What email did you use to contact them? We should all send them a request.

I used the one from their website. We could see who would be interested and let them know. Would be awesome if they would make one.
I just emailed them again and ask if we can get a list of potential pre-orders or possible customers if they would reconsider. I'll update when I hear anything. Here's the contact if y'all want to try and persuade them.

It's funny - I just found this forum. I had been using the quick link on the home page to go to the Moto Z forum, which has a Moto Z Droid edition sub-forum. I never knew there was a Force edition specific forum.
So, I had to learn the hard way about the bumper case flaw. It took me a while to figure out why my chargers stopped working, since the USB-C port is so much stouter than the micro-USB, it felt like it was still making a good connection when I plugged in.
I also ended up cutting out the bottom of the case as others have highlighted and all my cables started working again. Which was a relief as this is the only solution I've seen that gives protection for the edges and also allows mods to be connected.

Same boat. I caved and bought the Verizon bumper. It literally broke my blue Incipio style back. When I plugged in the USB-C cable, it pressed on that useless broad tongue that sticks up from the bottom rear of the bumper, which caused the style back to shift upward toward the top of the phone. The top left corner of the style back snagged on the corresponding corner of the bumper, torqued, and caused the corner of the style back to peel away, revealing the magnet inside.
Really struggling to find an adequate, thin case solution for this phone (most are too bulky, the thin TPU ones all seem to have a cut out that exposes the contact array on the back, and the bumper doesn't actually work with the style backs).

It's really unfortunate that the VZW bumper requires modification, but it really does work very well once it's modified.

I emailed evolutionlabs again to see if they would reconsider making a bumper if I could get a interest list
Response:
Hello Brandon,
Unfortunately, we are currently too busy to produce a bumper for that device
We wish we had the time to focus on more Android Devices but we are still a bit too small as a company. Doing one bumper is very heavy on our design team.However we will do our best to grow enough to be able to do the next Motorola phones next year
Sorry for the bad news
Best regards,

Unfortunate, because one of their bumpers would be perfect.

Just ordered a clear bumper from Verizon Friday and it came in today and works right out of the box with the charger. No modification need.
The black bumper I bought back on release day needed to be modified.
They must have fixed the design flaw.
The charger opening is much bigger on the new clear one.

Interesting. I know the modification isn't a big deal but I wonder if t could trade the black one for the clear one.

No. The tab does not go out over the back of the phone like on the first black one I have.
Here are pictures of both side by side.
