Excuse the caps but more and more people r reporting problems with this DIY method and alot can be traced back to having the water too hot. Its like telling ur kid over n over not to stick a fork in the electrical socket. After a while u need to pop them on the behind to make it sink in

the cover is black and its got that rubbery feel. do you think the RIT dye grey color would cover the black or do you think the black will show through? or just not take at all.

Anyone not familier with Alltels coler see attached images

(mostly nextel phones.)

LOL... SO mine looked like *** trying it make it blue, and it made it black instead... After using it for a week now, it some how looks perfect after I buffed it... LMAO! Color doesn't come off of it and it looks tons better then the stock gray! I only wish it was blue.. lol... I got another cover here to do, I just got to go buy some more dye...

Does this stop the squeaking battery cover noise?

I suppose if you were to warp your cover from excess heat...but no, it really won't lol.

i did both of my covers and i wasnt able to get a dark read (little darker than the diamonds cover) so i ended up with 2 blacks lol anyone want to trade a stock cover for a black one?
