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.

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?

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..

there's a purple silicone in the Sprint stores now...and then there's the OtterBox there too.
how about a TPU case. something like THIS for instance. I've never used a TPU case, so i cant really vouch for their quality. But it seems that everyone loves em.
Well, the Phantom black legend has started to be sold and it's more likely than not that sooner or later ebay will start stocking aluminium black shells for our beloved phone.
Who's going to be making the switch?
+1 here, I can't wait
and how are you going to change the shell?
disassemble it yourself?
yeah, i'll give it a go
Meh, I'll be sticking with the slick looking stock silver.

Scratch
So you think that thin layer of black anodizing or paint is going to last..more than a day? It BEAUTIFUL, but for an "everyday-use" device like a phone, I will NEVER buy it in another color than silver. Scratch a silver device, it looks silver. Scratch a black device, it looks like a black device with silver scratches.....annoying enough with silver scratches on a silver device!
Anyone know where to buy alluminium body for HTC Legend (Silver or Black)?
I dropped my Legend, and it's got a dent in the edge of the casing.

Skinomi is a little bit thicker, so has more chance of orange peel and had a little bit of drag on my finger swipes. (Nit picking, it is slight)
I found skinomi to be better than zagg, although I've had a few skinomis that had a speckled glitter effect due to an uneven adhesive.
In my opinion, BSE is the best of all these wet skins.

I think they have a good warranty... And they are much better at marketing.
I picked up the Skinomi one. Wish it could get her when my nexus does.
I got one from Skinomi as well. Price got me but they all seem to be the same for me. Maybe I'll see, I'm used to third grade protectors from china lol.
I've had a Skinomi protector on my Sensation 4G for awhile. No peeling, I usually forget its there... don't throw your phone in your pocket with your keys. Turns out the Nexus 4 Skinomi product was already on my wishlist! lol
I have a Skinomi on my T-Mo Galaxy S2 and it is really nice. I have heard good things about Best Skins Ever so I might give them a try when I get my Nexus 4.

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.
Are they actually worth it? How does the kevlar one feel, does it feel just like plastic? What about the wood ones, I was thinking about getting the black apricot one but was thinking how it feels, are they textured and do they feel nice? Thanks
Edit: Just saw a little disclaimer saying that it increases the width a bit and so cases may not fit, is this actually true or they just saying it to make sure?
I had the bamboo cover, it was very slippery. Especially switching from the sandstone one. And yes with the bamboo cover I could not fit it into a third party flip cover. So I ended up selling it already.
I have all of them and i love the kevlar one its almost like a soft touch rubber feel but hard i really recommend it, and yes they do increase the depth of the phone but some cases fit most dont though but then again why buy a case to cover the beauty of the back plate?!
Kevlar best? How is the black apricot one, could it be recommended over the sandstone one. Also think theres a case that just covers the edge of the phone, leaving the back to touch
