Changed my black for white - Moto X Q&A

I had a defective black Moto X so when I exchanged it I got white. Which color y'all like better? White or black? Will the white get dirty or no? I got a front and back screen protector on it it costed $30 at Sprint.

Yes white will get dirty.
I use alcohol to clean mine. Small dab on a towel and scrub away. Just don't use to much

[Q] Does the white MotoX backing seem to last?

I have a black MotoX with the black woven backing. My girlfriend is looking to get a MotoX, but she wants a white woven backing. Is this going to be one of those things that starts to discolor (i.e. blue from jeans, dirt in general, etc)? I think the white looks boss, but I don't want it to discolor. Especially if I put one of these cases on it.
Thoughts?

It's not a pain to keep looking clean? I'm actually thinking of returning my MotoX for when MotoMaker comes to Verizon.

What color? Navy?
I was worried about the same thing so I put a case on it, but I've been using it for the past month without a case and it's still pretty much flawless and not hard to keep clean. You don't see fingerprints unless your hands are really dirty and even then they wipe off pretty easily. I set my phone down on all sorts of tables and still no scratches when it slides and spins around.
Go for the white it looks awesome and they did a really good job designing it so it doesn't get dirty.

I saw a white one at a WalMart that looked a bit scuffed and dirty around the top between the headphone jack and the camera. This was a couple of weeks ago while visiting in-laws, so I can't go back to check. However, the white one at my local AT&T store looked to be in good shape.

I have a white weave back with orange accents and black front. No issues at all and I've had it since launch. Normally sits in my jeans pocket with no case. It is not picking up any discoloration at all, unlike my htc one which had the white parts stained from my jeans. I wouldn't have any concerns with the white weave.

Black - White hybrid

Hi fellas..
Now that back covers have slightly reduced prices on Ebay, I decided to take the plunge.
Ordered a white back cover for my black G2 and here are the pics.
I think it looks pretty neat and fingerprint visibility on the white one isn't that high.
Got the cover from here:
http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/28122764...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
That looks pretty nice. Was it hard to pry the back cover off?

WOAH. that's cool!
But why didn't you just get the quick window case in white and pry the window off? I have a white G2 and just bought a white and black QW case for when I get bored of the colour.

Well, initially it was difficult. But once ya got the first latch out (with a click), ya just gotta apply enough force for all the latches. An important point to note is that you'll have to use a plastic opening tool, or anything plastic, and relatively sharp. Any other material may damage your device.
Got my guidance from:

Well, this might sound crazy, but nothing beats having a complete naked device in terms of feel in the hand. I just wanted it to be small.. real small. And yea.. I've used the slimArmor for a week.. and then the Korean Nekeda case for much longer, but eventually ended up naked
I'll get a QW case when I pass this phone to my wife in April/May.
Does the case just snap back into place, or do you have to use some kind of glue to keep it in place? Really tempted to get a white back.. Do you think if I were to sell it later I'd be able to put the black one on again and you wouldn't be able to tell it was ever taken off?

It snaps right back on. There is no adhesive used at all.
Yes, I think you removed the back without damaging it, shouldn't be a problem at all.
Nice!

Great. But what is that ob pic nr.2 back of the case. Do you get everything (all the connector) in the case,
Is it possible to add a wireless charger into it. (D802 international.)
Anyone seen white vzw backs for sale?

Sorry, don''t get you on your first question.
Yes, all the antennas (black portions) are intact, together with the centre NFC piece. I doubt you can add wireless charger inside as there are no pins for you to connect to and also space restrictions.

Vzw users always get the shaft lol I remember wanting to make my gnexus white but never saw a white frame for the vzw version. I imagine it's the same for the g2.

White Moto X becoming discolored?

Sorry if this has already been asked, but I purchased a green moto x with a white front, and the plastic surrounding the screen has became discolored. It has almost a yellow tinge to it. Has anyone else had this issue? I've had clean hands when handling it and for the most part it stays on my desk or in my jean pocket. Motorola is going to replace my phone but i'm a little worried to get another white front....

I don't have a white front but it that happened to me, I would not get another one.

I'd go with black front. That's what I have I always thought white to be for women so all my phones were always black.
MOTO X SLAPPED
I also have an olive green back and white front. I got it mid December. Mine is still nice and white. People think I have an iPhone which kind of pissess me off, but then I can show them how cool the Moto x is.
I ordered another one, but I got a black front / orange back (orange is brand new as of yesterday along with several other colors). Thanks for the replies guys.

No White Color for ATT?

Thinking about getting a Nexus 6 with ATT, the only issue is that I want the white version but I only see mid-night blue on the website.
The only reason I want the white one is because the side edges are silver, I dont know why they didn't just make an all black one, Ill end up putting a black dbrand skin on the back to cover up the white.
buy it from google or motorola

Doing the ATT Next plan, going to a corporate store tomorrow to see if they can order me a white one, if not then I need to decide if the color is going to be a deal breaker.

AT&T only sells the midnight blue. No white, so AT&T will not be able to order you a white one.

Swap the back cover to white. There's a thread on here. You tube video as well. Fairly simple.
You can but it from moto using their moto finance and pay it off over a year with 0 interest.

Look into financing It through Motorola.
Just bought the mid-night blue through ATT Next. It doesn't look that bad in person plus I have a couple Spigen cases on the way.
Get a white case.

Need Some Help On Color.....

I have a Midnight Blue AT&T Nexus 6, and unfortunately it took a tumble and my mid frame got dented (no screen damage thankfully). So I'm going to replace it and was thinking about using a white/silver midframe and a black back, or just using the blue. My only worry is that where the black back would not be OEM that it wont be that great of quality. Any ideas or opinions on this? Thanks

FWIW: I replaced the "blue" back on my AT&T model because I wasn't satisfied with the ghost of the emblem after scraping it off. The factory "black" back that I purchased on eBay was exactly the same color. So I think the only thing blue is the frame.

There is an actual after-market, non-oem black back being sold on ebay. (But you are correct, there are sellers calling the oem blue backing as black)
