Black & Slate or White & Silver

[PrincessB]

I bought the white one, but I secretly want the black one now. it looks so evil! lol

One of each.


I bought the Black/ Slate and bought a White and Silver for the wife on Friday. She wanted black, but there was only one left in the store and she had told me that if needed, she would go with a white one.

She now wants a pink otterbox though....

A pink slate one would have been boss all the way lol. I'd have gotten one like that, and rode out all the man jokes without a glance at anyone lol.

That being said, I got the white one. I would have gotten either, but this was the only one they had in South Carolina a couple days ago lol.

Initially I thought Black looked so much better and if I decided to sell the 4s then black is the way I would go.

However I've since read lots of reports suggesting that the black metal band chips and scratches revealing bright steel underneath. It looks horrendous and apparantly occurs even with light and careful use age.

With this in mind I think white is the safer choice. As the band is already metal coloured any scratches or dinks are much less noticeable. My missus got a white one and has had it for a day. It has already picked up a tiny scratch on the band. God knows how she didn't even take it outside... Either way it is barely noticeable but would stick out like a sore thumb on the black model.

I have added a pick to illustrate what I mean

Despite the scuff problem, I still like my choice in the black & slate..

Had planned on babying it but just handling it normal now- why pay for insurance if you don't end up swapping at some point anyway?

Sooooo glad I got the white!!! Reports are pouring in all over about scuffs on the black/slate model. I really like the white one so far. My black bumper came in today and it looks OK, but is just temporary until more cases come out and I have some options...

Went with the Black & Slate. I had my mind set on it from the get-go. Now it's a reality. I'm happy

Just ordered my iPhone 5 in Black/Slate.

I have a White 4g now and was going to get the black one but after seeing both of them in the store I think I'm leaning toward the whit one.

I have, in the past, always favored the white models- but the new black/slate option is so friggin' slick... I just cant believe how much I love it lol. I dont think I will be able to put any cases on this bad boy.

I can't order my 5 until 11/1/12, but I'll get black and slate...its the only choice really.

[jinye]

Just pre-ordered Black and Slate. It was always my only choice, it's so gorgeous!

It's going to take about 3-4 weeks to come

I was planning on getting a white one until I saw the new design. I think the white looks better than the black with the glass back. But the new aluminum backing the black/slate looks better to me. The white/silver looks exactly like my MBP...love the way it looks but I don't want my phone to look the same..

 

[zonezone2]

I think white & silver as like as the apple style

But my name on the wait list, at target, tonight for black slate. Shortest wait list I could find. The apple store in my city is insane.

I used to not care what color iPhone I got since I like both the black and white iDevices. Then I saw the Darth Vader black iPhone 5 and knew right away that I was the color I wanted.

 

[RG13]
