All it takes is a decent sized pot (stainless steel prefered), filled with water
Set the stove to medium heat, NOT BOILING.
Pour in dye and allow it to dissolve
wash the cover with soap and water to remove any dirt or oil ect
drop in the cover and stylus(s)
set timer for 15 minutes and stir gently
after 15 mins pull it out gently with tongs or a plastic utensil (metal will prolly scratch cover)
after it cools and dries buff it with a dark piece of denim

you now have a perfectly black cover and stylus(s)!

enjoy.

all credit goes to XWEAPONX for trying this first on his back cover...

(dying the stylus was my idea...albeit too late for myself lol)

Pictures of how it turned out here:
