Not sure from what i've seen I dont think so I think the purple might but when we get our stock in I will look and check. If history serves we should get them in tomorrow
EDIT::: just watched a unboxing with red phone and it is indeed the soft touch. So black and red are now confirmed soft touch. White is not purple still no clue.

That IS interesting. So, is the white parts painted metal or white plastic? With that crease across the headphone port, it looks metallic. I'm almost glad the white doesn't have that soft touch, as it would probably look a bit dirty in no time.

Ok I can confirm all colors except the white are the soft-touch paint holding them all in my hands as we speak.

so most stores have them in stock to play with?

Not likely they will let you play with it unless you see the champion there.

White nexus 5 sides scratch like crazy

One thing I ddin't like about the white nexus 5 , is that the sides are made of glossy black plastic , I don't understand why google chose to go with gloyys sides on the white nexus and awesome mate on the nexus 5 sides, the thing is , the glossy sides not only look cheap but they actually are... I baby my phone, I won't even put it on a naked table and I got a ton of scratches on the bottom side of the glossy frame, I'm guessing it's because of the friction caused every time I put the phone in my pockets and every time I take it out, is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

get a slim case, 2mm won't hurt your hand, but will protect body of the phone

Or get a dbrand skin. I have the back and sides, but you could just get the sides if you wanted.
They ship from Canada in normal air mail. Really quick. I had mine fitted in 4 days in the UK.

The white carbon fiber sticker doesnt look that bad, maybe I will get it :fingers-crossed:

Zippers on your pockets maybe? Without a case that would lead to scratches with either siding.

Noup, no zipper whatsoever

Not only easily scratches, but also very slippery in hand.
The white one is the one to avoid if you are going to use naked.

I can tell you that the sides do not scratch from just pulling out of a jean pocket. The plastic is way harder than anything that a jean pocket would have in it unlesss......... you had keys in there or something else. I do not think friction causes scratches but I could be wrong.

That is weird. I'm not using a case on my white Nexus 5 either and it's not scratching for me.

I found about it too late, I hit the "buy" button the second the phone went live on the play store, the white Nexus 5 reminds me of the HTC one which I always wanted to get, at least I'm passing the knowledge and I'm recommending my friends to get the black version

Yes. I'm talking about the sides. The sides are not scratching for me. It's still in perfect condition.

I personally think you have a change or key monster in your pocket, or you aren't babying your phone like you think you are because this is the first I have heard of it. I own the white version and I don't have a scratch on it.
I hope people take your opinion with a grain of salt in recommending the black over the white because it is the same hard plastic just different back.

no bro normal use wont scratch it .. nothing here . thousand of scratch on your phone has another story behind it . it will scratch during use in year but not this soon . nothing here though .

yeah i agree man .. i dont know why ppl keep saying black has better material !! whos said that ? it has great feel and have texture on it and its not a sticky hard (like before i get hands on it ) . feel great in hand . its just different material and feel . white nexus glossy side make it so luxury ho u come up with cheap idea !!! if u are not white nexus man , trade it to black one .
i didnt like previous nexus white version like nexus 4 . but
white is really beautiful and harmonic than black . black is not actually pure black and mat make me feel phone has ages on it !
white harmony and paradox ( white speaker phone on front and black camera in back and from back side black button make it amazing . )

yeah bro when phone constantly rubbing to something that is not baby coating it will take scratch for sure /... your baby (" i baby my phone ) is a little bit angry i guess .. i mean no harm just kidding .
bro sure a narrow fit pocket will do that . becuase i am keeping it in my waist bag (im not sure what it called in english ) and not naked . in soft guard in there or in my coat pocket and ofcourse in that soft thing . for me white is great but it need attention more than black .
i recommending u to use bumper case while u are gonna put in your pocket .

I've had 2x White 32gb and both have had screen issues (1 had dead pixels & the other had terrible screen bleed), and one of them the bezel cracked near the sim card slot. I have also had a T-Mobile version in black which was flawless. The bezel thing is real and is something I noticed after a few days of use. I baby my phones; spigen crystal armor and ultra lite case since day one, and there is still marks from taking the case off and on. Google finally owned up and replaced my white one for a black one.

If you read my post it clearly says both white 32gb had screen issues. An agent made a statement that I should have been able to select black as a replacement and promised to get it fixed. Corporate office finally approved it after calling their HQ and having the calls reviewed.

Sorry , I'm still sleepy :banghead: , I wouldn't have thought that switching to the black version would solve your screen issues , maybe the white ones you had were from a bad batch

How I fixed chipped chrome bezel !!

I bought a Note 3 not so long ago quite cheap because of the fact that the phone had been dropped a few times and the bezel being plastic took a lot of the damage ( Pics below )
The screen was still almost perfect apart from one small scratch on the bottom left but that will be semi hidden when i receive a glass screen protector in the post.
Any way the bezel really bothered me as I always keep my phone in as perfect condition when I own them so it really frustrated me to see how someone could treat a phone like they had, As the chrome had gone through to the white plastic underneath in a few places I decided to use my little friend ( Sandpaper and create a white bezel ) But instead I got something in between the 2 of having chrome still and white in the bezel.
Its very hard to explain so just look for yourself
Although I couldn't mask the dent on the top right completely it is now improved massively.
Your feedback would be greatly desired.

I think you've done a good job there. Probably an irrelevant thought now but could you have bought a non functioning phone off the bay and used it as a donor for yours?

I know you can buy the midframe cheap online but theres a lot of process involved having to remove the display and everything. I thought id try the diy version first before having to dismantle the phone

Could you post pics from a few more angles? Thanks.
Great work, btw.

i think it looks better than the original solid bezel. congratulations on a job well done.

u did a great job really
somehow it's conforting to see that we do that instead of having the look of ugly bazels

I fixed mine with silver nailpolish...
Little tip for people who are afraid of the silver on the bezel eroding: Clear nailpolish. It's a trick us women do with those cheap fake silver rings, if you put clear nailpolish over it, it erodes a lot less.

OHH ill have to give that one a go, im sure my sister will understand its for a good cause. The glass screen protector came today and has been installed and has completely covered up all of the small surface scratches apart from the deep one but even that doesn't look as bad anymore.
Thanks for the feedback omigo's

that is awesome job, how did you protect the other parts of the phone from the sand paper ?

Great job mate, love to see people improvising and having a go at D.I.Y mods like this.

I cut up 400 grit sandpaper into small squares about the size of my finger. and run it it over the entire bezel at first and it didnt seem to touch the middle section so im not sure how lol. i then folded it when going around the home and volume button to ensure I got all of it. Put something over the display to stop it scratching of course
Might be tempted to see what the bezel looks like all white?

Wow! Awesome excellent job! Well done! Impressive!

Black is more popular so is going to win. Ask yourself

I have the Black one.
I must say its pleasing to look at but it doesnt stick out in the crowd.
It just blends with the background.
If you want ppl to stare at ur phone, Green is the one.

Hello, I have the green, it is more exclusive, if you want to sell later you'll get more money.
The green metal z3 is lovely. In the Z5 it is very dark green, nice, but very similar to black.
I'm happy with it.
A greeting

I personally wanted the aqua green but ended up with grey, most of the z5 colors are nice so try getting green
Oh to add the z5 doesnt get scratched so easily

The green is not similar to the black on the z5.... Not sure why that guy said it is. One is green, one is black.
I have green. I like it. Every now and then I forget, then remember and just look at it for a bit.

Fragile? No, not really. I mean if I dropped it I would kind of expect it to break the glass of course. There are tempered glass protectors for the front and back available though. I have some, but haven't applied them yet. No case, no tempered glass so far.

If you want some more grip get one of their matte skins or the leather black one. I've had them on my previous devices and they work wonders for it !
