I'm sure some of you know by now that the white N3's back is hard plastic while the black one has a soft rubbery back. Is anyone else annoyed by this because I had my mind set on getting the white version since I've always owned black phones but now I'm not so sure.

I'm not sure I would call the black back "soft and rubbery" It has a small amount of "give" when pressed down on when compared to the white back but it is still fairly hard, I did feel both before purchasing and went with the black one as it felt better to me.
I haven't felt a black Note 3, but I LOVE the feel of the white one. It's plastic, but the texture feels nice (Better than a smooth plastic back). I'll be seating it inside of a Spigen Bounce case, though, so it would be a non-issue either way.
I actually returned my white one for a black one. I had one of each in my order from AT&T, and after handling both I knew I had to swap the white one out. Luckily they didn't give me a hassle or charge me a fee.
Also does anyone know if Samsung has given any indication as to when the accessories will be out? How long did it take for the s4? Hopefully the replacement backs will feel similar to the black one. Thanks.
The white S view cover looks great on the black phone plus you get that great screen look in menus etc of edge to edge on the black phone. I also think that the titanium grey Note 2 gave a similar effect, but nowhere near as good as the note 3, especially with a black wallpaper. I will post a screen shot of mine below

I like the touch of my white back, it's softer than the note 2 plastic, it's strange as it's still plastic but with texture .
Had no choice with colour as black phones to me just feel less premium.. No idea why, just one of them strange things

Hey there - can I ask where you got your pouch from for your N3?
Thanks
I also sold my white note 3 and got a black one.. definitely the feel is better with the black.

I think I will get the white one and eventually get a leathery feeling replacement back, or the s view cover
I much prefer the feel of the black back cover over the white one.
Luckily for me I find white phones hideous.

i have a white one with no issue. but i got something people can try. turn the lights out, and view a black screen/page of something and sorta manipulate the light from the buttons in the palm of your hand so as to use it as a flashlight (because a flashlight and blacklight wont work), i found some weird looking defect or hieroglyph in the middle left side. but it doesnt affect anything only i will ever know its there. kinda weird.. looks like a crudely drawn number 4 wrote with a stylus permanently embedded in the polarizing film
Is it that whitish color because dirt go in there? Or did it actually look like that when you got it?
I feel like I have a slight on the bottom of mine now...
I got gaps everywhere :/ Might see if VZW will exchange it then.

Hey guys, debating on getting white or just preordering titanium grey today. It kind of sucks that I haven't seen it in person and ordering the color sight unseen blows. It looks darker then the blackberry titanium grey. Anyways what's your guys impressions on it?

Both colors are nice but I prefer white better :good: Go to T-Mobile store and check it out by yourself then you can decide which color you should get....It looks kinda different from what you have seen in pictures.
100% happy. Both colors are nice but the tiny stripes on the grey one got to me
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I bought a grey one yesterday and I love the titanium color. I think it's just a matter of personal preference. Whatever color you decide to order, if you don't like it, try to hide by one of the cases/skins/etc for the phone.
Love the grey - even more than the S III's blue. Not a white tech guy, myself.

I got white, my brother got gray and my hubby will get gray too.
Ignoring the actual colour grey or white
I would say on the scale 1 looking plain and 10 standing out, then:
Grey = 4.5
White = 7
I prefer less of a statement, but not none, so grey for me when the 32gb comes out.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
So I just got back from T-mobile and took a look at the Titanium grey in person and I gotta say its a lot better then i expected. I have a white note 1 so it was pretty easy to compare since im sure they didnt change there white. The TG note 2 looked a lot darker, the face almost looked black which i like and the back seems a bit lighter, maybe because of the way the light reflects it vs being under glass. I really liked the pattern too.
Anyways I went ahead and preordered the TG note 2, now to order a spare battery/dock
Grey all the way. The pebble blue was nice on the s3, but a bit much in color. The grey is just right amount of loud with the brushed look. Very dull, but shiney

I got the gray and like it. I do not think I would like white but my store had gray only. Mine is going into a case, anyway.
I couldn't be happier with my Titanium Grey Note II... the white seems so bland and shows dirt easily. But like everyone has said, its a matter of personal preference.

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.

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

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.

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

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 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.

I've had a white one since november and its been flawless. No case either. No ocd issues. Guess it depends on the environment.

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 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.
