iPhone 4 Now Has An Illuminated Apple Logo Thanks To iPatch

Here's something great to start the day off with. I bet by only looking the iPhone 4 above has put a big grin on your face like it did to me. Undoubtedly this is the most amazing looking iPhone 4 I've ever seen and it's as real as it can get. Who knew a glowing Apple logo would look so good on anything else other than Apple's MacBooks? The iPatch is a custom mod that lets you illuminate the back of the iPhone 4's Apple logo in a bright iconic white light of epicness.

How? It works much like how the MacBook lights up its rear facing Apple logo while the screen is turned on, the rear Apple logo on the iPhone 4 will remain evenly lit and will also illuminate when receiving a text message or when your alarm sounds off even when your screen is turned off. Battery life is said to remain unaffected by this mod since the source for the illumination is actually the front screen of the iPhone 4. iPatch hasn't yet made the mod available to the public quite yet and isn't planning on revealing us its deepest secretes on how exactly the mod takes place.

All we know is that there is a healthy list of Q&As on the iPatch product page to help you quench your excitement. iPatch plans to release its "Rear Apple Illumination Modification" and hopefully more info before mid October for an estimated £50 - £100, respectively. Other modifications include different colored Apple logo illuminations and different colored back glass plates. 

Smartsnap Connects Smart Cover To First Gen iPad

We've seen a few DIY mods before like this one, which didn't look all too sleek and low-profile as Smartfix's Smartsnap. The $20 Smartsnap is a connection kit for the first gen iPad allowing you to use Apple's Smart Cover. The thing is though, the first gen iPad does not have the iPad 2's sleep/wake magnetic functionality because it does not have any built-in sensor magnets. The good news is that the Smartsnap is a low-profile magnetic strip that sticks to the side of your first gen iPad and perfectly aligns the Smart Cover. There is very limited information as whether the Smartsnap also adds a magnetic strip to keep the Smart Cover closed onto the first gen iPad. If you're interested, head on over to Smartfix's website for more.

Smart Cover Mod For iPad

Still stuck with the original iPad but you just wished you could use that Smart Cover? A simple mod that requires a little bit of gluing a few magnets to the side of your iPad will make your wish come true. The downsides to this are that your iPad will not automatically lock and unlock by the Smart Cover since only the iPad 2 had built-in magnets that act as a sensor. 

Change Your iPhone 4's Glass Back With Metal

Changing the back glass cover of your iPhone 4 isn't as hard as you would think, in fact it's as easy as putting on an Apple Bumper case. All you need to do in order to replace the back glass housing of your iPhone 4 is to simply remove the two little screws located in between the speaker and mic, and then you just slide the back cover upwards a bit and your done. These metal back covers are extremely cheap at $13 and would be a great idea to have instead of having to worry about glass shattering. Wired reports that this will no affect your signal in anyway, are you sold yet? You can find these metal covers along with glass replacements on eBay or directly from cnn.cn. Head over to the source link for a quick little how-to.
