White or black phone with a black case?

[Flaxe]

Hey all!

I'm about to order my Xiaomi Mi4C and I can't decide what color to choose, white or black. I'm usually going with black on all my devices, but now that I'm looking at available cases and I see pictures of a white phone with a black case, I think it looks really nice.
Worth mentioning is that only the backside is white, and the front is still black. So when you're looking at the phone from the front, all you see will be black. But if you look at the phone from behind, you'll see 90% black and some nice details of white.

Below are two images that show what I mean:

Anyone mind helping me out with this? What would you do, as a guy that normally goes all black?

Hi,
Where did you find this case?
Found it the Nillkin logo was to small.

Just be aware that "black" isn't really black but more of a dark grey colour. I think it looks good and prefer my phones to be unobtrusive but that's my taste - you may differ.

As for the case, I got the official case from xiaomidevice here. It seems to be genuine and has a nice feel, softer than the polycarbonate back of the actual phone, not unlike the N5. It seems genuine and fits the phone perfectly though it does not protect the top or bottom front edges as it snaps on. This essentially means it's also a Mi 4i cover as it does not have hole specially designed to not cover the IR blaster.

Hope that helps!

In case others wonder the same thing; I found it on AliExpress.

Thanks a lot for your information! Ok, I see. Do you mind uploading a photo or two of your phone with the case on? I would greatly appreciate it. All photos I can find is with a white phone, so it would be interesting to see how it looks like with the "black/dark gray" phone and a black case.

I bought a white one because of the same picture ha, the black case fits really well with the white accents .

Also like wingsfortheirsmiles mentioned the mi4c black is more grey than black. If you're planning on using case most of the time I would go with a white phone and a black case

edit:
Here's a pic i found of the black phone with the black case

Ah cool kevinnol found a pic, I've just taken some pretty bad shots (sorry) ironically on my soon-to-be-sold Mi 4i: http://imgur.com/a/SxsVL

Haha @kevinnol, what a coincidence Yea, I will probably use a case most of the time. Thanks for your input and for finding that photo

Thanks @wingsfortheirsmiles for uploading photos of your phone! To be honest, it looks really nice and clean with the "black" phone as well. Uh... I might as well just flip a coin to decide what color to take
Considering I have a black phone right now, and most of my other stuff is black, it might be nice with a change.
