Interesting. The white that I played with at a local AT&T store felt very plasticy, but the black cover of the Alpha felt more leathery, and has a better grip feel. Not sure if the black Note 4 is the same.Does the white or black have a nicer feel to them? I have read where the white has a more plastic feel and the black has a more leathery feel. Which would have more grip to it? Wouldn't they be the same material?
