Amazon have price matched CPW for the Moto X force 32gb. Great for anyone with Prime not to mention Amazon's customer service.

Still in stock
If voting cold please explain why.
On a side note, this is an absolute steal for the specs

No one has to explain their votes. I voted HOT but I'll never tell you why.

Probably because a variation of this same deal has been posted a few times

8 Feb 161#3
I get that but I have posted a deal that has not been posted. HUKD is about sharing deals with our community, people may prefer purchasing from Amazon over CPW hence why I shared the deal.

Well deserved heat.
I am so tempted as I have £50 of Amazon credit to use up.
It's in my basket right now...
It's just that shatterproof screen picking up little scratches that has put me off.
Only twelve in stock as I look now, please somebody buy them all and save me some money

It was down to 9 left ten minutes ago, now back up to 12...
If you get a glass protector, make sure it is one of the new ultra thin flexi glass ones - the normal glass protectors that other suppliers are selling will lift in the upper and lower corners.
I bought two before I read the droid turbo 2 forum explaining this :disappointed:

Have read that some of the popular ones cover the camera or flash ? I used to always have issues fixing screen protectors in the past. I hate fuss, that's why I like the Moto's...usually.
Also just read it doesn't have an FM radio, which the other Motos do (I actually use FM Radio alot, saves battery and data) so those two issues has allowed me to say no to me.
oos glad as bought mine from cpw I think would have got students discount on this. oh so that's why my glass protector doesn't sit right. seller tried to say it was my fault it had lifted on the top and bottom edge. if it doesn't work they shouldn't be selling them and then blaming customers for not fitting them correctly

Yes you are right - if you absolutely have to listen to music/audio from your phone speakers and annoy everyone within 50ft - then stereo speakers are a must.
I mean, what were motorola thinking! :smiley:

You can't get stereo imaging from speakers as close together as they are on a phone.

Yes, and this is possibly the first phone I've seen where you can dropkick it and it still lives, it can take brutal thrashing, which is excellent as you'll be glad of it when you use the hideous Android OS on it.

Yes, I am having a dialogue with an ebay seller at the moment :smile: - normal glass ones will not work, not unless they are super sticky or more flexible than normal.
My new flexible ones have been dispatched, so I will update when they arrive.

A modern tempered glass screen protector using silicone bonding is extremely easy to fit without any chance of bubbles. I use an EasyAcc branded one on my S6, been on since April, and in the last couple weeks I dropped the phone on to a sharp metal edge of a PC and it took a chip out of the screen protector but stopped the screen from getting damaged.

Voted hot, great device at a great price, however, this Amazon customer service thing is nonsense. They are great on returns if you change your mind but they are shocking when the product is faulty. Walk into your nearest CPW and walk out with it in your hand if you have that option.
caverncity
8 Feb 16#43
wonder if its the same seller I am having dialogue with. they are saying I didn't fit it right as there are bubbles around the edge, er hang on that's why I am complaining. they also said they have never had issues with this screen protector, well I think they have or will be very soon.
Different seller. Avoid this one, or should say don't buy this one either clicky

I don't annoy anyone with my music, I use headphones for music. I do however like to watch YouTube videos and watch movies on my phone and when I do I'm not on the bloody bus or train blasting music out of my phone like some chav ****. I do however appreciate the audio I am listening to actually been directed at my face rather than away from me or to the side. I mean yes what where moto or HTC thinking? nobody wants half decent audio quality, we all prefer tinny crappy speakers on our expensive smartphone don't we.
bisto
9 Feb 162#50
Why would you watch a movie on a tiny smartphone? You compromise what should be a great viewing experience with such a small screen.
Get a decent screen and speaker system at home for movies. If you appreciate audio do not rely on stereo phone speakers - front facing or otherwise.
Phones are for funny cat videos and FailArmy - a decent mono speaker is just fine for the cute kitties
The acoustics in most toilets are not that great anyway - best to keep your headphones in :smirk:

well decided to get the normal screen protectors and these are awful too, they just dont stick on the edges. Normally you would lightly wet with light soapy water then push the water out with a soft rubber tool and it leaves no bubbles but as soon as you remove the film the protector bends upwards. Tried another with no water and loads of bubbles, got most out but still no sticky on edges. Then once finished remove the last layer (2) and it pulls the blummin thing back off even if you are very careful and do it slowly it pulls it off. Never had problems like this with other protectors, must be 50% the screen or rubbish protectors. Annoyingly i used a different seller but once delivered it is the same company but different ebay name. So avoid cdaccessories and funkyaccessories2011 who want me to close the returns so they can send me another.

I used a Nillkin branded PET plastic one - this seems to stick really well and is actually quite nice to use.
My Brotect flexible glass ones are on the way from Germany - if they do not stick correctly then I will order some more Nillkin plastic ones.
Some of the droid 2 users in the states have actually got the 0.33mm screens to stick - but some had to use clamps for a few hours. Seems a bit hit and miss.
They deffo need another 'cosmetic' protector though - mine was out of the box for ten minutes and had only been lightly wiped twice, but it still managed to get a hairline mark on the upper area near the speaker.
If you are used to glass screens and normally put them in your pocket with keys and coins - then it will look very nasty after a brisk walk or two :confused:

Why are folk bothering with a screen protector when you can replace the one on it if it gets scratched badly for £20?
It's actually one of the few phones you can get away with letting go naked.
Had mine a while and it's the best thing about it.
Knowing the screen won't break if you drop it and that Motorola have fitted a replaceable protector on already (there's a rumour going round that if you replace this yourself you invalidate the warranty - this is nonsense. You're fine to replace it yourself as long as you fit the official Motorola protector and not an unofficial one).
bisto to Byron78
9 Feb 16#55
Because the top screen is plastic and not glass - very easily scratched compared to a glass topped one.
If you are a "screen queen" like me, a tiny hairline mark will keep me awake at night :smile:
It is cheaper to fix a £4.99 glass protector to it once and not have to worry about scratching the plastic one and replacing the moto one at £20 every 6 months (more like monthly for me :laughing: ) will get expensive for me.
Having said that - I have spent £6 on two protectors so far and the bloody things lift! Hopefully the flexible glass ones will be better?
£2.99, looks to have the correct cut outs for the sensors etc and does reference the curvature of the phone. The feedback on eBay for ones that have sold is also positive, although unfortunately no comments specifically about the fit, just the usual 'great bayer' type stuff. I'll post back when they arrive, hopefully by Friday.

I have a good picture of a good case for this phone, but I cannot upload it.

Anyone know how to put photo links up on HUK now ?

Which browser are you using? In Chrome, right click the pic, 'Copy Image Address'. The paste in here between the image tags [img] URL address here [/img]

9 Feb 16#60
Using Chrome on phone (and have tried tablet too) I don't have the copy URL option any more, nor the option you suggest, just Save Image Or Copy Image or Share Image (which just gives me loads of options like email, Bluetooth, etc).
Very odd, I used to find it so easy to share images, but can't do it anymore.
No worries, I will look into it, thanks trying to help though.

Well the BROTECT flexible screen protectors are excellent - perfect fit, bubble free and nice and clear.
No lifting issues, they really are flexible - amazing. Very pleased.
Got to be the only glass protector that should be recommended for the X Force.
Will get some pictures up in a minute.

Just added some details and pics of the brotect on the other thread see here -
Can anyone confirm if the USB connection not sitting flush is normal? Photo here.
The Moto X Play had a loose volume rocker button - you could hear it if you shake the phone, and more feel it through use. The Moto X Force seems to suffer the same with its power button - do others have this?
