White Nexus 5 dirty already

You could always change the backplate to a black one.

Re: White Nexus dirty already

I have the white version and have the phone in my jeans at all times without a case at the moment, I'm also involved in construction so plenty of dust and dirt when I go out to inspect jobs and the phone is still as white as it was Monday

I don't know how you manage that, I keep my Gnex in an otterbox and you wouldn't believe the amount of dust that gets INSIDE the case

White moto X is the same way, picks up stains pretty easily. I had the phone in my pocket wearing blue khaki shorts and it got blue streaks on the phone. Comes right off with rubbing alcohol though.

I ended up buying a super thin case off amazon for $6 that I use occasionally and take off when I'd rather my phone be invisible in my pocket. (Very similar to the Ringke slim, which is only $10 right now for the N5)

I always get Black phones.
I don't really understand the point of the White I guess... since it still has a black front.

This is one of the things I thought all along. If I ended up not liking the white I can replace it with black.

I love the white though.

I always get black too. Decided I wanted something different. And I dont really understand the point of black keys on the piano... since the rest are white anyway. The two tone look is awesome.

I had this same problem with my Nokia 521!

Get some mild cleaner like dish soap and clean it; and then buy one of the $29-39? dollar Nexus 5 covers from Google Play. I love the Yellow myself but the Red is nice too! If you are what to make sure you don't have to worry about it - Nexus 5 "Black" color cover is the solution for you!

I originally ordered the white and I'm glad I cancelled and picked up the black 32gb off craigslist on tuesday. If you have the white, get what an earlier poster said, the ringke fusion or the spigen version. I have the spigen one and I think it's a little bit better made and it comes with a good screen protector for free while still showing off the phone.

Ralph Lauren denim company jeans they are new first time wearing but still just putting it out there that this think can get a case of the streaks

No wonder. Did you wash then before you wore them? (My mommy side is coming out... Lol.

Jeans tend to bleed a lot during the first wash.

Re: White Nexus dirty already

I saw a video that magic erasers work well with getting any stains off the white Nexus 5 and the Moto X. With regular cleanings, you should be fine with the white color.

What on earth are you people doing to your poor phones? Hehe
I've got the white N5 (which is gorgeous btw, way more stylish than black imo!) and after 2 months it still looks exactly the same color as the day I took it out of the box.
