Oh yeah baby. Check it. I’ve sold the Neocell 3GS and I’ve ordered an iPhone 4 32GB from AT&T. I ordered it yesterday, 08/25/2010 and according to FedEX, it’ll be delivered tomorrow, 08/27/2010! Wow, that is some fast *** delivery.

I had to order it online from AT&T instead of heading down to pick one up because all places are sold out of iPhone 4 32GB in Tampa, FL. Months after the iPhone 4 debuted, it’s still in such high demand that they’re still are on backorder. The Apple Store here in Tampa gets iPhone 4′s in almost every day, but not many 32GBs and you have to stand in line for over an hour. An Apple store employee told me wait times have been about two to three hours, and you have to come in first thing in the morning. I ain’t standin’ in line at 8 or 9 in the morning every day and wait to see if there’s even any 32GB iPhones.

I avoided ordering from apple.com or from the Apple store because I’ve read report after report of people ordering from Apple and having it take two to three weeks to ship, where AT&T only takes 4 to 5 business days on average. In my case, it may only be 3 days!

So I’m crazy excited about getting an iPhone 4, but it won’t instantly become the “Neocell 4″. Just like when I designed the Neocell 2G and Neocell 3GS, this will just be an iPhone 4 until I customize it with 24K gold, baby.

I’ve been working on the design. I’ve been trying to incorporate wood into the design like I did with the Neocell 2G and Neocell 3GS. This time I want the chrome Apple logo to show like it did with the Neocell 2G’s design. With the current design I’m planning, I don’t have any options for wood plating. I really want gold plating, but the new design of the iPhone 4 changes things.

So here’s what the current design is set to look like. With the image, I’ve created it so that it looks like gold plating with white vinyl text (“Neocell 4″) and have an Invisible Shield over it all (which I rendered the look into the image). I’m going with a dragon design that encompasses the chrome Apple logo. I chose to order a black iPhone so that it would have a good contrast with the gold.

Something new I’ll be adding will be vinyl text that says “Neocell 4″. I think this’ll be a great addiction because this design isn’t really as noticeable compared to the other two designs, and with the lack of wood, this vinyl text will really make “The Neocell” look all that much more professional and unique. Normally, the vinyl text would get messed up and would fall apart within a few days or weeks, but because the Invisible Shield will already be on there to protect the 24K gold, it’ll also protect the vinyl.

The one problem is with the top part of the gold design blocking the LED flash of the camera. So I plan to modify the gold so that, as you can see in the image, the LED flash will be right neatly aligned to the gold design but completely unblocked.

It’ll take a few weeks to get the design done. Once I get the gold plating installed, it’ll officially become the “Neocell 4″ and I’ll post images. I can’t wait.

Peace, JbB
