hey guys dropped my nexus 5 red in the toilet
excuse to buy the moto x 2014 in the uk
cyber monday and 100quid off == NO BRAINER!!!
need some help on moto maker cant choose between
front : black or white
back: has to be wood!!!
bamboo seems to be a favourite but i like the look of the ebony i like the bamboo too
the problem is here in the uk i have never seen a moto x 1st or 2nd gen with wood backs
my wife has the 1st gen in black (only black and white came out here)
just please give me your thoughts and opinions
Get a black front, hides the sensors and won't look dirty over time. I got a black front, black leather back, with metallic green accents. Love it.
Where are the details of the £100 off on cyber monday ?
Thanks

go on motorola.co.uk
I hoping I'm able to register and get a code. If I get a code I'll most likely buy the X instead of the nexus 6 just because of the price. I haven't had a phone for over a week now my N4 literally doesn't work anymore, I even bought a new battery for it.

Anyway you are more lucky than I am. No Motomaker, no pure edition and even no phone yet. Now just asking US friends to order it and send it to me..
I did, Pure Edition with cognac leather and black front. Estimated delivery is the 26th. Can't wait to play with it!
Pure edition with estimated delivery on 9/26. Just a black front, frosted gray back and royal blue trim, 16gb.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Pure edition, Navy leather back, silver accents, and Black front.
Custom text says: Moto X
Went with 32gb Pure Ed, black w/smoke back, and met red accents. Est. Delivery 9/26
Deleted
Ordered one with AT&T.
Blue leather back, Black Front , Blue trims and 32GB.
Estimated delivery 9/26
Ordered 9/17 Black front, Teak wood back, Silver accents. Est delivery 9/26
I got a 16 GB Pure Unlocked, White front, silver trim, and bamboo back. simple, bet will stand out and look elegant
I am hoping Moto ships it before 9/26 for all of us
sent from my Nexus 7
I'm waiting and watching. On Wed MMaker gave me a 20-day lead time for a 32 G with a wood back, yesterday it was 19, today 18, so I don't think they are too over-subscribed yet. I will probably pull the trigger around the end of the month.
32g pure walnut silver trim black face. Ordered 9-17 eta Oct 13! Ah guess shipping in Texas sux
If you are currently using the Moto X, besides the larger screen, do you feel that it is an actual upgrade from last year for the price?
I ordered the 32gb Black leather, black front, dark grey metallic. 9/26/14 promised.
Att 32 gb (pure edition 32 gb not available for Att)black leather,black front and red trims. Availability sep26

I had verizon one on cricket wireless. Loved the phone,between I used droid ultra and would love bigger screen on my new moto x. I didn't have any issues performance wise but still better camera, screen, leather, getting away from plastic sides which will have minor cracks to more durable material. Mainly I love moto features
Replacement battery back cover for the Droid Turbo... Ordered it from aliexpress for 18$, being really skeptic about its credibility i was scared but impressed with their awesome service... Had ordered two cases off ebay and one month LATER still not here and both were sent using the same free shipping service from China!
I love the quality of it... its just brilliant.... Beware that some shippers are getting greedy and shipping it without the LED flash and charging extra for it but mine sent me the case along with the dual LED flash! I am just waiting for a front glass replacement to pop up so that i can make my Droid Turbo Brand New once again!!!
It was a horror story when it fell from my pocket and i rode over it on my two wheeler(Bike)! As i have imported the phone no replacement!!!
Anyways if u guys need any more pics or any info let me know!

Added links to the OP!
And i had bought it from aliexpress for 18$ i am not sure if it was cuz of a mistake in pricing or what but soon after my purchase the price was 28$! I was just lucky i guess....
Wow. That does look nice. How does it compare to the original ballistic? The exact same feel or any differences? Also, how easy was it to replace?
Now I just need someone to verify that the Metalized Back will fit the 64GB and that there is't some memory module or something that makes it need the nylon back....

Never used the Ballistic Nylon b4 so cant commenr on that... But the back seems of really high quality... And has original Motorola Logo with serial numbers n stuff so i am pretty confident its an OEM product... So guess they should feel the same!
Does anyone know if these backs will work for the Moto Maxx (the non Verizon version)?

Was also curious about this. Just saw this update today: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/red-64-gig-turbo-t2994543
TL;DR, it fits.
I want to try this but I'm concerned that I'll snap the frame.
Installation was painless. Used a guitar pick. No problems with the adhesive. Fits perfect.
i would KILL for a RED nylon one.

From some of the stuff I read is that there are some slight measurement differences between the devices. BN, Maxx, and the 32gb turbo.
So you all think it's worth the $25 to try this out then, right?
Still nervous about popping the back off a perfectly good phone, but man I want the normal black back instead of this nylon one.

I think that's just because the actual backs are different, but not anything else on the phone.

Here are the normal black back i find: http://bit.ly/1LN37lv
This black battery case only $15.9. Really cheap.
There are the nylon ones too. Very beautiful.

Black: http://bit.ly/1L39j8F
Red: http://bit.ly/1EGhBOg
I have swapped Metal Black with BN Black and Red, so all fit each other. Has any one found the covers without logos?
Has anyone seen the new limited edition covers?
http://www.verizonwireless.com/droi...0-MB-DE-DE-8734857_1124653_118724383_63130954
I would love to swap battery covers for one of these ^
Hey everyone,
Does anyone know where to get replacement back panel for the Moto X 2014? I thought I liked the leather, but I'm not sure about it anymore. I would like to try one of the plastic ones, definitely not the wood, I've been seeing some disasters from those. Is it possible at this point without contacting Motorola and their terrible customer service?
Before you post a lmgtfy.com link, I've looked already, and I'm not sure if I don't know what I'm looking for, or what, but I found a few sites...
etradesupply, and I think even Ebay have some parts that could be a potential replacement?
Edit:
Moto XT1095, if that makes a difference.

Double sided tape holds the shell on..I have attached a YouTube link, start at about minute 3:00 and you can see the removal process..
The new panel/shells that I have purchased from the eBay link I provided, come with the double sided adhesive already applied..just pull/peel off the plastic covering and apply to device..

Thanks for the video. I can see why the wood backs are peeling now. I'm totally not going to replace mine if I don't have to, but nice to know about the Sim tray trick.
Hello,
I'm planning to buy a Urbane in a few days.
I love gold color.
Please, if you have it, can you let me know if the steel is faded with the time or the color is exactly the same as when I bought it.
Also for the silver color, please.
Thanks in advance!

The eternal dilema...
I'm doubt BTW the Moto 360 (First Generation) or the Urbane:
In favor of Moto:
- Less cost (best offer for the 360 steel version is about 200€ and best offer for the Urbane is about 275€)
- Much large screen
- LCD can't be burned
In favor or Urbane:
- Circle screen
- Large battery
- OLED display (can be used to display clock all the time)
I do not know what to do!
Do you recommend to buy the Urbane?

Go for urbane, u won't regret. It has awesome battery life. Moto has not so good battery and processor is glitchy/slow.
I though fall for the looks of moto 360 black. but i personally own urbane silver.
Q: Has anyone ordered 3rd party back door covers (non oem) from ebay or other sites?
example: http://goo.gl/3z0jZB (not an endoresment)
If so, thoughts?
In other shops like aliexpress you can find from 3$. But all those doesn't have the ipx7 protection that original haves in the expansion slots. The touch and feeling are near to original.
Enviado desde mi MotoG3 mediante Tapatalk
These covers are also available on eBay India and i am also think of getting some.
I ordered a 3rd party door cover for my 1st gen moto X, what a mistake. It was a nice olive/camo green within a month the spots where it clipped into the back of the phone literally fell off. I used this phone always with out a case and never had that issue with the original back and huge difference in quality. I ended up contacting the seller about the back cover and he sent me another green one, within a week same thing happened. Contacted him again and he sent me a really nice navy blue colored back, put it on and the phone has been sitting since(thats when I got the moto g). I wouldn't risk it especially for the ipx7 water resistance, but if you do get some post some pix and review of them.

The original black, or the original other colors?
The original black (no customization, retail box) has a rubberized feeling.
The black or any other color ordered as a shell or customized from Moto Maker is nearly sheer plastic. You still get the grooves, but it's not 'grippy' in the slightest.
I'd gladly pay $20 - $25 for a replacement shell that had a rubberized feeling in a variety of colors (preferably one that matches Moto's Royal Blue).
