Thank you for sharing! Looks very good. I'm not familiar with PlastiDip. A quick Google gives me a site with many cans in all sorts of colours. What colour did you use? Black?

[s](I also saw PlastiDip is vinyl, not rubber, which is good as I'm allergic to latex/rubber.)[/s]
EDIT: This doesn't seem to be true...

I'd be very interested!

Its less glossy and subtly more grippy. You can hear the sound difference too when you run your fingers nails over the surface. It does seem to attract more dust though, but it also blows off pretty easily. I only did the back cover on mine, not the front frame, but that isn't a bad idea and looks pretty good. So far mine has lasted several days without any peeling, but I saw two tips on prep to make it last better : one is that you should clean off any dirt/oil on the surface with alcohol, the other is put the spray can in a pot with very warm water for a few minutes to warm up the rubber before spraying. It makes it spray better and less globby. Also the first coat I went light, but the 3 subsequent coats I went heavy.
Thank you for the extra info! Very helpful.
