    Moto X: Incipio offGrid Battery Case 2400 mAh

    >>since the Moto X battery is non-removable, your example is worthless<< Not really. If the Incipio is internal, then there is no choice: you need to carry it all the time. Since you agree that it's external, then we do have choices. You can choose to have it attached all the time for the...

    Moto X: Incipio offGrid Battery Case 2400 mAh

    >> It's not the kind of event that lends itself to carrying chargers or external battery packs<< The case IS a an external battery/charger. You use it to charge the Moto X once in a long long time (in my case a full day). But for that occasional use, you are giving your hand some extra burden...

    Cases for the Moto X

    Many of the most beautiful (and expensive) paintings in the world are in the hands of private collectors. Do you think all those paintings are displayed in plain view so the owners can enjoy their extraordinary beauty? Let't say some are framed on the walls in the owners' residences, do you...

    Moto X: Incipio offGrid Battery Case 2400 mAh

    That's why I took it off after a few days. For daily use, the original battery is sufficient. For those thinking about buying it: you can get an external battery for half the price. Use it and you get about one day of use. Why carry the extra burden all the time?

    Cases for the Moto X

    I prefer flip case, because it protects the screen. The one I got looks nice, doesn't add much to the bulk, and is cheap. Luxury Flip Leather Case Wallet Pouch Cover for Motorola Moto x New M1 | eBay

    Moto X: Incipio offGrid Battery Case 2400 mAh

    I had one on my Moto X, but took it off after just a couple of days. I intend to keep it and use it when traveling out of town. For my daily routine, the original battery is sufficient.

    Moto X: Incipio offGrid Battery Case 2400 mAh

    Re: Mugen Power 2800mAh Battery Case for the Moto X I must say that it's not that obvious that the case is in two parts. I thought it was in one piece, and tried to force the Moto X into the upper bumper (darn it, I need to check if I put some scratches to the body of the phone).

    Re: Mugen Power 2800mAh Battery Case for the Moto X Thanks for the tip about giving sku # to the staff. Just picked one up while traveling out of state to a bigger city than my own.

    Moto X: Anyone else care less about the One (M8) and Galaxy S5?

    Re: Anyone else care less about the new HTC and s5 ? I would be more interested in Sony Xperia Z2 (5.2" full HD, 4K video recording, sd card, 3200 mAh, waterproof) or Z Ultra (6.44" full HD, sd card, 3050 mAh, waterproof).

    Moto X: Use included T-Mobile SIM on $30 plan? (GSM Unlocked Model)

    Even if it doesn't work, you can go to Walmart and purchase a cheap phone that can use this plan (I bought one for less than $30), and use the sim inside to register. That's what I did for my Nokia phone.
