As everyone said before: it's more of a personal choice.
I bought the White version and I have no regrets.
At first, my thoughts were: "well, I'm going to buy a white device, which will attract dirt and scratches more than any other thing I own".
Guess what, I was wrong. I take care of my devices, I actually really care about them, as if they were jewels.
I currently use a Samsung Original Book Cover (white) and it fits my tablet perfectly, protects it and sort of "cleans" the screen (each time I open and close it). Alongside, I use a screen protector. All in all, it doesn't feel like "cheap plastic" (those reviewers, a few months ago, should eat cheap plastic for saying that so many freaking times)
Even today someone told me: "Wow, is that a tablet? It's beautiful. It's so elegant".
It made me win my day. Didn't try the black yet, but would like to.
