Everything during that process went well, with the exception of some strange black discoloration with the clear lens portion of the cover. You can see the pictures in my previous post.

So, back on topic. Luckily I also had some black dye to experiment with (that's just how I roll ). I repeated the process as before with a temperature a little less than before. Previously I set the heat to medium. This time I set it 2/3 of the way between low and medium. There was one pleasant surprise this time around. It dyed perfectly (as before), but the discoloration was gone! So, just so everyone knows, you can easily dye these more than once with ease. And if anyone had the same problem with the lens cover discoloration as I did, it's apparently not permanent.

Maybe this is helpful, maybe not. Either way, enjoy.
that's amazing that it worked twice AND took away the discoloring on the lens cover!! i'm curios what would happen now going from black to a lighter color? heh maybe that's how HTC ended up giving us burgundy! they tried to dye it from black to red and that's the color they got? LOL
