oh sorry about that, hear it is
cleanup may require being stuck washing up the dishes or pot you used to cook your cover, bounty paper towels will be useful to clean the spills.

Great post! I just flashed my rom and dyed the back. It feels like a brand new better looking faster phone.

The tip about buffing the back after everything was said and done helped a lot. It had an ashy uneven look before buffing it.

Yes! It will cost more. But might hold up better. I'd never do it tho.

so there's no staining of your hands afterwards at all?

dude you should buy a bunch of replacement covers, dye them, then sell them on ebay for double the price :P
