Motorola decided to give a new dimension to the customization of the Moto E 2015 (2nd Gen). You can now buy a variety of bands and grip shells for the new Moto E which completely transform the device. These will be available on Flipkart as well, but at present there is no word on when and at what price.
Apart from the default black or white which come according to the color of the phone you choose, you can get bands or grip shells for the new 2nd Generation Moto E in Golden Yellow, Turquoise, Blue, Raspberry, Purple, and Red colors. Without further ado, lets have a look at both of them in our hands-on with the new Moto E (2nd Gen) 2015 bands and grip shells.
You can watch our hands-on video with images, camera samples and first impressions here.
Moto E (2nd-Gen) Bands
The new bands cover the sides of the device and are textured for a grippier feel. They are the only removable part of the new Moto E 2015 and hide the two micro-SIM card as well as the microSD card slot on the left.
There is no difference in the texture based on the color, they have the exact same look and feel. The buttons work perfectly and have adequate tactile response no matter which colored band you choose.
Moto E (2nd Gen) Grip Shells
The Grip Shells too give a new take on your device and since the back is non-removable they cover that as well giving a protective layer to your device. The Grip Shells for the new 2nd Gen Moto E have a translucent back plastic which doesn't attract fingerprints and rubberized sides. These are a bit difficult to get onto your phone.
The buttons on this cover did feel a bit mushy to me, the clicky tactile response from the default bands was definitely missing here. But that's the price you pay for added protection I Guess.
