If you hang around on the 360 forums on Reddit, you may have seen my post about my 360. Originally, I had the black 360 with black band, then one day I tripped and took a chunk out of the metal, looked awful. Bought a touch up pen, looked awful. So I made do. Until last week. I was thinking about sanding and polishing my 360 and asked some Redditors and they said it'd be difficult, but me and my friend did some heavy masking and it came out looking sexy. http://imgur.com/a/qrKAk there's an album of the photos, I'm gonna polish it some more, maybe make it almost chrome.
How did you do that? I recently picked up a black one cause they were on sale for $149. Didn't have the silver in stock so I got the black. Wanted the silver. ..if that's not to hard I might try it
I recently bought a silver one for the day's neither my black, nor gold urbane go with my work clothes. Black always goes with my insomnia programming clothes.

Wow, it really looks amazing! I'm tempted to try this myself but sadly I don't have the tools and skills. It'd be awesome to see a little step-by-step how-to.

Basically we removed the straps, masked the rear, screen and button and starting using some Wet & Dry 800 sandpaper, came off really easily, like it was a coating. Then used a bit of autosol polish yesterday (the pictures were taken last week) and it looks beautiful, I just say be careful.

Looks great, I like the way the black is still in the recesses, looks better imo than the silver version.

I have a good friend who decided to help me out and do some custom painting.
The paint is very low odor and after about 48 hours, there is hardly any lasting odor of the paint. Each door will be custom painted once the order is placed.
There is a purple, white, hammered copper, hammered silver, and a rubber black.
The rubber black is quite nice in that you could set on your dash and it does not slip easily, unless you drive like me
I am working on a glow in the dark cover as well. That should be done this week sometime. The first attempt did not go well and showed some markings that honestly I was not happy with.
What are your thoughts?
mmm... i got a blue evo door from there. Arrived with a bunch of the tabs broken. Oh, and with a scratch.
nice selections! i ordered clear n yellow before and fits very well. at first had some minor problems but with directions provided, it was easy. i may be interested in the rubber black. glow in the dark sounds..fun
Anybody try RIT Dye? Worked like a charm on the touch pro...
i think the paint jobs on these look amazing.
however
with absolutely no offense to joey, who spent a lot of time designing and working on the case, they have a sizeable gap between the new back and the case. its isn't too big but it is big enough to let dirt/dust/pocket lint, etc, into the phone and for that i cant get any of these.

you should send me a picture of the tabs so I can send you another one. As for the scratch, thats odd because they all come in plastic wrap and a bubble envelope.

Also no offense to Joey but I had to steer clear of these because of the gap. Active lifestyle with my phone living in my pocket means lots of dust and lint to contend with. If something changes and these gaps get fixed up, I will be on board for several of these doors.

The case I tried was a gel type case, it worked good over the door.
So is there plans for a new door? Same stuff without rails or center lip and no gaps? I would also like red without the shiny finish. Something like stock black's material would be perfect. Your doing well from the looks of it.

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.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
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!

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'm wondering which color to get, I'm liking the light blue one. what are all of you getting/pre-ordered?
Ice Blue mainly cause it's unique. Black and white are too common.
Sent from my Sprint Galaxy S5.
I chose the carbon because i wanted to do something different than what i usually did. Its my first dark colored phone in a long time.
The blue looks unique. Hoping it's the same soft touch grippy material like the N5. It seems, typically with cases and phones, that only black offers the soft touch/feel

Pretty sure all three colors have the soft touch coating. I've watched probably the first 10 YouTube videos you get when searching Nexus 5X and all those hands on never mentioned any of the colors being glossy.

I hope so, although not a deal breaker for me. I never held a white or red N5 but heard they were not of the same soft touch grippy material on the black which I still have.
The spigen and ringke slim cases were the same way. All their colors except black were not the soft touch. Their black cases are. I have a few N5, GS6, & N6 cases in both spigen and ringke different colors and this is the case.

Black is soft touch. White and Ice is more plastic, like the white n5. My source is a user on reddit who felt the dummy phones in Japan that was on display. It's possibly accurate
I got black in case it's the only one with the "true" soft touch coating as LG and Google did with the Nexus 5. However in Anandtech's Hands On they said that white and black had the same material, which is bare polycarbonate and no soft touch unfortunately. They did not get hands on with the Ice blue but I imagine it's the same.
So they should all look and feel similar to the Nexus 5 white and red, which means less grip but also less finger prints.
Also black seems to have the shorter shipping times in my region, looks like more people are going with white and the new blue option compared with 2 years ago.

I talked to a Google rep, and he said the material for all colors is the same, so thats a pretty good sign that they all have the same finishing touch
I originally ordered the white but cancelled and switched to the blue after seeing more pictures and videos of both. The white one just looks cheaper to me. It's not that the blue looks more lux but the color at least gives it some character to help offset the plastic build.
I just went with Carbon.
Once you go black....ah nevermind.
Anyway, Phil at Android central said the material was a little different feeling to the 2013 nexus 5 but he wasn't sure if it was because it really is different or if it was because his nexus 5 was just so old and used. Either way, the fact he was sort of wishy-washy on it means it probably feels pretty good/similar to the 2013 model.
I ordered the Quartz on launch day.. Then last week I started thinking the Carbon looked really good so I ordered that one as well. I will return whichever I like least. I thought about the ice one but in the end decided it looked a bit feminine in my opinion (at least from the pics/videos of it)

If you like Ice, don't be afraid to rock it. I am buying the Ice and I don't give a f*** if it looks girly to someone else. I would rock the Rose Gold too and it actually looks nice @EeZeEpEe. Blue is my favorite color so having a different shade of it is no problem to me. In hands-on pics and videos, it doesn't look bad. A commercial on a TV will look different because of how it's calibrated

Hi guys!
I am torn between the silver and the black version. Almost all my phones have been black, I had only one silver until now .
I really love the look of my black Note 7, wondering if the V30 will look the same...
So, if anyone got the black version, how do you like it, is it really glossy, how does it compare with a black S/Note Samsung phone?
Thank you !
Bought through T-Mobile so I didn't have a choice. They only have silver. I would have loved to have had that blue. I personally wouldn't do black for fear of it heating up faster if I have it on my dash for navigation. If you never have your phones where they can heat up and hit their thermal cut, black looks great.

Ah, my bad. For some reason I was thinking the blue. But no, I still haven't seen the black one either. I just know my V20 in grey was having enough thermal issues on my dash this summer and couldn't imagine what would have happened if it were black. I was also running streaming audio and maps out of it at the same time though but I don't think the dark color in sun helped me any.

yeah, sorry, hit reply on wrong comment.
Got my black V30. Haven't even turned it on yet but this device is gorgeous!
VZW had silver but I like it. Front is all black - it's only the sides and back that are silver. Great looking device.

Is it glossy ? Really glossy? How about fingerprints ?

It is glossy. But I love the look of it. I wouldn't say it even feels like glass, more like plastic. Mines going back because it's got a dead pixel on screen so that's annoying.
No choice, silver. Looks good though. I have a Dbrand on the way that I might not use. Silver looks good.

I think that's the first actual "live" shot I've seen of the black. Man it looks sleek. The beast in the background looks cool too.
I wanted the black one but T-Mobile only carried the silver. I'm starting to like it as I use no case. It doesn't show the fingerprints as much as the black model, which I looked at in (I think) was an AT&T store.
