Question Matte or Shine? {New Image}
This thread would have been started sooner rather than later by someone so I figured I would kick it off. Which do you prefer, matte or shine?

I have to go with matte too. I would think it would help hide scratches too.

The matte looks nicer, plus less scratches, more grip, etc. etc.

I like the shine of the 3G, but I would probably prefer matte since it will give you more gripe and show less scratches.

I was thinking, some of the matte cases currently out for the 3G scratch really easily... hopefully this will not be the case for this.

Matte. I think the fingerprints on shiny black iPhones make it look dirty... all the time.
