Motorola Moto X Force 'Shatterproof' Phone Price, Launch Details Tipped

New reports once again point to Motorola working on a 'shatterproof' smartphone for a launch this year. Last week, the Motorola Bounce made it to news alongside an image and specifications. Now, new reports point to an official name - Moto X Force - and tip launch date, price, and Moto Maker support.

The leak comes from Chinese tipster @upleaks who in a Weibo (Chinese equivalent of Twitter) post has included several details of the Moto X Force. Based on @upleaks post, it seems that Motorola may launch the Moto Bounce in some regions as Moto X Force. The phone was first reported by Mobipicker.
