I'm a man and I chose coral over red. What does that make me?

I discounted the coral just because it didn't look like my style but seeing iJustine's video with it on made me second guess.
It looks sublime.

I haven’t ordered yet. All colors are still available for release day pickup at the local Best Buy so I’ll decide in the morning. I wish the blue was more teal. Coral is a favorite color of mine but it’s hard to tell if I like the shade without seeing it in person. I’m leaning toward white just because so many transparent cases would look good with it. The left one would allow me to have both a teal and coral phone :D

I agree. I think purple would sell a lot better than coral. I’ve also always wished they’d make a purple leather case.
I would have bought a purple phone or leather case. I ended up buying the Max in gold and have ordered a purple leather case from Story Leather.

I’m absolutely torn.

Black is too boring. I’d like something fresh after years of space grey. Orange (sorry, that’s what it is) and Yellow are not my thing. Red is flippin’ hot, but too flashy for me.

So it boils down to white or blue. The more I look at blue, the more I like it. Question is though: will I still like blue as much after one or two years? This looks like a color you could grow tired of.

White, on the contrary, is very sleek and might look ‘fresh’ for a longer time.

I don’t know. Torn. So torn.

Orange (sorry, that’s what it is)

Noooo - it's definitely not orange.
If anything I think it leans more pink!

If there was a bright orange, I'd be torn between that and yellow. As it stands I've gone yellow.
But if I don't like it, it'll be exchanged for blue. :)

I am still torn. My gut is to stick with black. But if I like the blue tomorrow in person I will go with it. Hoping it's a little darker than the videos make it look. Kinda like the color of the Jeep I almost bought last year. It's called chief blue and was very deceiving in pics. Some made it look baby blue. But in person it was more Carolina Panthers blue.

I have a question, but I'll answer the thread question first. If I were buying an Xr, I would go with White or Blue, if I weren't going to use a case. Maybe even the Coral, but I'd have to see it in person to make that leap.

But that leads to my question. I am sitting here looking at my Black 8 Plus. It looks great when its not in it's case, which is never. I use a thin clear case since I feel the phone needs some protection. I keep the phone in my pants pocket. But even the thin "clear" case hides the great finish of the phone. My shiny black phone, looks dull grey in the case.

Question: For those that use a case (most of us), does the phone color really matter?

BTW, I did use to use a rear skin instead of a case, and the phone looked great. The color did matter. But then the phone was knocked off a table to the hard floor and that ended the glass and my use of just a clear skin. lol

So let's see some pics and hear what this blue actually looks like. I wanted to see it but VZW didn't have one on display. I wasn't chancing it so went with white. My gf wanted yellow but didn't want to wait a month. She went with Product red.

I just got home from the Apple Store to pick up my phone. The blue is definitely lighter than I was expecting. It's not the bright blue I've been seeing in some of the videos. So, find the video where it's the lightest blue and that's what it looks like.

I LOVE the coral. It's the bright orange-y coral I wanted.
