I just got the white nexus 5, and the back seems very off white, I was expecting it to be a bit more...whiter? Atleast based on the pics I saw. I have attached a pic..
Is that just the way it is for everyone?
It's more of a eggshell white, rather than the white you find on Apple and Samsung devices.

Its not even the white eggshell white. Its a bit yellowish if you will, just a bit disappointed after seeing all the pictures. Is this how it is for everyone?
Uploading it again, the first one doesnt seem to show up.

Um that is white

It's just a slight off white, but it's not yellowed by any means. First your picture is quite yellow, also the case may change the white a bit, looking near the camera, your phone looks white to me.
Also, that IMEI on the back of your phone is just a sticker, you can take that off.
Looks fine to me. I think the clear case you have is probably making it look less white, but that looks no different then anyone else's.

It's meant to be like that because of the coating makes it more durable

yup, its def off white, egg shell, almost grayish. i initially ordered the white, going with black instead now
A picture of the phone without the case would have been a better way to make your point.
Mine's white. Should it be so white it glows in the dark?

Which one looks nice the gray or the white and why ????
Which color do you like more? No one else can answer that for you. I got the white mostly because I ordered the unlocked gsm version and that was the only color but I like it.

I like both but which one do you think have the more expensive look and feel among the two.
I got the White since almost every tablet is dark in color.... And I wanted to be different. :victory:
Having owned a white Samsung Epic 4G Touch, let me warn you on the white. Samsung uses soft plastic and it get's easily stained.
I have the dark graphite model and will not show dirt (other than finger oil smudges).
I got dark grey so I wouldn't be mistaken for an iPad d-bag.
White is the new generic color. White to most = iPad. My Note phone is white and I'm not a huge fan. I've actually been thinking about getting rid of it for something smaller.

The bezel on the white note looks bigger because of its color but the only thing i like about the white is that it has a glossy texture which makes it feel more expensive than the gray or is it the opposite?

The back of the gray unit looks like graphite in texture even though it is just plastic. I like it personally.
I pre ordered the grey for my wife. Apparently one of the few females that doesn't like whites!
I like my white galaxy s3 though.

That sounds a little bit racist! Obviously not meant to be, but it just immediately made me think of someone saying "My wife, now she don't like them whites!" Good laughs.
To the point though, I have a Galaxy Player and I really like the white on it. However, the front is black so it tones it down. I've been looking for white note 10.1s , but they're going fast, or there weren't as many. I may just go dark grey so I can get it from Newegg now. Online shopping, no tax but you can't trade it in as easily if you made the wrong choice.

I've had a white e-reader and it was a mistake - white border makes the screen look worse somehow. On LCD it might not be such issue though because it's brighter.
I bought the gray - really like it. I'm not into the white because of the finger-stain possibility. At least to my eyes, the gray looks fairly classy (although as someone else stated, it doesn't really make it stand out from the crowd....).
I got the deep grey because to me it looks nicer, is probably less prone to getting dirty and isn't mistaken for a white Apple dumbPad.

So as we all may know, the black Galaxy s 3 was recently released for Verizon. I have 2 options right now
1.) get the pebble Blue galaxy s 3 today
2.) wait about 7 days to get the black gs3
So my main question is right now is there a huge difference between the two colors? I know that in some lighting the blue actually does look black at times and as for the onyx black Galaxy s 3 I never exactly seen it in person yet. Any suggestions?
I suggest u buy the black one and ill trade u my blue one lol
But seriously, I got mine 1month ago, had I known the black one was coming I would have waited. Just my 2cents

Are you going to put a case on it? If so, the blue is fine. If not, the blue looks awful purple.
I like the brown...looks like wood grain to me.
My blue just looks black in the TPU case...except the volume and power buttons...those look purple. :/

man, i really like the brown one in pics too! i thought i was the only one.
for the OP, the blue looks really cool. however, the purple-ish home button does bother some people, and it does limit your cases a little, if you care about colors clashing. that said, i personally would go with the blue over the black, but it's your phone and you'll have to look at it all the time.
also, a lot of the time, the blue does look black, or at least a dark navy blue. it mainly pops under more direct light when you can see the graining pattern

Yep pretty much what you said. Im fine with that purple home button look. Its just a color on a phone. People complain too much.
I just ordered the blue one. I was thinking about getting black but then something dawned on me. Every phone I've owned has been black. Well, except the Nexus One, but that's mainly because it was made of aluminum (hence it was grey). The reason every other phone I've owned was black was because they were only offered in that color. I decided it was time for a change! Besides, blue is my favorite color anyway. Although, I'll probably end up putting a black case on it...
Wow, this is why there is a choice I guess.
I probably would have gone with black if it was available at the time instead of blue, but I kinda like my blue one.
On the other hand, I think the blow lunch brown is so ugly that if that was the only color it came in I might have gone for an entirely different phone.lol

By The way, I have no case and a deep red Hyperion battery cover with the 4000+ extended battery.
is the titanium silver a myth? that one looks the best IMO...

I already have the Blue one, i like it a lot, i don't really notice the "purple" home button... only time i see it is when i have my thumb over it really anyway so it's pretty well covered up. Even when using my phone i'm not looking down at the hardware buttons, i'm looking at the keyboard, picture, game, phone dial buttons, video chat, movie, etc. Only time i even really notice the color is when i'm playing music and my phone's sitting on my desk next to my kb/mouse upside down and even then, i mostly just note how many finger prints are on it rather than the color. I haven't used a case sense the original TPU case messed up my first screen protector, ever since it's been naked and hasn't a scratch on it. Pretty tough freakin' phone tbh.
I was looking at the black one at the verizon store and they used the same purple home button as the blue one. That's very sad of Samsung

My brother owns a black samsung galaxy s3 and it has to be one of the sexiest phones in the market. He bought blue first but exchanged it with black after two days. If you put a case on your phone, the color of the phone will hardly matter. But if you intend to use it without a case, you could not do better than black.
I think the blue is hideous! I'd go with black or brown. The brown looks amazing in person.

They do not use a blue home button on the black S3. You must have been looking at a blue one in bad lighting.

White for sure. The S3 was my first white phone and it is just super classy.

Sorry I was wrong. Ugly dots aka carbon fiber esque on both colours makes me want to puke. A disgrace to all designers worldwide. Either way, it's ugly. May the ugliest colour dominate them all. As I would say, let plastic be plastic. Don't imitate other materials.
I think I might do the white one and get a lightweight case that's colored. Not sure yet. I definitely like the white over the black though.

Black would have been even better if they had a grey one again.
Then atleast once try a white. I did it back when my note was released and still love the white. It looks different and classy. Black is a standard color. But nowdays greybis also looking good. But since u never tried white. I will recommend u to at least try it once.
