The Z Force’s larger body makes it a bit easier to hold than its slimmer sibling, which often felt like it was going to slip from my hand during testing. Unfortunately, once you tack on a Moto Mod accessory, the Moto Z really shows its heft.
I never thought my arm could ever get tired from simply talking on the phone, but that happened with the Z Force when I attached the Kate Spade Power Pack.At least the Z Force has a valid excuse for its thicker chassis: The phone employs Motorola’s ShatterShield technology, which protects the display from major disasters.
This five-layer system has a plastic hard-coating on top that keeps the actual display layers underneath well-protected.
Yes, the top layer can scratch, but it can also be easily replaced for about$30. And in case you drop the phone on concrete, ShatterShield will absorb the impact. It’s sort of like having an automobile bumper: a relatively cheap part that’s designed for replacement in the event of an accident. Unfortunately, the Z Force isn’t resistant to water like other flagship phones.
