Diztronic vs i-Blason vs Cimo TPU cases

Let me start by saying the Diztronic TPU is amazing and absolutely perfect in every way, except one. The top and bottom chrome bezel are getting scratched by the sharp edges of the case. It's not from dirt and dust or just rubber marks, they're actual little scratches. I'm looking to buy one of the "S-Line" cases (on amazon because I have gift card credit). Others have mentioned that the edge is not as sharp on these and I do not mind the buttons being harder to press. Are the i-Blason and Cimo brands essentially the same or what? The i-Blason looks a little more refined and is rated better. Thanks!
edit: forgot, I have an Ionic guardian and it's great as well, but just too pocket sticky for me. Definitely is great protection though.

The bezel is so weak it even scratches by sliding the phone in and out of your pocket. So, not a big deal imho!

My Diztronic case hasn't scratched my bezel? lol

I've read threads of many other people complaining about the same issue. Even the Diztronic store on amazon has complaints of it. I remember having this issue with their cases on my Galaxy Nexus as well.
If your bezel isn't scratched yet, consider yourself lucky.
However, aside from that the Diztronic is the most solid TPU case you will find.

I disagree, my phone simply does not get exposed to dirt or sand that would scratch. Take of the case and rub your finger just inside the top and bottom inside edge of it. It's fairly sharp for TPU

TPU is just plastic, it won't scratch other plastic. That would be a horrible feature for a case lol.

i have both diztronic and i-blason.
i like the diztronic better. the i-blason is softer but it fits loose. diztronic fits like a glove. you will get more dirt/grit/crap between your phone and the i-blason case due to its fitment.
from all the phones ive owned with a shiney bezel, they all get micro scratches on them. theres no avoiding it unless you get a full body cover like xoskin/xtremeguard/bodyarmors/etc that covers the bezel. just use your phone as intended. any cases will get crap trap between your phone and case. just be sure to take it off regularly to clean it out.

I have the diztronic case on my n4 and the quality and fit is outstanding. I bought it off eBay and had it shipped to the UK from the States and it was still cheaper by a long shot than anything available here in the UK.
I use it with an invisible shield front and back protector and although it was fiddly getting it on and making sure the screen protector didn't lift, its now on and I have no lift at all.

AW: Diztronic vs i-Blason vs Cimo TPU cases
I can too say that diztronic is the best tpu out there.

Because different types of plastic can't have different levels of hardness and different surface finishes (like polished chrome plastic) aren't more vulnerable to scuffing. Yes, they're really small fine scratches but they're there and I wasn't expecting them.

I have a Diztronic case and the fit is prefect. No scratching at all. The only issue I have is the screen protector lifts when the case goes on or off. The film is centered well just for some reason always snags a bit on the bottom corners.

is there really a difference between a 1$ TPU case and all the other ones ? I thought they were all made in the same factory...

Otterbox Commuter and Skinomi TechGlass Review

Just going to give a quick review on the Otterbox Commuter case and the Skinomi TechGlass Tempered Glass Screen Protector!
I'll hit the case first.
If you've ever had an Otterbox Commuter case before there is nothing more to read because it is again more of the same. I previously ventured away from the defender series once I got my Droid Razr Maxx and have not looked back. The Commuter offers great protection without all the bulk and is much easier to slide in and out of the pocket. Compared to my Seidio Active (Dilex now) that I had on my Droid DNA it has more plastic surface area but I also feel as though this provides a little more protection. That may just be something I think personally but it is what it is. The silicon underneath seems to have a nice thick structure to it and also has a nice "spring" to it around the corners that I also believe helps in protecting the phone. As usual Otterbox includes a plastic screen protector that was ok but if I am going to use a plastic screen protector I prefer a wet application one such as the ones provided by Xtremeguards (which I also use to protect the back of the phone). The buttons work well and the headphone port cover is very easy to disengage and also stays in place very well. There is no cut out for the fingerprint scanner which can make it some what awkward to use but thats no big deal to me personally. The IR blaster and heart rate monitor function flawlessly with this case on.
The Skinomi TechGlass is the first tempered glass screen protector I've ever used. I ordered the Mime Feather Tempered Glass protector but still has not arrived due to problems with USPS. I decided to order the Skinomi one on a whim because I really wanted to get some solid protection on this phone and in a hurry. Needless to say I am very impressed with the Skinomi screen protector. It is slightly thicker at .33 mm but it is an absolute joy to use with the phone. It feels just like the screen does and the Commuter case covers the edges of the TechGlass perfectly. The TechGlass does not extend all the way to the edges of the phone but that is not a huge deal to me as it is rounded and doesn't feel out of place at all(edit: It almost goes all the way to the edges. Maybe 1mm on the top from the edge and about .5mm or less from the bottom and sides.). Application was surprisingly easy. It may just be because I over prepped for it after failing with many plastic screen protectors but it was not difficult at all. I personally cleaned the screen with a cleaning spray, a microfiber cloth, an alcohol pad, the included cleaning cloth, and the anti-dust film. All together this process took less than two minutes and after that the TechGlass was placed on the phone. I had 0 bubbles and the TechGlass went on almost perfectly. There was some strange marking and discoloration but nothing severe and they went away after several hours. I followed the same process for my wife's phone and actually had to lift the TechGlass a couple of times. It still adhered to the phone perfectly. The same effects were on the edges of her protector but they also went away after several hours. These effects never bothered the image output by the screen though.
All in all I'd rate both of these products as a 5/5. Skinomi has a Lifetime Warranty on all of their protectors and I think it's a great investment at 14.99 with Prime shipping. The Commuter case is also well worth the money and Otterbox always stands by their products. I'll probably give Seidio and Incipio some money later on down the road because I also love them for the quality products they make!
TLDR: Commuter- Great case but more of the same. TechGlass- Awesome Awesome Awesome! Definitely a great purchase! Skinomi has a lifetime warranty and it was worth the few extra dollars over other tempered glass screen protectors.

I'm just concerned with that Skinomi being .33mm. I've currently got the .23 Spigen Glas Nano, and I can't imagine having a thicker protector. Does it begin to interfere with the fingerprint scanner at that gauge?

No it does not. I was able to very easily add a new fingerprint with the case off and unlock the phone with the case on. The case was the biggest limiting factor to the fingerprint scanner. At .33mm the TechGlass feels like it is almost perfectly flush with the home button.

Review: i-Blason Unity Series 2 Layer and Tempered Glass Screen Protector

- Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector
http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00NV4TCF6/ref=pe_386430_30332290_TE_3p_dp_1
- i-Blason Unity Series 2 Layer
I just got these for my phone and wanted to share some pics.
For the tempered glass, I just bought one of the cheap ones. I was taking a change on haloing, and it has a halo. But, it is barely noticeable if the screen is on. The only other issue is that it barely covers the screen width-wise. I get what I paid for. Other than that, the visibility is awesome like any other glass screen protector. S-pen and finger touch have no issues.
After looking at many different cases, I again got one of the cheaper options. This case adds little bulk, but nothing like other similar cases. Plastic part has matte finish, so no finger prints. It is a little slippery, but rubber part does not catch dirt/lint and grip is good enough. The lip on the screen side is barely enough to clear the glass protector. I would have like a bigger lip, but as long as the screen is not touched when the phone is face-down, I can live with it. The only annoying issue is that feel for the side buttons are muted due to the rubber.
Overall, the case provides adequate protection and the fit is great. For the price, I may say that it is a better value than Spigen Slimarmor or other similar cases.

Looks very nice.

Looks like the case is two pieces that snap together? If so, does it easily split apart? I ordered the Unicorn Beetle SUPCASE because it seems to do just that, but (like most cases) there are a lot of mixed reviews so more options the better o-O;; Looks nice :good:

Cases and Screen Protectors

I just ordered my new Moto X 2014, I'm actually getting it for free to replace my old Moto X.
What are some good case and screen protector combinations? I know in the past I've had some trouble with a case AND a screen protector, it's sometimes one or the other. I'd prefer a clear case, but I'll probably end up getting more than 1 anyways.

Just got mine as well here is what I have found so far:
All tempered glass is a waste of money for this model none if it fits right at all due to the rounded edges
I would ASSUME the older plastic style ones MIGHT work better but read they also dont work that well
Most cases that say they are clear are actually frosted and that for me defeats the purpose of customizing the back
So I am going naked screen and hula case and will carry the phone in a belt pouch. Not the perfect solution but for me its acceptable. I would have preferred a strong clear tpu case (most turn yellow), I dont want a hard case, and would have love tempered glass on this but they simply dont adhere correctly.
There you have it the sad but true facts about cases and screen protectors from the research I have done. Hopefully some others in here can give you better news

I don't mind a hard case and not a fan of the glass screen protectors. I like the film ones. My last film protector made it a matte screen and took the glare away. It was fantastic! And it worked with the case. But it's the only smartphone that I've had where screen protector AND case can be used.

I guess no one else has found better solutions. The naked case is a decent hard clear case though expensive and also prone to yellowing

It's either going to be the Gelli Black Frost case or the Hula Bumper case initially. I'm getting one of those for free if I buy a screen protector, which I was going to do anyways.
I just can't get anyone to tell me what one of those cases, if any, work with a screen protector. I've been trying to get someone to answer this question for 2-3 days now. Nobody on earth knows! lol

I have the hula bumper case and i can't see any reason it would interfere at all with a screen protector. When I tried my glass protector it was in combination with the hula. Honestly thought most screen protectors are so think that they can be used with almost any case.

The glass is usually cut thinner, the film isn't always cut thinner and I've had instances where the cases would peel up the edges of the film. How did you like you Hula?

I love the look, not sure it would truly give a huge amount of protection but should protect the edges of the glass on the screen which i read is the most vulnerable part of the phone. It does have a little but of movement when you hold the phone (aka wiggles slightly) but it also adds more grip, i have a plastic backed phone.. Those damn beveled edges, nice concept, nightmare in reality. They are why no glass or other screen protector will truly fit right.

When holding or using the phone its fine. I am also extremely OCD and when it moves/wiggles is like when you just tap the side with your finger you can feel it move very slightly, very slight;y but for me noticeable, but not enough to get rid of the case just makes the phone look awesome.

Also if you can order the hula from case mate rather then moto as moto charges an extra $5 shipping. They are also at times very hard to find in stock anywhere depending on the color you want.

I really like the way that looks. My phone is Royal Blue, White Front, and Red Trim. So it's between a white or red hula case, or the gelli case. I'm leaning towards the Hula for more everyday use I think, and buying another case from amazon for when i need more protection. Or buying the hula and getting a good protecting case from moto's website
I have a coupon code from Moto for $25 off, so Im buying the screen protector and I basically get any case for free.

I have the Hulu and the Trident Aegis. The plastic on the Hulu cracked at the USB port area (from bending when removed or put on), but it doesn't effect the case

I've been using the Hula bumper and Power Support Brilliant Film screen protector. The edge of the case doesn't contact the screen protector so it doesn't peel.

Weird question, but do you think there's enough give with the Hula case where it would fit around the Moto X in a thin TPU case? I like the TPU cases but worry about the protection or lack thereof. Just wondering if it'd be possible to use them and occasional put the Hula Case around them for extra protection. Of course the buttons probably wouldn't work then...

You wont be able to use the two together, to much of a lip on the back with the hula case. Even if you did somehow fit it on the tpu would never touch the back of the phone just the lip around the edge. TPU will likely give more protection then hula but hula will likely give more grip then a tpu case.

New to the X, is it worth while getting a screen protector? Case is on its way, but with Gorilla Glass 3, is it truly worth the extra to cover the screen? Probably will end up with one but wanted some other opinions!

That is completely up to you but I can tell you this based on my research and personal experience:
There is not a tempered glass screen protector on the market for the 2014 that adheres properly. Not one of them works well and thus dont bother with those. The 2014 tapered edges on the glass are the issue. I have HEARD of similar issues with PET style screen protectors but never messed with those as they never felt right to me.
Lastly everything I have read says those tapered edges o the glas DO make it more prone to crack or brake on a drop so you need SOMETHING to protect the glass edges. Full case, hula bumper, something....

A lot of the cracking that people report is from dropping their phones, not taking the Hula on and off. The Hula is designed to absorb the shock of a drop and it breaks so that the phone does not. Better that your $20 bumper break than your $600 phone.
I take my Hula off and on all of the time and it has never cracked. I think people are dropping their phones and the Hula is doing exactly what it is supposed to do - absorbing the shock, which can result in it cracking instead of your phone.

Moto Z FORCE Cases

Looking into buying a case tonight. Any takers?

Before you read lol this is overkill but Decided to go with tempered glass from Pleson. I've used them before on my Moto X '15 no problems!
Going to see how the tempered glass and clear case work out!

I'm going to give the protector a try only because I want to have a glass screen to slide my finger on. Plus, who needs to worry about scratches, right? I think it'll work out well because the screen seems flat. I'm still deciding if I'm going to get a case or not.

A glass screen protector is a really good idea to improve the feel. I'd try to get away with just a bumper for a case. Full disclosure, I played with them at Verizon yesterday but I don't have one.

Purchased an Otterbox Defender case. I needed tough case and didn't have any experience with heavy duty cases other than Supcase's Unicorn Beetle, Otterbox's Defender, and Trident Case's Kraken. Supcase has one for preorder and I doubt the Trident will release a Kraken case for the Moto Z Droid.
The Defender is what I expected; A durable inside case surrounded by a softer shell. Had the same terrible plastic screen protector as every other Otterbox case. Popped it off the case, removed the adhesive with the edge of a blade.; With a tempered glass screen on the phone itself the fit is a bit snug, but the inner case still closes and everything still lines up correctly so everything is good on that end. What I didn't expect is the belt carrier is actually decent; the phone can attach in every orientation (face up/down, rotated 180 degrees about the face). It adds a bit of bulk, but I will gladly take it over a simple shell or soft case.

Was about to order this exact set up. Questions:
1) The case is all clear right? The pics make it look like the sides are rose gold.
2) Any issues installing the screen protector? I've never had a glass and the reviews say that its prone to bubbles.

No problems it had bubbles but i forced them out.
And glass is the best new craze bro! It's worth it trust me! This screen can crack ice seen it better the tempered glass than a scratched screen.

Good: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H2K0M58/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (Great fit with the Incipio Battery Pack on the phone)
Bad: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HCN4PB2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Too long... AGOZ one listed above it perfect length for a naked phone at almost exactly 6 inches of internal length (~15.5 cm). The MND, on the other hand, is about 6.75 inches in length (16.75 cm)... the naked phone swims in that much length.
