White iPhone 4S owners, happy with your colour choice?

Went from a 2G > White 3G > Black 3GS > White 4. Skipping the 4S, will probably get a black 5 if it's an option.
Honestly I love both of them, and don't really have a preference. I'll just keep alternating and get the best of both worlds

I am completely torn.
I have a black iPhone 4S i just bought that will be returned tonight. I can't decide if I want the white one right now.
I've had black forever. White is really nice but as another poster said....the white on the screen would off balance the white on the phone. But it does look really good.
Help? Haha

I had a black iPhone 4, to give myself a change and so it looked different to my previous phone, I bought a white iP4S, I don't regret my choice.
My only regret with getting a white 4S is that it's difficult to find a matching case that doesn't look odd. Bumpers are OK, but they don't offer me the protection that I need.
Also, despite the fact that the iPhone 4/4S design is indeed beautiful (hats of to Mr Ive here), the white version just can't match the understated elegance of the black. It's flashy, but not "classy" if you know what I mean?
That being said, I do actually like the white version, it feels very fresh after nothing but black iPhones since 2009

Heres my take for what its worth.
I'm in the same boat as many, deciding between the two. Still owning my 2nd gen ipod (white with the blue and red buttons) I really dig the white, but that was well before there was even an option. I've also had my black iphone 3g for 3 years, (white never an option there). I do like the black, but as its about a year older for the 4 body style than the white, I could see how some view it as, "stale," or common. I still think it looks classy, and do not like the earpiece, proximity sensor and all that at the top on the white.
As far as stereotyping it goes, I've learned that there's usually a source of truth behind them. While white is not overtly feminine, I believe someone earlier explained it well. White is newer>more fashionable to many>more women care about fashion. I'm interested in this topic (psych major) so I have looked around (not scientific experiment by any means), and have noticed more women with white (I would like to see stats on who buys what).
Anyways, I'm a guy and will probably get the white because 1) It is newer/slightly less common, and 2) Looks slick esp with og rainbow apple logo on back. While the fact that this is even a topic is greatly disheartening from a world perspective, such is life...firstworldproblems

These are my exact thoughts too. Which is why I'm thinking of returning and exchanging for a black one. I can't seem to find a case that I like with white Iphone. Black is so much easier to match of course. I had the black Iphone 4 which is why I wanted something new looking when I got the 4s. But now having it for two weeks, and still not finding a case that I like and seeing a bunch of cases that I like for the black Iphone. Plus the whole giddy part of having a new phone/color is starting to wear off since having it for two weeks now. I have about 5 days or so to make it my final choice. Right now I'm about 75% sure of changing back to black

How will a white iPhone look with black skins covering the side and a black "spider web" incase case?

Pre-ordered a white iPhone 4S and have a Lucky Labs spectra wrap coming in. It's a skin covering the antenna band in a white,matte color. It will look sick!
