Make the iPhone 3G "feel" like G1

[gotem3303]

Hey I was wondering if there is a product out there that you could replace the back of the iphone (the shiny black/white backing) with a back that has a soft-touch coating, like what is on the G1. I felt my friend's today and I LOVE that feeling. I love the look of the iphone back but the fingerprints suck, absolutely hate them. I see on ebay they sell replacement backings in different colors and they are exact replicas of the origianl apple ones. Wondering if theres something like that.

I know that there is the incase power slider, and that is the exact backing I would love. Just wondering if there are any other cases or if they actually sell backings that feel like that?

I suggest you just buy a case to change the feel of it. I bought a polycarbonate iPhone case, it isn't shiny and slippery like the 3G backing is. While it doesn't feel like the G1 it definitely won't slip out of my hands.

Thanks for the replies guys. I think the type of finish I want is a matte finish. I believe thats what the back of the G1 is.

I went with the Incipio Feather. Looks like it will be exactly what Im looking for, something that is there but adds the least weight and bulk as possible while giving me that matte finish.

Dont get the feather its not matte.

Here are some matte cases I personally like :

Incase Slider

Griffin Wave

Griffin Clarifi (Partially)

The website and all the reviews ive seen of the feather say that it has a soft touch matte finish
