....is the backing gold-colored? Or made from actual gold?

Neither contains any actual gold.

(49,445 posts)4. So, that's the big thing, huh?
If it was real gold, it would be newsworthy.
I can't believe the media buzz over what is, essentially, one of the oldest options of products sold: color.
Didn't iPhone users nearly kill themselves trying to get a black iPhone a few years ago?

Samsung followed using the same process.
Shocker.

however, I just bought an S4. I don't understand why Samsung had to copy this, too- they are currently making the better phone.
