5S Buyers: What Color Are You Getting? [Merged]

The colour choice discussion/dilemma is interesting ... I thought it was just me!
I've always owned the black iPhone, and have owned the 3G, 4, 4s, and now the 5s. When my upgrade came round in February I was undecided between black/space grey and either of the white models.
My wife ordered the white/gold for her upgrade at the same time I ordered my eventual choice of black/space grey. The main factor was the look of the device when at sleep/off ... the white phone with this giant black rectangle. Can't be helped, but still.
Anyway having used my black/space grey for two and a half months now and having used my wife's a couple of times I wouldn't have minded.
I don't regret getting black/space grey but the way the Touch ID sensor ring is highlighted on the white models is great and it's barely noticeable on the black.
Now I don't wish that the ring was more noticeable so people "know I have a 5s", I just think the ring adds a nice finishing touch the look of the device, something the black model sadly lacks.
Not a big deal.

I just got a white/silver 5S. It's pretty damn sexy. I had a black iPhone 4 for 3+ years so I wanted a change. Plus I kept losing my old iPhone since it was black and it is now easier to find this one.
Except the one time I left it on a notebook. I couldn't find it for 30 minutes. lol. I was walking around the house yelling, "Siri?! Can you hear meeeee?!!" lol

Just got one, upgraded from an ordinary 5. Not interested in the larger screen 6.
Silver/White, as my previous iPhone was white.

I got a Silver/White 5S too. 
I chose it mainly because I don't like Gold and Space Grey didn't really highlight the Touch ID sensor too well and catches lot more fingerprints.

Waiting to see what the 6 has to offer but I'll probably get a 5S on sale. Problem is it's the first iPhone where I like all colours equally. The 4/4s was easy because the black was (is) an instant classic and the white just too white (front and back). The chipping problems of the black 5 made white/silver an easy smart choice as well. But 5S
I really like the subtle champagne colour of the gold model, yet the shiny TouchID ring looks maybe a little too "bling". The space grey back I love, but I think maybe the light, colourful iOS 7 (and 8) looks better with a white front. Hence I'm leaning towards the silver/white but that would look almost exactly like my 5 which might be a bit boring. Another first world problem, I guess
Went with white
I went with the white/Silver Iphone 5s. I did however buy a skin for mine at Dbrand, they got some cool designs. I ordered the mahogany wood design (below)

I picked up a silver/white 5S the other day, because my black 5 was stolen a couple of weeks ago at the local pride festival.
I had a hard time choosing between the space grey and the silver, though. Because I really like black/dark electronics, but the Touch ID ring being almost a completely colour kind of bothered me a little bit. But the silver won out in the end, and I'm happy with my choice.

Black and also have a black Lunatik Taktik Extreme case - looks soooooooooo sexy
Would have got a black Samsung S5 but they look soooooooooo ugly now with their imitation plastic chrome surround
Can we see a pic of the iphone
