"Moto Maker Custom Moto X\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLots of Choices\nYou can choose between 18 rear colors, seven accent colors and two front plate colors for your phone.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrilliant Colors\nThe colors of my Moto X look even more brilliant in person than they do online.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPowerful Accents\nI chose a metallic yellow to accent my phone. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSide View\nYour accent color is used for the camera area as well as the volume rocker and power button on your phone.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCustom Background\nI selected this yellow rotary phone as my wallpaper in the Moto Maker. The phone came with it pre-loaded.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAT&amp;T Only\nMoto Maker is currently available exclusively for AT&amp;T customers. When you create a phone using the app it will come with the AT&amp;T logo on the bottom.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMoto Skip\nFor a limited time, every Moto X customer is being given a Moto Skip with the purchase of their phone. When you tap your phone on the skip you can bypass the loack screen of your phone.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJust Like Any Other\nMy custom Moto X came in a shrink wrapped box, just like any other smartphone.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMotorola officially launches the Moto X on Friday, along with Moto Maker \u2014 the tool that lets smartphone shoppers customize the look their new smartphones. Although the Moto X will be available on five carriers, Moto Maker is exclusive to AT&amp;T at launch.\nI got a chance to check out Moto Maker early, and my customized Moto X arrived this week. The web app lets you pick everything from the color of your phone's buttons, down to its wallpaper. Motorola will send your finished product within four days of your order \u2014 all for the same price as the standard-colored phones from store shelves.\nSee also: Moto X: The Phone That Really Listens to You\nEasy to Create\nBuilding your own phone using the Moto Maker is an exceptionally simple process. You can choose from 18 rear color choices, seven accent colors and two front plate colors. You can also customize the phone's launch screen, select your wallpaper and even connect the phone to your Google account so it's ready to go right out of the box. \nMoto Maker takes you though the step-by-step process, and a virtual version of your phone is updated in the center of the screen as you customize each part.\nCustom changes you make take effect almost instantly so you can very quickly see that the metallic purple buttons you've selected don't look quite right with the cherry back, or that a white front might complement your handset better than black. \nThe app offers a variety of colors, but strangely almost all of those colors seem to blend well with each other. I spent a good deal of time trying to come up with an \u201Cugly\u201D phone but was never quite able to do so.\nIf you like seeing things in the flesh before you buy, AT&amp;T has \u201Cexperience tables\u201D in its stores where you can check out how some of the colors look in person. If you went into the Moto Maker experience knowing exactly what colors you want to use, you could could complete the whole customization process in less than five minutes.\nHello, Pretty\n\nMy custom Moto X arrived within four days of my order and was packaged in a shrink-wrapped box like any other smartphone. Inside was my custom phone, complete with an engraving I included on the rear. \nAfter our trial run, Motorola decided to hold off on offering engraving to the general public due to quality-control issues. The quality of my engraving, however, looks to be on par with the carrier logo on the back of the phone. It's painted on in raised lettering, rather than an actual engraving into the rear of the device, so I suspect the issue might be that, over time, it might wear off.  \nThe colors \u2014 I went with raspberry and metallic yellow \u2014 look even better in person than they do online. Based on the online picture, I expected the phone to have a slightly washed-out look. In reality, the colors are deep and vibrant. They look great.\nThe phone also sports my custom launch screen and the wallpaper I pre-selected within Moto Maker. The only difference between the version I created online and the one that arrived was the addition of the AT&amp;T carrier logo on the back of the phone, directly under my engraving.\nMaker Hot\nMotorola's Moto Maker is a quick and easy way to customize your own smartphone. The process is exceptionally simple, and the results make your phone look like it was crafted by a professional.\nIf you're looking to stray from the more traditional black and white phone models, Moto Maker is definitely worth a shot.\nImages: Emily Price, Mashable"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
