UAG Monarch - Blacked Out or Carbon Fiber?

Personally, I like the carbon fiber look. I thought about purchasing one but $60 bucks for a case is too much for me.
 
I purchased the CF online and was disappointed with the case. I had a Monarch on my S8+ and it provides great drop protection and I really liked the leather accents so I purchased one for my S10+ in CF because the description stated leather accents so I thought the leather was just pressed and colored to look like CF. The CF look is actually just stickers and my stickers look like they will peel up soon. I kept the case because I needed a case but I will definitely not purchase a Monarch case for my next case.
 
+1 Carbon fiber. Giving the Defender a rest in favor of the Pelican Shield which has the carbon fiber look on the portion that is Dupont Kevlar.
