- isametry 4y agoCan you please give a product example?
- unsafecast 4y agoI think the iBooks were made like that.
- nier 4y agoThat’s correct and here’s a case modification where someone removed the white paint off the inside. https://www.applefritter.com/hacks/tronbook https://www.applefritter.com/hacks/tronbook
- awesomeMilou 4y agoWouldn't that also be to fake a specific finish as well? Kinda got to admit that a 3-4mm thick glossy finish where you can see the depth kinda looks cool.
- wkat4242 4y agoI always thought they did this for effect. It gave the white G3 iBooks a really nice crystal look and since. It was very special when they were pristine. However it also magnified any scratches on the surface (they would leave shadows on the white layer that made them much more noticeable) and I think that's why they dropped it for the G4 range. That just had plain white plastic.
