I just saw this on X (Twitter), if this is true, I'm going with orange

The orange looks great.

some of the picture I have see show the Violet/Purple as a lighter pastel color. then some show it as a deeper purple. I like the deeper purple myself.

Exactly. If the violet is the darker version as shown above, then I am all for it. I am not a fan of the lighter pastel violet shown in other photos.

If the exclusive colors were available via carriers in the US, then the green would be mine.

I think I'm going to go with the orange and put a black case on it.

 

[millerman]

Titanium Grey for me.

Yeah, I'd totally go for that but I haven't seen that as an official leaked image OR my luck they will offer exclusive to a carrier other than AT&T.

BTW, good to see my fellow Samsung addicts on here from the GW forum

I have the lavender from last year and I like it. My phone case is such that you can see the phone color. So I'll probably get the violet.

 

[TheMiz]

Sandstone Orange for me.

I prefer the overall look of some of the alternate colors, but I'm worried the frame that's visible when looking at the display will only add to the obviousness of the bezel (due to S24U having a flat v curved display) and I think the black color option may help blend in with the bezel.

It seems like I read somwhere the black frame will help disguise the larger bezel. I'm feeling the grey (light frame) and the blue (dark frame). The difference in bezel size is probably less of an issue with a case, though.

True but then the case always makes me ask why I bothered choosing something other than black when I just end up covering it with a case

I love the idea of clear cases but almost every one I've tried either yellows in no time or gets a ton of scratches and looks like trash.

I will say that the most impressive clear case I've owned to date is the one I'm currently rockin' on my ZF3 and it's made by Speck. It was normally priced at like $50-$60 (can't recall) which I wasn't about to pay but discounted to $17. I've been pretty happy with it, but Speck usually focuses more on iPhone for cases or at least it appears that way.

I get a couple of cases ever year, but I always end up using Ringke Fusion for the duration. They usually age a lil better than other clear I've tried and are priced around $20.

I didn't order a clear Fusion and screen protectors. Thanks for the link though

Edit: Amazon has them available now.

I always get black....a couple of times a green, or once I got red. I like the colored ones (I don't consider black a color per-se) but the issue is twofold for me. I always end up with a black case...I don't like the feel of hard plastic clear ones, and clear soft ones are sticky, gross, and turn yellow...thus I stay with black cases. So no color is seen anyway!
Then there's the problem of re-sale. Now if I'm trading it in then the color is virtually a non-issue. But, if I decide for economic reasons to sell on Swappa...now I may be limited in sales power by choosing a color that I like but that few others like, or want. So then, basic black is an easy sell all the time and it goes well with a black case.

I just saw lots of cases on Amazon and their are a lot of ones with the magsafe round ring. I know what it is and I know it used to be more for Apple but has anyone used it for Android? Will it be better since I am seeing so many. So you just buy a compatible car dock I guess? I'm not 100% sure how it works. I'll probably by the same I-Blason case I've had on my last 3 phones and it sucks I bought a different design one and then decided I wanted my normal one and just got it no to long ago shouldn't of done that.

As far as I know, the Mag-safe system will work with Android.

The only problem is supposedly the magnetic cases interfere with the stylus.

However, I rarely use a stylus with my Z Fold 3 so I figure if I need to DocuSign something or whatever other reason I would need to use the stylus I'll just quickly remove the case. I mainly want the convenience of magnetic wireless charging in my car.

The alternative is to just get a magsafe magnetic ring and stick it to pretty much any case, and it works. Most of them come with an install guide so you can stick it to the case where the wireless charging coil is.

That's a good point about resell value. I never thought about the device color limiting prospective buyers, but black would always be a safe choice.

I use Magsafe cases with my S23 Ultra, and none of them interfere with the pen. I think that was a bigger problem with older peak design cases which have incredibly powerful magnets. I do have a peak design S23 Ultra case though, and it isn't an issue.

You do run into issues with an accessory attached, but they are so easy to remove that complaining about it seems a bit ridiculous...

I'm never going back to a case without Qi2/Magsafe.

Good to hear re: cases not interfering w/stylus, and I totally agree, popping the case off is no big deal.

The S24U will be the first device I've owned with a built-in stylus, and it's merely an after thought for me. Sure, it will come in real handy for things like signing documents but I just don't find myself using them often.

After owning this ~1 lb brick of a ZF3 for the past 2 years, I'm looking forward mostly to a more usable primary display as a daily driver and a camera with modern specs.
