I love the cover screen experience that Motorola has curated for its Razr flip phones. I’ve said it before — often while bashing the hoops that Samsung makes you jump through to get the same usefulness from its Flex Window — and I’m sure I’ll say it again, but only because I believe so strongly in it. As someone who would love to push all his friends to pick up a flip phone, it’s much easier to recommend Motorola’s open, easy-to-use interface, which is ready to grab and go at a moment’s notice.
However, just because it’s easy doesn’t mean people will know how to use it. Suddenly, you have this small, square display in front of you that’s both a phone and not quite a phone — it works like one, yet kind of does its own thing. So, with that in mind, I thought I’d sit down and walk through a few of the ways I’ve started using the cover screen on my Motorola Razr (in this case, the Razr Ultra) every day.
