So, which are you going for?

Personally, while I love how the Silver looks a lot like the first-gen iPad, I can't pass up how sleek the Space Grey is, and how nicely it'll match my MBP and iPhone XS.
 
Is the space gray the darker space gray or the lighter space gray of recent iPads?
 
May not matter if Apple doesn’t offer a Smart Cover only, which is possible since some have said the magnet position has changed to accommodate the new pencil. Can only wait and see, I guess.
 
As someone who just bought.... was forced to buy a black iPad for the first time since ever (iPad 2)... I'm pretty unhappy.

This is the first launch since iPad OG that there wasn't a white front option. I had gold on my last iPad and loved it.

But I care less about the back because its gunna end up in a case for its life. I'm left looking at a weird black iPad.
 
this... is something I’ve never heard before.

There is a reason they don’t make TVs it White bezels.

It looks ugly. I know it’s a matter of opinion but the bezels kind of fade away when they are black. When they are white it’s impossible not to see them.

Never in my life have I heard someone refer the black front iPad as weird looking. In fact, it’s the exact opposite.
