dont kill me for this one but how long did you put the cup in the microwave with room temprature water???
it says above that he heated in his stove for 4-5 minutes bro.
too long, mine exploded in the microwave...yeah i would just put it in for 20 second intervals and see where its at each time, you want it where you can see the bubble forming, but the water is not quite boiling
thats why dash said "STOVE", not microwave brotha.....4-5 minutes on the stove....
once you go dark you can't go light... so if your gonna do purple make sure you don't leave in for too long or your back will turn black or like a really dark shade of purple... so be CAREFUL!!!... and you can always dry and put in for longer if you don't get the color you want.. but the longer it's in the longer the color will stay.... so aim for a darker type of purple... only use RIT type die.. i and a lot of us use the powder type... see if you can aim for a light purple first and if you make a mistake... hey.. atleast its a dark purple lol... good luck... not hard.. just remember.. TOO HOT will warp your back case causing your stylus to fall out or just dumb stuff like it won't go on right.. yeah just read first intro to this thread it goes into instructions... and don't leave flame on the whole time.. on and off every 4-5 min... that's what i did... i also read somewhere you can do it in the microwave so check into that one too.. may be easier to view what color your trying to get to...
your stylus wont fall out it is magnetic and you can dye that too for the diamond users...... mine per instance is totallyy black with black stylus on my diamond and the black cover and many others on my pro.
ever ever since the first time in hte pot i used styrofoam cups
yes room temp asnd i throw it in their for 4 minutes than pour the powder in and stir fora minute or 2 with a straw and tahn drop the cover in
hahaha what mine lasts 4 minutes and doesnt swell or anything. is this an old strofoam cup that you found outside and was starting to decompose venum?
no troubles, just easier to clean up sicne you can dump outside than call it good and throw it in the recycle bin or trash can

Hey there, Well i just did this and WOW, it looks awesome. BTW, if you use a glass bowl, the dye does not stick to glass, put the bowl in the microwave for like 1 min and it does the job a pot and stove would do, i also had some old throw away chop sticks which were great for stirring and checking on the cover periodically. total process took me about 10 mins at best. and the glass bowl washed totally clean. and no dye came off when i buffed the cover in the final process, weird.... but color came out a dark amethyst color. woohoo
nice! liek a little darker version of your hair :smile:

EXACTLY, nothing better then color coordinating with your hair.
HAHAHA no dashy i remembered why it exploded after i posted that.
DO NOT PUT THE CUP BACK INTO THE MICROWAVE ONCE YOU PUT THE DYE IN IT!!

hahahahhahaha is that why you texted me and asked what takes that out lmao... rubbing alcohol does wonders

hehehe, thats what i said, and when i deside to change my hair color which i do ever couple of months ill make a new back cover to match LMAO
you have to remember that you can only go from light to dark and not a dark color to a light color...... you can get replacements for free most of the time ast the service center..... just walk in there without one on their and see if they have some or just tell them whats up and cut a deal that you will do one for them if they throw a couple your way....

Hey,
I just wanted to say thanks for the tips. It went off without a hitch. Now, instead of having the sprints snobby color for the battery door it's now a deep blue. Funny thing is I picked a royal blue dye instead of the navy blue dye. Not sure if it's been mentioned but it's a probably won't hurt to say it again if it already has been said. "Pick a very light color and start there because odds are it'll be darker than you first think," would be a good tip for noobs. Thanks again for the tips, i'm very happy with the new color.
