a bad idea 😛
where it can be purchased to buy it and price
charlyalse reading won't hurt.
THIS POST IN THE NEWS!
I just asked for one, regarding the flash ... I think they are wrong there ... because it looks very good that it has a space for the flash, and that it bounces off the plastic or something like that, you say there ... I don't I see so clear, because the original housing is made of glass, and nothing bounces, the white photos also happened to me, but it was because of the plastic that protected it, but if the glass of the lens, and that of the flash are separated, there need not be a "bounce" of light.
I'll tell you what the result is when it arrives (between 5 and 10 days)
ah! and for those who asked around ... the shipping costs are about $ 5 by ordinary mail, come on, it ends up going out for $ 17,99 a little less than € 15
@Luis: I wait impatiently for your comments 🙂
Hello!
By the way, charlyalse, emmm, does it cost less to read than to write a comment and wait for an answer?
Gentlemen on the web to order the casing, it makes it available in reserve, that is, the shipments have not been made yet, I understand ...
Hello, good to all, I have bought several cases for the iphone 4 and they have the same opening for the flash and IF the flash bounces and it fucks all the photos. It looks great but I do not recommend it for those who take a lot of photos, especially at night which is when it is most noticeable that the Flash bounces. So whoever wants to casing ... forget about flash
It's the same; there is room for flash but not the necessary LENS, if you read better males ...
You need a diamond type lens ... they are sold out there loose ...
That you know how you open the mobile even if it is only to remove two screws, you lose the guarantee automatically. Another thing is that if something happens to you, change it before sending it and for whatever reason they do not realize it, but as you miss a screw a bit, or see a footprint inside or any detail, goodbye guarantee. Take it into account because a lot of questions about the bullshit of the flash but few people care about it ...
I have had to change several Apple products that I had previously disassembled and leaving them as they are given to you, as long as they have no obvious damage, they are changed without any problem.
At least that's my experience. If you also go insitu to an applestore, they will not put you any impediment. The last thing they want is to give the present public the image that a customer with a product in poor condition is not satisfied. This type of deal and although they do not proclaim it, it is already included in a terminal of 600 or 700 euros.
You seriously prefer the typical metal touch of almost all cell phones today to the touch of glass ???????
Doing Jailbreak also voids the warranty .. And an iPhone without Jailbreak should not be considered an iPhone xD. If there was one for the 3GS I would order it without hesitation.
One doubt: looking at the photos it gives me the impression that the metal casing is slightly thicker than the original glass (making the iPhone a little thicker).
Can anyone confirm if this is so?
Thanks in advance.
It looks good but I would like to imagine it in more COLORS Q BELIEVE YOU !!!
Well, I ordered an original white back cover from DX, it arrived last Friday and I already have it.
mounted. It has been luxurious, I already have my white iPhone, although white like the 3G, that is, white on the back and black on the front.
Anyway, as it is very easy, I will also try the metallic one. By the way, with the
White the photos with flash ok
@antcobo: what is the Dx link where did you buy?
I also see that this metal casing is a little thicker than the original, but it certainly looks good and most importantly, it does not break hahaha
Perhaps the lens for the flash will have to be removed from the original cover and placed on the new metal. Anyone who has disassembled the original, can you confirm that the flash lens can be disassembled ????
Greetings.
Doesn't it look like a glass top with a sticker emulating the metallic color on it? I say this because the part of the camera is still black underneath ...
Very cool, yes sir ...
In ipodeate.com they are giving one away, or at least it is identical
hello everyone 😉
Has someone already received the carcass?
What impressions can you tell me?
Thank you
do we know anything about the carcasita?
It has not yet arrived to me, but I have it in transport since 28/10, according to the mail received with an update of the order.
The 5 that I ordered have arrived, they have taken but it was worth the wait. They go well and there are no problems with the camera or the Flash !!! It is super simple to put on and gives a different toke to your iPhone, and gives you the assurance that if you drop it, it is unlikely that it will break!
Greetings and encouragement that I guarantee that it is a good purchase.
@kitoli good information!
thanks 😉
xkitoli, do you have the real photos of how it looks?
Unlikely to break ??? If what really matters is the screen. So it would break anyway, right?
Franctastic, as you told me in your day that you were waiting for news from me, that you know that I just picked up my case, and I have mounted it, ah! And because it took so long they sent me a screen protector, a transparent film to protect the digitizer from scratches. I have done tests with both photos and videos (in case it looks bad) and it works great, it is super easy to exchange, and it looks robust and beautiful, not a fragile trinket. It also gives that different touch and at the same time elegant and beautiful. So I already have two rear casings in case one breaks.
@luis 😉
have you mounted it? I don't know if I could do it ...
input I do not have a screwdriver so peke.
I would have to find some Chinese from Barcelona to wear it.
As for the warranty, does it show in something that you have changed it?
Hello!
@franctastic do not think that it is difficult, it is simply to unscrew the two little screws that the iphone carries underneath, and with another plane or something, do a little lever at the bottom to lift the lid and doing it carefully, it comes out on its own without any effort, and then it is to fit the new one, which fits perfectly, screwed, and voila.
And well, notice it does not show that I have changed it, the only thing is to be very careful with the screws so that they do not mark and show that they have been tampered with, but hey, I already have two housings 🙂
Regards!!
Hello good! It has reached my tb, and with a free screensaver for the delay.
Very easy to assemble and they are beautiful. With the bevels, the flash does give me problems, but I don't usually use it, but with the other ones, ok.
The others not beveled in colors although it does not put anything, they have a quite nice metallic finish.
100% recommendable. They are put in 1 min.
Please, I want to buy the metallic housing that does NOT give problems with the flash, you have talked about several, beveled and not beveled ...
Can someone who has the one that does not give problems with the flash give me the link to buy it?
Thank you very much
Sorry, I don't know if I have explained myself well in the last comment, I want the silver metal casing.
Thank you!!
@ killo98 I have the one that this article says and I can assure you 100% that it does not give any type of problems, I have taken photos on purpose in a totally dark room to see if the slightest sign of reflection is seen, but nothing, I can assure you that the parts of the flash and the camera are very well isolated, in addition to having an outline of some kind of rubber-like material, or something like that, I don't know exactly what it is that surrounds each of the holes to fit the camera and the flash and there are no problems. the one here is beveled, and I recommend it, apart from being super pretty. you have the link in the same article.
You tell me how you have been 🙂
regards!
And what about the signal? Neither does it cause any kind of interference or weaken it?
@Luis, Thank you very much Luis, as soon as they give me the iPhone this week I ask for it ...
A greeting!
No Guillermo, it does not cause any kind of problem with the antenna signal, because the metal part is mounted on a plastic one, so it does not have direct contact with the metal edge or any internal part of the phone.
And killo98, if you ask for it, I would recommend you, in the same order, ask for the screwdriver for the screws, it's cheap, I don't know if it was about 5 dollars, and you save yourself having to look for one as small as it happened to me. time to want to change it haha.
Regards!
@Luis, Thank you 😉
I ordered several for some friends and I and I tell you, the colored metallic bevels are very beautiful, but when taking photos with flash you see a shadow of the color of the housing. The "plain" colors to call them in some way, do not stand out at all and do not give problems with the flash. They also have a very nice metallic finish.
Assembling is very simple, yes, you have to have a screwdriver of that size. Signal reception of any type (mobile, Wi-Fi, etc.) is not affected at all.
If you provide me with an email, I will send you the photos of how the colored ones are.
All the best
Oh my God, there are people who are doing well and others are not ... I don't know what to do because if the flash doesn't go well, I'll take the one that comes standard ...
I don't know which ones you mean by BEVELS.
we are talking about:
Metal beveled back cover for Apple iPhone 4 black / silver
That metal plate has a beveled edge.
Can you inform me if this is the correct one?
thanks and salut!
The beveled ones are the ones that stand out a little more, and it indicates this in the name. I think it's in silver, lilac, blue, pink, and black.
The non-beveled ones are in more colors but not silver. They look very good and do not give flash problems, in my case, if it happens. I have also tried the non-beveled ones, which also have a metallic finish, and no problem.
At least this is my case.
The 2 are highly recommended, although in the case of the bevel, that small failure is detected when using the flash.
@clank: the one in the photo, from what you say, is silver in color and therefore beveled?
I want the one that does not give problems, that is, I have to buy the NO BEVEL, right?
Can you send me the link of the NO BEVELS, please? is that I can't find it.
the link that they put here sends you to the BEVEL.
Thank you
To those of you who have them ... How long did it take you to get there?
I asked for 3 a few days after the 1st post came out talking about them and still nothing
Hello everyone again. I confirm what was said on the 10th. I've been with the back cover for 13 days, I still like it a lot, but…. Indeed, the letters and the little apple disappear with catastrophic speed ... and I'm quite careful with our little one. It's a shame. Anyway, I have ordered a blank glass case from eketshop and I am waiting for it, to tell you about it.
Is the warranty lost when installing this case?
Sorry, could you put the direct link of the back cover that you show in the photos, I can't find it, I want it as it comes out with the visible brand.
Thank you :)
I join the petition ... where to get a case like that? I can't find it on the aforementioned website… .Thank you
Hello, I have an iPhone 4 and I would like to buy the metal case, but I can't find the way to order it. Do you have shipments to Mexico? Does an extra charge apply?
I leave you my email to get in touch, and tell you about other problems that I have had with my iphone (rdzlopez@hotmail.com). Please add me.
Do you know if these tapas are sold in Spain?
Thanks and regards.
They can provide me with the contact information, payment methods, shipping, etc. etc. I am interested in purchasing the product.
I recommend that you do not touch the back covers of the iphone.
I leave it there.
I took mine made of aluminum that is beautiful for 1 week, as soon as I began to notice that I did not have coverage where I did before, I began to do tests.
They reduce the reception of coverage a lot! It can vary up to 2 lines of coverage compared to the original in cases of poor reception.
The wooden ones I don't even want to imagine since the material is much more insulating.
It's true, the most has happened to me, with the original casing signal everywhere, now with this one, inside my house I don't have a single line.
Hello, good day, I'm from Leon Guanajuato Mexico, excuse me, a question would be very expensive, will you send it to me here in Mexico? and if you could send it to me? Thanks in advance and greetings!!!
I require a rear metal casing and its screwdriver, how much would shipping to Madero, Tamaulipas Mexico?
