Question about white iPhone 4 and current screen protectors

They have the same style proximity sensor (the pill shape). It's just not noticeable on the black because the sensor is also black. It's more noticeable in direct sunlight.

I agree. They didn't change the style of proximity sensor just for saving money ?

If you have a screen protector on the white iphone 4, the sensor wont work. When youre on a call the screen light will stay on.

Wrong, mine works perfect.

If this was true...

Don't you think it would be a little more of a big deal among iPhone 4 users? As mentioned above, the screen protectors made for the Black iPhone 4 are completely compatible with the white iPhone 4!

Looks like someone was attempting to make a quick buck by promoting "White iPhone 4 screen protectors"! Congrats on your new White device

There are issues with the screen protectors and the white iPhone. My white iPhone works fine with the screen protector. My wife's on the other hand had sensor issues. Unless screen protector was removed. Verizon went through 4 screen protectors and finally the 5th worked. Until I got home and remixes it wasnt on straight tried to adjust it and it stopped working again. Don't know if its the screen protectors or a major design flaw in the white iPhone. Going back tomorrow for the to go through another 2 packs of screen protectors to get it on straight and working. If there are special white iPhone screen protectors verizon doesn't have them.

my sgp rear protector was causing my flash to blowout pictures.

Actually it is true (maybe not all the time). And even the lady at AT&T said so the other day but I forgot all about it until mine wasn't working and I was searching the issue and came across this.

In any event, why is this? It really sucks that my sensor isn't working just because I have a screen protector. I have the id America Dryice case with the included screen protector and it makes the phone look flawless. But I'm highly irritated with this issue. Are we going to get it a fix or is it a "don't use a screen protector then" type thing? Thanks.

Could anyone clarify this issue? I'm buying my dad a white iphone next week and I would like to get him a screen film as well. Thanks.

White iPhone 4.
Zagg InvisibleShield on both front and back.
No issues with either the proximity sensor or the flash. Sensor is covered by the shield, flash and camera lens are not via cutout.
