Hi all,
For those of you who've been wondering "YES" you can engrave onto the back of the new 3G iPhone. I just did 4 new units for a customer - pretty nervous on the first one but it turned out great. I'm using a 45watt Helix at the moment as my laser is in for a service, went with settings of 20% speed and 10 % power, probably could have come down on the power slightly, I also ran the job slowly as the engraving had some really fine lines in it. The engraving came out almost perfectly white even though the iPhone has a plastic back. The engraving included a signature, line of text and a company logo along with a serial number all in a area of 40mm by 40mm. I took pics but haven't taken them off the camera yet, I'll add them as soon as I do. I used the plastic iPhone holder that is in the box as the jig, it works like a dream.
Anyway don't say no if somebody brings you one, it'll engrave.
