Hi there. Is there any owners of yellow model? Interested in back cover - is it matte or glossy? Know that white one is matte for sure.
The dark grey/black one is also matte so I would guess the yellow one is also matte (and the other colours too)
All of them are matte, almost pretty sure of it. If you don´t like it you could wait for a unofficial back cover to come out

Undecided between the white and the metallic gray back.
I had the possibility to use a galaxy tab with the white back for a while and I had the impression that back is pretty strong plastic.
Is there any problem with the metallic back? Does it easily scratch?
Thanks!

I would say the grey is better. It's finely grooved unlike the smooth plastic on the white one. Light scratches shouldn't show, of course I have a case on it anyway.

Agreed, definitely glad I went the grey route. Excellent feel, and assuming you either a) put it in some kind of case (I'd HIGHLY recommend the Samsung case) or b) don't treat it like garbage, scratching shouldn't be an issue. I'd be FAR more concerned about scratching the white case than the grey
i bought on ebay for $13 an original looking like 1:1 Burgundy-red colored back cover with matte surface. it also half plastic and half rubber like so it feels really smooth and nice with a good grip in your hands.

now i also bought a white one with the same matte rubber surface which also looks like the original one xD

i put it on my gorgeous Pure White Arc S and it looks nice.
what do you think guys?
It looks great!
I've found the burgundy red (and a shiny white one) awhile ago too on Ebay and couldn't resist, so i did the same huge investment as you
I've got a silver Arc and it looks just as good as on your white one.
It looks good, I also ordered the red one a week ago still waiting for it to arrive.
How is the fit? Does it wiggle at all or does it snap on perfectly like an original?

fits perfectly. its really looks 1:1 like the original one.
It looks great!
i like
Is there any chance that this is actually an original?
Will post pictures when I get the red one for my black arc
Here is Mine Black to white
But Burgundy red ! i think much better ...
the thing i find interesting the most is that these are not OEM back covers but they look 1:1 like the original ones and fit pereftly AND there is a color that doesn;t exist as an OEM color which is the frikinly cool BUrgundy Red back cover.
Could be awesome if new colors will pop up and even front covers as well especially if the front covers will have the same rubbery material as the back covers.
then we could have out sexy xperia arc have better rubber material all over it like the new xperia s =D
I hope the rubber covers don't get dirty to easily. Is the grip very good? I don't like a glossy plastic battery cover, too slippery and I don't like to use protection cases for phones since they are bulky
The rubber covers have a good grip, but yeah, they do get dirty easily; that's why i now switched back to the glossy white one, in combination with my original silver front it's not that slippery.
To be honest, the original silver back cover works the best, but hey.....i'm into 'looks' sometimes

Love the look of the glossy one that came with the phone but indeed is wwwaaayyy to slippery!
I went from a Motorola Droid to the Arc so it was very hard to adjust to the weight let alone a rubber battery cover to slippery glossy.
I bought the matte rubber cover (Black) and haven't looked back since
I seen the SG3 for the 1st time today, seen it in the white and blue (suspect this was just a display model, didn't ask)
I like the white, but also now seeing the blue this as well. Its hard to see on pics and I didn't check, is the sides both silver on both colours?
What I'm thinking is getting the White, and buying the official flip cover in blue it is a nice contrast as seen on a you tube vid

Also I;m thinking there will be replacement battery covers in different colours?
So ignoring the back cover, is the only white bit on the front, i.e. on the sides it is both silver?
cheers
almost 100% sure that there is a silver bezel on every S3 variant.

Someone posted this in another thread..heres link to original http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27055488&postcount=14

The blue one's sides are a pale blue colour
The blue one has a sort of bluey purple metal side while the hite is silver.
I had another look at the blue on today and i seriously do not like it and am glad i chose white.
Closed, Dupe of this thread here
I dont know if my question is ask correctly (i'm french), but will it be easier to scratch the graphite color versur the frost/silver. Do we know what's the aluminium quality?
I don't know if its any easier to scratch then others but you will notice it right away since the scratch will probably take of some of the coating showing the base metal . Kinda like a black car the scratches stick out like sore thumbs cause they look white
thank you, I'll switch to frost right now because I don't trust the metal quality of Huawei.
If it's anything like the HTC M7 (or was it 8) that came in black..then yes, it will be ugly when scratched because the black is just a paint or coating. At least with the white, you wont be able to really differentiate the color difference between white and raw aluminum.
Can anyone shed more light on this? I love how the graphite one looks, but maybe the silver one will be more durable
The graphite version chips and scratches pretty easy. So much so i had to go with a skin to cover them and keep it from getting more. If i had a choice i would go with the alu.
I don't know, the silver has " chamfered edges" which look just like the ones on the Note 4 , I had the note 4 and the sides/edges scratched like crazy , almost by just looking at them :/ maybe the silver nexus 6p has the same issue?
What colors of Pixel 4 did you chose and why?
I went for black, as I hate warm colors like orange (the mint prototype was amazing1), and I would like to hide that horrible iPhonish camera. BUT I discovered that black is glossy and not matte...
For the first time in my life, I chose a White phone. Something about the black edges but the matte white back really stood out to me. Additionally, as you discovered, the black's glass is a glossy finish. Looks nice, but would show scratches and smudges when dust and whatnot inevitably gets in there. As for the Orange, I think it looks unique, kind of like what OnePlus did with the 6T McLaren Edition, but it wasn't for me. Just got my phone today and I love the way it looks.

I hard a hard time choosing between the black or white one. I ultimately chose the black one because I figured although the black is glossy, it's easier to get a matte skin and slap it on there. I'm the type to always be changing how my phone looks so I feel like one day I might be feeling a glossy phone, at which point had I gotten the matte white one it would be hard to find a glossy/glass like skin. I REALLY like the matte white contrast with the black frame but since I got the black one I can just get a matte white dbrand skin and this way it matches the white power button too. Not too much of a fan of the orange power button. In your case you could also slap on a matte black skin.
I went black because is one of my favourite colours.
But also because is symmetrical
I prefer glossy glass because of the grip. But I use a case so doesn't matter.

Got a clearly white one, I've always been an "all black" user but I love the contrast and the effect it makes on P4. Also that matte finish looks good.
Like it was said, a matte black skin could solve the fact that the black version is glossy. I got a dbrand for my Pixel 1 two years ago, never had a problem
I've always had black phones until I got the almost pink last time around. This time I got the orange one simply because when I pull the phone out of my pocket I want everyone to know I have the new Pixel 4 and crowd around me. Excuse me folks, ladies first.
Went for the orange one. I've had black phones the whole time and just wanted something different.
I preordered a matte black skin. It should look like a matte black phone, back it's quite flat...
Black, went with full body skin from clearcoat (mobile outfitters) available worldwide.

Really wanted the orange as it was the same shade force 10 use on their tents !!! My favourite brands of tent !!!
However ended up with the black due to the orange not being available in 128gb in the UK..
