I would get the white if it was white everywhere but only the back being white...to me that looks a little funny.

As said before: I personally do like the glossy black frame around the screen that hides as much as possible home button, phone speaker and two optical sensors. It's outside frame matches perfectly the well-done rounding of the chassis and makes the only 90-degrees-edges on the complete device (screen edges) almost invisible - esp. when the screen is off or has a black background like the original homescreen design.

But for all white-skin-lovers - and there seem to be quite a few around - here a little hint. I didn't test it and I am not affiliated with the vendor. Maybe there are existing other similar products.
 
At first I thought the black face, and white back looked funny online, but when I held that pearly white iPhone in my hand it was sold. Now, I feel the black complements the white in creating lots of contrast. With a white face the screen colors would look funny, the sensor could not be disguised as well and it simply would look horrid. Since July with this iPhone, I have grown to love it more and more - the white is truly perfection. (Although there is the aluminum ;))

Here's what it would look like...

i dont get why ppl carry iPhone naked but with screen protector
shouldnt it be the other way around
the scratch resistant screen holds up 100 times better than the weak back frame...

I think it's just because they don't sell any kind of film for the back in the Apple store. Most normal people don't know that there are other places to get iPhone accessories besides the Apple store.
 
Another design study of a complete clean white iP3G front with custom made Lock Screen. I am not sure if I like it. Maybe if it looked exactly like this. Some kind of lucent (when there is a white background behind the device). Trying to covert the right-angled screen edges but I am afraid in practice the white of the illuminated (must always be switched on to look like this) LCD screen will never be the same like the circumjacent material. So it's just theoretical.

For the time being the design of the white iPhone is perfect.
