What do you do to protect your MOTO G?

So my choice is a silicon Bumper and a screen foil even its gorilla glass 3.
The Bumper has this odd bulk feeling but i think it saved my G many times from damage.
What about you?

I like my phone naked. No screen protector will feel as nice as gorillas glass 3.
For my nexus 4 I have the DBrand skin at the back. Too bad they didn't have a skin for the Moto G, only for the Moto X.
Picture taken from here
Keep in mind this is an $150 product; people are putting way too much protection/focus on cell phones these days

Using an S-Wave TPU Case + a matte screen protector cut by those local cellphone servicing shops here, since I didn't have a pre-cut SP. I'll probably get a proper SP soon or tempered glass.
some rant here:
Bought my Moto G from an online gray market, was a bit sad that it had a minuscule "s" scratch if light is shown at the right angles, since it was sold as brand new. That being said, I would like this phone to last for a while, and of course would want ample protection. That, and it took me a while to save up $150, being a college student. Of course, the phone's been only with me for a week. I'll get over it.

I don't use anything... except my common sense that I won't drop it or put it somewhere it'll get scratched/destroyed

Nothing. Its a tough phone. Dropped on tiles once pretty hard, not a mark on it. I have never cracked a phone ever.

Dropping your phone doesn't mean you lack common sense, it's an accident that can happen to anyone.
I use a lovely baby blue flip cover that sleeps/wakes the phone for me and I LOVE it

Aegis Trident case

I am using Incipio Dual Pro case. I do not use a screen protector, the disadvantage of getting a bad touch control, reflection etc. is in my opinion not worth the trouble on nowadays Gorilla screens..........

I always use (for every android phone) some rubber-or-whatever-material case (http://images.esellerpro.com/2477/I/692/019/BLACK-02.JPG) and some cheap screen protector. Working fine always even when phone falls or whatever ...

Green Hyperion Explorer Hybrid Protective Case/Cover
Picked it up from here.

I just ordered this one, looks good in pictures
made by nillkin

Atm using grip black original and preordered the white on amazon + antifolix clear screen protector.

I never use it. It's still in its box.

Now using this.

I ride my bike every single day to work listening to music with my Moto G.
It has a perfect size and design, even in your pocket it will not bother you any time.
Regarding maps and GPS system I cannot say anything because I haven't got the manners to use them
Get it and tell us what you found :good:
EDIT:
Wrong thread, how can I delete a reply? :laugh:

I use this
from http://www.ebay.com/itm/HYBRID-HARD...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item485ed2ce4b

Armour Hybrid Cover
Got this Armour type cover (already mentioned by peoples by above) from ebay 1month back @ $13.99
Cover is good & now available at $ 8.00 approx on ebay & flipkart India
Removed plastic back cover, as it was giving a bad look & thick brick feeling.
But still not feel safe for screen with this.

[VIDEO] Samsung Galaxy S5 - ZAGG invisibleSHIELD Glass Installation

I use to do so many installation videos of invisibleSHIELDs (orignal, HD, dry) back in the day. Then Spigen came along with all their Glas screen protectors. Doesn't take much to see that a glass screen protector is superior in clarity. It's really become a shame to put a product that suffers from known issues like the rainbow effect and orange peel on these flagship devices.
I'm sure ZAGG felt the pressure put on them by manufacturers like Spigen to produce something better. Enter the Glass line.
PRICE
This thing is kind of expensive. $40 bucks basically at Best Buy. From ZAGG it's $5 cheaper. Maybe that's because there is less packaging with the one that ship from ZAGG.
Spigen is pretty expensive as well. Cheaper glass screen protectors are popping up on eBay at lower prices. I think for the most part those will be fine. I've used a few before. Expect less support if they don't work and a higher chance of bubbles. How much higher? I don't know. We'll have to wait for feedback from others.
WARRANTY
Of course there are cons to glass screen protectors. I won't deny that. My wife has cracked a few. Spigen has a replacement program to get you another one at a discount cost:
http://www.spigen.com/need1more
According to the information supplied in this product, ZAGG will keep on sending you replacements if you pay shipping and handling. You will most likely have to return the broken pieces of your protector as well as proof it was damaged.
INSTALLATION
You don't really need a video. However, I did one anyways . The installation process is easier in my opinion than non glass screen protectors. Ultimately you'll just want to make sure everything is dust free and aligned. If you skip towards the end of the video where the screen protector makes contact with the screen, you will see the air bubbles all come out on their own. It's that easy.
FIT AND CONCLUSION
I was really pleased with the fit. This product leaves enough room around the side of the screen for cases which is a huge benefit. Most cases will not pry up the borders and cause the glass to lift. Cheaper Chinese glass screen protectors and this one leave openings and not just cutouts for the speaker and home button. In this case, I applaud that because of the fingerprint scanner. From videos I saw of the Glas, they chose to have a cutout for the home button. They're thin, and I'm sure you can get your fingerprint read. I mean, who would design it that way if you couldn't? I just believe that it would be easier to scan it if the area was left open. Spigen used to give away home button stickers to make the button taller. Can't do that with the S5's scanner.

Here's what we found at Best Buy last night from ZAGG...
​

Hi thanks for the review really liked it. though, isn't the glass screen for the s5 smooth and hard enough anyways? and also would it be possible for a review on the extreme version i want to see the clarity on that one. since i am a outdoors kind of guy i got a good case with it just need a screen protector that will help avoid the damages and keep it clear for me to see.

Review: 0.15mm Flexible Glass Screen Protector Only $5 (Cybertech)

So I was browsing Amazon and ebay for screen protectors and on both sites I came across this one for $5 and it sounded too good to be true. Well I went ahead and ordered it on ebay and I received it 5 days later.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281313035202
Without further ado here are the pictures.

Seeing as my S5 already had a screen protector on it I didn't actually test this one out on my phone but...
I went ahead and bent it and to my surprise one I had bent it enough there was a quick and loud crack noise which resulted in what looks to be cracked glass in the protector. I did it a total of three times, same result each time.
It comes with the stuff pictured and a plastic piece on each side of it that needs to be peeled off before using it.
The back felt like it would adhere well to the phone screen like other glass protectors.
To be honest I don't know that it feels 100% like the glass protector already on my phone but I'm not even sure what I mean by that.
What I can say is it is every bit as slippery and there is no doubt in my mind it is genuinely glass from how it cracks.
The detailed camera and sensor cutouts are worth noting.
I'll conclude the review by saying I'd definitely recommend it, especially for only $5, and if I didn't already have a protector on my phone I would happily use one myself.

glass protector has gone down in price alot recently, it's not really surprising that you can get them for usd 5, i can actually get them for usd 2-3 each, and cheaper if i buy them in bulk, it all depends on the quality and, thickness and cut.

This screen protector is tempered glass type it's different from spigen that's why it's so cheap. I bought this thinking it would have a premium glass feel but honestly it feels like any other plastic screen protector

all spigen glass protectors are tempered glass.

I just installed this, and it does feel like glass. I had my doubts that it was actual glass when I opened the package. However the product does feel like glass once on the phone, with the proper finger tip drag and smoothness. It is as reflective as the bare screen.
Installation was the same as the glass protector on my Nexus 7, once contact was made it pulled itself down with only a few bubbles to push out. It took 5 minutes maximum, including removing the old plastic film.
It fits perfectly, with cut outs at the proper spots. I didn't bother with pics since it is barely visible.
I'm happy enough, it was cheap and seems to be what I was looking for. I didn't need impact protection as much as scratch resistance.

Mr Shield Screen Protectors - Different than shown

I got the el-cheap-o screen protectors in to use while we all wait for some decent tempered glass options. These things are not the same as what is shown on amazon. i have to assume they will work... although i really don't know.
and this is what amazon looks like.

No problem. I'm sure as soon as the Moto has been in more peoples hands that more proper fitting protectors will surface. For now this will have to do until I get my overpriced protector from Motorola.

Return to Amazon - I have same issues as others. Arent we going to have this issue with ANY screen protector? If it is smaller, you will distinctly feel the "drop off".

Little different
Just got the clear ones in today. Mine aren't what Amazon shows but they differ from the ones you received as well. There are cutouts for the bottom sensors and a centered cutout at the top. It's also smaller than the screen to avoid the curved edges. They actually sent me an email after ordering it explaining why it's smaller than the phone.

Could you post some pics of it? I want to see how much screen is exposed if I use a case.

Thanks for sharing
I was just looking at these from Amazon, I usually go straight otterbox for my phones and I've found the screen protectors that come with it are adequate so I've never shopped around for other screen protectors. I just got this bumper/case in: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00N3VHD6C
It fits quite snug and I'm wondering how it will sit with a tempered glass cover.

SGS7 Tempered Glass by Spigen

Hi guys ! For years I've been using Spigen products and I am loving them. However today I received tempered glass and I am less than satisfied. As we all know REGULAR galaxy S 7 also have curved edges of the glass, not LCD like in our bigger brother "SGS7 EDGE" but little bit curved glass. So any type of protection for the glass should be curved just a little bit but curved. Anything that is straight will be no good. And I honestly thought that Spigen did exactly that I never even had a single thought that they'll mess up like this. Basically all around edges where glass starting to curve a bit Tempered glass can't stick on for obvious reasons and all dust and particles in few days will be there and ... well it's nasty to have screen with dust all over. After this I am writing to Spigen and asking for my money back cause even cheap chinese eBay sellers have SGS7 CURVED tempered glass so it's properly aligned with curved glass. I wonder what do they do with SGS7 EDGE, they also sell straight glass ?
Anyhow I continue to support Spigen but I guess I'll do a little bit more research next time because I blindly trusted them before. I REALLY hope they'll come up with proper tempered glass SOON in meanwhile I'll use this then once Chineese one comes I'll use that unless Spigen can deliver proper protection. Also case by them is absolutely amazing, light and military grade drop protection.
Here is Case I purchased: http://www.ebay.com/itm/262318822840?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Not Glass like the OP's screen protector

I decided not to buy it because many people said about the side edge glass won't curve with the phone.
I just bought S7 for a week now but I still left my screen unguarded. I only have Spigen's Crystal Shell case equipped.
On the other hand, that Curved Crystal HD screen protector wasn't glass. It's just normal screen protector with level 3 hardness and it won't guard against the shock impact. I hope they will step up the game and release the 9H curved glass protector like any cheap brand on the market right now. I wanted to use the glass like my old S4 with Glas.tr on it for 3 years and it still unbroken and unscratched.
