had mine for a couple months now, and i have invisi shield on the front and back only. the chrome ring on mine has a few fades and scratches, but that's only from when i dropped it on the treadmill. i wouldn't worry too much about it.

I wouldn't get rid of the white phone just because of that. Keep it dude. The white IMO looks way sexier then the black one. When you look at a black GS2 from far away it looks like a normal phone, some even think its a regular gs1 or gs1 4g. whereas when people see the white gs2 they actually ask what phone it is and it looks nice etc...
Also it looks really cool at night (the backlight leaks more in the white)
The shiny portions are determined to come off. you can't do nothing about it. Unless you get those rubber gel cases.

Glad you chose to stick w the white one. Good choice!
I'll see if the coating on the silver bar comes off and exposes a shiny silver instead.
Believe it or not my previous device had similar material in the battery door and that thing scratched like a cat was going at it. So I decided to scratch the coating off w my nails at work one day took me an hour or two but bam it revealed a shiny back door that doubled as a mirror!

[POLL] White VS Blue

Which color did you buy: Marble white or pebble blue?
Curious to see how our poll results will differ from the international poll (where blue is leading by ~11%)

never been a fan of white myself and have always chosen black. I don't have one yet (waiting for stock) but that blue looks damn fine in my opinion. I bet the white looks awesome as well but I like the darker color.

Same here - really wanted black, but went with white because I didn't much like the fake brushed-metal pattern on the blue and its purplish home button. Nothing a case can't mostly hide, though.

White. Not even a debate.

I got the blue and my GF got the white.
The back of the white looks better.
The front is a toss up... they both look lovely... until one of the capacitive or notification LEDs lights up on the white phone.
The white version has light leak around the leds... makes it look cheap.
I would recommend blue + aftermarket back

I want the blue and voted for it but I saw a white and black case on a white model and it looked pretty darn good. I think it was a case-mate case. If they have a white one available, then I'll decide then. Either way, a case is going on it, so really, what does it matter?

Peebble blue with Samsung blue Flip case looks very professional. Im loving it.

Ordered and received Blue (read: butt ugly purple) and hated it... It's a blue'ish purple, the back cover is a different color and the button is a different color... This thing has 3 different shades of blue / purple on it... Really Samsung??
Posted an ad on Craigslist in LA for a trade and actually found someone! Woohoo.. Now I have white and am pleased..
If the blue was all one color it might look better but the 3 different shades makes it one of the ugliest looking things I have ever seen... Hope they fix it and devices manufactured later won't suffer from it..

Thanks, this helped me make up my mind. I would have preferred white but since I rater being very careful as opposed to using cases I don't want to see light leaks. :good:

really? your capacitive buttons only show the back/menu images in darkness? stand with your phone in a dark room and tell me the buttons aren't 3x brighter than the screen. they don't dim which is pretty annoying.
you can kind of see it here:

First off... They should have offered Black. Which is what I would have wanted. I chose white because the blue didn't appeal to me at all.. I like the non-visible buttons, doesn't show scratches or fingerprints as easily, and i've always had an easy time reselling white phones.. Either way I love the phone, and look forward to modding the hell out of it. Already had several Apple sheep admit their jealousy..

The more I use my phone in different light, the more I realize I have a purple phone. The back is the most blue part, but the sides and front are straight up purple in most light, especially natural light. I have also noticed that, in certain light, the front of the phone is the same exact color as the home button. It still looks very nice and, imo, much better than white. I would have chosen black if it was available. Imagine this thing in black chrome instead of purple chrome. Drool.

Bluuue

Got the blue. Would rather have black. The blue is growing on me......

White 32gb Light Bleed? With pic.

I've now had about 6 of the white gs3 from t-mobile. I have had 1 16gb (it didn't have bleed). The other 5 (32gb) has had this bleed from the buttons in some way. It's worse in person than in pictures, but you can get an idea.
I've also had one where you could see the insides of the phone from an improper seal where the screen meets the bottom by the lights (screen meeting white trim).

Am I the only person to notice this? I'm pretty picky, but this (especially the right one) is totally unacceptable. Video or a dark background at night makes it stick out like a sore thumb.

The one on the bottom, you're being a little picky. The one on the side is legitimate...but why not just turn off the LEDs and save yourself some hassle?

I agree, if I was paying for a $700 device I would want it perfect. I get mine (White 32gb) Friday and will report my findings. I have a strong feeling i'm gonna go back to blue.

How have you had so many GS3's? I'm not shocked though because this was discussed to no end when the phone was first released. I'm sure they could have prevented this by using a dark film underneath the screen with a masked cut out for the menu and back keys. But what do I know about manufacturing. Maybe they see this as a bonus feature?

I never saw it discussed. I'll have a blue tomorrow and see if that has it like the white's do. If not, I'll stay with the blue. I'd rather have a purple button than light bleeding.

You're not going to have that problem with the blue one, If I'm right I think most white phones has the same problem, I know my friends white skyrocket has it.

Yikes... That's a nasty light bleed

I noticed this on my white GS2 as well but I got the blue for my GS3. My wife has the white but it doesn't look that bad to me.
I think this is a tough problem to conquer for everyone. Remember how long the white IP4 was delayed?

thats nothing compared to the bleed on the Amaze 4G, but i get what you saying, we paying so much money for a phone, everything should be perfect

I wanted the White, but this is why I chose the blue. That would of drove me nuts!!

Yea i think all the white ones will ultimately have it to some degree. The skyrocket also has it and so does the sgh-t989 (white model) the dark colored phones such as black and blue kind of hide this.....i have a white one and mine bleed but im not returning it because of that that is just a little to anal. Now if the screen was bleeding then thats a different story. Il tell u what though id love to make them brighter somehow! My T989 keys were super bright

I thought the same thing until I compared my capacitive keys to my buddy's (we both have pebble blue) and his were much brighter than mine. I'm going to compare mine to some store models and if it's the same deal I'm swapping mine out.

I don't find it about being anal though. I can't stand distractions like these. Playing a game or watching a movie and there's the bleed! Knowing that something is wrong with a $700 device drives me crazy.

All white devises have the bleed, try it in a dark room and you'll see it.

can you post the date and location the white was manufactured to see if it is a fault at the plant

All of them.

LOL.. I have a lot, I kinda liked it.. it looks cool in the dark like phone is ALL lit up.

Unboxing Red Galaxy SIII very nice after reviewing it

After testing the Red Galaxy SIII all day, I might just pick one up for myself. I am really liking the color Red, very bright, but it does attract finger prints. So if your thinking of getting the Red SIII and want to look at it before heading out to the store, you can view the video and hope it helps.

Got one for a coworker. Its nice, but not for me

i got mine on Friday. I was hoping it would be more 'red'. It's more of a 'wine' color. I was hoping for more of a fire engine red, closer to how the pictures looked online.

Not going to lie, I'm really digging the red model. It's more of a burgundy or brownish. Sorta the same kind of "red/brown" I've been seeing in cars lately.
I would consider swapping out my Blue phone for this but it seems too big of a hassle for just a color change (no specs actually change). Actually I would be interested in just getting a red backcover and switching it out on my blue

it's really beautiful. Personally, I like phones being different colors. Why have them black? We aren't ashamed of them?
let's celebrate !

Looks Nice
Nice looking but not for me i like the pebble blue much better !

I would love this if the capacitive buttons didn't light up red. It's really ugly. The phone itself is beautiful.

I actually wish I waited for the red one. I had a red/burgandy Samsung Blackjack 2 and loved the color and it was pretty good for texting. Pictures online made it look too red, but now that I see photo's in natural light, it looks great.

Nice color....im really digging it....i have the blue...

Now, there is no official word from Samsung and it could just be the lighting causing it to look black. But could also be a hint that its coming. I think a black S3 would look pretty awesome, id be pissed though since i already got my pebble blue version.

Ok, now I'm pissed. I wanted black from the start.

I would have taken black as well. Not, saying Blue isn't nice, but shiny black is like eye candy to me.

I've actually grown fond of the Pebble Blue.

I see some blue in there. I don't know......

Looks like a lighting effect. Look at the color where it is closest to the white phone, it is reflecting blue.

Either way black would have been my color choice instead of this white one.

Yah that's definitely just lighting. That's looks blue. Even the border shows hints of blue. But damn..a pebble black would've been sexy tho

Thats Fuuu!! I wanted black. pebble blue is kinda meh.

If you look closely at the besel it is blue

If the phone was black there wouldnt be such a big difference between the screen and the bezel, especially in a press photo. Would have been chill though

I'd trade my 32 GB blue for a 16 GB black. . . lol

Meh.. black is cool but very common. I bought the pebble blue version (happy!!)
Ps we should all keep calling Samsung to pressure them to give us info on the black one!

It's clearly a pebble blue model with a colored screen protector, you can tell by the bezel.

was just up at the att store returning a case and from far away i saw what appeared to be a black s3...only to walk up closer and see it was the blue one. it genuinely looked like the one in the picture. my guess this is just bad lighting

I think the Pebble Blue is a great color. Love it. Have a very well installed screen protector and one of those soft cases with the Android Guy on the back. I also put one of those clips that fold open to slide your fingers thru so you can text with just one hand. Saw it on YouTube and had to have it. $25.00 for that plastic clip but very well made and works great.
