Motorola tantalize us with Twitter photo of upcoming Moto X wood backs
Motorola teased a picture on Twitter today of the long-awaited wooden back cover for the Moto X. The company’s message attached to the image read “Put this DIY project on hold.

Being that we’re smack in the middle of the holiday season, it would be wise for Motorola to do everything in its power to get this out to the masses. [Motorola (Twitter); via 9to5Google]
