Default Agent 18 Case Mod

So, I read in a post that it would be a good idea to cut out the tree logo on the back of the Agent 18 iPhone case, so you can see the Apple Logo behind it, and it worked out pretty good! I am at work right now, i work at The Home Depot, so i had all of the tools available to me, but i can't post pictures until I get home tonight. All you need is a Dremel tool, a drill bit, a grinding wheel, some loose sandpaper ( i used 120 grit and 220 grit to grind and then smooth the edges), and a black sharpie to darken the cutout when you are done! It only took 30 minutes, and I might do another one that i spend more time on, but overall it came out great! Again, I will post photos on this post when I get home tonight. Thanks for the great idea kylegod!

Ok, here are the photos of the mod. Again, this was my first attempt, and the next one should come out a lot cleaner. Along with the second post to follow shortly in the future, i will include step by step photo instructions, if anyone is interested.

Yeah, this was fun to do, since i did it at work, (The Home Depot), i had a bunch of people watching me. It was like doing a big Dremel Demo. I cant wait to do the next one!

You know, i might try to do a circle on the next one... it would be even easier if i used a hole saw.... do you know if the clear one has a tree logo on it or is that just for the eco shield? if it doesnt, it will come out a lot cleaner with a circle mod. It kinda reminds me of the video shield for the 5g ipod i have. it has a little smooth spot where the apple logo is so you can see it clearly instead of the rough design that they put on the rest of the unit.

Thats really sweet! It would be even more cool if you could cut it out perfectly like the apple logo so thats the ONLY part that you see. I LOVE the idea though, awesome work!!
