[Q] Does the white MotoX backing seem to last?

I have a black MotoX with the black woven backing. My girlfriend is looking to get a MotoX, but she wants a white woven backing. Is this going to be one of those things that starts to discolor (i.e. blue from jeans, dirt in general, etc)? I think the white looks boss, but I don't want it to discolor. Especially if I put one of these cases on it.
Thoughts?

It's not a pain to keep looking clean? I'm actually thinking of returning my MotoX for when MotoMaker comes to Verizon.

What color? Navy?

I was worried about the same thing so I put a case on it, but I've been using it for the past month without a case and it's still pretty much flawless and not hard to keep clean. You don't see fingerprints unless your hands are really dirty and even then they wipe off pretty easily. I set my phone down on all sorts of tables and still no scratches when it slides and spins around.
Go for the white it looks awesome and they did a really good job designing it so it doesn't get dirty.

I saw a white one at a WalMart that looked a bit scuffed and dirty around the top between the headphone jack and the camera. This was a couple of weeks ago while visiting in-laws, so I can't go back to check. However, the white one at my local AT&T store looked to be in good shape.

I have a white weave back with orange accents and black front. No issues at all and I've had it since launch. Normally sits in my jeans pocket with no case. It is not picking up any discoloration at all, unlike my htc one which had the white parts stained from my jeans. I wouldn't have any concerns with the white weave.

BRIGHT Red Nexus 5 Review

Hey, I'll make here a short review about the color of my new Nexus 5 Red Edition.
My Nexus 4 was stolen so I went for the 5 but I was hesitating between the black one and the red one. I hadn't seen any review of the red version so that's why I'll make one for the one who can't decide!
First of all, Google mention that the phone is bright red. And it is! Its very very bright and it's amazing.
When I opened the box, the phone dazzled me! It's very flashy and its like neon red, eletric verilion or orange red (See an approximation of the color in attached files).
It's true that it look a bit orange. But in a certain way, the color affects you depending the light there is. In daylight it looks very bright, but in a room with no natural light it will look softer. But it's still bright. You can't get lost with this phone, we can see you from far away (a bit like the red-orange security jacket but not that extreme of course )
I'm totally in love with this phone, i think it looks amazing. But be aware that it doesn't look like a "normal red phone"
Regarding the case, i wanted that the back can be seen, I didn't wanted to hide the color of the phone. But I think that the transparent cases from Spigen (Ultra Hybrid) and Ringke (Fusion) were too big and would ruin the Nexus 5 design. So I found on clubcase.fr an interesting case. It's thin and frosted, not fully transparent. It looks quite good (but not so sure about the protection it offers), it soften a bit the color but the phone looks a bit more orange or pink depending the light. But it isn't that disturbing. I also bought the Diztronic Voyeur case because it seems stronger, but it will come in a few days so I don't know how it will look like on my Nexus.
I hope I could help you in your choice
PS : I'll try to add pics of the phone as soon as possible
Edit : Here is the link to my imgur album with all the pictures with different angles : imgur. com/a/5rymn (remove the space before the dot)
I also have received my Diztronic voyeur case. It looks great and much more protective than my other case but it's a bit thicker (pics in the link above )

you should really test it on the wireless charging function. My nexus 5 works well with the RAVPower wireless charger that i bouht on Amazon. And I am happy with it.

I went into the Telus store intending to get the red one but it looked way brighter in person and I thought it was too bright for me. Ended up getting a black one instead but now that I got a black ballistics case the red would be OK I think being that it would be mostly covered up but still somewhat visible.

Yes sure, with the diztronic voyeur case we have a black case but with some red reminders. its much more sober!

congrats on your new phone dude. It certainly looks amazing. I had a 16gb black which I sold and went for the 32gb white. I have to admit that the white is more interesting looking than the black and I can imagine how the red compares to black. Anyway, N5 no matter the color, is a delight to stare at...no question about that!

I bought the red version purely because it was newer and so rarer and when I sell the N5 it has less competition for those out there which want red.
I also,because I will be selling it, got a red case to go with it.
Makes a change from the usual black of white.
You are though putting me off with the mention of its really red!
My red one is 3 days and about 20 miles into a journey across USA, at current speed I'll have it when the N6 is out.

I personally think it would look awesome in a black case like the one I got. If only I thought of that when I bought it.

Cases are cheap. If I hate red I can buy a black case.
A Red Nexus in a black case? Surely you'd not get much red showing, just at top and bottom and the red dot?

Given XDA is the home of the golden padlock I'm flabbergasted this thread hasn't been locked given it's a review of a colour lol

I'm glad you are excited about your new Nexus 5. It's a great device. However, I'm not sure a review of the color is needed.

[Q] What is most premium color for Z3c white or black?

I bought the black and it looks nice but the fingerprints and smudges are driving me nuts! She thinks white is "girly" but I think it looks nice. What do you all think?

Primary reason i got the white one. Fingerprints. Used to wash my S5 all the time because of visible fingerprints.

I kinda regret getting the Black one because the white one looks far more premium but I'm still happy because it's just an amazing phone!

It's weird tho, I've always had a black phone and they all attracted fingerprints like crazy! But with this phone I barely see anything. And my hands/fingers are mad oily most of the time. I guess the Ringke Fusion and a tempered glass screen protector help out a lot!

A high end oleophobic tempered glass protector will surely help. Especially if you put one on the back too. Been looking around just that in my country woth no luck. I dont use any casing so even on white i get a lot of prints, though unnoticeable unless you look close.

Regarding fingerprints, just put the phone in your front pocket. After walking around for a few minutes it will come out clean and shiny. ? Regarding the color, go with black.

Gold is best. Best, best, best!

green

Red

I like the red-orange color most (my last one was docomo version in orange color, very nice color but I have to sell it because the signal problem (later I know how to fix and then regret alot ( ) now I'm using green, it's ok too. The last color I would choose is black, too original, nothing special about it and come along with alot of fingerprint...

I love the green one, second is the red-orange.

Thought the question was "white or black"....

Hi,
I've got a white one and I love it. Beautiful, elegant, not a dust-magnet.
I don't think the white one for women. I used to wearing white shirt.
by Avers

Black phones always do "cheaper", more plastic...
However, the white one got a problem. In a dark room, the edge of the screen has kind of a halo around.
The brightness of the screen (even with 10% luminosity) tend to light the white glass case.. Kinda annoying and ugly.

I would have definitely chosen red over any other color if only my carrier had any red Z3Cs back in October. I got white one and it is not as pleasing as I thought it would be. Black is much prettier.

I love the black one. It looks slimmer if you ask me and i love it when the screen is of how the front turns into one shiny glass surface.

I have the black one and like it. However, I really did like the red one but it was out-of-stock when I was ready to purchase. Red sure it different.

I miss the Royal-Purple from the old Xperia lines.
This time around I chose Mint-Green, not only because it's my favorite color but that so I can flash my phone at my enemies and blind them from its color!

Ugly black border on Soft Gold version.

Seriously, I can't use the phone without noticing these thick black borders. The soft gold variant appealed me because Oneplus photoshopped out the black borders inside the bezels. Why oneplus why?
Furthermore, I don't have any option to return the phone as I've imported it. I am hating the phone that I wanted to love.
Do not buy in Soft Gold, it's ugly.

yeah... all the white phones have this as the screen that is active does not end where bezels start. That's why on black version is not noticeable even though it is there.

this is why I don't buy phones that has a white front. I like em black

Yes, but not to the level of this phone. Apple, to their credit shiw the border(which is thinner than on OP3 anyway) in the promotional pictures. But if you look at OP3's website the gold color is shown without any border. I feel bit cheated.
I'm overacting a bit but I'm really regretting the fact that I don't have an option to exchange it for a black one.

It looked cleaner and elegant in the promotional pictures. The gold on it doesn't look girly. Shame for the white front though.

Because they might live in a country where they don't have access to do so.

I just received my "russian girl" OP3... first thing, it is not bling-bling at all, the gold tone is very soft, and yes the white face is a little of a shock to me since this is the very first time I have a phone with a white face, but I'm sure I will get used to it. It does not look like a cheap chinese telephone at all as someone said, which is funny because this IS a cheap chinese phone .
The only thing I do not like is the screen protector that comes with it, it is like wearing a size S t-shirt when you are size L .
Forgot to say that the black line around the screen is a non issue for me.

Funny thing is I like the gold on the back, white front is not too flashy until you turn the display on. I'm using the phone on dark mode to hide the borders.
May be it's just OCD? no?

For me this Soft Gold model is just perfect for it's price. The tiny black border doesn't bother me at all, it's on all white front phones I've seen and used. Otherwise it's also much better than I expected after reading these threads here and on OnePlus forums complaining just about anything. Very positively surprised.
It's all about personal taste and preference I guess!
@brickedvice could you post a photo of the Soft Gold phone with the screen protector that has black top and bottom? I'd love to see how it looks

Anybody have an orchid gray?

I'm wondering if they don't have a lot of the orchid grey.
Maybe it's just bestbuy, maybe not.
How many orchid Grey's have been delivered?

Mine (AT&T model) was just marked as shipped today directly from Samsung.

I got one in from att yesterday I like it. Because you can see the contrast between the metal frame and the body of the phone.

I pre-ordered the orchid grey Note 8 from Best Buy, and had instant buyers remorse. I almost cancelled it and ordered the black one, but decided to hold off until I could see it in person. I saw it at a Verizon store this past week and am so glad that I didn't cancel. I liked it a lot better than the black one. I too like the contrast of the black front and camera alongside the grey.

I thought the same thing too. In ATT they only had the black one to look at. So I ordered the gray one. So I looked online and for a sec it looked like light purple and I said damn I screwed up. So then I watched a video on YT and I was like yes I made the right choice. You will like it its cool. When I had my Note 7 I had the silver one and I liked that one. It was kinda of like chrome. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy it.

I have the S8+ in Orchid Grey, and it's so beautiful the only cases I could bear to put on it are 'clear'.
Unfortunately, this time around in the UK, the only pre-order colours available for the Note 8 are Black or Gold. Went for the Black but would have preferred the Blue.

In some lighting there is a hint of purple but you really have to look for it. Mostly it's just shiny silver much like the note 7.

Got mine love it, but that all black is slick too.... I really wish we had the deep sea blue option

Preordered mine from Sprint, got it Tuesday. Would've ordered the blue, bored of the black. It's going to be in an opaque case 99.99% of the time anyways. There's a slim color s strip around the camera cutout in all the cases I have (so far), which is kind of a cool contrast

yeah I received my orchid grey ATT model Thursday from Samsung direct.

My tmobile variant is an orchid grey. I definitely don't want the black one and this look nothing like purple to me!
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I got the Orchard Gray one as for the notes I have already had a black one, have had a white one which they didn't offer, and have had a gold one.
I still want my pink note that they offered several times but only in select markets. I hate when Samsung does that. Back when I had to turn in my Note 7 for the recall I temporarily ended up going with the iPhone 7 plus in rose gold which was pink!
I just wish Samsung offered a edge version and a non edge version of the Note 8's like they did with the S7. I would buy a non edge version in a heart beat as I don't like the edge screen and it's too hard to find a tempered glass screen protector that works with a case. Even non tempered glass screens it can peel.

I pre-ordered my Verizon orchard grey 9-2 and got it on 9-7. Works great!

You guys at least get this option. In Oz it's just good old Black and Gold... Only the 64gb version too...
Seriously, they could've sent a few of the other colours out....
If we want Orchid grey or Coral blue we have to buy a grey import that means no local warranty and having to pay a but load more for it from overseas suppliers. We're already getting a$$ raped over the price - $1500AUD retail - that's about $1200USD, and we don't even get a choice over a colour... They argue that these are the colours bought here. Of course they are, little choice if that's all you get. That's almost like arguing the sun is really shiny but only in the day....
Samsung suck in that respect...

I have an Orchid Gray device. Got it from T-Mobile.
Love the color and contrast to the the front.

Don't like black phones and black cars as a rule, besides heating up in the Sun much more, but if had no choice, I would get colored case. As is I got orchid gray and clear case on top, looks good. I wonder why they limit colors for certain markets? Impossible to predict which color will sell and then deal with unsold inventory?

Yeah that deep sea blue is gorgeous, I'm pretty upset we weren't offered that in the states. That said, this black is really something else. Best looking all black phone ever made, methinks.
