Imagine you could get rid of the glass back and replace it with the material of your choice

Definitely carbon fiber. I hope some day we will see such a device.

Antimatter, more precise iPhone antimatter. So if you touch with your back the back of an iPhone device to NFC beam (if any iphone will ever will have NFC) both phones explode!

Yea, I wish they did replace the glass back before Production hits, as that one reviewer dropped his (I know, dropping will still break Gorilla Glass), but I read Phil here and another review post up the back scratches pretty easy. WTF?? I thought that was the PURPOSE of Gorilla Glass, so as to NOT get scratches?!?!? I understand dropping it, well your on your own there depending if it's a 5 inch drop on your lap or 3 feet+ to the floor... We know Gorilla Glass or not, dropping it will do damage.

I hope they change the back, but I'm sure now it's too late

Unicorn horns so iPhone users no longer have anything to brag about.

Velvet, with an imprint of Elvis.

Oak with brass edge reinforcement and embellishments with a little leather here and there, as all things technological should be, of course.

I like the back texture of the Gnex. Those inverse pyramids are great to caress.

I also like the way the back of Nexus 4 looks like. However, if I had to change it, I'd think about

• Nexus Q-like matte finish with the x of nexus doing disco LEDs, or
• GNex-like thin plastic with patterns,

transparent aluminum, transparisteel, or dragon bones and scales

 

[jcsugrue]

Black anodized aluminum.

Back: Mithril
Front: Diamond
Processor: Beating heart of a centaur
Sparkly effect on the back: Dust from grounded unicorn's horn

This will make it truly magical

Transparisteel would be awesome for both the front and back

Ummm....Something that comes off and reveals a removable battery??

 

[tranceformer978]

How about just adding some screw holes and remove any glue to make the glass easily replaceable by the end user?
