Same. The worst thing about my white iPhone is that there's a black border around the screen. That black border and the white bezel disappear when you're focused on the screen though.
Got a tip for us?

i prefer the black colored iPad and iPhone. i feel like they match my iMac and MBA better so i stick with that. i guess i like consistency like that more than i realized before.
This. I had a white iPad 2. You would have a white webpage or photo surrounded by a tiny black border surrounded by the white bezel. That was annoying to have the whiteness broken up.
The biggest benefit by far was no that there were no visible finger prints on the bezel and those on the screen disappeared when it was switched on. Finger prints annoy the hell out of me.
Im going for the black this time, just for the variety. I think white is very under rated.
I got the white iPad this year. I'm not really worried about it being "girly". In my opinion it's possible to pull most colors and styles off as long as you are confident about it. I really don't think the white is girly though. I'm pretty excited because I found a orange smart cover at Target today for my iPad when it arrives.
I never thought I'd buy white...
For years black has been my default color for nearly everything from shoes to suits and especially for Apple products.
The Apple website has made the white ones look so good I decided to break convention and try the white. I've been pleasantly surprised.
My main reason for upgrading was for the retina screen to be able to use the iPad more for reading text.
Although I still really like the sleekness of the black one, for me, the white bezel functions better for reading...it just seems to disappear and makes the screen seem to open up more....more immersive for reading and less eye strain from less contrast.
After a weekend with the white bezel, the black one makes the screen seem smaller for a lot of tasks. To me the white bezel brightens and lightens everything up whereas the black one seems to be like gravity and suck me in.
I thought white would bother me during games and video but I was surprised that the contrast in those situations has been very easy on my eyes.
Overall, I'm enjoying working on a white iPad better than I liked the black one even though I firmly agree the black one looks really sharp and is awesome during a lot of games that use dark colors and also movies.
I guess in this case for me pretty is as pretty does.
It's a completely subjective and personal preference choice and in this case they are both great!! I'd say go with the one that bothers you the least for what you do most with your iPad.
