What you guys think??? pros and cons on black vs white galaxy s 2
Its just a difference of color..but one thing I can think of is that white may show more obvious blemishes over time where as black is less noticeable.

One is darker than the other
The white has a glossy back. With that you can install ghost armor on it to protect it from getting blemishes.
the white version is gonna get dirty really easily..the back cover is rubberised plastic..all kinda crap will stick to that
There are no pros or cons. It is just a color and a personal preference. I doubt anybody here has both to tell you both sides so pick your favorite color.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
Someone traded me there black galaxy s2 and $200 for my white one last week. I guess the colors are a big deal to some people. I thought they were crazy but i'm not stupid. I took that deal.

Wow, that's a come up right there. They must of really want the white one. I want one too, but I wouldn't give more than $50 and only because mine is a month older.

That's incorrect. I'm holding my white handset right now and the back is smooth plastic. It isn't rubberized like, for example, the G2x.
The advantage is that stuff won't stick to it, the disadvantage is that it tends to feel slippery.
Some observations people might be interested in - it's a pearl white color with the silver accents (including the earpiece grill and camera lens) The backlight from the touch sensitive buttons tends to bleed which cheapens the look ever so slightly but then again, I have then turned off using the Screenfilter widget. Still though, it's a sharp looking handset and I've received positive comments from co-workers.
I have both and for some reason the white model has like a yellow tint to the screen. I hate it. My vote is black. Although I think the black one would look neat with the chrome bezel the white one has.

I really liked the white one and wanted to keep it but that was to good of a deal to pass up.

I had the Black one and now I have the White and the one thing I notice is that if you look at the top of the Black phone, on the bezzel, theres a sticker there that says Qualcomm 3G and on the White one it says Qualcomm 4G. Not sure exactly why they did that..
Other then that, the White one feels more responsive and smoother. Maybe they fixed all the bugs from the black ones.
The vibrent screen with the White back drop looks stunning.
The bezzel on the White one has a polished aluminum look which I personally think looks better then the Chrome. But thats just me... To much chrome can look bad sometimes.
I personally think white looks more feminine. But that is just me, and not that it is bad. Same goes with the white sunglasses that I have seen.

use it for 2more months and we'll see if it "turns" black
The only difference I can think of would be an effect on the camera, kinda like the problem the i-apple had
Hey guys, has anyone seen white housing OEM parts floating around the web for purchase? Its extremely easy to pop the titanium housing off, and I, personally would love to have the ability to change the two out whenever I'd like. The titanium housing is easy to find which is a plus, but I'd still like white just for kicks.
Thanks guys.

I've only seen the white OEM battery backdoor but I'd imagine the casing will start to go around soon. The best part about this, after all, is the face-plate of the white phone is left as black.
I've been scouring eBay for this, nothing yet!
Can't wait to turn my nexus white, and cover my extended battery cover in white carbon vinyl wrap, should look amazing!
I've been looking for this too. Hopefully it won't be too long from now. I'm sure they know that some of the users may need the white housing,
this is one of the rare cases where the original color of the phone looks 10 time better than the white one... im just saying... i love the titanium.... the white just doesnt sit right with me... plus it isnt going to get its updates directly from google... is u have the gsm titanium one... id say stick with it... just saying

We're just looking to swap the housing over, so we will still have the titanium one, just in a fancy new suit
I'm torn between the two colours, and really just want some variation!
Ugh I want a white one too. And with only the white door available for sale on Ebay its like the people are taunting and teasing us about not being able to have it.

The things he sells in other colors are normal cases
If he's selling the titanium ones though it's a question of time the white housing arrives to eBay.
Just saying
I was having extremely difficult time in choosing which color of the device to go with...
I've had White and Black iPhone 4s before and now I have the Black iPhone 4S.
Through out my life... I've only had black phones... and I felt like White was a refreshing changes.
So, when I actually wanted to go with the White Galaxy S3... T-Mobile was actually backordered with the White device. So I only had an option of Blue of 16GB.
Also, I did my extensive research on which case and stylus to buy as well... so I've finally managed to go with a perfect match for our beautiful pebble blue.
I went with Atomic Blue of Otterbox and the combo of Elago Stylus with Pen and a extra tip.
Otterbox Defender is a amazing case... Not only this make the phone almost indestructible and makes the phone feel like a phone (added weight)
Sure, this case will add bulk and weight to the device, but remember that accidents can happen and this case is a investment for those who are clumsy.
Also, I think the color balance between pebble blue and the navy and green color of the Otterbox case makes it very unique.
I hope you enjoy the pictures and feel free to ask any questions. Oh and I am still debating if I should go with White one still...
You guys can convince me to stick with the pebble blue, instead of white.
(I made a poll option to help me to decide if I should keep the blue or exchange for white)

I'm using my stylus for s-memo. I was tempted to buy the galaxy note for T-Mobile, but I can just buy the stylus for my s3. It's not as accurate as the note, but it works! Best of all s3 is newer and faster!
So what do you mean by fading for white phones?

Very sharp! I have the same case except it is the Teal (ish, whatever color you'd like to call it) version of it. I have the White Galaxy S 3 in it and I like how it looks. I originally wanted the blue one, but after the employee there let me see both of them in my case I opted for the white. I'd post a picture but I'm not a the 10 post count lol.
How are you liking the stylus? Do they work well on the S 3 for actually writing and things like that?

I love it! It was only $12 @amazon. Honestly I bought this one over the other ones, because the feature of the built in pen and an extra tip as well. Also the color of the stylus (indigo blue) matches perfectly with the pebble blue s3.
Only downside would be when writing on s-memo its not 100% accurate. Meaning writing can be a little aliasing on the edges.
I tried comparing my girlfriend's galaxy note, this thing is super accurate (using s-pen) but using the elago stylus makes it aliasing as well. It's not a bad trade off. Can't complain for $12 and the quality.
I'd highly recommend it! 8/10 because of not being completely accurate.

Hey I have a few questions please about the Otterbox defender case :
- How much does it weight without the galaxy s3 in ? ( 80g, 100g ?)
- How thick is it ? ( add 1 cm to galaxy s3 or more ?)
- Does the screen protector built in can be replace by an other standard screen protect if it's damaged ?
Thank you.
Btw, it's look like a nice case !
Sorry for my english.

I've owned a few white phones in the past. After a year or so they just don't look so bright white anymore. Maybe that's not th case with the s3 but thwts why I personally stay away from white ones. That and white cars. They just highlight all imperfections and any dirt whatsoever.

Im not 100% sure how much it weighs. but it sure does add more weight to it. (I personally like heaviness of the phone)
Thickness is about twice as S3...
And screen protector is built in to the case itself... They are anti-reflection protector. You can take it out and use your own screen protector for problem.
The screen protector is there to be a protection from sand and etc...
I am not a fan of this screen protector, because it gives rainbow effect on the screen, but you'll be thanking this case when accident happens or when the sun is glaring on your phone.
I hope I've answered all your questions. Also, youtube has plenty video on the size comparison.

I never felt so dumb in my life. hahahaha
Yeah but in the pocket you feel it very well ^^ It's kinda big and take place.
I will see later if I buy it or not.

Thats what she said
I use the belt clip that came with Otterbox. It sure does look ridiculous on the belt... because it is damn big phone (although it's slim). But you know what, I've been told that the size matters
Anyways, you won't regret buying the Defender series... because Honestly, I think definer series offer better color options and it offers BETTER protection in real world.
Plus, $50 is pretty expensive, but getting from amazon... you can save about $20. so either way, you'll be able to save some money.
Keep us posted on which case you are going with... Also, I might buy SGP neo case, but I've been reading that these have problems with power/volume buttons... so I might skip and get the SGP thin air case instead. I will post up reviews and picture once all these cases arrive.
Also, I have Diztronic case as well (in matte blue). I will post a review and pictures up very soon!
Currently, I'm just with a cheap case from ebay and it fits quite well. I don't know if I'm ready to put 30/40 euros on a case by the way, quite expensive for a protection.
But don't worry, if I buy one, I will tell you
Edit: I just forgot to ask you something; some people said that there is a gap between the screen protector build in and the screen itself. Do you notice it or it was a random defect ?
Thanks.

I understand that you love you phone also, what color is your s3?
To answer your questions, yes that's definitely true. But, I have a extra screen protector on my phone itself.. (now I have to send it back for the dead pixels, and exchanging for the white one). I wouldn't go far as to say it's a defect, but the gap is VERY minimal. You'll be able to tell when you are just lightly tapping the touch screen. but it won't affect the sensitivity of the device itself.
If you don't like that, you can always remove the screen protector and use your own SP.
Also, I would like to know for those people who have voted for the poll.
Why did you guys vote for the white? instead of the blue?
Thanks for the answer.
I have a blue galaxy s3
Hi all,
Does anyone here own one of these cases? Specifically in light blue, yellow or orange?
I ask because, looking at pictures online, it appears the colour on the front of the case is a little lighter than the colour at the back. I'm a bit weird, I know, but if true, that would annoy me and put me off buying one.
I owned the official flip case for the Galaxy Note and the colour was the same front and back. Is this the case with the S3?
Many thanks.
I had one, the blue one. It wasn't bad, the color looked fine to me. I also have one on my s3 and it has the same design as the color on the phone itself.

I have one in blue and am not impressed. It looks nice, the color matches the phone and it protects the screen quite well but ultimately, the inferior quality will force me to return it. It's been on the phone for 4 days and the top is already starting to delaminate and bubble along the left edge. You can push it down and it will flatten out but the next time you fold it back to use the phone, it bubbles up again. It’s getting noticeably worse as the days go on.
I have one and it's not bad. Not delaminating like others
Due to a processing error I am in a temporary situation of owning both a BLACK and a WHITE Tab Pro 8.4 Unfortunately I will have to return one of them.
Problem is I still cannot make my mind up which looks better as they both look good. So I thought a quick poll here might help me (and others) decide.
I use a white tablet with a black case.
i was reading your thoughts and trouble deciding and find it interesting that you cant choose. i have never even considered white as an option for anything like this. not my tablets, laptops, headphones, cell phones, etc... always black for me. one reason is certainly because black will show less marks and possibly dirt than black will and second black just seems to fit and avoids any confusion that i wanted an accessory versus i needed it to get stuff done. When i see red, yellow, etc.. phones and its not a lady holding it i always think maybe that was the only color available and they had to get it right then LOL
My reason for going with black is because I find it distracting when watching a movie to have a white border around the screen. There is a reason televisions are black. I am surprised the white border doesn't bother people.

Same reason for me for going black
White seems to distract me more, so its more comfortable for me to use the black version.
I bought white and the exchanged it for a black one because the back of the black feels smoother and nicer to me.

Black. Same reason for the distractions around the screen and will show less when its dirty...

Black ever !!! with black cover !!! :good::good:
white is best , is something special eye catcher ,everybody has black but white make difference in the crowd
After a few more days use and since setting up this topic, I have decided to keep the BLACK one! The back cover of the black tablet feels better and has more grip. It looks more professional and possibly very slightly more masculine.
It seems that the black is favoured more, judging by the mini poll I set up (though there are clearly fans of the white).
Thanks for helping me out guys. Going forward: I hope this will also help anyone who is unsure on which colour to choose. Please continue to vote!
I prefer black phones and tablets.

When I bought my Note 8, white was the only color available. It didn't distract my movie watching in the least. You just get used to not paying any attention to the color, very quickly. It could be hot pink, and you would probably not even pay attention to it after a day.

That's really the main reason I bought black!
That, and I just felt like a change from my white Note 8.
I'm going for black. Bought it myself. Basically I'd imagine that the white pleather back will get dirty and ugly really quick.. On the other hand the black glass on the front will be a magnet as well, but it will at least wipe off. - My only pro for buying the white one would be that the colors would pop a bit more on it since I'd image a sorta "passepartout" effect from the white frame..
My two cents. Either way, it's a fine tablet, and it's not crucial to pick color really. Just go with what color you like the best. White or black. All my hifi and my telly is black, so white would be too odd for me.. I like it matching.

I am the original poster and the reasons I started the thread are clear at the beginning. I liked both colours and was looking to be swayed one way or another. It worked, so in my mind this has been a successful exercise. I favoured and kept the black one in the end (which is the most popular choice to date) so I am not sure why you think otherwise.
Either way isn't it fun to do a mini poll to provoke some subjective discussion?

Good choice. White phones and tabs get annoying when you see dirt in the cracks, not to mention how annoying white borderlines get when watching videos in the dark. I work in wireless and I'd bet 60% people think of that and buy black/blue phones for that very reasoning.
