I worked for apple as a developer for 2 years and Matte Finish is a vinyl/plastic that we use for our internal prototypes before mass production.

I’ve never used a case or screen protector. The plastic gets quite slippery at times, a matte finish would have been better in my opinion.

Matte coating looks cheap. I ordered my 3G(S) cannot wait to get. I will be selling my 3G.

I wanted the matte too.

Either apple does know that people don't really like the platic back or because the platic back offers certain advantages that other matterials can't.

Could it be that this is a unfinished backing? Not polished or coated?

Not all of us use cases, I’ve still yet to find a case that looks as nice as my Apple designed iPhone. Mine has been naked for almost a year not and still looks great.

Besides, we all keep them in cases anyway so it’s a bit of a redundant discussion, no?

Who cares? I never roll without a case anyway… white/black glossy/matte. Makes no difference.
