Torn between which to order, I usually always have a black phone and the black edition looks really smart. I did see some positive reviews of the silver frost colour though, apparently, it always has a bit a blue tinge? Any owners here have one of the colours that they would particularly recommend?
Silver frost has a mat finish so no fingerprints or smudges on the back. Both colors are great. Silver is more attractive to others though. Personally i got the white variant. Love the gradients huawei offers on this color.

PLEASE post the pics.
I like the white, but after seeing it on a Droid, it was ugly. To many black cuts in it.,
or any pictures would be nice? looking to change the look a bit

Looks pretty sweet.
Thanks, but I went with the black carbon. The white has to many visible cutouts.
Its UGLY IMO.
Hey guys, I just saw an unboxing video of white N5 and the bezel to my eyes look shiny
Can anyone confirm that? I want it to be all matte

Yes, unfortunately the black and white have different sides and backplates, the black seems to be a more traditional softtouch material like on the black One X while the white seems to be a more polycarbonate type material, the sides of the white also seem to be a Galaxy S type plastic, the white looks nicer to me from the back atleast, but the Black one is slightly more nice to hold, both have good build quality though! Hope this helped (Btw, im in the UK, we've had it since the launch, you can go in and pick one up from the local phone shop

Thanks a lot...I'm a bit unsatisfied with the design they used in the white version but it doesn't matter to much, I plan to use a case. And just for the record I did manage to order from Play Store the white model and also bought a SPIGEN ULTRA HYBRID case on Amazon. Can't wait for it

Same set up with Spigen screen protector for $8.58 from amazon. Can't wait.
I was going to get the black one but cpw messed up my reservation so ended up with white and have to say I'm actually quite pleased they did. The gloss sides give the effect of the glass and edge all being one solid piece and the back doesn't instantly become covered in slimey fingerprints as the black one they had on display appears to do. The different material should also avoid it looking dirty very quickly and a quick wipe with a baby wipe should be all it needs remove any grime that does eventually build up.
Think I'll be staying commando.

Hello,
I would like to know what material is on the back of the white Nexus 5? Is it the same like the black Nexus 5 or is it different?
It's different.. Its kinda glossy and doesn't grip as good as the black one.

That is awesome because I saw that on black ones the soft touch plastic is easy to scratch. Is it harder to scratch this material?
Can't comment on the white one but my black n5 is holding up pretty good.. There's not a single scratch on the back... Using the phone naked almost all the time.

Ok, thanks for the answers.
I personally like the matte feel rather than the white. So I opted for the back and never looked back...

Me too. If it was an all white nexus 5, I would've considered it but the Panda thing is simply not for me :silly:
I have white, father has black. Feels easier to grip the black one. White one looks nice with the glossy finish on the sides, but scratches easier I think (at least it has with me). I was initially going to buy the black but I ordered white instead just because it had faster shipping.

The white one is not glossy at all. The material is matte. Maybe it's different by region.

The glossy part of the white is the black sides. The backplate is a sort of matte eggshell finish, however it is not the same grippy texture as the black.
Scratch wise they're both susceptible.
i have the red one, which has the same material as the black one.
i never had a white one in my hands, but its said thats its using a "glossy" plastic (i'm thinking of typical samsung, like nexus s), while the black and red ones are using a "softtouch" plastic. i have no idea what exactly "soft touch" is supposed to mean, i expected something gum-like wich a lot of grip. however, its regular plastic, which is very very very slightly rough. a smooth roughness. it feels like its just about NOT glossy/slippery. and it looks matte.

Actually the red is the same egg shell finish as the white, except it also extends around the sides versus the glossy sides on the white.
Only the black has the rubberized soft touch finish.
I got my Verus High Pro Shield case (in electric blue) last week. Love the design, but I'm returning it today because the paint has already scuffed off the bumper in five places, allowing the ugly white plastic underneath to show through. Just wondering if other people have had this issue - I'm not seeing it talked about in reviews at all, so I wonder if it might be specific to this color variant. Can anyone with one of these cases (in any color) report how the paint holds up to wear?
I've seen a couple complaints of this in the reviews on Amazon. Most of them seemed to be with the colored choices like blue red, etc. One of the reasons I went grey on my Verus.

Hate to break it to you, but the grey is a color coating too. The polycarbonate for the bumper is actually white underneath.
I have been using the Shine gold for 3 weeks without issue. However the phone has no drops and is treated like a baby.
dont mean to be rude but this case sucks tbh. go with a spigen case, their bumper case might be thicker but a lot better in my opinion.
To be honest after having this case I'm not a fan. It really compliments the phone but that's about it. To me the plastic bumpers while they may provide extra protection make the phone harder to hold. Also slippery due to the smooth surface.
I have had the blue one on for about a ,onto now and no issues with the paint wearing off. I did drop it though and the paint came off from that.
So, I ended up taking some automotive spraypaint to the bumper. Came out looking pretty nice and seems to be holding up pretty well so far!
hi guys, I'm thinking to buy this cover Galaxy Note9 Rugged Protective ,I have a blue note and I am very undecided about the color, I prefer silver but I'm afraid of getting tired over time, while for black, I'm afraid it's not the right color for uin blue notes, which one do you prefer and why?
I have the "black" one which is actually a metallic gray. I prefer it because the lip around the screen is black instead of light gray on the silver. Best Buy has them to check out in person.

you're right, that clear edge does not like me either, but I ask for notes 9 blue and dark gray?

Always bet on black. I've got a blue Note and the black Samsung rugged case. All good. I prefer my cases dark or black.

Do you have a particular reason for this or is it just a matter of taste?

I don't like light color cases especially grey.

I have the blue note and i bought the black after considering both. The silver is a lighter shade and i think the blue goes well with the black/dark grey case. It also blends well with the bezel imo.
Well guys, I followed your advice, I ordered the dark version that should arrive tomorrow from Amazon.
Thank you all
