Best Buy replaces my Black Evo with a white one soon, dont know how I feel about it.

Is their much of a difference, I an its just the back thats white not even the whole thing. I dont get why they would do that instead of going full white, what do you guys think about it.

Trade ya for my black one...

White back is pointless. Especially since I throw a case on mine.

The white back doesn't have the grippiness that the black back has. It just feels like slick plastic. Also, it turns out that black plastic is stronger than white plastic.

Just throw a case on it...problem solved

I actually bought a white evo from best buy but then put a black battery cover on it because I like the grippy-ness of it. Looks nice. There's a white outline, looks kinda like a zebra. I like it.

The only thing I don't like about the white one is that freaking glossy back. It makes it feel like I am always going to drop the phone! I wish they would have stuck with the material they used on the black, rubbery I believe?
Doesn't really matter as I am using a case now lol.

Well I use the white hard shell from PawAvenue on ebay on my White Evo. It looks quite nice with white back and black front.

How is everyone liking Pebble Blue?

I got mine yesterday and think the front of the device looks great. The deep blue color with the brushed metal looks great along with the menu button and the invisible capacitive buttons. I wish the faux metal band around the phone was silver and not bluish silver. The back has a completely different color than the front (it's way lighter) and is super reflective and gathers fingerprints like crazy. Not a huge fan of it and I'm wondering why Samsung didn't use the same color as the front.
What do you guys think?

I do really like the phone. It definitely is a fingerprint magnet. I really like the brushed metal look on the back. I am not sure why they went with the two different shades of blue, but overall it does not bother me. It looks very smooth and you can't go wrong with the screen.

Loving mine. Found a replacement battery cover on eBay that is just black and has a metal cover - better than stock in my book. Designed for international, but works perfect, and this way I can leave the stock battery cover in the box and let it remain perfect for resale...

Love it. Glad I didn't get white.
I do agree with all your points, except I like the blue chrome edge.
I'll probably get a clear case, so I'm not so concerned about the back and fingerprints.

Can you post some pics

Great...
I too love the blue. I got this case and it looks very nice.

I like it just fine. Posted in another thread that I was having second thoughts about the blue until I actually got it in my hands. The back is definitely a fingerprint catcher, no doubt about it. But like many, I plan on having a case, so it won't matter at that point.

I'd like to see pics of that on the phone.

I like mine fairly well, but the home button is a bit too much burple for me.

I'm not having any issues with my phone. I'm loving everything about it. I ordered the mesh Samsung case from the UK...26.00 USD shipped.

I think the blue looks really sexy and sleek. I wanted the white at first, but went with the blue. Not disappointed

They did use the same color but different materials absorb color different and therefore the color look different. My car has the same issue with the gas cover.

Very happy I went with blue. I almost went with white because something about the thought of a blue phone didn't sit well with me... but this is not at all what I was picturing. Very nice, deep dark brushed metal look. It's perfect really.

I love the pebble blue color. I just can't do a white phone, just not my thing.

I disliked mine at first.
It was a total fingerprint magnet and super shiny, weird looking.
Very slippery to hold and rather cheap feeling.
Then I put a full-body plastic wrap on it.
That made it almost fingerprint-proof.
Also made it grippy to hold.
And makes it somehow feel like a more expensive phone.
It also makes this thing freaking brilliant/shiny!
After 24 hours, I'm now really starting to dig the way the phone looks.
The full-body wrap was a much better improvement than I was expecting.
---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------
I still hate the purple home-button though. It won't be long before someone is selling stickers to cover it up I'm sure.
I just hope it's a "thick" sticker so the home button sticks out more.
And I don't want to use a phone cover anymore. The blue is really sexy right now with the body wrap. Which somehow just doesn't seem to get any fingerprints on it.

Which color are you guys going for?

Hi guys, Initially i had actually opted for the z3 compact and told myself the full size z3 was just too big and although i do feel its a tad bit bigger then i would like. Iam now telling myself i would be ok with it as the screen allegedly is awesome and iam all for bigger screens ,its just a shame the whole device has to get bigger too lol
Anyways iam now contemplating on the copper or white version? Which are you guys going for? I like the copper,its different but it also looks kinda pink-ish so iam thinking maybe i should stick with the white!
Thoughts?

Black for me. I didnt get a chance to look at the new colors for Z3 in person

The black gives you that no-nonsense look..
I do agree that if the green or copper is darker, I would have opted for those as well

green and copper are awesome colors.
I like them both and thought about choosing one of them. Still I opted for black, because the risk of getting fed up with a color after a while is non existant for black

I like all the colors
silver green is really good but I can't find it and I get no chance to look at "live"

I bought mine today :0 I went for copper, They only had copper or black and the copper looked far nicer to me! It has a sort of pinkish bronze look to my eyes which prob doesnt sound very appealing but its nice! I wouldnt say beautiful but its different . For some reason i love it on the sides but am a bit meh about it on the back! Over all iam happy with the color although would have loved to of seen it in white!

I went ahead and got mine in White, had to carry the tradition over from my previous Xperia phones. Quite an upgrade from the SP though.

Good choice Iam already finding that the screen on this LOVES finger prints although i guess ye always notice these things when ye first get a phone! The display is crisp and finger prints arent noticeable once the display is on but because the glass covers the bezels ye can see them on the bezels which is sorta annoying but i can live with it ! I would imagine with the white version they would be less visible

100% ha Slightly disappointed by the display i have to say! It looks amazing but the min ye touch it all you can see is grubbyy finger prints! Its actually bugging me more then it should ha

I could only imagine all the fingerprints and scratches on the rear of the black. If T-Mobile doesn't offer white or copper I'm not buying.

I like both Copper and Silver Green but only Copper available for Z3 Dual so I ordered this color.

You can always get a transparent case for the phone so smudges won't be so prominent at the back.. but the screen, tough.. I hope I find a good screen protector that minimises smudges.

Can you guys post a picture of your copper, whites? Just curious how it looks in normal lighting conditions.
I'm also between copper and white. I think black looks nice too and gives that dark-knight feeling, but it's just too monotone for me.

Here's mine in white, used my old SP running on CM11 to take the pictures with flash... Sorry if it gives any of you the wrong perspective, but I think the flash helps bring the fingerprints out a little more visible:

You barely can see any fingerprints with the white variant of the device, but the screen is another story lol. Besides, we have a fully waterproof device, we can wash/clean it at anytime

I had the black one and it was great looking. Didn't hae too many problems with fingerprints....whenever I put it in my pocket and pulled it out to use again, fingerprints were pretty much gone. My wife liked it so much she stole it. Then I got the copper one. I really like the brushed copper on the sides but like someone else mentioned, the shiny copper back I could take or leave. Would've been absolutely sweet if the whole thing was a brushed copper aluminum. Either way, I think the black and copper are both equally appealing to me..

Dont buy Ringke Fusion Case

I bought Ringke Fusion clear case from Amazon and whenever i try to use flash it turns all white. So i have to cut it to make flash work. I have added sample pics.

Thanks for the feedback man!
Have you contacted the seller?

I thought I was the only one I have the same problem

I have this case on the way, very disappointing. Did someone contact Rearth about it?

I've had that issue with every clear case I've owned across multiple devices. It's never as bad as your shots though, I usually get a glow in the left corner of my pics.

Just get the i-Blason clear case instead. I'm really liking this case. Has a big cutout for camera and flash and other openings. Flash pics come out fine. I'm going to post some pictures of mine sometime today in the accessories thread area.

I had one on my G3 like this and i never had any problem. I guess its about cut on back.

There is an Orzly one that has the open cutout style on Amazon. I got that one.

Why didn't you just return it as defective instead of cutting it like that on your beautiful G4?

Its compatible for leather back and its nice over all. Returning it will give few more hussle. I just cut little bit and it worked fine.

Hmm I have this case and I do notice that it glares just a tad bit around the case, but it's not too horrible.

Thats surprising !

A roamer, but made an account before more people decided to cut their case.
Theres a really simple fix to this... the issue here is that because the case is clear, the light bleed through the case and affect the camera when taking pictures. To fix this all you need is a sharpie or any black marker... just Ink up the insides. The black ink will prevent the light from bleeding through the case, and withe the phone behind it, you'd barely notice the ink.
i mean, having a dark ring around your LED is better than cutting it right?, you can always in the other side to balance it out.

Grab a Spigen case. It fits and feels fantastic. No problems with the camera.
Ringke does have a 1 year warranty. It might only be the clear one that is reflecting back. I am sure they will swap out for another color, correct the mold and send you a Revision for free, or give you your money back.

This. There was a buyer comment on amazon that explained this process also. I can't see the marker after its installed on my black leather.

Yep, I had the same case on my G3, and it had the same issue. Sucks to see they didn't learn from their last mistake.

I've just checked this and yes I've got the same problem with flash. I've got the leather back. All in all I'm not impressed with the case since day 1 anyway, always looked cheap to me.

I have the clear case with a plastic back and do not have this issue. Not even in pitch black with the flash on.

Finally stripped my back coloring..

I'd have to say I'm very pleased with the results!

The ugly T-Mobile orange. I may drop another coat of mink oil on it to darken it just a bit more.
Edit... Its darker than the image let's on already though because of the flash. Once stripper it was a very natural untanned leather.

Ah yeah, seen some bright orange leather G4 photos in the past.. I honestly just thought it was over-saturation and lighting while they were taking the photo. I had no idea it was a legitimate colour, well done getting rid of it! Brown leather is heaps better than that abomination

It's some acrylic type sealant over natural leather not sure why they did that either. I had to use 100% acetone to strip it.

90% of the appeal of the leather backing is the feel and look of having natural leather on a phone.. Putting some horrible crap on it negates that entirely.
Are T-Mobile terrible or is it just their design decisions?

Not sure, id guess LG made that choice.

Slightly off topic, but has anybody tried painting the back cover with leather paint? Mine is pretty worn out, so I'm thinking about bringing it back to life.
