So I feel like changing the back of my black iPhone 4 amidst all of the white iPhone excitement to a white back (the white front doesn't do much for me). How do the back white parts that have been on the market for months compare to the real white iPhone 4? Same richness and quality?

I've heard that they are very similar. The aftermarket parts are chinese knockoffs and one can expect a lower quality than an OEM white backplate but unless you compare then side by side you most likely won't see a discrepancy.

in case you missed the other post about the same thing:
 
Thanks! I've seen that thread before, but didn't see the new post with the comparison photos. I guess there are a few subtle differences.
