High demand! - Moto Z2 Force Guides, News, & Discussion

Looked on T-Mobile to see if the phone was in stock - it's not. It's on backorder until the 29th. I like the phone so much, I ordered a second one. This phone with the battery mod and JBL mod is awesome. It has its flaws, but for $375, this is a steal.

I think it depends on the store. I got my son a Moto z2 force at our local TMobile store which had a lot in stock.

Ur not the only one. I'm planning on getting a second one too. Best phone on the planet(sprint sim unlocked and rooted). I'm one happy camper I've been begging and waiting for this for years since the droid 4.
Btw if ur adding a tempered glass screen protector, I found that it fits perfectly in regular z force case due to the extra millimeter thickness. It won't fit in my z2 otterbox defender but fits nice n snug in my z force poetic revolution case.

Have a link to that case?
I tried a glass, but it chipped a few days after. I put a matte wet install on and it's perfect for my liking.

Its got a face cover and bumped edges dont think mine will crack any time soon. Already fell a couple times with 0 damage. Slippery fone/case tho.

Actually received my 2nd one yesterday. Man, this is such a great phone. I honestly can't believe its only flaw is no headphone jack.
I have no issues on this like I do my v30+. This phone's smooth, great battery, sounds great with headphones and Bluetooth. The screen has no banding and I also get no delayed texts. On top of it all, this phone should be rootable. I may try it this weekend.

I bought on for my kid last weekend. Oreo update killed the display. Spent hours with projector mod guessing on a blank screen to finally get to factory reset. Unfortunately, no joy there. Reset killed pairing with mod, so I was done at that point. Sprint replaced, no questions. Replacement seems to be rolling along fine.
Question of the day; liquid or tempered? Had liquid on original, but they were out when I got replacement.

I went tempered, it chipped in the first 3 days. Using an IQ shield now (liquid apply) and it's fantastic. Not everybody likes the matte finish though. I personally prefer it. It doesn't get oily or get fingerprints. And touch glides across it.

Broken AT&T Nexus One

Well my poor phone suffered a fall to the concrete that it was unable to withstand. My screen is cracked and therefore renders the phone useless. I have an extended warranty with accidental damage thankfully tho. Not sure if they are going to just fix mine and send it back to me or give me the money to buy a new one. With that said I just went to Google's site and it says that the AT&T version is temporarily not available. Is this part of Google's new transition or is it just out of stock? I'm hoping it's the later of the two.

Balls. I am hoping so too. In any event, I am sure HTC can fix you up.
Quick question, which phone case were you using when this fall to the concrete happened?
Possibly either that or out of stock? Or out of stock because of that?

I used to have a soft rubber case but I had a scare when I dropped it once, got a small scratch near the ear speaker. I quickly ordered the case-mate tough case and couldn't be any happier, this thing is a tank!

This is correct. In the Google support forums, a Google employee confirmed that this was just a temporary shortage and that they would be available in the next few days.
P.S. I just ordered a Tough Case last night. Thanks for making me feel better about deciding to order that

What colors did you go with?
i just checked and you can order an AT&T version on google.com/phone now.
so I dropped my phone about 2 hours ago. Still can't believe it, the AMOLED screen has cracks that run through it, so the display doesn't show anything.
However, everything else is in tact including the digitizer. I guess the AMOLED repair shouldn't run me more than $150 phew.

[Open Thread] Thoughts On Otterbox Case For EVO Shift 4G

So I just wanted to start a thread for myself and anyone else who may want to read it
Basically anyone who has an otterbox case for the evo shift or has seen/used it or whatever just leave your opinions/reviews whatever. I am thinking of buying one so just wondering
I don't have one for the Shift but I've used an Otterbox on other devices and would recommend it if you have the slightest fear of damaging your handset.
I believe the last one I used was a Commuter which completely encased the handset and seemed to be able to take a hit. The back was too smooth for me so I had a little trouble re-learning how to hold it and the thickness of the handset increased significantly but overall it felt safe. Worth the extra money.
I am using the otterbox commuter case on my shift right now. I like it a lot. The fit and finish seems like it is completely a part of the phone. Only two complaints are:
1. If I try to move an icon from one hone screen to another, the piece covering the screen makes it difficult to move it to the "edge" - not a big deal, you learn to adjust.
2. When opening the slider, I hear a click sound, sounding like the little tabs holding the upper piece on are catching as it moves. Again, kinda not picky.
All in all, I think it is a great case and makes me worry a lot less about dropping my device. I would definitely recommend it.

Awesome seems like ill want to pick it up. I recently cracked the screen on my shift and made a few scuff marks so that's what seriously turned me to getting the case.

Tip for putting on the included screen protector...patience and a clean work surface! I couldn't get it to work well at first, then I ended up dropping it on the carpet. I was ready to give up on it until my wife took it from me and got it to work. So...if you have the patience of an ADHD kid on meth like I do...lol. It was my first screen protector too so. Anyways have fun!
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
definitely worth getting. i have the commuter series otterbox and it makes my phone look and feel like a beast. only thing that annoys me sometimes is the dust/lint that gets stuck to the rubber on the case, but i just blow it off.

I haven't had a problem opening the slider at all.
I have one and love it! Top of the line case, looks good feels good and protects good! I would totally recommend it to anyone with a Shift!..
I use it on my shift, and have had them on two other phones. Like everyone else said, its a great case, and really does look like a part of the phone.

I'm now on my second otterbox after a free factory replacement, my only nit pics are the usb port cover doesn't stay closed, and it clicks everytime I open it, feels like one of the clips is catching....
Sent from my MiuiSpeedy
Just got the Commuter series and I'm a fan so far. Makes the phone feel more substantial and gives a better grip. The only issue was with the headphone and USB port covers, which didn't stay down. I just removed them, but DON'T Rip them off, it'll tear the rubber casing. Found that out on the USB port one so I cut the headphone one off. Either way makes the rubber a little loose around the port but not hugely annoying unless you're a perfectionist(which I can be). I'll just apply a little glue and seat it on the plastic frame.

Nope I can confirm that, being really careful you can take the back without any problem..
I Think that the front parts being hard to take off it's a good thing.
Had mine for 2 or 3 months now
Bought it from Amazon for like $25 when they finally came available for the shift and had to wait a month before I got it in hand.
I'm not as impressed as i would be with the protection if it was a defender case. I had the black case with fake carbon fiber and belt clip before. The otterbox commuter is better then that one, by how much I'm not sure.
I dropped my phone about a month ago. I don't know if it just hit the right place of the case, and the back case came flying off the phone, the side clips where busted off, so the back case would not stay on any more.
I decided to call up otterbox and see if it was under warr. and if they would replace it. AMAZINGLY they said YES so they shipped me a new one for free i didn't even have to pay shipping. NICE. It was quick and easy I thought that was soooo cool. Because of that i will continue to buy otterbox, and recommend them to others.
In future i hope to buy defender cases (better protection) which means no more slider phones which i think i am ready for now that touch screens are so much better. All my old phones have been sliders with full keyboards from back in the day with my old HTC t-mobile MDA, which made me find this site.
Thats my 2 cents.

My Nexus 7 Accessories Order :)

I got this case-
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0083P0MI4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
and this screen protector-
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EO263I/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01
They'll both be here Monday, which is when my Nexus 7 (16 GB) will be delivered too. I have and have had products from both Moko and ArmorShield, and both are excellent quality.
I think I'm going to buy that case. For $6.99, it will hold me over until a better one comes around. I don't like it for permanent use.
I do want a screen protector too, but I only want the non-spray self-sticking (static cling?) ones. I bought one of those for my wife's iPad and it worked great. I bought a spray-and-stick one for my SGT8.9, and it sucked (Zag).

Well, MoKo makes good stuff, it should last a while, I think they are just doing the deep discount to get in on the Nexus 7 frenzy. I agree on the Zagg's, I don't like them either, but ArmorShield, Skinomi and BodyGuardz are all good ones, they all make dry apply and wet apply. I usually go for dry apply on phones, like my Galaxy Note i717, but on bigger things like tablets the wet apply ones are easier to install and work with, at least for me. The ArmorShield's are really thin, don't yellow and are not sticky like the Zagg's, which is one reason why I dislike Zaggs too.
Just ordered that case as well. Can't beat that price with prime shipping.

I ordered the case a few days ago and already got it. It's actually quite nice and more indicative of its real price and not the $7 I paid for it.
I ordered a moko one that has the magnetic sleep/wake function. Sort of a gamble because there is only one pic, but it looks like it can function as a stand as well.

Right on! I have been pretty impressed with their stuff, Skinomi's are a little sticky, and Zagg's are ultra sticky of course. With the ArmorShields, the little imperfections will settle out over the next couple of days, and if for some reason it goes crazy, they will just send you another set out.

I haven't checked my mail yet, lemme go see...
Update-Yep
Dear buyer:
Sorry for another intrusion but we just came across this report and
thought we have to share it with you:
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/White-Nexus-7-Case-Stain-Clean-Black-Nexus-7,16302.html
With the same porous plastic material, we are concerned that the black
back on the retail version could also be susceptible to dye to some
extend. It may be embarrassing but we have to admit that we did not
have this issue in mind when our fist batch of Nexus cases was made.
Although the case has NOT left any mark on neither of the white or
black Nexus 7 we have after a short period of normal use, we would
rather be overcautious and have more intensive tests done before we
can comfortably let you use the case, even as a temporary solution. We
definitely could not afford to have you as beta-testers on this issue
with your brand new tablets and would suggest you hold off using the
case until you get further confirmation from us or a replacement case,
hopefully within 5-7 days.You can be assured all our future shipments
will be fully compatible with Auto wake/sleep feature and free of any
staining problems guaranteed. You will get to choose any style you
prefer from our whole selection of Nexus cases as the free
replacement.
I understand most of you will get your Nexus 7 today and I am really
sorry to disappoint you with this message but please do excise caution
if you have to use something else on your Nexus. Again, I apologize
for the inconvenience and would appreciate your understanding and
patience in this process of getting the right protection for your
Neuxs. This is what we do and we will do it right for you.
Please also let us know if you have any comments or suggestions.Thanks, Jim
WOW, I don't think I've had such good customer service, at least not that I can remember! Most companies would be like "Oh, sorry about that case we sent you last month, it probably left marks allover your device,sorry, but we can't do anything".

I know, I'm shocked too. Question: you just ordered the one case in your OP, right?
I ask because I ordered TWO cases from this seller. The one you did, plus the $12.99 smart case they came out with on Sunday. I wanted to make sure that this email was about the first case, not the second one (or both).
I am really shocked that they would have gone so far to help their customers for something that cost $6.99 shipped. I was actually going to return that case, since I got the better one, but I think I'm going to keep it just out of support of the seller.

Has anyone got any of these generic dot view cases?

Are they good? They're even advertised as "Genuine" for $7~8, but without the HTC logo at front / back.
Ebay link
Note: Yes, we know that not everybody likes the dot view case.

Here's the one with the HTC logo for a few bucks more.
Personally, I think it's the same exact piece of plastic. One just has a logo and a steeper price.

Guess what bro, those aren't genuine either even if they say so. If you look at the pics you'll notice that some don't have the htc logo
I have the genuine gray, I bought it when I've got the phone, but I'm curious about the quality of the ones they're selling for $8, that's it.
To be honest they look exactly the same but I would like a closer look. Sellers in Amazon claim that they're identical to the genuine with the exception of the logo.

I always stay away from unbranded stuff, but these called my attention because they look identical and there are more colors available
Don't put a 10cent case on a $600 phone.....spend the money on a genuine case.

Weirdly I got one on eBay for about 9$ sold as authentic and I figured why not get one to check out how much I like it and it was HTC branded. Although that could be faked.

I had an original dot view case that I purchased the week the M8 came out. I accidentally ripped the front from the back trying to stretch it to go over my glass screen protector. Back in July I purchased this one, http://www.ebay.com/itm/291190318285.
It doesn't say HTC and obviously an overseas knockoff. In my opinion it's much, much nicer than the OEM version. It will flip open all the way back easily and isn't near as springy. It also works with my .3mm glass screen protector, http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6100440084.html.

Don't use one of these cases for protection period. I can almost state with certainty that if you drop your phone on any kind of solid surface, it will definitely come flying out of these cases. In fact, if you clumsily open the case to fast the device will come flying out sometimes. That is in the original from Verizon. They offer some screen protection while in pockets or bags, but little to no drop protection & even in bags, the top & bottom of the device is not protected from scratches.
It was a little more than I remembered but it's 13$ http://www.ebay.com/itm/221503424128?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
The pictures are of mine.
Beyond that I agree with the post above mine, the dot view case is very functional as an accessory but as a protector it's useless it pops out so easily.

I ordered this one last night and hope to see it in the mail sometime next week.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/12142505686...49&var=420362064890&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
And I also agree with the two previous posts. I bout the official case back in June and two weeks ago, it fell on a carpeted space and the phone flew out of it as well as the corners that secure the phone popping off. Since I enjoyed the functionality of the case, I ordered the above since spending $40.00 for something HTC will not stand behind (I tried to get them to replace it but was told they would not) was not something I was willing to do again.
I will report back pnce I get it.
I had the fake one with logo and the real deal case I got from a Verizon store. Felt the fake with the logo was just as good. So went to return the real deal case at Verizon. Turns out I mistakenly packaged the fake one and returned that one to Verizon(honest mistake). I had no idea until later when I took my One out of my csndyshell case and popped it in the dot view....So while I didn't mean to do that, I ended up with the real deal case. But honestly the fake one closed better than the real one. That is how close they are.
I'm on the Dot View case fence. I really like the concept but the reviews I've read have kept me from picking one up. Does the flap "loosen up" for lack of a better term after using it over time. What I mean is when open and flipped to the back does it start loosing it's springness that people complain about. I like hearing that the generic's seem just as good as the one from htc. I may just have to pick one up at the lower price.
I had an authentic one, and then recently bought one of those non-authentic ones.
As a direct comparison, they both look the same, but the quality is different. particularly, the dots' translucent level is very uneven, so you'll get random brighter vs darker patches
on the authentic one, all dots have consistent translucency
OME or Knock-off, I wish that someone would come out with one that snaps on decently (even if it used double-sided tape) and maybe wrapped in leather. The plastic makes the phone feel so cheap! I had the original. I have since misplaced it since I got a cheap otterbox knock off for now. Does the job, but I do miss the DotView for the cool factor.

I have an OEM Dot View case and love it. I spent about $15 for it on Amazon. HTC also updated Dot View to add more functionality. And I was surprised yesterday by the Halloween animations. I'm very impressed by it and glad I got it.
SoI received my case today in the mail and here are my findings:
1. The case closes just as well as the OEM one I had.
2. The plastic case itself feels a bit thinner that the OEM one but I like that since I felt the OEM one was a bit too thick and added bulk to the phone.
The "Seams are not as smooth as the OEM but I am going to try and use a nail file and see if I can't fix that my self
4. The "Springiness" of the hinge that is in the OEM is not present in this case as it was in the OEM
5. The cover does not lay flat on the back of the case when opened all the way but I think that is just due to the design of the case.
6. The case seeme to snap onto the phone as well as the OEM case did.
To me, the $8.00 I spent on this case is totally worth it. As a matter of fact, I might order myself a second one to have different colors to chose from. If you think about it, for the price of one OEM you can get 6 of these in different colors and still have $2 and change left over!
I posted some pics of the case but it's hard to see any details.
Hope this helps you guys make a choice.

Bought this snap cover from ebay

Comes in multiple colors. Seller is awesome. Should protect against scratches from bumps and the problem areas of the watch. It wasn't as bulky as I thought. I got the black one. He sent me a white glow in the dark one because of a shipping delay of no fault of his. The white one wasnt my cup of tea but the black rocks. You do have to remove it to charge. It clips on pretty good. Im surprised i havent seen it mentioned here with all the sanding and such. The groves are not nearly as pronounced as the picture shows. Mine was smoother which i liked. Great with a screen protector for scratch protection. Hopefully the picture uploads otherwise his ebay name is archer28.
One more real picture. sorry about the second post
Thanks for sharing. What a coincidence. I was just searching for something similar and I found this post.
Could you pls share the ebay link?
Cheers.
i found him by typing in lg g watch r case on ebay. his name is archer28. he said he would be listing more next week. tell him Jeremiah sent you. i thought it was a great idea so we were chating back and forth a bit. great guy. said he was taking a break this week. i told him i was gonna post on xda so im sure more will be listed. large range of colors also
It's 3D printed, possibly designed by himself.
My only gripe is that you gotta remove it before charging. I can see me doing that each time I come home from work.
It's not on his eBay yet, but I'm eager to purchase it if the price is right
it was under 10 bucks. i think for me its more of an accessory where i wouldnt always use it but its perfect for those times where you would be hesitant to wear the watch or worry about it because of it getting damaged. its really easy to remove so its really not a big deal to remove before charging. keep checking next week or drop him a quick email through ebay. im positive more are coming and he took a break this week

Yea i use the cover all the time with no damage to the watch yet with it on. i just snap it off to charge. it isnt perfect but a pretty darn good solution. i dont want to sand mine or damage it while it has a warranty. eventually if they do a holiday sale i may get the huawei watch.
ive got 2 of these for a 360 great fit and protection
have 3 coming for the gwatch r
guys in VA like mysef
Any sellers anywhere??

You could try to reach out to him and see when the next run is: http://www.ebay.com/usr/archer28
I been buying these from him for a while now ordered 3 so far because I keep losing them there great tho and great price! His father just died tho so he shut down for a while an eBay message he sent me said. hopefully he comes back because he is the only guy with this on eBay right now with watch covers.
Just bought this idk how a owner of this watch could live without this .. Seller was even nice enough to send me a red one .. Must buy

I agree. I got the orange one and found a strap band and watch face to match.
Is possible buy a cover? Because in eBay its ended?
