White one has teflon treatment on back cover, so choice was obvious for me :)

i have heard of reports that happening.. saw the pics of it turning yellow and even some cases where the roller trackball is yelow to almost black but the casing remains white.. very concerning if i get white and that happens.. this is one of the reasons i might be getting brown instead.. i am planning to shield it with raceshield/invisible shield.. any one with a shielded white or brown heros? i want to see pics of it after it is shielded.. wonder if the white one will turn yellow even after shielded..

well i was interested in the white in that teflon thingy.. what does it do really? prevent scratches? im planning to shield the hero anyway.. i like the gloss look than matte..

[Guest cosy6ay]

i am using zagg shield.

the hero still turning yellowish.

[Guest Cutefox]

wow that is dodgy.. any reasons u can think of why urs turn yellow? maybe too much sun? sunburnt.. lol.. might get the brown one then in this case.. not pleasant even 6 months down the track and it turns yellow.. any other users with this problem?

I have the graphite version from Orange UK - love it :)

[Guest heiiko]

A few days after getting my white hero (the only available color in my country), it was already turning blue from the dye of my jeans. I've tried all sorts of tricks, but never got that clean white look back. Even ended up being embarrassed to show my phone to other people because it really looked like crap. So I decided to order a new (black!) housing from truesupplier. Haven't regretted that choice for a second!

Ditto, I'm always surprised there's not more love for the Graphite Hero, definitely the best looking IMO.

[Guest tristan_2468]

Mine's the Orange graphite version - only colour I could get on Orange, although I really like the brown one.

hero graphite/full black is not available worldwide.. i too would love to get the full black but i dont think i can get one in singapore.. i think atm im attracted more to the brown version more now since these white hero might get "coloured".. i would miss the teflon thingy thou.. i would get mine shielded so possibly same texture after shield? any of you has a photo of the black/brown with shield on?

[Guest T39andcounting]

I've got the Orange Graphite Hero, although I thought it had a slightly brownish tinge, so thought it might be what the marketing people call the brown one!!

White products always look nasty after a couple of months of use. They just show up the dirt more, period. A lot of the white Apple laptops look pretty grim after a while as well!

[Guest admirm]

mine is white...bought it because teflon addon :)

[Guest PhonePersona]

Mine's All Black!

Classy...And also slimming.

LOL!

[Guest JuW]

I use to have white, but I changed to Brown. White one gets easier dirty and looses the white clean color fast, unless you thread it like a flower. :) This brown actually looks almost like black, which is great. I like it.

[Guest Tirabytes]

Had my white Hero since August and it never changed colour, still white, like the same day I bought it. This is coming from a guy who doesn't care where I put my gadgets.

Yup my white hero looks awful grubby and I know I;ve been really careful with it so suspect its chemical. Was it easy enough to change the casing?

This guide shows you how to perform the first steps.

Removing the glassplate from the old housing is the most tricky part (not shown by the disassembly guide)! The glass is glued to the frame, so you will need to use some force to push it out. However, I just read you can ease it up by using a hairdryer to heat up the glue...

I've got the graphite one which is exclusive to Orange, even though I had to unlock it as I'm an O2 customer :)

I dont personally like the white or black ones

i have a white Hero - within first week i noticed pen ink transferred from my hand to back of my hero - used an alcohol wipe to clean it off

then i purchased invisibleshield from zagg - this is really good - haven't noticed any bad consequences from having it on the touch screen

however the invisibleshield is now looking a bit tatty - esp from blue jeans transfer to back of hero

i would recommend a darker colour - but since this was just a dip into the android world I don't really mind cause next year I want to get a new phone with Snapdragon CPU
