Case Question - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My parents recently bought a Moto G from a Verizon Wireless retain store, and the associate helping them sold them a Moto X case for it saying they're cross compatible.
The case itself is a bit off kilter, and having worked with the X before I was wondering if the Mic's are in different places.
Can someone verify whether the cases are interchangeable or not?
Thanks in advance!

No. They are NOT interchangeable. Although the phones look almost identical to the naked eye they are different enough that the cases won't crossover. I have both phones and one day I mistakenly tried to put my G in my Incipio case for my X. It took me a few seconds to figure out why the thing wouldn't fit worth a damn anymore LOL.. They need to get a case specifically for the G.

[Q] iPad 2 Case

Sorry if this has been asked, I searched and couldn't find anything... will any iPad 2 case's fit my beloved xoom.. Sucks that there's not that many good cases for the xoom, at least in my opinion
Ammm... Nope. The iPad is made in a different size from Xoom and that means it won't work, if you want a good case go on and buy the OEM Portfolio case, I'm using it and love it very much

Thank you for the input, I just ask because I remember reading somewhere people were using them

The question you asked was answered. If you want a case you should follow his advice. The official Motorola case/stand is good too.
Accessories
As has been said, iPad cases are the wrong shape.
In the last two weeks I got an official Motorola cover off eBay for $15. Also purchased a Motorola Speaker HD Dock for $35. Both brand new. The dock came with an extra charger and pumps out a good sound.
This kind of thing will not last forever - get em while stocks last.

This is the one I use. Been using it since 2011.

Still no docks?

I still can't find any good docks that work with the 2014 moto x. I've looked on Ebay and their is some, but they are in Europe and the shipping time is like 2 months. Has anyone found a good one?

2 months shipping, are they sending it by rowing boats?
It would seem
Still no docks what so ever man they sure don't make many accessories for this phone....
Proclip universal should work.
I found a universal one on eBay, but the issue is that the micro USB plug is long and the phone rests solely on the plug. It's not horrible because the dock has a back that the phone rests on, but I'm still worried about one of my kids knocking into it and something breaking. I do miss qi charging in this respect. The N4 orb was a nice little dock of sorts.

Yes, anything by proclip or brodit are top notch. I have personally bought the universal dock which is able to pivot for adjustable viewing angles, as well as adjusts the size of the dock for different phones. I've used a moto g , moto x, note 3, lumia 1520, and all fit perfectly ! Highly recommended!

[Q] Free accessories with phone

A lot of carriers and 3rd parties are offering free accessories as incentives these days.
I was wondering what, if anything at all, people have received or been offered with the LG G flex 2.
I was given;
LG Folio Quickcircle case worth £12-£20 ($17-$30)
and
LG Musicflow P7 portable speaker worth £150 ($220)
I'll update this post with links when I'm allowed to but for now Google can help you find them
So, what kind of accessories have you seen or received with the G flex 2?
I got the same as you from carphone warehouse in the uk. The offer was available to people who preordered the g flex 2.
By the way. How do you find your music flow speaker?. I find battery life a bit rubbish but great sounding little speaker in general...
G Watch R here, Pre-order Vodafone
They offered us nothing here in the US.. we always get screwed over, "land of the free" my ass.

I didn't preorder, I just went into the shop last week and got them for free.
I haven't had much use for the speaker yet so can't comment on battery life.
Sound wise it's brilliant for something so small, could be a little louder but I've got a full pa system if I want loud
I found I can use the speaker with my TV too... I don't think I'll be doing that again.

How do you find the G watch for day to day use?
I've been looking at a few smart watches but can't decide if I actual want one.

I feel your pain, this is the first time I've actually got anything free with a phone other than a bad tariff.
To be honest though, having looked in depth at moving to the US, you get much better deals on contracts and "all you can eat" data is far more widely available.

I was dubious to whether I would actually use it after the 'first week new toy' thing, but I have become almost dependant on it.
Excellent for use at work, out and about and generally round the house.
Can't recommend it highly enough!
In Singapore, they gave out free OEM tempered glass screen protector.

WARNING for those of you who bought this item!

I purchased this case just to have something in the meantime of getting a better one. Product didnt even fit my phone, maybe it was defective? Read some reviews and it seems common.

I haven't seen anything worth buying from karendeals...

Had the same problem from one I purchased off Ebay, just been on now to send a message and noticed that he has changed the description to a Moto x 'play' case, no wonder it didn't fit! Maybe that one you purchased is for the Play and they have it listed wrong?

Didn't think of that but it would make sense, the case I received was shorter.

LCD replacement

Anyone know where I can find a good replacement screen for my g7 power? Most sold online are 154mm and our device needs 157mm screens. The ones sold online work but leave a small gap from the chin of the device to the bezel
As new as the device is you probably have to get parts from Motorola/Lenovo. And they probably won't sell direct, only if they install.
I'm running into the same issue myself. I can not find the 157mm screen =/

i just found this on ebay, it wasn't there before when i posted.. i purchased one and hopefully it's correct......
So what devices are the short ones for? Any G7 Power?
And which models need the longer one?
I assume there's a reason these sellers thought the short one fit the G7 Power.
that's a very good question, unfortunately i do not have that answer. maybe there's variants for specific carriers that are different?

I just wanted to post that the screen size was correct, and after getting it installed, has been working great!
