    It should be easier to hold now with the matte back.

    Looks great. Should be more grippy too. I agree about the FCC stuff, it's too bad they couldn't hide it on the inside of the phone.

    I think its legitimate, and I agree with the decision to go matte! It looks nicer, will have a better grip and generally the plastic glossy back was too easily scratched and looked cheaper than this!
