Why? And are u happy with your choice now? What about scratches?
 
I started with black on launch day. After 19 days, I decided that I liked the cloud white with the silver rails better and bought that model (October 9th). I have been happy thus far. I use my Air caseless outside of using a leather sleeve while in the pocket. It still looks new.
 
Space black, the spiritual successor to the 7 Plus.😍

No scratches, despite being used caseless for nearly 2 months. (Though I do put it in or on a microfiber pouch when not in use.)

Sky blue, caseless since launch. Microscratches on one of the rails (ring’s fault). Otherwise looks new.

6 weeks with my Space Black Air completely naked.

I’m very careful it and so far there isn’t a mark or scratch on it. Love this colour 🔥
 
Bought the white one on launch day. The first week was without case, then I received my Andar "The Aspen" leather cover - and use it for a month in the case. Then I returned to caseless again.
No scrathes, dropped once. Love the cover, and the titanium frame, looks so good.

Skipped the cover because almost no chargingcables fits the hole, so had do take the cover off when chargind, driving etc.
 
I have the blue if you call it that.
No case or screen protector. Dropped it several times. No scratches or damage.
Very happy as the Air's screen is much more durable than the 14 pro I traded ... it looked like a road map.

I always buy a white phone, but something about the black Air stood out to me. Not sure what, but that's what I went with.

No case, no screen protector. I had AC One already, so I just threw it on here. So far, no scratches or dings even after a few embarrassing drops onto tile.
 
White for me, figured the gold looks too much like my white 12PM in a clear case after it (the case) got nicotine/tar stained. Semi careless, using GRECAZO Magnetic Slim Case for corner and camera protection. Phone is pristine, the case a bit less so after phone falling out of pocket onto concrete

I was just thinking about a sleeve for when it's in my pocket, which one do you have and how is the fit?

"Blue" for me as it is my favorite color. 8 weeks in and the only blemish is a tiny scuff on the top right corner rail that you wouldn't know was there unless I told you to look for it. That happened when it fell in my concrete driveway from the thigh pocket I forgot to zip on a pair of joggers, ~3 feet.

Very glad I went with this one and in the rare instances I put the Pitaka aramid fiber case on, I get the "WOW this thing looks and feels amazing naked!" vibe each time I take it off.
 
I got light gold and pretty happy with it overall. I do wish the light blue and light gold had much more color though. Why couldn't they make them an actual light blue and gold in the first place?

I'm generally not into black phones but I have to say the black came in a close second when I was getting my phone, for whatever reason I think the Air really looks good in black compared to most other phones.
