From internet research, I have read the matte finish can be susceptible to scratches. Not from abuse, just regular daily use. What I have not found yet, is which color seems to hold up better. Can anyone provide input after logging some regular HOX use? Thanks
the white holds up incredibly well in my use
I guess it would all come down to what the surface is on. I remember the white on my ole My Touch 3G chipping off rather quickly. That was paint on plastic. It seems that the coatings on metal seem to be a lot more sturdy.
After having both colors, the white definitely stands up better it seems. The grey shows every smudge imaginable.

I agree the grey is a smudge magnet, but it doesn't bother me and its not rubbing, scratching or chipping off so I'm plenty happy not having a flashy white phone.

great white
White for me. after nearly 3 weeks of use, i have no smudges, scratches, nicks, chips, etc. no case either, just the standard HTC hardware for me. Also, FWIW, I owned a white iPhone 3g for years and it held up amazingly well over time. some kicks and scratches that you'd expect with that hard plastic-y finish, but it looked way better than black iphones of a similar age. I think it's like auto paint: black always looks awesome when you leave the car wash, but it's dirty by the time you get home. just my $2c.
Zagg...... No worries

It's polycarbonate... Put the paint is blended through, so scratches are less noticeable. My white HOX is holding up like a champ.
I'm rocking grey with no issues. Naked might I add.

Nah, the white case doesn't have to be giant. Mine is uber thin, I'm using the case because it makes the phone less slippery.
I have the grey HOX with a Otter Box and a cheapo screen protector.. It seems that the texture of the polycarbonite will rub off with constant exposure to rubber? I have 2 small rub marks on the back of the case.. I'll see if I can post some pictures soon. Mom has the white one, it's flawless without a case, loose in her purse.
I have mine naked, and its not holding up near as well as I thought it would.
I have what seems to be 'wear spots' on the back of the phone, directly under the C. It looks almost as if the matte finish worn away to show a smother finish. The spot doesn't feel any different from the rest of the case though. And this was only after 2 days!
I'll see if I can post pictures a little bit later.

That's what mine looks like too I think..
i would think the Grey could stand up to more grime and dirt than the White, obviously. i have the White and i baby the thing to no end. it's still pretty clean but it's inevitable that it'll get scuffed up..
grey may be less of a dirt magnet but the white one goes faster

Fingerprints and natural oils show up a lot more on the grey though, sort of a toss up.
Get any color you want and slap a full bodyArmorsuit like my white One X. Awesome investment and looks great

They both have their flaws and advantages. However, I think the grey will hold up better if you do not plan on using a case.
I have white w a see through case and it works great...I would never cover the fabulous screen w anything..fingerprints wipe off..any screen cover will take away a little..

I picked one up. If it fits anything like the black replacement from Amazon it's worth the extra few $$$ for a perfect fit.
Try finding a white digitizer for under $166 now. I paid $66 for mine in Dec, tried to get another one couple weeks ago, nada. I did find one for $60, paid for it, got a refund 2 weeks later.
Looks like they just took an OEM battery cover and painted it white, no?
If that's the case, I'm fairly sure you could do the same for less than $22...
Bought one of the white batt covers, gotta wait till end of April for it to get here from china.

Review of White Cover:
Pros
1. Fits perfectly just as stock
2. Gets a lot more attention on tables
3. It's glossy which matches the glossy screen
4. Tighter fit than stock
Cons
1. The cover seems a bit more "thicker" than stock but not significant yet noticeable
2. Some imperfections of the cover (e.g. 3 tiny little black ticks, imperfection on one corner)
3. Black screen, black top cover, silver bezel, and white back cover doesn't go as well as I thought.
4. Silver Google thingy on the back is not flush where it connects with the flash/camera thingy
Overall: 8/10 Feels like a new phone but i'm not a fan of the thicker cover. I want to say it was repainted but it's definitely not. Looks like a non LG re manufactured item but they used the wrong thickness on the material.

You can replace the black screen too.
Can we change black screen as easy as snapping the back cover?
White is different but it looks pretty odd with a black front but a white back.

You're going to have to do a bit of handy-work if you're interested in that. Only do this if you're 100% confident in your abilities; it's a simple process, but not that difficult to break a tiny part, thus leaving your phone useless.

Anyone here have a tough time deciding which color to get? I chose the white but am still not sure yet if I should have a chosen the grey. I love the look of the white phone from the back, but the grey looks really good with anything black on the screen (keyboard, apps with mostly black ui, music player & Pandora). Also, which really made me ultimately choose the white is some people are reporting that if the grey phone gets scuffed it wears out the finish and your can see glossy marks.
This was a hard decision for me. It makes it that much harder that I have severe OCD
So did you guys have to make a decision on which one to get or did you have your heart set on a white or grey one from the beginning? Just curious.
I decided to get the white one. They had plenty of grey ones in stock but I decided to wait for the white one since they were sold out. Should be picking it up tomorrow.

I was in the AT&T store for literally 2 hours deciding which one to get. A few employees there thought it was hilarious lol. I ended up with the grey one. While I do think the white one is sexy as hell, I think over time it will get marked up more than the grey, especially since I don't like using a case except for when I'm at work. I still have 27 days to decide but I'll most likely stick with grey, which I still think is bad ass looking. Lets face it, we have hands down the best looking phone out right now no matter which color it is.
Yea I got pretty lucky. There are like 7-8 AT&T stores within like 30 miles of where I live and every one was sold old except for two. One had like 2-3 grey ones but no white and the other, it was odd, had a pretty good stock of both.
I too took forever trying to decide, but went with the white.
It's dead sexy!!!!!
Took my white one back Fri. and picked up the grey one. I too don't use a case and was afraid of it getting too dirty.
I went with the grey after seeing the amount of staining from blue jeans with the white model.

I went with the grey.
* I don't use a case (was afraid white would dirty)
* grey seemed more manly
* white seems just trendy
* white reminds me of iPhone or Apple devices
* white looks more like a plastic toy than a serious piece of tech
* white makes the phone look bigger - grey looks slender
Don't get me wrong it still was a tough decision for me. I liked how the white accentuated the curved screen edges.

I loved my white 4s and now I love my white one x
Had a white iPhone 4S for a long time. The white is extremely distracting to me, granted the white One X doesn't include the glass, but I just enjoyed how the camera's ring of plastic and the HTC logo were closer in color than the contrast of the silver/white thing going on with the white model, even though to me from the side the white model looked liked this car: http://images.psxextreme.com/wallpapers/ps3/white_lamborghini_615.jpg
Still, dark grey just felt like more of my thing.
i went with the grey One X, i was contemplating on getting the white one but the screen surround on the white one was black which was a bit of a turn off imo
So I went with the grey since the screen surround matched the grey better then the white.
Being that I got my mother and fiance a white one recently, it was almost my duty to go grey. It seems like grey will be the less popular color and it looks great with the matte finish. The sides of the white were much more noticeably shiney than on the grey model.

Normally I go with black phones, this is the first phone I've been even remotely interested in getting in white. So I did. I'm crossing my fingers that it won't get too dirty - or worse yet stained - because I don't use a case, but I've heard that polycarbonate casings are pretty easy to clean so I have my hopes up.
If it starts to get dirty and dingy I'll get a case lol
White was a no brainer for me. My only issue is my OCD with cases now, most cases look better with the grey one cept the speck candyshell that came white but i hated it as well
Why cant otterbox commuter make a white version of their case? I hate the white trim showing and not making the overall look cohesive

Not to be an ass, but if you're really particular about things, it doesn't mean that you have OCD.
As someone who has a sibling who is truly very affected by OCD and whose mom is a psychologist, I've learned that OCD is not being particular about things. It's doing irrational things like twisting doorknobs a certain way or having to touch things in a certain way before you can pick them off of a store shelf. It's all about routines and being afraid of what happens if you don't follow those routines, not being picky about your gadgets.

It is almost flush with the camera lens, MAYBE a little bit thicker. If you lay the phone down on its back it definitely does keep the camera lens off the table, there is like a .5mm gap that I can see through. So yes, but not by much.

Got mine today. A bit pricy imo, I try to not spend more than $10 on a case. Keeps the thin profile and the material actually makes the phone easier to grip. I like the fact that the front portion is flushed with the phone(not good for ppl who like putting their phones face down). Probably gonna be switching between this case and the Amzer case. Really liking it.

They don't have a white case and I couldn't decide between buying the gray or the black for my white HOX. Finally settled on getting the gray one (I figured it didn't really matter since I'm planning on having a few cases sitting around to swap as my mood changes).
I've never been a huge fan of any soft plastc/silicone since they are huge dust and hair magnets. I have a jack russell and this thing loves to attract hair and pet dander.
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone who has been using the HOX naked has had any issues with the matte finish wearing off and becoming glossy? When the phone was first released, I heard a bit that this might happen, so I wanted to see how everyone is fairing.
I bought my HOX on day 1 and got one of the OEM HTC cases (blue one with horizontal slots along the whole back).. and its been HORRIBLE! The casing is so thin that it started to crack in the corner when I removed it to clean or change my SIM card. Eventually, a piece of the case broke off. I then checked my One X and found out that dust had been trapped underneath and because it was loose, scuffed up the whole bottom of my phone! It was a complete waste of $20. So now I'm thinking about going nude for the time being.
Rocking it naked without an issue. Having a sleeve custom made, though, just to have a little bit of protection while running around. Pics will be posted once I finally get a chance to pick it up.

Just thought I'd throw this out there. My naked white is still incredibly clean. Rubbing it slight removes all small blemishes.

No its fine naked. Just like the post have mentioned. A good minimal case that adds no bulk really is the case mate barely there case. If you need a case I recommend you check that out. It is very very thin and looks good. Just in case you decide you want to try a case.

The matte finish is definitely starting to wear and I don't believe it will hold up. Look very closely and under bright light right by the speaker grill where the phone normally rests when sitting on a surface. There is a bit of wear in the matte finish. I can confirm this on two different device. These are white ones. This is too bad because I was really hoping the case on this phone would be super durable. With the way HTC talked it up it sounded indestructible. Looks like it's time to see how well the s3 case is holding up for people...
Nothing makes me cringe more than a beautiful design hidden behind a case. But, I also feel for those whose naked phones go flying to the ground.

Naked. There is a very slight "chin" on back just below the "beats audio" logo.
This is the area that touches whatever surface the phone is set down on. On my HOX this area is starting to "smooth" very slightly. Noticeable by eye really and only in good light. Not causing me any concern.
The One X just feels too good in hand to put a case on. :good:

Hey,
For all of you that own a white HOX, have you experienced the matte white finish on the back of the device gradually wearing away near the bottom corners (or wherever you most often hold it from) and losing its characteristic grippy matte-ness, becoming slightly shiny and smooth?
I'm concerned about the long term consequences of using the HOX without a case (although i use a case) as the bottom right area of my phone has lost some of its matte texture, become smooth white.
I don't have a problem with the white finish on mine. The only problem I have is the SN, IMEI, and SKU sticker coming off from sliding it in and out of my pocket.

Does anyone have a problem with the screen flaking? I guess it's the anti glare coating on the beveled edge for me is flaking off. I can't understand it because it's been in a case the entire time i've had it. Of course I can't call up warranty since i've rooted and unlocked my bootloader. This sort of software modding thing though shouldn't void a defect warranty.

I've had mine since around the beginning of April. As of right now, the wearing away has been pretty minor, and is distinctly noticeable in direct light, and appears around the bottom edge, near the corners, as that is where I most commonly hold my phone from.
I actually have a case on right now, but noticing this slight wear-away concerned me (which further convinced me to keep a case on), but wasn't sure whether or not it would keep wearing away.
I would describe it as... a smoothing out of the matte finish, kind of the way it looks if it gets a little oily. The affected areas are more reflective and 'shiny' , but not truly smooth like the finish on the GS3
Again, it's not major, but just something I was wondering about.
This is common in plastic items if you look at a well used mouse or keyboard over time the most struck areas will smooth out lucky the hox is mad of inject molded plastic so the white one is solid white so it wont "rub" off it will just show polish like brass over time.
My grey one did that after about 2 months. Two spots about the size of a dime on the back, where it would touch when set down. They polished to a shiny slippery finish. Haven't used a case at all.

Yeah, mines getting shiny on the corners, and my screen has some barely perceptible scratches on it. I'm not too worried at the moment though, I'm going to warranty swap due to a bright spot on my screen.

I don't have a problem with the white finish on mine. The only problem I have is the SN, IMEI, and SKU sticker coming off from sliding it in and out of my pocket.

You shouldn't need to keep that on your phone anyway. You should have received at least one or two extra stickers in the packaging that came with the phone, which are there to be used for warranty purposes etc...

My phone tends to get a kind of shiny/smooth finish to it after a while. Its nothing a little bit of windex can't fix. I do have a case on it
