This is a better one of the ceramic white, looks really nice. Damn it's a tough choice between these 2!

I couldn't agree more on the difficulty of choosing a color. I went black but continue to question my decision....

Are there any comparison photos of glass vs ceramic in the same color? I can't tell anything from vids. Just my problem. I need pics.

Part of me says get the ceramic, then I keep telling myself glass is fine. I'm trying to decide if it's worth extra $250+. The memory is nice.

I'd love to read results of drop tests with each material.

From what I've seen, the ceramic is not as strong, the only downfall. Other wise it's suppose to be better in other ways. Ceramic is suppose to be more scratch resistant, easier to keep clean, less interference for data and cellular signal, but only drawback... More fragile. Ceramic is suppose to be heavier also, which I would like.

Any idea what the sides of the black ceramic look like if the sides on the white are rose gold

I found this article helpful in deciding ceramic versus glass. They also say there ceramic is stronger in the phones.

I a think I read like a gun metal color. Not sure though

I thought of this too but since I plan on getting the N10, I'll just save the $250.

That's a good way to look at it also. I did the Ebates 6% deal, so I'll get around $43 back. I might get the N10 also, but I figure I might as well try the ceramic and see how I like it. I'm sure the N10 will have ceramic also and it will be probably in the $1500 range going off last year's pricing and the s10 pricing. This way I'll know if it's really worth the extra at a lower price point.

Good point. No one seems to know much about the ceramic back. The black looks Sooooo good though. Also, Ebates is up to 6% Wow. I was reading how someone did Ebates at 3%. 6 is even better.

That's what pushed me over the edge to go ceramic. I cancelled my glass version this morning and already got the Samsung cancel confirmation email. I had to give up the earbuds for the gift certificate, but I think that's better anyway, and my ship date stayed the same.

Personally I like a little bit weigh to my phone. I love the weight of the note 9 so getting the ceramic was good because it weighs basically the same. The regular glass was just too light for me lol

I agree the videos and pictures available online do not really help make an informed decision, it is hard, I am leaning towards cancelling the white and going with black but not 100% and it is a leap of faith.

I guess I know I won't be unhappy with the black, it is always a reliable choice.

That would be horrible on summer days when I carry my phone in my jeans/shorts pocket! It'll feel like I'm carrying a brick, lol......no thanks! The lighter, the better for me.

It's not like 5 pounds. They say it will weigh around the note 9

I thought about canceling prism white for ceramic black but I cant justify an extra $250. I don't even fill up 128gb so 512 will be a waste for me.
