I have the gold and love seeing it. It's not overly gold but just the right color of gold, if that makes sence. Since I always put my iPhones in a case I got two clear cases that offer protection and still let me see the gold.
The first one was a griffin clear and the other is a poetic clear. The griffin was way to clear and I got one scratch on it which was annoying when looking at it.
I really loved the poetic case. It is frosted but you can still see the gold. However, it was lifting my zagg screen protector at the edges so I stopped using it.
I am now using a sedio. It is garnet and really compliments the gold on the iPhone. Attached some photos. Sorry about the quality, only had an iPad 2 to take them with.
