The Moto G is undoubtedly one of the best “cheap” phones out there. It retails for $179 or $199 depending on the storage size you choose. Which normally for phones in that price range you’re getting a single-core processor, and a qHD display. But not with the Moto G. Instead your getting a 720p 4.5-inch display, quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 2070mAh battery. Oh and did I mention KitKat is already being pushed out to it?

At the Moto G launch event, Motorola did show us some of their plans for the Moto G. Which includes removable back covers and grip shells for the device. Today, those grip shells went on sale, on Motorola’s site. They are available in five different colors. That’s Chalk, Black, Royal Blue, Lemon Lime, and Cherry. All five colors are listed as in stock right now and are selling for $19.99 a piece.

So what’s so different about these compared to the normal removable back covers? Well the grip shells have a rubber bumper which protects your device, as well as, allowing you to get a better grip on your phone, so you won’t drop it. Which is always a good idea to have. Remember that the back covers are removable, so you can use different colors, and buy a few of these shells to go on your Moto G. It may not be as cool as the Moto X’s back colors, but thee you can change anytime you want. While the Moto X you’re stuck with your colors, unless you decide to buy a new Moto X.

At the time of writing this, the Moto G Grip Shells are only available on Motorola’s website. But I’m sure they’ll make their way to Amazon and other retailers that are selling the Moto G, very soon. How many of you have picked up a Moto G from Amazon, Google Play, Verizon, Best Buy, or even Motorola’s website?

Many users were more than a little upset when Google finally decided to let go of their Google Reader Application and pulled the plug on it for good. For those of us that love our Google Products and Services, saying goodbye to a once loved service like Reader was to say the least, a sad day for all of us. That is accept, for one group of people in particular. Feedly. That’s because this gave them perfect opportunity to capitalize on the masses of people who would undoubtedly be looking for a new RSS feed to give them the news that they wanted and craved. Well, perhaps craved is a bit strong of a word, but people were certainly going to be looking for a new RSS feed to use.

Feedly took every advantage that it could and improved the service that were already offering tenfold, and enhancing their product with many new features to entice users into making Feedly a part of their daily life. As the user base for Feedly started to grow, they saw the need to update their Android app accordingly to continue enhancing the experience for those users. The newest update for their Beta Android RSS reader app, out today, adds in a ‘Speed Reading’ feature that allows you to quickly move through your news feeds with a tap gesture, although the main focus of this update as stated by Feedly themselves, is focused on bux fixes and improvements. The bug fixes are well and good and they definitely have their place, as they ensure that users stay happy, but the speed reading feature is smooth sexy.

The ability to transition from news article to the next without page loads and slow lag, is probably the best thing Feedly could have done to enhance the experience for users. It’s also nice to see some UI updates once in a while, but when something isn’t broke there’s no need to fix it. If you are currently using the Feedly application for Android and haven’t done the update yet, head to the Play Store and slide on over to the ‘My Apps’ section and hit the update button. If you aren’t using Feedly but you would like to, you can join the beta community on their G+ page and become a beta tester at this link. We think you’ll appreciate all that it has to offer. Are you using Feedly? If so let us know what you think about the Android app and the latest update that came out today in the comments.
