Transparent iPhone 4 kit has us drooling

Here is new look on a nine month old iPhone.  A Chinese parts manufacturer offers up a kit to replace those iPhone glass panels with transparent ones.  Click below to see the finished project and twice click on images for full sized glory.  Downsides include possible “less than Gorilla” glass strength and transparent glass letting in light for degraded picture quality (same issue with orig. white iPhone 4).

 

Chris at MICGadget says he will be taking orders.  He updates us with the following:

The transparent back panel I got is a little bit different from the one featured on UWANTS. The one on UWANTS includes the front panel too, while I only have the back panel. And the one I got comes in three colors.
