As long as we are all twiddling our thumbs waiting for this phone to come out or at least be reviewed, I thought I'd create a highly non-scientific poll about which of the four color options people prefer.
I'm voting for Stellar Grey with the matte back. I hate glossy backs. And don't get me started on the fugliness of white phones. (I said this was unscientific!)
I have not liked the matte finish on other phones so i doubt i would on this one. Additionally is the matte one even ceramic ? The ceramic that supposedly feels something between metal and glass is a highlight of the phone.

The matte one is ceramic. Andy Rubin talks about it in his interview witih Wall Mossberg, when he first unveiled the phone.
I just don't like shiny backs. The get all greasy and have fingerprints all over them. It's enough hassle dealing with that on the screen. I don't get why the shiny glass back is so popular now. To me it seems cheap, not fancy. Even HTC has ruined their great flagship phones with a glass back (on the U11)--which also turned the U11 into one of the most bendable and breakable phones, after the 10 being one of the toughest. I just hope the ceramic back is as tough as Essential claims. There are a lot of shattered glass backs out there. I'd had to see the ceramic back fall prey to that problem.
Anyway, it's interesting that Ocean Depths is so popular. It's different, but I don't really get why people like it so much. It's also hard to tell from the Essential website what it's really going to look like. I think it may end up being a lot more green, especially in daylight, than it appears on the website. But it could be cool, especially if it had a matte back.
I like the green of the Ocean Depths colour, and the copper ring around the fingerprint scanner is fine too. I worry that the copper-coloured sides might be too much for me, but really it's the transition from the copper sides to the black front that has the potential to look awkward to my mind.
Hence until I'd seen it from a number of angles I'd personally play safe with the Darth Vader black.

Yeah, the copper could either be cool or a bit gaudy.
My favorite is black.

Green all the way, it's different, that's my only reason. If it ends up being too gaudy no big, I'll be on to the next thing soon enough anyways.

Ocean Depths definitely seems to be generating the most interest, here and elsewhere.
Even though this poll is totally unscientific, it's interesting that the two colors that get the most interest are the two colors they are not releasing to begin with. Maybe the gadget nerds and early adopters don't reflect the tastes of the more general public and black and white are just the safe mainstream bets. On the other hand, who other than the gadget nerds and early adopters are going to buy a new phone, as soon as it's released, from an untested new company?
I would have surely gone for other color besides black if there was blue and red and all that. But this green although caught my interest in first impression it faded away soon after.
I'd be all over a bleu if they had it. For now I'm going with the black.
Holding up for the gray one. If it not priced like the black and white today, I'll keep my options open to other phones.
I just wonder how long it will take to release gray and ocean after black and white?

Do you black/graphite owners wish you had the white Hero and vice versa?
I kind of wish Orange did the white version, I think they look better, even if they are less practical and hard-wearing. Anyone wanna swap? Haha.
I think the white looks fantastic. Black is kinda old school IMO (how many black gadgets have you had?) but it's entirely subjective.
White for sure! I had real reservations when I ordered the white Hero, after years of black HTC devices.... but I love it. It's s refreshing change
White
Is there another color besides white?
Kidding...WHITE is the color!
I have less than zero desire for a white device!
Regards,
Dave
I've had the white and was forever making sure it was clean!! Not putting it in leather cases as the leather marks the white, giving it a rub after using/pulling out of pocket. This is a phone! I took more care of it than my girlfriend!
Had to sell it as when it did get dirty it looked old and tatty, so went and got a black one which to me looks sleek and cool.
Can't remember how many times I got called a fairy for having a white phone?!?
White! Ive had no probs with dirt on it. And yesterday I putted it in a clear gel case, so no problems
i love the graphite one!!!! the white one is cool, too, but i prefer the graphite
I had the graphite first off then I returned it and got the white one and I can say I definetly prefer white. Generally in my experience others also prefer it. It does get dirty easily and quite often but I still wouldn't swap with black or graphite.
I have a white Hero , simply love it. I had the opportunity to swap it for a black one when i had led problems but in my opinion, the black colour and the white trackball don't match well.
Graphite all the way, pukka it is toooo
Black one all the way! That said I havent seen any other colours in the flesh
white?
Hi to all
I will definitelly buy a Hero in comming days, but i am quite torn apart about the color.
I definitelly like white more than black, but all some of your experiences are really scary. I want to take care of the phone of course, but taking care of the colorations/smudges every day (?) is too much to it. I want to play with software, not hardware
What about you, hero white owners, is it really so bad?
One day I noticed my white one had picked up some grease and ink smudges on the back. (I work in a greasy, inky environment!) I figured I'd have to clean it with Cif or something. The next day I went to do so and as I pulled it out my pocket, I noticed all the dirt was gone!
I think the Teflon makes it that bit easier for dirt to just rub off onto fabric. Plus it feels and looks great.
The aesthetics really are personal though, of course.

You were planning to clean with cif????????
I guess you're joking right? cause these chemicals might peel off the teflon layer. Especially something like cif.
A homopolymer like Teflon wont have any problem with nonionic surfactants. The Teflon is bonded well too so any harsh solutes should have little effect. I've known people to use Cif cream on the Hero with good effect.
If you do have your doubts though, don't take my word for it
is the graphite the same loike the brown one? i got the brown and love it

Have you ever used Cif before? It cleans almost anything and its not going to take off a bonded layer such as Teflon. You can use it on tiles, worktops or anything, but it doesn't take the waterproofing off.
A light amount of cif on kitchen roll and wipe the casing worked fine on my white one. I had a curry stain on it, yes! curry!!! The strength of the curry was more likely to take off the coating than the Cif!
Teflon has some applications in chemistry due to it's resilience to corrosion. It completely resists the corrosive effect of hydroflouric acid, which even dissolves glass. Cif is no match for Teflon.
Also, "PTFE's resistance to van der Waals forces means that it is the only known surface to which a gecko cannot stick". This is very reassuring for people who have phobias of lizards.

of course i've used cif. who hasnt?
well i was shocked because last week i cleaned my phone with alcohol and i immediately noticed that the metal grey rim around the screen and the hardware buttons got white patches. Some sort of chemical reaction with the alcohol , i dont know.
I also thought cif might remove the htc logo on the back and the label autofocus 5.0 mp bla bla bla ...
Anyway, good to know it worked out . i guess i know what to do next time i have stains on it.
Why has there not been a single decent case out for this phone? The protective cases are ugly, the fancy cases don't protect, the legit cases break... This is the gosh darn Google Nexus 4! Are people serious? I happen to be the owner of the White 16gb, and I'm starting to wish I didn't buy this phone because of the fact I can't protect it in any decent way. I'm scared for it whenever I go places with it, my screen already has 2 small scratches. You know that feeling you get when you want to punch an inanimate object in the face and your head just explodes trying to calm down about it? Yeah that happened, It's called discontinued for a reason. Is a nice white bumper so hard to ask for? Sure there's the poetic borderline, in great colors...other than white, or the Ringke Fusion, only available in black. Do they not realize the sought after white look on the Nexus 4 -or any phone for that matter- is very prominent in the community? One that doesn't break, or have some lame chinsy stand on the back of it? How about one that doesn't look like you bought it in a twelve pack at the flea market that you have to scrape the molded excess edge off with a razor blade.
Okay, gripe session over.
Seriously! I'd pay 50 bucks to the next guy who can make a Ringke Fusion in white!
People who own this phone either got lucky on an upgrade, or know their stuff. Where is our golden case? Where is our holy grail?
It's one of those moments where I wish I got into engineering and design so I could make a better version myself.
But wait, who is "they"? It's nobody, and this is just a cellular device, that will have a big brother or sister coming out in time. I look at it as part of history. This is the White Google Nexus 4, discontinued and rare, and I want a nice case for it.
With that being said...Can anybody recommend a decent white case for me? I've read, I've researched, I've bought, I've tried, and I'm bored. I stuck with my Google White Nexus Bumper, and will continue to until a nice case comes out. I'm not here to say I have all the qualifications to complain this much about something I quite frankly am not doing much to try and change. But is there anybody out there who owns the White Nexus 4, and feels this same way?
Furthermore, I sincerely hope Google creates a veteran program in the future with nifty benefits for the OG Nexus 4 Owners...just sayin =)

Go to select colour and choose white. There are a couple more around the web if you research correctly, these are the first few that managed to pop in my head. And a white fusion, sounds good but not happening. White cases are usually rare to find, especially a good one regardless of phone but yes the Nexus 4 doesn't have much accessories compared to the mainstream phones. White cases tend to look amazing but get dirty quick. As for scratches on your [email protected] Protectors.

I would not recommend this case. Picked it up for my white Nexus 4 and it discolored/yellowed pretty quickly... ended up tossing it in the trash. White cases for the N4 are definitely harder to find - really wish there was a Ringke Fusion in white... I may just pick up the Ringke Slim in white though.
Alright thanks everyone, I was hoping somebody would mention that white tpu with the clear back, I heard that it scratches up pretty easy and looks like poop after a while. Looks like I'm with the LG bumper for a little while :\ For anybody that's interested, I'm working on a modification to the silver plastic ring around the stock bumper, My plan to dremel away the part that drops down around the usb port, and glue the corners before the drop so that the part that stretches is the rubber around the port as opposed to...well now it's cracked ... the silver plastic, which is why it cracked in the first place. Will post with pics eventually if anybody is interested in seeing how it looks, it's a minor detail, but the cracked pieces keep getting stuck in my pocket when I take it out.
My white Nexus is paired with a Poetic Atmosphere case. The translucent body goes well with the whites and the grey silicon sort of merges with the blacks on the screen edges.
Pair it with a gadget shield full body guard and you have a winner. At least I do...

A lot of people have got their new wood back Moto X's now so I thought I'd start a thread for discussion specific to that. I've seen both love and hate for them.
Personally, I was very disappointed by my Walnut back. I knew the backs were finished to look like their specific wood choice, but I was still expecting real wood with real grains. Unfortunately, it appears the real wood is just covered by a fake printed wood grain design much like the wood paneling and finishes of furniture and other electronics. It has a very unnatural, papery feel as well. Overall very disappointing, especially when a cheap skin can accomplish the same thing.
Quality control also seems to be lacking. My back was perfectly smooth but there are a number or reports of people with bumps, dents, and scratches. Great example here which looks like a bad application of the wood laminate (or whatever it is they're using for the surface grain).
I'm not trying to turn people away from getting the wood backs (it's still a great look) but I do want people to know what they're actually getting. I've exchanged mine for bamboo back, which is true bamboo and not a finish, but also ordered a DE with a second code I had just in case (will return one of them).
I had bamboo but due to some charging issue returned mine for walnut, I much prefer the black trim than white. I plan to get a real wood back by Toast and stick it on, but it depends on how much I like the pattern of mine walnut back when I received it, if it look nice enough I can just stick a wet apply screen protector on it and be done with.
Bamboo is the nicest I think and I would have stuck with it if isn't for the white trim. Also with bamboo if you pay attention to the edges, they are darker because it's where the cover is being glued to the phone, so it take away the look a little. I also feel the bamboo back being quit thin so I'm not sure how the walnut/ebony back will be.
Overall I much prefer fully black phone. I have a strong dislike of iPhones, so that may be one reason why I can't stand white phones.

My ebony back had me bummed as soon as I opened the box. First, it had a white or greyish speck right in the middle of the back. It was not a scratch or dent. It had no depression of any kind; it was just not wood color. Second there was some marring around the flash and in the upper corners.
I knew it wasn't real ebony, but I at least expected something along the lines of laminate flooring or a cheap guitar. I agree with your assessment that it looks and feels like paper. Even without my unit's specific flaws, I am surprised that anyone would find this to be a good thing. Perhaps it is my experience of years ago working with veneer and cabinetry, but after seeing it I didn't even bother to turn it on.
I have to agree with this post honestly. I had ordered a "regular" back Moto X right before Christmas eve and was very happy with it! Then, when the rest of the wood backs came out on January 21, I was within my "return period" so I opted to order a Moto X with ebony back and then was going to return my original Moto X.
I got the ebony one like 3 days after placing the order and was seriously not too impressed. I think, I too, was expecting something different from what I received. I think the OP explained it best that it has a very paper feeling. It honestly felt like an "insert" and just didn't feel as nice as the regular back. Plus, I am VERY anal about keeping my things looking nice for the long-haul. I felt like the wood back just wouldn't old up over time, mostly with like palm sweat I was worried would eventually distort the look of the wood. Thankfully there were no dents or other oddities like the image I posted, it just wasn't what I was expecting it to be. I think I would've preferred it better if it was like a laminate or something like that. I ended up returning it in favor of keeping the original Moto X I bought.

I like my bamboo back but I do agree that being forced to have the white trim is a let down. Also I noticed the darkening around the edges and glue makes sense. I have a black front and I'm getting a black bumper case to cover the white trim and have a slight level of protection.
I absolutely love my walnut back. It's smooth and feels perfect.
I ordered walnut and dont know if im going to like it or not.

Hate how smooth the wood back is. Got the ebony and it looks gorgeous, but the feel just isn't there for me. I also don't really care for the edges that are made of metal and are sharp. The plastic backs are much more comfortable and don't make me nervous about dropping it.
Maybe I am just picky.

I have a walnut back and the edges are plastic.
I've returned 1 Ebony backed Moto X because of an imperfection in the finish that was applied. It looks like the back was smudged or something before the finish was dry. I've ordered another one because aside from that, I didn't have any problems with the look and feel. It's an actual wood back so I feel like scratches and things of those nature will give it character! I could be fooling myself though.
Related to the Toast models, I just applied one to my gf's Moto X (bamboo) on Friday night and she really likes it. The white backing was definitely picking up a ton of dirt and scratches so it was very much needed. It actually surprised me that the backing doesn't add much to the dimensions of the phone. From what I can tell, it's actually pretty transparent feel wise with the edges.
I just received my Ebony today, and I'm in love with it. (Admittedly, it's the first new phone I've had since my HTC Inspire 3 years ago!) So anything at this point will feel amazing lol. I also haven't handled the regular version moto x. The ebony back is kind of papery as some have said, but I like the way it feels compared to my old aluminum/metal HTC Inspire. No imperfections in the finish at all. Very happy with it. My one and only gripe, is with sweaty hands, it can get a little slippery, but the device is so small i can almost wrap my one hand around the entire thing lol
I got my bamboo moto yesterday. Overall it feels simply amazing in the hand,it's just as ergonomic as the plastic and woven backs. The only worries I had were that it had some weird like damage to it, but after seeing others' bamboo moto,it's apparently a feature or unique look to the bamboo back. As others are saying, there is a dark border around the edges but you'll grow on it or learn to ignore it it isn't that big a deal. The only worries I have with the wood back are my very, very oily and sometimes sweaty hands as I'm at afraid I'll ruin the back. Overall, the bamboo is my favorite aesthetically and ergonomically. I recommend it over the sandy feeling Ebony or Walnut.

The teak backs look awesome in person
i just received my bamboo today. i like it a lot but im a little disappointed that the wood doesnt come up flush with the white around it. theres a lip aroound it instead. its definitely real wood. i think they applied some kind of layer to protect it. remember the moto x does come with a nano coating to make it water resistant. so this might be whats applied to the wood also. overall im pleased since bamboo is really a plant rather than a tree so the layers are naturally thin.
My Walnut is perfect.
Got my bamboo on Friday and might send it back. It too has about 10-12 bumps on it also. Most are towards the bottom half of the device.
Its going to go back, I'm not happy with it. Will see if they can work out getting the extra $30 off again this time round...I still have a mesh black one that was also going to go back, but will have to hold onto it until the new one arrives.
Hi guys, Initially i had actually opted for the z3 compact and told myself the full size z3 was just too big and although i do feel its a tad bit bigger then i would like. Iam now telling myself i would be ok with it as the screen allegedly is awesome and iam all for bigger screens ,its just a shame the whole device has to get bigger too lol
Anyways iam now contemplating on the copper or white version? Which are you guys going for? I like the copper,its different but it also looks kinda pink-ish so iam thinking maybe i should stick with the white!
Thoughts?
Black for me. I didnt get a chance to look at the new colors for Z3 in person

The black gives you that no-nonsense look..
I do agree that if the green or copper is darker, I would have opted for those as well
green and copper are awesome colors.
I like them both and thought about choosing one of them. Still I opted for black, because the risk of getting fed up with a color after a while is non existant for black
I like all the colors
silver green is really good but I can't find it and I get no chance to look at "live"
I bought mine today :0 I went for copper, They only had copper or black and the copper looked far nicer to me! It has a sort of pinkish bronze look to my eyes which prob doesnt sound very appealing but its nice! I wouldnt say beautiful but its different . For some reason i love it on the sides but am a bit meh about it on the back! Over all iam happy with the color although would have loved to of seen it in white!
I went ahead and got mine in White, had to carry the tradition over from my previous Xperia phones. Quite an upgrade from the SP though.

Good choice Iam already finding that the screen on this LOVES finger prints although i guess ye always notice these things when ye first get a phone! The display is crisp and finger prints arent noticeable once the display is on but because the glass covers the bezels ye can see them on the bezels which is sorta annoying but i can live with it ! I would imagine with the white version they would be less visible

I could only imagine all the fingerprints and scratches on the rear of the black. If T-Mobile doesn't offer white or copper I'm not buying.
I like both Copper and Silver Green but only Copper available for Z3 Dual so I ordered this color.
You can always get a transparent case for the phone so smudges won't be so prominent at the back.. but the screen, tough.. I hope I find a good screen protector that minimises smudges.

Can you guys post a picture of your copper, whites? Just curious how it looks in normal lighting conditions.
I'm also between copper and white. I think black looks nice too and gives that dark-knight feeling, but it's just too monotone for me.

Here's mine in white, used my old SP running on CM11 to take the pictures with flash... Sorry if it gives any of you the wrong perspective, but I think the flash helps bring the fingerprints out a little more visible:

You barely can see any fingerprints with the white variant of the device, but the screen is another story lol. Besides, we have a fully waterproof device, we can wash/clean it at anytime
I had the black one and it was great looking. Didn't hae too many problems with fingerprints....whenever I put it in my pocket and pulled it out to use again, fingerprints were pretty much gone. My wife liked it so much she stole it. Then I got the copper one. I really like the brushed copper on the sides but like someone else mentioned, the shiny copper back I could take or leave. Would've been absolutely sweet if the whole thing was a brushed copper aluminum. Either way, I think the black and copper are both equally appealing to me..
Between aluminum, graphite and frost. Which color do you like best?
It seems frost is 64gb+ only. Most look like they are going with graphite and aluminum. I think I will go with frost since it will probably be the least common.
Graphite, hides the camera strip might have gone white otherwise.
Graphite, for the same reason above.
I chose the Graphite version as well but after seeing some hands on photos, I'm not so sure anymore...

Got the graphite to hide the camera strip. I'm liking the aluminum though.
Aluminium all the way, Yeah it's a different looking phone but I say OWN IT! EMBRACE THE BENDER WITHIN!

I went with the graphite too. It hides that camera strip and I've had too many white phones.

Anyone know why the 6P frost doesn't come in 32GB like the graphite and aluminum?
Also after seeing the hands on photos and videos....the 6P colors look like a bad metallic paint job as opposed to a smooth satiny finish.....with the exception of the frost white. For that reason alone i may get the frost.....they all look better on the google store.
Idunno...maybe I have to see them in person first. If anyone get it and lives in philly....I'll take you out for drinks just to see the phone in person
Went with Aluminum because I figured I'll have a case anyways and it will hide the strip. I don't hate the strip, but I wished they colored it similar color as the body. If they did, it would look the same way it looks on Graphite.
Aluminium! Wanted some to different from my past black devices. It should stand out in a crowd....
I preordered the graphite, but after seeing the videos, I may change to the aluminum. I like the silvery shimmer. Makes it look a little more premium to me.

Graphite, hides the camera strip might have gone white otherwise.

I'd have to agree with this.
They all look good though IMO. I just liked Graphite a tad bit more.
I still can't decide. I've got an order for the graphite and frost (incase they sold out although they're still available in the uk) but after seeing more hands on pictures I'm starting to like the aluminium.
They just all look good in their own way. Normally picking a color isn't difficult for me as there is ALWAYS a stand out color. But there isn't on the 6P, they all look awesome.
I went with aluminum although I really like graphite I am always worried about the finish on metal devices scratching off. I also feel the the aluminium really shows off the device better.

Well I broke down, and went with the Frost instead. I just like how it shows off the metal trim. At least the front is black, I'm just not of fan of the white fronts on white phones.

I ordered aluminum...seemed cool looking. If I don't like it...ebay here it comes.
I went with aluminum because I had too many phones that were dark. As far as the camera strip, I'll see how it is in person.
If anything, I'll just get a dbrand and cover up the camera strip with a white skin or something of that sort.

Oh man, I was thinking graphite at first, and am now torn between aluminum and frost after seeing some hands on videos. I wish there were some hands on for the other colors.

Stick with your initial choice. I went with graphite, then frost, now back to graphite again. Hopefully my mind doesn't change tomorrow. It's hard to choose when all videos and pics show off the silver and white models, I can't get a good look at the graphite.
