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:

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

White GN users, can you share the usability?

Hi,
I'm wondering how the usability of the white GN is. I've never used a white phone so could you please share whether it gets easily discolored, yellow spots, very scratch prone, etc.?
Thank you.

Usability: same as the gray/titanium one i'd assume?
Color: it's white plastic, I've used it for about 3 months, no scratches, discoloration etc. Listen to me on this one, I'm a girl, I drop everything & use makeup, the white has stayed white.
When used without a case, the phone is quite slippery, however, I'm assuming that's across the board color wise.
I previously used a white tmo sgs2. That also stayed white. The nexus isn't a glossy finish like the back of the s2, so the nexus is much less prone to scratches. This being said, I do have a screen protector on my nexus & usually use a case, however mine has been naked for the past couple of days.
This phone is sexy as hell.

The white has stayed white since I ordered the housing. The grey casing is slightly less slippery because of the battery door.

The white is great. The only heart attack I had was when my blue ink pen started bleeding and I used the phone without realizing. The ink on my hands was still wet so the white had a few nice blue marks all over. Luckily I noticed before it dried and was able to wash it off. Other then that, still pretty white only problem is no white extended battery door.

Looks super sexy, especially since the Titanium Galaxy Nexus has become so commonplace now. The only disadvantage is that it really stands out in a crowd, which I guess is a good thing

Thank you all for the replies. Since I havent used a white phone I was a little worried. Yes the white GN is sexy!
And the apparent racism in the title was totally unintentional..

The holster format swivel. Other than that this looks nice. Unfortunately i need my phone horizontal instead of vertical. I could be wrong.

I have this case/holster. it does have a ratcheting clip on the holster btw. anyway what I was gonna say is regarding the screen protector. I had a screen protector on my phone before getting this case. I tested out the screen responsiveness with the ballistic SP over my SP and it suffered badly. So i chose not to use it. Maybe I will try to remove my SP and try the ballistic SP on it one day.

This case is great,
Cons: Smells horrible, Smells like petroleum (which it is made of) if the phone is a foot away from me it is very potent.
Needs a kickstand.

My maxx case came in the mail the other. I put it on right away just to find out the hard back cover doesn't stay on the rubber case. That sort of got me upset. Even the screen cover layer was a bit deformed. It was concave inward, not straight. Anyone else had a similar experience?

Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi

Its great. It's thin and durable (I use it without the optional outer rubber layer). Covers the ports of headphones and charger. There are also plastics films to protect the camera lens and flash lens. Only annoying hindering aspect would be the power button and home button. You need press with a bit of force. Taking it off is a hassle too, but I knew that when I purchased it. I popped off the built in screen protector since I have a zagg hd on mine, so I can't comment on that. It feels great and the kick stand isn't flimsy. Overall it is a great product.

Speck Candyshell

Anybody else pick this case up?
I got the grey/black from ATT. There was no way this phone was leaving the store naked, so I chose it (free due to a plethora of bull****).
Anyway, this case is actually pretty awesome. VERY slim, yet sturdy. It fits better than I imagined, and I had pretty high hopes. Also, the buttons retain their solid "click" when you press them with ease.
I highly recommend it. ATT has them for the manufacturer's price of $35. I will post pictures if anybody wants.
I looked, but didn't find a similar thread. Please let me know if there is already one!

i had one of these on a one x and my god i didnt think i was ever gona get it out so i went with the casemate that is like the otter comm all black it looks very nice with the white

I was worried about it being tough to get off too, but it's surprising. It's like the hard plastic is flexible to a certain extent, just enough to get the case off.
I do want that case you are talking about. My wife has one for her S2.

I grabbed the same case, along with a Case-mate Pop. The Pop is going back. Love the Speck. Wish they had other colors in the store though. I chose the Speck bc it's a quality case and it slides in and out of my pocket easily.

Best buy didn't have anything good when I looked. Amazon has the best selection, but most of the cases I want are pre order only.

I picked up the grey from the AT&T store as well. I like the contrast with the white phone and the black rubber around the edge, but I agree that the "grey" has some purple in it. Still, I really like the case and I'll only bother to change the color if this one wears out. These have been my favorite cases for my last two phones. They seem durable and offer great protection of all edges.

I wonder if they are making Candyshell Card like the one for iPhone... https://www.speckproducts.com/iphone-case/iphone-4-case/smartflex-card-for-iphone-4s-4.html

I bet they will.
I'm still looking for the candy shell in other colors. I know they make them, but I can't find any for sale.
I wish they would do a black hard part with white rubber. That would look great on my white phone

Man these things are expensive to ship... over $50 for just a case to ship all the way up here to the "great north" - canada. Anyone know if they sell these at any retail stores around here?
Also how does the Pebble/beyou or the green one look with the white one? Wish speck had more color combination... they all seem a bit dull aside from the raspberry pink one.

Deluxe protection case $1.95 shipped

Looks pretty good actually. Bought one, and for $1.95 i'll probably by a few more. Ships from NJ, so I should get it soon. Will leave my initial impressions when it arrives.
They have them in different colors as well, just have to search around. I saw green, white, black, red, and blue so far.
Edit: price went up to $4.95

Wonder how good cases are plus comes with a screen protector anyways had some PayPal balance so ordered white, black, red, blue, green!

Doesn't look like a bad deal, but I have always wondered why people boast their phone is 0.1mm slimmer and then put a huge case like this on their phone
I personally prefer to take care when handling my phone and I've never even dropped one.

Got two of the cases. Atthat price it was worth the gamble. It is a nice case for the price, but doesnt suit my needs. The back and corner protection is good, but the protection for the front is not enough for me. The rubber lip is not deep or sturdy enough form me. If dropped touch screen facing down, I dont think of will survive. But, if you dont have butter fingers or A rampaging 2 year old, i think this price is right!

Turn it inside out and carefully shave a little bit off with a razor blade.

Really not that impressed. I think I will probably go ahead and get that Seido case everyone is talking about.
But hey...for two bucks, nothing lost too badly
