"Now Available" is a bit misleading.... if anyone is familiar with Kickstarter at all, you'll be lucky if you get the product within a year of the last day of funding.

This looks Awesome.
i want one. Definitely will save battery.

Change topic title, it's misleading. This isn't anywhere close to being now available not only is it not out but you have to vote for which phones get it, G2 getting it isn't even guaranteed.

The case is a small part of the device, the whole thing being a tiny portable bluetooth second screen is still very cool I posted here to get more interest in the G2 version... I'd use it even without the G2 variant but you can always cancel your pledge last min if they don't offer a G2 at the end of the campaign so no risk in loosing out...

That has nothing to do with it not being available and your topic name being a lie.

There we go, a small edit to the title is all it took..
seriously, if you're not interested in it then dont buy one... Simple lol

Our smartphones are big enough. Not for phones but for tablets it would be feasible.

well, better have a kindle...

Better get a LG G Pad

After 7 days friend cracked my screen...

So we were out for one of my friend's birthdays last night. It was the end of the night and we were about to drive one of my other buddies home who had gotten pretty drunk. I had pulled out my phone to check GPS on where the car was. Suddenly the drunk friend raises his hands and tries to give me a hug and slaps the phone out of my hands. 7 day old phone is now broken :'(
I usually go naked with my phones because I'm not accident prone. I guess I didn't take into consideration the hazards of other people. Any advise on replacement?

No moto care for accidents?

Man mine broke the other day too. I've been making sure that everyone knows how fragile this phone is. A fall like the one mine took should not have broken the phone like it did.

Scenarios like this is why I purchased moto care. You never know when crap will happen.
Do you have insurance through your carrier?

It's funny you mention Moto Care since I was actually thinking about purchasing it earlier yesterday. But yeah no I don't have any insurance.

With last years moto x my friend got his replaced twice because he cracked his screen without moto care. They allowed him to design a new one. They use to be pretty good about it, I'm not sure that if they changed things but he is not the only one I've heard of that got a replacement without cost because of a cracked screen.

I'm in the same boat, wife claims she set it face down on a wooden end table, and when she checked on it some time later, the screen was spider webbed out. Ran naked because it seems all the decent cases are on backorder. I contacted Moto and they asked for pictures, I'll see how it goes.

Any word on this? How did it turn out?

That really sucks OP. Sorry about that.
My SGS3 lasted 2+ years before it hurtled out of my hand and shattered sliding feet away on its face when I got into a bike accident a couple weeks back. I got stitches too.
But now I'm getting the Moto X
Terrified of it breaking, might have to consider Moto Care. That bike accident is the only accident I've ever been in and it was my own fault. Braked too hard and had my phone in one hand with Navigation running. Gotta get a bike mount for the Moto X now too actually.

Did you buy it with an American Express card? If so they offer 90 days accident protection coverage with every electronics purchase. If not, check your card, they may offer something similar.
Also consider buying Moto Care and then reporting it broken after you buy it.

Motorola wouldn't do anything, no surprise there. Quoted $99 - $250 for a replacement. Wife will continue to use 2013 X until we can have that done.

Advice? Your friend should buy you a new Moto X.

Dude just log into Motorolas website and buy Motocare ... it is available for one month after your date of purchase. Report it after you buy it (wait a week or so).
if you go bare, buy the care!

Kosee Moto G Charging Cradle

Hi Guys,
Has anybody seen these? Thinking about getting one for my bedside locker. If anyone has one, are they good quality? Worth the money?

Sounds like it's for the older smaller models.

Sorry, I put up the wrong link! There is one for the 2nd Gen too. Its out of stock at the moment though. There were 4 left on amazon when I was looking a few days ago. I'm going to keep an eye out for when they come back into stock and I've messaged the supplier about it. Here's the correct link anyway:
http://www.amazon.com/Kosee-Desktop...00RBON29E/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt/177-1569090-3945860
I'll also change the original link

This cradle will be back in stock from March 25th. Definitely getting my hands on one then!

Taking a shot in the dark for a lemon-lime back cover...

Just picked up an XT1064 (the Consumer Cellular version) and it has the traditional black back cover on it and I'm a fan of yellow and black so, I spent the past 2 hours trying to track down one of the OEM "lemon-lime" back covers for the Moto G 2nd gen model and was unsuccessful. Seems crazy that they'd just disappear from the face of the earth but whatever so...
If anyone out there happens to have an actual Motorola OEM Lemon-Lime back cover for the Moto G 2nd gen XT1064 I'd be interested in acquiring it from you given the price isn't too crazy insane or if anyone can point me in the direction of actually locating one online from a reseller that would be awesome as well. I tried dozens of online sources and got nowhere, not even eBay has it in any of a dozen countries I checked against. Not sure why they're so hard to find but I suppose they just weren't all that popular.
Yes I realize there are other companies making yellow or similar replacement back covers but I always prefer to get the OEM hardware above cheap knockoff products. I don't intend to use a case on this phone, hence me just wanting the lemon-lime factory back cover.
Admins/Mods: if this post isn't allowed then by all means delete it as required.
Thanks for any help in tracking one of these back covers down, happy holidays to all...

Hello!
I am from brazil and its fairly easy to get one of these around here.
I also have a Moto G 2014.
I can buy the cover and then ship it to you, add me in whatsapp if you're interested. +55 21 96821-8571.
Kind Regards.

I don't use WhatsApp so I guess that won't work but thanks for the offer.

Or you could u know get whatsapp? It literally takes 30 seconds lol

Already got rid of the Moto G 2nd gen, got a 3rd gen now and of course in looking for the yellow shell for this phone it's out of stock everywhere as well. I've never seen anyone using a yellow shell except me on any Moto phone and yet I can't find 'em anywhere, that's just weird.
Anyway, can't find one for the Droid Turbo 2 I have either, guess I'll just give up and live with things the way they are.

Actually I have one. Bought 2 years ago at ebay.co.uk.
Green and yellow isn't the best color. In few weeks it became dirty with a lot of dust on the inside.
So I stopped use it.
Oh, and it makes the phone bulkier than stock one.

Moto E 2nd Generation user, wanting to buy a G6

I recently had the misfortune of taking a phone for 18 dollars with a Verizon plan, and now, find it doesn't compare to my Moto E 2nd Generation. I am looking at a new, Motorola though, and thinking the G6 might be a good phone to upgrade to.
Are there other Moto lovers that have gone from an earlier version, which they loved, to a newer version and found them as lovable??
I can read all about them, but hands on is really way better imo. So talking to others that are where I am, or, have been there with getting into a newer Moto seems the best shot, before I buy Thank you for any input/advice, Denise PS I bought a Samsung J3 V, which I do not like. I can find my way around after Samsung giving me a link to a Simulator, but I just feel better going with what I know is a good phone.

I had a Moto e4. It was a great cheap phone. But I picked up a Moto g6 play and I really like it. The regular g6 (not play) is a great phone. And it's going to receive the update to Pie shortly (some have gotten it on the soak test and leaked it.)
I say go for it. It's a good solid phone

Can you tell me what a soak test is? Is that like Beta or something?
Thanks so much, appreciate you taking the time, Denise:good:

My last Moto phone was the Pure but I did pick up a new G6 two days ago from Verizon for $10 a month as a back up. It's a solid phone with great battery life and a decent camera. I'm really pleased with it actually but if I were to do it again I would go for the Moto Z3 for the same price and better specs. I think if I did that I would be using it as my main phone and not bothering with another. I was only able to go through BestBuy because Verizon was closed and I needed a phone that day and was only offered the G6 for that price. Either way this is a great phone for the price and lives up to the typical Moto experience. I don't think you can go wrong with it.

This is great! I wondered about the Moto Z3 but that's the one that has mods, which I probably would never use. I guess you have to purchase them of course. But I like the idea of Verizon having the same, monthly payments. Is that a 0% APR for 24 months?
Again, I am so glad to talk to Moto lovers, or definite likers, lol This Samsung has a heat problem, but since I put the case on I don't know really, and I haven't talked on it that long, yet, since the case. It doesn't overheat, but it's uncomfy for sure. My Moto E I'm keeping no matter what, for a back up.
I'll look a bit more into the Z3, but I'm not usually the type that tries get the latest of things. More the type that stick with anything that is still working satisfactorily
Thank you much, getting some much welcome replies here Denise

No "play" is the Google play edition. Slightly cheaper basically.
Yes, soak test is the beta program. Some people in it got the beta update and posted it. So it's definitely getting pie.
I've never used Verizon, I like to make a couple system level changes. So Verizon iron locked bootloaders are out for me. But even straight stock, Moto devices are solid performers. G6 included.

Thanks again MB, it looks like I'll get the Z3 instead because they are running a deal that brings the monthly amount of the Z3 down to the same amount as the G6. I might as well go for it. As far as I'm concerned, you are right on with your comment of Moto's are just solid performers. I've had 2 now, and this upcoming will be my 3rd
Thanks again, Denise

Ok, I had to check, but mine will just be a Moto Z3, pretty sure. Because that's what Verizon is providing for me and I don't think Verizon sells the Z3 Play. Also, I am hoping I can update to the Pie, because I really like pie, lol!! I think it's pretty amazing per the video I am watching, I can hardly wait to get it

Glad to hear you decided on the Z3. I don't think you will regret it.

I feel pretty good about my decision after reading and watching a couple of videos and especially from hearing person to person from you guys thank you so much!

Hey all, thought I'd let you know I ran into all kinds of hassals with Verizon because I bought the Samsung through Walmart. Long story short, I just exchanged the Samsung for what they had in a Motorola (at Walmart) which was a G6. I really like it, and feel so much better "driving" a Motorola, LOL!!
But seriously, I am glad I got so much feedback on the G6s because I was all excited about the Z3 at the same price. I still don't know they knocked off $100 dollars of the cost on the G6, but I didn't question it. It might have been because of the wrong info from the Verizon store, and also, with the online chat, and customer service phone-calls. Walmart store here, does not stock the Z3s.
