Actually I love it. I just thought it would look even nicer with a clean back since the unlocked one has no carrier logo.

and... what it really should say on the back is **Bananaphone**
[Moto X General] kdog350:
I just meant the signature. It was apparent to me that you liked the colors(:

[Moto X General] Penn Weizen:
It has been determined in this thread and others that the woven black feels the same as the other "soft touch" backs. Can I assume the same is true for the woven white vs the other "smooth finish" backs (meaning they feel indistinguishable from one another)? I've read so many threads looking for this specific answer and keep getting conflicting reports. I've held a woven white and quite like how it feels so I'm hoping the other smooth backs feel the same.

Spearmint with black front and accents. I'm getting mine today, so I'll post pictures soon. I hope it isn't too bright :eek:
[Moto X General] Rask40:
It's definitely a crimson/maroon red. A nice deep red, not a touch of pink in it at all. Love it, it's totally eye catching, which I never would have expected with such a dark color.
[Moto X General] biggins82786:
Lets see it!!
[Moto X General] aooga:
It looks pretty awesome to me!
[Moto X General] biggins82786:
Hell yeah, bro! Pretty sure I'm gonna be doing the spearmint back. I'm leaning towards white front and am completely lost on accent color.
[Moto X General] km8j:
I'm pretty torn between navy with silver accents and cement with blue accents. Any opinions? I see a lot about the navy and people liking it but only a couple posts on cement.
[Moto X General] APeaceofStrange:
Just FYI that according to the descriptions, navy has a softer back while cement has a smoother back. I think I'd prefer softer personally.
[Moto X General] gtg465x:
I made up my mind that I wanted a softer back early because I sit my phone in my lap while driving and slick phones slide right off when I turn haha. Really limits my options though. No Dev edition, only a few colors to choose from.
[Moto X General] :
I thought cement looked pretty great but I ended up with navy in the interest of long term cleanliness. Sometimes I get my hands dirty and still need to handle my phone - I try to minimize that, but you never know how light colors are going to react to stuff like grease. I always expect it to come clean, but once in a while...

The difference between the "softer" and "harder" backs is really only detectable when you're holding it - neither one is going to make a big difference in your lap, I don't believe. They're all somewhat softer than, say, the Samsung Galaxy phones, and by the same token, none of them are all that grippy. Have you handled any of them?
[Moto X General] km8j:
Thanks for pointing this out. What is weird is that it appears the woven black is a STRONGER material based on the "woven" deal?? Says "advanced composite materials" and some of the reviews say the woven is meant to strengthen it.

Anyone know anything about this?
[Moto X General] locness:
Anyone have a black front, woven black back, blue accent? post pics?

I'm between the silver or blue accents....silver would be too plain...but idk if I'd like the blue accents.
[Moto X General] GreenMunky:
Look back through the thread, I posted mine.

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X General] :
I'm not really sure, I didn't think the woven was kevlar. However, keep in mind that there's a point of diminishing returns here - if you do anything to the phone that would destroy the plastic back, it's more than likely that you are also displacing internal components, shattering the screen, etc. And, of course, a kevlar back will break too, so you have this narrow window where the plastic back might break and the kevlar back might survive... but it's highly unlikely the rest of the phone survives unscathed within that window.

Pick based on aesthetics - strength isn't an issue.
[Moto X General] GreenMunky:
If you look at the tutorial on how to replace the back of a Moto X, you see when the black, woven back is removed, that there is in fact a metallic, woven material on the underside of it.

I can also attest to a metallic material underneath because I dropped mine on concrete (from a height of maybe 3 feet... scared the sh*t out of me because i thought i might've cracked the screen) which dinged the bottom-right corner and exposed a tiny sliver of it. I was able to use a very fine grit nail file (a padded one) to buff it back flush so you don't feel any bumpy roughness when running your finger across the damaged area. Still makes me sick when I look at it. May actually try to replace the back now :(

[Moto X General] km8j:
yea but does this mean that the NON woven would have the same result???
[Moto X General] Jayrod1980:
Love my moto maker phone. The build quality is much more precise to me than the demo units I played around with at best buy. The white face in the store had rough edges and looked cheap, but I was too afraid of black scuff marks on that border bumper a la the nexus s, so I went with white and I'm impressed. I was going to go with royal and silver as I'm air force, but the color was a little gaudy and I felt someone would mistake me for a rabid cowboys fan. In the end I picked olive with silver accents and couldn't be happier.

Well... Maybe I could be a little happier. Anyone notice on the white faced version that the LCD isn't aligned? Maybe mines an isolated case but the black border isn't uniform around the edge of the screen. Not a huge deal but my eyes occasionally pick up the difference around the edges.
[Moto X General] Fender127:
Going to order a Crimson one with black front and white accents tomorrow hopefully for the cyber Monday sale, I'll probably post pics of it when I get it when it arrives. :D:thumbup:
[Moto X General] gtg465x:
Yes, I have handled both, although always tethered to cables. Even excluding the lap scenario, the softer backs just feel better in hand to me. The harder backs seem like they would make one handed use a little harder because they are so slippery. You ended up with a soft back, so you especially will have a tough time convincing me in favor of a hard, slippery back.
[Moto X General] :
I'm not trying to convince you to do anything. It doesn't affect me in any way, shape or form. I was only trying to offer input on your buying decision - and that input was simply that you should feel the difference before you write off the harder versions.
[Moto X General] JWorth:
Picture?? I'm between black front w/ olive back and black accent OR black front w/ spearmint back and black accents

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

thanks for sharing! Color looks great, but I think I might go with the black/olive/yellow accents after seeing it.

Also, where are you guys seeing the option for a signature on the back?
[Moto X General] eyc:
Yup. I have alignment issues on my white-faced version. I'm sure it's more noticeable because of the contrast between black digitizer and white border.
[Moto X General] jonnythan:
That sucks. Mine appears perfectly aligned, near as I can tell.
[Moto X General] eyc:
It's only by like 2-3 pixels, but my OCD flares up for this kind of thing. I also wish there wasn't the "under-scanning" type effect where I can see about 4-5 pixels of just black space between the pixels that light up and the white bezel.
[Moto X General] rockingondrums:
Can someone post a good picture of the turquoise back for me?
[Moto X General] aooga:
It's under the Styling tab. It's right next to the "Accent" tab. I like engraving stuff, and I hadn't done it since my ipod 5 years ago, so I thought I would do it again.

It isn't actually engraving though. It's more like painted on the top. I was worried that it would come off, but since the first one I had was defective, I decided to try to scratch it off, and it didn't come off. (I didn't use a knife or anything, just my fingernail)
[Moto X General] jonnythan:
If you Google you'll see a lot of good pics.

I almost, almost got the turquoise/white. Decided to go with royal blue because it's my tennis team's color.
[Moto X General] rockingondrums:
My hockey team is pacific teal, which is close to turquoise...

Google results are all stock / press render type images. I want real world images.
[Moto X General] detonation:
Really liking the cement color. Has a nice thick feel to it. Dunno what accent to add though. Is chalk basically just white? That's what it looks like from pictures I've found.

Also, a good way to find real life picutres of the colors you're looking for is to search ebay or swappa. Swappa you can't search past listing but you can find them via google - "site:swappa.com moto x [color]"
[Moto X General] Solutions Etcetera:
Saw one at the Verizon Store last Friday. It is a pretty medium grey, and it is one of the smooth finishes (which I find a little slippery).
[Moto X General] detonation:
Sorry I meant to actually ask if chalk was white, not cement.

Which colors are smooth (versus matte or whatever the other texture is)? The woven black in the store actually felt the same the torquise next to it, both basically a smooth soft touch feel.
[Moto X General] Solutions Etcetera:
If you go to Moto maker and click on the various colors, the description will tell you the material, but the reality of it all is the lighter, brighter colors are smooth and hard and the darker ones are matte and soft, and the woven black is the gripiest of all IMHO.

Haven't felt the woven white so don't know about that one.
[Moto X General] T-Keith:
I'm pretty sure it is engraved, probably later etched. It is not just painted on.
[Moto X General] aooga:
It isn't. It's raised quite a bit.
[Moto X General] detonation:
Totally overlooked that description section since I've been using the site, ha. Thanks.
[Moto X General] gitku:
This is chalk/blue accent with white front ... The whites definitely aren't the same but it looks good.
[Moto X General] aooga:
Why is the seam where the back meets the front so messed up? It's like they didn't put it together properly.
[Moto X General] gitku:
I think that was lighting issues from my ktchen light .. I can't see what clearly pops out in that picture when I look at it ... I took this one in better light .. Was trying to show the slight color difference between chalk and the white front
[Moto X General] aooga:
I'm OCD like that. Here is what I mean.
[Moto X General] 19Interpol:
I was really leaning towards the chalk back, but after seeing some real world pics I think I prefer the woven white of my dev edition. It's too hard for me to pass up the Moto X sale so maybe cement.

Sent from my XT1060
[Moto X General] eyc:
I was really concerned when I received my MotoMaker because of these seam issues. Two demos that I saw had bad connections like the one pictured, and one had a gap, rather than the overlap/bumpiness shown in the picture. I think the quality control isn't great. For instance, on my phone, the screen is slightly off-kilter radially. I also have a small bump in the front bezel right above the earpiece.
[Moto X General] GreenMunky:
You'll notice the same bump on the bottom, center of the front bezel as well. It's designed that way so that when you lay your phone face down, the screen doesn't make contact with the surface it's laying on.

[Moto X General] Solutions Etcetera:
That does look dreadful... and if it were mine it would be returned for another.
[Moto X General] jonnythan:
Looks like the user opened the phone himself.
[Moto X General] jhealy:
How bright are the blue accents? Were those pictures taken with flash? What color is it closest to on this chart? I'm hoping the accents are something close to dark blue.
[Moto X General] :
Yeah, there are now 3 Moto Xs in my department at work and I just went around to check all of them - none have anything like that, not even a blip. They're all perfectly even. It does look like it was opened.
[Moto X General] detonation:
Saw these on reddit and I think this is the combo I want. It's simple black and white but I like the contrast and the blue really pops:

Otherwise I've also been contemplating the inverse of that, with a navy back and silver accent, since I'd kind of prefer the soft touch grip back rather than the smooth one.
[Moto X General] chigger254:
Using the pictures posted by kcbboy, I think I am going to go with black/olive/black. Kinda want to have a colored accent, but I want a soft-touch, so I can't have the white back, and I don't really like how the accent colors look with olive.

I was thinking maybe olive/blue but I'm not sure the colors on Motomaker are accurate, and don't want to risk it. (also not sure I got the olive color right, since it seems to vary wildly in images I've seen online)
[Moto X General] kcbboy:
if you want to see the colors in person just walk into an AT&T store.
[Moto X General] Solutions Etcetera:
For me, Motorola really blew it here as all backs have a silver M logo in the dimple in the back. This makes any accent color other than silver look like an add on.

They should have made the M an adhesive backed medallion (like on the old RAZR) available in the same accent colors.
[Moto X General] mawells787:
I'm sure in future versions we will have even more customization. But this is an industry first and a real logistics nightmare. But they've managed to pull it of with remarkable turn around time from ordering to delivery. So you have to give them credit for it.
[Moto X General] Solutions Etcetera:
I suppose, but really wanted a Rosewood back. I ended up going with black /black / silver however. I am very happy to have one at the 350 price point, so I am satisfied with the current options. But for folks buying these on contract (or paying 5 to 6 hundred off contract), I would have liked to have seen more options for them. The whole wood back teaser, and the major delays for them is kind of a downer.
[Moto X General] chigger254:
Small town area, stores around where I am only have black or white versions.
[Moto X General] Solutions Etcetera:
Same here, but the Verizon store had a little lucite display that had 'most' of the backs in it. The one color I wanted to see (cab) was AWOL however.
[Moto X General] GreenMunky:
Best Buy stores usually have a display set up with the different color options that you can see and feel.

[Moto X General] BobBackwards:
Color combo opinion needed

Torn between three totally different combos. Any opinions? Also, is mint too girly?

#1: royal blue, white, and red accent

#2 mint, white, and silver accent

#3 cement, white, and blue accent
[Moto X General] jonnythan:
I have royal blue with white and orange accent. It looks really sharp.

The Mint is nice, but I think it'll look washed out with a white front. Mint with black looks nicer.

Cement and white are too similar.
[Moto X General] BobBackwards:
Thanks for the thoughts. I like the mint with black as well, but I want a white front. Perhaps I'll just do the USA phone and send it back if I don't like it.
[Moto X General] jonnythan:
I actually went through the same thought process. I wanted the mint back, but I also wanted a white front. They didn't look good together so I went with a darker back.
[Moto X General] robotphood:
I got a mint back, white front w/ silver accents. Seen a mint back and white front in person and it looked nice. Adds color but subtle/subdued. But then, I'm used to the colorway since my white ipad mini has a mint moshi versacover on it. My backup is a pure black version I also have coming (love black front with the dbrand mahogany skin on the back).
[Moto X General] jwis:
just used my code to order my brothers phone considering i have a dev edition ordered. royal blue back white front red accents because merica!
[Moto X General] BobBackwards:
Aaaah, my code FINALLY just came and now you have me thinking about the mint/white again. Let me ask this: how does the mint do with dirt?
[Moto X General] :
I've got half a mind to order a dev edition on Monday, and swap the backs for my blue Motomaker version, then sell my now black-and-white locked version...
[Moto X General] robotphood:
No idea. I only handled it for a moment from someone I met for the first time. It looked clean but they only had it for a few weeks. That's the one thing I'm worried about too. Light colored soft touch coatings get dirty pretty easy.

I don't think there are going to be dev versions available, unless you're buying full price?
[Moto X General] jennyfurwhen:
It's actually really close to the pic gitku posted here - http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2431580&d=1386119612

It's not really a dark blue (IMO) like the navy blue back option cause it has a metallic sheen to it.
[Moto X General] rupterr:
Agree. That's why I got silver accent with blue/white.
[Moto X General] htc fan89:
I ordered a spearmint -white with orange ascent and "Nexus X" on the back and on the boot splash screen :victory:

[Moto X General] barondebxl:
I got a crimson back, black front with yellow accent. Sexy!
[Moto X General] chigger254:
Apparently I can't figure out how to make an iPhone take pictures that don't look washed out, but here is the Moto X I got to replace my Nexus 5. So far the only thing I miss about the Nexus 5 is the higher picture quality, wireless charging, ceramic (N5) vs plastic (MX) buttons and ease of rooting, but the things I like about the Moto X over the Nexus 5 easily trump those.

The green is actually a bit brighter and nicer looking than the pictures show.
[Moto X General] DessertDevice:
I love the olive/black. I might do this same configuration.
[Moto X General] chigger254:
The first image here is actually much closer to the actual Olive color of my phone, as opposed to the second image which is the picture I took with the iPhone that looks super washed out.
[Moto X General] robotphood:
After using it for a day I don't think dirt will be a huge problem. The back is not really soft touch but more of a smooth matte.
[Moto X General] jonnythan:
Wow that looks much sharper than I thought it would.
[Moto X General] RenSoAbrupt:
I got a white front, olive back with metallic orange accents. Best color combo for me considering I like those colors and it matched so well in MotoMaker. Anyone else got this color combo?
[Moto X General] kuz142:
Is the yellow too much?

I was wondering if you find the yellow a little too bright, or if it's more subtle in real life?
[Moto X General] :
My coworker just got black/olive/orange yesterday. I really liked the olive/orange combo and almost got one for myself when I first ordered.
[Moto X General] RenSoAbrupt:
Not bad, I initially wanted a Spearmint/Orange/White. What did you decide on for your Moto X?

The Dev Edition looks really nice as well. Once you've had your color for a month, all the other colors look better ;)
[Moto X General] :
Head over to the accessories section and buy a new back color for it.
[Moto X General] MikeG7265:
That's exactly what I did. Bought a new back off of eBay. So now my dev edition is Black, Navy Blue, and silver. Personally I just didn't like how slick the woven back was. Plus it's nice that my device is completely unbranded now. :)
[Moto X General] dokukinoko:
If it makes you feel any better, I think the Dev Ed. is sexy. Woven white isn't an option people can get in MotoMaker.
[Moto X General] jonnythan:
What did you do about the flash assembly and insulation on the underside of the cover? Do you have any pics?
[Moto X General] MikeG7265:
Sorry, I don't have any pics. But I just used the flash assembly from the original back, and I moved the blue insulation from the old to the new one, and it feels just as sturdy as it did originally. There was enough adhesive left on the back of the flash and the camera lens to hold them in place.

There's a thread in the accessories section about replacing the backs, and there are some pics in there of others that replaced theirs.
[Moto X General] laur3n.newm4n:

[Moto X General] detonation:
I've narrowed my design down to black front, blue accent, and either chalk or cement back. From the pics I've seen, the black/blue/chalk design really pops, but I feel like a white back is too common and boring, and it might get dirty. Cement looks good, doesn't quite have the contrast as chalk, but also looks a little more professional. Thoughts?

Of course if the wood backs come out within my exchange window then it doesn't even matter
