White Back Cover - Grubby?

[myotai]

Hi,

Really busy in work so apologies if this has been asked already!!

I am not sure whether to get the Black or White Version when I upgrade. I would like the white but am concerned that the leathery backing will get grubby and dirty....anyone advise?

Cheers,

Tony...

Had my white version since the first few days of january. Not had a single dirt related problem.
I still need to get a case.. it just feels so nice to hold! Haha

I have a white note 3. Im not using a case. It doesnt catch dirt very easily, and if it does, its very easy to wipe off. Mine still looks brand new... its been 4 months already.

I'm curious if some aftermarket company will make available the new s5 back cover for note 3. That would be great

hi, i have both covers.. black and the white one. The black cover has a much better feel to (softer and feels more leathery like,) White feels much harder and "placticy" and does pick up dirt smudges if you are not carefull. But its your choice.

note8.0 for xda

Saw a grungy-lookin' white Note 3 today but the owner was using an S-View cover.

I am a Mechanic and use my white phone at work with dirty hands. Most marks come off with an alcoholic wipe, but there are one or two small black marks on the back cover in the groove of the wrinkle leather effect thank I can't seem to wipe clean. Only very small marks but if you stare at the back a while you'll see them.

The black has a more leathery look and feel. The white can catch dirt in the fake stitching that can be a hassle to get out.

Have you tried using a cotton swap with denaturated alcohol on it? Just dip it in to soak it, hold it onto the black marks for a few seconds and brush it off. You can get the denaturated alcohol in any drugstore. (Advice to anyone) You may need to scrub it a bit.

My S has come off the back cover somehow haha. My phone was in my bag whilst cycling to work.

One trick I always use to clean dirts on my white note is using a pencil eraser. Works like a charm.

I personally prefer the white one and the black faux leather cover gets sticky after some time especially with sweat. I also got a red back cover from eBay.

Had a white one from day one and with and without the case never got dirty or grimy... not particularly careful with it either... just my .02
