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.
Doesn't exist

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!

Anyone have a white galaxy nexus with a white decal on the screen to make the whole device white? I wanted to see how it would look

Sorry that I can't find it directly but someone has posted it before in a thread in the accessories section. I believe the thread had something to do with skins and towards the end of the thread someone posted it. Its been awhile though. I'll post it if I find it . Looked good.

I know of a few sites that offer white decals to go on the front of the phone but unfortunately though you would have to buy the back side too. So if you got a white phone already then you would have an extra skin laying around.

A couple that pop into my head are:
http://www.skinit.com <~ they deal with the verizon models I found out the hard way, but I believe you have to make it as a custom skin so it may cost you some more money.
http://www.decalgirl.com/skins/95096/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Skin-Solid-State-White <~ the gsm model fits here. I am not sure with them though if it has a screen protector built into the decal or not. I have never ordered from them before.
Edit: It has been confirmed in the thread that it in fact does NOT include a screen protector.

I purchased the white TPU bumper that was $5 for the Verizon GNEX since the white housing is not available yet... also purchased the LTE white battery cover on eBay along with the white decal that is similar to the one above but that is the only item that I am waiting for to arrive since the owner took a couple days longer to ship from south Korea but will post up pics when the decal arrives but so far I like the black and white two tone look

Btw did you get the all white bumper with the white rubber too, or black? I was wondering if that white rubber gets discolored easily.

to my discovery the white decal does cover the led notification light, b/c the company decided not make it an edge to edge decal, thus not leaving them with much room for a whole for the led light. I was going to post pics but the bumper had messed up an waiting on a replacement.
Decalgirl does NOT include a screen protector, but they are high quality skins I will be buying a white skin from them when my white nexus comes next week
Thanks for the idea OP haha

well here are the pics, finally. the only downfall is the black rubber part which defeats the purpose of having a white phone. I saw an all white bumper but had to be bought in bulk.

I saw this article over a week ago on their Facebook page and I completely forgot about it. Just found it again and checked XDA and saw no post about it.
Had you guys seen this?
I'm in love with that Garnet Red. Hell, even the Brown looks nice.
I wish there was a way to pull the casing off our phone and install a new one and I wish Samsung would sell the casing as well.
Well, I could buy that Garnet I wanted...

I kind of wish I would have bought white simply because the aluminum cases and such mingle much better with the white.
I found replacement front panels in garnet for under $30. I'm sure I could find a back case too....but I have no idea about the body itself.

Isn't the whole front of the phone a single piece? Or is that just the screen and digitizer?

Screen and digitalizer. Then of course you have the back battery cover.
So, I'd have a front garnet screen and a garnet back cover with blue side housing (I don't think you can replace the housing...and if you can, it wouldn't be easy) with blue volume/power/menu buttons (those wouldn't be hard to replace though).
If I had bought white, the side housing is aluminum silver color, which the garnet one is as well. It'd be an easy transformation.
Sucks
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.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
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.
I have gone for grey... picked it up yesterday...very good choice

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...
Hi,
I own a blue Galaxy S3. Unfortunatelly, it fell down and hit a metal case with one of its sides.-> Glas broken.
I looked around a bit and found the possibility to buy the front glas as a replacement part. Did any of you allready bought one of those and is it the same quality as original?
The second question: If I have to replace the screen, I may also replace the complete housing to mod my device to a different color (Ive seen blue white and red at ebay). Do you know, where or when I may find the 4 housing parts for grey or black edition?
Thanks,
cmoe
