Anybody found this case on eBay? It is a carbon fiber snap-on case (unlike the DRO Concepts CF slide case) with the Porsche logo. They have Porsche, Ferrari, AMG and several others. Not sure what I think? Even though I am a Porsche enthusiast I am not sure how I would feel afetr a month with the logo on my phone? The AMG one looks muted and may be more tolerable long term. I will in include a pic below.

Not sure these are endorsed by the manufacturers so if you want one I suggest you act fast!

from my understanding Carbon and RF do not mix

Carbon fiber acts as to dissipate RF and convert it into heat. Thus using a carbon shell on a device that is meant to communicate on RF is not ideal. Stealth Jets use Carbon fiber on the entire body of the jet to become invisible, along with a few other tricks.

I only talk about this because I also wanted a CF shell but I really can't afford any signal loss.

lol there is no signal loss everyone keeps assuming there is but I can tell you now with my carbon fiber case its 4 layers of CF and not a bit of signal loss. You are mis-informed
 
He's not.

That in this particular case there's no clear consequent of this is an other thing, but he's right that CF and RF don't go together well...
