Just received my phones which includes a Cosmic Orange device. I’m liking the color in person. I’m just questioning the durability of the anodized finish over the long period even though it’ll be inside a rubber case.

My brother got one and tbh I wasn’t a fan. Maybe it will grow on me but it seemed very garish upon first impressions.
 
Waiting to get mine, but like the color from what I have seen in pictures. I don't think you have to worry about it holding up in a case. I won't use a case, so that could get interesting, but we will see how it holds up.

Yeah, I'm really OCD with keeping my phones in perfect condition. I'm hoping I can keep my orange phone in "pretty" condition as long as possible. I will use a case from the start.
 
Not sure if I count, since I went with silver, but upon seeing the orange in person this morning, I almost tried to switch to it from silver. It is much better looking than any photos. Only thing that stopped me, was the durability questions over the painted aluminum.
 
I bought several cases from Amazon to try out. Some of the cases are brighter orange than others. I like this case because it has a soft velvet type of lining on the inside edges. But it covers the entire phone including the back and the case color is on the darker side.

I got orange by accident. What I mean by this is that it was beside dark blue the only device available for delivery today. So I choosed orange. I thought I’ll hate the Color because it’s definitely not on my list of fav colors. But I have to say in reality it don’t looks that bad. Maybe it will grow on me. Well beside the fact that I have it in a case most of the time anyways. lol

Waiting on my Pumpkin Spice Pro Max to be delivered today. It’ll match my living room!

I’m still a fan after seeing all of today’s photos. It was an instant buy for me and I don’t anticipate regretting it or getting tired of it :)

Haha I’m excited for my orange. I even changed my Tesla ambient lighting to orange lol. Can see it on my door when I took a pic of a sick Range Rover sport 😂

Liking in the darker color of that case. Do you mind sharing the link to the exact one? Thank you. And congratulations!
 
Not crazy about Cosmic Orange…but it’s such a personal taste thing. My wife didn’t care for it either so we both got 17PMs in blue. In this situation, YCMV.

Going by some of the order threads here, it seems to be the most popular color, despite having the most polarizing reaction.

Is orange the color to get? I'm not sure, but I'm going to see it in person today and judge for myself.

Not for me Jeff.

Sorry, not into bright orange tbh, not seen it in person but watched many reviews and it wouldn’t be my choice personally. Reminds me of the Walkman Sony Ericsson I had in about 2011, black front and bright orange back. Didn’t keep that one very long.

I love it. But it’s largely irrelevant, went straight into the sienna tech woven case. Got a Caudabe Paragon on order. When I retire it in 4 or 5 years I’m sure it will be as immaculate as the sierra blue 13pm it replaced.

Pro Max a no brainer purchase vs other models for me personally. Good for those who love the Air, but to me it’s a step backward for mostly aesthetic rewards. A week after owning any phone the novelty has worn off, and it becomes a tool for me. And in that regard the Pro Max is simply a better tool.

Love it!

Gone all black & orange with the phone and watch this year.
The terra cotta Alpine Loop matches so well with it all.
