Thinking about picking the white iphone this week. Was wondering if anyone has any problems with the proximity sensor or problems in general with it? I plan on using a screen protector if that makes a difference. Can people with the white iphone post their experiences?
Got a tip for us?

White iPhone problems?

What about waiting for the iPhone 5 in September? Unless you don't care, and need it now, i'd recommend you wait.
I had a white iphone 4 and the proximity sensor broke on it. Apple was very nice and sent me a brand new white iphone 4.
I eventually took both of them back though... Back to the ole 3G...

my white ip4 has a screen protector and i have had no issues at all with the proximity sensor.
So I'm assuming the problem with the proximity sensor is very uncommon. Perhaps the first batch? I still wonder why the Otterbox defender case don't fit the white iphone?
no issues with mine. I read here somewhere that the people worried over this were the same people who had taken the phone apart to change colors to white from black.
Ask the company who makes them. They would have a better answer than anyone here.
Lies? Kind of ignorant if you ask me. I don't own one but a lot of people have reported having prox sensor malfunctions with a screen protector on the official Apple white iPhone 4.
EDIT: I just checked Otterbox's site. They claim the the Commuter case will work with the iPhone 4 white, while the Defender does not. The commuter leaves the entire phone face open while the defender covers the earpiece and prox, with holes for both. I'm assuming that the proximity sensor has been altered in some way by Apple and does not line up with the holes?
