This can be done at companies such as Perfect Etch. Take a look at a few examples they've found below.

It's good for business or office people that can show it off

Great looking work. I think it's an awesome idea to personalize your iPhone. Not sure why everyone is giving this a big deal for. My only concern is you won't see it in a case, and if you use it without a case it's a scratch magnet. And honestly if it comes time to sell it, just replace the back.

I'd rather get a case with a color photo put on it. What happens when you get tired of the laser etching?

I'd rather have a "case of beer" ! Sorry but the "Bling" was too overdone for me, and what happens when you want to sell it? Now you have just put yourself into a very specific corner....

I'd put the Andriod logo on it.

there's already heaps of Apple iPhone copied devices available that have the "Android" logo on it.
