Does anyone know if the white housing for a i9000 (seen here: http://cnn.cn/shop/samsung-i9100-galaxy-white-housing-p-13328.html) can be swapped and will fit a AT&T Galaxy S2?
it probably would but.... you wouldn't be able to replace the front of the device...
white housing is like 10-15 bucks on ebay if you want to try lol

The second mic would not line up if you used this housing.
Didn't they start selling these in white at AT&T..? or is that just the Slowrocket?

thanks for the pics, no offense, but those pics are terrible.
you could've taken a screen shot or snap a pic with your webcam instead of taking a pic of your screen.
any possible way to get clearer pics? would love to see that color combo (white back and black front).
besides grinding off that notch, everything snaps into place?
sorry for the pics ... let me see what i can do and for everything else it fits perfectly except for that ... i will try to post better pics later!
Any updates?
if there is no way of change the front,, then it does not worth the hassle.
Curious now...but since you have both cases...does the i9100 battery cover fit the i777

Yeah, I know. The phone is in the case and the case covers the white part. The phone looks better in one color.
de I777 battery cover fit the I9000 but the I9000 didn't fit the I777 Housing... the why??? Q&A i dunno know! but maybe it was just in my case... currently have white housing black battery cover and black vol. and power buttons! trying a red one in the next few weeks

Can't wait to see this. I really want to see how this turns out! Any kind of color change to give your phone that custom look would be amazing.
Missed the rubber back cover from my x10 mini pro.
Looks a little like a liquorice allsort but hey......
Just in case someone wondered how it looks.

That's not bad I've been tempted to do something with mine, like buy a new white back to sand and paint after I saw someone with a tiny black triforce on the corner of theirs.
That looks cool. If the black parts were non-slip............

When doing anything like this, take things apart! This is just a battery cover and they can be bought easy online. It's going to be hours a day before its usable anyway so do this to a spare.
If the solvents used don't agree with the plastic (I've spilt acetone when doing nails before) then you've ruined a spare cover
Good idea! That look so cool.
Make a pretty nice looking cover that....
I bought blue cover for my white Sk17i
it's look very pretty and I find the texture better than the white cover
May I ask where you can buy an official new black back cover? Mine is pretty beat up right now...
love the white backcover-adv no scratches and it looks new always
I found a new stock battery cover on ebay for about $17.
Mine in the first post is a genuine black one from ebay. Only £4.95.

Depends on what you like best, I hear the white ones get small hair cracks in it, but that's just hearsay, just do some research.

I had the black one and switched to the white one and I like the white one better. Its more classy

White is a girl's phone color. To me, when the screen is off, the white phone looks like crap...white on the bottom and top and a big black screen. You don't have that issue with a black phone.

White for me. I dont think its a girls phone. It attracts alot of attention. Only downside is the zagg protector yellows after a while :-/

I always thought the two color choices were white and carbon blue... Where are you guys finding a black one at?
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...laxy+Note+(TM)+-+Carbon+Blue&q_sku=sku5610251
Love the grippy back on the black phone. Plus I think it will show less wear and tear over time than white\chrome. Also, when trying to decide, the light bleed on the buttons on the white phone really irritated me. So I went with black (to the poster above, Carbon Blue is black. there is nothing blue about it).
To each their own, don't want to be part of a flame war. It was just what led me to the decision (which I assume is what the OP is trying to do).
Had the black Note for about 3 weeks, then traded it for a white one. I've always had black phones and just wanted to switch it up. The white phone just looks fresh to me. I've got an Elago slim case and a SGP oleophobic screen protector on, so I'm not really worried about it getting dirty.
My note is black, my case is black, my headphones are black. But in the end it's just a color (or lack thereof depending on your perception). If they only offered just white, I would have got that and been just as happy. I say get the one you think is pretty and you'll be fine

I got the white note and have the brown flip case... Looks like a journal when i take it out of my pocket. I like the looks of the white and got a glas.t so no yellowing like with the zagg.

I like the white in theory, but as others noted (ha) the contrast of the black screen against the white case is a little stark, especially when the screen is so big.
The trim cracking is also a concern, so when I exchanged my carbon blue I stayed with that color. I recently helped my mom upgrade to a new iPhone and we got her a white one - she's quite happy with that, although black or dark cases on it look quite weird. My Note with a cheapo black TPU case looks excellent.
Everybody has black phones. So I went white. It's pretty
I had the white one. To be honest it looked like a big bar of soap. I like my black one better now
Sent from my SGH-I717D using xda premium
I don't like that the white one has a glossy back battery cover. The black looks nice when screen is off and I like the texture of black's battery door.
I have a hair line split on my white note, but the translucent cases look nice on the White Phone.
When did Samsung release a black version?

The black people are referring to is the carbon blue model, because the front face is actually black, and the back cover is basically black, with maybe a tiny tiny hint of blue in the right lighting. Easier to say black than carbon blue.

Love my white one. Using ghost armor on it and get a lot of compliments. The phone attracts attention to matter what because of the size, but white slightly more. That can be both good and bad, up to u

I'm well aware that it's Carbon Blue and not black. Just poking some fun at those calling it the wrong color.

Hi all.
Are there people who have the white S3 for a while and noticed if the phone is a bit scratch proof? Or gets dirty by getting in and out the pocket with maybe small scratch marks? Or maybe losing the nice white color?
I wanted to order the white S3 but the guy I spoke of Vodafone advised me to take the blue one because of some complaints with the white color.
Any negative experiences?

mine got S3 white. even i used it recklessly, getting in and out my jeans pocket always, but it's still looks damn sexy.. i realized there's a bit scratch on my back cover, but it's only soft scratch, only visible if you look very carefully..
the color is still white, didn't got dirty at all..
and about gorilla glass, I'm satisfied that there's no scratch at all..

I am having white with no problem....
But in the first lot it arrived only white in the market here in Kuwait, I did not like the look of Blue in the pictures, now the Blue started arriving and sold very fast,
On my first physical look I really liked it, it looks entirely different than it looks in the pictures, We are already familiar with the same white models of SGS2 and Note, but the Blue is really a new shining metallic look which no other Phone has come with yet.
No stains or fading whatso ever.. reckless use still no scratches.. very satisfied.. tho i wud want a black coloured handset..

After reading the newspaper you got stains on a white phone. And after that you decide to return the phone??? Didn't you know that newspaper in will 9/10 will stain your hands and you can transfer ink to objects you touch afterwards?
I'm sorry but to change a phone for that reason sounds to be unreal. First I would try to see if the stains on the phone are removed with a bit of warm wetted cloth. Its more than likely that they will go away. What makes you think the blue wont stain? Just because you don't see it doesn't mean its not going to be dirty!
Scratches I don't worry about if they happen on the back cover as you can easily buy a new one. I believe both phone are equal when it cones to being scratched, its only a matter of what you can see, and on my white s3 for 5 weeks now I haven't seen any discolorations any dirt that could not be removed easily or anything else.
Only reason to choose one color or he other would be simple preference.

I'm using the official flip case, was using a sunglasses pouch until it was released lol.
Mines still in mint condition, the cases aren't worth the £30 they were launched at but you can get one for £15 on amazon now. I Had an issue with some peeling, hopefully a one off defect. They are not fantastic quality but screen is shielded and if you scratch the back just buy another in future. Keeping the original in the box
Had a bumper case on my s2 but didn't want to risk scratching the screen this time. Not that I did manage to scratch on my s2.
My sister has blue s3, personally I'm glad I got white, I think it looks better.
