    Cases for 2nd Gen Moto X

    +1 on the DuroCase, I was having the same issues as Nate WRT grip, rocking etc. It solved all the issues mentioned and I really like the kickstand, mine also came with a wand, which actually comes in handy if your hands are dirty or just for general use.

    Having second thoughts on a curved back phone

    Just wanted to give a quick update, I ended up going with this case: http://www.amazon.com/DuroCase-Motorola-Moto-Kickstand-Bumper/dp/B00PWYQFOY/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A2TVN9999W35N6 The back pattern is not too gaudy, I did not get a custom back, so I did not mind covering it up. It solves...

    Having second thoughts on a curved back phone

    Thanks, that is exactly what I'm looking for, I'm now trying to see if they make it with just a plain color or clear back, no disrespect to Vincent

    Having second thoughts on a curved back phone

    Good point, I'm coming a Razr M with no camera bulge and a completely flat back, so it will just take some getting used to.

    Having second thoughts on a curved back phone

    Just to follow up, does anyone know of a case for the X that has a flip up stand that might alleviate this issue?

    Having second thoughts on a curved back phone

    Had my Moto X for about a week, really like it so far except for one issue. This is my first phone with a curved back, and while it feels nice to hole, it makes it virtually impossible to use it when it's laid down on a table, it will just spin at the slightest swipe. Of course this is obvious...

    Are the back cover user replaceable?

    That's a good point. I wonder if this problem is more prevalent with the naked clear case, or is it just that with the clear back, you tend to see the dirt & want to try to clean it out. With an opaque case, you don't see the dirt unless you actually remove it.

    Are the back cover user replaceable?

    How exactly did the Case Mate actually screw up your back. I just ordered the Case Mate for my X, seems to have gotten pretty good reviews, but now I'm having second thoughts about using it if this is a common problem.

    Tasker vs Moto Assist

    Hi all, I will be purchasing a Moto X soon. I was wondering if anyone who was using Tasker has abandoned it in favor of Moto Assist. I am currently running Tasker on my Razr M and really like it. I have several profiles and have gotten comfortable creating new profiles & tasks (I'm a...

    Moto X 2014 difference between unlocked verizon phone & pure edition

    Re: difference between unlocked verizon phone & pure edition So, still trying to understand what value anyone would see in getting the Verizon unlocked (unsubsidized) moto-x phone for other than not being locked into a 2-year contract. If you are reasonably sure you will still be with Verizon...

    Moto X 2014 difference between unlocked verizon phone & pure edition

    Re: difference between unlocked verizon phone & pure edition Ok, thanks, that sucks, I'm stuck w/Verizon because we dumped all our land lines & Verizon is the only one that has a good enough signal where we live. I wonder if there are any plans for a pure version that supports the Verizon...

    Moto X 2014 difference between unlocked verizon phone & pure edition

    Re: difference between unlocked verizon phone & pure edition Thanks, but according to the website, if I select "unlocked without a contract" it will show three choices of full price phones, GSM Unlocked Pure for ATT/T-Mobile, and two "Carrier Choices", ATT and Verizon, also at full price. So...

    Moto X 2014 difference between unlocked verizon phone & pure edition

    I've walked through the order form of the moto-maker website & am wondering about the difference between the unlocked Verizon phone and the pure edition, other than the difference in the carrier. From my understanding, the pure edition is free of carrier bloatware & branding, but does that mean...

    Moto X 2014 are folks happy with their ebony backs

    Hi all, I will be upgrading my Moto RAZR M for a Moto-X soon. I had settled on black front with an ebony back based on the pics on the moto-maker website, but after seeing some of the ebony backs folks have received in the "show me your designs" thread I'm having second thoughts. None of them...
