O hello yellow
that looks awesome! :O
could u do mine in pink???? ))
The yellow doesn't look that great... Maybe black with yellow highlights.
not bad! 10char
I think I'm gonna be sick....
Nice man!

VERY nice!
I would have kept the kickstand red though. Would've looked even cleaner.

I sure can .... " Hot Pink " ...
What kind of paint did you use? I'd like to do mine orange...
From the front it looks awesome, not to much on the back(just my opinion). Think if you would've left the back black and just painted the kickstand and the HTC yellow it would've been pretty sick. Again,not trying to be a **** just my opinion.
Nice job, that looks pretty nice actually. Looks terrible with the blue case though ;-)
Yellow with the red kickstand would have been really sexy though

I agree with some of the other guys ..I wouldnt of paint the whole back yellow..and the paint isn'tsmooth in a couple areas...its. not for me since I'm happy with the phone as is..but I applaud your bravery

Ditto. I feel the yellow was overdone. It also looks like it was one thick coat sprayed on in haste. A few very thin coats would have come out great (I'll bet this one stays tacky for a while, or it will chunk off if it catches a nail or something) but, of course, it's all personal preference.
I think it's a fantastic idea but you shouldve kept a 2 color thing going. Maybe black and yellow as one mentioned around the camera and kickstand,

Cool idea! I like the orange. I agree with the others tho, a two tone would look nicer. I was actually expecting to see a yellow/black combo based on the thread title.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. I will take them into consideration.
I'm still waiting for my pre-order of the full clear body skin from bodyguardz. Consider it a pre show ... I'll update once I get all the fixin's and accessories...
Nice! Can't go wrong with some contrast like black kickstand to represent bumblebee stripes.
I think it would've looked a lot better if you kept the highlights a different color, a solid color phone doesn't look that appealing to me.
But nice job, if you like it, that's what matters.

update2: it's funny to see that so many people used this image as promotion picture =_=
Just do a reverse google image search on the image....
update: Unexpectedly Samsung actually released SGA in white a few months later.
Ever since Samsung Galaxy S II got a white version I became curious how a SGA would like in white.
The white backplate makes our device half white, and it doesnt really match the black front imo.
So here is a concept of how it would look like if the front was white too:
Better or worse?
White looks better with white in this case, so in conclution it's better imo.
(I used GO launcher ex for the homescreen if you wonder.)

I sighed cause we know it's never gonna happen haha.
I've been looking for ways to make my front panel white, e.g. look up chinese mock up front panels or something, but I haven't found anything of the like.
If anybody knows if this is doable, or if it happens later, can somebody please msg me about it, or something?
Thanks. I like white better.
Mine is half white half black, it came with two covers.
I am halfway to that ! haha
i want a green ace
A user from android-hilfe has paint his ace

i love white..
At least for the people in Germany this Concept will become reality.
Maybe the rest of the world will follow.

I want one too
Too bad we can just change the cover, the guy painted his ace but didnt showed the front part, i wonder if it still black.
Thought I would take some side by side photos of the Champagne and Grey primes while I have both. The Grey is going back to best buy this weekend.

Great comparison. This would help alot of people.
how does the finger print smudging on the back compare? Does the champagne show fingerprints as awfully as the graphite does?
The Champagne doesn't seem to show the smudges nearly as much, but I have only had it for a day so I really can't say for sure.

Always better to get RL pictures than the promo shots.

Appreciate the piccys though, thanks left.

I agree with this, i've had both and i was always cleaning the grey version, i hardly need to do any cleaning with this silver one
Grey one looks much better n sleek looking ...the light colored one has more of a cheap look to it. Doesn't stand out it and pop like the dark grey one. I have the grey one

Ya, the Champagne was on its maiden charge and i was downloading ICS and all the updates for it and what not. Otherwise I wouldn't have had it plugged in.

One thing that i noticed is that the ASUS logo sticks out a lot more on the Champagne. The photos seem show this as well.
Why does my grey Prime doesn't look at all like the photo? It actually looks exactly like the PR images from ASUS...
The photo-grey-prime looks almost black

It's just lighting in the photos. My grey prime also looks purple-y like the PR pictures. I prefer the colour, makes it look different from other tablets. : )
I've found it nearly impossible to photograph these things and really show their colors, partly because they both look so different in different lighting. Don't like how either of them look? Then just hold it at a different angle to the light...
I've had both side-by-side, and I think each has its charms. Interestingly, I do find the combination of the Champagne Gold tablet with the Amethyst Gray dock to be quite striking.
...and then I started drinking. Here the results:

Why would you plasti-dip your back cover......just curious....however the paint scheme looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger's make-up in Conan The Barbarian movie!!!
I've tried using that stuff before and it will eventually start peeling off.

I hate putting cases on my phones, especially something this massive. I felt like the back of the Note3 was so slippery, so rubber coating it was my best option. For the record I love it. The grip is awesome and it makes the whole phone feel more substantial when it's in my hand. The coating also makes vibrate less obnoxious when the phone is resting on a hard surface.
As far as peeling I'm hoping it won't be a problem for a while. I literally went through almost an entire can just on this back cover so it's on there fairly thick. 10+ thick coats lol.
Looks gorgeous. Always wanted to try some sort of coating for better grip on my note 2. Doubt it'll look that good though that looks fantastic

That's a pretty cool pattern. How did you do that...with some kind of template or something? I never heard of plasti-dipping.
Nice thing about plasti-dip is if you get tired of it, you can peel it off and try another color or pattern.

I actually did it with a paper plate. I would hold it over a certain area and was doing short bursts of paint with the spray can across certain areas, alternating white and black til I ended up with an overall look that I liked.
Plasti-dip is cool because it covers really well and you don't have to prime or prep the surface. And as someone else mentioned you can just peel it right off when you don't want it any more.
I had hoped, with a previous phone, that the adhesiveness would have been better with this spray, but in less than a week, it started peeling off on its own.

None so far. I'll let you know if I have any issues but to be honest I don't think this coating will be peeling off any time soon considering how many coats I put on it.
Looks awesome. Might have to try it out.

I like it. But then again looks are subjective.
I personally find it a nicer looking phone than the nexus 6 from Moto.

It has a distinct look, and I'm not so sure there are any other phones with that black bar for antennas.

Originally yes. However the better pictures of it look much better and I like the Graphite look quite a bit now.
looks like cyclop's phone..i personally dont like it but i will eventually get used to it
Yeal ,I think too ,but the Nexus 5x is more ugly than 6p
Do you think 2G RAM is batter than 3G RAM?
The initial renders had me a little worried, but after seeing it via the "hands on" videos... I don't think it looks bad at all.
The side view reminds me of Bender

^^^^^That comparison makes no sense.
I am fine with the look of the phone, I'm more concerned about the screen than the back of the phone, I mean how often do you stare at the back of your phone?
Honestly, if the back actually looked like a raccoon, I'd like it even more. Call it the Nexus Raccoon and take my money Google.

Props to your point. My favorite fighter/attack aircraft.
Back to the topic, I think the all metal finish makes up for the camera hump. When the 6P leaked I wasnt impressed. Now I think it's quite attractive.

Makes perfect sense to me @Big Cam. The term beauty can refer to function over form like that beautiful machine ^^^^^ and the N6P.

I hated the look at first when I saw the leaks, but after seeing real photos, especially the graphite black, it looks much nicer. I think if it was plastic it would look a lot worse.
Overall design is ugly. Bezels huge, back dull.

You are definitely not the only one, but I think it looks just fine. It's a great looking phone, I don't really care about what they did on the back, it's not hideous or anything. Of course this is a completely opinion based argument. There's no facts being discussed here.
At least it doesn't look like an iPhone! It's nice to have a phone with a little character.
Buy a case thats what I am doing, I'm not liking the black bar myself. But a case will fix that
I'm planning to buy the s6 edge this month and I was initially decided to get the gold version. I usually don't like the gold color on phones but this one on the edge isn't very pronounced and in different light situations it looks silverish. A gold device with a clear UAG case looks amazing imo.
The problem is, here in Romania, the gold version is ridiculously exepensive compared to the other models. The difference is almost 150 euro.
So I turned my eyes to the green model. I think it looks spectacular, but I'm personally not a big fan of green in general. I've never seen it in real life, only in videos, and I just find it kinda awkward.
Does any one own a green phone and have some impressions? I would prefer opinions from male members. I can totally picture a girl with it, but I guess that's what I find awkward about it, I think it looks kinda girly.
If anyone has a clear UAG case I would love to see some pics.
Re
I have a green one but i like green in general. It was a love of the first sight. It looks either green, cyan or black according to the lighting conditions and plays nicely with light. Gold does the same. Green is in my opinion more subtle than gold. I just don't get it, how is it possible to have such a difference in price just for color? Have you searched other European nations? Here in Greece it costs 540 euros (any color). I don't know how much it is there.
Deff go with green. You will not regret it.. Gold is tacky color choice for electronics imo.
I work for a telco and am fortunate enough to own both the green one and the gold one.
The gold one is pretty and definitely gets some attention but I think it's a bit to shiny and not a very special color.
The green one is way cooler, it has a color I have never seen on a handset before, it's beautiful in the sunlight but doesn't beg for attention. It's more subtle.
My choice: green! Most of my colleagues also prefer the green

Green for sure - as others have said, it's very subtle/classy. I've just paired it with these headphones too - killer combo!

No doubt, green is great…And I don't like gold devices,also, there is no need to pay more for gold devices .
I shot some pics of both the green and gold ones side by side, hope this helps
Why choose when u can have both?
