Motorola has now given these unique wood backs a $100 price tag. Some may find this expensive, while others will gladly dish out the cash.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"moto x wood\" alt=\"moto wood\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Resized-Bamboo.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"299\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>(image courtesy of Moto Blog)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Motorola is not offering any available option for current Moto X owners to swap out their handset backing for a wooden one. This means the covers are for new customers only right now. For those on AT&amp;T, Sprint and Verizon, a wood back Moto X will cost you $200 with a new 2-year contract. T-Mobile users will have to dish out $599 for an unlocked version with no contract required.<\/p>\n<p>The Moto X comes with a 4.7-inch 1280 x 720 display, 10-megapixel rear camera and 2-megapixel front, 1.7GHz dual-core processor, and 2GB of RAM. Although it is not the most powerful smartphone on the market, the handset does offer a pure Google experience similar to that of a Nexus device. However, a more powerful and cheaper Google Nexus 5 ($350 unlocked) makes the Moto X a much harder buy for many consumers, myself included.<\/p>\n<p><em>image &#8211; Motorola <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/photos\/+Motorola\/albums\/5957729826628928705\/5957729827682260882?pid=5957729827682260882&amp;oid=113884566566424587799\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google+<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>[cf]skyword_tracking_tag[\/cf]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Good news for all the Moto X fans who have been waiting patiently for that Bamboo back cover.
