as the title says, which one? and why
sorry for post
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium
Man I went back and forth on this so much, eventually called clove at the last minute and changed to white. Grey looks awesome though! I just thought the white showed off the body styling a bit more, and the glossy edges didn't stand out as much on the white. Plus I can find where I put it down much easier
White without a shadow of doubt... It just stands out and really shows of the curve and design of the phone. I've had the phone a few days now and there is still not many people out there using White phones will also makes you feel a little unique haha.
I was also undecided about which color to get but eventually I ordered the white one.
I like both but after seeing them both I went for the dark one.
It has to be white.
This phone is made to be white, it looks absolutely fantastic.
If I could only get grey, I wouldn't get one at all. The difference is night and day.

White looks great BUT get's dirty very quickly and could stain much more easily. I put my white SGS2 down on a desk at work and afterwards had a small blue stain from a drop of ink or so on it. It took a lot of cleaning alcohol and rubbing before that had faded away! With the 'texture' on the back of the One X I'm not sure that would ever come off.....so black it was for me this time ;-)
Grey here.
The White will end up a piss stained yellow eventually, regardless of claims made. The iPhones don't suffer such a fate because of the glass. Any polycarbonate discolours in time.
I also don't like the fact the white makes the phone more easily identifiable in public. People will know what it is as soon as you pull it out of your pocket. That's just asking for trouble.
It's a shame because overall I think the white looks stunning but there's just too much unknown risk for comfort.

I can wipe the ink marks easily. I saw some videos with some one writing with a ball pen on the back of white one x and wiping it so easily. So, I am with white.

there are already problems with the white one getting dirty and can't be cleaned
i got a dark one... seems better to me
It really depends on how you look after your phone...but here is the real truth. The polycarbonate body isn't all that tough despite what HTC have said. The white one IS stain resistant but not stain proof!!
But the real issues actually lie with the grey one.
1) It is a fingerprint magnet. Even cleaning it with a damp cloth doesn't remove the fingerprints easily. You will need mild detergent mixed with water on the cloth.
2) It goes SHINY when scuffed. In fact, a few grey models I saw were actually slightly marked out of the box from new.
3) Rubbing at it over time, such as in a pocket or from brisk cleaning, may cause the finish to change where this happened.
The big advantage of the white one, is that the texture differences are much less visible especially if rubbed or has fingermarks and is actually, and surprisingly, likely to look better if not exposed to too much staining risk.
Having said all of that, I think the grey looks more refined and sophisticated. BUT, I ended up with a white one for what I consider those practical reasons above. I absolutely hate when matte surfaces go shiny when they get rubbed/scratched etc.
The Xperia S is the absolute WORST plastic phone for a long time. A fantastic phone badly let down by the choice of casing material. The black matte surface rubs off VERY VERY easily. The white one stains almost immediately you have it and the staining doesn't come off.
This is one area I think Apple have pegged. The iPhone 4/4S phones simply do not age with careful-normal usage. A good choice of metal and scratch resistant glass surfaces. OR HTC should do what they did with phones like the Evo 3D, where you can replace the whole back with a new one when it gets scruffy.
Black? they only do White and Gray
Bought TWO WHITES ones... one for me and one for my wife... now having difficulty to differentiate between both ... but White is outstanding..
mm
100 % grey
Has to be white, looks absolutely amazing in white!
Buying mine tomorrow and leaning towards the dark one

Anyway answering to your question... I have a while one, my brother has a white one, my other brother has a grey one who's now switching to a white one after seeing my white one
White!!
Oredered a white without seeing in real life. It was really beautiful when i first saw it. Nog i've send it Doa , and in the mean time I saw a grey one live in a shop. So if I wanted too I could get a grey one now, but there is no doubt I'm getting a white one again!!
I really didn't like the grey one... It looks like just another dark rectangle smartphone... You don't see the design as with the white one.
The grey one in the shop was full with fingerprints, smudge, uneven coloring, just weird. And the white one was as new...
And that from a guy that never tought he would want a white cell phone:d.
White and hopefully an invisishield is made soon incase of spills

Ok so far I'm on step one so not to much to post but I'll have more pics a little later today once I begin to primer. I will be doing 3 battery covers and one frame for the lteam nexus.
Here are a couple pics of the sanding down of the battery covers. 2 standards 1 extended.
One standard battery cover will be flat red and the rest of the parts will be white.
This is the first one I did with extended battery cover.
Post stone feedback and thoughts
First step was done in 800grit then 1 coat of adhesion promoter then urethane primer.

Bump just got done sprayed the red cover had to sand down the primer to get rid of any texture from the battery cover smothered it down with 800g then applied the paint. Here are a few pics. Also the texture will go away as the paint is curing andthe gloss will change as u can see from the pictures it starts out glossy and quickly begins to lose that gloss.
Enjoy the pics next will be the white parts.

Ugh I just went back to get another pic and I saw this debris on it I'll wait for it to dry and see how bad it looks not sure what it is that's the biggest issue with painting these little parts but let's see how it looks in a little bit.

Great job and thanks I'm working on a white one now also for muff he purchased that gnex off of me. Maybe I'll do another color once I get a gnex again.
Didn't have a chance to paint the white parts yet but will do them tomorrow all at once just getting proper mixture for sheen.

That's could be the reason. If it were mine I would try a different color because u see some white ones already though this will be custom another color might be nice and more custom than a white lte nexus. I didn't realize the frame and screen are attached on the gs3. I planned on painting the white model silver bezel black along with home button and earpiece but seeing as how screen is attached to screen I'd rather wait til I damage my screen or just leave it as is til next nexus phones. Hopefully they are as easy to modify as the last.

Tuesday bump got the white paint ready and masked the nexus frame now I need to lightly scuff the body and buttons and hopefully paint today. Heat is not on my side though had to use a real slow reducer to get paint to layout similar to the red. Blue tape is low tack so I used that for the glass so it doesn't leave tape residue. Its a low tack fine line tape and the yellow is a 3m masking tape. Let me know what u think last is a sample of the white it will end up. Photos taken in a semi badly lit area so white is actually straight white.
Enjoy

And done here a few pics from yesterday and this morning.
The buttons were also done and the power need a little sanding down to make it move freely but volume one was perfect.

Looks awesome!

I'm going to let it cure some more in this nice heat we are having in Socal then lightly sand sides of power button till it moves freely.

That white would have been much sexier with a little pearl, but looks awesome none the less.
Pearl as in pearlescent? lol
I saw this on ebay and was wondering if anyone thought of maybe buying this and converting your black outer screen into the white version...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/280893678197?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
For $17.89, I am tempted but don't want to risk cracking my screen in the process or damage anything else...
Seems like a lot of work to risk breaking your phone when you can just buy a white phone..

i tried doing that on my EVO a while back and it did not work so good, feels like i had a LIL openinig because dust kept going inside, make sure its HIGH quality so u dont suffer like i did havening to open it up and clean dust once in a while
Complete video found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f9pJTltvZ0
HOWEVER-The seller even states "this lens not include the digitizer flex cable,change this lens is very difficult."
I'd say unless you have the skills or know someone or a place that has experience, don't attempt. You will most likely end up paying for insurance or a new one
Just buy white frame on eBay

i have a few E4GT LCD replacements in White if anyone is interested. oem from sprint. PM if you're interested. thanks!
Hi Guys,
From youtube videos (I know great source of info) it seems that removing back cover on HOX is quite easy.
So two questions come to mind first one no one makes entire back cover replacements in many colours?
Also anyone know where I could get the least original white back cover?
I want to sell my HOX and camera lens is scratched. Does not interfer with pictures due to location of it but still.
Cheers,
Luka
I found a lot of them when looking for a black and white one.

it's not that simple!!
at first you will void your warranty as soon as you detach the cover...then believe me that it's very difficult and you could damage the inner frame or other components, since there's a lot of glue that make you feel the phone very solid in your hands...
but believe me that it's a real pain to change the cover...the most difficult part of opening your phone...
however you should do it just if it's stricly necessary imho...
Nah it's really easy. Takes 10 mins to switch over. There is no glue really. For the most part it is clipped on.
I say go for it. I got my white original cover off ebay for £30.
my camera lens also got little scratched. Is there any chance to replace it only? anyone with the same problem?

Maybe we have different version of One X...
I repaired my touchscreen and my htc was full of glue and sticker anywhere...it was the hardest part for me to detach the cover!
However could you tell me where to buy a black one low cost and new?
Thank you!
You got your white original cover off ebay for £30, can u provide the link of the stuff here?
I would be very happy if i could change my display since its screwed haha...and dont change the back cover, take one of those silikon cases

I bought this one. Price has gone up 2 quid but it's an original and delivered from UK.
ebay linky
i bought one too, replacement is a little difficulty but it looks like new
Thx guys, got one in post from link provided. Now wait till Lumia 920 and htc 8x are available for sale to choose one and sell One X

My One X has a creaking corner, where the original back cover seems to give in a little. Any guesses if getting a replacement (because the camera lens also has a few scratches) would help? Maybe the fit would be better... or is the creaking problem something related to how the phone itself sits inside the cover, and getting a new back would be pointless?
Has someone experiences with cases from Hong Kong?
They are cheaper and include the SIM Tray...

After putting the whole thing back together, doesn't the phone start creaking, especially at the bottom part?
No
Opened mine 2 times and the bottom fits better than when it came out of the box.
Only opened it to clean the camera lens from inside and always used the same cover it came with.

Great! That's really nice to hear.
Changed mine from black to white... After changing, my phone is more solid then the out-of-the-box black... Wifi reception is better... Needa change it after my friend knocked my hand while crossing the road... Screen is intact and unscathed though...

Yep, lens is included.
anyone have their old grey one and want to sell it?
i m getting the device this week but asking about the white back cover
i want to take the white one but i m scared about the back cover may get some change in color or get dirty by time as the cover has leather like shape and stetches on the sides
so black or white note 3 ???
I plan to get the white one and then get a oem black back.
You may have to feel then to choose. Played with both today at bestbuy and the black does feel different from the white. They both look good and I may try white since I've never owned a white phone.

I got the white one first and returned it for a black one the same day. The white does noticeably shows more dirt.

Having played with both I'm going with black. It feels more like a premium device even though they are both made out of plastic.
