Well, this case isn't 100% clear, but it is on the back. On the front it covers the entire screen and you can still use it wile the screen us covered. The front is chrome/silver colored and is quite nice. I honestly think this is the best case (though I don't have it, it seems like an excellent idea and looks great). I don't know if they plan on making a 3G case though. I'm hoping they do though! I don't have one right now because I found this site after the 3G was announced.

I know what you mean by wanting to see the beauty of the design because I am the same way. I only buy things that look good physically, so I hate having to cover the design when it was meant to be seen. Its like a super model always wearing multiple layers of clothes to cover herself up so you can't see her body. What's the point??
