I was at the Apple store today and inspected and felt all of the new phones. The blacks: hate them both. Black is still black: boring as fook. The new "jet black" feels like some snotty kid with bubble gum all over his fingers handled the thing. Tacky but not in a nice way. Sucks, honestly. And I haven't even gotten to all the shiny smudge marks. Dumb! Dumb! Dumb!

Best color is rose gold this year, but that's the color that's hardest to match with a case.

My fav combination is silver with the newish light blue leather case. Second up is gold with the saddle brown case. You have to think case with most of these phones, unfortunately, as they're slippery as a baby's behind.

So hilarious that everyone suddenly loves black again. People are sheep.
 
Used my black one for a month and just switched to a jet black and I'm loving it. I prefer to use the phone without a case 90% of the time (exceptions being when I go run or something) and the jet black phone is much less slippery.

Is it you, Donald?
 
I love the look of the JB. It's just simply stunning but I hate scratches, prints I don't mind. It would be impossible to use naked due to the micro scratches and thus I'd need a case. With the Matte, it's also nice but less likely to get micro scratches from normal use.

Decisions decisions. I currently have both, which are week 41's with no hiss.
You currently have both you say, then keep both - Decision Solved!
