What would you put on an iPhone engraving if it's possible?

[adamthurmond]

Hey everyone! I'm new to the forums, and I thought a cool thing to do to introduce myself would be to put down what I'd have engraved on an iPhone if engraving is possible. You can post your own ideas for engravings, too. I'll follow the guidelines for the iPod video engraving, which is a 27 character maximum across two lines. Here goes (all quotation marks excluded):

"Propert of: Jack Bauer"
"Los Angeles CTU"

or

"Who you gonna'
call?"

or

"Adam Thurmond"
"AKA Captain Drive-Thru"


That last one is my nickname at Starbucks, where I work. Of course, I might just put my name and email on it in case it's misplaced (as if someone would bring it back). We still don't know if engraving will be possible, but post your own ideas and please, keep it clean.

I like the engraving idea as a gift, but not for myself. Whenever I buy a tech gadget I'm thinking about resale value. If I have an iPhone and Apple releases an updated model I'll most likely buy the new model and sell the old one. Having it free from engraving will help with that.

or buying it for your girlfriend and breaking up a month later... trying to sell it with her name and corny phrases engraved on it doesnt usually fly to well.

honestly i was just happy to get it back from her :D

I've been engraving for 11yrs. now, and have been engraving the iPods ever since they've been out. I can even take your hand written signature and engrave it on the back.
But you've got the right idea. You don't want that nice new shiny phone getting swiped because it will just blend in and look like every other new iPhone being sold Fri. At least the thief would feel like a looser every time he used it with someone else's name on it!
I've done some engraving tests on the iPhone material they will be using and it going to look brilliant! I'll have examples up soon on iPhoneengraving.com soon but till then you can see examlples of my other work at iEngrave.net
Let me know what you think.

Pushing for Wed. But I've got a lot to do between now and then.
I live here in Atlanta so I've got all the Apple stores refering customers, which is good. I made them aluminum iPhone mock ups to show interested customers but wasn't able to take pictures so I''l make some more and take pictures and put them up on the web site.

I had a Red Nano before my iPhone, and my name was engraved on the back. After a while, I got tired of seeing "John Banks" every time I turned over the thing.

Welcome to EIC!
