Moto G : Accessories buying guide

2014 is expected to be the year of the low-cost smartphone which doesn’t compromise on quality, a trend started by the Nexus lineup of devices, and furthered by devices like the Moto X and Moto G. The Moto G is a great example of a smartphone that features everything people need, without putting a strain on the wallet. You won’t see dazzling specifications that compete with the latest high-end devices, but that’s not something all consumers look for, and the very affordable price tag more than makes up for any shortcomings.

To help you get the most out of your smartphone, be it for protection or convenience, we’ll be roundup up some of the best accessories for the Motorola Moto G. Let’s get started!

Shells

While the customization available with the Moto G aren’t as extensive as what is available with the Moto X, in the case of the smaller smartphone, you have the option of numerous replaceable back covers in varying colors, and different features, that are called Shells. The purpose of these back covers isn’t protection, so if you’re worried about dropping your phone often, you’re better off picking up a protective case (see below). If you’re hoping to stand out in a crowd, Shells are definitely what you’re looking for. Here’s a list of the type of shells available for the Moto G.

Color Shells

As explained above, Shells are replaceable back covers for the Moto G, and Color Shells are exactly what the names suggests, back covers that are available in different colors. Color options include chalk, violet, royal blue, turquoise, lemon lime, and cherry (vivid red). Available from Amazon and directly from Motorola for $14.99.

Flip Shells

Unlike the Color Shells, Flip Shells feature a flip cover that helps to protect the display of the smartphone. The strong and thick textured cover includes magnets that turn the screen off when it is closed, and on when open, and also features a cutout for the earpiece, allowing you to talk on the phone while the cover is closed. The Flip Shells are available in numerous color options as well, with the additional choice of black, along with all the colors that are available with Color Shells. Available from Amazon and directly from Motorola for $29.99.

Grip Shells
