I'm thinking about buying the Samsung Galaxy S4.
I've watched multiple reviews and come to the conclusion that's it's -
a very nice phone with nice specs etc.
I'm also aware of some cons, for example:
Flimsy Build
Bloatware
etc.
I'm not sure what colour to buy, black or white?
What I need you guys to do:
If you own or have previously owned the S4, I need you -
to post below the pros and cons that you have found.
Along with any accessories you've bought (Find useful)
So post what you think is good, and what is bad.
PLEASE DON'T POST IF YOU HAVEN'T OWNED AN S4.
(If you've used an S4 for a bit, I'll let you post)
Reason being is that I don't want to spend 200GBP on a phone that -
is just really bad.
Would really appreciate it!
Thanks!

If you do end up getting one, buy a white one with a gold back case.

Not really, it's just preference.
I was heading towards the black anyway.
I don't plan on buying a gold case -_-
I like sleek, simple designs.
EDIT: Please read the Red text, thanks.
I need some direct feedback from people with experience from the S4.

My brother owns the S4 so il throw my input out
Although I don't use it on a day to day basis, I can tell you that the build is good. It doesn't flex and remains surprisingly light.
It can take multiple drops to soft carpet, my brother is clumsy, without damaging the outer sides or the screen.
The speakers are pretty good too. Very clear and loud, so much so that i can hear what he is watching in the next room. The video play back is also good. He watches tv series like misfits on the phone and the quality is like seeing it on TV.
As I said before, I dont own one but i have sort of used one and I see it being used every day ;)
Hope it helps when you purchase your new phone

I would get it. It's a cracking phone! I would get white as it looks like it has more life to it.

I have one and you dont need an expensive case...i have a $30 speck case and a $40 zagg protective tempered glass screen protector (comes with lifetime waranty *unlimited replacements*)...also if you do get one think about rooting and removing the bloatware but other than that you can just hide it as the phone has plenty of storage space and an sd card slot for extra. Last, the phone is really good for movies and videos and has a great battery life.
Edit: Simple: Also about the cons... It has a great build and bloatware can be hidden taken off.

I currently have one, my previous phone being iOS. I absolutely love it. I'm one of the few who really likes touchwiz, if you don't that's replaceable. I personally have the black model.
As for pros on it, I like the hardware, it honestly doesn't feel flimsy even though it is mainly plastic. The camera is stunning. The screen size takes a day or two to get used to, but I can't even watch a YouTube video on someone's iPhone anymore. It seems big at first, but reading/watching on it is so much better. Android.
As for cons, I genuinely cannot think of any. I've had the phone for about 8-9 months now and I've never had an issue with it.
I have two cases on mine, I'll link them below.

I recommend the Spigen Slim armor if you're rough on things. If a little plastic, scratch protection one like the first case is enough. That site has awesome designs.
