Hi Jaseman - its a fair and valid question! I love the gold, and the front of the phone looks glorious. The reason I got the black skin is two reasons; firstly, I love carbon fibre, and secondly, I just wanted to see how they looked. I ideally would love a gold effect carbon fibre to go with the gold phone, and I am asking Dbrand if they will be doing one as they do it in several colours. Black and gold I thought looked pretty smart though. The shop I got my S6 Edge from only had them in black and gold; I would have gone for the green one but couldn't wait for it!
