Re: Moto pure wood backs

I keep a case on mine during the week because of my job, but take it off on Friday night and leave it off for the weekend. I got my original moto X about a month after it launched. My back still looks excellent.

I've had my Moto X with bamboo back since November 2014. It was slightly lifting on one corner straight out of the box. 9 months later and its still exactly the same. The lifting corner hasn't got any worse, and the rest of it is like new. So yeah, apart from the common lifting issue, its aged fine

The bamboo back on my 2014 X doesn't have a scratch. And I don't use cases except for rare occasions. It looks classy and gets compliments to this day. So I am going to get that for the XPE as well.

You guys like living on the edge (Samsung wishes you would buy an Edge) not having a case. I plan on getting the 64GB plain black grippy one. If that is the basic cover. Putting a case on mine.

I use a case too because of my 2 year old and resale value. I'll still grab the charcoal ash though I think.

Re: Moto pure wood backs

Ooh Ok that's what I was wondering what kind of case you use during the week? Would having a black silicone or TPU case start to rub off onto the wood after constant use? Maybe I'm just being paranoid but it seems like it could be possible

I use this case as it lets the back show through & it is super protective without being bulky. My phone has survived many drops and being in my pocket with screwdriver bits, pocket knives and anything else you can think of that should have scratched it up all to heck, but nothing has affected it. I also use a screen protector with the case.

Re: Moto pure wood backs

I ordered my 2014 X (which my wife is now using) with the walnut back. It still looks fantastic. No scratches or easily visible scuffs/blemishes. If you look VERY closely in the right lighting, you can tell it's not a brand new phone. The only "case" that's ever been on it is the OEM Hula Bumper, and that's mainly to provide more of a lip to grab onto -- since the edges are so tapered.

I am tempted to go with one of the leather options this time around, but I will probably end up ordering walnut again.

Hello, i purchased a used 2014 moto x with the bamboo back from a ebay seller. The back is in perfect condition. I do not see any lifting up in the corners that others have experienced. I have always used a case on mine.

Yeah I want the Charcoal Ash back on the style. Just the fact I work in a dirty/oily environment is making me think twice about wood.

Put a case on it?

Mine is peeling from 3 corners now, but otherwise its in great shape. I ordered mine on the release day, and while I did use a case for a while, I find it completely ruins the feel of the phone.

How so in ruining the feel of the phone? Is it common for the corners to peel?

Moto wood backs stand the test of time???

I'm looking to order my new Moto with a wooden back and was just wondering if they hold up well over time and if the corners lifting is a common thing I should worry about? Thanks

The phone is beautiful and if I buy a wooden back putting a case on it will just destroy the phone.

My case has a clear back. I keep it on during the week because of my job. I take it off on the weekend unless I'm doing crazy stuff. My back still looks perfect after 2 years.
