It's been almost two months since the new Moto X has been shipping and I'm curious how the leather backs are wearing. Are you happy with them? I am really intrigued by the leather back and think that's the way I and to go.
 
I have the navy leather back and it is wearing great. I had one scratch that I was able to massage out. I love it. I just orderer a bumper but other than that I will be naked..

Which bumper and what color did you order? I am considering the navy leather back.

How did you massage it out? Care to upload a picture?
 
I was skeptical at first. But it has proved to be quite durable and elegant. I definitely love it a lot more than my ebony wood version.
 
Mine is wearing pretty nice. It's starting to get that leather wear-in look that looks fantastic! And is definitely a conversation starter.
 
I have black leather and it still looks brand new from a month ago, so I'm pretty happy with it
 
I have a black leather one about 1.5 months old and it is practically scratch-free. I don't have any case or bumper on it but I am careful in not just throwing it down; I make sure I'm extra careful when sticking it in my pocket (i.e. make sure i don't have keys or other things in the same pocket).
Very happy with it though enough so I'm selling my HTC One M8

I just used my fingers, nothing special. I wish I had thought of taking a picture but I did not. I will have to with the next one.

I've had the cognac leather since release. It looks exactly the same as the day I got it. No case either.

Anyone have any pictures of how the leather is holding up? I'd love to know what the wear looks like and if there is any peeling at all!
 
Some pictures. Nothing professional

That looks awesome, i can't wait. I have an ebony back on my 2013 X. Its a solid phone and the only thing I use is a tempered glass screen protector. The leather back is going to be awesome.

Looks good is that metallic gold or yellow accents? Also, it looks like you have the white front (with the lighter silver trim) correct?

Funny, I do the opposite with the OG Moto X, I take it out of my case at work and throw the case in my drawer. My phone sits in its dock most of the time but if I do have it laying on my desk it's usually on a napkin or on top of my calculator.
