Mag was driving last week when here iTrip connection started shorting out… she discovered a loose cable. That could have been just a simple sugru fix, but look what happened instead !!
“Fortunately I had Sugru in my purse, …what modern girl doesn’t? I cut open the package with my multi-tool (also in my purse) and started the repair. Since I’d happened to have written a blog post earlier that morning about the fantastic phosphorescent hack featured on the Sugru blog, it occurred to me that black-on-black repairs have no drama. So I took some eyeshadow out of my purse and rubbed it into the Sugru surface, creating an iridescent finish. I love the look!
I had extra Sugru left over so I hacked the back of my iPhone case with a Tree of Life design to give it more grippiness, and once again iridescent-ized the finish. It’s a great way to sex up a monochromatic Sugru hack don’t you think?”
I think it looks fantastic Mag! How is it holding up to wear? Does the eyeshadow bind into the sugru surface?
Love it !!

It’s holding up beautifully!  Only the high points on the Tree of Life (or varicose vein if you prefer) have been mildly dulled after 6 days, but I’d expect that since the phone is either in my hand or in my hip pocket 18 hours a day!  The iridescence on the iTrip repair is pristine and stunning since it has no direct contact with fingers or pockets.
