Has anyone actually used both a "non-slip" back and a "smooth clean" back Moto X? Is there an actual difference in how slippery the phone is?
Trying to decide between a Dev Edition or Mint back for a replacement device.

do you mean smooth vs. woven? others have posted that the non-woven backs are actually more tacky than the woven ones.
Well right now I have royal blue, which is described on Moto Maker as "soft nonslip." Woven black has the same description.
Mint, however, says "clean and smooth."
maybe that's just a description. vzw has the backs displayed like a peacock. they all had the same rubberized coating. if you want/need additional tack, you could always get a case.
A case is not an option. Just looking for opinions on people who have held and used both.
The smooth backs are definitely more slippery. The are a harder plastic without any kind of soft touch/rubberized feel to them.
I have the Dev Edition with the woven back and I gotta say that it's pretty slippery. I can't compare to the solid colored backs because I've never held one in my hand. Just chiming in that the woven backs are pretty slippery. It really surprised me because in the pictures, the woven back looks like it would be more 3D; like they would have the actual feel of a back made of woven materials instead of just a paint job to look like it. I know that was the point, it just took me by surprise is all.
Interesting, and unfortunate. I wonder if the black woven back has a different texture than the white woven, because the black says soft non-slip.
Not that I want the black woven back. I guess I'll be avoiding the Dev edition *and* the Mint back. Too bad.
I have not felt the white woven back, but the black one is pretty grippy (much more so than the light colored smooth backs). They are not painted, but actually woven. The pattern comes from some translucency in the plastic that shows the underlying fibers.
If you go to a carrier store, they usually will have a black woven back and most of the colors that you can feel.

Yeah the black woven is pretty grippy. Almost rubbery.
My wife's blush (the light pink) back is smoother and less grippy.
Black and white woven feel completely different. I have both. White woven is smooth, hard, and slippery. Black woven feels like silky rubber if that makes sense. It's not super grippy, but definitely more grippy than the white woven.
Just read the descriptions for each color on Motomaker. It says which ones are soft touch and which are hard / smooth.

Went to an ATT store and felt the different backs. The darker colors seem to be more grippy. I made a note that: Olive, Navy, Royal Blue, Black, Cabernet and Crimson were the ones with grip. Not sure about the woven ones.

I was just at Best Buy and this is definitely the case. The non-slip colors have a rubbery texture that the smooth ones lack. White woven does not have it. That said, it seems to be just as tacky with a light touch.
Thanks.

Yeah, the hard, smooth colors can occasionally be tacky. If your hands are warm, a little clammy, have a bit of moisture on them, the hard, smooth backs stick pretty well. If your hands are cold or dry though, they can be very slippery.
Thanks, that's a good point. I'll probably go "reverse-dev-edition" with a woven black back and white front, with blue accents.

I always find more Spigen cases listed on Amazon.com than I do on Spigen's own site, you would think they would actually showcase their full product offerings.

Received my phone yesterday. Now just waiting on my Neo Hybrid. ?
I picked up the Heavy Duty case and got it already. Seems like a pretty nice case. I'll post pics with it before it's on the phone and after when I get the phone from Sprint hopefully on the 10th.
I'm waiting for both

Here are the images with the case.
I have the Spigen Thin Fit (http://amzn.com/B00SV63DKE) in gun metal, and I am very pleased with it. Ordered from Amazon and have been using it on the phone since the 1st of this month.
When I received it it felt as if the phone was "rattling" around in the case a bit, but it didn't really bother me.
A day or two later I got this e-mail:
The case came in this past Saturday, and it is definitely a better fit, no more rattle!
I have bought Spigen products for many of my previous devices, and customer service like this ensures I will continue to do so.

lovely!
did it get noticeably thicker? I couldn't really tell from the pics
Coming from the Nexus 5 this phone is still very thin with this case on.
Does the wallet case feature smart wake?
dbrand was kind enough to ship me some skins for review for both the LG G4 and LG G3.
I figured I would post the reviews here on XDA to help the most people I could, here goes.
For the LG G4 I have the Black Carbon Fiber skin with accents and the White Carbon Fiber skin with accents.
For the LG G3 I have the Mahogany Skin with accents, and the Zebra Wood Skin with accents.
The skins arrived in simple plastic sleeves with a dbrand insert and the skin itself.
Once you open these the first thing you will notice is the skins have a texture.
The carbon fiber really looks and feels like carbon fiber.
You can actually feel the wood grain in both the wood skins.
The printing on these skins is second to none, they all look realistic.
The cutouts on the speaker grill, camera, and sensors are perfect.
The application of this skin is the easiest yet.
All you have to do is place the button and camera covers (accents) on.
Then just use the 3M paper to keep the entire skin from sticking as you align the camera cutouts.
Realign the paper sideways and align the speaker cutout.
Remove the paper completely.
Finally use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat up the edges and press them into place.
I used a heat gun on the lowest setting, a hair dryer may take slightly longer.
Just in case you do not believe how easy the install is, I have made a video of me installing one.
Remember I have no extra experience doing this, it is this easy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQFYXfo47Z4&feature=youtu.be
Once installed you will really see how perfect dbrand made these skins.
Every cutout and edge will be exactly where it should be.
There are no overlapped places or short edges.
I have used both Skickwraps and dbrand and in my opinion dbrand has done a much better job with their skins.
If anyone is considering skins, dbrand is the way to go.
At $9.95 for just the back and accents and $17.95 for the back, accents, and front, these are a great price.

I hope this review will help someone.
Please ask any questions you want, I will try and answer if I can.
P.S. my favorite is the White Carbon Fiber back with the Black Carbon Fiber accents.
Do these stay on the leather cover ?

They're for the plastic backs, not the leather backs.
Picked up the brushed metal skin from Skinomi. Video here

I've tried the wood and clear skin, this one is my favorite thus far. The grey sides match and blend in really well with the already grey bezels so you get some scratch protection that looks good and blends into the phone. The back fits really well and it makes the entire back look like it came stock in the brushed color.
From my experience with the wood skin, this one is much more flexible and pliable. This helps in how well you can get it to fit along the curved edges. Feel like this is the best skin to fit the design of the phone from the ones I've tried. It is less sticky than the clear skin which gave the most grip.
Hello Everybody
I have bought Ice Blue version without thinking about the case compatibility.
Black version appears to be the perfect choice for cases.
I initially thought i could change the battery door easily, But that also seems not possible.
Now what the Ice Blue version users can do now ?
Ringke fusion

I would also choose this case. I have a black N5X with a dBrand skin on it, and it allows it to show perfectly. Here is a link to the case.
Ringke fusion is good but bulky,
I have the ringke fusion ( smoke black) for my ice blue n5x. I went for the ice blue model cause it looked diff and cool. Honestly paid extra 3k for it. I am using the ringke fusion. its nice but adds up thickness to the phone which i dont like, so any other suggestions?
I suggest Invisible Shield, Gadgetshieldz or BestSkinsEver

If you don't care bulk,you will have many choices, Ice Blue version is cool!

. Is there any skin rather than hard case for ice blue model (nexus 5x)?
i really love the color of the cool ice blue so i prefer transperant silicon or hard cases they are cheap too and dont spoil the look of ice blue
LG Snap-on case; by far. I have 2 of it (black and ice) and they are both looks perfect.
