NEW Moto G - Flip Case - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to order the new type Moto G in the next day or so. I already have the old model Moto G fitted with the Motorola Flip case. But the downside is that the phones compass is affected by the magnets in the flip cover. However, apart from that I like the flip cover.
I am in two minds whether or not to order the new Moto G with the flip case.
My question is, has anyone ordered and received the new Moto G model with the Flip Cover, and I would really like to know if the magnet/compass problem been fixed on the new model?
Thanks

While ordering handset, the original flip cover was not available and I was informed that I will be notifiied when they are available for sale.
Until then wait.

[Q] Official Moto G Flip Shell Review

I am thinking of getting the Moto G flip shell, but i am wondering if its any good or not? Does anyone have it? And if so, what is it like?
I'm also want to buy this original flip shell, but also wait review before buy it...
I don't have it but here's a review: http://www.androidcentral.com/moto-g-flip-shell-review
I just bought one for the wife's Moto G. The shell is well made and feels like it will last. It has a magnetic front so it stays closed and when opened, the phone 'wakes up' on its own. It replaces the existing rear case and is slightly thicker than the stock case but this makes the phone feel even more solid.
The wife is very fussy about how her phone feels and she is very pleased with the Flip Shell.
I ordered official white one from Amazon as nowhere has them in stock. I will post back with review but doubt Ill have it for at least a week now due to holidays.

Back Case for the Moto X 2nd Gen

Recently i placed an order for the Moto X 2nd Gen and was looking for a Back case that would hopefully protect it later on, then i stumbled upon this one >> Heartly Back Case Cover For Moto X (2nd Gen) << The reviews looked convincing so ordered it and have received it.
I gotta say that the case is pretty sturdy, have a look for yourself.

i was just curious if there are other features for this style of case. so far only thing is unlocking the phone when you open it.
I bought two Korean made cases for my husband and I off of Ebay. Both of them make the second screen turn black when the cover is closed. I thought the second screen would stay on with it shut, and this is a bit disappointing. When it is shut, it covers the light sensor. Anybody else having the same problem?

Are there any "special" cases for Snap mods?

Hello XDA,
I just bought my Moto Z2 with a Power Pack Snap recently and I have been wondering if there are Moto cases where I can use my power pack and my Moto Z2 at the same time while mine phone charges with it. I know that it shouldn't be "melted" in one cases because that's the logic of the Moto Mods, but it would be nice to know if there are Moto Z cases to use with my Moto Mods simultaneously.
Thanks in advance.
After a 7 year love affair with my Moto Droid 4 and Atrix Lapdock, I finally broke down and bought a Moto z2 Play. It will arrive monday. From what I understand of the mods, they are supposed to act like a case for the phone while they are in use, making another case redundant. That said, I'm sure there are some enterprising people with 3D printers who have made cases for the mods, a google search should yeld results. All I know for sure is that there is a physical keyboard mod and I will be purchasing it!! <3

Verizon has a bumper case for the Z2 Play that is 'compatible' with mods, as it has no back. Having cases that cover the back that are usable with mods won't likely happen as all the moto mods are a different size.

I'm using a dbrand skin on the back, at least it provides some protection against scratches...

I have a Verizon Moto Z2 Play with a TUMI mod wireless charging battery and got the Verizon "bumper case". Its a clear plastic perimeter band slightly raised above the screen in front and sub-flush with the TUMI back. It provides only extended corner bumpers and edge protection. Does nothing to protect the back. Not sure if it works with other mods. Doesn't seem like it would work with any mod other than battery packs.

I'm pretty sure it works with all mods except the style shells and maybe the wireless charging backs. It for sure works with my Soundboost speakers, Incipio battery packs, and my Incipio car dock.

I have the Verizon bumper case and love it. The price I paid was about 13.00 dollars with free shipping.
I have two mods and it works fine with both.
I don't have a Verizon phone as mine is unlocked and was ordered from Motorola. So I think it will work with any Moto Z2 Play.
I'm same as above, working great.

Verizon bumper Case Issues
I have a Moto z2 Play and I use the wireless charging "cover" motomod with it. I originally purchased the only case I could find anywhere that would fit the phone with the moto mod wireless charging module installed - the bumper case from Verizon. It fits fine with the motomod installed, the problem I experienced first was I dropped my phone on a tile floor and the case did its job protecting my phone, but it broke at the bottom where the opening is for the USB connector to the phone (ie this is the weakest and most vulnerable part of the bumper. then I was trying to take the bumper off to use a different accessory with the headphone jack ( the bumper's opening for the headphone jack is fairly restrictive and lots of headphone and other connectors just won't fit through the hole to make a connection) and when I tried to snap the case off it broke in the very same spot. I'm hesitant to buy another one as I see this to be a design or construction flaw that I'll just run into again.
Bottom line - if I could just leave it on the phone with the motomod in place and not have the need to periodically remove the bumper to connect other accessories - it would be perfect. Otherwise I see this thing just breaking again and again and again, etc.
Any idea where I can find another case that would fit the Moto Z2 Play with the wireless charging moto mod cover in place?

I got a edge bumper case. It allows me to attach the power pack Moto mod back that came with the phone. Here is a link to it on Amazon. Make sure to read my review of it (the one by Murf)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B075WGHPZS?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd
I just received a metal bumper case, which is now just under twenty USD on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075264W6F/ref=psdc_3081461011_t2_B075WGHPZS . I have the rubber bumper case and it's good too, but isn't attractive.
Pros: Durable, looks great and fits snugly; compatible with all of the style shells and mods I have (TUMI battery pack, JBL SoundBoost).
Cons: Maybe slightly slippery compared to rubber bumper cases; adds a little bit of weight; USB-C cables just barely make a connection due to the size of the USB-C port opening on the bottom edge of the case. I solved it by shaving off a bit of each plastic/rubber edge on the USB-C end of the cable (not the case, though you could do it with a rotary tool) with a razor blade. I did that for a couple of cables I use at home and in my car and it's great. If you carefully shave the plastic edges of the cable plugs it doesn't look bad, nor does it reduce reliability or durability of the cable.
I thought about using my rotary tool to modify the opening of the case, but I'm worried it will turn out badly and look terrible. I can always buy a new cable cheaply!
im using tech21 case. i thougt it is enough for protection

I've read that these can be used, without the back in place and with a Moto Mod installed.

I ordered one, but have yet to receive it. I'll try to recall to return here and post my opinion, once I get it.
There is also another bumper on Amazon, that is not the Verizon bumper, but it does not have great reviews.

Do you have this bumper?
Amazon reviewers report that the hole for charging is too small to accept a cable and the hinge is flimsy.
What say you?

It's due to arrive either this week or the next one. I ordered it last week but I live in Spain and it takes a bit longer. Bit you can check and indian review of the Moto Armor Pack or something like that on YouTube, it comes included.
I just bought this one
https://www.amazon.com/Bumper-Black...r=1-2&keywords=moto+z2+play+bumper&pldnSite=1
and is really good, i had a bad impression when I unpacked it, but it feels good on my hands and the motomods fits perfectly

I thought those bumper cases looked real cool and thought about getting one. Until I read reviews that it lowered the users "Bars" for the cell tower connection. The connection at my house already cuts in and out so I didn't want to take a chance on it. Good luck with yours. If you live in a big city or close to a tower you may not have any issues. I live on the fringe of my closest tower.
