Nexus 5X Ice owners

Calling all Ice owners.....

How are you all liking your decision? I had originally went with the black but then after Google messed up my order I ordered the Ice. I really love the color so far and have no regrets.

The only thing that has me a bit concerned is how it will look over time. It looks like the back may have the ability to get dirty over time. I am going completely naked since I don't want to cover up the Ice. I hope any dirt/grime comes off with a light scrubbing of a damp cloth but I'm not 100% convinced.

I think the Ice looks great...I ordered the black but would have been happy with either one.

Have you considered running just a skin (like a nice white carbon fiber from DBrand)? I always run a skin on my Nexus devices. All the beauty of the factory design with a little protection from dirt and light scuffs. Works great.

I like it. Its different from the same old colors. Nothing to complain about here.

It's not black or white, I'm happy..

I like it. I've had black, white and bamboo. Powder blue is a nice change.

I like it! I originally ordered the Carbon colour but for some reason didn't go through with CPW so decided to order the Ice colour when in stock. I was at my local bar Tuesday night with two friends, one has the Nexus 6 in cloud white and the other the Moto X Play in black. I got out my 5X in Ice to which the barman asked me what is was and that they liked the baby blue colour as opposed to your usual black and white everyone has. Good choice.

I'm not an Ice owner, but I thought I'd see more activity here . . .

Us Ice owners apparently don't feel the need to brag. I have now seen all the colors in person and personally for me the black one looks too plain and the white one looks cheap. Ice at least adds some character to a phone that otherwise would just be plastic, no regrets at all.

I have the panda version and love it. Was originally thinking of getting the ice but the wife said it looked feminine. Oh well, at least this is my 1st non-black phone.

 

[Zendroid1]

That's the first time I've ever heard blue called feminine.

 

[Pre-dawn raid]

That's what I said! Got the white though and I dig it. It IS a baby blue though. Think baby boy room color blue.

She said, "Would James Bond/Daniel Craig carry a phone that color. Would Jason Statham get a baby blue 5X?"

 

[PhiPsi32]

It's a Tiffany blue. Very cultured color.

 

[Zendroid1]

I've gotten a lot of compliments on mine. Some of them from people who wouldn't be afraid to call me out. I dunno, if my wife wants James Bond, she came to the wrong place lol

 

[landale]

Yeah I think it looks great. For me my only issue with it is sides look cheap with the two tone. I wish they could have used at least a metallic frame around the sides. Would have given it a much more premium look to balance the plastic.

I'm loving mine.. I was hesitant when I first purchased but once it arrived I loved the color... Pictures online do not do it justice. The color seems to vary in different lighting.

The day it arrived I took it straight to T-Mobile to get a nano sim. The guy that helped me even commented how cool the phone looked.

Totally agree. It differs in different lighting to which at times can look like a might grey colour. Happy with my choice.

Thanks for this thread; I haven't ordered due to financial restraints at the moment, but when I was on the product page I kept flipping through the colors, unsure of the Ice. It looks better than I thought.

Yeah when I first ordered I actually ordered the Quartz model because the Ice looked terrible on the Google site. After seeing more hands on videos I decided to bite the bullet and get the Ice and have zero regrets on the decision. At least to me it adds something to a phone that otherwise would just be plastic.
