Assuming you're getting the X, which color are you going for? I've always went black but the Silver looks really good with all that glass. I am torn.

personally the silver seems best to me now that the front is black. I've had black iPhones for 6 years now and a white iPhone 5 for two years

I'm also torn on this one. The website shows what only looks to be like a white/gray color for the Silver. I haven't seen a good up close version of it yet. While it would be different, I'm kind of leaning towards the Space Grey. I'm really upset that they rid some of the colors this year being the Jet Black is what I have now for my iPhone 7+. Barely even a year old and they push out one of the most beautiful colors they had? This would've looked stunning on the 8, 8+, and X if you ask me.

for all good reason. The glass back which basically makes the black/grey model look like the jet color but without all the scratching from it. If you remember the iPhone 4-4s the glass black felt and looked super high end and kept the phone looking really good for years.
No reason to keep and aluminum coated color when you could just cover stainless steel in glass and call it a day.

I can see that. I kind of get it now. I had the 4 and the 4S and I think I remember it scratching pretty badly. Makes sense. Guess I'll have to go with Space Grey then. Sounds like a sure winner to me.

I don't remember it being bad and I was careless for two years with it. Nothing like what I've seen careless with the jet black color.
Also, this glass supposedly is a lot harder/better than the glass used from back in 2010
