I would suspect that the midnight blue back color of the Nexus 6 isn't on the moto maker for the Moto X 2014 but I am curious if anyone know what the color is or what the closest color would be. I assume the back is some shade of blue but I guess it could be black, does anyone happen to know on here? (I know this is no the N6 forum)
I thought slate at first but slate is very light, the only other color I can think of is navy blue.
Thanks

have to say as someone who went from a pure bamboo/white moto x, to midnight blue nexus 6, and back to a pure white/cw moto x... i can tell you that if there is indeed a midnight blue for the moto x, steer clear. geez, that phone smudged like crazy. the main part of the back got greasy, but particularly around the nexus lettering. it was pretty strange actually. it was like a grease halo effect. no matter how non-greasy you think your hands are and how much you've wiped it on your pants leg, five minutes later (seriously) it'll get smudged again.

I have a Nexus 5 so I know how easily the back can show grease. After I posted this thread I found out that the black back is more of a soft touch material so I think I will be getting that now. I went to an AT&T store to test it out and it also has a better grip to it than the colored backs.
I did a brief search and didn't produce an answer to my question. I had a 2013 X and my only disappointment was the color wearing out on the blue back. Does the 2014 version suffer from the same problem? I'm debating whether to go all black/white or with a blue back again.
EDIT: Nevermind. I'm going black or white.

I have the black edition for 6 months with a case 99% of the time and color seems to be the same as the first day.
Currently have the titanium variant but getting ready surrender it for the v2...just taking a poll of which color you guys like more..please dont say anything about onyx black being its not an option. Seriously thinking about going with coral blue but haven't seen it in person yet. Does the gold bezel pop a lot? That's that only thing that's keeping me from getting blue 100%. I'm not a huge gold Fan lol
Went from black to silver.
Coral blue is nice and the gold on it is subtle not in your face gold like that on the S7 and S7 edge. It actually goes nicely with the blue. I don't care for gold phones and I'm liking this.
Why am i only seeing blue and pink on the samsung website.
Wheres the midnight black or dark blue or bronze?
that is all they have to start, give me a purple one!
I ordered the copper metallic. Australia got 3 options: Midnight black, ocean blue, and copper metallic.
On the US they only have Blue and Purple because on the S9 sales black didn't sell well at all.

Yeah but guys arent going to buy the purple one, so they really limited the options there with only blue.
Canada got blue and black.
Im getting exynos and will have to go copper in absence of gold or silver.

I don't think I see people have a blue phone quite often. Kind of weird marketing strategy.
I had the choice of Blue, Black and Purple in the UK. Went for the Blue as black will just look like a slab. The blue isn't too light and will show up dark in the night so I'm all for it. As for the yellow S Pen - I don't mind it.

So no copper in Canada, US or UK.

I do like the black bezels,but,I couldn't disagree more,especially with the limited & seemingly arbitrary color options varying from region to region.
All color options (that Samsung chooses to use) should be available to all regions on Day One of pre-orders going live.
Also,not everyone likes to rock a case or body skin.
Of course,anyone who has been tuned-in to all things Samsung knows they'll offer some of the currently excluded color options (or new ones) at a later date,to reinvigorate the buzz surrounding the Note 9.
I wanted the Black model & could choose to import it to the US,but,the Ocean Blue is dark enough for me to suffice.
I get why peeps aren't enthused w/the color options,especially when the price of admission is over $1k (less any trade-ins)..
Just going to get a black Dbrand skin for it I guess. I hate blue, but I'm certainly not using purple. Putting a black case on the phone you'll still see plenty of the ugly blue on the back of the phone at the cutouts. I will cover everything with a skin. Thanks Samsung for forcing me to buy a blue phone.

The Ocean Blue woulda been my 2nd choice at best,if given the option of Black.
However,after seeing the Ocean Blue & Lavendar Purple colors in person @ Best Buy & T-Mobile,the colors of both seemed to be darker/richer than what I've seen in the various post-Unpacked videos & definitely better than the STOOPID Renders (all renders belong in the lowest depth of the world's nastiest septic tank,LOL).
Regardless,at minimum,Samsung shoulda offered the most common of color choices everywhere,black & some variation of gray/silver/platinum.
Don't get me started on that #*&!%$# banana stylus..................................
Man I ordered the Ocean Blue-Balls so at this point I'm thinking of getting some non adhesive black duck tape and applying it because Samsung wanted to be an ass about the color. LOL, JK I'm going to get the skin and the put it in the case. However I might consider the duck tape until everything comes in.

SlickWraps has a 50% off sale going on now,expires in about an hour (plus,you get two skins per order,not bad):

I ordered the lavender purple because I didn't like the bright yellow S Pen. I always have my phones in a case so I hope the purple won't show too much.

I still haven't decided/pre-ordered yet...... this (the Ocean Blue Banana Pen) is what has me on the fence.

I pre ordered the ocean blue in Ireland. We had choice of black or ocean blue
Just wondering if you are ordering Mirror black or Mid night blacks... Or waiting for purple of red color that might be released later?
Midnight BLK cause there is no other option for the 256gb.
I want that Thunder Purple.
Midnight!
I'm waiting for the Red!
Stealth!
I am going to get the mirror black and I pre-ordered the color shifting slickwrap that changes colors from the blue to purple. Only thing I don't like is the lack of led notification.
anyone ordering the thunder purple?

I might when it is released
Mirror black TMO variant and midnight black unlocked variant. Had red OP6 so if they release a red 6T I'll grab it via selling one of my 2. Purple I don't care for.
Was going to wait for Thunder Purple, but when I saw it was more lavender than an electric purple, I went with the Midnight Black. Zero regrets. The Midnight black is extremely classy and minimal. It makes the device look and feel like something special. The texture is so silky, and cold to the touch, like high quality brushed metal.
Got the Mirror black because it was the only color for the 6gb/128 option. In all honesty, I don't really care about color on a phone like this because there is no way I wouldn't use a case on a phone this fragile.
