Since white iPhone 4s are no where to be found, Engadget undertook a DIY project to create their own.
With the help of iFixit's teardown guide, we decided to take the plunge with our steaming hot Chinese delivery -- a white front cover (with a shiny proximity sensor area above the earpiece), a white back cover (with "XXXXX" marked as the model number, ergo a prototype), and a Retina Display unit. Alas, there weren't any white buttons in stock at the time, but let's pretend this black-and-white combo is the new cool.

Very nice... I always like white than black..
I wish I have money to get an iPhone 4.
I have 3GS but still waiting for jailbreak for 6.4, which I hope is not impossible..
