what's this orange peel effect? I had the zagg shield on my ipod touch (not on the screen, but around the back/side of the ipod, and i thought it was awesome (no scratches whatsoever), and when it peeled off, it came off just fine as if it was never there.

edit: nvm, looked it up. i would use zagg for the phone and a static type screen protector for the actual screen (which i did for my ipod)
[Galaxy S III General] ooofest:
Yeah, this was my reasoning, too.

I'm covering it with an Amzer Shellster, so not much to get dirty, but even the Shellster for my spouse's white GSIII is white . . . I'm more comfortable with the darker colour and a dark case.

[Galaxy S III General] r3a1ist:
Anyone will settle with blue, thats not the case with white.
[Galaxy S III General] toughcookie:
I preordered the white, and if best buy ever gets their **** together i may get it this month...

I was thinking about switching for blue because im worried that the its hard to see the menu and back buttons in the sun

anyone with white, how is it?
[Galaxy S III General] IFireflyl:
The white is fantastic. The menu and back keys are completely hidden until you press a button. It's very easy to keep it clean, and you don't need to worry about not being able to see anything in the sun. I love it.
[Galaxy S III General] toughcookie:
I think the white is soo nice, so I hope I like it. I have 60 days to exchange it.
[Galaxy S III General] IFireflyl:
It's a win-win then! The phone is epic so either way you're going to have something awesome.
[Galaxy S III General] ferris2375:
A little update to the thread. I went and held a white GS2 and a white Note, then I promptly called AT&T and they are sending a white GS3 overnight, then I send back my pebble blue. :)

I like the blue, but it's too metallic shiny for my taste, and it is also purple. I wish they made black, but the white is just really crisp and eye catching to me. Lacks the metallic look that I don't like about the blue.
[Galaxy S III General] kantk20111:
I don't know what's wrong with your guys' blue S3s but on mine the capacitive buttons are invisible as well when off...I'll give about the notification light, you can barely see it, but i don't know why you guys are putting the invisible buttons as a plus for the white when even the blue has it....
[Galaxy S III General] toughcookie:
seriously! overnight? im still waiting for my preorder through best buy!!
[Galaxy S III General] ferris2375:
haha AT&T Business account, they did the same for the blue one. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] toughcookie:
so not fair! i've been with them since they took over cingular. My account says valued customer since 3/2005! I'm never ordering through Best Buy again, the place is a joke
[Galaxy S III General] ferris2375:
Sorry to hear, when are you expecting it?

What color did you get? lol
[Galaxy S III General] IFireflyl:
I've heard a lot of people say the same thing with the purple look. That makes me like my choice for white all the more. But I'm so with you on the black SGS3. I would have been all over that if it'd been an option.

It's just nice having it a little more "camouflaged" if you will. The main issue I'm hearing people have isn't with that. The main issue appears to be that the blue surface is too reflective, and that it has a purple-ish tinge in certain lighting.
[Galaxy S III General] zedomax:
Blue and White?

You can always go with the Blue/White hybrid look:

[Galaxy S III General] jojo_angelov:
I just got my I9300 last night from NegriElectronics and it is blue! I was a bit worried about the color but oh boy ... was I surprised to find out that the pebble blue is freaking stylish! It almost makes you wanna wear a suit or something haha :) And I like that, but for some people, they may not want such a stylish device, hence getting the white( I am sure the white is also cool). The color is NOT as blue as they show it on the pictures - it is more metalic blue looking. The purple button in the middle with the silver shiny edge makes it look even more amazing...I am so happy to get the pebble blue and It will also hide most of the scratches and dirt(of course i'll clean it)
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
i've been into many forums and have read many who got the blue and returned it to get the white.

if i remember right, i haven't seen any thread of white users wanting to exchange it for the blue.
[Galaxy S III General] rocketpaul:
I was wondering this, mine is invisible, you can see it less than the white one.
[Galaxy S III General] MrIwik:
I still don't get why anyone would want something that looks as cheap and childish as the white sgs3. If you ask me it looks terrible..
[Galaxy S III General] ferris2375:
Yeah because 3 shades of purple really look professional. IMO the white looks far more elegant and more sleek than the metallic overly shiny finish and 3 different shades of colors all over the Pebble Blue, which is hardly even blue in the light.

Enjoy your Barney phone. ;)

Seriously though, I don't understand how the cheesy metallic finish and purple tint are professional at all. ESPECIALLY the sides of the blue phone. Professional would have been black.
[Galaxy S III General] yeahmon:
I can't tell what color mine is because it is in a case.
[Galaxy S III General] slight22:
I'd still prefer purple

You wouldn't believe how wrong you are. I work in the "corporate" world and people care less about color. As far as being "professional" thats your opinion and it's really one that should have stayed in the 1950's.
[Galaxy S III General] MrIwik:
I will, don't worry..

Enjoy your 13yo school girls phone ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Andrewtst:
I am glad I get white, it less finger prints and it actually much longer look than blue

Blue is nice but most the times it just like black and smudge finger print.

I am happy pick up this marble white. ;-)
[Galaxy S III General] Smiffyboots:
When I got my phone, I went into the shop and held them both. It was a bit of a dilemma, both were stunning!

Thankfully, my partner said, "wow! I think that blue one is gorgeous!"

So that was it, decision made... I love my WHITE s3 ;)
[Galaxy S III General] ferris2375:
What the hell are you talking about? Read the thread man. I'm not the one who even brought up the phone color looking professional, I was responding to someone who said the white didn't. My point was if you're going to say white doesn't look "professional" then how do you say that purple does?

I was saying that black to my eye looks the most professional TO ME and I am entitled to my opinion.
[Galaxy S III General] @home:
As it's been said a few times, blue is the way to go baby, but it's nice to have a choice :cowboy:
[Galaxy S III General] ferris2375:
I do plan on doing a head to head comparison when I get the white, if for some reason I prefer the blue I do have the option to send back the white.

As far as 13 year old girls preferring white, not really. 9/10 13 year old girls would choose purple over white. Trust me I know 13 year old girls. jk

Honestly though my 5 year old daughters favorite color is purple...just sayin
[Galaxy S III General] slight22:
I never once said purple looked professional, in fact what I did say is color is irrelevant except to the person.

Professional qualifications where black is the most "professional" looking is an opinion that should have died in the fifties, color is the way to sell stuff.
[Galaxy S III General] ferris2375:
I guess, it's really a preference. I mean look how many colorful phones are out now....like 4. The rest are black, so most people own black phones.
[Galaxy S III General] mrmooa:
this is all getting really childish a bit like playstation vs xbox . once you have bought one you will fight its corner all day no matter if you really feel you have made the wrong choice.

i have a white s2 and i love, it i also have a blue s3 and its stunning.

my white one is not girlie and my blue one is not purple.

the buttons are invisible on both.
[Galaxy S III General] ferris2375:
haha Yeah it is getting a little ridiculous, I was only joking about the Barney and girl thing though. They both are awesome. On the way into work today I started liking the blue more again. ARRRGH

I need them both in my hand to decide, not an easy choice IMO. First I like one, then I like the other. Don't make me buy both Samsung!
[Galaxy S III General] NaimC:
Having used both I personally prefer blue, which from the front looks black anyway. Mainly because watching media or playing games is a better experience with a dark border. White is just a touch distracting.

I've also actually seen a white S3 with blue jeans markings on it lol. Sure it wipes off though.
[Galaxy S III General] mrmooa:
also it may have something to do with age.

older people dont like change and a white phone seems a bit flash, bit like a white suit looks great but would you wear one.

the blue looks dark indoors and in my opinion looks more classy than my white s2 which always reminds me of the girls from my youth wearing white stiletto heal shoes.

go to the shop and look at them both , the pictures on the net dont do either of them justice, there both pretty special.
[Galaxy S III General] ferris2375:
Well I'm 37 next month, but working in IT I wear business casual, no suits.

I really can't wait to see the white, but there's a good chance I may keep the blue. haha first world problems
[Galaxy S III General] slight22:
I'll second that, but i wear a lot of color in my wardrobe as not to look like all the rest who wear whites/blues/blacks for suits and shirts, and a white phone in an orange suit shirt kinda looks tacky lol
[Galaxy S III General] flame1845:
I originally ordered the blue one, but switched to white...was glad I changed. The white one for me just looks a lot nicer than the blue.
[Galaxy S III General] vnvman:
Oh man, you nailed it real hard, it made me think of the same thing the very first time I saw it :D

However the white GS3 looks better than that IMHO, thank God they got rid of that hideous chromed frame al last lol
[Galaxy S III General] apat183:
Saw the white one and ordered the blue one straight away. It looks so way better, in medium light areas it has a greyish look to it. So you getting to colors with one phone :P
[Galaxy S III General] ferris2375:
I'm interested in seeing the AT&T red version, any leaks yet?
[Galaxy S III General] BobFL:
When I saw first photos I was 100% sure I wanted the blue one. But then I saw it in person and got the white. Didn't like that metallic/terminator T-1000 look one bit :) Btw, it does pick up some black color from the case I am using but it is easily removable...
[Galaxy S III General] deependra:
since i own sgs3, ( blue one ) in my opinion Blue looks better than white.

anything related to white seems to be like a Iphone...and i hate Iphone Looks =(

[Galaxy S III General] ooofest:
I find these to be positive qualities for my phone-to-be, actually.

Different tastes.

- ooofest
[Galaxy S III General] daranx:
Or, you can do what I did (which is infinitely easier and cheaper than replacing the digitizer):

Buy a replacement back cover in the other colour. I've got the white GS3 and bought a genuine pebble blue back cover. Looks nice, but I find the blue to be a smudge magnet. I just change it whenever my mood calls for it :laugh:
[Galaxy S III General] ferris2375:
So I thought having both in hand would make my decision easier. It didn't. I think I like the back of the blue better and the front of the white better. I don't think the back of the blue looks good on white though. aaaargh

I really don't think I've ever been so undecided on something in my life. lol
[Galaxy S III General] gsw5700:
Look, just lookup "white phones are feminine" and you'll get loadsa hits, all the guys i know have black/blue phones, girls have white phones, its just the way it is.

Sent via TCP/IP
[Galaxy S III General] :
No, that's the way your group of friends are. The guys I know went with white cause rocking a purple button phone is more gay than a white full body phone.
[Galaxy S III General] ferris2375:
C'mon guys no need to go there again.

Well after going back and forth...a lot...I've decided the following.

1) White generally looks cooler in person. It stands out, it's crisp and clean, and just looks cool.

2) Blue is very sleek, it's a bit more conservative even with the metallic finish, but still very pleasing to the eye. It's really not that purple, but depending on surrounding light it can appear to in some ways.

3) White looks cooler from the front.

4) Blue looks cooler from the rear. :D

As much as I like the white, it's just a little too much for me personally. So while I tend to like it better, I'm more comfortable walking around with the blue. That probably made no sense but I'm going with blue so there.
[Galaxy S III General] Mubble:
Blue is for business men.

White is for teenagers.
[Galaxy S III General] NightxFall:
I tried both the blue and the white. Blue looks much more higher quality with the metal finish but theyre both really nice. I think the white is more flashy that's why I went with the blue.

IMO the only reason to go with the white is if: you want a flashier device, you don't like blue, or the slightly purpleish home button bothers you. Honestly the button isn't THAT purple. It blends in ok.
[Galaxy S III General] clockcycle:
Since it's a darker color, the smudges reflect, where they don't on white.

I have the blue, and it doesn't show the smudges as badly as glossy black phones.

Also from experience on my White Note, the capacitive buttons' light bled quite a lot and if it were not for someone posting their opinion on here, I would have thought it was me being anal. It really never bothered me, but it is very noticeable. The button icons aren't seen as just the icons, but rather a lit oval blob with a bright icon in the center..

Where on the blue I only see a lit icon, even in a dark room.

EDIT: I really liked my White Note, it stood out, caught attention. I usually use lime, red or yellow back covers that draw more attention. I had a 0.2mm ultra slim translucent yellow frost tpu that showed up great, as well as a yellow diamond translucent tpu that made it shimmer like gold. This time for the Blue, I ordered a ultra thin translucent frost clear/gray & yellow hard snapon, translucent frosted red & azure ultra thin tpu, mercury pearl yellow jelly tpu, pleomax yellow tpu. I've seen the look of these on my Note, so I am really waiting on my Best Jelly Soft Lime and Brown tpu..
[Galaxy S III General] HotInEER:
My wife has the white one, and I picked my blue one up today. I admit while I was waiting on my blue one to come in I was having second thoughts on getting the white one.

It was actually the first white phone I saw that I liked, but after seeing the blue one I'm glad I held out. It's such a sexy phone and it's more of a gunmetal color on the front and when the light hits it, it's even more beautiful.

The back looks like beautiful granite with all the clean lines and color, and the thing I love is the sides are blue. The silver plastic on the sides of the white one makes the phone look cheap IMHO.

Bottom line, you can't go wrong with either. I do think the white one stands out a little more, where the blue one is more conservative and elegant, and when the light hits it, BAM
[Galaxy S III General] sargasso:
The wheels on my roller skates are the brightest girly pink you can imagine but still I am not ready to carry a white phone around. It really baffles me but I'm not going into therapy about it. So blue, with the purple button - which is the color of tolerance - is the color for me since apple claimed the color black for smartphones.
[Galaxy S III General] HotInEER:
I see where everyone keeps saying a purple button, but mine is blue.
[Galaxy S III General] Blutonic:
Same experience here. White seems to be a new color for me. Especially after seeing it in person, it looks gorgeous

[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
yup aside from me being tired with black way back nokia 5110 days, the reason you gave is another reason because the girls around me like taking pics with my what they say as "cute,lovely,slim,sexy" phone. free kisses on my cheek and all, who woudln't want that?

let's all have fun with our phone and our girl friends.

Compared 8 S3's... had tint issues on all the blue onsz... the white ones had a better display..donno whats the real reason causing it... so returnd the blue one nd got the white one... blue ones hav more ink marks as compared to white one...

As per the looks the blue is superior with looks..has that feeling of 38k,damn worth it!! :)

But had to compromise with looks nd went with white nd have better display now :)

[Galaxy S III General] vnvman:
To be completely honest, you're very right on this one.
[Galaxy S III General] ooofest:
The white phone had a better display than blue phones? Unless the phones you saw were using displays manufactured at different locations or there were some bad lots that had been only allocated for a run of blues, I'm wondering how that is possible.

[Galaxy S III General] Meemo23:
I will be very honest i never owned a white phone ever always had black phones. But to be honest i like the white one more then the blue one. It looks simple elegant and refreshing coming from black phones. I have also got now a blue one for my GF and my brother got a white one. Now she regrets getting the blue because it kind of looks cheaper then the white the brushed finish has made it really horrible looking.. Thats just my opinion everyone to their own i suppose..
[Galaxy S III General] batman372:
For me as coming from s2 white, loved the new s3 blue.

But when I am at shop buying it, I preferred the white :good:

I've got both and prefer the white one but that could be cos I've always had a black phone before
[Galaxy S III General] graffixnyc:
damn I was dead set on getting a blue one and after reading this thread I'm not so sure now.. Although a white phone never really appealed to me. I dont want one that looks like barney though but I did vow never to buy a white phone so I'd betraying myself if I did. lol

Ok So I saw a video of the white front, with a blue back.. not bad at all! It doesnt look good IMO with the blue front and white back, but the white front and blue back isn't bad at all.. hmmm

I ordered the white version from VZ. I based this decision on two factors. The first being that I have a vagina.. Secondly, I myself feel the blue version is for people that do not have a vagina. With that being said, I wont reget my decision. I'll enjoy a white phone, and continue to enjoy my girlfriend.

With a mindset like that, I hope you work up the courage to share your decision with your father. You need to free yourself, not live in shame. We support you, big guy. He knew the second he saw your purple phone. :angel:
