white plastic finish vs black finish? Which color would be a better choice since white is smooth and the black is rubbery?

I have the white glossy plastic and my parents have the rubbery black. By far, the black is better. IMO, The black finish looks much more sleek and feels higher end when in the hand. Most importantly, the white plastic looks awful now after 3 months of very light use because I've used the included flip drawstring storage bag, which is black, and it left permanent black, smudged "rubbing" marks on the white plastic where the black bag made contact with the white plastic.

I have the black version. It has a nice, smooth finish unlike the purple version. It will not stick your hands.

I must have thrown out the manufacturer slip by accident. I haven't taken it out of its clear plastic, from what I can feel/tell it's a heavy duty rubber... Hopefully my answer helped you.

Rubberized appears to be a misnomer as it feels and looks like hard plastic to me. I saw the statement that it was rubberized texture too and that was one of the reasons why I bought it -- I like rubber cases. This is not that - it appears to be shiny plastic. However, it looks ok AND REALLY WORKS WELL. Dirt resistance appears good. again, its plastic if I didnt mention it before.

I have not picked up the white version, but the black finish has a subtle texture that does provide a very decent grip. I don' know about black finish over silver plating versus some other combo of materials

It's purely preference. If it's for military or tactical purposes, get black coated. If is strictly for outdoor use and recreation, get satin. Satin finish is truly stunning to behold!

The black areas are like a hardened rubber/plastic. It is not as grippy as rubber but definitely not slippery.

Plastic. It seems to be of high quality. Not all plastics become brittle and it won't scratch your finish like metal, so there's that...

Think Cheryl Perkins answer was spot on. We have the black finish on ours and cant even notice.

No-it is not 'dual finish'. The black is not shiny. I would call it more of a matte black. Feels good and not a slick plastic.

I have two, a white and a black. Both of them are one color through out except chrome finish metal part on the white one.

Its more of a cleaner and protector than a shine enhancer. White is not really shiny by nature like black paint is. It does add a nice glossy smooth look though.

The black one is plastic. The white one I would assume is the same. A plastic keyboard with an aluminum coating.

Black on black would look the best. I have a white ipad and bought a black case because I did not want to see all of the dirt on a white case and keyboard. It looks fine. You only really see the white front of the ipad when it is open. When closed it appears to be all black.

Its the finish, black is more expensive, also it may come with the canvas cover.

there are two types of plastic augers, one is white, the other is black. as I have been told by omega, both are strong but the black plastic one is more durable.

Trick Question, because the Silver, White, Gold are plastic feel, the Black, Red and Blue are rubberized feel. The rubberized ones are a very nice feel, just slightly rubberized. I personally like the rubberized feel a bit more than the plastic feel, so I would stick with the Red, Blue, or Black. The rubberized cases snap together a slightly bit tighter, partly due to the micro coating of rubber added, so that is also a plus.
