Sgp Skin Guard/zagg Screen/bumper Combo

Nooo! Seriously, if it's an inconvenience don't even think about it! I'll just edit the color of the bumper in Photoshop on my own
I was just kidding, I was thinking about getting the phone out of my wifes hands
I posted this in another SGP thread, but I thought it was relevant here too. I'm using the SGP Ultra Crystal screen protector on the front.
I got my white leather and black carbon fiber weave SGP Sking Guard backs in today. Overall, I really like them. I didn't realize how thick they were though! Should be very good protection for the back of the device. I've included pictures below of each with my Black Apple Bumper installed. There is no issue at all with interference from the Bumper. Both textures feel really authentic. The carbon fiber really feels like carbon fiber (and may really be, I can't tell), as does the leather.
One thing I can tell is that the white leather, although it looks really good on the phone now, is going to get VERY dirty. The texture just feels like it's going to collect all the dirt that comes into contact with it.
Also, the cut outs are perfect, but they are pretty close. I don't like how tight the camera and flash cut-out is, because if it's off even just slightly (like my carbon one is), it will throw off the alignment of the cut out for the Apple logo.
**Also, the white leather DOES have the issue where the camera flash interferes with picture taking. The black carbon does not. I assume it's because the white color is more reflective of the flash's light.

That carbon back with the bumper looks great.
Cleaning the White Leather Skin
Do you think you could use something like a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to clean the white leather skin? I read on their website that it cleans real leather, so it seems like it might do the job.
Has your wife's white one gotten dirty yet, and if so, how have you cleaned it? I just ordered one, and that's my only concern with the white leather skin. Otherwise, I'm really excited for it to get here!

I recc motogfx's carbon fiber vinyl back (http://www.etsy.com/shop/motogfx) and lucky lab's side wrap (http://www.etsy.com/listing/52539582/iphone-4-spectra-wrap-decals-many-colors).
Both are relatively easy to install, and leave room for error. The carbon backing can be gently pried up at corners with a fingernail and smoothed out for air bubbles. The lucky labs antennae decal comes in sets of 3: Even though the wraps aren't reuse-able, you have 3 shots to get it just right.
But I'm still waiting on Power Support's anti-glare film to finish off my "invisible" protection.
