The Caesarstone have this patterned back-splash call braids. Its Ceesarstone material, all one piece, so minimal maintenance. I was thinking of using this but unfortunately it is very expensive and at that time, it was not available in US yet

There's quite a few good tile places. I've been looking for a lot of tiles for my new home and here are some tile shop I've been visited.
Arizona Tile. http://www.arizonatile.com/ Nice showroom, good price, very friendly staff, give out free samples but the selections are not very large.
Dale Tile. http://www.daltile.com/ Good showroom, give out free samples, showroom doesn't have all the selection shown in the internet site, does not sell to customer directly.
Bedrosians Tiles. http://www.bedrosians.com/ Very nice showrooms, good prices, good services, but does not give out free samples.
Note: Arizona Tile, Dale Tile, and Bedrosians are used by the IP in all their homes for both standard and optional tiles.
Walker Zanger. http://www.walkerzanger.com/ Awesome showroom, incredible selections, located on Edinger next to Columbus Square in Tustin. It's expensive but you might find the same tile online or somewhere else cheaper. Give free samples.

How do you install those backsplashes that don't require grout? Is that just like when you put granite slabs as the backsplash?

apparently there is an adhesive on it.. so you just cut with a wet saw and stick away.
I assume you are asking about back splash for the kitchen since you don't want grout for maintenance issues. Another alternative is using larger piece of tile like 12x24, using dark color grout, and install them with butt-joint. This way there's less grout line and the grout line is very small.
This Porcelanosa tile actually is a large 12x18 or 12x35 tile and makes to looks like mosaic of small 2"x2" tile. This is more of for bathroom but it will work for just anywhere elese. If you use this as kitchen back splash, it will have minimal grout lines and very easy to maintain.
