Today Samsung announced two new colors for its Galaxy Note 5 that look pretty nice. But one Reddit user has one-upped Samsung by creating a clear backside for his Note 5.
Reddit user Skarface08 recently posted a photo of his Galaxy Note 5 with a clear rear cover that allows you to see the insides of the device. The process of making this clear back cover actually sounds a bit easier than you might think: Skarface08 says that he used a heat gun and suction cup to pry the back plate off, then took a razor blade to one side to take off all of the colored film. He then reattached the back cover and voila, a clear backside that still has the Samsung and Galaxy Note 5 branding.
Obviously this isn’t something that Samsung is going to approve of, but I must say that it looks pretty darn cool. And if you ever decided that this clear back is no longer awesome — which seems unlikely — you might be able to buy a replacement back cover online and then put it on your phone.
If you’d like to see Skarface08 removing the colored film from his Note 5’s back cover, you can check out a brief video right here. And hey, if you’re near Tulsa, maybe you can hit him up and have him do the same thing to your Note 5.
