Is it possible to change the actual covers on these - i.e. they are black or white, can i go from black to white?

Reason i ask is i have two. One is a works phone and the other is my own personal phone. I purchased mine a couple of weeks back before knowing i'd have another as a work phone. I could have a blackberry but i think they are for girls

You can get clip on covers if all you want to do is distinguish between them.

I get the feeling this thread was to show how uber cool you are with 2 iphones however.

I got a green clip on cover off dealsniper, was such a snug fit it looks part of it.. Trouble is with how clumsy I am, my iPhone has bounced a few times and now it's cracked
I've got it in a thicker cover now

It's very easy to pop the back cover off of the 3G and 3GS. There are two small screws at the bottom which need to be removed with a precision screwdriver, then you use a case opening tool to remove the back cover as it's a snap fitting.

Its kind of not as easy as that, everything is attached to the back casing, motherboard/camera/buttons etc. and about 11 tiny screws, its a proper ball ache to do. The back casing is glued to the centre chrome bit as well, you have to start by removing the bottom 2 screws you mentioned then prising the screen out.

You need a plunger tool to take the screen out as soon as you have removed the 2 screws on the bottom.

They are a ball
