Maybe the white iPad doesn't photograph well, but the white looks milky in most real world pics. If the white is clean it looks good.
Orange and white reminds me of a dreamsickle.
I think red and black looks good.
I'd wait til 3rd party covers come out with a back cover attached to a similar magnetic cover like the Apple one. just not sure how easy it would be to avoid covering the back camera with the front flap?
 
I'm really liking the orange and white combo. It was calling to me and then I realized it was because it reminded me of my original tangerine iBook.

I am kind of liking white and orange combo also, but mainly because it reminds me of a creamsicle and they are delicious.
 
be honest: would a white ipad and red case look feminine? I can't quite tell

I don't think so. I don't know why guys are worrying whether a white iPad is "girly" when girls aren't worrying if a black iPad is "manish"

Although I am a girl and getting white :)

People worry too much about what others think instead of just going with what they think looks the best. It's unfortunate in society today that people actually worry that their peers will make fun of them for the color of a personal electronic device.

Only reason I am getting black is because it matches all the other Apple stuff I have better, and I also think it looks better with the aluminum casing on the back of the iPad.
 
thanks for the feedback. I may get the white and red, but the black and red is kind of cool too. reminds me of the old U2 ipod!
 
Tough question. Had black iPhone 3G. Wanted the white iPhone 4 but we all know how that went. Now I really like my black iPhone 4, I have a reflective back, so only the front has a black bezel.
As far as the iPad2 goes I'm thinking black will be the way I go. I just think it feels more natural and easy on the eyes when watching video or looking at pictures. I wonder if the white will show fingerprints less well or seem to have less glare because of less contrast. Those factors could sway me towards a white one. Dont really want to see them in person, I'd rather just order from store.apple.com on 3/11 but maybe patience will pay off.
 
I'm actually thinking the white one doesn't look too bad, plus it's kinda a "retro apple" thing as well...
 
Been going back and forth - wanted a white with black leather cover but now thinking black on black or black on red leather - case colors anyone? Poly or leather?
 
Once you go black, you never go back. That's what they say.

If you're debating on getting a white iPad, why not do it? There's some interest, it's different, and it does look one of a kind.
 
I am female, and will be buying the white Ipad 64GB with pink cover! :)

ditto! but the problem here is that.. i settled for the iPhone 4 black bc i was too impatient to "wait" for the white to arrive... so i have a big ole wrench in the plan

original iphone = alum
iphone 3g = white
iphone 4 = black
macbook = white
imac = alum


white would have been a no brainer... but nowwww WTF! :confused:
 
Both

I like how Apple put the dark skin dude on the black iPad and the light skin girl on the white iPad, lol. :p (We know they own the opposite color)
