I want to know if is only me or there's others out there. I've tried a whole lot of wallpapers for my iPhone background. I've liked a couple but I always end up coming back to the original one o_O I think looks great and makes icons stand out a lot. Am I the only boring one here who likes this simple wallpaper ?

I like the original raindrops, but found a similar one that's a little less bland which I prefer to use...

It is a nice wallpaper but i like to keep mine moving. Variety is the spice of life. Right? That is the great thing about these phones today. You can have it however you like. ( Mostly. )
 
I do mix and match my wallpapers, but I do like that one a lot. I usually keep both wallpapers the same on the lock/home screen (a cleaner transition from slide to unlock - OCD, I know :p ) and it doesn't look that good on the lock screen. If it did I'd probably use it.
 
Same thing happens to me. I change back to the default one after I get bored of the current one I have.
 
I try to change them, but always go back to the stock ones that came with the phone, however I do have special ones for the Holiday's or various dates, like Halloween, Christmas, 4th of July, Easter, etc

I just like simple especially since I gave up my JB from my 3GS to iP4
 
Even though my avatar shows the default wallpaper, I never use it and only used it a couple days back in the day. I personally think it is boring especially in lockscreen mode. My iPhones or iPod touch tend to have a wallpaper of a sunset. I like the red/orange look. Once I get the wallpaper I like, I rarely ever change it. I still use the same sunset wallpaper from last June. Since I have the "warmer" (yellowish) screen, it actually compliments my wallpaper and looks better when it slightly dims.

Maybe for my next phone with a different OS, I will go with a different color scheme. I associate my iOS devices with red because it is my fav color next to black and apples are usually red when I eat them. Passion and desire. If I go Android, I like the Honeycomb color scheme. Just depends on my mood and what I think looks best with the phone. I had a silver/platinum phone prior to iPhone, and didn't always go with the sunset. Sometimes I put my current GF or some hot celebrity chick on there.
 
Nice to know I am not alone. :)

Don't know what it is about those water droplets but I keep going back to them.

I do have my lock screen different though.
 
That ugly thing was the first to go when I got my new phone. Mine is a very simple background. Purple fading to black. No clutter at all. Just nice, simple and classy looking.
 
Guilty as charged. I'm not sure why, but I always go back to the default wallpaper.

I never find myself going back to the original wallpaper but I do find myself changing my wallpaper every few days. (Or hours for that matter) I can't seem to find one I really like. I actually found a new one yesterday that I actually really enjoy. I'll probably leave this one on for a few weeks.

Same here. Simple and classy.

My current wallpaper is the first picture I ever saved on my phone. I find the default one very boring. It looked decent that first week but found my current to look more appealing. I even tried going back to the default a few days ago and couldn't anymore.

I have the iWallpaper app and rarely use it. If I do find something I like, I just save it onto my camera roll because I like the pic but still won't use it as a wallpaper.

Most of my wallpapers are landscape shots. Maybe abstract if I find it really attractive. But a picture of a sunset is so calming for me. Probably from those times when I would watch the sun go down in Venice and Santa Monica Beach. I rarely put wallpapers of people since the icons obscures their faces, but do save them if I find the girl attractive. Mine is vanilla form, so nomore JB blank icons and Poof! to hide icons and put most on that 2nd page.
 
For months I had the default rainbow colored wallpaper that comes with the Evo as my wallpaper. I loved the way the colors just made the icons pop on the screen. But a couple of days ago I decided to use the original wallpaper again, and I think I'll be keeping it for a while. I've set a few other wallpapers, but within a few minutes I just go back.
 
Good to know I'm not the only one. But like someone said up there, I also keep a different one for my lockscreen. I usually like dark ones because with auto brightness on the lockscreen is always pretty bright. This is my current one.

I thought I was the only one. I'm constantly on the search for a wallpaper thats pleasing to my eye but somehow I keep coming back to the default.
