[Q] Is the White E4GT thicker & heavier than the Black??

I'm getting my White Epic tomorrow, but I've been reading some comments on youtube about it, and it seems to be thicker and heavier according to some, anyone know anything about this?
I'll be able to deny or confirm this when I get mine tomorrow! My stepdad already has a Black Epic.

Well it's listed at 130 grams which equals 4.58561 oz, the black specs at 4.6 oz.
but I think the black one is just rounded up.
One also has to remember that visually lighter colors appear bigger so that may account for peoples perception of weight.

It probably has a smaller penis than the black one.

This was the best comment I have read on xda in a very long time.

Haha fat chicks always wear black. It slims things down. White is the opposite of black so it may appear to be bigger. I actually heard rumors going around that the camera didnt take as good of a picture because its back plate was white... Haha what morons come up with this stuff. Even better yet what silly people beleive this stuff? But some how they do... Lol

Maybe it's because of the blurry pictures, but the paint looks a bit dull. Other than that I can tell you took great care in painting it, I mean, it certainly looks like it is very well done.

Transparent back cover?

Hey there, I currently have the white S3 and I'm wondering if anyone knows where to get a transparent back cover to replace the white one that came with it. That would be awesome.

No idea but yeah, it would be awesome XD

HE is from Cleveland, English is like a second language there, so give him a break. how is he supposed to know the difference between back cover, and.. whatever he thought the rest of us are talking about?

you can use the samsung ultra slim covers just without the battery door of the phone, works well. tried it right now.

Closest thing I could find.

It isn't completely transparent, though. Just the outside edges.

I fully agree.
well, there is the one guy that made silicone molds of his back cover, and then made a real CF one... perhaps he can be perswaded to use his molds to make clear ones from some other material?

I think it would look cool but it would also get severely dirty and/or yellow

Well I already fear that my original white back cover will gain that effect anyway, not too worried about a transparent one doing that.

worst case scenario: ad a LITTLE heat (like a tiny bit at a time) just to soften a tiny bit, and then push it closer to the battery. not too much, so you don't melt anything.

here my, it's a Box Wave case with no back cover. i don't use it much cause the power button is to stiff and the side grip feel like sh*t

I remember back in the day, those clear candy bar shape phones with the flashing lights inside was all the rage lol .. these phones just dont look as cool inside lol

That sounds really good. I don't mind my surround being blue, but I do want the screen/soft keys black. I'd have to find a way to make the home button black too. Perhaps paint a white button black with black lexan body paint and swap at the same time.
