Isolate the Back cover of the iPad

Hi,

I want to color anodize my iPad.

In order too do so, I need to isolate the back cover of the iPad from any non metal part (remove all electronics, plastic, buttons, Apple logo etc...) so that I can place it in an anodizing bath. As it needs to be completely immersed in a chemical bath to do the anodizing, I really need to get the aluminium part only!

Do you think it is do-able without any damage, if yes, how hard do you think it would be?

Thank You,

Nils

hi nils,

i think this should be no problem at all - if you look at the pictures you can see the screws and clips - it's from apple, so my first guess would always be: screws, clips and a lot of adhesive ;-)
