a clear back cover would look cool exposing the yellow. anyone know if one exists?
i know it wont be all clear because of the antenna, but i think it would look cool.
I was thinking the exact same thing. I would buy one.

Sounds like an awesome idea! I would be interested.
This would be incredibly cool. I was just thinking about the need for a carbon fiber back... Especially since my aria is starting to creak quite a bit... The case design lends itself so well to customizing it seems...

I would love to see a clear battery cover with the antenna traces visible.
i would love to have one to but do they even sell different color covers of the phone though???

Which color do you like the most for the E4gt? I personally have a black one, but i like the white better. Anyone want to trade?
Black doesn't draw away from the screen
I went black and never looked back.

I have a case (black) but I think I might buy a zagg body cover so I can actually see the phone.... Not a black case.... Lol

as they say....once you go black... you'll never go back...
I have a black but I would of got a white if it was available back in October. Plus, white ones usually sell for more used. Black is boring. I would of got a pink one for my wife if they had one too. I think orange would have been cool.

I want a Newports green one with black stripes.
I have the black, and I love it. But if the white was out when I got mine, I definitely would have got that one.
Yeah.. i would be nice if they did a couple colors. Its just a plastic casing, couldn't be to expensive to do.
I want a blue and red one!
i actaully like the white. to me it makes the screen seem bigger. other than that, id take the black. not really into multi colored phones but thats just me
Still waiting for someone to trade me a white one ... Does anyone know how easy it would be to replace the face if a white oem came available?
I would love a white one but currently have the black one.
My white one seems to get a lot of compliments and "What kind of phone is THAT" type questions (usually from iphone users ^_^). In any event, I like it.
I like the white one alot, but really wish we could get the RAZR treatment. That kevlar is cool.
Black phone with a dark theme makes the phone look all stealth like

How easy does the silver paint chip/wear off? I was thinking about going white over black, but didn't know if the white will start looking worn faster.
I just got my white e4gt 2 weeks ago so I can't really comment on how the paint will hold up but it seems like it will be just fine. I do know I like the look a whole lot better then my black one and the smooth back feels nicer too so I would definitely recommend it
Had mine for about 5 months now and doesn't show any wear yet. Still happy with it, have the Best Buy Black Tie program and haven't used it once!
The paint does not chip off...I have a case though... using for over 5 months
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I just picked up a used one. It has chips in the silver paint. Not a big deal for the price I paid. I guess if you scratch or bump it hard enough it could be an issue.
had white housing on for about 2 months now, no paint missing or chipped or anything.
I've thrown my phone of course with the ballistic case on it and not one chip
From the 2nd galaxy
I usually use the Seidio spring holster. The bottom corners of the phone sit in the holster points and I am thinking these may cause some wear.
Ive had mine for months love the look of it so i got the clear case for it and the mirror screen protector and it looks really good like that no chipping or issues yet.
Mine still looks great!
Can black, asian, latino, etc Epic Touch owners answer too? Sheesh, this seems over the top.
Picked mine up right after launch of the white version. No scratches at all.

Without more punctuation, your question is directed at white owners of the E4GT.
It doesnt chip. I got mine almost a month ago and no chipping. It even still smells brand new. Lol I love this phone. :thumbup:

Especially around the home button? Does gunk get in there and is it visible? I'm not talking about from handling the phone with muddy hands - just from regular usage over time. I feel like most of you who have one have had it long enough to comment. Thank you.

Mine looks as fresh as the day I bought it and I use it constantly. This phone is fairly new so I can't say after many months of usage, but thus far I wouldn't worry about it.

Mine looks good here too. I actually had the blue sgs 3 international and was one of the biggest things I noticed was the gunk under the edges you could see. You don't see it in the white verson though. At least not as noticeable anyway

Mine's as fresh as a daisy as well, after 1 month of manhandling.
EDIT: WE LANDED ON THE MOOOOON?!?!?!
The gloss finish doesn't attract dirt as much as mate white finish on HTC One X
The Pebble Blue is much better tho :good:
Well the pebble neon green is the best

i dont know about you guys but I currently have the nano optic screen protector by sgp and even though they make one of the best protectors, you can tell the color difference between the naked area and the covered area. The covered area has a bit of a little greyish tint to it while the naked area is clear white. I'm not sure why everyone is saying "you can't even tell a screen protector is on" when reviewing the sgp screen protector for the galaxy. You can definitely tell that its on.
I would use the device without a screen shield but wouldn't want it to be scratched up when I resell it later on.

I have the nano clear and everyone I have look at the phone doesn't notice my screen protector. The clear doesn't make the white look grey either.

I have the Zagg Invisible Shield on mine. I got the matte finish one and regret it. It definitely dulls down the screen. I think it dulls down the white of the body of the phone also. You can definitely tell I have a screen protector. I may go and buy the clear one soon.
I have the white version and use a matte screen protector and it is as white as day one. The white case though... that is a different story. It looks like crap.

My S3(home button also) is just as shiny and clean as the day I got it. The obvious exception being fingerprints. I haven't had a screen protector on it yet as I'm waiting on SGP to release the curved crystal.

white is easiest color to keep clean of any color phone imo
just bleach the damn thing if it gets dirty
Wouldn't it be awesome? To buy a gold faceplate off eBay and install it yourself and end up having a shiney new gold phone. Beat that iSheep! But however I don't think it is possible simply because of the way the the phone was designed - and that was thinness first. Samsung has fused all those layers of glass (glass, touch screen, and digitizer[?]) together so we get a thinner product, but harder physical customisations/repairs. I might be wrong though, has anyone here replaced the faceplate/screen of their SGS3? Would it be possible to spray paint even the faceplate without getting the screen too?
What is your guys opinion on the way this phone was designed? (In relation to thinnest VS hard repairs, not how god damn ugly Apple made Samsung design the phone) Also, if you could, what color(s) would you paint your SGS3?

Really? I wonder how exactly they do it. There isnt anything on ebay thats like "Change your frame for Galaxy S3!" The only way i can seen it is to replace your screen as well. But that limits us to only white, blue and red frames. No to mention its a hefty ~$230

Oh, and where did you buy it from? (amazon?)
brush aluminum facial plate frame, i have a thread on this, includes a aluminum home button.

Mercury screen protectors. Leaves a 2mm gap all around the phone so i wouldnt recommend it.

I've seen the aluminum cases and they look nice. I'm curious as to if they have a negative impact on the signal strength/ reception. If they don't, I'd be tempted to get one myself!
Yea the housing looks nice. I guess the goal for us all is to have a different colored S3, but preferably without adding bulk to it. The Mercury screen protectors are nice actually, as well as the replacement back cover/housing. So I guess there were more options available that i didnt know about when i started this thread.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I'm still looking at the mercury protectors but it seems that there are 2 versions. a flat one that leaves a 2mm gap from the edge and a curved one that fits perfectly.
I'm still trying to figure out if there's a way to get the curved one. but that is an option for you.
EDIT: and the housing.. you can always buy the housing and spraypaint it yourself.. or even handpaint it if you have the artistic skills.
I have a bezel and home button with infused "diamonds". No stickers etc. Looks nice with the Pebble Blue screen and battery cover.
