white shows dirt easier
black looks sleek
I like black

My nano is black, my iriver is black, my dslr is black, my new Ibanez guitar is black, my truck is black, I wear black levis.... Hmmm, too bad Johnny Cash already claimed the "Man In Black" title

Black, because black is my favorite color. I also got tired of staring at a white iPod all the time.

black i guess, but I really wish apple made ipod in all aluminium finish, matching my macbook pro... that would be killer, like silver nano, all alu

I have a white ipod, wanted a black but they didn't have any refurbs in that color. I voted black.

White looks better

Black as its my favourite colour. Nothing nicer than smart, casual black jeans and smart shoes

White is only for "classic" trainers and t-shirts

I'd love to do that for my 4G iPod Photo but fear crippling Vinnie's iMod inadvertently. (By that, I mean swapping the face plate for a new one, not changing the color, since mine only ever came in white.)

Actually, I take back my previous comment. The solution for 4G Photo iMod owners is to buy the U2 iPod Photo faceplate and click wheel, making one the owner of a like-new black and red iMod.

As for the effect of installing the faceplate post-iMod, I'm emailing Vinnie now as to whether it could cause any damage.

(I wanted to send my 60GB Photo to Colorware, but they no longer paint models earlier than the 5G.)

=================================

For people who own/want a 5.5G in other colors:

The other option is to buy a refurb Colorware'd iPod from Target/Amazon. The only worthy choices I found were Ferrari/Black and Mystique/Lilac, but both were as cheap as regular refurbs after coupons.

I like white, but can see the advantages of black.

 

[steviebee]

I like the invisible ones....

Ipod in Black just looks better.

Swift update: Vinnie reports that changing plates post-iMod is not recommended, as it would involve "desoldering a few connections." Better the user operate (if at all) before the iMod's performed.
