What color did you choose and why?

Which do folks think will hide scuffs and scratches better? Seems aluminum might be best for that. But I've not owned metal phones before. Thoughts?

I have had white note 4 before and that's worked wonders hiding scratches on the back and sides. Loved how classy it also looked. I got frost white 6P

I remember the dark gunmetal htc one showing scratches like a champ. That's one of the reasons I said no to that. I'm thinking with metal, the aluminum would be best at hiding it but maybe white too.

I chose Frost because I have been envious and missed out on the white Galaxy Nexus and HTC One X. I always wanted a phone in white but when white Nexus 5 came I did quite like the "Storm Trooper" look. I think 6P in white looks great. Unfortunately I really want the 6P Special Edition that's gold in Japan. I am not will to hope or wait for it to come to the US.

yeah I would've grabbed that gold version too ... not a fan of gold phones in general, but that one is striking. oh well

Yep never saw gold on phones look good but the 6p has me in love.

i'm tempted to do the same. Was afraid at first that it would mean getting my phone much later but hard to tell what is going on with shipping.

Originally ordered black b/c of the bar too but the contrast is looking pretty good now.

I felt a bit the same way, but I'm sticking with my graphite choice. The aluminium does look nice with the chrome beveled edges and the contrasting black bar, but I still find the black bar a bit unsightly. I'm sticking with the graphite look. Clean, solid; can't go wrong with black.

yeah i guess it's a gamble either way really since we're ordering without seeing them

I saw in videos the black picking up fingerprints like crazy. My all metal HTC one M8 doesn't show any fingerprints, but any slight scratch shows up like BAM on the metal back because of the way the light hits it. I'm thinking white will hide regular fingerprints (though not dirty ones like covered in cheeto dust), and probably small scratches because it's not highly reflective.

'Cheeto dust" LOL

Leaning toward the white one.

Black definitly

Preordered 64GB graphite, then canceled and ordered 64GB aluminum!

Frost, it looks the best to me, the backs is great and the edges stand out.

I ordered aluminum. I would have never considered graphite because of fingerprints but if I could have gotten the frost in 32GB I would have considered it. I just didn't think it was so much better than the aluminum to justify spending $50 more for storage I don't need.

Same. I wondered if Frost was supposed to be seen as the standout one, but they used the Aluminium for all the promotional stuff.

 

[dswatson83]

Still undecided. Planned on getting graphite but the edges didn't seem to reflect and shine as much as the aluminium and white (which I liked) so I'm leaning towards aluminum now. I'll admit that the white seems to look nice in the shots but typically I own dark phones so the aluminum is a good middle ground.

Ordered the 32gb Aluminium. Have the dark blue N6 right now and want to go with something metal for my first all metal phone. Desperately waiting. Now I just need to decide which case I'm going to get.

I'll go for Graphite 64GB
Then the back black bar gets less attention

 

[gurisingh]

I ordered frost white. Looks stunning, sexy and matches my car color

 

[Likorisa]

White, i always go for the white devices. Looks cleaner and sexy lol

 

[wunderbar]

Aluminum for me. I'm sick of Black devices, and my N5 is/was white, so Aluminum is a bit different.

 

[jdot104]

I ordered aluminum. I was torn between it and frost, but I had to make an instant decision when the page went live, so I just went for it. I like the graphite one too, but I love the contrast between the back of the phone and the black sensor bar. The shiny edges on the aluminum one look fantastic.
