Hi,
for those who purchased Titanium Bronze version, how do you like it or would you rather prefer black version if there was one?
I probably would have gotten black if it had been available. That being said I originally ordered a black case but changed my mind and got the Titanium Bronze case and am quite happy with both. Nearly everything I own is black and sometimes a little change is nice.

Bronze looks similar to black, and I think I may prefer the bronze. The gold trim is nice..
I hate the cheap looking gold. Its tacky. I wouldnt mind the titanium if it had silver trim.
I definitely would have preferred black, but it really doesn't bother me. Got the matching case, which is fantastic.
I love the titanium. Go to a store and check it out. It really is personal preference.
The titanium bronze with the official book case is very nice. I love the look. The color is not overstated and works very well. Happy I went with it over boring old white or black(I know it's not available.)
BTW, I really can't say enough good things about their official book sleeve case. It's incredibly thin and is well designed with magnets. Finally have a case that doesn't double the girth of the tablet. It's too expensive, but that's how it is.
Titanium by a mile. Especially if your a movie buff. The white bezel is a complete distraction at night while watching movies. The darker display makes you feel like your in a theater
Titanium is the color of the back. Bronze is the color of the edge. Not gold.
I do like the dark color scheme, but given a choice I would have preferred dark, deep, matte black all around, without metallic accents.

Fed up with white everywhere and as there was no black i went for Bronze. In fact when in the store even the wife preferred the Bronze so i went for it. Glad i did as i think if they only use it on this model it gives the Tab S a more standout quality that 'Apple' white does not, leaving the Tab S in with the rest of the crowd.
Wasn't impressed with the bronze color on the tablet. Looks kind of like a gray brown non color to me. However I do like it on the book cover. So have white tab with bronze cover.
My slight hypochondria LOVES the bronze. I'm assuming that it is a coppery alloy and is naturally anti-microbial. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_properties_of_copper

At first I was happy with this as it was a gift. I liked the bronze because Samsung never had this color on any of their tablets which makes it unique. Then I kinda regretted it and wanted the white one for the home feel and how immaculate it looked but now I'm appreciating the bronze to go with my otterbox defender case which looks great. The major point of appreciation lied within it's main purpose which is media consumption wherein movies and video playing is this device's highlight. If I got white then watching a movie could be distracting at night and may throw you off. I could have gone for the black though to maximize it's strength point. But I do love this bronze now instead of the white one and I'll stick to it.

Everyone thinks I have like a really expensive tablet because of the bronze lol. I got the bronze because my dad hates how white devices look and it matched the things we owned(tvs and phones).

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.

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 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
The phone is conspicuous enough without it being "Apple white" as well.. I would have preferred a dark one. So I ordered a cheap black gel case until I got the skin decals in the mail today.....
Since I did not want to go through the trouble of a trade I found this site and they have some very nice skin decals. Especially since I don't like cases of any kind (or "screen protectors' for that matter).
They have matching lock screen jpg backgrounds as well (although I didn't go that far). The skins apply VERY easy and no bubbles and cheap enough to replace when they get eventually get messd up from carrying in pockets.

Yeah Gelaskins do look better and the customization and the ability to use your own artwork or photos is cool, but my phone is not really a fashion statement. In fact I want to keep it low key which is the reason i am using a dark skin..(makes the phone appear smaller) I just wanted to cover up the white as cheap as possible and keep it reversible.
Thanks for the site! I was looking a Gelskins myself, but 15 bucks seemed a little steep for some ink and gloss, and 2 weeks shipping? No thanks. I got myself 2 for the price of one at decalrus...mad awesome!

Somewhat off-topic...
I originally searched High and Low for a White International Note, and was willing to pay a premium. Just when I was about to pull the trigger, I saw a local guy selling a Black Note on here for a decent price... ended picking up the Black and buying a White AT&T Note on a free upgrade my dad had - boy was I glad... In pics, the white looks gorgeous but for everyday use, i'm glad I ended up with a black!

I can hook you up with this lol, however right now I am at work and I cant use my phone to take pictures of my phone. Ill get back to you later tonight.
I stumbled upon mytrendyphone (just add www and .com) whilst searching for skins for the Note, since i don't want to order things from overseas.
just thought i should let you guys know
I have used many gelaskins on many different devices. Their quality is the best. Decalgirl I would rate second best. Plenty of choices.
Another thing I like about the decalrus and decal girl ones are the full front covers, and not just two bars. Then, they also don't have the side stickies, and middle button one. Oh well, can't win 'em all!
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.

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
Well, it was actually a demo unit in my local 'Carphone Warehouse' but OMG!!!
Trust me folks, however many pictures of the Note 10+ that you've seen, nothing prepares you for the sheer beauty of this device, absolutely stunning even sans the punchole.
I managed to persuade the sales agent to show me the back of the 'Aura Glow' model and I swear I saw an angel smiling at me through the shards of heavenly coloured lights that seemed to reach into my soul.
Anybody that covers up the back of this phone with a non clear case, should be branded as a heretic and stoned with 'iPhones'.
I'm mustering every ounce of self discipline to stop myself from running back into the shop and liberating every Note 10+ in stock, but I have my family and goldfish to think of, so roll on Friday.
You are wasted on these forums. Might have to take a trip to CPW myself, armed with sunglasses.

I'll probably regret getting Aura Blue instead of Aura Glow but I figured everyone would get the Aura Glow so I wanted to be different. The videos I have seen of the Glow are amazing. The blue does look pretty amazing to though.

LOL - well said - me, personally I am mostly interested in the beauty of the screen and the power underneath - I played around with a Note 10 Plus at ATT the other day and was blown away as you are. Friday can't come soon enough.
I am kind of a boring guy - I got the Aura Black - which seems like a fancy way of saying it is a Black Phone - but just the same, it is the SCREEN I am most interested - and what I will be looking at nearly 100 percent of the time....

I saw the black, blue, and glow at Best Buy on display. Glow is more muted in person than it is in videos. It's the color I went with, just because it was so different than any of my previous phones. My last two Notes were blue.
But. I will say the Aura Blue is gorgeous. It's not just a flat blue like the Note 9 or even the glossy blue of the Deep Sea Blue Note 8. It color shifts just a tad from dark blue to Royal Blue depending on the light.

The black is anything but plain black. It's almost a charcoal in some light. It's a very good looking phone. It almost had me wishing I had stuck with the 512GB instead of opting for the 256 to get the glow. But I've had a few black phones before, and glow is so different.

I agree, so what would the best clear case be? I wish they made the OtterBox Pursuit series for the Note line but they don't. I was thinking about getting the "Ghostek Atomic Slim" but I've read people said they had reception issue because of the Aluminum bumper. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VJJMD25/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_1-jxDbKBJBJH4

I like 'ultra thin' cases, I find that even most cases touted as being 'slim' do add some bulk. Since I'm very careful with my phones these are adequate for my needs, and the once or twice that they've been dropped (by other people), no damage was incurred.
I have this one already, waiting to go on my phone the second it's unpacked.

I like a bulky case for more protection.

For me, bulky cases hide the original design of the phone too much, which sort of defeats one of the factors that made me buy it in the first instance.
It's like buying a Lamborghini and then covering it with thick armour plating because you're afraid of scratching the paintwork.

To each their own. I dont purchase technology for the looks, I purchase it for the performance and what it can actually do. Sure I purchased the Aura Glow version and I'd like to show it off with a see through case, but its the big beautiful screen and camera performance that matters most to me.

Thanks for your opinion.
Doesn't sans mean without?
I originally went with Aura Glow then decided on black since I will be putting a skin on it anyways. I always hated how the blue accents limited my skin choices on my note 9. Even though I loved the color itself.
Too bad they don't have the Aurora glow in 512gb version so I got the black one because that's the only one with that size storage. I find it kind of lame that they did that. But oh well I'm getting a rugged case anyways because I don't want it to break like my note 8 lol. I also find it dumb that they are going to release the 5G versión for TMobile later on ?*
I always get black phones. There is something about shiny or light colored phones.
It's the camera. I use my phone a lot at live music gigs with all the lights and stuff going on.
I always have it in a case anyways.
I agree, the "glow" is like a big diffraction grating spewing rainbow colors like a big bag of skittles just exploded. Like an air hockey table, it's a novelty that wears off fast.
If you see the glow, you know the phone has "only" 256GB of storage so there's that.
I was hesitating to pre-order until I saw the demos at best buy the day after the announcement. Went with the unlocked aurora blue trading in my wifes s8+ and getting the 200 dollar credit on the galaxy watch. Watch is coming today and phone tomorrow, can't wait.
I decided to go with black 256gb 5G, 512gb in 5G isn't available in UK through Samsung.com. Just checked tracking info, it says delivery is due tomorrow (Thursday) was expecting Friday so can't sleep anymore now.

When did it ship?

I'll probably regret getting Aura Blue instead of Aura Glow but I figured everyone would get the Aura Glow so I wanted to be different. The videos I have seen of the Glow are amazing. The blue does look pretty amazing to though.

You will be in the another group, the group of ones who want to be different

No no. Mine is the Aura silver and 512GB. Colours differ from country to country also carrier to carrier etc.
