I saw it a few days ago in the shop and I have to admit it looked gorgeous and much better than the blue one. I also noticed the plastic on the edges is a fraction of a millimeter higher against the glass, I guess they did some minor revisions on the manufacturing.

Bought one but reverted back to the white. Couldn't stand all those fingerprints. Even the slightest specks of dust were visible too.

if there was a matte black i'd want one

It IS gorgeous...got mine via expansys a few days ago. Not that this should be a reason to love a phone but have had several people ask if this is the galaxy s4 lol.
Because of the amoled tech, if you disable the wallpaper using apex or something, the blacks of the screen are so deep that it looks completely seamless the frame/bezel. Currently rocking a minimalist white icon dock and it all looks very slick.
Highly recommended.

I waited very very long too only to grt it in black.i generally have always black phones i love the dsrk style but on the s3 it looks georgeus.
It makes the s3 look like a alien weapon

LoL that's a blue with a black cover.

My Pebble Blue looks very similar to that. I've got a black cover on the back of it and it's hard to distinguish both! Quite interesting!

No, it's black. The flash is messing with the picture. It does look a tad blue in the pic. I assure you in person the black is black, the burple and black look very different.

Any particular reason why you chose the clear instead of the smoke?

I wanted the back to be more visible. But this case shows the back perfect but no sparkle effect. Much like the poetic atmosphere case just not uneven and blotchy like the atmosphere case is.

You can clearly see the Nexus and LG logo, but cannot see the glitter flakes.
The TPU part is all matte, not fully/partially glossy like most others.
The buttons are a bit mushy, so I cut a slit underneath the power and volume buttons for a slightly "clickier" feel.
I'm not sure if you can see in the picture, but the top and bottom of the front lip is higher than the sides of the front lip.
The lip is low enough on the sides that I'm not bothered by it when swiping from the sides of the screen.
Cutouts are all perfect.

man...i really like how both the clear and smoke look. can't choose!!

how it's hard to remove/to put back on?

The case is very easy to install and remove. If you are familiar with tpu cases, this one is just slightly more difficult because it seems like a more rigid tpu.
You won't have any difficulties.
I also have an XO skin on the back, and the smoked plastic does not stick to it.
No "waterspots" are created.
The case did lift my front, full cut XO screen protector.
I recommend a case fit version or those regular hard plastic ones that doesn't cover the entire glass.

Thank you all so much for posting this case. I've been looking for one like this for months. Just ordered the clear one.

Good choice. Great case BTW it has great protection and doesn't push my screen protector back at all. I have a BSE case optimised protector.

Nice looking case, but is that a stress crack that's appearing near the camera cutout?

It is a slight imperfection from the molding process. It is noticeable in direct light, but has not bothered me enough to request a replacement. It would take a good amount of impact to break or crack this plastic. The surface is completely smooth where the imperfection is. Ebay cases..... you get what you pay for....

I was thinking of turning my Silver into a Red/Blue Hybrid, can't decide if I want red back or blue back though.

This is more images of this job. Actually, body is not heavy damaged and can be restored to normal. It looks perfect... An ideaal, who like to do it also, is to buy black device and to replace just back cover to silver from eBay

I don't know if I would do that to my device but i must commend you on both your interesting idea and the guts and skill to pull it off.

Good work! looks really good and i might do this myself in the future

Anyone using the white LG G2?

As someone who has always been using black phones (be it iPhones or Android), I am a little wary of moving to the white version. I am buying it off forums and this person has only the white one to sell. People with the white one, are you liking it? Especially if you're coming from a black phone?

I'm with white and its good

I haven't seen the white version, but I bet it's just as great as the black. Might switch up if I like it more
TapaTalked From My G2

White looks too Samsung Galaxy to me. Black looks more like a Nexus device. Ah, decisions decisions.

been having black phones for years now. My last one is iphone 5. Got a G2 white and like it a lot... kinda like iphone 3GS white.

White One looks elegant, Black one is men
I'm using white one, i like it
sometimes I use black case QuickWindows

White one here..

There's a thread discussing the black frame around the screen which becomes very visible on the white version.pictures of this frame made me buy the black one.

Oh wow. That is a deal breaker. Looks like black for me then. Thanks for the input!

With the black you almost feel like you have no side bezel and it does have that nexus look to it I had the white I could see myself looking at the side bezel more often cuz they were white

That guy was trying to seem as if the screen on the white phone seems smaller due to the bezel. Honestly, its the same & when I use it I don't even pay attention or notice. Play with both in the store and decide for yourself.
I have the white and its sick in person. Get nothing but complements everywhere I go especially because its more rare than the black G2

The white is not rare the black just released first I just left tmobile store and the have 20 black and 32 white
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I got mine Black because:
1. Nexus-esque look
2. Looks awesome when screen off
3. I had a white Note for almost 2 years and wanted to change
The only good thing I see on the white one is that finger prints are not that visible.
Cheers!

white on the g2, because it doesn't show fingerprints, returned the black g2, looks kinda generic
black on the note 3 because its silicon like back

Black here. Cant remember being so much in love with the look of my phone before. I barely look at my girlfriend anymore.

G2 Black or White

Which do you guys prefer? White or black? and why?

Black I have a white one and my ocd just goes crazy you will have to clean it more when its white
Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk

I've had a white one since november and its been flawless. No case either. No ocd issues. Guess it depends on the environment. I also like the white because it shows of the size of your screen better. This is the first white phone I have had and was worried i might not like it but those worries disappeared as soon as i open the box.

Definitely white. I love my white G2, looks way more elegant and distinctive.

I've had the unfortunate opportunity of owning both a black, and a white one which I got to replace my old one. The white definitely looks better and you can't see the fingerprints, also it looks more "premium" according to my family members.

I thought so too till I realized it's a fingerprint magnet, the white is better at covering that up.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

white.
less fingerprints. Don't see much of other dirt stuff.
and best of all it looks different than all the blackies out ther.

White here as well. Looks cleaner than black even with all the fingerprints.

Looked at both and I picked black I have had a white note 1 and note 2 so I picked Black this timeso I can't be ocd about the black line around the screen being noticeable on the white model. No regrets on picking black
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app

I have a black one and my best friend got a white one. I dislike the black stripe between the bezel and the screen on the white one... but except that the white is more impressive and hides fingerprints perfectly also the screenprotector is invisible on the white... so if you like the color white all the way:good:

I keep a soft touch case on my black one because of the horrible fingerprint problem. So really it didn't matter to me what color I got. Case helps you to find the power key easier too.
