Moto X Pure Edition: Share Your Moto Maker Design

Will be here Friday.

I'm considering buying the moto x pure (2015) with the bamboo back.

Is it prone to scratches more than a regular rubber back?

And how's the grip?

Can someone who has the bamboo back give me some feedback on it? Or other things I should know about it?

I'm not sure how much they differ in terms of hardness, but I can offer some insight after a few weeks of using my ash wood back.

Scratch-wise - I haven't noticed any scratches after the few weeks I've owned mine. While I am being gentle, I do place it and scoot it about the table, car dash, desk, workbench in the garage, etc.. So far it seems decently durable. Granted I haven't taken a knife to it or anything, but an average daily routine I haven't noticed much scratching.

Grippyness - When I first handled it, it felt more slippery than my old phone naked. however I did have a thin film protector on the old phone so could've been part of it. I got used to using the MXPE naked and felt it wasn't as slippery as everyone claims it would be. That was until I got a clear tektide case (mostly for shock absorption should I drop it) for it, and even as slippery as the case could be, it seems to offer more grip than the wood back.

Anyone have this exact design? Or black back with red Accent?

I am looking to get one with white front, silver frame, black back and red accent. Wondering how it would actually look in real life.

Call me crazy, but all I wanted was a white phone. I had them put the gold accents but to me they look almost silver.

I was thinking of the same thing but i am deciding between this and one with cabernet back, i cant decide, does anyone have any opinions on that.

Re: Moto X Pure Edition: Share Your Design

The cabernet is apparently a little more purple in real life. I was dead set on that until I saw some pictures on Google and reddit. Now I'm torn between that and deep sea blue.

On that note, the Champaign color is hardly "gold" in color but closer to silver IRL.

It is more gold-ish than silver-ish. Light gold though.

I know the moto x isn't even hot anymore, but I STILL wish there is a metal black accent and frame like on the Moto G 3rd Gen. That accent colour blends extremely well with deep sea blue back.

You mean lime? There is no yellow Moto X Pure.

A pink flower in the middle of a bunch of leaves. Lotus is what I thought of this color combo.

I have started to really like this look. Can you confirm or post pictures as to just how close the dark grey accents match with the bezel of the phone? I think the lighter shade of wood grain really "pops" with the dark front creating a nice contrast.

Thank you!!
