Case-mate, good?

I found this case to be interesting, anyone got experience with it? Is it worth the price?

I'm having a hard time looking for a good case, and I have to ship overseas.

From what I've read its one of the best cases you can buy, I don't use it because it makes your phone as big as a HTC G1/Dream. I do use the Case-mate Barely There chrome snap-on case and from what I have personally found out is that they make the highest quality cases that I have bought for my Nexus One.

I have it, I'm using it. I love it It's absolutely the best you can buy with the price, free shipping, good customer service. IMO, It doesn't significantly make your phone bigger or bulkier. It feels like a solid rock

I use this case as well as the new Otterbox Commuter case and they are both very good quality cases. I believe that the Otterbox offers a little more protection and feels better and is easier to pull out of your pocket but all in all, this is a good sturdy case! I do like the fact that you have different color options whereas the Otterbox does not yet...

Thanks for the reply guys!
I also like the chrome one here: http://www.case-mate.com/Google-Cases/Case-Mate-Google-Nexus-One-Barely-There-Cases.asp
It looks nice and less expensive, might get that instead.

I just got the Tough Case like 3 days ago. It is amazing! I don't think it makes the the phone that much larger, I actually like the texture and sturdiness of the case, its pretty smooth.

Had mine just over a week, love it. Good fit, good feel, free decent screen protector.

You're talking about the chrome or tough case?
Does the tough case come with a screen protector?

Tough Case, if you do a quick search I've put up a picture of my pink/black one.

case mate Tough Case is the best so far. i have two buddy's at work and they have different ones that cost them about 8 bucks ,and they ask me were to get it and i told them . ever since i had it i don't have any problem and trust me i recommended to every one...

I was in the market for some cases too for my wife who tends to just sort of abuse her phone (just throws the phone in her purse and cup holders) so I decided to get the tough case for both our phones and glad I did...its solid and well made. The holes match up perfectly and the silicone and abs are snug to each other.
Photos are Pink/Black and Black/Gray

Just ordered this case off of Case-Mate

Will tell you how I like it and post pictures if you guys want when I get it.

lookin good crxtasi! when can i get my barely there?

I have a casemate gelli, it's pretty awesome. Very snug, minimal bulk, and looks great. Sure not as much protection as some other cases, but certainly increases the drop protection.

I've had this case since it was released for the N1 and love it....never have to carry my wallet around with me anymore

Well it should be here in a couple of days. I really need to get a case on my N1! And I like the added feature of the card holder, in this day and age all you need is a 20. Dollar bill I'd and debit/ credit card

Looks good. I prefer innocase 2 by seidio. Very happy with mine and well worth the money IMHO. it looks more streamline than the pics ive seen on this thread.

The problem with the barely there case is the lack of protection on the bottom and top of the phone. That is where I got 90% of the scratches on my g1.
(see below)

i have the Barely There Case
for my N1
and i love it
especially because i wear skinny jeans and it fits on my front pocket perfectly
lol
all other cases made the N1 feel like i was still trying to rape my pocket with my old myTouch lol

MOFI Kangaroo Pouch for G2x, Multi-colors!

Hey guys,
I found some nice looking sleeve's from Amazon from a company in the UK, NGWorld. They are available in Black, Orange, Coffee, Grey, Red and Green. They also have some leather sleeves if your into that sort of thing. I think they look a bit too flashy. Anyway I ordered the Black Kangaroo Pouch and hope it's a winner for my G2x (took me a while, was trying to decide between black, orange and green). I like the look and feel of the device so I thought this option would be better to keep the phone protected while in my pocked from dust/lint. I'm so careful with my phone I'm not too worried about drop protection or scratches while in use. Thought this may be useful for anyone looking for a case/sleeve/pouch for their shiny new toy.
I can't post a link yet so Google: Amazon NGworld LG
It should be your first result then just click the LG link for the Brand.
The Kangaroo pouch's are $10.99 including shipping and hopefully they'll arrive within a week or so.
The Leather pouch is $18.99 including shipping.

I was looking at those sleeves too . Share your thoughts when you get it

That looks pretty nice. Thanks. Might get this as a back up case. Im not sure about taking the phone out and putting it back in considering i use it a LOT. Might become a hassle

I plan on using both the speck hard case and this pouch when It comes in. Right now I'm using a soft microfiber like bag that I had for some sunglasses to keep the phone lint free and shiny while in my pocket. I hope the phone + hardcase will fit inside the pouch otherwise I'll have to make a choice. They sure look pretty nice though!

The pouch came in today. That thing came fast. I ordered it on the 20th and it came today. Overall this is a nice little pouch. Fits the phone perfectly, and I love how they give you enough room in front to store things. I just put my drivers license in there when I get lazy and not carry my wallet around.

is there any kind of padding to the case or is it thin?

The case is soft, so I guess it only protects a minimum with little padding. Not sure if it would survive a fall of some sort.

Thanks for your answer.

Can you update when you receive the pouch if the phone with the candyshell fits alright? I'm considering going the same route.

Could you post some pictures? I know there are pictures on amazon but I want to see it in a real life photo not a staged one. Does it also collect dust?

The Mofi case will most likely collect some pocket lint and dust but seems easy enough to clean off and doesn't specifically attract anything in my short experience. That's the point of the pouch though right? It has a very nice soft feel to the outside and especially the inner liner portion. I am very satisfied with the quality and construction.

Unfortunately the phone does not fit with the candyshell hard case. It can be forced 75% or maybe all the way but I didn't want to push my luck! It's too tight of a fit to be a every day protection option. I'll probably end up returning or selling the Speck candyshell hardcase and just stick with the mofi pouch as I like the look and type of protection it provides better. Also the Speck case is much to hard to take the device out of. I don't enjoy pushing hard on the camera module every time I have to take the phone out of the case! (Which seems to be the only way to take out the phone from the Speck case as per the instructions that came with the case!)

I would generally agree with this statement, While it would certainly protect from small falls on softer surfaces I wouldn't trust it beyond 6 inches or so. The case does feel great in the hand though and I really like the extra pocket in the front and the closing ball and string latch on the top. The case feels very well constructed and like it will last a good while. Great deal for $10.99 with shipping from the UK and about a 5-7 day shipping time!

Thanks for the pics kflanegan looks like I might be ordering this sleeve now... the only question is what color should I get... I don't like to blend in with norm but I don't want to go over the top either... Anyone want to suggest a color?

If I hadn't gotten black it would have been either orange or green. Either way I think you would stand out! I think those colors would not show dust or lint near as much as the black. I'm always a sucker for black though and am very happy with the purchase. I was real surprised at the quality of the pouch for the price, I don't think you can go wrong no matter which color you decide on!

thanks for the pics and update kflanegan. I might actually pick this one up just because of the price. Still looking for a belt holster similar to that of the Droid X where it simply clicks into the holster. Hopefully one will come out soon..

Awww that's too bad to hear. Thanks for the update though. I'm still at an impasse because the pouch seems great for in pocket protection and keeping things clean but the speck would offer much more protection from drops, etc.

I didn't think it would fit at all. I wasn't really fond of the Speck case tho. I ordered the PhantomSkinz clear armor (similar to Zagg, for less and you get 2 sets) and it feels great with it.

The case is very good.

Im considering this

This is my first case for my SR. I have bought several cases since but keep coming back to the pop case. I just love it. Wished it had a kick stand. The Active Seidio is my second fav. Both are rugged but the pop case looks 'cleaner' to me.

I hope it works well for you. It looks like one of those silicone versions which I had two of. The problem with those (silicone) are after awhile, they tend to get loose and sag a bit. I got frustrated. Eventually I went back to the pop case. Overall, my preference is just hard cases I think. Again, I hope this case works out for you.

I'll take the case if you still have it

This one is much better quality than the $2 silicone cases we see on ebay. I agree that I am taking a chance with the silicon case. It offers zero protection against a fall, but it fits nicely in Belkin GPS Dash mount I have. I use this phone for GPS.

The diztronic case you got is actually pretty good. My friend has 1 on his atrix2 and it's holding up pretty well. I was actually thinking about getting that exact same case. I have a white sr and think that case would be perfect. Using a seidio surface case now and I think that case will work with the seidio holster...

i have one of these, its great and comfortable to hold in your hand.

[Review] Poetic Borderline (Bumper) Case

Hey guys.
Received my Poetic bumper case today and I'm really enjoying it. Currently I have 3 cases, the official bumper case, the rearth ringke and the poetic borderline (aka bumper).
So far I really like this case, and in a TL;DR version, I think I'm going to use this case over the other two. The reason I like this case it that it shows off the unique Nexus 4 backplate while still offering some degree of protection. You'll see in the photos below that there is a small, yet noticeable raise on the sides of the case to prevent the phone from coming into contact with any flat object. I think I'll be choosing this case over the official bumper because this bumper case a slimmer profile and adds less bulk. My first impression with the official case is that it made the phone harder to hold (for me personally).
The covers for the buttons work well and I enjoy the feel of the case overall. The price I got this for (right around $6) and the quality make this case feel like a total steal.
Amazon Link: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Border...&sr=1-1&keywords=poetic+bumper+google+nexus+4
Take a look at the pictures and let me know if you have question. Hope this helps, cheers.

Come on man! We already have an entire thread dedicated to this case... With a bunch of pictures. No need to create a new thread. lol

Thanks for the review bud. Mine should be coming in soon.

I'll add that to my collection

Thanks for your review. I ordered this case and it shipped, but I haven't received it yet. Now I can't wait! I have the official bumper too and I'm now glad I ordered this one too.

Should post your review there

I just received mine yesterday, and today i realized it was uneven, it turns out there is a rip on the top left corner, i don't how it happened or what caused it, because i didn't drop it or anything. I contacted costumer service and waiting for a reply. But I really do like the look and feel of this case

The flash on my camera made the gray look lighter than it normally appears. I honestly don't mind it, and if you're in a financial position to be able to gamble $9 I would say try it out.

I already bought it, $9 isn't a problem. Just prefer the black/black color setup.
I've taken a look at numerous amounts of pictures. It looks good, just wish grey was black but we'll see how this turns out. Only because I want to show off the back

Got mine today. It really is very nice. I actually like it more than the official bumper. It's very nice, slimmer and doesn't have the double bezel like the official bumper. Also, it didn't lift up my best skins ever back protector or screen protector.

Just ordered my poetic bumper off ebay and now I'm looking to get a full body XO skin. Could anyone suggest either the regular XO cut or the case cut?

Does it make the phone less slippery? My other cases are not good for wireless charging

And in 2-4 weeks you'll all be signing a different tune when it starts peeling apart. It's a good case until then though. I had two that both starting falling apart so I got my money back and went with the official bumper.

That looks even bigger than Google's bumper. And I couldn't use one without some back protection. I love my Fosmon(?) TPU case.

Where are the cases?

Pre ordered the Moto X Pure. But looking for a nice tpu or bybrid case. Usually, there's a lot of cases available for a phone before the phone releases. But not the Pure/Style. I know there's a a few on amazon etc... But those cases are junk. Cheap made and will fall apart in a week. I see that incipio has one and ugly otterbox. But never really liked incipio and otterbox. But where are, seidio, Griffin, Belkin, UAG, Spigen???

I doubt UAG will have a case for the moto x pure but I would love it if they did.

Most of the high quality, big name companies didn't make for the previous 2nd Generation model, so they probably aren't for this. Maybe they have some kind of pay to play scheme and Moto isn't paying.

Well, for right now, I went for the MoKo. Less then $10. Hope it will hold till UAG or Spigen releases one. Or Supcase...

People seem to like the variant of it for the Moto G or whatever. The Amazon reviews are about the best feedback you're going to get for the moment. I bought a number of $3-4+shipping cases myself. I don't feel like buying a $30 Incipio case at the moment... And my old phone is still using a cheap case I put on it back in 2012, so I've had good experiences with the cheaper ones anyway.

It will hold. I have had that case for quite a few phones. It is just a bit bulky. I like it for phones under 5 inches and it was OK on the 2014 moto X.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

Has anyone seen any cases like the flip shell for the Moto G? Most of these add to the already bulky look of the phone (and don't protect the screen).

I ordered this one (http://amzn.com/B013HSX5L2). I'm actually looking forward to the transparent back. I got the Ash wood back.

I ordered this case before my MXP arrived and had it waiting. I wish it was a little snugger fit, but it'll do for $8 shipped until something better comes along.

I just got my Moko. I'm not a fan. So far it seems well made, but the holster is backwards when I wear it on my left side.
In addition, it's off-center, so I'm always putting the phone in the wrong way, and the phone can't go in with screen facing out, which makes the the much more stable holster clipstand useless.

Hi,
Just received the Incipio DualPro case. Fit is good, buttons respond well.
Decent dual layer protection. Back is a little slick/slippery.
I'll use it for a while and see how I like it,

Here it is: http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...ualpro-case-motorola-moto-x-pure-edition.html

I got the incipio octane and i really like it. The incipio dual pro is too slick to hold on to though

Does anyone have a pic of the Incipio Octane with frost back?
I'll give you a thank for it lol

Are there any bumpers besides the one that comes in the box..preferably TPU? The one that comes with the phone is a hard plastic that makes the vibration super loud on a desk, but I also don't want to cover the case with a full back.
Anybody found one?
