I just received the Spigen Ultra Crystal Mix.
It comes in three pieces for the back. The protecto for the metal part is matte, and for the glass parts it Crystal. Front is crystal.
Looks Great as I have it on my iPhone 5

Can you post a pic of the matte back
 
I can't because I don't have another phone to the pic of the back of my phone.
Maybe when someone else gets home I can.

Here are a couple pics of the product while I am still waiting for a camera.
And no, a mirror pic would be stupid and wouldn't help. Actually, the real pic probably won't help either although I will post it as soon as I can, because it's almost totally invisible.
Anyway, as I said before, the back comes in three pieces as you can see. The part that goes over the metal part is matte, and the two other separate pieces go on the glass part which I did not see any need for. I also didn't use/need the front protector.

These are ok, but leave bubbles around the lettering and apple logo, and leave a gap around the edges (it doesn't sit flush with the edges, there is a 1-2mm gap).
 
I've tried 3 times now to upload the pics and they won't go! HHHHHHHH
But yes, there is a very very small gap on both the top and the bottom where the screen meets the glass. It's not bothersome though.
 
I got spigen matte back protector from the ultra mix on my slate and I managed to get the air bubbles around the apple and iPhone logo. Looks great
 
Bumping this thread. It would be great if anyone had photos to share. I just bought these from Ebay. Waiting for them to ship. I only plan on using the middle section.

I bought a glossy set from Spigen only to realize after I put it on that the back became shiny. And I don't want to spend 8 bucks for a single back protector from Spigen that I could mess up applying.
 
Here is the phantom skins matte back on my space gray... I used this for years on my 4S and I've loved it, I love it on the 5s as well, I hate fingerprints, so the matte is great!

Sorry it's not the best pic from my iPad... And the black symbol is just a vinyl sticker over the matte protector.

Here is my space gray with matte skin. I like the look of matte on the metal finish. This skin is by best skins ever. Big fan of their products. I used to be all about phantomskinz, but now I recommend best skins ever.:)

I just looked them up. Great price too. I'll have a try.
 
I just got my SGP Crystal screen and back protectors for my Space Gray phone.

Can hardly tell there's protectors on there. Here are some pics

Hmm. I think Spigen has the better idea. Glossy protectors for the top and bottom of the back, and matte for the center. Looks like yours gives the matte look for the whole back. Thanks for sharing the pic!

Well that's the idea since it's a single matte skin.

I've used BSE for years, definitely a solid company.

Yes it is. I used to be all about phantom skins, but getting cheap on their products. It's not bad, but bestskinsever is better IMO.

Where'd you get the decal?
