Also the color black will absorb and retain more heat than white. (point a laser pen at anything black and the dot gets sucked into the color and gets small, point it at anything white and its displaced and is big)
Im getting black though because i"ll probably upgrade again next year.

But what about when the white case turns the ugly shade of yellow/brown/off-white due to normal use or due to being exposed to sunlight?
