White just seems girly for me. Maybe because all the women I know usually have a white iphone. I know is stupid. Also I'm not so crazy about the blue specially with the purplelish home button but nothing like a phone case cant help the look. I would have preferred black.

the purplelish home button is the ONLY downside of getting it in blue.

Trust me folks. The button is a non-issue. It's so dark, that even if it is purple, it's no big deal. Pebble Blue is hot!

Is it just the blue ones that get hot? If so, I guess I will get the white one!!
-by the way, that was sarcasm

Honestly there are pros and cons to each.
Pebble Blue:
Pros: Unique Color, some people prefer a darker colored phone, and capacitive buttons don't leak as much light
Cons: Purple Home button, Blue'ish purple bezel around phone, blue back plate shows fingerprints a lot more
White:
Pros: Metal'ish bezel, White home button, also a pretty unique color, fingerprints don't show up as much on back plate
Cons: Some people hate white phones, capacitive buttons leak more light
I ordered (and received) my 16gb white version yesterday and am very satisfied that I did. The blue looks better in person than in pictures, but it's still kinda purple looking in a lot of situations. Ideally I would have liked to see a titanium grey with a brushed aluminum look back plate, but I think the red version coming to att may end up being the best looking of the three....

I actually legitimately prefer the white back. I like the glossy finish vs the "brushed" finish.
But, now that I have the Tab installed in the samsung case, amounts to a hill of beans difference! Love the case!!
If you're concerned about what the back looks like, you're using it wrong.

Amen! Though I did go with white because I was getting tired of so many black gadgets...and then I stuck the Samsung book cover on it, which made it black

I tried to tell myself that when I first purchased the white one inadvertently. But aside from the color, the feel of the brushed grey is far superior (IMO) to the white plastic. The plastic feel of the white model just makes it feel cheap. The brushed grey almost makes me feel like its brushed aluminum...
ooohh.... yeah i mean gray actaully not that black
i think the gray or black will be better
Got the white, which was the only option at the local BB for the 32G version. As others mentioned, you can't see it during day to day use. The feel of the white back is that of any glossy plastic. Haven't held the ggray one, so I can't compare. Ideally, I wanted gray, but I'm very happy with my tab, regardless of color. Frankly, this is my first android device that I haven't rooted - I'm that happy with it.

HAHAH! That's hilarious.
I/O but.. White in this poll
I picked up the white one the other day at BestBuy for $541.24 with tax.. It got a lot of finger marks on the back after using it for a little bit. I returned it after finding a new in box black one for $450 on craigslist
This happened to be the "black" one (more like graphite grey or something) and this seems more resistant to finger prints. And beeing a little less smooth it seems like the grip is a bit better.
Thats just my $.02 though
since the front is NOT white in anycase like the iPad I would say black and grey is the best combo.

So it all boils down to wanting to look like the iPad? I honestly don't get that. The GT10.1 is superior to the iPad in so many ways - why would you want it to look like one?
The textured back on the gray has a great, secure feel, especially while scrolling screens and holding one-handed. I didn't want the white because of finger prints, assuming I would keep it naked in use and pouched for transport. The difference is night and day, but I miss having a built-in stand with a cover, so it likely won't matter in the end.

What color did/would you get?

These images (click here and choose the white verion to see) of the white version is just making me want to get it.
but i heard people say in real life the blue version looks better.
so white version owners, are you happy with that color, why does it look so nice in these images, and how is the real tablet's look different from these images?
i don't care about the red version, it's too ugly for me so i'm not going to get it.
i just don't know should i get the blue one or the white one?
if you're going to buy one which one would you get?
my brother first got his white ipad but then returned it for some problems (not color problem) and got the black one, i think the white one actually looked nice in my eyes, but this black also looks nice too lol.
so i think black and white are 2 colors i would get, doesn't matter which one, either one is fine.
but because some people say the TF300 white looks bad and i never used a device that has blue color before so
that's why i am asking this question, also make a poll so we can vote
thanks
I Have the White with Dock and dig it! Goes very well with my White Galaxy SIII
Also have a Blue one in my store and its also very nice not as blue as the online pics make it out to be
kind of like the blue Galaxy SIII, a nice dark navy blue. Haven't got the red one yet so cant comment but I think as a Man I would feel a little odd with a bright red Tablet in a public place Chicks will dig it though I'm Sure!!
Got the white one and I think its sexy as hell was gonna get the blue one but the store was out of stock, only had white left and I'm glad they did
I got a royal blue one. It is pretty cool, when in a dark environment, it looks like black, but when outside with the light of the sun, e looks really blue.
I got the blue because that's all that was available. I think it's pretty, but I probably would have gotten the white if it came out at that the same time.
edvora
I have the black one....lol...
I actually thought it was black, but it`s the royal blue.
Not even close to the color you see in pictures, much darker...only when facing bright light it starts to look blue-ish...
I think the white is nice, probably would have bought it if the store had it.
Good luck and enjoy !

I got a blue one....i probably would have bought a white one had i bought it brand new. Got mine off craigslist, brand new, still in the shrink wrap for $260
But honestly I believe that color makes no difference if only the back is colored and the bezel stays black.I mean how often do you look at the back especially if its in a case.

I think the bezel has a little bit of blue in it (if you got the blue TF300)
And I chose the blue one because it's more like black with a touch of blue

Post screenshots of your Motomaker designs

Motomaker.com is now live, but you can only play around with it and save your order. You need to go to an Att store and buy in store, where they give a moto card with a code that will allow you to complete the order online. Why do we have to go to the store? Well they want us to use the in-store displays and see the colors in real life (not all the colors look exactly the same as the renders due to lighting), so this minimizes the chances of someone sending it back to change colors if it didn't turn out the way they expected it.
Anyway, get to it and have fun.

Will it get more attention? Yea sure any phone that has three distinct colours like those would attract some attention, but I personally don't think it would be very pleasing to the eye as something that is all white/black with one other colour accent.
But hey I like minimalistic things and plain uniform patterns.

I've played around with this same scheme. The orange really pops against the black and the woven black definitely looks nice.

A lot of conservative people probably feel the same too. I've been going back and forth on whether I like the woven black. The smooth black you get on the motomaker is a clear winner, and picking color accents gives just a little bit of flare without having an overly flashy from having a colored back.

Lg g2 white or black?

ordered the white version but still debating which one looks best.
I'm gonna get black because verizon tells me which color to like.

Black is best IMO, so sleek
If you hate fingerprints on your phone, then the white one is best. But I think the white ones look cheaper and more "plastic" in appearance. The black ones look better to me.

Verizon says I can have any color I want as long as it happens to be black....
I'm getting a black phone, of course. I'm a man after all.
I like white phones but I rely on the LED notification a lot!
I notice that on black phones the notification led seems more pronounced with the darker surrounding background, on my white S4 I sometimes miss it when I glance at the phone from a distance.
Stupid reason from some but it's a real good reason to choose black for me.

I'm thinking white, my Iphone 5 is white and has the same black bezel around the screen, making it look smaller, but I don't really mind.
White looks a bit more trendy and different. I've only had grey/black phones so up until now and I'm in love with the iphone's white looks. The G2 looks really nice in white too - grabs more attention.
Only one thing - do you think the silver paint on the back buttons might wear out faster?
I own a white G2, I have bought this case for it.
The white looks great, but beware! If you plan to get the same case (which is awesome btw) or any other white rubber case, it will slowly turn into any color it touches the most. Eg. mine is slowly turning into blue, because of my blue jeans! I keep it in my pocket.
Doesn't look that bad, but maybe some will hate it!
I have a white G2 with a black Diztronic tpu case and I love it. The white looks really nice and doesn't show fingerprints without the case.

I have white in all honestly I love the phone in white it makes the screen and everything pop out more for me. Granted notification led doesn't look the best compared to the black model but I would definitely go for the white. Most people have black anyways and with most cases being black now it just doesn't look good with the phone being black. I have the otter box case and black on white looks amazing with this phone.

Thus, black G2 with a dark red matte case makes me happy.

And is there any difference when reading ebooks? Does the white match better with the white paper? And would the black version work better with games and movies?

White is nicer looking imo, also better for browsing, drawing, note taking. Some prefer to watch movies on a black model, but not seen much use there myself really. Also the fake leather looks better in white. Several reviewers mentioned the white one looking better, none so far preferred the black one. White backgrounds on the screen of the Note 10.1 costs no more energy to produce than a black one.
With amoled on a phone I prefer a black device, seeing a black themed screen saves energy and phones are somewhat low on battery power.
I picked up the previous 10.1 in white and did not like it so when I purchased my 2014 10.1 I made sure it was the black one.
White looks better and goes well with any color cases

I am considering the white model because it looks better than the black one, and I had the same initial concerns about the back getting dirty... However, after seeing them both in person, I'm pretty sure either version will be very easy to clean if it does get dirty. After all, it's only plastic and the texture is not very deep.
Am I the only person who finds the white border with chrome being distracting?

I prefer black for my gadgets. White just reminds me of outdated kitchen appliances. Never understood the fascination people have with white electronics. Also, I've seen too many white colored devices get discolored over time... not sure this textured back is going to hold up to grime over time very well.

I like white, and got a white note I've never had my white smartphones or tablets get discolored, maybe those people just didn't take good care of their devices, like leaving them in the sun in a hot car. It's personal preference though, go with what you like.
