I have youtube'd a few reviews and am getting to like it a bit more. Seems that cases look better on it! Any suggestions on screen protectors / cases?

I suggest screen protector on front and back and bumper case for the sides
 
I'm a man as well and I think the white iPhone looks great. I see tons of men with white iPhones. Not sure when/why white became girly. And I of can't believe a 36 year old man actually still worries about issues like this! :)
 
I am off all week for holidays, and dropped my iPhone in the bath about an hour ago. Natwest have agreed to replace it under the terms of my insurance. However they had no black in stock, so said I could have the white instead.

I am not sure if it is a little bit girly or not lol? I am a 36 year old man, you reckon I can carry it off haha!? On a more serious note, I read that these do not scratch as easily and stand the test of time better?

Oh and hats off to Natwest mobile phone insurance, on the phone 20 mins and new phone being shipped tmoz!

I got an email about upgrading my NatWest account with included insurance. You have the Select Platinum account? Might upgrade with this sort of service!
 
White is a great choice for women. If you're a man I'm not sure what you were thinking.
hmmm

Girly?

Lol your post made me chuckle lol. Good post.
 
if you like the white phone then its a good choice.

The debate about the white phone being girly, is just plain silly. If you like it, then get it. The color of a phone has no impact your gender or what people perceive.

get a pink one then...

I have a Gold account which they no longer offer. The insurance is the same I believe, my excess was only £50! I now have an extra charger and lightning cable plus spare earphones and sim ejector as well!

Nice one! I read the small print and the excess is £50 on the Select Platinum, so must be the same sort of thing. At least if you claim with NatWest they wont increase your premium next year, unlike the house insurance.

I think its a good choice but its a subjective choice because everybody's preferences are different. I'm a 30 year old man and preferred the white version to the black. I don't understand why some think the white is more feminine because its simply not. You can't get much more neutral than black or white so I think that puts it into perspective.

Plus a black iPhone 5 box :D

PS: Tim Cook has a white iPhone 5 :apple:
 
The black one is more cool, white one become very very dirty after finger touching for a while (like playing fruit Ninja). When they become old, the black one is more more good-looking as white one. :confused::confused::confused:
 
I like the white and I'm a guy. The contrast with the white/silver is sharp. But then again, I own a 16GB black iPhone 5 myself.

That ain't saying much in terms of trying to make the white appear just as manly as the black.
 
I've been around for 72 years. In that time I had a 17 year marriage to a woman. I bought a white phone. Who knew I was a girl all that time.

Really I bought the white iPhone because I knew the black phone would show wear by a great extent more than the white because the natural color of aluminum is silver that is very close to white. Besides it looks great.
 
Very happy with my choice, got a screen protector on it this time. Not sure about a case, any suggestions?
 
The bigger question you should be asking yourself is why you are coming to a forum full of strangers, jerks, newbs and the such for advice on the color of a phone. Does it matter? No.
