What was the reason that made you choose a Black One S instead of the Grey one, or vice-versa !!!
Was it the looks, the coating ......... ???
I want to pre-order the One S but did not have the chance to see the phones in real to make a decision. ( release date in the Netherlands 25-27 April )
I only got Grey because thats what was sent to me lol. But i like it, and if i had a choice i probably would have chose grey.
It feels really nice and smooth ( a bit too smooth) Its hard to keep a grip on it, I really need a case for it, I can see me dropping it within the next few weeks.
But i think grey is the better colour, It has the blue camera ring which looks awesome. The coating is like Gun metal its just the best IMO.
Black with the red camera ring is just pure eye candy in my eyes.

Can someone who held both tell us something about how they feel?
I'm thinking about changing my pre-order to the grey version...
Sent from my GT-S5660 using XDA
T-mobile Germany simply doesn't have the grey ones - so I had to order the black one. Got it and started loving the way it looks even switched off. It's still a black beauty.
I had to take the pic without flashlight so its not too good.
Maybe I am not the best person to answer your question cos I don't have either black or grey one yet, but I did play with both of them couple of times already.
Black is, simply awsome IMO, perfect colour nice feel in hand, only downside is the material chipping problem so waiting for a final solution before getting one.
However, if black is not an option, grey is not bad at all, personally I don't mind the colour of the body just the ring colour of the camera looks a bit not my style but I am sure I can be used to it.
Yes, due to differnt material, the grey one is a bit slippery in hand indeed so may need a case unlike the black one which just sticks to your palm.

Black here, like black and also wanted to see if i could get the color to fade..

Black, because it feels better and T-Mobile Germany doesn't have any of the grey.
Holded the grey one and it's colder and not so stoney in the hand, more like metal

Now I just want the black one more! Hope htc is gonna figure this out soon..

I thank you all, for the reply .
The One S and X are the first phones since the Desire ( I had some and seen allot ) that brought back the feeling:
"I want this mother f...... "
The HOX is to big and I don't have much trust in T3, so I've decided for HOS.
This is the impression I get from the photos.
The grey one looks more stylish on the front view. The black screen pumps out the grey corners which is really eye caching and more stylish.
But I don't like the back. The difference between the alu. body and the plastic covers ( top and bottom ) is to big , while at the black one is more in one tone.
And than is that MAO "thing", which I hope that HTC will get the grip on it and fix it.
Anyway, I decided to wait two more weeks to get one. The release date here, or the 28th when I go to Germany.
Thanks again.

Got a black at first but after "paint" chipping problems got it exchanged for a Grey model...

Which one do you like better in terms of feeling and overall look ?
Initially I ordered the black ceramic but changed it to the grey metal version when I heard about those chipping problems.
Mine will be shipped at the end of April (27th) , so should I risk to take the black one ? For me colour doesn't really matter, as long as it's durable and feels good in the hand...
Both look good, but the black feels more like plastic...
Are they both grippy and fingerprint-free or is there any difference?
The grey one on those pictures looks really weird, I thought the metal was more like dark grey instead of light (brownish) grey.
Maybe its the pic itself, Its like a gun metal grey, I have it and i love it..
I prefer it over the black one, Because it looks more rugged. As said above the black feel a bit 'plasticky'
As for fingerprint, The screen is just like any other really, It does show up finger marks, But the back doesnt.
Ive got a screen protector on mine, Its 'finger mark proof' It works well too ! A screen protector is a must have for me for any phone. I dont believe anything is 'scratch poof'
The Grey version is a little too smooth, Its hard to grip (well it is for me, My palms dont sweat - a result from a previous operation)
I dont know how the black feels in hand but overall the grey is the better version
At first, I wanted the black one (I like the design of it), but then I heard about the problems with the micro arc oxidation, so I decided to take the blue one. The performance is very good, it fits well in my pocket, I like it
I wanted the grey one from the start. I know how anodized aluminum feels like and I love that type of material.
But the store that I went to only had the black one and I just couldn't wait. Like others said it feels kind of like plastic. That soft rubberized plastic that they also used on the HD2.
Only when you knock on it, scratch your nail on it or when its cold, do you know thats its metal.
I'm not sure I'm just getting whatever T-Mobile gets first.

I highly recommend them. They worked flawlessly on my Evo. And I had the Full Screen Protector and Carbon Fiber on my Evo. And I plan on purchasing for my Epic too.
http://phantomskinz.com/samsungepic4gchromaticsgalaxys.aspx
Also here is a coupon for 30% off. summersale2010
I hear that Phantomskinz are easily scratched. I know that they will still protect the phone even if they do get scratched, but then you still end up looking at a scratched skin for as long as you have it. Have you had any problems with that?
PS' site labels the product as "self-healing" from scratches, but from what I've read it seems as though even a moderately large/deep scratch manages to stay put. Other than that, PS skins are supposed to be great, but that was the reason I was initially turned off from them.

They are self healing. I had 2 scratches on my Evo from dropping it and they disappeared in like 2 or 3 days. And whenever it looked a little blurry I would just use some polishing compound and rub it and it came back to a new state.
I have tried many of these covers and phantom skinz are the best in terms of not even noticing it is on the device. Also they are slick and generally you just forget they are even there. Bestskinsever and invisible shields almost always have a slightly bumpy texture or graininess that I could never use.

1+ Exactly.
Just purchased mine. Matte version for me though, I hope it's as nice of quality as people say. It was a touch decision, but since wrapsol hasn't released their skin yet and neither has Stenheil, I made the leap
Use the coupon code "summersale2010" to get 30% off! That made it a nice deal.
Gonna purchase a set but quick question , Is it ok to use without a pouch or case , it wont lift from keeping the phone in my pockets..
I would like to know if there are lifting issues also.

does it protect the screen too? i watched some of the installatioin vids, and it doesnt look like it covers the screen...
just curious to those who ordered, which skin did you get? the black carbon looks cool because it blends in with the black, i noticed on the white carbon that it does not cover the entire back with some black spots showing.
i hate applying skins on phones with curves its a pita

I did it on the Evo and it looked AWESOME. So I'm guessing it will look nice here too.
I personally went with the Matte one because... well, matte is a great finish and I'm hoping it's a cut above the clear case when it comes to glare/reflections. Oh, and the chromatic are just too ostentatious for me.
Haha I got the carbon fiber though now I want other colors when they come out.
Has anyone managed to get the bottom back corners on in any satisfactory fashion? I guess I must've stretched them out trying to get them to go down...took me a while to realize I'd have to prioritize the outside edge and let the inside flatter stuff overlap or hit at weird angles if they have to.
Has anyone used gadgetwarranty before? If it really is as easy as they make it seem, I like knowing that if this falls off in a week because of some raised edges that I can get a new one for $3 + stamp.
I got my back on nearly perfectly, however I'm noticing what I think are stretch marks from using their application tool Luckily, the internet special gave me 2 skins so I get another chance! I'll probably apply the second back today with great care and see how it looks.
On a side note, I bought the matte finish skin and applied that to the screen as well. To anyone thinking of buying this finish, it's wonderful but DO NOT apply the matte screen protector. The skin kit comes with 2 matte and 2 clear screen covers as well as 2 full body matte covers. I suggest using the clear ones as the matte screen covers massively distorts the beautiful screen.
For $18, 4 screen covers and 2 full body covers with lifetime warranty is a pretty great deal!
chromatic skin
heres the lime green skin that i purchased from them and i really like it. im gonna try out the carbon fiber next time. here are some pics for you guys to see.

But I agree. The carbon fiber is a odd texture and looks too slippery.

But the lime green chromatic does feel really good. soft feel, sticks on quick and smooth. It also comes with 2 anti-fingerprint screen protectors which i am digging but got couple air bubbles i cant get rid of. still trying though
My girl ended up getting a One X as her upgrade from a 2+ year old BlackBerry. It was between that or the iPhone and I think she made the correct choice! Anyways, she has the grey model and I have the white one. I'm usually a white guy myself when it comes to phones but I must admit the grey one looks really slick. Something about it just looks better than the white one to me. Almost makes me wanna switch.
What do you guys think about the grey model? Am I just trippin?
I went to rogers yesterday looking for grey and they only had white, and said they would only be getting white

I've replaced my sensation unibody 3 times already to keep it looking nice. Have a white and grey one. Its the complete housing too. Comes off with one push and only thing left is LCD and motherboard lol. They are about $25 on ebay. This hox AIO design is truly gonna suck in a few months...... To me thats the only thing i hate..and its a big hate. HTC Please go back to removable covers, replaceable batteries and sd cards.

Yeah I've noticed that the grey shows oils and such a lot more than the white one.
The best part of grey is that it hides the sensors and speakers making the phone look sleeker. The camera lens surround in brown makes it less prominent. The display and body both being dark also makes it look smaller when you compare them side-by-side.
And a warning since the international version's been out longer, the matte finish does scratch and can be worn away by friction letting the shiny base material show through. This is a phone that needs a case.

Gonna apply a little logic here. If you use a case to cover up the matte that you don't want to lose, whats the point? You keep it covered so you don't get to enjoy it, ever.. Then one day you sell it and some other person gets to enjoy it?
Just use it. When it gets ugly then cover it up.
The white version looked really cheap to me when I played with it in the store. I think the charcoal looks a lot slicker.

I have the grey one and I do think it looks slick, but there's just something about that white one... it's sexy as hell. The only reason I got the grey one is I know that over time the white one is going to get scuffed up, especially with the way I toss my phones around. I hate using cases.
there was a white Beats by Dre headphone on display at AT&T that had the same finish as the white HOX. Couldn't of been there longer than a few weeks and it was filthy!!! I wanted white but dang it is going to look nasty in less than a year.
Guys guys guys... best wear prevention you can ever invest in, is a simple pouch for the phone to rest on when it's on any surface and for it to hide inside of whilst in your pocket. That's what I did, and I haven't had even a bit of the finish come off and I've been playing with it nonstop since last Friday. Very cost effective to, the pouch I got was literally 3 dollars shipped to my house from HK

Pretty cool vid.
I think the best option for either grey or white is the full body invisible shield from Skinomi. I actually think it makes the phone look even cooler, which I had previously thought impossible.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I already have a bit of wear on my grey one on the natural wear points (about a quarter inch to the left and right of the top edge of the speaker). Really only noticable when I'm intentionally looking for the scuffs but doubtless in a year they will be quite worn down.
But really, who cares. It won't be new forever and some wear gives it a bit of character.
Has anyone noticed that the Hula cases sold on the Case-Mate site look different from the ones on the Moto site? The secondary/accent colors on the cases at Case-Mate complement the base color, whereas the ones on the Moto site are black or grey. Can those of you who own one of these let us know where they bought theirs from and which secondary/accent color they got?
Also, how well does this case protect the front and back of the phone? Any scratches/scuffs down the back? I have the chalk (matte white) colored back so this is an obvious concern.
Thanks!

I bought mind on the motorola site, and i have the navy one. The secondary color, royal blue, complements the navy color of the bumper.
As for protection, don't expect it to help protect the back or front a lot. There is a lift when placing the phone down. If you drop the phone, it will protect the edges, but if the back or front part of it lands on rocks or debris or whatever, then you better cross your fingers nothing cracks or scratches lol

The back is navy. The trim is royal blue. And the hula case does blend in nicely to me. My favorite color is blue, so my opinion may be a bit biased

I ordered the cabernet bumper to go with my chalk back/white front phone. The cabernet bumper has raspberry colored acccents but definitely did not appear that way on the website. I ended up returning the chalk back for a slate colored back so now the bumper is useless because I don't like the way it looks with the slate.

Your pictures made my color decision so much easier. LOL. I ordered the exact same color
Ordered one on 12/1 and this morning got a cancellation email as they are out of stock. Pretty lame as it was clearly in stock when I ordered...
For those that have this bumper, how easily is it put on and taking off?
The first time I put it on it felt fairly stiff to try and squeeze the phone in, and I was sure I'd never get it off again when I tried. However, if you just push one of the bottom corners off it pops out fairly easily, and after a few attempts it should slip in and out easily enough. It certainly isn't going to come off by accident at any rate.
Another Black/Navy/Blue combo with Navy Hula Case. Ordered with the Cyber Monday code.

i really wanted the white one, but it was out of stock. i ended up purchasing the teal one for my white/bamboo phone and the pink one for her black phone. IMO the pink one looks decent on the black, far better than the teal looks on my bamboo model. the light teal color looks nice, but the dark muddy teal accent color looks dingey/dirty IMO. it looks good on the screen side, but when i have it bamboo side up, i don't like it.
with the bumper i expected it to feel better in my hand, based on the reviews i read online. to me the phone feels much nicer to hold without the bumper on it. i'm not sure if it's because it makes the phone a little wider, or if it's just not as comfortable because it feels like i'm only touching the edge when i hold it now. it seems like the naked moto's ergonomics are going to be hard to beat.
i'm contemplating buying a thinner soft clear case of some sort and converting it into a bumper by removing the back with an xacto blade. seeing as i've broken 2 screens already i definitely need something on there, i don't think this bumper is it though.
edit: i added a third picture. it just dawned on me that i own a signshop and i can wrap the bumper in whatever color i feel like for the day. it took about 5 minutes to make the teal on the bamboo into white. tomorrow i'll try black or maybe a dark silver to match the bezel around the logo.
I'm using the defender and diztronic case and I like both but they both take away from my leather back

Black is in stock on case mates site! Just ordered mine.
I'm thinking of returning my x and going back to ios now for some reason
the soft bright teal on my case posted above now looks yellowed and dingy. i tried dish soap, windex, and 409. it still looked dirty, so i moved up to real chemicals. first mineral spirits, then denatured alcohol, lacquer thinner, and brake cleaner. it's better now, but the teal still looks yellowed.
has anyone found a product to clean the hula bumper?
Black is in Stock on Amazon too. Just got mine. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NR...5_QL70&keywords=case+mate+hula+moto+x+2nd+gen
Hey all!
I'm about to order my Xiaomi Mi4C and I can't decide what color to choose, white or black. I'm usually going with black on all my devices, but now that I'm looking at available cases and I see pictures of a white phone with a black case, I think it looks really nice.
Worth mentioning is that only the backside is white, and the front is still black. So when you're looking at the phone from the front, all you see will be black. But if you look at the phone from behind, you'll see 90% black and some nice details of white.
Below are two images that show what I mean:
http://i.imgur.com/Ekt1Dtg.jpg

Anyone mind helping me out with this? What would you do, as a guy that normally goes all black?
Hi,
Where did you find this case?
Found it the Nillkin logo was to small.
Just be aware that "black" isn't really black but more of a dark grey colour. I think it looks good and prefer my phones to be unobtrusive but that's my taste - you may differ.
As for the case, I got the official case from xiaomidevice here. It seems to be genuine and has a nice feel, softer than the polycarbonate back of the actual phone, not unlike the N5. It seems genuine and fits the phone perfectly though it does not protect the top or bottom front edges as it snaps on. This essentially means it's also a Mi 4i cover as it does not have hole specially designed to not cover the IR blaster.
Hope that helps!

Thanks a lot for your information! Ok, I see. Do you mind uploading a photo or two of your phone with the case on? I would greatly appreciate it. All photos I can find is with a white phone, so it would be interesting to see how it looks like with the "black/dark gray" phone and a black case.
I bought a white one because of the same picture ha, the black case fits really well with the white accents .
Also like wingsfortheirsmiles mentioned the mi4c black is more grey than black. If you're planning on using case most of the time I would go with a white phone and a black case
edit:
Here's a pic i found of the black phone with the black case

Ah cool kevinnol found a pic, I've just taken some pretty bad shots (sorry) ironically on my soon-to-be-sold Mi 4i: http://imgur.com/a/SxsVL
Haha @kevinnol, what a coincidence Yea, I will probably use a case most of the time. Thanks for your input and for finding that photo
Thanks @wingsfortheirsmiles for uploading photos of your phone! To be honest, it looks really nice and clean with the "black" phone as well. Uh... I might as well just flip a coin to decide what color to take
Considering I have a black phone right now, and most of my other stuff is black, it might be nice with a change.

Hey all!
I'm about to order my Xiaomi Mi4C and I can't decide what color to choose, white or black. I'm usually going with black on all my devices, but now that I'm looking at available cases and I see pictures of a white phone with a black case, I think it looks really nice.
Worth mentioning is that only the backside is white, and the front is still black. So when you're looking at the phone from the front, all you see will be black. But if you look at the phone from behind, you'll see 90% black and some nice details of white.
Below are two images that show what I mean:

Anyone mind helping me out with this? What would you do, as a guy that normally goes all black?

This image is take with neon light. I'll take one with sunlight when I have the time.
big thanks, i definitely take the blue one ^^
I was wondering for the long time, for the first time I wanted blue one but finally decided for Black (brown).
I only regret it is not pure black, it would be better without changing the color to brown, but anyway already ordered.
I think Z5 Green color was better than current blue + the back was the best ever created among all the phones for me, matt premium glass without fingerprints and really nice feeling. I hope they will turn back to this matt glass back in future phones. I loved it in my Z5.

Cheers. But please note that under normal indoor lightning the blue will look a little dark.

IMO the brown look better (more special) than pure black. And the current blue is a little bit too dark.
Personally I loved Z5 black(Gun metal? )color
Actually got my note 7 replacement today in blue coral and i gotta say i was quite disappointed. The blue on gold trim is a nice combo but overall it feels very plastic-ish. Not as premium as the black onyx. Holding it on my hand and iphone 7 plus in the other, i could tell right away which one has better build. Hopefully Forest Blue XZ i ordered wont be in the same boat with note 7
I was also confused to get blue or black.. I saw both in the showroom. Black is more elegant but the sides on the black feel cheap plasticky black and the blue looks extremely good under artificial lights plus its a exciting new color. SO bought the forest blue.
Would out a protective case soon so would not matter much:silly:

Pictures do not do it justice. It looks awesome. Better than Sony images.
I got the Blue color and the only thing I can say its beautiful. You won't regret it.
Snap. I've had black since z1c, z3c, z5c, Sony X Performance.
The Sony xz blue is a refreshing change with the same look and feel of a darker phone.
Sent from my F8131 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I got mine today. And the blue is definitely sleek and sexy. You wont regret it
Is the blue actually blue or is it a greeny blue/teal sort of blue, if that makes sense. I'm tempted to get the blue as long as it's not a greeny blue otherwise will go for the silver as my Z5 is silver and I'm very happy with it.

I was also worried about the Forest Blue XZ being more of a teal color because the promo photos make it look that way. I went ahead and ordered it and it is the perfect shade of blue. It is a really beautiful blue and it always looks different depending on the lighting conditions (sometimes darker or lighter), but the actual color is closer to navy blue than teal. It's up to you which one you get though. Hope you decide easily.
XZ colour
I've been sent a blue one instead of black because here in the UK carphone have no stock of the black anywhere ....
From what I've read here blue could be the better option ?

Does it look purple ? Or could you take some good photos of it for me ?
I'm not sure to take mine back and swap it for a black or not.
The cases they are going to release come in black anyway so could just get one of those and keep my blue.

It has a slight purpley/red/mahogany Affect in different light it's hard to say the tint it has. it's colour looks pretty premium either way.
I just don't like the speakers I think all of them are low but it just makes u feel surely it carnt be this low so I need another xz to compare. But as for the colour it seems the rarest to get hands on at the moment but many places are releasing it soon.
I will try 2mrw to take some pictures
