so both me and my brother have gotten new 2014 Moto X's from asurion as replacements for our OG ones. Asurion says the first gen moto x has been discontinued. You can also get your custom one replaced if you have them transfer you to the in store replacement/corporate services department. these guys are the only ones that can order brand new custom moto x's from motorola. you heard right, not a refurb, a new phone made to order. they use the moto maker site.
i was able to grab a new leather version and my brother got a wood version. $100 deductible and a brand new upgrade

Like a brand new 2013 moto x, or just a 2014 one?

the new gen 2 moto x. the bigger better one.
How did you go about making this happen? My 2013 is starting to crop up some issues, so if I can get a replacement (upgrade), I'd love to.
well if you have asurion as your insurance then it's easy. fist you gotta "lose" or "break" your phone. then call asurion on the phone, start a claim and they should inform you that your device is no longer made and that you will be getting a gen 2 moto x in black or white. if you had a custom moto x from last year, then there is an extra step you need to do to get a custom one. request to speak to the in store replacement/ corporate services department. this step is a pain because the people on the front line have little knowledge, but just get them to transfer you to them and they are much more helpful.
I predict a high insurance fraud activity level coming. ?
definitely not encouraging fraud. i've never used my insurance in 6 years.

Your wording here is contradictory.
I'm not a fan of doing things the wrong way. I hope that people don't commit insurance fraud over this. The main takeaway that people should get from your posts is that, should their custom Moto X need replacement via insurance, the customer should ask to be redirected to a specific line to get a Moto Maker replacement as opposed to just a black or white model.
Good thing I'm not wasting money on insurance, I'd be mad if they sent me a 2014 Moto X.

Having owned the 2013 moto x since November of last year and just buying the 2014 X, I'd rather keep my 2013 over the new one. So tomorrow I'm returning the new one.

I've been wresting with upgrading to a larger phone and played with a new moto X in a Verizon store but it's hard to get a good feel with that security thing stuck on the back, and I felt the dimple was weird compared to the original

It was the same thing for me, I ended up pulling the trigger and got the phone. But I don't like the larger foot print off the device.

I'm loving the new one. It has a gorgeous screen, I still like the size of the old one but honestly the 2013 model is getting sluggish. The new one is the fastest phone I've ever used, its incredible
oh this is great, i just cracked my screen 2 days ago at work. I just got off the phone with them and they said i was getting the 2nd Gen Moto X. I was very surprised when the lady told me that. She asked for the colors my current Moto x(2013) was and she just replicated it to the new one. I don't mind a newer model, just hope the larger size doesn't turn me away.

I believe so. I got transferred once because it was the motomaker X and not the black or white one. The told me that they discontinued the OG and were giving me the 2 gen instead.
Only thing that i didn't like is that the Asurion people gave me a order # , but motorola cannot connect it to my gmail account. so to get the tracking info, I have to do a chat or call them. Asurion told me it would be delivered Nov. 2nd and motorola is telling me 2-4 weeks...
Edit: okay so i was jsut on the phone with motorola to see if i could get a tracking # just because. they were not allowed to provide me with any information because Asurion is the one who purchases the phone and send it to you. The said they had my Name for the order and my address correct and that the phone would be sent to ME, but they could not provide me with anything other than that. No time frame other than "Before 4 weeks" and he couldnt tell em anything else becasue Asurion is the billing address/name just and FYI

So I'm sure there are some people out there that ordered a device and when the said device got in their hands it wasn't what they expected.
Mine was a White front, navy back and silver accents. I'm not too sure how I feel about the white front. I have mixed feelings about it so I decided to chat in with the Moto X support people to inquire about the exchange process. I told them I wasn't happy with the colors and would like to exchange it. They told me there were two options available.
1. The would take my CC info and put a hold on it for the full retail price of the phone, they would email me a code to design another and a return label and said once I get the new device send them back the old device and the hold on my card would be removed. When chatting in with him he said he would need someone to call me back within the next 24-48 hours.
Today no phone call but all of a sudden my inbox lit up with 3 emails. One with a code to customize and order my new device, one with my RMA info and one with the FED EX return label. I couldn't believe how easy the process was. I's very much like how they do things with devices from the play store. I was so thankful I didn't have to deal with AT&T on the exchange because I've had bad experiences with that and them in the past.
2. The traditional RMA route. They send you a label, you send your device, they get it an then send you the code to make your new one.
besides my experiences with the play store, this was a very easy, non frustrating and very quick process.
Also if you're like me and are kind of on the fence about the color you picked, (don't hate it but just not sure) you can then have two side by side and compare before you send yours back if you go with option 1 above

My bet would be they will either have a mass sales of the crappy colors later or the back and trim is easy enough to remove that they just change them out make it black or white and send it to a carrier as a refurb.

I've ordered via phone and I'm getting the black one. I never thought I'd customize it because plain black had always been my choice.

Yep, just found that out myself too actually. I had to get a in store one because I'm on day 11 of my 14 day return period with Verizon. However, I do like the white woven back on white front. Im sure sometime soon we will be able to reassemble the back and buttons on our own.

Oh God, I hope this happens. I'm on Verizon, and wanted Moto Maker so much. But I really had to get a new phone because even after replacing the battery of my Droid X, the battery got bloated and overly hot. Yeah, it was possible to buy another replacement battery, but it was time to get a new phone anyways.
So if I'm reading OP correctly, it's not going to be an option yet, or even when Verizon gets Moto Maker, but Motorola may make it possible in the near future?

By purchasing the item, you entered into a contact in which you agreed to what you purchased. They have no obligation to spend extra money on shipping and man hours to give you a free colored back plate. Would it be nice? yes. Will they do it? Doubtful.

but they will try really hard to try and consider looking into it!
I was at a verizon store recently and the agent there (who admittedly may not know what he was talking about) was absolutely convinced that in the near future you would be able to mail in your moto x and have them modify it to get whatever customization you wanted OTHER than changing the memory, and went so far as to claim they would be providing prepaid envelopes to ship the phones in. I didn't even ask about this, he was just explaining how the phone customization will work for people who bought early or in stores.
Just thought I'd mention that here. Hopefully he'll be right.
I thought about buying a Moto X via moto maker at full price then just selling my current one on ebay, but I'd lose like $150 in the end, I'm not wanting to do that
I had a nice unexpected surprise this week.
I've using an unlocked Moto G (16 gig) on AT&T for awhile. Started to have problems with the earpiece. Did an advance exchange for another Moto G. Received the Moto G, but come to find out the replacement was not unlocked.
After 2-3 different calls to try to figure out the situation, I received a call from another person in advance exchange. This is a true story, but he said because of the hassle and amount of calls I had to go through, they were shipping me the 2013 32 gig developer edition. I never asked, requested, or even got upset trying to initial just to get them to ship the correct Moto G. Showed up today brand new sealed in the box.
Anyway, pleasantly surprised and now need to snoop around the forums on case recommendations. They sent the white background/black front.
Congrats. The dev version only come in one color, black front and white back as you state.

Mods: please close the thread as it appears this should not have been posted here.
Same thing happened to us!
I bought a brand new Moto G ( previous edition) for my dad and after a few days the sim card slot somehow got messed up and wasn't reading the card. So we called, it was covered under warranty and we gave our info for advanced exchange. When we received the package in the mail it turned out to be a Moto X Dev edition.. I was shocked and called them to make sure it wasn't a mistake. ( I didn't want them to charge me extra for it) . Turns out it wasn't a mistake but they just decided to be nice? Not sure why exactly.. Maybe they have extra DEs sitting around or something, or they want to clear inventory. Anyways my dad and I are both happy campers and their excellent customer service has made us customers for life!
Moto has great support. They really take care of people.
Seems like a fitting place to me.
I just purchased this same dev edition model and I am eagerly waiting for it to arrive!
My custom moto x had a ring around the front camera get loose. I was eventually told (after I sent Motorola the phone) that they were unable to make me the same phone and upgraded me to the pure edition 2nd gen.
Moto has the best customer service from what I experienced. ( I have own samsung. lg, htc , etc, all went through RMA before).
Last time my Droid Razr Maxx broke and could not read sim (UICC card). they just gave me an MOTO X developer Edition. ( back in April). I call and offer to paid more to get customization. They just offer me a custom moto x unlock/t-mobile for not extra cost at all!
I could not be more happier. And I convinced my friends and family to try Moto X.
HTC is very quick in RMA but since moto offer me an free moto x, I could only vote for them
Moto is a great company. But I'm afraid what the future holds now that lenovo has bought them. I think lenovo already closed the US plant where they made custom motomaker phones and outsourced those jobs overseas.
Not to downplay moto's kindness.... But watching ebay it seems people have been clearing warehouses of dev editions lately.
I would imagine that it being a dev edition, at this point they are just trying to figure out what to do with the remaining units... Regular moto x carriers will take and give out for free/pennies until remaining stock is gone... But I bet demand for the developer units has dried up SIGNIFICANTLY now that its an old model of what was already a nich phone to begin with.
Nice unexpected upgrade though. Nice to see companies taking care of customers rather then just performing the minimum expectations..

I owned a lot of phones before ( yes , I am a phone-junk). Some are good, some have issues. It just happens. For those which have issues and still under warranty, I would have them RMA.
That is why I have experienced RMA from Samsung, HTC, LG , and moto.
Not all my phones went through RMA, only a few. But I do know all major phone maker RMA procedures
This is why I won't be able to switch to another brand in the foreseeable future, Motorola tries to show they care. My first Android device was an Xperia X10, which was damaged not a month after I bought it (a known device issue) but Sony wouldn't hold up their warranty and left me scorned forever at them. Never again Sony. And now, Motorola has restored my faith in any company, I just love my Moto X.
Edited - it is $200 on ebay now:

This was my original post:
Just wanted to give people a head's up - you can get a brand new Verizon Moto X Dev Ed on ebay for $220. Click through ebates, fatwallet or mrrebates and you get another 2% back. Not much cash back, but it is better than nothing.
I don't think these come with a manufacturer's warranty but idk for sure. It's a great price for a great phone!! I actually like the white woven back/black front combo a lot.
Just search for Verizon Moto X on ebay and you will find the listing. N/A. Last night there were only about 500 sold but tonight over 1600 sold! I don't know how many the guy has to sell.
Also check your email for an email from paypal for a $50 statement credit if you sign up for paypal credit. Not everyone gets the offer, but it came around the end of November. If you sign up and then buy the phone on credit, you will get a $50 statement credit! Check your spam folder if have a paypal account and don't see the offer but like I said, not everyone gets the offer.

Just wanted to give people a head's up - you can get a brand new Verizon Moto X Dev Ed on ebay for $220. Click through ebates, fatwallet or mrrebates and you get another 2% back. Not much cash back, but it is better than nothing.
I don't think these come with a manufacturer's warranty but idk for sure. It's a great price for a great phone!! I actually like the white woven back/black front combo a lot.

Do be aware, it seems most of these are from the September 2014 batch that left the factory with incorrect programming (seems the CID is set wrong) and the boot loader unlock site will tell you that the phone cannot be unlocked.
Your going to need to go to this: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/f2061da875?page=1 thread and read the section of the OP in red letters if that is the case. It provides an email address you can email your information to get the unlock code.
Motorola IS unlocking these phones however, and having read through that thread multiple people have inquired about warranty and been told its being honored...
Still a good deal, I have been happy with my phone... but it took about 5 days to get it unlocked and a bit of digging around to figure it all out. Now that Motorola has been dealing with the issue, and you already know about it it should be a lot quicker to get your code. I got in RIGHT after then stopped having you PM oliver on the forum, right before they started trying to figure out how to handle us all.

i had the sept built one. moto sent me an unlock code and now i am all unlocked and rooted! happy buy
If you're on Verizon and are looking for a smaller phone that can be rooted/boatloader unlocked, get this. Root exploits are likely going to be harder to come by after 5.0. With this phone you don't have to worry about root exploits being closed with an OTA.

I received mine today - manufacture date is 9/2014 and I was able to unlock the bootloader in literally 3 minutes!!!
I noticed the guy is now selling them for $250. I will check the warranty status as soon as I activate the device.
Also on Amazon (for cheaper) 199$ + free shipping
didn't see this post until after i purchased this device through amazon here, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QB3ZF00/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
was a little leary until i got the package, brand new, sept 2014 build/manufacture date on UPC sticker... activated no problems. :good:

Nice, thats a better deal than eBay. Plus its Amazon fulfilled so if there are any issues Amazon is much better to deal with than a random eBay seller.

Me too!
I ordered the Moto X Developer Edition that will work with Verizon Wireless on Amazon yesterday. I can hardly wait to get in my hands so I can play with it and get everything from my Samsung Galaxy S3 transferred over to it. Looks like it will be one that I will definitely be very happy with. I've had Motorola cell phones and smartphones in the past and they have never let me down.

It'll be a nice jump up from the S3. I'm back on the 2013 version after trying both the droid turbo and moto x 2014. It's a great little phone!
I purchased a new Moto X Verizon Dev Ed from one of the cheaper sellers on Amazon. As expected it was part of the Sept. 2014 batch of phones. I used the links provided on the first page and had my code from Motorola in less than 12hrs and had Lollipop installed not much longer after that.
Very happy with the purchase, don't be scared by the Sept 2014 batch of phones the process is simple (if you can unlock the boot, you have the abilities) and quick.

I just went to that last December from the S3 to the Moto X (1st gen). Love it, love it, love it. NO LAGS!!!! It's been seamless and smooth. Battery life is excellent. I get almost a day and a half if I'm not playing Diamond Digger (the makers of Candy Crush). I love the notification without having to open it up (have a pin code). I have it paired with my Bluetooth stereo in my Honda which plays music off the phone. It even reads back to me whenever I get a text message and gives me the option to respond (and this while driving ). I'm still trying to get use to using Google Now commands so I can do things more hands free.

I got mine almost three weeks ago and I'm really loving how this one works. I also find that my phone really doesn't lag like the S3 did. The cell phone signal is also a lot better on this phone. I really notice it when I'm at work.

I haven't been able to get Lollipop on my phone without going to a custom ROM. How did you get Lollipop on your phone?

that my once $500+ phone back in 2013, is now worth just $200 when you look at the specs of the new Moto G 4th Edition. Heck, the Moto G has better specs on paper then our piece of gold and our phone was once deemed the flagship for Motorola.
How fast has technology advanced. Still can't let go of my Moto X Dev Edition though!
I got this device used with the screen smashed for like 26$usd
Bought a complete screen replacement (display+touch+glass+frame) for 53$usd
So i got a Moto x for 80$usd on 2016 lol

u man, made me laugh :good:
I just got one on Craigslist for $50. Needed a backup phone for when I'm down the beach. Overall great condition, not my favorite color set up, but for 50 bucks who cares. I don't like bringing my Note 5 down to the shore. It was still running KitKat. LOL. So as soon as I got it I unlocked the bootloader threw team win on there and flashed cm. Winning!

I got mine this year for 80€, not used and free shipment o:
I got my XT1053 Dev Edition a year ago for $70 on eBay including shipping. I had to replace the camera and back cover which cost like $10. I used it for a year and I still love it more than any other phone I've ever used. I just switched to the Moto X 2014 and I'm thinking maybe I should have stayed with my 2013. I sure wish phones had upgradeable hardware like PCs.
