Top products from r/MotoX

I do not. I can, however, definitively say that this is the best (non-permanent) mount you can buy out there: iOttie Easy OneTouch 2

It can attach directly to your dashboard, even on uneven and cureved surfaces. I know this first hand; the suction cup is patented and amazing.

If you're looking for something small that easily tucks out of the way, I have the iOttie EasyFlex 2 in my car. When I'm not using it it folds on itself and looks like a small hockey puck.

Seriously, they're amazing and super simple to use.

I'd only recommend the Hint if you've come to rely on BT ear buds. The X is very functional with "whip-right-out-of-your-pocket" functionality thanks to active display turning on and deep listening ready to go.

The car dock I bought is a U-grip for ten bucks. It's not perfect, but it certainly holds my device in place with absolutely no slippage, and the rotation ball on the dock is adjustable which is nice. Easy to remove.

If I can upsell you on car crap, the Kinivo bluetooth car unit in particular supports AptX as do Moto products! No quality compromise versus AUX IN... ditch the wires in your car! I mounted the controller low and can pause and skip in a very comfortable position where the unit is hidden-- honestly, don't know how I went so long with something so dang convenient.

If you are splurging, the turbo charger is cool. For when you've got no plugs, a powerbank is nice. Other than power and cord management, this phone takes away a lot of necessity for accessories.

I wanted the exact same things as you. I loved the hula bumper except that it was so expensive and I wanted more protection out of a case, so after awhile online looking at cases I got the SUP CASE unicorn beetle series (black/clear version) :

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00N3VHD6C/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1418917369&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

Now I can tell you after months of a use that this thing is seriously your best option. Ive dropped my phone 3 times and in pretty bad spots, yet I have no damage whatsoever to my Moto X. Its super slim, light and strong. It keeps the original look and feel of your X but keeps it safe. I would like to add that it keeps the Moto dimple uncovered so that you can use it. Overall I would say this case is one of your best options especially for the price.

+1 for Hula case. That's what I have on mine and it's great. It's just slightly thicker on the back than I would want but otherwise I like it.

I will also highly recommend the Unicorn Beetle Supcase (http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Unicorn-Motorola-Release-Premium/dp/B00N3VHD6C) as I used it on my moto x 1st gen and it was good. I wish the back were a bit clearer on it tho.

Someone recommended Aduro U-GRIP in another thread and I like it. I wish the Moto X had the ability to use Qi charging like the N5 because the magnetic mounts are very easy to use. The U-GRIP is strong and doesn't move. I live in New England and deal with lot of frost heaves and pot holes and sometimes you can't avoid them all and the phone doesn't budge when I hit one.

I'm on my third case, including two mentioned in the comments. This is by far the nicest combination of slim ,protections and looks. It feels great n the hand also - just enough grip without being sticky. It is actually easier to use phone one handed now as I don't constantly feel like it's slipping out my hand ( was going naked with leather previously).

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017RYYDHW/ref=s9_al_bw_g107_i1

I have the Diztronic one and it fits like a glove! It's super cheap and a really good quality case. I think anyone whos ever had a Diztronic case in the past can agree they make good, simple, TPU cases.

I just got the Poetic Flip-Book a few weeks ago, and so far I like it. It's not leather, but it's "leather-like", and it's pretty thin. It protects it pretty well, and covers the screen, which is why I got it.

http://www.amazon.com/Aukey-Charger-Adapter-AIPower-Included/dp/B00LJT2EPK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1449082385&sr=8-3&keywords=aukey+quick+charger - I bought this car charger and it works great. It'll TurboCharge it and everything. My phone ends up being about 50% by the time I'm done with work, so I use this on my commute home (about 30+ mins) and it charges it up almost to 100% by the time I get home.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013HSQXZC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 - Bought this for travel. It's a little bit finicky, like sometimes it won't say "TurboCharge Connected" when you first plug it in, but unplugging and replugging usually does the trick. Definitely doesn't charge as fast as the car quick charger, or the included AC adapter, but it still seems to charge at a pretty decent rate, easily the fastest I've seen out of any battery pack I've ever used.

I've been using the Incipio Protective since getting my Pure in Oct last year. I am pleased with it; it does however add a great deal of bulk to the phone, but I work outdoors a good bit and this has taken quite a few falls without issue. It is not water proof, but its heavily rubberized and with a nice glass screen protector it might work out fine.

https://smile.amazon.com/Incipio-Protective-Dualpro-Case-Style/dp/B0119SNIC8/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1467636469&sr=1-1&keywords=Incipio+Protective%2C+Dualpro+Case+for+Moto+X+Pure+Edition%2FMoto+X+Style+-+Retail+Packaging+-+Black

I personally have yet to drop my 2015 Pure knocks on wood but there have been quite a few horror stories on this sub as well as on XDA with relatively minor drops causing catastrophic screen failure. Many claim short drop heights that render the screen digitizer completely useless and thus the phone useless.

I went a week with no case and although the phone fits the hand great with the curved back the increased size (I came from a 2013 X) had me worried about an accidental drop when transitioning my grip with one hand like when I have to reach for the notification shade, etc.

I ended up buying a [Supcase Unicorn] (http://www.amazon.com/Edition-SUPCASE-Unicorn-Protective-Motorola/dp/B0154AQ3QK) case which I also ran on my 2013 X with great success. I also added a [Pleson screen protector] (http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Motorola-Tempered-Protectors-Pure-Lifetime/dp/B015SMYSZM/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1449505113&sr=1-1&keywords=moto+x+pure+screen+protector+glass). If anything, it gives me some peace of mind that when (never an IF, always a WHEN) a drop occurs the phone has a better chance of surviving than if I ran it completely naked.

You don't want to know how many car mounts I've tried. :D (more than a dozen, I assure you).

Right now I have a hybrid mount, build from a head piece of Arkon and a mount piece of an iOttie.

The Arkon mount is a 4-point (two up, two down) grip mount that does not cover up any ports or any buttons, unlike the iOttie OneTouch mount, which covers up the side buttons.

The base of the iOttie, however, is a much better base with extendible arm giving a couple extra inches of reach. So I combined the best features of both into a single car dock.

http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-Smartphone-Midsize-Tablet-Samsung/dp/B00JCW8D38

http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Holder-iPhone-Samsung-G4-Retail/dp/B00JRGOKQ8

Yeah they are $20 then $10.20 to ship! I almost bought one but instead picked up http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N3VHD6C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Awesome case by the way. Got it for $20 with next day shipping. Not exactly a bumper but the back is clear and very thin.

I'm currently in love with this mount: http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Holder-iPhone-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00JRGOKQ8

It let's you 360° rotate, swivel, extend the arm thing, and has a little flap thing that you push down to secure the mount to most textures on your car. Also, it has a stickyish bottom padding that can be cleaned with water in case it loses grip.

All you have to do to install the phone is open the gate thing, place your phone, & it snaps automatically for a secured fit.

I've used diztronic tpu cases in the past (on my s3) and it was great. Currently I have a SupCase on my MotoX and i love it.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E8GQEQ6/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_ZtuZtb0FPFAPR808

It's a very solid and tight fitting construction/design. The "bars" on the back allow the phone to lay flat on the table and not rock back and forth due to the curved back, which is something I didn't know I wanted until I had it. I highly recommend it. This case takes a beating too. I was trying to take my phone from my pocket and flung it into a very hard floor and it just bounced.

That's for the 2013 model bud. The pics and the pricing justify the model. Also under specs it mentions Moto X rather than Moto X 2nd Gen. Read this post for info on Moto X 2014 cases. If you want an Otterbox then check their site.

I myself own a SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Series and its one solid case that offers maximum protection without any cost on size/sturdiness. If you want something similar to the Otterbox Defender try the SUPCASE Unicorn Heavy Duty Series. Either way you can't go wrong and I highly recommend that case. If you have any questions feel free to comment or pm me.

Just know that for every negative post in this sub, there are likely thousands of happy users.

My 32GB MXPE has been great from the day I bought it in December 2015. It's my daily driver and has run everything smooth and without issue. It fell in the toilet last month which caused the screen and other components to fail. After researching the latest offerings for about 3 days, I opted to replace it with the 64GB version from B&H Photo for $270. Couldn't be happier!

Nougat will come soon enough and once the warranty expires I suggest unlocking the bootloader and trying out some stable roms from the community (AICP, CyanogenMod, etc.).

Edit: To answer some of your other questions...

Screen Protector: As others have mentioned the screen has curved edges which means glass protectors almost never adhere properly. For plastic, I prefer matte anti-glare protectors. It gives the screen a grainier appearance which I prefer to high gloss. Depending on where you're located, you can score a 6 pack of glossy or matte protectors from Amazon right now for about $2:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01312JWI4/

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01312A6Q6/

Accessories: If you want a minimal black case, I recommend either of these inexpensive options:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B017RYYDHW/

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B016826YAI/

Finally, you might also want to grab a car charger with quick charge support from AliExpress. I think I paid $10 CAD for mine there.

This one works in full "turbo" mode just like the original:


Motorola TurboPower OEM Super Fast Rapid Charger for Droid Turbo 2,Maxx 2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01884O0XW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_psTGyb17Q7W5R

I hate to put a case on my new Moto X but having the Wireless Charging would be nice.
I'm thinking of using it with this case...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NVPOSVS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2HOCXU5SC35JO

I hope that it doesn't disturb the microphone on the back in any way. Would you happen to know what that little mic on the bottom is for? is it just noise cancellation for phone calls or used when recording a video or something?

I wanted to be safe because I can tend to be clumsy, so I got the armor shield screen protector. A little more complex than most screen protectors, but any small scratches you get in it it buffs out by itself, and can be taken off and cleaned and then reapplied, if you keep the kit. Also very good at keeping the screen slick and smooth. Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00E5QKHOY?pc_redir=1404707531&robot_redir=1

EDIT: It's also apparently the cheapest it's ever been on Amazon right now.

I use the ArmorSuit protectors. It's a wet application, but I've gotten fairly good at applying those. I usually get Zaggs, but it sounds like their protectors are a smidge too narrow and doesn't cover the whole screen.

I love my Supcase Has the dimple. Doesn't add bulk. Has protected my phone from so many dings scuffs and drops.

This is what I would get. It provides good protection, you can still see your custom design, and it's half the cost of an otter box. I love mine, it adds hardly any bulk to the phone.

I just bought a power pack 3000 (3000mAh) for $9 on amazon, but it's not mini like this one is. If you're more interested in the capacity than the size and features, then this is a much better deal. Http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00PIVY7E6/ref=pd_aw_sbs_2?pi=AC_SX230_QL60

Sorry, I don't know markdown.

This is the case I have, in Blue
http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Unicorn-Motorola-Release-Premium/dp/B00N3VHD6C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1419066095&sr=8-2&keywords=moto+x+supcase&pebp=1419066101739

It feels great, has already seen a few drops and has good grippyness when held.

I have the PNY U3 Turbo Performance 64GB (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W77C1QU/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_VDFzwbZ4KPW6A). It works great and also records 4k without issues. Another one to look at would be the Samsung Pro which is better in my opinion.

If it has an aux port, I recommend this thing if she listens to music in the car. Very convenient and works great, and much cheaper than a head unit upgrade.

The case I have is the Moto X Case, SUPCASE [Unicorn Beetle Series]

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00N3VHD6C

Slim, compact, strong, fits well and is clear so you can still see the funky back of my phone

http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Matte-Back-Flexible-Model/dp/B00NVPOSVS3

It's a really sleek case and fits like a glove. Also feels great

I just started using the SanDisk Ultra 80MB/s. 64gb for $22 felt like a great deal
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-microSDXC-Standard-Packaging-SDSQUNC-064G-GN6MA/dp/B010Q588D4/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1457469993&sr=1-2&keywords=SanDisk+Ultra+64GB+microSDXC+UHS-I+Card

The Moto x pure has a standard micro USB port. You can connect it to your computer with a cable like this. If you want to move files straight to a flash drive you need an USB otg cable like this.

I'm really in need of a good case that protects against drops. Just to make sure, is this the one you're referring to?

Buy one of these, Supcase.

All of them have a see-through back cover(except the pure black/black one) and they have good grip and fixes all your slipping problems, I just got mine yesterday.

Choose which one you want. Frost Clear/Black goes with anything, as does just regular old Frost Clear, but that one is too plain and...milky white for me. On the other hand you could just do Black/Black for blackness or choose one of those color options.

2 Moto X's I'm currently holding, the black one and one of the blue ones(Navy I think). While the black one has a softer fabric feel and the blue one is more plastic, they both slip sometimes. I'd say go with one of these cases.

I'd like for it to finally recognize the bluetooth in my car.

Maybe it's because I don't use a built-in bluetooth, but instead I have one of those plug-it-into-the-car's power port ones (Kinivo BTC-450, I hightly recommend it for older cars)..

It pairs/connects fine and puts the car into driving mode once I hit 15 mph, but it still doesn't list my BTC-450 as one of "Devices associated with driving".

Supcase makes a nice one. It's out of stock on Amazon right now though. The back is frosted clear so you can sort of see the color of the back of your phone. http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00N3VHD6C

I'm paranoid about causing any damage to my my pure, which I've already scuffed on the edge before my case came in.
I first went with a TPU case from Amazon for 8 dollars. I Hated the feel of that that case, do not recommend.


Ended up going with an Incipio case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0119SNIC8/ref=mp_s_a_1_sc_1?qid=1449554485&sr=8-1-spell&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=Incision+moto+x+pure


I like the way this cases material feels, but it does make the phone feel noticeably larger. I can still use it one handed, and I feel like I don't have very much larger than average hands. I'm happy with the space and durability it provides though.

This case by Poetic isn't too bad. Has two slots. Works great for card+ID.

I just put the Monoy brand one on my phone a few hours ago. It seems okay, I guess. It feels nice, went on easy, and doesn't seem to smudge all that much. There is a bit of an edge between the screen and the bezel that I can see gathering dust, but oh well. Sorry I can't give a more thorough review!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ALV0V4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01

Works great for me. It's a little tight on my V10, but should be ok for the Pure.

Go for a UH 3 class 10 card to get the best performance.

This seems to be what everyone is recommending
PNY U3 Turbo Performance 64GB High Speed MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-I, up to 90MB/sec Flash Card (P-SDUX64U390G-GE) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W77C1QU/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_GyEywbDZXZCNS

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015SMYSZM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This one worked great for me

I have the Diztronic case and it's my favorite phone case at any price, for $10 I love it. I've had OtterBox and Mophie cases, but they didn't feel right and added too much bulk so I left them in a drawer most of the time.

PNY doesnt make their own cards

It has an accompanying mental image I can't be rid of.



Did you get anything engraved on the back? And I hope you don't have the SuperUnicorn Beetle

I have this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0119SNIC8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_7yvByb78GVR67 which provides good protection and is decent looking.

This one actually works well, or at least better than most. Take a look at the customer images.

The Supcase Unicorn Beetle seems to be popular

I have always used Diztronic cases; on my 2013 and on my Pure. Like the way they handle covering the buttons without making them mushy to pres.

I like Diztronic's cases. Not too bulky, basic single layer TPU protection. https://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Matte-Slim-Fit-Flexible-Motorola/dp/B017RYYDHW

I have this Aduro U-Grip installed near my rear-view mirror, which I've had for nearly a year.

It stays put, grips hard, and I've clipped it in one-handed, which is nice.

I use this in my car and this for work/travel and they both charge quickly. The second one is currently out of stock but the build and functionality of the brand is fairly good. It fiddles around for the first five seconds saying TurboPower connected/disconnected but stays charging afterwards. Plus, you can get good deals on both of those with the offers underneath them.

Edit: Have been using both since November with no problems.

This is the original charger. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01884O0XW/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_BqQFzbD4A25KN

Ok then. I'll chose between yours and this one.

This is the one I've been using - it's pretty great, slightly slower than the stock charger but connects as turbopower and it charges quickly.

I use this for music. Also has a USB port on top.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009NLTW60/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/187-9059735-6789851

Plug a USB mouse into your phone via this device and use the mouse to control your phone and upload your stuff to Drive or Dropbox.

Amazon is selling the OEM charging brick.

I ordered this one. https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-TurboPower-Super-Rapid-Charger/dp/B01884O0XW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1484258099&sr=8-2&keywords=moto+x+pure+turbo+charger. It's coming Saturday, I'll report back on if it's the OEM one or not.

Also seems to be on Amazon for $8.99 with Prime shipping. Not quite as good a deal, but also of note.

Monoy made a dirt cheap one that still sits on my '13 X to this day, minimal scratches. Place it correctly, and the bottom of the protector sits just above that lip at the bottom of the phone, covers pretty close to the edges. No discernible impact to screen sensitivity.

For the X 2014, I recommend at least a bumper. The screen sticks out a bit from the body of the phone and if you drop it on one of the corners, the screen will shatter, even with a screen protector.

I use the Diztronic TPU case. It's slim and covers the corners. It fixes the two biggest problems with the phone for me. An unprotected moto X has vulnerable corners, like I've said before, and it is too slick without a case, making it much easier to drop.

Keep in mind considering the device is a "24 Hour mixed use" battery, that means somewhere around the 33% mark will be 8 hours.

Charging percentages also will depend on the temp of the device, it won't charge too fast if the device gets hot.

Not sure which one you got, but I use the Tenergy Wall Charger and it charges as per expectations.

It would get stuck at 30% whenever I would try to format it on my phone. Apparently it's a common issue that other people are having and it seems to be with SanDisk cards.

I ended up returning it and getting this card instead, no issues so far: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W77C1QU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00

SanDisk. Also I should mention that the process gets stuck at 30 percent when formatting for internal and 20% for portable. I'll attach a screenshot of the error here soon.

I have been using Diztronic cases for my last 3 phones and I love them. I've had the Moto X Pure case for about 3 months now. They are small and not bulky, lightweight, and flexible but still provide enough protection to elevate the screen when placing the phone screen down and enough corner protection from an average height drop. (I dropped my phone for the first time on concrete and this is the only visible damage on one of the corners.)

I bought this and this for mine a few months ago and I haven't had any issues. The phone's fallen several times on concrete and no damage.
