but for your sake, i hope it doesnt, i hated seeing what happened to the alcohol dipped one LOL.
lol i will not go the alcohol route again! finding another cover was not only time consuming, but wasted gas cuz i had to drive about an hour out....

Ur motorola might have had a different texture, i'm pretty sure the rubberized textures on the pro and diamond both hold color well...

i think the bleeding of dye is due to the amount of dye that is used to perform the job... there is so much excess dye that it pushes its way out... i think my technique with the marker was a more proper way of doing it, more like a paint-job
