I have this case for my Moto X and I love it - one minor issue I'm having is that it will often change volume settings when putting it away if I don't "lock" the phone first. It also has a tendency to answer/ignore calls as it pleases, when it rings and I try to remove it from the sleeve. Have...

I just checked it said 2:30 hours. I guess that's pretty low. Still impressive nonetheless - like I said with GS3 it would have died in a work day under similar use!

I've had my Walnut Moto X for a week or so I think now. I love it. I tell people it's the best phone I've ever had. I show people the useful and discreet "Active Notifications", the "Ok Google Now" wizardry, the "Driving Mode" special sauce, the underhyped and somewhat life-changing "Motorola...

Yeah I think I've decided to live with it. Already activated it and gotten all my apps loaded up, etc. I love the phone so far, and I'm not going to be too picky with the detail there. I have seen other examples of it too and if I sent it back and got a similarly defective replacement I'd blow a...

I agree - I sent the picture to customer support and they stated that that was normal for the wood backs and that it was not defective. I will take it up with them again when I have more energy. So tiring.

I see what you're saying - so the wood is actually missing underneath, so the white plastic is actually the top laminate layer. Still disappointing but I will keep it after my return struggles to date. I'm over it!

PSA: The backing underneath what appears to be "walnut paint" is white plastic, as you can see from this defective unit.

Well the Walnut has finally come. Unfortunately, while the finish is much better than the Bamboo, you can see the plastic backing through gaps in the painted-on "wood finish". I'm so tired of dealing with this after nearly 2 months that I think I may just keep it.

Well well. It's been nearly 2 months since I returned my defective Bamboo Moto X (See thread here. While I am much happier with the look of the Walnut, I have received yet another "defective" unit. You can see the plastic backing through gaps in the painted "wood finish". After how long it...

It's not that i didn't believe you, just that I didn't understand how each could be unique. I was thinking a wood laminate - now I get it. It's basically a "stained" wood. I bet they are all actually bamboo, as you suggested. They all seem to have very vertical grain, which is completely...

If that's true than how is it that no wood backs are the same? If that were the case wouldn't they just have a single finish, or maybe a few pre-programmed finishes, that they "wood" apply to the ebony and teak and walnut?

Update. Still waiting on phone. I am literally in the Verizon store right now. I've tried chatting with Moto tech support, Verizon tech support, tried calling both to get them on a conference call. Current status is Verizon tells me I placed an order through Best Buy and use my upgrade credit...

Re: New Wood Backs Coming Any Time! Ebony or Walnut. That is my big decision to make in the next 5 days. I wanted Rosewood to match my Strat's fretboard but looks like that was replaced by Walnut.

New Wood Backs Coming Any Time! Just got this e-mail (blanked out my code, for obvious reasons): Subject: Good News! Your Moto X with Bamboo: Hi XXX, Thanks for being one of the first to buy Moto X with Bamboo. We?ve recently been able to streamline our processes, and will be offering...

Since I am still waiting for my refund to process through, I'm really hoping that a Rosewood option pops up in the next couple weeks. That one has only been shown with the black bezel. They have been incredibly quiet about it though...
