I saw Golden Shellback on Tekzilla (video link via Engadget) over the weekend and still don’t believe it. How can it be true? One vacuum applied coating and my iPhone will forever be safe from water damage, inside and out?

They claim to have had gadgets working fully immersed for days on end, but do say that it’s a one-way process: the coating don’t come off.

Though not released to the public yet, I believe Partick Norton quoted the application price as being somewhere around $75 but would depend on the size of the gadget.

Gizmodo has a hands-on, but still… Seems like magic, doesn’t it?

Would you trust it with your iPhone?

iPhone Custom is now offering to coat your iPhone in high quality TiAIN for $299.

And while $299 might sound expensive (same price as a brand new iPod Touch 8GB!), the end result looks impressive enough to tempt higher-end customers and early adapters, longing for a return of the jealous stares they got when flashing their iPhone on Day One.

Purchasing is simple: just eject your SIM, place your iPhone in a pre-labelled shipper, and send it off to iPhone Custom for your choice of black or gold glossy logo and bezel.

The process is also available for iPod Touch and 3G iPod Nano.
