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!

I was watching youtube videos about Galaxy Note with flip cover and while at first i kinda liked how it looks, but later i decided that it isn't comfortable to use the phone with it in a hand
Thought about the flip case, but it doesn't appear to offer any kind of drop protection as it's exposed around the edges.
I don't very often drop my devices but if I do I'd like something like the a gel case around the edges at least.

Sure that's an original, as that one was supposed to come in only two colors?
Flip Cover is a cover for large phones and it was a great product when launched for Galaxy Note. It gives a nice and improved look for Galaxy S3 and you might use it to fool your friends into thinking that you’re holding a book. It is available in two colors so that you can easily match it with your Galaxy S3 model’s color.

Getting one of these. Cheap & cheerful. Don't know if I'm getting the S3 yet as I am happy with my Note, but want to be prepared. ( Nice to see the trader being honest about the material used )

I'm likely going to do a casemate toughcase again. Have one on the sgs2 and not a bad thing to say about it.
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.

What color is your E4GT? I have the black feather on my white E4GT and I think it looks really good...but the grey one would probably look good as well...
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.

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?
Nice video.. was going to buy this case for mine next week.. cos i dont like bulky cases..and that non slippery texture just caught me... i have heard that it comes in grey and purple and some other colour.. i have the blue galaxy s3.. which one do you think would suit that??
get the dark blue or grey one.

Definitely go with that charcoal black or grey.
Great video dud. I hope you don't mind but i link your video to the american forums.
I got the same case in grey and it is very nice, just make sure you dont get a 'copy' as theres quite a few on ebay (it should say 'ROCK' on the back).
Even though this case might not be as protective as some TPU cases, I find the texture to provide superior grip and in- hand feel.
I've had the dark and light gray cases (authentic) for about two weeks now and they hold up well with no signs of wear.
I think I'd go so far as to say that the Rock Quicksand is THE best case I've ever had for ANY phone. And like most of you XDA folks, that's a lot of phones and cases!

Go with the Black one....which is actually a DARK GREY. Not sure why Rock even calls it Black....maybe they're color blind?I'm sure whoever created the color codes in China just called the Dark Grey Black....and the Light Grey....Grey. They should actually be Dark Grey.....Light Grey.:victory:
I bought the Generic Grey initially and thought it looked MUCH too light on my Blue GS3....kinda reminded me of the underbelly of a Stingray or even a Great White Shark....but now it's grown on me.
Just for reference the Generic Quicksand case available on Amazon has a more rubberized texture....and it's actually quite nice.
I have a few more weeks to send it back I think I'll keep it....unlike the Rearth Ringke which just doesn't do it for me even though many of the feature are ever so slightly better than the Rock.
I plan on doing a side by side comparison of all three cases right after Christmas and maybe have a few more cases to compare against each other.
Im trying to decide between the seidio surface or incipio silicrylic. Any help?
I have the seidio surface case and I love it...protects the phone well...i also have the holster as well...but I must say it is a b*tch to take the case off at first...but once you do it...it will be easy...I have no input on the incipio silicrylic case...sorry

I have both cases, and I'm currently using the sylicrilic. I really like the surface, but it was bubbling up my full coverage screen protector. The sylicrilic doesn't do that. I also like the two tone look of the sylicrilic better. I got the dark grey with blue from the verizon store. The surface is definitely less bulky though. Honestly, if it didn't mess with my screen protector I probably wouldn't have switched to the sylicrilic.
I just switched from the pebble blue to the garnet red. I love the look of it but there arent alot of cases that go with.

Yeah that was my thought exactly when considering between the blue and the red (not a fan of glossy white on the SGS3 sorry!).
I think on the Incipio the only color that matches with Garnet Red is the black/black. The pink/grey and yellow/grey are just way too bright and colorful, makes you look like a teenage girl (no offense intended). I thought about light grey/dark grey but I think the light gray is too light (too close to white) to match up well with the red. I do think it would work fine with the white and blue SGS3s though.
I have both cases. They are extremely similar cases, and they are also very similarly priced.
The Silicrylic doesn't attract dust while in your pocket, but the Active does, but it's only a little bit. You might want to remove the case and give it a nice wash every week or so though.
Also, the Active has the kickstand, which is the reason I decided to keep it.
In my opinion the colors of the Silicrylic weren't that great either, so I decided to stick with the Active.
I purchased my father the Active as well, except his has the included holster. Wow, that holster is absolutely amazing! I'd highly recommend it if you guys ar einto that sort of thing. It is build very well, and it keeps your phone locked into position. The phone will not move at all. However, it is easy to click open as well, so you can quickly remove your phone for a call, even with one hand.
