So, i cant choose between the black galaxy nexus and the white one. I want you to share your experience and recommend me. I personally think that white is more beautiful, but im worrying that it would turn yellowish in time. Just, help me out here.

It's difficult to advise you on something this subjective, but just know that the decision is never set. You can buy the white housing on eBay and switch for cheap. If you're on the fence, I'd get the white, because the grey housing is much cheaper on eBay. That way it's easier to switch if need be. Personally, I got the grey because I already have a white iPhone.

wow guys, you are mega helpful. Ofcourse i would buy the white one, cuz i like it more, but what if i regret it cuz the white disturbs me while watching movies or it changes color in time. Thats why i asked your recommendations. Its really annoying to see how some people here are so naive and fierce.

Relax, I was playing with you. But think about your question here. You know with white electronics there's always a chance it will fade to yellow over time, so there's really nothing we can tell you that you don't already know.
Like white? Get white (I bet it's gorgeous). If not, get the standard color, it's a great phone.

I wish I could help you, but I haven't personally used the white version (or any white phone, ever).
To those telling the poster it's entirely subjective are ignoring one of his main questions:
Does the white Galaxy Nexus change color over time? For example, like the original NES's tendency to yellow. I don't find it likely, depending on the quality of plastic and dyes used, but I don't know the answer personally. I do know that most lighter colored plastics, particularly the more cheaply made ones, do tend to discolor over time. I can say I agree with the poster above me, pictures of the white Galaxy Nexus do indeed make it look good, and it stands out from all of the grey ones.
As far as whether the white disturbs you while watching videos or anything like that, that kind of question is definitely one that only you can answer for yourself. Sorry that I can't be more help.

Thanks for the constructive answer now. And please dont play with the newbies
I have the white and it looks amazing, If you want the oem extended battery, then get the black bc there is no white battery cover. I end up buying an extra oem battery as an alternative option.
I've never even seen a white Galaxy Nexus in real life. Don't think they are available in Sweden.
Does Sprint have the white galaxy nexus?

I like the white one personally. If you are scared about keeping it white, just get a case to keep it protected. I plan on using an otterbox case when I take it to work to keep it clean, and just using a white tpu bumper to protect it otherwise.

Was there two days ago, they do not.
Buy which ever one, white or black
And then go on amazon or eBay and buy the white/black housing and swap em out when u feel a change of color.
Problem solved.

My order just came in and here are some pics. Sent by Samsung Vibrant.
For all the other people that have received one, does anyone notice that their menu lights have an illuminating affect around it? It doesn't look as clean as the black ones because it just doesn't glow in on the menu icons but all around it.
Yes i notice that on my friends white sgs2..light leakage perhaps?? Or the fact that its white led simply reflecting off the white colored casing of the phone?

No lines or blobs on mine. The white looks real good and gets a lot of attention. The back has a real nice gloss to it as well.
Looks awesome! Shame that they had to place the Samsung on the bottom, always looks so cramped for you T-Mobile Users.

Yeah, Tmobile stopped putting headsets at the beginning of the month. You would think that a $600 phone would come with one. I'm glad I bought mine on release because mine came with one and they are really nice.

I can make out the lines on the screenshot of the phone keypad. Really hard to notice since the sticker is in the way and the brightness isn't low enough, but it's there.
Just got mine today I notice the screen isn't as crisp as it should be I owned the Droid charge and everything just popped on this it looks kinda wash like the motorola displays nothing like the charge. It is the same display isn't it? When the screen is off I can clearly see a foggy residue under the screen.

Wish they would have released the white version with the black version so I could have gotten that one instead. I love my SGS II regardless of it's color but the white version is a real attention-grabber.

Trying to get mine through Tmobile retentions but apparently they are out of stock of the black and white with no estimate on new ones coming in... Sad.
Wish I had waited. I am guessing that the material of the device is not solid enough to stop the light from shinning through. I don't think its a problem, but if it is you can contact Customer Care and they might have some idea on whats going on. Dude, you have a White SGSII which almost everyone here is pissed about not having. Be happy!
Ever since I saw the Galaxy S3 announcement, I've had the idea to mix and match the two "all natural and made for humans" colours. So I got a white phone and started looking for a replacement back in blue. At first, it was impossible to get a pebble blue back without buying a new GS3. But eventually, I found one on ebay.
The cover I bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/380448215137

Thanks, I'm interested in doing this.
I'm going to be annoying and complain, though... Why the extreme closeups? I'm really having problems seeing what it really looks like, I think your pictures are pretty bad quality! Are they taken in low light? Some of them look very yellow.
Better pics, please, mister Blurrycam? Thanks for your effort! (Sorry for complaining!)
So I found 2 sellers on ebay advertising this... do you mind sharing which one you got it from. Would rather run with a confirmed legitimate back cover. Cheers
And to the previous poster I'd hazard a guess it is damn hard to have a distance shot that captures the sheen/colour of the pebble blue especially in the same shot as white (too wide a contrast range) not to mention the brushed metal finish...

Might go the other way and get the white one for my pebble blue model
Linky please ?
I want to buy the original batterycovers aswell.. as backup . Could you provide us with a link where to buy these?
I can take some photos in better lighting once the sun is back. However, if I take a picture from a distance, it will just either look like an all white phone. The blue back isn't visible when I lay it down.
I don't have a real camera.. only a ton of phones. I took the pics with my Galaxy Nexus :x Maybe the Galaxy S IV will be good enough to photograph itself?
Anyways, I updated the thread to have a link to the buyer on ebay that I purchased from.

i love a unique phone, zedomax has a white phone with black screen and the home botton is white aswell. looks great although ide still prefer my original pebble blue.
i like to make programs and the looks of the phone unique rather then the outside i like it nice and simple on the outside and deadly in the inside hehe
I've now had about 6 of the white gs3 from t-mobile. I have had 1 16gb (it didn't have bleed). The other 5 (32gb) has had this bleed from the buttons in some way. It's worse in person than in pictures, but you can get an idea.
I've also had one where you could see the insides of the phone from an improper seal where the screen meets the bottom by the lights (screen meeting white trim).

Am I the only person to notice this? I'm pretty picky, but this (especially the right one) is totally unacceptable. Video or a dark background at night makes it stick out like a sore thumb.
The one on the bottom, you're being a little picky. The one on the side is legitimate...but why not just turn off the LEDs and save yourself some hassle?

I agree, if I was paying for a $700 device I would want it perfect. I get mine (White 32gb) Friday and will report my findings. I have a strong feeling i'm gonna go back to blue.
How have you had so many GS3's? I'm not shocked though because this was discussed to no end when the phone was first released. I'm sure they could have prevented this by using a dark film underneath the screen with a masked cut out for the menu and back keys. But what do I know about manufacturing. Maybe they see this as a bonus feature?

You're not going to have that problem with the blue one, If I'm right I think most white phones has the same problem, I know my friends white skyrocket has it.
Yikes... That's a nasty light bleed

I think this is a tough problem to conquer for everyone. Remember how long the white IP4 was delayed?

After testing the Red Galaxy SIII all day, I might just pick one up for myself. I am really liking the color Red, very bright, but it does attract finger prints. So if your thinking of getting the Red SIII and want to look at it before heading out to the store, you can view the video and hope it helps.

i got mine on Friday. I was hoping it would be more 'red'. It's more of a 'wine' color. I was hoping for more of a fire engine red, closer to how the pictures looked online.
Not going to lie, I'm really digging the red model. It's more of a burgundy or brownish. Sorta the same kind of "red/brown" I've been seeing in cars lately.
I would consider swapping out my Blue phone for this but it seems too big of a hassle for just a color change (no specs actually change). Actually I would be interested in just getting a red backcover and switching it out on my blue
it's really beautiful. Personally, I like phones being different colors. Why have them black? We aren't ashamed of them?

Nice looking but not for me i like the pebble blue much better !
I would love this if the capacitive buttons didn't light up red. It's really ugly. The phone itself is beautiful.

I actually just got my candyshell a couple of days ago. I was put off by the 'cracking' from the reviewers, but I ordered it from Amazon and they have a great return policy. I also had a speck when I had the iphone 3gs and I liked it. It provided protection without being too bulky. Too bad they don't have it in white!
I was actually surprised as it was better than the iphone version - the buttons are really easy to press (on the iphone case, I always had to push down really firmly on the volume rocker and power button because the rubber didn't have as much give). So far, I like it as it also gives me something more solid to hold, I'm probably the minority but the naked phone feels so light, like I'm going to snap it in half. No complaints with cracks so far, will update if there is.

Yeah, actually the speck case for the galaxy s3 seems less flimsy than the iphone version. To me, anyway.
Case is junk. Super hard to get the phone out of and the cracking is real.
Get a case mate tough or a incipio sylicrilic.
I have this case. It's my everyday case right now. I've put it on and off the phone multiple times and never had any issues. If you do it as per the instructions then it comes out easy. Mine has not cracked. This is the best case I have found that is slim fitting, has a lip to keep the screen and camera lens off of tables, and covers the buttons. I would recommend it.

Kinda hard to show picts when I have sent all 3 back to amazon. The case cracks from the camera opening to the top of the speck logo. Others have reported it cracks in other areas too. Give it time, yours will crack too. We had a speck candyshell for our iPhone and that thing was the best....this one for the S3 is total crap

Obviously he means the Speck case. If you're too stupid to realize that, please leave the thread.
Thanks to everyone that helped! I hope mine isn't cracked.

What case idiot? I mentioned 2 in the post he quoted.
Oh geez I don't know, maybe the one in the TITLE of the thread? Leave since you don't have anything useful to say.

Why didn't he request that from those that mentioned out before me? That's what I thought........
I remember reading somewhere on another forum that it was one specific color that was cracking and Speck stopped selling that color due to the issues. I believe the other colors were all fine with no problems. I think it was the greyish bluish one that they stopped.

Whoa, that's pretty weird. So theoretically, all should be fine now? I ordered the dark gray one on the site.

Yeah, it was the Pebble / Bayou color that was having issues. I can't seem to find the thread that I read that on but if you go to the Speck website you'll see that they show 5 color options in one of the photos but you can only buy 4 of them. You can't buy the Pebble / Bayou color as I believe that was the one that had the issues.
Both shocked and appalled that this thread is as yet inconclusive...
DAMN YOU INTERNET :silly:
