what's up guys Lew here and today we're going to talk about the difference between the white iPhone 5 and the black iPhone 5 besides the fact that you can see the ambient light sensor on the white one and of course the obvious color differences now right now things are blowing up on the internet about the black model in particular and the fact that it scratches or scuffs pretty easily now I don't know if this is overblown I don't want to make any statements that are untrue but there's a number of sites reporting that the black one is getting scuffed up scratched up so on and so forth and I'll show you some of the images I was able to collect from those sites right now in extreme cases individuals have even reported pulling their device right out of the box and having it scuffed straight from the factory which I find pretty hard to believe now they're made out of the same material which is anodized aluminum so in theory the same thing could happen to the white one but I think the idea is that the white one won't show it as much as the black one does because the raw material below the anodized finish is closer in color to the white model than it is to the black one so that's something to consider if you are really really concerned with durability the same thing is true for the outer band around the outside of the iPhone once again you've got a more unfinished coloring to the white model than to the black the next thing to talk about is multi media consumption some have suggested that using the black model is a more immersive video experience especially when you've got letterboxing around an image the black model just sort of absorbs the black letterbox whereas the white one highlights it which could be an annoyance to some individuals now from an aesthetic point of view of course this is a subjective thing you know some people are going to like the black one some will like the white believe it or not I like them both you know I changed my mind from day to day but I think the biggest decision-maker for people is going to be this durability issue and I think at this point we can safely say the white one will probably look better longer at least if the current situation is not rectified now I'm going to give you some case options because you might want to just put a case on this device but first you got to sit through a quick message from the sponsor you guys have got to check out unbox therapy's newest sponsor there Jackthreads and they've got the latest and greatest in menswear from brands like Nixon they've got Reebok and New Era and everything is well below retail price in fact in some cases it's as much as 80% off retail so you're gonna save some serious cash if you join up it's really really simple to do all you have to do is head over to jack threads.com slash therapy that acts as your invite and it also helps out the show for every person that checks it out even though it's free to do it's really really simple way to help the show now they've even added some iPhone 5 stuff that I think you guys are going to be really interested in they got some skins for the back of your iPhone 5 to protect it a little bit but to keep that sleek design so you guys have to head over there and check it all out once again it's jack threads.com slash therapy do to show a favor go take a peek all right guys thanks so as you guys can see here I pretty much picked up all the cases I could find locally I've got more on order as well so we're going to be taking a look at a number of different protection options in the next few days on the channel right here these are some of the ones I'm most excited about the Griffin I believe it's called reveal there's a couple of other options here including one for the youngsters on the far left but once again the reveal is probably the most exciting for me reason being is because it maintains the design aesthetic of the iPhone 5 in and of itself it just sort of you know gives you a bumper as well as a clear panel on the back so hopefully it can give you enough protection to avoid some of the scratching and some of the things people are concerned about right now actually I'll put a link to the Griffin reveal down in the description as well if you want to check out pricing and availability anyway guys that's been a quick comparison let me know in the comments how concerned with you are you about scratching and will you put a case on this device if you buy it or if you've already got one other than that thanks as always for watching if you enjoyed it make sure to leave a like and favorite it does help out a bunch and I'll catch you guys on the next video Thanks later
