Implemented as shown in the OP, this color change would involve only a $35 screen replacement. Getting it dirty would not be an issue at all, as the white bezel would be entirely protected by the top glass layer. The same could not be said of a white back cover.
Alternate color choices for a replacement screen would definitely be a cool option---especially if you had to replace the screen anyway. I definitely would have chosen a different color if I had had the choice. Reminds me of all those trackball colors available for the old Curves.
omg Please don't even get me started. I *NEEEEED* a white PlayBook to match my white Galaxy Note. You don't understand how many times a day I go on Google and just look up 'white PlayBook' UGH it pisses me off that I don't have one in my hands. And if they do release one it would probably just be white on the back and not the bezel to match the White Dev Alpha. I would seriously pay $700 dollars for one idc idc idc

On page 2 is a link with special 'foil' that you can stick on top of your touchscreen (it only sits over the bezels). Its available in very nice 'prints' and colors ! Good alternative for you
Apple would probably try to sue RIM for coming out with a white Playbook.
Apple products are over rated. The only reason people think iPhone is holy is because they aren't tech saavy and dont know the meaning of quad core, NFC, Multitasking, bezel, good sound quality, lte, and FREE APPS. People automatically think I have a flip phone if I say I dont have an iPhone UGH
^ Can't agree with you about sound quality, iTunes is like 256 bit rate (good) but the built in speakers sounds like trying to start a 1950 tractor during winter, under water, with a stick of dynamite. Lol
The black is the reason why I did not buy tickets to win one of the the 'first ed.' units for some charity event . . . . before I realized "..any colour, as long as it is black" was the offering !
I like it in black. It looks business-like. Professional. I wouldn't fancy it too much in white.
Gun metal or brushed metal though? - That would be AWESOME.
carbon fibre? - God tier.
The white looks good, I would consider purchasing a two tone but would be too scared to dirty the white. My girlfriend had a white 9780 and the leather backing was filthy when we purchased her a 9900.

I'll definitely but a Plastic/Rubber case for the playbook is they had one made out of Carbon Fiber !
