Motorola Unveils Moto X Wood Backs: Price Drops For 'Wood Finishes'
Moto X Real ‘Wood Finishes’ Replace Plastic Rear Cover On Moto Maker
In addition to the previously announced bamboo finish for the Moto X, Motorola Mobility officially unveiled the rest of the well-leaked wood backs for its Android flagship on Friday.
The new backs, which Motorola calls “Wood Finishes” are available in Ebony, Teak and Walnut and will add $25 to the $399 off-contract price of the Moto X. Motorola says that the Moto X finishes are made out of real wood, and will each feature slightly different grains.
The Moto X can be customized and ordered with the new backs on the company's Moto Maker web site already. Motorola announced a release date when the wood-backed Moto X would begin shipping -- Tuesday, Jan. 21.
The first Moto X wood finish released by the Google-owned manufacturer was Bamboo, which originally cost $100 in addition to the cost of the phone. Motorola has lowered the price of Bamboo to $25 in addition to the new finishes.
Motorola announced earlier this month that it would begin selling the Moto X in the UK, France and Germany. It assembles the Moto X in the U.S., at a facility in Ft. Worth, Tex.
Is $25 a reasonable price for the Moto X wood back? Let us know in the comments below.
