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.

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!

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.
Anyways, does anyone have a pic of the blue on on their phone?

Got both Black and Red colors, i like it a lot, makes the phone a lot slimmer and at the same time protects it well.
Will post pictures later

I saw that one as well. I don't know why these suppliers dont make white. I know case mate does, but those are terribly made
if anyone has a pic of the blue incipio feather i'd really like to see it on a real phone before I buy

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?
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.
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

Going with the Gray here. OG white note had several reports of hairline cracks on bezel. Might be a non-issue with the 2 and i like the gray better.
from a galaxy far far away....
I went for the white one. I'm a man and my girlfriend hasn't commented on it. Besides, it's too freaking huge to look girly anyway.

same dilemma, but i feel that the white will look good and match with any color of case whereas the grey might only match well with a black case.

Grey. White seems too common nowadays.
You can't find a grey phone elsewhere!
I'm going for the Grey version more then likely... My girlfriend wants hers in White. :angel:
White here for me
Grey for me, looks fantastic much more executive looking than the toy like white IMO...
Either way though you'll end up with an amazing phone

I have the Grey. The white shows less smudges and less dust. The Grey is notorious for collecting dust in the grove around the bezel. Titanium Grey is still freaking sexy though.

Titanium Grey FTW
I have white S3 and Gray Note 2 and from experience with white S3 there is nothing wrong with white however believe me gray is much more cooler and looks sexier in person. I know because I have both colors of galaxy.

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...
Slickwraps sent me one of these units for review purposes and I actually liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Pretty solid unit. Might order one of them in black.
Here is a review I made if you guys are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuEXoDQcs7o
Are these decals popular for phones? I remember some companies released them for the iPhone 3G/3GS a few years ago but I never personally researched into them until a while ago.
Just looking at the dbrand and xgear threads here in XDA, I'd say they are pretty popular. I've never heard of the brand before, but after looking at their website, these appear to be pretty comparable to the dbrand skins and xgear skins. To give credit where its due, Slickwraps does have a much larger selection of colors than either of the other 2 skin brands. They even have a glow in the dark one, which is really cool and some glittery ones for the ladies (or guys, if that's your thing ). Great find, OP. :good:
Edit: It also appears that they're made in the US if that matters to anyone.

Comrade, I noticed on some of the pictures from their website, the nexus cutout on the back seems a little...off. On the nexus logo, the letters are all supposed to be lines of the same thickness, but some of the images appear to be thicker on the "S" or perhaps thinner on the "nexu". Are you noticing this with your review skin? I couldn't really tell from the video.

In my experience the Nexus cut out was spot on. Perhaps they fixed the issue before they sent me my unit.
I'm not even exaggerating when I say how impressed I am by the accuracy of the cutouts. They were extremely accurate, down to the less than 1mm diameter microphone at the top.

Also found out you can be randomly selected to win one of these devices (Galaxy S4, Nexus 5, etc) if you purchase one of these decals from the Slickwraps website today (Black Friday deal). They posted a video about it on their Youtube page. Looks like a interesting deal.
Actually never mind, the deal is for tomorrow (since Black Friday is tomorrow).

I thought so, because the carbon fiber color is somewhat different than the one from dbrand or stickerboy.
But, actually I prefer their color. Their red carbon fiber and dark brown leather are very nice.
Is their quality comparable to the 3M Di-Noc one? Anyone can share their experience? Do they leave residue when remove?
