Black.
Got more of a sleek look to it compared to the white. I also feel the black aluminium is a fresh new look compared to the standard silver aluminium on the white model.

White and silver. I don't get that there is a reason that the black coatings should be scuffing and chipping. I have many aluminum woodworking tools anodized black. Yes, some stored in fancy foam protected layout sets, but others piled in a toolbox. No chips or even scuffs. It is not as if it is a new process.
Oh, joy, this again
I have a white one, simply because I think that it looks nicer. The black looks nice as well though; you should go to the store and check them both out; see which one works for you.
I've had mine a month, looks like it did out of the box. I think people only get chips and scuffs if they treat it poorly.
Not true. And even if it was it wouldn't work cause us ladies know that it's totally unfashionable to carry a white ipad after Labor Day. But black is year around.
Not to mention that black is more slimming
That's easy. A black one for me, a white one for my wife.
The main benefit? When at home, at a glance, we know which one is which.
The only exception being that hers is five times faster than mine, but that's another story.
That's nice for you; there was a quite a large number of posts by people complaining about chipping and scuffing or peeling (around the ports esp. I believe) within a week or two despite careful handling, and others who found damage out of the box. I didn't have reason to think they were lying.
white.
i like the chrome, really reflected chamfer on the edge of the screen. on the black model, this is muted.
also, the fact that the whole ipad is 1 tone - black, seems kind of boring and too plain for me.
I am a fan of the white iphone 5 too. but for the iphone 4s, and the ipad 4, i prefer the dual tone of metallic and black. like the macbook pros too

I like the white.
Just a personal preference of mine. I always prefer white for my Apple products.
