No, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't mean the actual camera hump would change, I meant that the taper around the camera hump in the newer mods is oblong in shape. Look at the two attached pictures. You can see that the new JBL is obviously oblong in shape, whereas the old one obviously is round. This seems consistent with the fact that if there are two cameras positioned further apart, then the taper would need to widen too so the cameras don't "see" the edge of the mod.

I have no doubt that the new mod will work on the old phone, but the camera results may be undesirable, that's all. There's a reason they made that oblong on the new JBL.

I've also attached a sketch to hopefully illustrate the differences.

Thanks for the clarification.

That would mean that new mods would be fine on older phones, but a risk of old mods obscuring the view on newer phones. I could see that happening.

So this Mod is supposed to be available from Motorola on July 10th, and Best Buy on the 31st, I think. I am very much looking forward to this upcoming Monday!

Make mine black!

I bought the black one and used the Moto Z owners discount code I got from Motorola to save 35%. Here is the code I used: MOTOMODS35

YOU MAGNIFICENT BEAST!! I just used it too, I thought it expired on June 30! Saved me $35 on the Soundboost 2 and the silver oak shell, you did! *high 5!*

Anyone receive theirs yet and try it out? Curious to hear a user opinion. My original Soundboost still works great, but considering buying a new one just as a "want it" item.

Anyone having issues with the site to submit for the promotion? Doesn't appear to be working at the moment. I'll try later in the morning.
