Is iPhone 4 “Glassgate” real?

The glass back looks cool and all, but I think on the next model they need to make it out of something more durable; I don’t know, carbon fiber, maybe? Just as long as it didn’t interfere with the signal. And they should use Corning Gorilla Glass for the front. Just some ideas…

I was going to post something very similar as Analog Spirit:

Replacement backs in alternative materials would be pretty easy for even a third party to do: carbon fiber(!), graphite, metal (if it is made to not touch the antenna), and especially wood. No, it wouldn’t have an apple logo, but you already know it’s an iPhone, so no big.

Surprised I haven’t even seen these around yet.

After a fit of face-palm time, I do see there are some available (none looked particularly appealing in my initial search), it is obvious why there aren’t widespread: it would void your warranty.(Unless you cleanly and sneakily put the original back on.)

It seems like folks are coming up with any method to take down Apple & the iPhone. Too bad it won’t work. Lol.
