I'm going to replace the back cover of my Galaxy S3. I'm looking at either a brushed aluminum back plate, or a pleather back. I don't like to use phone cases, by the way.
Brushed aluminum pros: Feels extremely premium. Could protect the phone pretty well.
Cons: The metal might interfere with the cellphone signals. Might scratch easily. Metal is not grippy.
Pleather pros: Feels more premium than Samsung's glossy plastic, but not as premium as aluminum. Won't scratch as easily. More grippy than plastic or metal.
Cons: Won't protect the phone as well as aluminum. Might make my hand sweaty in hot weather.
I heard that aluminum phones scratch really easily, is this true? I'm not sure what to get! Opinions? What would be best for a smartphone? Samsung is making some Galaxy devices with faux-leather backs... maybe there's a good reason for that?
