White/Black versions' covers

I'm sure some of you know by now that the white N3's back is hard plastic while the black one has a soft rubbery back. Is anyone else annoyed by this because I had my mind set on getting the white version since I've always owned black phones but now I'm not so sure.

I'm not sure I would call the black back "soft and rubbery" It has a small amount of "give" when pressed down on when compared to the white back but it is still fairly hard, I did feel both before purchasing and went with the black one as it felt better to me.

I haven't felt a black Note 3, but I LOVE the feel of the white one. It's plastic, but the texture feels nice (Better than a smooth plastic back). I'll be seating it inside of a Spigen Bounce case, though, so it would be a non-issue either way.

I actually returned my white one for a black one. I had one of each in my order from AT&T, and after handling both I knew I had to swap the white one out. Luckily they didn't give me a hassle or charge me a fee.

Also does anyone know if Samsung has given any indication as to when the accessories will be out? How long did it take for the s4? Hopefully the replacement backs will feel similar to the black one. Thanks.

The white S view cover looks great on the black phone plus you get that great screen look in menus etc of edge to edge on the black phone. I also think that the titanium grey Note 2 gave a similar effect, but nowhere near as good as the note 3, especially with a black wallpaper. I will post a screen shot of mine below

I like the touch of my white back, it's softer than the note 2 plastic, it's strange as it's still plastic but with texture .
Had no choice with colour as black phones to me just feel less premium.. No idea why, just one of them strange things

Hey there - can I ask where you got your pouch from for your N3?
Thanks

I also sold my white note 3 and got a black one.. definitely the feel is better with the black.

I think I will get the white one and eventually get a leathery feeling replacement back, or the s view cover

I much prefer the feel of the black back cover over the white one.
Luckily for me I find white phones hideous.

Tempered glass or reg screen protector

Peoples input please

I've heard all the tempered screen protectors currently available for curved screens are crap. I'd rather have that when a good one comes out.

From what I've read most curved glass screens require additional duct tape to hold it in place...and because they don't have any glue in the middle, it doesn't really contact the screen itself, ruining touch sensitivity.

I had a tempered glass on my s6+ it glued just fine but is it worth using

Have you guys experience touch sensitivity issues with wet screen protectors?

I think we have a misunderstanding between two Puerto Ricans. I meant the screen protectors that are applied using the wet method. I did not say my fingers are wet.

I put a Skinomi screen protector on mine yesterday. It goes on wet. Before this I've only used tempered glass but there isn't any good option for the Note 7 yet. I'm surprised to say that I'm happy with the Skinomi. It hasn't effected touch sensitivity or the pen, and feels good.

Are you using a case with it?

I've got a clear Ringke case that was 99 cents as a preorder. It just barely touches the corners of the screen protector. Doesn't seem to be pushing it up after a few days.

Had the Skinomi on for one day. Applied perfectly with no bubbles or lint or anything in a steam filled bathroom and then let sit for a day. Shortly after putting the case on, started bunching up on 2 corners and this was the case friendly film I might add. Next day I broke down and went to ATT store and put the curved plastic protector they had there. Better than nothing and plays well with my case.

Problem with that is not every case is the same. Sounds like your case goes farther up on the screen than mine. Which case had issues with the Skinomi?

Plastic Power Button

I like the look of the panda phone, but kind of iffy since the colored power buttons are plastic instead of metal like they are on the black phone. Any thoughts on the use of materials? Think the plastic vs. metal makes much of a difference?

Glad I got the black

Are they definitely plastic?

Google,
You don't make a aluminum phone and cover it in plastic. If you want to color it, you anodize it. If you're going to use plastic, make the whole thing out of plastic and include wireless charging. Also, lower the damn price. Nobody wants a plastic phone for $850.
