Hi everyone
Most of what I see here in regards to accessories is for America, in the UK I cant find anything really thats any good. If anyone comes across something then please let the rest of us Brits know xD
For the time being I ordered a cheap £4 tpu case from Amazon. Hopefully in a few months ebay/Amazon will have more choice.

The only case I managed to find which is actually in stock and shipping from the UK was the one called "Moto X Case, SUPCASE [Unicorn Beetle Series] for All New Motorola Moto X (2nd Gen.) Phone 2014 Release" on Amazon.
It has a black surround and a frosted back, which unfortunately is a bit too opaque to make out the navy coloured back of my phone. It does however seem to protect the phone pretty well.
When I looked at most of the cheap TPU/Silicone cases which seemed to be in stock they were from US resellers with long (1-3week) shipping times.

Looks like it is now available for sale on Moto's site, when I ordered my X it was "coming soon" so I could not order it.
Very interested in this case and would have loved to have bought it with my phone and the 30% off accessories.

i have the frost white one for sale if you want it. $10 bucks + shipping. i decided to go with a hard case instead. let me know. thanks.
Tried it at the Verizon store. Its a bit slippery. Would recommend the cheaper diztronic or similar.
Does it slide around on a surface (e.g. a table) a lot?

I bought the frosted white one off of Amazon but returned it b/c I didn't like the frosted white. I thought it was going to be all white.
If it were all white I would have kept it. It felt great in the hand and didn't show finger prints. It fits with the Seidio Galaxy S5 Surface holster pretty good. A bit tight if I remember correctly but it fits.
Anyone from the UK found a decent case for the moto x 2nd gen yet? I've been looking for a couple of months now and still can't find a decent looking case. I really want the official moto bumper case sold on the US website but its not available over here!

Amazon have a few now, I've just bought a clear one for £3 (still waiting delivery). I did buy one from the US when I first got my phone, as there were none for sale in the UK. It was advertised as being clear but turned out to be frosted and was also causing issues with muting the microphone when on calls

Can you give us the link to the Motorola bumper on Amzon UK ? I can't find it.
Sorry haven't seem the bumper for sale, just standard cases.
Ok, i thought you were speaking about Casemate Hula case for Moto X.
The only way to get it for european owners is to buy it on US Case-mate site (but it is $13 shipping costs)
Bit the bullet and purchased here in blighty.
Managed to get it on an o2 upgrade through CPW for 230. Would have like the 32GB version but 16GB should do (coming from a G2 with on 16GB and no SD).
So first concern will be screen protector.
Have you any recommendations of brands you have used or what you have currently for the phone?
Amazon is throwing up the following brands
Celicious
Brotect
Top Ace
ELTD
iLLumiShield
Will work out a case as well.
Cheers
I've ordered these from Ali Express.

They should be despatched shortly I'll let you know if they are any good.
At the moment I got a couple of cheap ones off ebay from Germany they are o.k not the best fit.

I'm hoping there will be some more cases available for this phone soon, amazon currently have a couple but i really want a black one. Been considering the unicorn beetle case but there's no image of the black/black model on amazon, only the frosted/black one.
I'd be interested to hear how the tempered glass screen protector works out though
Never used one so not sure how easy they are to apply, also never bought anything from Aliexpress, is there service pretty good?
Good to know of some other UK early adopters
There seems to be a couple of black cases appearing on amazon.

Just for reference this turned up and very happy. Standard slimline case affair.
Good fit.
Also got brotech screen protectors. They fit height well but only go to the edge of the display and the whole front width so you know.

Hi,
I had a XtremeGard installed on my nexus 4 and really liked it. Yesterday I ordered 4 of them for my Moto X Play. They have at this moment an 80% discount on all order with coupon code "Summer80"!
So for 4 of them it's $6.39US with coupon (shipping is free in US and low elsewhere).

Rhinoshield would release in some time, I have confirmed email from them. I guess including shipping would cost 30$

The problem you may be posting about when you get that is that the screen on our phone has a beveled edge, either the screen protector won't make contact on the edges, or it won't cover the full screen.
It's very likely we won't see a proper full-coverage protector for the life of the device.
I just went with a custom cut one from Geek Squad, $20 well spent. (but still not edge-to-edge)

Just ordered an Xtremeguard as well with that coupon, I got the "Hi-Def Dry-Install" version. First of all, thank you for sharing it! And second, please let us know how it is when it arrives. I'm currently in Germany so my shipping will take respectively longer (18-31 Days was the suggestion with the $5.87 USPS International Shipping option, ouchhh).. But on a positive note, after the 80% off coupon the whole deal, including shipping to Europe, was only about $7-$8ish!
Anyway, thanks again
Nico
No problème and I will let you know as soon as I have them.

Got them this friday and installed it Saturday night (wet install). It fit perfectly, not as slippery as I tough it would be (I guess I got use to the naked glass) but overall I like it.
still have 1 or 2 bubbles under but I know by experience that tomorrow it will be gone.
Cheers!

91% off with this code, at the moment: BF91OFF
I have some random screen protector, jeez I forgot the brand....Qmust maybe?
They're all mostly fine anyway
EDIT: Woops I mean it's a tempered glass screen protector.
No proper Screen Protector yet available for MXP. I bought back covers and screen protectors, all ruined in few days.
My brotec (?) screen protector os doing just fine 3 months in.
Seems most aren't the best fits due to curve of screen but covers 98% of the screen when a case is on as well so I'm happy enough.
I recently bought a back cover for my Moto X Play. It is from "Frosted Series" of Nillkin brand. The device is much more comfortable now, thanks to the TPU material used.
Here is the link : http://www.amazon.in/dp/B0173QXAD2
Another case which I considered was : http://www.amazon.in/dp/B015XII0W8
This case is also made of Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).
I don't think I'll bother with a screen protector this time around, it's got Gorilla Glass 3 already and have never had problems with screen scratches previously, with inferior screen solutions.
I shall wing it, apart from my TPU case to protect the corners of the device which is my main damage culprit.
those with xtreme guard applied, could you guys share some pics of your phone? did the film cover the whole screen?
Few weeks ago i installed a 5 euro/dollar anti glare screenprotector and it fits perfect.The edges are rounded so you will never find a screen protector that covers the whole screen.I use the original moto x play flip shell for protection and a screen protector for the anti glare look.
Has anyone else has trouble buying a case? I've found multiple sellers on both Amazon and eBay, but they all have the same problem. The shipping for the case is delayed by about 2 weeks+. Most of the delivery estimates tell me it will deliver to me by September 16- October 4. Kind of bummed about this since I just bought my phone yesterday, and would like to use it with a case.
For reference I live in Canada, but when I try to find a case for almost any other phone you can get it fast. I know the phone hasn't been out very long, but it's already been a few weeks, if I'm not mistaken.
I think it depends on how well the phone had been leaked / shown previous to launch.
I don't think many were expecting a x play so perhaps they didn't show it to case companies.
Annoying.
I have a case and screen protector on order and won't be using until I get them.

I know the feeling! I was actually considering the Cruzerlite bugdroid case until I saw the crazy delivery times.
I ended up going with the Motorola flip cover for now. $40 at Bell, $45 everywhere else
For anyone wondering I got a sleo slimline case which came really quick from Amazon.
Decent slimline case for the few quid I paid for it.
I tend to change my cases regularly so cheap and cheerful is OK for me.

Have you got a pic of the phone with the case on?
Reallly frustratingly i got my amazon order cancelled by i-BlasonEU due to 'stock issues' on the day my case was supposed to be dispatched!!! I went for the Supcase Unicorn Beetle in Black/Black http://www.amazon.co.uk/SUPCASE-Uni...w_p_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0EXFJ2YRVVF5WRKZE2AQ . Even more frustrating is the fact that the frost/black version is available for prime AND cheaper!
As requested. Not the best photos but hope they help.

When I bought it at the end of August, there was no OtterBox case available. It was important for me to have some kind of protection because I dropped my last phone often. Instead of the OtterBox, I got a slim silicon case and a screen protector, which protect against impact.
Have you tried Telus or Koodo? at my Friends telus they had a case for our phone.

Both Telus and Koodo have cases. The screen protectors are $15 (for the 2 pack no warranty), $35 for the single with warranty. I forgot how much the cases were, but they did have the one where you replace the back cover with the flip one (with the credit card slot on it).
But when I spoke to someone at Koodo, they said that the colored backs were online only. At least that's what the Moto rep told him.
Bell has the flip cover with the card slot for $40 (Telus & Koodo charge $45). They also have a little gel case for $20 but I wouldn't get it (buttons are way too hard to press)
For those wondering what the official flip cover looks like, here's the Teal version. The pattern is the same as the standard back cover, but feels more "grippy."
There are new cases from Incipio available:

Cruzerlite Bugdroid
The cruzerlite cover its perfect for this moto... I bought for the moto G 2013 before.
I just receive my Incipio Octane case and I'm 100% happy. Nice look and good grip. It feel like the Urban Armor case I had for my Samsung Galaxy phone.

Looks good. Where did u get it from? It's very hard to find a good case for moto play. I am using a transparent one gives a good grip and also compliments the back look of the device
Bought the Blu Vivo X a couple of weeks ago and there is still no cases for this phone. The phone came with a gel case but it doesn't protect it. Any chance anyone has seen one other than the wallet type?
There are a couple of cases available now on Amazon via Kugi...clear, and smoke/grey they call black. I have the smoke grey one, but doesn't offer any more protection than the factory case - I just didn't want the pattern case that came with the phone. Amazon this week got them available for US shipping so they're not coming from China anymore. There are also fitted PU leather cases via Sunway available on Amazon and a Skinomi Skin for the Vivo X. Good luck... it would be nice to see some dual-layer cases, but this phone appears to be made by Gionee for Blu and doesn't have a direct Chinese version unlike a lot of other Blu products, so the market is going to be smaller and manufacturers are less likely to build cases for this one-off US only phone. With a curved screen, tempered glass protectors are tough to find as well, but there is a Chinese-based supplier that sells a full-screen glass protector with a black surround - I'm expecting delivery by the end of the week and the early reviews on Amazon are positive.
