Like all Apple products, the iPhone is known for its sleek, simple design and is only available in black and white. But with the continued popularity of the device, a lot of iPhone owners are looking for ways to set themselves apart from the crowd. Earlier this week the New York Times explored some of the ways people have found to do that. Many of them were discovered by people who had accidentally broken the glass casing on their own iPhones and after discovering how easy it was to replace, started looking for creative ways to do so while making a little money.

Some companies will simply paint your iPhone for you while others actually replace the casing. Zeetron, a Brooklyn based company, will either make the switch for you or sell you a kit with everything you need to switch the casing of your iPhone to green, yellow, silver or metallic blue, among others. iFixit, a website whose primary business is repairs, offers replacement back panels that include a mirror and a clear sheet which makes the phones inner workings visible. If you want a wood backing to your phone, Material6, based in Tucker, Georgia, offers them handmade in a choice of woods, including beautiful engraved options. Colorware can modify your device so that the apple logo on the back glows when the phone is in use.

Of course, a simple internet search will reveal a million more ways to modify your iPhone. There are ways to attach SLR camera lenses to the phone’s existing camera and create a solar powered iPhone charger. There are even people out there who have figured out how to get their iPhones to control robots, play video games and even drive cars remotely. Of course, that is besides the millions of different cases, easels and mounts available.

It’s important to remember however, that modifying your iPhone can be a bit risky. The more you play with the iPhone’s hardware, the more likely you are to void the warranty. That could be pretty frustrating if something goes wrong while you’re tinkering.
