If you ask me, the wood actually works much better here than it did with last year's Moto X. But these photos give you a general idea of how wood looks with the phone's design, at least. Sleek and purdy as can be, and dangerously tempting (calm down, my sweet wallet.). The look you see here - bamboo with a white front - isn't what I'd pick, personally I prefer a darker wood like the walnut paired with a black front (which then also comes with a matching dark metal frame). Moto will offer four different wood choices this year: bamboo, teak, walnut, and ebony. It feels great in the hand, too - you know, just like real wood would. Having a real-wood back makes for an elegant, unique, and just plain cool-looking phone. Moto says the leather backs are "treated with natural oils" so they'll "age beautifully over time." Time, indeed, will be the real test. And already, you can see some dings and scuffs on the material. The leather Moto X I'm testing, for instance, had been used by someone else before it landed in my hands. The one thing I'd note is that we really don't know how leather will hold up on a phone over time. (It'd be weird if it didn't, wouldn't it?) Pretty darn spiffy. The leather looks, feels, and - yes - even smells like leather. When you see it up close, though - and absolutely when you touch it - the distinction is quite apparent.
With it, at least, the look is a bit more subtle than you might expect from afar, you might not even notice that the phone's back is anything out of the ordinary. This one's black, if you couldn't tell from the image. Moto is offering up a choice of four leather finishes: natural, cognac, black, and navy. To be clear, this is genuine leather from a real Chicago tannery - not chintzy faux-leather plastic like we've seen on certain other flagship devices. How 'bout them apples? The leather Moto X is certainly one of the most unusual phones I've seen. I've been spending some time getting to know the various options.
