Black & Slate or White & Silver

**Lynx** · 09-13-2012, 06:06 PM

I had a black iPhone 4 and now I have white 4S. I am torn on which iP5 to get. I love the look of the black one but I like how the white looks too!

Damn't.....doubt is creeping into my head now. It doesn't look unmanly?

I've got a bad feeling about the Slate finish. I've had gadgets with colored aluminum on them before, and they show wear really bad. When the coating gets scratched or worn, you see the white metal underneath - so it really standa out! Unless Apple has some amazing process that prevents that kind of thing, I think in time the Slate finish is going to get a lot of complaints. Even with a case, the buttons and switches will be exposed and may get worn. I hope I'm worrying for nothing, but I think I'm going white this time....

I had said that IF, I was going to pick up a 4S off contract, I was going to get white. Though looking at the "blacked out" look...I really think I'm going to go with the Black/Slate...though I do wish I could find more "real life" pictures.

Some sort of "total protection" skin is going to be in order I think....probably what I'm going to do if I do pull the trigger on the slate.

Black color iPhone 5 is fabulous. I am watching i5 video at youtube, it's has a great response. Thanks apple for providing the great response.

While I always prefer the white color.
It doesn't bode well with my job. I had to constantly clean my 4S because of smudges and dirt that allotted around the edges of my screen shield.

I plan to avoid that (at least temporarily) this time around.

I envy those who got their hands on it! ):

Black and slate. My 4s white is looking weathered. .

**bigg22** · 09-13-2012, 11:31 PM

Can't decide yet. Have black 4s now. Might consider white this time

**EmceeGeek** · 09-14-2012, 04:11 AM

I ordered the white, but something tells me I might take it back for the black because of the slate tone, I love that.

White have been my favorite color for mobile devices and gadgets. I currently holds white iPhone 4S and when I will upgrade I will have a white and grey iPhone 5.

**Fdmstng99** · 09-14-2012, 07:01 AM

Just pre-ordered the black and slate. Was going to go with a white iPhone this time around but I just like the black and slate much better then the white and silver.

**Ipheuria** · 09-14-2012, 12:43 PM

I always get black and this time will be no different. The black looks F'ing AMAZING!!!

**salscott** · 09-14-2012, 12:54 PM

The beauty of radio shack....I have a 32 black reserved....but they will have a white for me to look at before I decide.

**jhamilton3** · 09-14-2012, 01:48 PM

For the first time ever, the black looks sharper than the white with the "black on black" look.. and I've always been a white guy.

Ordered 2 black & slates last night.

**Thegreatone3** · 09-14-2012, 02:21 PM

I always bet black.

**Garz** · 09-14-2012, 02:26 PM

Wife and I changed mind. We both ordered black. It just looks tight. Or dope. Or rad. Whatever people says these days.

**zachpenguin** · 09-14-2012, 02:56 PM

I'm definitely going for the black and slate. White and I have just never gotten along.

But if Apple did something really crazy and released it in the green from the previous iPods...goodbye black. That's only a dream though.

**Lynx** · 09-14-2012, 03:35 PM

I originally was going to go black, then made up my mind on the white one.... at the very last minute I thought the black on black looked nicer so went with that one. 16GB on VZW. I use spotify so I dont need more storage anymore
