Moto X wood backs are now a much more affordable option ($25) for those who want to go natural.
4 available options:
- Bamboo
- Ebony
- Teak
- Walnut
:drools:
Great deal... I bought the bamboo back last week, but Moto already sent me $75 coupon for accessories in the morning. I would have loved to pay less than getting the coupon but better than returning, buying and waiting.

If you contact them, they'll convert the coupon to a Visa gift card.
The ebony back looks amazing, but I don't think I can justify selling my used phone just to buy a replacement (wood-backed) phone
For $25 I would've bought the bamboo back. Instead, I didn't see paying $100 for the back, and I ended up buying just a white. With all these price adjustments i don't know if I were better off just buying the Nexus 5 and waiting until the next $150 off coupon...
yes finally
i will order 32 gb,bamboo back,white front and blue mettalic accents.
now i can have good deal
I'm surprised that for the people who bought the $100 bamboo back, Motorola sent an email with a $75 dollar coupon code towards any accessories order on their website to make up for the price adjustment. I'm really happy about how Googlerola is handling things like this. Looks like I'm going shopping :victory:
I wonder how long the price for the backings will stay at $25. I'd hope for a couple weeks as I really like the bamboo back but don't really have all that much to spend right now.

What do you mean.. It's a permanent price drop. I think the unlocked price will stay at this until the next version of moto x. Don't know about the useless carrier versions , since they keep running crappy promotions which locks people into 2 years and people fall for it.

If it's permanent, that's great to hear. I'm just a bit cautious in that it may be a promotional price to encourage the purchase of the new wood backs. The bamboo backing is what I have my eye on and I'll be sure to start saving especially now that I can save $75.

They gave back (automatically) $75 to people who recently bought the bamboo back, so it definitely speaks for a permanent price change.
This ticks me off. I ordered mine the 20th dec and got between the campaigns (skip, chromecast, 100usd pricedrop) and now they lowered the wooden backs by 75usd which I payed a 100 for?!
If I bought the phone in the "right moment" I could have it for 175 less.
**** you motorola and your pricedrops.
It's not even in my hands yet. I will get it on wednesday.

I haven't got anything from motorola (and where does it appear? On my motorola account which I ordered the phone from?).
I chatted with them about the campaigns and that was a dead end.
Do I need to call them? I live in Sweden so it's a bit complicated.

You are eligible if you bought a bamboo back from motorola.com. Again where did you buy it from? If you bought it from motorola.com, I don't see any problem.

If you want refund or didn't get the coupon code email then you need to call them.

I bought my VZW Dev edition on 10/29 for $649 (700 after shipping an all that). Just got off a chat where I asked if I could get a credit. They offered a $100 coupon to be spent in their online store. It's better than nothing so while I can't tell you how far back they'll go, it's worth a try.

Posted in the Dev Edition is out thread...
Ordered mine Tuesday night.. Called last night. They first offered me a $100 google play card. Then a $100 accessories.. A supervisor was checking on other options and will call me back. If I don't hear by when I get home tonight, I'm going to call and take them up on the accessories deal.

Same situation. I don't want the accessory coupon so I'll re-order at the new price and return the first device when the second one arrives. Just need to call to verify that there's no restocking fee.
Bought mine on oct 14. Think I could get the gift card or something?

I wasn't too excited about it myself but then again, having the device for a week and actually purchasing it 10/29, I'm just glad I got something. She even made sure to tell me that I can't use the credit towards any accessory that is specifically for the Dev edition. No clue what can be purchased specifically for the Dev edition but the only thing I actually want is the car dock so that's better then nothing.

Yeah that makes sense. If it was less of a difference I'd take the credit (which iirc only lasts 30 days). I'll probably buy the car dock from Amazon or something. Only thing that sucks is that I'll have to pay for the return shipping ($10 for FedEx ground).
Edit: You can ask for a free shipping label but you have to wait 24 hours. With the shipping label, the savings are $107 for me (tax).
I bought the T-Mobile version on 11-5-13 for $600 and it is now $500. I called and asked for a refund on the difference and they offered me a $100 credit for accessories. After refusing they offered me a $100 visa gift card, which is what I took. It takes 4-6 weeks to arrive however.

Was that Moto that offered the Visa gift card? or T-Mobile?
Anyone see a couple $1 charges on their card statements? In addition to the phone price (also with 10 cent bump).

$579 is not really much of a price break,, especially for Costco where items tend to be significantly cheaper than their competitors. I was hoping to see at least a $50 discount (10%).

I agree. I read somewhere here that at one point it was $50 dollar savings. But still having it available at Costco is still a win for us because of there fantastic 90 day return policy no questions asked.

Just bought a brand new white Note 10.1 2014 Edition 16GB on eBay for $519 and no tax. The seller has over 10,000 transactions with 99.9% positive feedback. Added a SquareTrade 2yr Accidental Damage warranty for $99 and I'm set. I preferred the black model, but it's going to be in a case. So the color was not a deal breaker by any means.
Now, I need a decent case and a 64GB micro SD card.
I picked one up at costco on the 6th. I wouldn't really call this a bundle. The pouch is pretty mediocre, the price is just okay, but the return policy is awesome and I didn't have to wait for it or go to best buy.
If anyone else bought this puppy at costco, can you explain how the pouch converts to a stand? I can't figure it out. The best I've been able to do is make a bump out of it and I don't think I would ever try to rest the tab on it; it would most likely just slip off of it. I pretty much just use it as a sort of placemat under it when I put it down. It's not even good as a pouch.
The note itself is pretty cool, though and I don't really mind not getting much of a price break. Sammy still hasn't sent me the code for the perks though. That kind of ticks me off. The serial number and the mac address don't match and it's taking them forever to deal with it. If they don't get their act together pretty soon I might just bring it back and wait for them to go on sale. It would be a shame though, this one has no issues that I've noticed yet. No screen bleed, build quality is excellent. Battery life could be better and there is a little lag but I can live with that. Oh well.

Well you have 90 days from when you purchased it at Costco so I'm sure something will happen by then. I too have yet to receive the code. I even had it escalated through live chat 3 days ago and was told that I should be receiving the code through email today. Nothing yet so far so I'm sure I'll be talking to Live Chat once again. Regarding the Pouch as a stand? My mistake it doesn't stand the tablet up at all. It's more of a way to set it down on an angle for typing maybe? But I agree not much of a bundle but we did save some money for a 32GB model. I purchased a Poetic slim case for $9.99 @ Amazon with Prime shipping. It looks great and now well protected. Very happy I bought this tablet.

Keep checking. I'm sure it will come that way. Costcos here carry them (Washington State).
Update: Finally received my Code perks! It took about two weeks but finally here. I now just registered my second Note 10.1 2014 unit for perks as well. Unfortunately I also had to speak with live chat agent regarding errors during registration. I was told I should be receiving my perks within two days.... more like 2 weeks. At least now I know it will be coming.

Still nothing at my local Costcos which are only pushing the Note 8 and Tab 3.
Personally, I bought brand new 16gb version on eBay from a reputable seller located in New York on December 13th and had it in my hands in Southern CA on the 23rd (even with the UPS delays). For potential buyers, you may want to consider this option, though only buy from a reputable seller.
I bought mine from Costco in early Dec for $579. It is interesting though, the store I went to had a whole stack of them, but no other Costcos in the Detroit area had any. When you check for them you may want to have them search all the Costcos in the area.

Just at my local Costco today and noticed that they lowered the price from $579 to $529. If you purchased yours within 30 days of this change in press you can get back the difference or just simply return it and get another one since you have 90 days return policy.

Costco refund
I paid 579 for mine. I saw they now had it for 529. I went in and got 50 refund. I think this refund time is for 90 days. Just offer to either return it or get the difference and they will always give you the difference.
We have 3 Costco's here and only one has ever had the Note 2014. The other two never have it. They have it online, but the price is higher.
The pouch is pretty worthless. If it can be a stand, I have on idea how that would work.

Yes as a stand I agree it's worthless, it's more like a way to have an angle when you rest it on a flat surface for typing maybe? I was told from an employee if you purchased before the price change, you have 30 days from the start of the reduced price to refund you the difference. Your safety night of course is the 90 day return policy.

I purchased mine from them a week ago.
Mine came in an open box, but from what i have read, this happens in all stores.
New Egg is definitively not Amazon, i had lots of problems ordering mine, and customer service could not provide a simple answer. Having said that, they currently have the white version for $279, and you could see if their Masterpass offer (20% off) is still active for even more savings.

Yes. You have to go in store and have one of the workers look online and see that its indeed cheaper. Sometimes you can show them on your phone but most often they look it up themselves. Sometimes they try to say its not the same item but obviously there's only one model of the gpad. Only difference is white and black. Also they think all tablets are white due to the box only showing the white version. So you need to educate them that they need to read the sticker to see if it's black or white.

Honestly it all depends on the store. They will probably just price match the 299 price. The good thing about best buy is if you have any issues you can exchange easily. I had to exchange mine that had a dust particle under the screen.

Best buy will not post purchase price match with anyone other than themselves. They also won't match the coupon deal part.
While best buy has improved recently in response to online retailers putting pressure on then; they still will loose business this time with the restrictions of their policy.
It will be a pain to do this but worth $50.
I bought my LG G Pad 8.3 from Newegg when it was on sale for $250, tablet came just fine and works like a charm, no issues, have dealt with Newegg in the past and never had any issues.
I purchased mine yesterday using the 20 $ off total was about 299$. LOL I live in New Jersey so I had to pay $20 tax. Will let you guys know how it goes.

Newegg is usually fine, though they do like to re-sell returned items from time to time (especially for exchange replacements), and their return policy blows (they force you to pay shipping - about $12 - and won't ship you a new item until they receive and process the old one, which takes about a week). The one I got in the $250 sale was perfect, but the screen got borked during a screen protector installation, and the replacement seems to have faulty power/volume buttons.
Just returned the Best Buy one. That was $329 plus tax. Just ordered newegg with 3 day shipping, no tax to GA only $283.99 total.
I ordered mine yesterday as well for $283.99. As with all stores and sites, there will be some bad experiences. After reading all the positive reviews I opted to go with newegg. I paid via paypal in case there is some big problem and it's easier to dispute through them than my bank. Hopefully will get home from work on Fri. to have it waiting on me.

Was waiting for a deal on this tablet and it seems new egg has it on sale.I was waiting for a good deal. How good is new egg for good products ? Was hearing some pretty scary stuff about them such as used devices being sold as new and such. What has you guys experience been like using them. Should I jump the gun and go ahead ?

Back between Thanksgiving and Christmas I had Best Buy price match New Egg twice via phone. At that time they were running a post purchase guarantee but currently they (BB) only post match with themselves. The low price guarentee page on their site shows the policy. Scroll to the bottom to watch for special price match offers like I was able to get... twice.
Good luck!

He can get a refund... that's probably what I'm going to do.
I bought my MOTO X in December. Will them give me a refund?

If you are outside your return period, I don't think they will do anything. May be they will give you a coupon code for accessories if you call.

How long is return period? One month or three? When I buy things at Target, it's three months.

Lol.. It's not 3 months. It's either 15 or 30 days.

I just bought mine today . I already had to cancel the order and then re-order it the next day because Motorola screwed something up . They gave me a free case and $50 off to make up for it.
If I have to cancel and order this phone for a third efffing time just to save the other $50 I'm going to be super pissed.
Nice! Its on my birthday and I been debating on nexus 5 or motox and since the motox is now cheaper this is my own birthday present! Not sure if it would also work on that 50 off discount someone posted awhile ago hmmm...

For the "limited time" Cyber Monday and Wednesday offer, Moto was NOT refunding the difference if you purchased your X "recently", even if it was during the return period.
There was a thread here on XDA where multiple users posted that when they contacted Moto about a price adjustment due to having recently purchased the X, they were instructed they would have to do a return/repurchase type thing... (Or just purchase one at the "limited promo price" and return the originally purchased one due to how long the RMA and credit process takes).
Since Motorola Mobility also replied in the comments to that post "It will be promo codes like the holiday sale. You will need to register on Motorola.com and the code will be emailed to you." I expect this will be the same.
$350 for a developer edition is very tempting.
Damn, Motorola isn't playing nicely. Just shows how they jacked up the release price. The $599 phone can be had for $299 now. Shameless Motorola, no respect for early adopters.

I assumed this was for the regular version only. If the dev edition gets $100 off though, that'd be nice, but it won't be $300.
The phone is 5 months old. Do you expect the price to stay the same forever?

Yes until the new X is released.

Forgot the dev edition was 32gb only, so $350. But it is included: https://twitter.com/Motorola/status/426869667290820608
So I'm gonna be in the market for a new phone in a few weeks. I'm gonna miss this price drop. But would you say the moto x is still a viable option. I'm torn between this and the n5. But I like this phones feature better and I do lots of driving and I don't want always have to touch my phone while driving. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Lets use this thread to post when your Note 4 gets shipped. I pre ordered mine with Verizon online on 9/19 and according to the invoice I got it is supposed to ship by Oct 23.
Im hoping its before that!
Mine said two days before the 23rd of October

If the in store date is the 23d that seems reasonable.
Best Buy is going to have it on the 17th and you get the $200 instant gift card when you pick it up. Win-win. Get it before Verizon store and get the $200 right then without waiting on check from Samsung.
Mine also said the 23rd. But I can't see BB releasing on the 17 th and verizon not doing the same thing.
We all know Big V would rather ship early then change the date and end up being late.

Sorry if there was a misunderstanding on my part, but this is after trading in a working smartphone. This is the order I was told I should do it:
1. Preorder(get's you a $50 giftcard as well) the Note 4 within the specific time range(9/19/14-10/16/14)
2. On release day, bring in your trade-in and go through the process of getting the gift card for it.
3. Use both giftcards to buy the Note 4(of course you pay the difference if there's anything left over which there should be)

Since mine was ordered at Verizon, I had to spend $50 on a droid razr on Swappa, which is worth $15 trade in, so I will net $150, not ideal, but gets me half off.

I preordered mine on Monday from Verizon and they said I should have it by the 23rd.
But...
... will it blend?
Damn it, I want to post on a dev thread. This 10 post thing is stupid. I'm an OSS dev already and this hoop jumping is nuts.
mine says still processing on the verizon site. Is everyone else seeing the same thing?
Well, I finally succumbed to the pressure... Preordered mine via the Verizon's website... Now all the obsessed clicks and refreshes of these forums shall commence lol.
