So I'm jealous of the feel of the black backplate. From what I've read the OEM branded ones in white tend not to be as nice feeling.
Anyone willing to trade their uber black backplate for my non-uber white? Or does anyone have experience with aftermarket backplates that are of passable quality?
I think you from the bottom of my heart =]
You can get a back cover from Verizon for like ten bucks. I have a white version and don't mind it. But then again a white front and black back would drive me crazy.

This post may come off to you as silly, but still how come not a single reviewer would mention it or even a regular user? There is no such thing as a white nexus 6, that thing is GREY, light grey yes but no well in hell is the back cover of the nexus 6 white, even the cover of the " white nexus 9" is just grey, don't get me wrong I love how it looks, but I hate being lied to, what's up with your wrong branding of colors google? First the red nexus 5 , which is ORANGE and now the nexus 6 ? Sorry I had to let it all out
Sounds like someone needs to color calibrate their monitor?
Go to the paint section of your local hardware store, there are many shades of white. This device is well within that range
Yes, I believe the actual title is "cloud white". Not "white" so...
Color blind much??
I've had the Midnight Blue and now have the Cloud White. The color of the back is an off white and similar to 'eggshell' and its certainly not gray. I don't have my Nexus 9 anymore or I would post a side by side of the two white backs. I don't use the factory back anyway so it doesn't matter. The frame is silver and it goes well with my black leather back.

The difference b/t gray and white is on the gray scale and differentiating grays isn't affected by color blindness in humans.
Heck even people with achromatopsia can distinguish shades of grey from white.

I have a black one, a brown one and a football leather one. Another member was kind enough to link the OP above. The white Nexus is still white unless I'm blind. I recommend seeing one person if you can because it will clear things up instantly.
Edit: he linked the website to buy it from. I've posted the link to the OP below where you can see pictures of it. Keep in mind you have to remove the factory back to make it flush with the frame.

Exactly.
Since every sane person is going to put on a protective cover that will obscure the back of the phone.... who the heck really cares? Mine's gray/blue, but the ballistic maxx cover makes it BLACK.
Wait...what?

You have a black leather back? Like an actual leather replacement for the OEM back cover, or just a vinyl skin that looks like leather or some other kind of adhered leather product or what? I have been wanting a real leather or wood replacement for my OEM back. It's the only think that has kept me from ordering the middle chassis conversion kit from Ebay. I want the silver frame, but not too keen on the white back. I want real wood or leather like the Moto X.
I'm sorry but there is no white Nexus 6, there is a GREY nexus 6

Correct. Actual leather, however there is no plastic under it so you need to do a few small things for it to look right on the phone. I'll post a picture of my phone with the Black leather and one with the brown leather.
I aged my brown one for a better look
That brown looks so good. I would love to have that look but maintain the nexus logo and the dimple but not so worried about the moto logo.
When you say there is no plastic behind the leather, what have you done to protect the device from impacts and such to the back panel?

There is a subframe under the plastic back so the leather sits on top of that and its perfectly stable. Look st the OP I linked earlier for pictures of the install. There are quite a few people who have done this without any issues. I always have my phone in a case anyway but the back is just as durable as the factory one in my opinion.
I'm curious to see what back most people went with. I know many carriers have exclusives and few options, but LG also sells them separately now.
I have the black leather on my Verizon G4.
I went with gray plastic on T-Mobile but I really want the gold plastic.

Tan leather, have blue and orange leather on order and want a ceramic white.

Understood but if you use a case then what kind of back isn't important.
Tan leather. I'd like a ceramic white to swap here and there.
Is it me or does the tan/brown leather and orange leather look the same?

Black leather.
White leather
I had the black leather from Verizon and just exchanged it for the metallic grey because no case was compatible with leather.
I just got my G4 at a LG event and 90+ % of the attendees went to the black leather instead of metallic black (only two options given)
Had brown leather that got returned, then got metalic grey. I wanted gold but T-Mobile don't sell it.

I got the T-Mobile exclusive whale bone with scrimshaw back. But, i just read on the T-mobile site that they've stopped offering it.
Honestly don't know why people would bother with the leather backs as any smart person would be putting a case on it..
So I just got my 64gb aluminium, that I ordered since my graphite 32gb is in processing purgatory.
The build was looking awesome, I barely noticed any pink (slight up top but it wasn't enough to make me want to return. That is until.... I found this "issue" a dark blue/green/gray will show as you see towards the left of the screen what appears to be uneven glue or something... not sure? It leaves a weird texture pattern and I know gray points aren't always uniform as I own IPS monitors. Checked a note 4 and it does not exist as an issue there. Return, wait for my 32gb graphite or....?
