One of the main reasons I bought mine as well is the looks.
You might want to check out the cases made by Spigen. Particularly the Slim Armor cases. They follow the looks of the phone and come in the same colors as the phone.

I dabble in photography and have enough of lint-free lens wipes lying around. I spray a wipe with just a little bit of lens cleaning liquid and use that to wipe down the phone, then use a clean wipe to dry it out. It makes the screen sparkle and also removes oil smudges off the back and sides.

Not sure, haven't tried it.
You could also use glass wipes of the kind available in CVS or Lenscrafters. CVS has wipes under their own brand that work quite well for cleaning my reading glasses. They are not dripping wet but moist enough to do the job.
i use alcohol wipes on my white one , would imagine it would work for yours
Any suggestions for the back? I assumed when the OP said grey One X they meant the back anyways, cause I don't see any reason why the color of the device would change anything in relation to the screen...

One of the reviews say it's not real.
I dont think you're going to find one. real carbon fiber to make into a case would require some expensive tooling or someone to hand make each one. Your best bet might be to buy a sheet of carbon fiber and a cheap case and glue panels to the case.

That is pretty much what the BodyGuardz armor is, sheets of vinyl that look like CF that you apply to the body of the phone. I bet it's just 3M Di-NOC cut to fit the SR, in which case just get a 4"x8" sample from 3M for $8: http://store.carbonfibergear.com/3m-di-noc-carbon-fiber-vinyl/ and cut it yourself. More colours there too...
A *real* CF case will probably not ever be produced, for the reasons listed above. The only phone I know of that has a real one is the iPhone, since there are millions of them, and they are all the same, so the market is larger.

I bought a sheet off ebay like a year ago. It was a 1'x3' foot sheet for I think $12. I've cut it and put it on all kinds of stuff. If it's flat (like the battery door on the skyrocket) its really easy, just stick it on then trim the edges with a razor blade. If it's a curved surface then you'll need some heat (blow dryer) to conform it to the curves. And don't worry if you mess it up just peel it off, and try again.
One of the posters above posted a link to some from carbon fiber gear.com but you can get it on ebay too. The 3M brand is the best (imo) but I've seen glossy sheets before too, they look more "real" but I have no experience with them.

We're not actually making a real carbon fiber case. It's a vinyl sticker that looks like carbon fiber. You just stick it to the phone and trim the edges.

I got the Belkin bumper case. And HD Zagg shield (doesn't have the orange peel of regular zagg).
As someone that generally hates cases, I find the bumper gives me the illusion of no case..but protects the corners very well.
Keeps the phone nice and minimal looking still.
That looks very clean, I also hate cases this seems to be my next case

hi
Trident case on mine. Would like more color choices but nice case otherwise.

Rather than looks does anyone have any experience with dropping their phone with their respective cases? My life flashed before my eyes a few months ago when I saw my old iPhone 4S dropping from a bag I was carrying. But, the otterbox hybrid case I was using kept the phone safe and secure. While I don't want to go full derp and increase the thickness of the phone too much, I would love to increase the peace of mind with a good case that protects better than it looks.
Thx in advance.

I had my bumper off my phone while I was having ghost armor installed on it, the bumper was in my pocket and I tend to be one of those people who fiddles with things in their pocket while they wait.
I was just pushing on it lightly, when I realized that the hard plastic easily came apart from the rubber. I thought maybe I just pushed too hard, but when I started inspecting it around the sides, I realized that there were many spots where it would happen with very little force.
Is this supposed to happen or is it some sort of defect in my bumper?

I agree, it doesn't look anything like the lifeproof other than it is a case. The back on the lifeproof (both versions) is completely clear.
Also, although there is no top view released pictures of the Otterbox Preserver, it is obvious that the headphone seal it quite a bit different from the lifeproof.
I was set to plunk down some money for the lifeproof, but the clear back and the flimsy headphone seal drove me away. It will be interesting to see more info on this case. But if it is not released soon, it will be irrelevant.
So this is really just their Armor series re-branded.
