Question for white ET4G owners... - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

How long have you had your phone and how is the white casing holding up? With or without a case?
I'm asking because this time around I think I'm going to go for the white GS3 but I'm concerned that the pretty white color will fade to a nasty gray or get to dirty or something.
I don't normally use a case for my phones...thanks to the retarded annoying cases for the OG Epic, but I'm very careful especially since I got this S2. (I'm one of those people who trend to forget that my phone is sitting on my lap when I get out of the car).
But anyway, how's the white plastic looking over time?

I have had mine since November and it still looks amazing. Not a scratch on any of the white and no fading whatsoever. I only have a couple scratches on the silver edging which reveals white underneath, not sure if the SGS3 has this. I am very picky about my phone looking great and I wouldn't hesitate to buy this one again.

My epic is holding up pretty well
It had some nasty falls but only some minor scratches

No problems with dirt or anything? Are you guys saying this without using a case?

i really thought i wanted the white sg3 but I think the blue is the way to go

Still loving my white ET4G without a case. I have a case but the covers the white so I don't use it. Can't show off the white when it's covered

I just came back to the E4GT after having a Galaxy Nexus for a while... the E4GT I just picked up is white... but I immediately bought an Otterbox because I am not a clever man.

I thought I wanted the white E4GT but when I was holding it in the sprint store, I felt like I was wearing black dress shoes with white knee-high socks in shorts.
..so I went with the manly black flavor. I has no disappoint. I would have just covered it up with my case anyways! The chick at the sprint store had a white one and she told me that it picked up lint and crap from her purse/pockets. The textured back on the black one felt better in my hands too. The white one has a completely smooth and slippery back cover which I have no love for.
..but whatever blows your dress up!

Lol, but the correct term is "Pebble Blue" not "Black". :-D

Pop! Case... Get it now

this is honestly the BEST case I've ever used. it feels great in the hand and the kickstand is a must have if you Netflix at work. it's sold out on amazon but I was able to find mine on ebay
http://www.amazon.com/Case-mate-Cas..._16?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1324101079&sr=1-16
I had this case on my NS4G, it'll end up warping on the rubber edges, after about 1 month it was already messed up.. but this one can be different.
How thick is it? I have a Seidio Active... About as thick as I'd want to go.

How hard is it?
Is is a soft rubber?
Thanks.
Nice
Good looking case. Has anyone spotted any dark blue ones -- NO TPU cases please.. Thx
Hard plastic on the back, and the rubber is really tough but will give in about a month if you continuously take it off.. the real fit is snug you'll like it
I bought this case from Amazon first part of November and really like it
The kickstand feels a little flimsy which is okay because it's not used all the time, the phone snaps in and stays without problem... the reason I really like this case is because of the placement of the rubber, which is soft and gives the phone grip which is easy to hold in my hand.
Another reason I like this case is because I can put the phone on my dashboard or center console of my 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab and the phone never moves while driving
I bought the White/Cool Gray one

I've had mine for almost 2 months and haven't it change any colors, are you sure the color change isn't come from something in your environment like blueberry KoolAid? HAHA

do you have the white epic 4g touch?

Or the black. Let's do a poll. I just had to get a replacement and the rep hooked me up with a white, he says it us very popular and is sold fast. So i'm wondering how rare it is. It is a beauty ill tell ya.
Please complete the poll i'm just curious thanks.
Black...I had a choice, but I guess I'm weird. Everyone seems to like the white one better.

I purchased the white one when it was $99 on amazon... and now they're selling it for 1 penny! LOL Either way, I'm still selling my soul to sprint for these monthly bills and piss poor data speeds in socal... Sometimes I regret not waiting for the galaxy note on ATT, but then I look at how sexy my phone is and the EPIC development brought by T.C.P., calkulin, mijjah, and darchstar and everyone else!
I'm still looking for a nice case that compliments the color of the white epic touch. I currently have the CIMO S-line transparent TPU case bought off of amazon, thinking it would show off the white. I love the grip on this and how it adds much needed bulk, but I'm not feeling the "clear" of the case.
I had both,now i got white and it looks better because it makes screen look larger and i like the way android buttons are lit-its extra vibrant unlike black one.
If you wanna impress the hoes then get white one.

Started with black, gave it to the wife the day they released the white one. I love it because people only really know of white iPhones and when they see this they are like "wtf, where did you get something cooler than the iPhone?!" And I am like "there are lots of cooler phones than the iPhone, idiot." Then I proceed to blow their MINDS with Android awesomeness!

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
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:

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..

Titanium v.s White

Ok, so im purchasing an E4GT soon but im torn between the titanium gray and white. But the gray looks weird and matte on the stock photos. Can anyone post pics of their phone in either color? Also, case suggestions are welcome. Im looking at the otterbox commuter and a seidio case. Well, accessories in general. Thanks in advance.

Another +1. I got the s2 for 50 after the s3 came out, expect similar savings on the s3 once the s4 drops.

See, that's was the plan. I wanted the s4 but the phone im on now is on Its last leg. Random restarts and running an ics demo rom that's laggy as all hell. But I cant go back to GB. Ill try for the s3, but the s2 with jellybean seems like a nice alternative.
TPU case off amazon. Inexpensive, light, strong, thin and comes in different colors. Protects the phone well.
I would personally go with the titanium or black over the white for purely cosmetic reasons. I originally got myself the white version and ended up hating it after a while, gave it to my wife and got a black one. On a side note, the white version was perfect, GPS lock instantly and never had any phantom button issues. I have gone thru two or three black versions and my GPS on this last one is terrible.
