    I agree with wobble. I don't have any issues with my white macbook but the black one still looks cleaner and would probably last longer. I used to have an LG S1, the white keyboard started to look dirty less than a year of usage.

    It's shown as still available on the Graphic Splash Expression Collection. I have this style in Victorian black lace. It's a very subtle design on the lid, and it won't offend anybody. White...it's more a off white or very light beige. In low light, the keyboard is very easy to see and use.
