i know is preference but i can tell you that i returned the white version (after a week) and got the black version today because of the BLACK BORDERS around the phone. The black version DOES NOT HAVE IT. u might think because is black it does have borders and u can't see it because the bezel and borders are both black. This is not the case. the black bezel covers all around the screen, while the white bezel does not. it's noticeable both in direct sun light.
here is how a white version looks with black border, i tried to live with it and it was so annoying that i gave up on it.
I'm not a fan of white call me a phone racist

I'm taking a really close look at my black one and I'm pretty sure it has the exact same gap that just stands out more in the white edition
OP are you serious? I'm pretty sure all G2 phone have that border, its just the black phone would be obviously harder to notice.

True
I don't give a crap about this border, I am still going to get the white one. The black one does have a gap as well but it is just less noticeable because of the black bezel around it.
Wow. Good ol xda.
Just slap on a big and extremely chunky case that greatly overlaps the front bezel. Problem solved! Lol.

Please post some pics! I'm thinking about one of these combos.... But would like to see it first
I recall some ppl doin that short after the phone hit markets, calling the combo "panda"
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
So no Pandas running around these parts?
Actually the Panda phones are black phones with a complete white housing. However when changing the housing from black to white the screen and the glass part around the screens staid black, the rest of the housing was white, thus panda/stormtrooper.
I have a white X10, my dad has a black one, so you I can make pictures of the black/white X10 . I'll be able to post pictures this weekend.
Id like to see that aswell as i have the black one but thinking of changing to white or a mix

It would be interesting to see the other 2 combos that haven't been shown yet.
White with black battery cover and full black housing with white digitizer glass.
I want to try but i don't have the tools and not very good in dismounting stuff

Did a quick job of laying down a piece of 3M Di-Noc on my phone. Will reapply as time permits. Thought I would share the results if any of you thought about doing the same.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Good idea. Which color did you use? Looks like gloss black, is that right? I'm sort of wondering whether the gloss red or the silver would look too crazy.
Edit: For those wondering - http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com/blog/3m-carbon-fiber-di-noc-now-available-in-7-different-colors/
I got one coming from XO Skins. Someone on here had it and it looked sweet. I would rather pay extra and have it pre-cut perfectly then mess around with cutting it myself not to mention I would have to buy the tape still anyway. This is the one I got here They also have them in a few other colors, it also covers the bottom half of the phone. Use code SPRINTXO at checkout gives you 30% off about a wash for shipping.
I ordered mine from phantomskinz.com

I used the black carbon fiber film. There is a roll of silver cf sitting on my workbench, will peel of the black in the morning and will take a pic in silver.
antenna
Will it interfere with the antenna reception?

I don't think it will interfere with the antennas. Its only a thin piece of vinyl printed with a cf design. Far less material compared to a tpu case or otterbox.
I just ordered one from xoskins.com. i found this discount code on line that worked SPRINTXO. it saved me a few bucks i think it was 30%
Why is the upper right corner of the front protector cut off? To not cover the Nokia logo? I just dont see the point.

That pic does not represent what the actual zag looks like. I have the maximum body protector and it fits very well. I'll try to take a pic and post but I have no complaints on how the zagg is designed.
More likely there is a fold top right, but there's not enough detail to see it.
Here's the corner that you questioned. It's not cutoff like your pic illustrated. Zagg is holding up great so far.
Thanks for the replies guys. Bought Zaggs for front+back, and a kit from Martin Fields aswell to protect entire camera section on the back. Worried though as my Lumia 920 is White and apparently, Zaggs on White phones gets a blue tint from being in pockets (blue jeans) and in general wont appear "as white" as if its not on.

Put it on front and bought this for the back. But right now im replacing my phone (see this thread) so thats a nice waste of money, heh. Did however just get my martin fields, so that means I'll have a new screen protector plus protection for metallic Nokia logo+lens.
I have a midnight blue nexus 6 with a d brand carbon fiber skin, I am looking for a case with a silver bumper and a clear back. I am not a huge fan of the blue border because none of the skins really go well wound the shade of blue they used. I have looked at the spigen and ringke cases but it's not clear in the pictures if the edge is silver or clear. Thanks
I own this one, thinking that the sides would be a silver color. When i got it, it turned out to be a darker gray. I have a black carbon fiber back and it looks good. The only visible spots you will have of the blue frame would be at your charging port and headphone jack

Any chance of getting a picture?

Here are two images of the case with a black carbon fiber back. This is my first time posting images on here, so hopefully it works

How did you get the purple lettering? I'm guessing there's a skin underneath?
It's actually pink carbon fiber dbrand skins. The phone itself came directly from dbrand, so they applied the black cover as well as the pink cover for each letter plus the moto logo.

Decided to see how the Nexus 6P's "visor" would look like in white / silver for the Frost / Aluminum models. I think it looks decent.

All of the sensors on the back are going to still be black btw, like with any white phone.

Can't hide them with white coating/stickers from Dbrand or Slickwraps? :silly:
I am just a newbie here with this technology.. What is a visor and how is it different from a case?

It's the black glossy bar surrounding the camera/sensors at the top. Google calls it the "Visor" (marketing term, I guess)
Wouldn't these block the laser focus?

Cool but it needs to be clear for the autofocus laser.
I think it kind of actually looks better with the black visor.

i'm anxious to see a teardown of this model. what is behind the glass? is the glass tinted/painted black or is there something against it that gives it the color?

if that's the case - all of this hub-bub over what to cover it with is invalidated if we can just change the plate behind it. would be sweet if you could re-position the notification LED to illuminate the back panel.
I like the black bar and I'll embrace it. Went with the Frost to emphasize it. Besides, those chamferred edges on the Frost was just too sexy to pass up.
