I did everything and I screwed mine up. It warped like crazy and there are little bubbles on the top right and bottom corners.

Sucks! I'm looking for a new one now and it's hard!

Evidently people dont read and cant follow instructions very well. We have another victim of high heat warping their covers. And this time somebody actually made the back start to bubble lol. Oh well. If u cant follow simple instructions then thats what u get. A f'd up cover and time wasted. And to the guy who wanted red but got black its obvious that u used too much dye and cooked for too long. Its crazy and sad at the same time since myself, nautica, xweaponx,and others just said to not use high heat or too much dye just recently. Im sick of hearing people mess up such a simple task .

lol how am i supposed to know exactly the right ratio of colors to mix my card didnt endup completely black but it is pretty much black

but when i would take water out of the pot to see the color it looked red i guess i just cooked it for to long or something

btw it wasnt een in there for 15 min!!! its all good ill go get another one tomorrow

Are you masking, dyeing black, then dyeing the whole thing red? Let us know how it goes.

This is how i did mine.

1) boil the water
2) cut the top off of an empty plastic water bottle where it's big enough to put the cover in.
3) pour the boil water in the plastic water bottle and the dye color of your choice
4) put the cover in and let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
5) take out the cover and rinse with cold water and wipe it dry

Now it should be perfect with a lil' buffin' with a soft cloth.

Def wanting to try this. I went to a few Sprint stores, but none have had extra battery covers. Anyone have a spare one they want to sell me?
