Turn your iPhone 4/4S into an iPhone 5 with this $30 kit

The iPhone 5 isn’t expected to be announced until September 12, and even when it is, many of you will opt not to purchase one. If that identifies you, then this “iPhone 5 conversion mod kit” for iPhone 4 and 4S may be for you.

Available in both black and white, the kit is based on the next-gen metal iPhone backs circulating since May. The mod kit is currently shipping worldwide within 7 days for $30.

The sellers claim the kit uses “Camera Glass Lens of same Quality as Original iPhone Back Panel”, while the back plate itself includes “Glass-Like Acrylic” and aluminum.

The kit also comes with Phillips and Pentalobe screwdrivers. The iPhone 5 mod kit is available here and a short promo video of the final result is below.

Unfortunately we can’t vouch for quality, so buyer beware.
