Quick update: the smell is pretty much gone now from the dyeing process. and there are no signs of fading bleeding or smudging at all... I KNOW someone will still ask about all 4 anyway lol

I've had this issue a few times and I havent even taken the phone to the gym yet lol. It's only been a slight amount of rub off but none the less.. I'm wondering if a coat of clear coat or something will help lock in the color and still make it look good. I havent decided if I'll take this route or buy an invisable shield.. has anyone had this issue and been able to work around this?

if your having this issue then you didn't buff it enough. I've had zero bleed or rub off.

Success I didnt mention a gunmetal color. Are u sure it was me? I did the black first like everybody else and then I did blue. I have two more "blanks" that i said I was going to do in orange and some king of green (maybe vista green). Ill post my pics in a sec but that gunmetal sounds like a great idea though. A nice deep gray thats not charcoal nor black. Tempting

thanks for the pictures! looks really good, while i don't like the burgundy at all, the burgundy area around the USB port does look quite nice.
