[Q] Color back covers OEM? - Moto X Q&A

Anyone know if Motorola or an OEM will sell the colored Moto X back covers? I have a black one which is great for re-sale, but I want to get a few backs just to have some variety. They seem easy enough to snap on and off looking on the iFixit tear-down video.

If the back seems easy to take off would it be possible to swap out the battery if it dies for a fresh new spare battery?

If my caffeine starved mind remembers correctly that battery was really glued on there.

You could have at least drawn a picture of the Android on the front...give it a little flare.

It surely had to be inexpensive? Drawing such a picture on the front would have increased production costs and potentially made such a case impractical.

Think as though its marketing costs to get your product out there
I've been wrapping mine up in a t-shirt and throwing it in my backpack. That is until some decent cases are out.

Lol at the suggestions, on a serious note here's a decent alternative to oven mitts and padded envelopes on amazon UK.

I would call you all cheap 4sses but not everyone is as well off as I am. Great job with being creative! I do agree that the cases available right now are all little sub par. I bought a Moko case for 6 dollars and they offered to replace it for free. A little thick but good for free.

[HOW TO] Nexus 7 color-mod

Hi guys,
i always wondered why the "x" on the back of the nexus 7 doesn't come in the nice nexus-colors...
So i did some modification to color it, and it looks really great!
This is just a quick how-to and i'm sure anyone can do it, too.
First of all, i thought about how to color it, and because i didn't want to get some permanent stuff on it, in case anything goes wrong, i decided to use tape for it.
So i ordered some tape in the matching nexus-colors, and made sure that the colors fit properly (light blue and green).
Cutting it out was actually pretty hard, because i had to do it very accurate, but i managed it.
After i attached it to the back using a tweezer, i looked awesome, but check it out, exactly how i imagined.
Its not perfect yet (red one is a little to big) but it seems to hold pretty good so far.
Cutting it out with a laser would be perfect, looking for someone who could do that atm...
But anyway, it looks so much better to me than the dull black, and i'm sure you like it, too!
In case you can't see the thumbnails, try this: http://imageshack.us/g/1/9778350/
Very neat! If I had the tape I would do it, pero but I wouldn't really order it on purpose.

That's awesome! Quite a bit of work, but it looks like it played off. I may just have to try this.

I wonder if it would be easier using Acrylics paints. I think I am gonna give it a try some other day.

Thought about that, too.
Make sure to work very accurate, and tape off all the area around the "x", then this could be great. (I would paint 3 layers to make sure the color is well covering)
That looks very nice. I want it but cant be botherd doing it. Maybe some other time, probably when i am drunk lol.

If you try it make sure to post it, if it sticks well i have some acrylic paint lying around that could be used
OK, I tried the Acrylics paints, but I failed terribly. The ditches of the X were so thin the paints ended up everywhere. I even used a sewing needle to work with it but no go. So I think OP using colored tapes is a smarter move.

Cool. Might do this on the "x" of the official Asus cover.
Imagine if someone filled in the little dots on the back to create a nexus 'x'

Did you already order it? If not, forget it and go with the blurex ultra slim case, that's really the best one you can get and it's even cheaper!

Try clearing your cache, page history and whatnot. I suggest Ccleaner.
On Topic: I love the idea, but alas I am too lazy to look for the tapes.

My new Nexus 4 has..feet?

I just received my new N4 from an RMA and noticed that there are now what appear to be two small bumps at the bottom of the just beneath the glass back. At first I only saw one and thought it was an imperfection but then I noticed the other in the exact same location on the opposite side. My old N4 doesn't have this. I'm guessing this was done to keep the glass from making contact with debris when it's laid on it's back, thus reducing potential scratches and damage. So is this new or did I miss something? Anyone else have these on their device?
I attached an image to show what I'm talking about. The extra layer you see on the rear of the phone is my dbrand skin.
You missed something.

Has anyone gotten one yet? Are they the same as the proshell case that moto sells? It says they have "extra protection"

Wait, it's just a case? I thought it was actually built using Moto maker? Iow, I thought it was a special backing and all.

Do we have replacement back cases for 550KL like moto phones?

And what is the material of original back panel.
Because I feel little discomfort after taking it into hands from a dusty surface(table or rack). So wanna change to some replacement break panel which doesn't come with the same original material.

I'm not sure if they have them or plan to make them, but it would be awesome if they did. I do like the look of the back, but I like a slightly grippier texture. I have a 551KL so idk if they're different.
