Play Video: iPhone Replacement Backs & adding NFC to iPhone

After seeing Dhani Sutanto mod his Oyster Card (London transit pass) into a ring, I got excited to try something similar with an CharlieCard (Boston's RFID transit pass). You can dissolve the card in acetone and then remove the RFID antenna and chip inside.
