Question for white E4GT owners

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

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:

(Question for people who have the white E4GT <---- Possible substitution) All in good fun.

Have mine over a month and a half no wearing, nothing.

Epic Touch 4G...James Bond edition!!

Check out the new creation. I know a lot of people have storm trooper epics (white+black)
but this is a combination of a black screen, the silver band from a white housing, and a black back. Looks sick!!! (the back piece is the white housing. so if you take the battery door off, its actually white.
sorry for the ****ty pics but check it out! fell in love with phone all over again. lol

Looks dope!!

I've got a busted E4GT that I'm going to do this to and give to my fiancee.

Looks good, its refreshing to see something different in this section too.

Hey, my E4GT has a couple dings on the body right next to the glass. Judging from the OP's pictures, it looks feasible to replace that part with new? My question, to anyone who may know is: Would it be worth fixing the phone before I sell it? I'm guessing, as it stands now, the phone's in "fair" condition (as Swappa.com would classify) and probably get easy $200. Now if I replaced the body the phone would be worth an EASY $250...Is this a worthwhile thing to do?
Thanks

Ceramic White T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III (Which one will you get) [Poll]

Seems like everyone is getting the 16gb Metallic Blue Samsung Galaxy S III. Has anyone managed to get a white one?
Does the white version even exist for T-Mobile?

I'll be getting Ceramic White 16GB.

i got the blue. i think the white is played out. plus the blue is realllllllllllly nice...

Haven't seen the two variants in person BUT I can't wait! So far I'm leaning towards the blue. Seems more distinguishable, extravagant, less likely to attract dirt/fingerprints

If you want to see less fingerprints, blue isn't the right choice.

Bump

I got a white, I didn't like the purple button. Just my preference. Not trying to insult anyone.

My Choice
I changed from AT&T to Sprint and got the white. I love my phone but hate my service, though I do not have to worry about overages, data wise.

I got the blue.. the white is a little girly imo, and white phones are freaking everywhere! I think the blue is unique and super sexy

Do you guys think there will ever be a black s3? I'm pretty bummed that they didn't go with black and I might be even more so if they come out with it later and I'll be forced to buy it off contract.

I have to agree here. I looked at the White S3, and just thought that it looked too plain. I mean yea... there's nothing special about giving a brushed aluminium look to plastic, but at least it's an added bit of depth. Didn't really want such a smexy phone to look like... uuh... another popular white phone that's not nearly as smexy.

Yea those pictures + screenshot of a listing in phone arena's database for a black s3= there's probably one coming. But not for awhile is my bet. Kinda a bummer though. I like my blue and all but black would be so much easier to match up with cases.

mix and matching the black and white commuters looks pretty sweet if you feel like buying 2 otterboxes...

been thinking about painting mine black (just the back).
buy replacement back cover, paint it, party on!

I like my white it looks great with cases especially the Neo Hybrid

I don't think there will be, due to the lawsuit with Apple. Trade dress. Google it.

Sammy has already hinted that there will be one. http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/sam...51/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

It's a joke, some of the stuff they claim is patented.

According to Android Police as of yesterday, car phone warhouses' inventory states that it could be possible. As an owner of a white one, I'm jealous of people that get the black one no homo

Black would be nice, but not like a ash black, more like jet black would be awesome. I have a white one. looking to buy a skin for it.

It's even worse that they're claiming that the ICON'S infringed on their patents. Going by their actual patent information in that document, and looking at the side by side's later on... wtf are they on? Well, we could easily say that the white phone on a green background is NOT at a 45-degree angle. And most of the others don't look remotely similar. I mean... thinking that Samsung's smiley in a speech box looks similar to Apple's own speech bubble? The Settings icon... what... because it has a gear in it? And WTF are they on with the photo gallery icon? NOT EVEN CLOSE!
Apple just seems to have the patent office in their pockets, as well as the judges they use for this sh*t, cause they are granted so many patents for the most ridiculous stuff it's unrealistic.

Yeah kinda pissed me off that if I waited I could have had the sapphire black. Still love the S3 though. But come on

If be great if Samsung let costumers who bought one at launcher or even after, but only had 2 color choices exchange for a new color.
Of course phone has to be on like new condition.
And of course Samsung will never do this.
This is probably been the plan all along to try and make more money.

I probably would have gotten titanium. Black is kinda boring after using this white color for the last few months.

I want one in Litigation Green.

i knew they were gonna pull this crap.

Mmmmm titanium looks nice.

Brown looks really good! I just wish they had released the black sooner :/ Sometimes it doesn't pay to be an early adopter.
That being said, I am still very much OVERJOYED with my pebble blue S3!

Lets just hope they don't go doing what they did with the Skyrocket. Making it have a better version then all the other variants

Why now!? would've know earlier and hold off buying it :/ The titanium one looks great, or the black one. Well, my pebble blue looks good.
Wonder if this means that we might have the cases available for purchase later, just a matter of swapping in the hardware... only thing is that these might be 3rd party and not necessarily OEM

I still think my white S3 is gorgeous compared to these other choices.
