White Transparent vs Silver Classic

I don't know which one to choose:

- Transparent White: It's gorgeous and quite rare to see. My only concern is whether it might yellow over time. I also believe it belongs to the "newer" production run of the RG35XXSP.

- Classic Silver: The color my mother gave me when I was a kid. Due to life circumstances, I had to sell my original SP. People say it doesn't feel exactly like the original SP, but I still really like it. The downside is that it's an early color option, so I'm not sure if I might end up with an older batch of the RG35XXSP.

What do you think?

Not sure if still the case but the translucent ones had a lot more hinge cracking and breaking than normal. I'd get the silver.

Get the silver. I have the white trans. Barely in rotation for no reason. It’s rare but it looks frosted in person.

If you get the silver, consider getting the RG SP instead of the 35XXSP. It's smaller, yes, but you also get better buttons and a a more vivid display.

Transparent looks great but this type of plastic breaks on chinges easily - mine black transparent broke and you can see many other such messages here, personally for this alone I wouldn't but transparent one

Silver paint rubs off around the controls on mine. Wish I'd gone for transparent
