Element case has a backplate that attaches to the OEM glass back, I think something like that would be better than replacing your glass back with another glass back. Would not scratch and damage as easy and your OEM plate is in place when you want to go back to it and is being protected while you dont want it seen.
 
Both of these 2 are still glass back, they just look like Carbon Fiber. Why go from glass to glass?

i dont get what you're saying but what does glass have to do with it. im going for the carbon fiber look

half the price of the 4s. i can get a full color conversion for that price
 
I tried one of these on my white iphone 4 in white and I have to say it looks terrible. I guess if I had gone white carbon fiber I would have liked it but all in all i'd say you have to go with the same color your phone is or it looks aweful.
 
Ended up weighting mine - its twice the weight of the OEM black back..

Still on the lookout for a proper decent replacement CF back, and not just a skin..

Can you post a link to the one you bought?

They only have one CF backplate
 
carbon fibers best with bright colors but im getting a blue mirror one instead. my case is silver and not blue so plans changed
