I used to really like how the brushed aluminum backing would not allow for fingerprints and scratches...but from what I've heard the power cyrstal anti-glare pack really does a good job with it. So other than that, I like the look of the 3G a lot better. Especially "naked". The metal buttons, the better vibration, the loud speaker, the flushed jack, the prettier logo....
I can't wait for my CEO case to come in the mail so I can show it off naked while have a nice leather case for it instead.
what you say is true I hate when people complain about the plastic back, it's onebof the reasons why the price is subsidized, if you have a black phone get invisible shield, if it is white there is no reason to worry about scrarches
