Smartphone and Tech Object Mods for the 1%
Probably the less we report on this the less it will occur.
Rain,
Why is the common aesthetic style of the people who pay for these types of customizations always Gold, Crystal, Marble, Diamonds and The Lord Of The Rings prop? And why do this on an item that is inevitably obsolete? Actually, maybe seeing the level of cost and craftmanship put into these items is a motivator to go against the continuos product launches and iterations of the same object with minimal increments in improvements. My Nokia 3310 and old iPhone 4S still work, only the software and battery life makes them obsolete. I am genuinely impressed with the level of craftmanship on those engraved iWatches. Maybe Apple should offer this and give them a longer life like the analogue watches they are competing with?
For the price tag the website is garbage
I love stuff like this. I was in an eye doctor's office once back in the early aughts. I saw a magazine sitting there and decided to look through it. I believe it was the Robb Report. I never knew there was so much I would never know. Its fun to see what people come up with using the fanciest materials.
Some of these are objectively awful but love the irreverence of modding these devices.
