I am looking for a nice carbon back that works with the bumper. Prefer one that shows the Apple logo. Anybody found one yet?
 
Check out the Reveal Etch. It's like a bumper with a carbon fiber print back on it. Doesn't show the apple logo though.
 
phantomskinz dot com has very nice skins, including metallic as well as carbon fiber.
 
I just got these in. Ordered two. They fit very well and they don't scratch easily. Got to me in Dallas from Oregon in 3 days.

I just ordered a real carbon fiber case. I think the real stuff is way cooler that a vinyl sheet that has a carbon fiber pater printed on it.
 
I also got the carbon look stick on from eBay via the UK.
I got them in 4 days delivered in my mail in CA.
I bought 2 in case I screwed it up.

It is a thick vinyl material with embossed carbon design. It's not just a printed pattern.
It works great and looks great with the bumper.
The bumper covers up the edges so it looks even better. It has the chrome apple logo show through the cutout. Camera cutouts are perfect and no flash interference. If you want the carbon back for good price this is it.
 
This is the case I ordered.

They say it will take a few weeks to get it. I have got a buddy that has one of these for his 3gs and it is very nice. They are kinda expensive but I was able to sell my 3g for $100 so I figure the case was almost free.


That looks very nice. Would you posts some pictures and your impressions once it has arrived and you've used it for a few days?

Thanks.
 
Doesn't "real" carbon fiber interfere with the signal?

nope
real carbon fiber doesn't interfere with cell signal in any way

the black leather skin on this site caught my eye. I was interested in how it'd look with a white bumper, so I did some photoshopping (gimping actually, dont have real photoshop). I threw it together quickly so it looks pretty sloppy

it looks pretty nice

That actually looks pretty nice. Dammit now I might have to get it.
 
I can't post pics yet but let my try and find way to get URL of mine with black bumper and the eBay carbon back from the UK.
It looks great.
