Well everyone has there opinions, but as far as i can see this is the only real* option for a carbon fiber case. Iv only had it for a few days but every where i go people ask about it. All my car buddies are very envious 
Sorry for the delay on the inside pics. Ill have them up asap. But i can say its a consistent thickness, has mounting tabs (no tape), and is clear coated gloss back.

So there are 'tabs' that hold the case on? Was hoping so, the 'friction' crap that the CarbonCrap guys are using is a joke. What good is a case if it won't stay on.
Yes, real tabs. No disrespect to Carbon Case. Im sure its very hard to make carbon fiber parts and im sure he will get there one day. But as of right not Infinity Carbon has it together.
A Carbon Kevlar case would be cool. Make'n me think about it too. Check out there Face book page (If you have one). They have done a lot of Hybrid stuff.

Let us know the response. A blue one would be SWEET!
reply from infinitycarbon:
We are able to make the Droid cases using carbon/Kevlar for $139.95. Kevlar is much more difficult to work with and that is the reason for the price difference. We have yellow/black, orange/black, and blue/black in stock and we can order red/black. The weave pattern is similar to the twill weave of our carbon products but it is slightly different and commonly referred to as “Charlie Brown” or “Zig Zag”. I have attached some pictures of parts we’ve made from Kevlar to show the difference. Kevlar is very difficult to cut and as a result the edges can sometimes appear not quite as smooth and “perfect” as a carbon part. This is visible in the apple cutout on the laptop pic attached and although very slight I want you to be aware of this possibility.
In terms of time, if will take approximately 2 weeks to complete your case. If you want to go with red/black, we will need to order the material and that will add an additional 2 weeks or so depending on shipping.
If you would like to order one I will send you an invoice requesting payment via paypal. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

what material/color did you get?
I ordered a CF case with a Florida Gators logo on the back. Maybe I should have done that one in blue Kevlar?????
I'm not so sure I like the notches on the corners in the Kevlar actually, so I'll stick with CF.

To be honest not really. They use the same materials we do at double the cost nearly. Right now we are focused on the elimination cases. I know everybody is giving us crap for the lead time and issues, but at the same time remember. If we only did the slideout I could have easily had these done in no time.
We are keeping these cases to an affordable amount. This case is a good finish, but at the same time being a cf critic. I can see flaws most wouldnt.

They look like reflections.
The one thing that scares me about this case is the speaker cutout. From first hand experience on these that long hole in the back makes the sides brittle when connecting the bottom portion of the phone. (hence another reason we value the input of you guys)
