I left mine on too simply because it fit fine with the case on. I was curious to know what cases do not allow rear protectors. I assume things like an incase slider and etc.
what cases did you guys use? i'm using an belkin vue, I'm a fan of the TPU material.

I have a matte skin on the back to prevent fingerprints and oil build up when holding the phone. Works great as it also gives you a better grip.
I put a cheap eBay protector on the back and could not be happier with it. I rocked my phone in a case since day one last June and about a week ago I switched to naked 
I put eBay protectors on the front and back so I could at least set it down worry free and seriously could not be happier. I'm debating taking the front off and leaving the back on (the bare glass is pure bliss). IMO, buy some cheap eBay protectors and slap one on the back.

Even this?:

It looks pretty legitimate--all glass. Wondering if anyone bought this before.
I'm not talking about the cheap plastic ones that ship directly from Hong Kong.
yes, even that. the font is ever so slightly wrong and the lens over the camera port will be plastic. i've bought 2 for ~$40 each only to find them to both be just poor quality ripoffs.
and at the price they charge for the ripoffs, you're better off just getting the back replaced at an apple store for only $29.
i'll photograph an ebay "OEM glass" back alongside a real one when i get home later tonight.
Oh that's really good to know. I was going to plunk down the cash for one this summer actually.
I'd love to see the comparison pics when you get them too. Appreciate it, thanks!

Thanks.
Ah, I see what you mean about the font. You're right, you can tell right away.
I'm guessing the fake one is on the right? Those tricksters on ebay must have taken picture of the real glass back, then flipped over the fake one for a pic of the other side.
Im using mirror screen protector for the back and Im sorta think it looks cheap. but still functional as a mirror so I will keep it that way
