How to Give Your iPhone 7 a New Flat Edge Design [Video]

Posted October 4, 2016 at 3:08pm by
Miss the flat edge design of the iPhone 4 and 5? With an industrial saw and belt sander you can give your iPhone 7 a new look.

I couldn't bear another iPhone with the same, slippery design...I just couldn't.
It was time to take matters into my own hands.


Warning: Don't try this at home unless you know what you're doing!

Take a look at the video below...

I think the Jet Black color of iPhone 7 is not slippy on hand at all. The other color, I agree it's more slippy.

I like the idea, it's just not polished so if course it doesn't look great at the end. Polish it and you finally have a better design.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The outcome looks atrocious
