Hello

I'm about to order the cabernet colored back for the Moto g, but I had a question, is the back cover more purple than red? Have you ordered it and what do you think of it?

I haven't got a picture but i have been using this back cover for some time.

The cover itself is purple, the pictures on the internet don't do it justice.

I am hoping that it is a plum color (the darker part of the pic above). I just ordered the 16GB with Cabernet and Dark Chrome accent.

not as good as original shell...

I bought the back cover..so called Moto Shell... but there is absolutely no grip on it.. The original shell which comes with the phone is awesome..it feels premium...

Did any one compared the original shell with the one purchased???You can clearly see the difference... or it is only me had the low quality product???

I've seen a few youtube reviews from people with purple backs, and it looks like deep plum purple.

It's the same way with the yellow one, which I got. It looked slighly orange on moto's site, and it's really more like big bird, school bus freaking yellow....not so thrilled about that.

I hate the textured slippery back cover. What the hell was cheaporola thinking?! Why not make custom grippy rubbery matte backs. I don't even care about the stupid chrome accent and different colors. I'd be happy with either all black or white. I'd still put a case on it but at least would be easier to grip without a case. I have a cheap LG phone that has back cover like that.

Yeah, I ordered the cabernet, the moto maker site showed it as almost like a maroon color, looked lovely on the screen with the champagne metallic metal accent plate I picked out....when it arrived in the mail the back plate was PURPLE. The moto maker site should be a little more accurate with how it displays their colors.
