I'm still going back and forth. I love my white/silver iPhone, love the look on the iPad too, but then I start thinking about how the black would be less distracting and how it also looks pretty damn good. 
it's a pretty tough choice! Size, space and connectivity was much easier to decide on!

Our eyes/brain are very good at excluding stationary objects, like frames, from our view. But irregular objects on the periphery, like grease, distract us. "Ewww, gotta clean that ugliness!"

Just to add, my silver retina mini arrived to day, and I smiled when I saw the back. It looks nice to me, especially with the engraving.
We got one white and one black
Mine is the black one because I've always had black iPads and the space grey back looks great. But the white/silver iPad is very nice too. I just don't like it very much when it's off, black screen in white frame - but that's not how you use it anyway.

Space gray Air...silver rMini, why, just cuz! That's why
Same here. I didn't like the white face on the air.
I got the Silver iPad mini retina. I haven't gotten white since I chose it for the iPhone 3G. My current iPhone 5s is space gray. My iPad 4 is black. I don't think you can go wrong either way, but I think the mini just looks better in white. Not sure why. Plus, I like it being different from the rest of my gadgets.
Looked at the black and white side by side for several minutes, watching the video built in the iPad Airs, images, webpages and just could not decide - I ended up with the white, just cause my iPhones have been black.
The final factor was the Space Gray - I don't like it. I think it'll get scratched easier. Oh well. Love it!

Just use SparkleKlean - eliminates fingerprints - unless you just ate a bag of tater chips ..
I went back and forth for a while, but finally went with a Silver iPad Air. It's a nice change from my Black/Slate iPad Mini, though the Space Gray is nice too.
Nonsense! There are a lot if white bezel tablets now! Kiddy I think not! That is a ridiculous comment.
I went with a silver retina mini cause that's what was available with 128 gigs. The silver is also what I was used to on the older iPad.
