  • See the inner workings of the Galaxy S8 with this transparent mod!
    Its time to customise my first android phone, the Samsung Galaxy S8 which I previously restored a few weeks ago.
    The phone remains fully function after these mods were done, and the end result is amazing!

    If you want to let it look even cooler, paint the back cover with a really thin coat of paint, it's still clear, but it will not crack so easily when you drop it. Did it with a s9 and it really looks like an old gameboy now

    The camera bracket covers up about %85 of what was exposed by removing the plastic bracket from the wireless coil, %15 in this instance isn't much of a gain for that part of the mod. You can get clear plastic adhesive and apply it to the inside of the glass back to provide the same benefit as the colored adhesive that was removed.
