Motorola Unveils The Skip NFC Gadget To Securely Unlock Moto X Phones With A Tap 

A recent survey from the Motorola shows that a typical person unlocked their device around 100 times per day. It's very irritating for some one to enter the code every single time. That’s where the Skip comes in. Today the company announced Motorola Skip, a small gadget that Moto X owners can use to securely unlock their phones — no more pecking in passcodes or swiping authentication gestures. You can simply tap the Motorola Skip and get to business.

“Our smartphones are central to our digital lives … the keys to our friends, our finances, and a lot of our personal information,” Motorola wrote in a blog post today. “Security is increasingly important, but it shouldn’t be irritating.”

Skip is a small gadget that looks like a potato chip bag clip, though it’s covered in cloth. It pairs with your smartphone and, then, with any little tap it unlocks the device. So you can have the Skip on your belt, in your pocket, on your sleeve, or anywhere else and just tap it to unlock your smartphone and bypass the PIN on its lock screen. Motorola will also provide Skip dots, little NFC tags that will automatically unlock your device when they are tapped.

Possible Colors

Motorola is going to sell the Skip with three dot stickers. It will eventually launch in several different colors, presumably to match the 16 available for Moto X devices, but initial units are black and gray.

Motorola hasn’t revealed pricing for the Skip, though it was briefly seen on the company’s site for $20. Ideally, it should be cheap enough that Moto X owners can buy multiple Skips.  Motorola says the Skip will be available for purchase from its website once the Moto X launches and that the company will include a free unit with every customized Moto X purchase online.
