Back plate "shell" - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is the back plate (shell) easily changed out like the Moto G.?
Put my hands on the N6 for the first time today in a T-Mobile store, the N6, is an overgrown Moto G (2nd Gen.)..very, very similar..would be KOOL, if the back plate changes simply, in a few seconds, like the Moto G..or is it complicated like the Moto X (1st Gen.).?
The T-Mo store had the N6, strapped/cabled down..and could'nt even look at the back side of the N6..

The Moto G was designed to have a removable back cover, the Moto X's and the Nexus 6 weren't. The Moto X 2013's back cover is held on by clips, so removing it and replacing it while not exactly easy is fairly doable. The Nexus 6, the back cover is held on by adhesive, which would probably make changing it out a bit of a problem.

You also have plenty of D-Brand skins to choose form if the look and feel of the back is not what you want.

[Q] Are there any frame type cases for the Moto X?

Spotted this on the Razer site:
http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-accessories/iphone-5-protection-frame/
I've seen iPhone frame type cases, but was wondering if any such exist for Moto X.
What you are looking for, I think, is normally called a bumper case. The only one that I know of right now for the Moto X is this one: http://www.tvc-mall.com/details/For...-Hybrid-Bumper-Case-Black-Red-MHC-XT1058-01C/

No custom back cover ?

Anyone else thinks they should have offerd diffrent back covers like the moto x. Would have love to have it with the wood look.
Nope. That is only available on the Moto X.
Nope. That adds a lot of overhead to the phone. If you want it just grab the Nexus 6 Mini.

[YouTube] Motorola Moto G 1st and 2nd generation Flip Shells compared and reviewed

Hello folks
Okay. I have had a 1st gen Moto G since March, and have - last week - bought myself the superb 2nd gen Moto G. I have had a flip shell (turquoise) on my first gen, almost since day one. Now I have the 2nd gen, I have just bought myself a "Lemon and Lime" flip shell for it. These cases are very well designed, in most respects, but there are a few discrepancies and issues between the flip shells for each generation. In the video below, I show you both models, and explain as well as I can, the strengths and weaknesses in the design of them.
I hope you find this helpful... and possibly entertaining. Thank you :
Tank you so much for this video, it was really helpfull. I'm actually a fan of the flip cover, but due to the weak magnet I don't think I'll get one fot the Moto G2..

Replacement backs

Hey everyone,
Does anyone know where to get replacement back panel for the Moto X 2014? I thought I liked the leather, but I'm not sure about it anymore. I would like to try one of the plastic ones, definitely not the wood, I've been seeing some disasters from those. Is it possible at this point without contacting Motorola and their terrible customer service?
Before you post a lmgtfy.com link, I've looked already, and I'm not sure if I don't know what I'm looking for, or what, but I found a few sites...
etradesupply, and I think even Ebay have some parts that could be a potential replacement?
Edit:
Moto XT1095, if that makes a difference.

Double sided tape holds the shell on..I have attached a YouTube link, start at about minute 3:00 and you can see the removal process..
The new panel/shells that I have purchased from the eBay link I provided, come with the double sided adhesive already applied..just pull/peel off the plastic covering and apply to device..

Thanks for the video. I can see why the wood backs are peeling now. I'm totally not going to replace mine if I don't have to, but nice to know about the Sim tray trick.
