Warning: Verizon bumper case does not fit Z Force - Moto Z Force Accessories

I was reading a post on another forum about the bumper case from Verizon for the Z Force. The post stated that the case does not fit 100%. Specifically, the back bottom of the case has a lip that sits on the back of the shell. This causes the charger port opening to not be aligned and, therefore, the charger will not plug in all the way.
I did get a bumper case and confirm this is true for the Z Force. While a "thinner" USB - C cable might plug in, the OEM one does not work. The post talks about grinding away the lip and enlarging the charger port opening. I haven't done this yet as I may just return the case.
My biggest draw to this case was that I could still use mods with it. I think I might wait for Verizon or Motorola to correct the issue on their own and get that updated version.

Got it this weekend. Don't like it. Fits a little loose on the side, and while it does work with mods, it does NOT fit properly with the style shell attached.

My Droid Force Z bumper case from Verizon fits perfectly. Make sure you get the Droid Force Z case. They have three different cases for the Droid Force Z,Droid Play Z, and Moto Z at my Verizon store . I picked up the Moto Z one the first time or maybe I got a redesigned case since I picked it up yesterday.

I have 2 of these cases for mine and the wife's Moto Z Forces. No issues with the fit or charge port. Wish i would have seen them in store when we purchased. Would have saved us from scared on the edges of the device

Verizon got a second batch of the bumper cases a month or so ago. Many people are reporting that the newer cases fit without modification.

Even though we have "scars" on our phones, maybe it was a good thing we didn't buy them upon purchase

I purchased the bumper case from Verizon a week or so ago when they had BOGO offer. So I got 2 of them for $14.99. Fits perfectly and there was no modifying that I had to do.

I purchased two one from the stock at the store and then one on their website. Both fit and worked great. Store purchase was 10/04 and the online purchase was 10/07 and case arrived 10/12.

Here's mine. I must have the second design as mine works perfectly. I got it on the buy one get one free sale (son has the force too so second was necessary). I like the look of the incipio version, but $7 vs $30, I can deal with the verizon bumper.

after seeing a coworker's Bionic (lucky bastard ) which had the same style case with kickstand (apparently they sell those at the verizon store) I bought one from amazon as well. It should be coming tomorrow, so hopefully I can give a more thorough review. I've been looking for a kickstand case for a while, and none have been even remotely slim except this one.
just got this case. From what i can tell... it checks all the right boxes for a case. its light, its thin, its slightly soft but still durable, and most importantly, IT HAS A KICKSTAND. My only concern is the durability of the kickstand as it seems like the hinges and movable parts feel flimsy even though the rest of the case feels solid. On the plus side there are no folding plastic bits which you know will eventually snap.
Bad ass case, I love it. I had it for my Droid 2, Fascinate and my Charge.
I have one. I love it, and the kickstand is pretty sweet feature for watching stuff at lunch break in the conf room.
I broke off my clip eventually as I am always catching it on something while getting in and out of equipment and my desk chair. (kinda a wide ass). I super glued it back on with some Barn's FSA Adhesive and it's back in business.
Best case/holster I have had of all time.
It's pretty good for all of the reasons already stated, but my only complaint is that it's kind of a pain to get the case off if you're a guy like me who needs to remove it twice a day in order to switch batteries. That's all.
I have it
I got mine in a package deal when I purchased my phone. I love it, keep the phone nice and secure. I love belt clips, especially when you can rotate it. Sometimes I clip it to my messenger bag to catch videos of my bike rides. Once you start using the kick stand, you can't go back. Get it from verizon so if it breaks, they will provide you with a replacement.
Is it really made by Samsung? I need one of the "holster" with clip, so that I could use it while at the gym.
I just bought a new spare of these holsters from Amazon for $6.00. I go through a couple a year and don't want to come up short.
These are the Verizon ones and are pretty nice.

I can't seem to find the item on Amazon that you mentioned. Actually, I'm really just interested in the case part that attaches to the phone, I already have the part that has the belt clip. Have you seen where to get those?

SkyRocket Dock Charger?

Are their any Skyrocket Dock chargers out their? I have searched high and low and can not find any...
I found a universal one online the other day that would be perfect.
Here it is:

I bought the spare battery system from Amazon.
Part: ET-CGPK004GSTA
Came with a NFC-capable Samsung battery and stand, I put my phone in portrait with it plugged in and can use the AirDroid application to send messages.
looking too
Since they put the usb port on the bottom, I am guessing they want to expand to have speakers, alarm clocks and everything else you can dock these phones in. I am guessing that companies that make this stuff will take a while to get these products out. I'm tired of seeing every type of docking station for iPods.
Hopefully there are making this location standard on all the new phones so it could be more universal to fit most android phones.
If anyone finds anything I hope they will post to this thread!

This looks VERY interesting. I have a flexible skin on my SR, and I don't want to take it off to charge it.....for $5 and shipping this could be a good solution for someone with a thin protective cover.
Yeah, thanks for posting that nexendz. I started a similar thread here with some other options but have yet to find something right. Right now I'm using a business card holder with some foam stick on pads as a stand with the stock charger, although that costs about the same as that Zenis dock.

I, too, am using my old Infuse dock. It's a little big, but it charges fine and might be big enough to hold a SR with a thin case.

The diztronic TPU case works with it but is tight. The USB plug doesn't line up with it while the case is on, but it does fit into the dock with this case. I use this dock as well in my vehicle and I just take the case off when I do.

" Innodock Jr. Desktop Cradle"
It seems to be universal and I worry a little about the connection on the bottom of the phone but it charges the phone and stands it up with any of the three cases I have used so far on my phone.
I started a threat here to see if anyone has tried using the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 dock for the Skyrocket. According to T-Mobile and AT&T, the phones dimensions are identically the same.
will that work with the SR?
That's what I am trying to find out

Ordered this one from a different seller; same price, arrived very fast. Works with naked handset but not with the included plastic insert nor with a diztronic TPU case. For $5 I don't mind roughing it up so will try to dremel out the sides and see if I can get a better fit to avoid removing the case every time.
EDIT: Don't mind url butchering, gg 10posts.
Let me know how the butchering goes....got ours in a few days ago and may do the same

Removed 3mm overall from the sides to fit case. Now fits the sides but didn't account for the back so it's a bit tight but I don't mind as it keeps it well seated. It is hollow behind the plastic so you will see the void behind it but since the phone will be in the stand it shouldn't matter, at least it's not white plastic painted black which would look worse.
Thanks!

Case-mate bumper and case for Moto X pure

Got the bumper and case on Moto.com
The case feels more solid and comfortable in hands because of the curve and thickness. But as you can see the case can easily catch fingerprints on it. Actually the case looks a lot better in reality than in this picture, my bad.
The bumper is a little loose on the left and right side and feels less premium than the case due to the material. But I do love the color and the design to show your finish.
Ps, I got these two with only $15, that's another story.
Forgot one thing. The case can relative cause heating issue. I can feel a little warmer (not hot) with the case under the same usage.
Still a naked phone for me but thanks for sharing.

It's Naked Tough Case for Moto X Pure Edition, you can find it both on Moto and case-mate's website.
Well I ordered the X Pure but my delivery was about one week late, so the rep of moto gave me a coupon of $25 to purchase any accessories on the website. Later I decided to get a bumper, which costs 20. I thought that the coupon of 25 can easily cover the whole price of the bumper (I just thought they will cut the price with maximum 25), but later I found that the coupon didn't work and I was fully charged. I called moto and they told me that I have to make my total purchase over 25 to be eligible to use the coupon. It's kinda sophisticated, let me make some examples:
1, You bought an item under 25, even 24.95, not work. You pay full price.
2, You bought a single item over 25, let's say 29.95, you pay 4.95+shipping.
3, You bought two items with total over 25, maybe one 20 and one 15, you get the 20 free and pay 15+shipping.
See? That's really complex and They did NOT mention this kind of thing anywhere. While after discussion they decided to cancel my original order and send a free bumper, and I can still use that coupon to buy other staff, while I went with the case. That's the whole story, to be frankly, compared with the ending, I would rather they ship my phone on time at the beginning.

The heat is why I would rather use a bumper case. This device IMO gets too hot to have a case on it for my medium to heavy use. Any app that uses the GPU much gets this device hot and a case only helps keep the heat in.
As far as the bumper case, the tube trim seems like it could come off after some wear. Does it seem that way to you? It looks like a blue tube that has been glued to the bumper frame.
I got mine this morning. Really liking it so far. Don't feel like I'm going going to drop the phone any more. I got the grey/black and it goes well with my white front and dark ash wood back.

Hard to say. It looks perfectly flush so I'm thinking it's good for at least a year unless you're really rough on phones. My main worry is dust/grit collection and scuffing up the edges of the phone. I'll make sure to clean it out weekly.

Just wondering if you think the bumper alone can offer protection. The phone is huge and I'd like to avoid any case, but I don't know if that's wise.

Actually it's no complicated. They give a 25$ coupon essentially. It's not a 25$ giftcard where you use it and you have money left over it's a one time coupon to use and you have to use it all

mine is already lose around the buttons area. There is very noticeable slack and looseness on the right side of the phone now. It started tight and flush but not so much now and its only been a week and I've only taken it off once.

Based on the design this is what I expected, but a few months later than now. It would be better off with a harder frame and coated rubber glued around the frame.
I will use the plastic two parter for a while longer I guess. I was going to drill holes in the back, but can see the plastic crack. Need to think about it....
The bumper case it came with was too fragile and broke around the button area. Plastic is too thin. These hard cases though only seem good for scratch protection and keeping the heat in for GPU heavy app use. The latter is not a good thing.

I think it can protect in a certain level, but clearly it's not the best option compared with other cases.

Seems though it will protect better than the hard cases, since all hard cases do is transfer energy to the device itself when dropped. About the only good a hard case provides is scratch and scuff protection.

Welcome
Damn this is probably the longest I've ever had to wait for a case to arrive from 2 states away. Ordered on 11/18 and Shipped out 11/19. It sat in Salt Lake City, Utah for 2 days 11/20 and departed 11/22 @ 10pm...Still wont be here till Tuesday-ish... FedEx shipping. And I opted "Express" (which was free)
They couldve just popped it inside a USPS mailbox and wouldve been here on Sat.
Shouldve looked in BestBuy to see if they had it in stock. :banghead::banghead::banghead:

I ordered mine the 12th, shipped on the 13th and was delivered on the 17th @ 9:35 PM by FedEx never had anything delivered past 7PM before. I also got the Free Express Shipping.
I'm not sure how much I like it. I have the G4 still and got the Defender for it as well and I know it's a smaller phone but I think it's the curve back that just makes it seems so much smaller than it really is and Otterbox doesn't make it feel that big. Now the V10 Defender this thing is a Tank. I'm sure I'll get use to the size after awhile but coming from a Note 2 Defender to the G4 Defender was 100x better design feel and everything. I also got a Supcase for my G4 the Water Resistant and I actually used that alot more than the Otterbox since it would cover up the back cutouts with plastic and protect the camera. Wonder if they will release on for the V10.
I have the Tmobile V10 and Fingerprint sensor worked maybe 5x with the case I try everytime still but 99% it won't. They better release a update soon. Still have another week before I decide to keep the V10 or not my fat fingers do type better on the V10.

LOL yea I had the same ZL and case I used the ZL all the time it was a beast never had to charge that phone. Had 2 Defenders cases on 1 of them I did the battery cutout mod before ZL came out with the shockcase. I couldn't hold out anymore grabbed a G4 on release had my N2 since release.
The Defender is built well. The Plastic snaps that clip together on the 2 plastic shells are really easy to take off compared to the N2 and the G4 case ( was better) but not as easy as the V10 always seem liked I needed to use a credit card or something to pop 1 or 2 of the clips I can just use a finger nail and not feel like I'm going to rip it off if you know what I mean.

I hear ya on that I work Construction and main reason I always buy a Defender on my phones. After awhile you get use to the bulk of the Defender's but it's nice to have the option to just go without or a slimmer case. That Water Restraint Supcase for the G4 is nice it protects the Camera Lens as well plus they put little screens on the case over the speakers and mic ports for dust etc. They don't sell a holster for that one but I found that the Beetle Supcase holster worked fine with it and same with the Defender so I've been using the Supcase with Defender Holster for last few months. I contacted them if they were going to make any case's and they just replied back with they have no case's that fit.
What other case you got I might grab the Obliq just for something slimmer.

Just got a generic rugged case from ebay and now the Defender. Gotta say that theres a big difference in quality on the 2. Gonna put my ebay case for sale on OfferUp and maybe buy a slim case for when I need one.
Where is the Otterbox Commuter for the V10?
Looks like this is now 40% and FS from Otterbox right now oh well.
Also don't forget up to 12-10% CB from online sites just go to cashbackholic to see.
Is it even worth 40% off?
Kinda pissed that a week after I order mine its now 40% off. Might be a Black Friday Deal.
Has anyone taken off the provided Defender Screen Protector? I already have a TGSP and this plastic just leaves the screen harder to make selections.

Earlier I opened up a 2nd account and ordered it again. Then setup a return on my 1st order. It's only a $5 charge taken from credit for shipping return. Still save's you $15 plus 12-10% at some CB cover's that $5 so almost back up to $20 saving's.
I'm just waiting til the new one comes in and send it back on the return order unopened.
I haven't taken the Plastic cover off. I might wait til that 2nd comes in and do it. I've done it on the Note 2 and G4 but the V10 case looks like might be little harder might have to heat it up a little with a heatgun blow dryer.
I think next time I'll wait for BF if I buy a phone just before not sure if this is something they always do. Wanted to grab the Samsung Tab Pro/Note 12.2 but its OOS.
Since I have 3 of these Tripod/Selfie Stick Mounts I wanted to see if it would fit the V10 ... While it does fit (barely) I wasnt pleased on how unsecure my heavy V10 was on it.
So I got to thinking on how I can get the tripod mount onto my Otterbox Defender Holster.
Heres what I came up with.. It sturdier than just the phone sitting in the tripod mount. And the phone is still accessible for easy mounting and unmounting. I can also flip the phone around and use the rear camera because my mono-pod has a mirror to make sure that im in the shot.
Paired it with my Bluetooth Shutter Button and now I'm ready for a NewYears Eve Night of Selfies In Las Vegas!!
Enjoy!
Oh last picture is my haul for tonight!!

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.

I just use scotch 3m magic tape to protect sides ?
Hi guys. I'm an italian user and it's impossible to have a bumper case for z2 play in Italy. What can I do for having it?
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.
