A $1.48 goes a long way... Black Battery Cover!

[LilRico]

So I tried it and mine didn't come out good

Unfortunately, the outside is black and looks like *** while the inside looks a nice blue. I guess the Navy blue wasn't meant for my phone.... I'm trying to think what it could be.... I let the water get to a boil, I then turned it down to a medium and added the RIT, then I put my cover in and stirred it for 15 min. I took it out and it still didn't look good, not even a part of blue....... Maybe I need to do it again, IDK, but now I got crap for a back cover .

maybe you had to much water, and didnt add enought Dyre, i pored the whole dye in the bag into a small pot and let it cook for about 10 minutes, and came out beautiful

Look Ive done more of these covers than anybody by now and why in the heck are u boiling the water in the first place. Just get it hot enough to barely see vapors. Like XWEAPONX said just hot enogh that u can only hold ur finger in for a sec or two. Like scalding running water from the tap. THEN stir in the color and let it dissolve all the way for about 5 minutes. Then check the cover every 5 minutes until the desired hue is ready. THEN rinse under cold water and rub with ur hands and ur done. As someone who knows chemistry u probably had the water too hot and broke down the dye. Also if the color looks black u probably used too much dye or cooked it too long. And make sure to wash it with soap and water first and rinse completely

I like the stock color. I prefered the all tell touch color as well. so i'm happy with this. I guess the grass is always greener? if it were black everyone would want some other color lol

I tried this and it came out pretty good. The only thing was that I thought I made the water to hot and it was going to warp the cover. but all went well
