I have always gone white, and I really want to get black.

But I cannot get over the fact that the tiniest scratch on that bezel will reveal the silver underneath the coating, and that will ruin it completely. There is nothing worse than a speck of silver on a beautifully anodized casing.

"Buy a case" if I put a case on it, then it completely detracts from the beautiful distinction of the black phone.
 
I got the black 4S at launch (first iPhone) but switched to the white 4S within 30 days because the black iPhone reminded me too much of my iPod touch 4G. The white isn't bad, but I'm switching back to black for the iPhone 5. It has a nice look!
 
I just bought 2 of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0092TQHP2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

Im still struggling but the look of these on the black iPhone 5 is really pushing me over the edge to just get black....but I know once mophie updates the juice pack and i put it on ill wish I got white haha.

Got to admit that is a sleek looking case. Really looks good on the black version. I'm still torn because I've had a black android for the past two years and wouldn't mind a white one this year. Got a whole day to decide.

white going black.

3G - Black
3Gs - White (loved the white plastic look)
4 - Black (thought it looked a lot better)
4s - White (changed my mind about the white, liked it better)
5 - Black (Black looks better in this model to me)
 
I've been on the fence on this one all day after the keynotes.
I love the black anodized back but white with the aluminum finish is fresh and clean.

I'm still undecided but I have a feeling i'll end up going white tomorrow night.

3GS - White
4 - White
5 - ?? :)
 
I was leaning toward getting a white iPhone since I've only had black iPhones thus far. However, upon seeing them on Apple's site I still love black! I also plan on getting a Lifeproof case, so if I have any regrets I can at least make it look white.
 
3G - Black
3GS - White
4 - Black
4S - White

Leaked photo's I prefered the white and was going to break my pattern, but I think I have decided on Black
 
Black... going... black. I was going to go white, but the new black iPhone 5 just looks awesome. :apple:
 
This decision has been a long process for me. I've switched back and forth a bunch of times, but my final decision is white.

Since the black is anodized and I'm terribly clumsy, I would scratch it up an would have all of these silver scratches and dents on my phone. I don't think white will be as prone to that.
