Moto X (2014) —*Show off your design!

Here's mine, the amount of personalization truly made this phone feel more like mine. White front, Ebony back, Dark Gray trim.

Mine just came in today. Ordered on 9/27 with an expected delivery of 10/22. I didn't receive any notification of its shipping.

You can't tell from the pics, but I did a once over on the corners to check to make sure they weren't peeling and the bottom left corner is. It's not noticeable right now but I did see that there was less frame showing in that corner and when I pressed down in the area it made a popping sound like the adhesive isn't sticking. And there are a couple blemishes in the wood in the top right corner which you can see in the pics.

The blue trim looks great on the white front and with the ebony!

You should definitely exchange it in hopes the corners are done better. Sorry yours didn't come out right the first time!

I have a small blemish on the upper right corner of my ebony finish as well, like a white dot, I don't think this is a coincidence.
 
Just got mine today. White front/chalk back/dark metallic silver trim. The chalk back does not have the plastic feel. I have my name engraved on the back as well.

Ebony back, white front, olive trim.

For those looking for close ups of the engraving, I tried to capture it best I could.

Sorry. Have no idea how to embed the images, so y'all will have to browse on imgur. :)

I'm getting the same except with a natural or cognac back. The olive trim looks amazing, especially on the white front. Nice!

Ya, I'll definitely be sending it back. I'm going to play with it through the weekend and see how much I like the phone and then I'll decide if I want a redo or a refund. And I'm not sure I'll be picking ebony on the new phone, if I go that route. I'll probably go with bamboo or go with a plastic back if they don't acknowledge an issue with the wood/leather not sticking to the phone.

Covers 2/3's of my favorite teams colors. Cubs on the back and Bayern Munich on the front, even the back a little bit since their crest has the Bavarian flag.
 
Mine arrived today! Loving this so far! Pure 32gb white front, black leather, dark gray metallic trim. :)

black/black leather (where do you guys get the snazzy photos, designing it on Motomaker then post?

#leatherISbetter ;}

(ps. how do i change my username, i don't want it to be my full email)
 
Unfortunately I'll be returning mine, as the leather back is lifting off and peeling in the engraving area as well as the area between the dimple and camera - when I press on it with my thumb, I can feel it "stick" for a millisecond before popping back off the back, lifting, and making that adhesive unsticking sound.
If it's like this in 3 days, I'm afraid it may be much worse a 1, 3, 6 months down the line.

Got a return exchange authorized, and at first I was planning on returning for a plastic back so I don't have to worry about all the peeling/lifting issues on the leather or wood backs. But I love the leather so much, it feels super nice and I feel it's a big part of the moto X's unique charm. Going to give the leather back another try, just redeemed my PIN for a black front, black leather back, dark gray trim pure 32gb. Hope this one is better!
