I was wondering if there is in existence somewhere a fully matte back cover for the iPhone 4? The kind that you have to slide in and replace the stock glass one on your phone. If anyone has ever seen or used the Sprint HTC Touch should know what I'm talking about. I think that would be a hot ticket item bc it would give the user a pretty good grip and a decent amount of protection besides, who doesn't like the feel of a matte finish? lol Thanks

I've been looking for this, too. I'm sure it's only a matter of time, but I'm pretty surprised that we've seen wood, leather, metal and tons of printed plastic backs and still no matte! Come on, China! :p

Why would you wanna do that? Just get the Ultra Matte from SGP or something.

Because the whole point of having a matte back is so that the glass back can be preserved and more importantly to have an actual matte padding/feel on your phone. If I understand correctly the sgp product you mentioned is a film and not an actually back cover replacement. Here is a link to what I'm talking about:

And yes china should have them on the production lines lol
