Mophie Moto Mod in the works?

[sangs]

When registering for updates about the Hasselblad camera mod, I noticed this photo on the Moto site. Interesting.

mophie seems to deal with batteries and charging - a new battery mod?

Would be nice if it were an anti-spam/bloatware mod that only allowed you to remove any/all things from your phone.

I have a feeling it may be a thicker, higher capacity battery than the Incipio.

Judging by the picture it appears to be 2x the size of the Incipio and tumi packs. Looking at the camera area

I'm beginning to think my fears that the Moto Mod line wouldn't be well represented were quite misguided.

Wow, that looks enormous. I have the Z Force and the Incipio already makes the phone really heavy. This looks like it will be significantly bigger. Wonder what capacity it will add and whether it will add any functionality.

Could be just what Pokemon Go players dream of...

Hopefully it allows for charging off of the phone, as well as wireless charging.

My guess is 3000-3500 mah. But the real question for me is pricing.

I wouldn't mind seeing a case+battery.

^That seems like a good guess on size. I think the price will be pretty high, especially considering you can get the Incipio 2200mah one from Motorola for 59.99, I can see the Mophie being more in the 85-95 dollar range.

I wish someone would make a 1000mah battery mod. The Force doesn't need 3000mah.

Considering it's Mophie, I would be surprised to see more than one model with different capacities.

I'm just juiced (see what I did there?) to know that other manufacturers are making Mods.

Um. Is that a bumper case too?

Now that u mention it it does appear to have some sort of bumper case on it also, might be Mophie or maybe a Verizon one?

It's not the Verizon one. The Verizon one is gloss, not matte, and has ridges on the corners.

Yeah, also missing that long tab on the back, at the bottom, that everyone has had to cut off, lol.

I'm much more excited for the bumper than the mod!

It's the Moto Z Play too.

It's the Moto Z Play too.

Frack, you're right...

Hope they have one for the Z Force!

The matte bumper does look nicer than the glossy black one on my Zf
