Can anyone suggest a white case that won't get discolored? White phones don't get dirty/discolored from normal use so there must be a case that won't either. Here's my white mercury case and you can see its gotten discolored in a week. I've tried cleaning with lots of different things but nothing works. So any case suggestions would be appreciated. Or should I just give up and get a black one.

Problem is , most companies make cheap cases, and that means cheap coloring whether its in the mold or the finish. I suggest looking for a white molded case made out of PVC, if that's possible. Cheap finishes especialy white will always fade or discolor.
Go with black !
Maybe someone else has had better luck, hope you find what you need.

Been using the white case from cruzerlite since it was rlsd about a month ago and no yellow tinting or dirt. And I use my phone everywhere.

I have the white cruzer lite.
nice case but I regret buying white. I played golf last week and use golfshot. Big mistake. The andy android fellow got all dirty and discolored. I was able to wash it off with bleach spray. However now I am noticing that the corners are getting blue lines on them, from what I think is from my jeans. Not sure, but it wont come off.
While its not entirely white, I do use the SGP Neo Hybrid, white and it hasnt gotten dirty. I cut out the back, as someone on XDA did as well, and I love it. See pics from Rootzwiki i posted:

I also ordered the Rigke Slim for the LTE Galaxy Nexus in white. It should ship today, and Ill post back how it handles dirt. I work in Construction and my phones are always exposed to getting their share of dirt/mud/mortar etc.

idont think its the dies so much as the materials. A lot of plastics yellow.. especialy when exposed to uv. and especially when white.
I know where your coming from. I have a white case as well. i think white looks good with the nexus. (wish i knew about the white nex coming to vz before i bought mine 16 days ago)
check wikipedia on plastics as far as i know only abs does not yellow. I think pvc is pretty good as well. so what ever case you buy look up the material its made with and check if it discolors...
good luck and when you do find one.. post your results here!

Any white gn owners want to chime in on how the white version is? I wish the whole front was white. Not sure why they only made half white? Any major issues I might want to know about before pulling the trigger on it? For example does it get dirtier easier or scratch easier, etc? Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks.
They made the front black because it actually looks good with the dark UI and black top/bottom bars. it would look pretty awful if the bars were black and the framing/bezel was white.
I bought the white gn the last time daily steals had it... about a month ago. I completely agree about the front. I also have a white T989 that is all white (front & back) & I like that a lot, but I haven't touched it since I got my gn. I got a yakju build. No bugs, issues, scratches or anything else ::knocks on wood::... absolutely loving this phone...

Basically. I like the look of it, compared to the titanium silver one.
It's one of the few phones where white looks a bit awkward.
Just look at the ceramic white i9100. White front/bezel = beautiful and thats how it should've been done.
But luckily, apparently some company is selling screen protectors with white top and bottom and bezel so that would make the phone much better looking.
At least its cheap to convert our titanium to white.
I wish someone made a straight up all black housing.....WOULD BE SEX!!! pure black Galaxy Nexus would look awesome with the already black screen and no buttons. Would be the purest thing ever hahaha

You mean completely re-skin the UI to be white on the white nexus? What?
if you're going to use a case, don't see a point getting the white since the case will cover it up
I always felt white phone where tacky. I don't have a white one but I assume the hyper skin would catch dirt

How much is a white one? best place to get it?>
You can also get a front skin to "complete" the white. http://www.decalgirl.com/skins/95096/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Skin-Solid-State-White
I believe the Matte/Satin finish should match the back pretty well.
I've had both. White one is nice. Battery cover feels cheap because its all plastic and not rubbery like the titanium one. But it looks nicer overall in my opinion. And it doesn't get dirty. Not yet at least, have had it for a month. And it looks nicer with the black glass instead of white. The contrasted look is real nice.

Why buy a white one. Everyone knows black ones run faster.
^lol....don't know if thats gonna be accepted very well
My white i9100 didn't get dirty. It will stay white, dw.
But for the GN, it looks weird. The contrast doesn't look good IMO. It would definitely look better if the front was white also.
But at least it makes it easier for us with titanium to change to white. Really simple and cheap to just swap housing. Then buy a screen protector with the white decals
The question is, should the white decal go over the screen protector, or the screen protector over the white decal?

Over the screen protector.....
But there's a screen protector where it's already colored in. So it's one piece, I forgot who sells it....saw it on another thread somewhere
That's what im talking about. Like the white SGP glas for the i9100, but for the Nexus
I bought a white one and I'm quite unhappy... It looks and feels cheap. Unlike the white apple products which look and feel great, this one looks like a cheap chinese toy when compared. Yuck...

Well first of all, iPhone is made from only glass and an aluminum bumper/trim so it's definitely going to feel more high end and nicer.
If you wanted just build quality feel....should've went with something else like HTC as Samsung uses plastic. Though it doesn't creak and feels very solid. My titanium color feels very nice with the textured back cover hyperskin. Super solid and the back won't crack if it falls =P
It definitely doesn't feel cheap though. It's light and feels nice and solid. Cheap toy is something that feels flimsy and the parts are squeeking and crap.
Sorry for bumping this old thread, but I just need to clarify one thing.
Does white Galaxy Nexus back cover have the same texture as the black version?
Im interested in the incipio feather after reading many reviews. I'm fairly set on it unless anyone has a better alternative. I have 2 tpu cases that I don't use anymore and would like to step up.
Also, I'm tossed on the color to get. I'm leaning towards the blue cause I like the look of the Lumia 900, but I don't know if its too much. I would consider another brand if it is recommend tho?
I just got the blue one last week on my Black E4GT. Love it.

I have a black e4gt. I wish incipio made a white feather, but they dont. thats why im on the blue one now. All the other colors dont seem right for me.
I wish i had a white e4gt. i would definitely put the black incipio on it as well

I'd suggest getting the light grey feather then do minor sanding then paint/seal it.
Thanks for the suggestion. I really don't want to mess with it, kor do I have the time. Just seems odd they wouldn't make a white version.
Anyways, does anyone have a pic of the blue on on their phone?

true, my white sline got pretty dirty, but it depends on the material used. That was a very easily stained rubber. a feather case with an overcoat like they make for iphone would more than suffice for the average user
Sooo anyone got a picture of this thing?
Heres a few pics of the casemate case for the s3. I had to go to an at&t store because bestbuy had no accessories (prolly be here on 28th right lol) and i didnt like the sprint ones. And it has a VISOR AG screen protector on it. If your like me and had no clue what these were basically its a screen protector that covers the whole front of the phone not just the screen its self. Its clear for the screen and if you notice its clear not cut out for the back and menu buttons. Then the outer layer is white or blue depending on what color you have. Also this screen protector is fingerprint and bubble free. Normally im an otterbox defender or ballistic HC guy but i gotta admit im liking this

I just ran up to the att store and bought the same setup you did. The grip on the side was most important and it is outstanding. The visor screen cover is excellent as well because there is little to no touch loss. In addition its washable and replaceable. My phone was blue and they only had the white visor, so now it appears white with the white case.
Cons: the stand is very flimsy, but I don't care I never use it.
Loving it, thanks for the heads up.

Is the headphone port really recessed? I used headphones with an angled connector.
It's an awesome case. I'm glad I got it as well!
It's rubbery where it needs to be, and hard case where it needs to be.
I was also going to pass on it, but the case was so good, I overlooked it.

I've got the same case, direct from Case-mate (Used code 'tough' for 20% off, not sure if it's still active FYI).
I love the case, with one exception.... that kickstand is damn flimsy and unless you're on a PERFECT level surface, forget about Portrait mode. (And yes the website says it's good for portrait or laandscape).
I've emailed Case-Mate to see if they are aware of the kickstand issues and are planning to do anything about them (like retool to a metal like Seidio)....
I need to find a Seidio one local so I can see it in action to determine which I'll keep for the long haul. This one feels real nice in the hand though.
Still waiting on my screen protectors in the mail.. bought like 3 different brands (2 cheapie and 1 seidio), figure i'll try something new

Good :
- Rubber grips on the side
- Buttons click well
- Kickstand
- Feels sturdy overall
- Headphone jack area accommodates even the largest jacks.
Bad :
- Kickstand feels flimsy
- Rubber on back peels and stains the back of the case (will wipe off though)
- Back is raised so it doesn't rest on the rubber grips. It'll spin in place.
- Headphone port area cracked a little (tiny) when trying to remove phone from case. In other words, not enough plastic.
Advice: Buy but only in white (Which I have). It scratches easily like Speck cases. You won't see scratches on the white but I guarantee you'll see them all over the black one within 5 minutes of putting it on.

I wonder how this will work or if it even will work with a glass screen protector?
First off its called the ivisor. I have had this same setup for over a month now. I got tired of the sp yes it looks good but go out in the sunlight and try to use your phone its impossible to see.

I've used AG iVisor for a few phones now and they have always been outstanding. I presently have one on a SGS 2, Nokia Lumia 900 and my SGS3.
So I seem to have issue with the SGS3s iVisor. While the iVisor fits well, when I put a case on, it pushes the sides of the iVisor up and away from the screen, simply pushing it off the face of the phone. I have tried 3 different cases (non of which are the same as mentioned in the OP), that being said, the case should not matter...
Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?
I attribute it to the (almost zero edge) construction of the phone. This problem has not occurred on either of the other devices mentioned.
Yes the case does make a diffence some just push up the ivisor I have this problem with many of cases on reason I don't recommended this product.

Lot of people saying White has this and that problem. Are they true? I personally don't like the Gray colour at all, and wanted to buy a White one but I am confused. Is there any such problem in the white colour?
Thank you.
I'm having the same dilemma, but my gf says to get gray... apparently she doesn't "want a girlfriend", I do really enjoy the brushed lines there on the gray one though. I think the white is just too white... unlike the new iPhone 5 or the white amaze 4g or sensation by HTC with a nice metal band,coming separating two rubberized pieces of plastic (as opposed to 1 big slippery piece of plastic on this phone... god knows how many times i'm going to drop this phone)
I have the white and like it. It seems to make the device less huge and serious, and I guess I live in a place that is more open minded about men who have white phones lol.
I had a black metal bumper on my white S3 and it looked fantastic. The Note 2 is probably too big for a metal bumper so I will probably put a black tpu on it. There seems to be more you can do with the white, while the grey will always just be grey.

I agree although another reason for me to get gray is to prevent my gf from stealing my phone
But I do agree, white does look nice too, I wouldn't mind it as it does look good with the other flip cases. I do want to know if I can replace the back cover of the T-Mobile one with an international one to get rod of the carrier branding. I know the NFC module is on there but do you think its interchangeable?
Gray ofcourse

Grey. White seems too common nowadays.
You can't find a grey phone elsewhere!

What do you mean notorious? (The phone's only been out about a week and a half) and why doesn't the white exhibit the same behavior?
I'm paranoid about dust because my Sensation just recently had dust get beneath the glass (annoying as heck in the sun) and that just takes away from the resell value
I just sold my white and I'm ordering the grey one. Nothing wrong with the white one at all, looked pretty nice but I can't get the grey off my head!
I bought the white one. It hasn't arrived yet. I'm a white supremacist so...
Just kiddin... I buy online so I couldn't weigh my option as to which looks cooler or more solid. I can only base myself from my current phones, and I come from a long line of white iphones as these show smudges and fingerprints less. When I had black/grey phones, they used to look dirty, greasy and disgusting...
