Hello fellow one X owners,
I am new to the community, thanks to Toaster Strudels. Anyways, I am looking for a case, costs are not an issue. What are some of the best cases to get for this device?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you, I will be looking into those cases
I like the Seidio Active line, myself. I've used them on all of my Android phones and they offer great protection without adding much weight or bulk.
I bought the ballistic slim case, it should be arriving tomorrow. Seems decent, I bought other ballistic cases and was overall satisfied with them
That one protects very well. Just doesn't look too pretty haha

Incipio Silicrylic.
Had the Ballistics, Diztronic, Speck Candy shell Grip, Rocketfish TPU, and CIMO TPU....none lasted more than a few days with me. The Incipio is real nice. I almost want to pick up a second color.

Just purchased a incipio silicrylic, looking into the candyshell and feather cases now
Cool man! I don't doubt you will like it. I'm staying tuned to this thread as I have a bit of a case addiction.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
My wife uses the incipio sillicrylic it is a nice case, however I just cant stand the case being loose on the sides of my phone. I am using the speck candyshell and it is built well with no flapping of the inner layers.
The only knock against the candyshell is don't plan on taking it off and on a lot it is a beast to get the case off the phone.
Right now I'm using the Speck Candyshell with a Steinheil ultra crystal (I think) screen protector. I cn honestly say that out off all the cases I've used on all the phones I've owned, it seriously is amazing. Best one I've ever used. I always had an issue with dust, dirt, lint, or whatever else getting into my cases. So I started cleaning them every day. Well with this case, it's not an issue one bit!! It's a hybrid case. So it has a rock hard outer shell, with a nice hard silicone inside. The corners are almost "split" So if you drop it, the silicone will absorb all of the impact. Also, the edges on the front around the screen are all that same hard silicone. Couple it with a good seen protector and your good to go!!
Since its a hybrid case it doesn't add much thickness to the phone at all. It's amazing. Buttons all work perfect too.
It might be on the the expensive side, and a b*tch to get on and off at first... But it is WELL worth it!

I love my ROCK Quicksand case, looks great and adds no bulk, but grip. Won't protect your phone much, but.....be careful with it..

I have bought two Specks(red and black), both paired with Ghost Armor screen protectors...best part is how cases fitted for the 1X, w/o adding much bulk at all! Also my main concern was to protect lens - and it's just perfect...few mm over the camera

So the silicrylic case arrived today I do like it however the loose silicone does bother me a little bit.
Also the ballistic slim case is not what I anticipated it to be. I'll probably be selling that and picking up the candyshell or feather case.
Thank you all for the feedback up to this point I do appreciate it greatly.

When playing with the silicone, yeah it is (compared to the Ballistics case for instance) but in real use it's treated me well. Did you get the incipio in a color other than black? If so, I may be interested in purchasing from you if you don't want it.

I got it in the grey/volt or neon whatever you want to call it. I will keep you in mind if I decide to part with it. I found it on ebay for 14.99 I believe
As for now I am going to price the other cases and go from there.
Does it surprise anyone that there are so few options for cases with a flagship phone that has been out for over a month? I am looking at common manufacturers like Rearth and Ringke and coming up short. At least I can be reasonably content with the Gelli cases and the diztronic I bought. Looking at the Spigen site, and seeing the wealth of options for the Nexus 6, a phone that likely will only attract an extremely niche audience (even more niche than general Nexus users, of which I used to be one), I was really annoyed and surprised that they aren't doing cases for the Moto X.
I'm sure a lot of manufacturers are just waiting to see how well the X is selling before they invest time and money into designing cases. A lot of the big players were late out of the gate with the original X too.
OK, that perspective gives me hope.

UAG's new designs don't excite me as much as their older ones did. I've switched to Magpul for my favorite case, have one for my N5 and have one on order for my iPhone 6. It's highly unlikely they'll make a Moto X case though, unfortunately.
I never needed any armor type hard case. Just got the Trudia lightweight tpu case. All of my phones have had these similar lightweight tpu cases and have survived drops... so far.

Probably not much. The Moto X isn't a very popular phone.
Decent Otterbox deal
I got my Moto X last night. I just snatched up an Otterbox Defender on EBay for $40 shipped. Not too bad for a new Otterbox with beltclip.
How are you guys liking your phones? I got mine in the Cyber Monday deal direct from Motorola and got the Lollipop update immediately. Lots to love about this phone so far.

One of the very few reasons I miss ever having an iPhone was for the Magpul field case I had. Maybe one day the stars will align and I will have an android phone for which they make a case! *typed from iPad rMini with Magpul field case* [emoji12]

Glad I could help. ;p It makes holding the mini a lot more pleasant than holding it naked, sadly (damned slippery aluminum and sharp edges).

I have the i-blason case and its pretty nice, buttons are a bit harder to push now but its not a deal breaker.

Diztronic are the only TPU cases I'll ever buy. I have one for every one of my phones. Gonna order a Supcase hybrid case as well. I have one for my 2013 Moto X. They aren't the most comfortable case to hold but they look cool and they are cheap enough. I'd recommend looking into that as well as the Diztronic TPU.

Yeah, I have diztronic for my Moto x 2013 atm (and one in the mail for the new phone). Had the unicorn beetle for a little bit on the 2013 but wasn't a fan of the cheap-feeling plastic and the poor molding (read: sharp) on the bumper area.
EDIT: UAG case isn't going to happen. Email response from inquiry:
Hi ******,
Thanks for reaching out. We currently don't have plans for the Moto X 2nd Gen ; however, the landscape of our product road is a constantly evolving picture and this may become an option for us in the future.

Yeah, UAG only makes cases for the most popular phones. They had actually designed one for the 2013 X but ended up scrapping it. I don't even care about them anymore though, I am in love with Magpul. I'll shoot Magpul an email about the X, though I highly doubt they'll make a case for it. I was surprised that they made an N5 case though, so who knows.

For those of you feeling the pain with me from manufacturers not producing cases for the Moto X Pure, I reached out to Diztronic yesterday. They produce really well-designed and high quality TPU cases. I have never owned a shoddy case from them. They provided good news that cases for this device will be coming soon.
Sweet, I will probably getting one.
This is awesome, Diztronic has by far the best cases I have used. My last two phones (OPO and iPhone 6 Plus) I used their cases.
Pretty good company, I hope they make a bumper... Or something to show off my ash wood back

Motorola is shipping them with a bumper this year so rest assured that you'll be able to show off your ash. Heh. Post a pic of it when it comes too I'm interested to see how it looks. I'm personally torn between bamboo or walnut with red accents
God I hope they make a transparent back
Great news. I purchased multiple cases for my devices. And one of them is always Diztronic. Simple, clean, always a perfect fit, just enough protection without bulking up a phone too much. And generally reasonably priced on Amazon.

I love their cases. I never had a screen break when using one of their cases. And that's with some hard drops. I'm only considering bumpers though.

This is a two-part case, inner hard case and outer TPU bumper. According to the description anyway. A 2-part case is sure to add bulk. Not quite what I am looking for like from Diztronic.

Here is a video of the same case (i-blason) for the galaxy s6 for reference. I wish it was thinner but otherwise it looks very good. Probably the best to show off your motomaker design. I wonder if the clear tpu will get discolored.

I had asked Diztronic a week ago on status and received the exact same response as author of the original post...so no ETA yet. Disappointing. Also noticed Zagg is not supporting this phone either.
Pure isn't getting any love from case makers....
Sent from my Moto X Pure
Pure has no love from most accessory makers. Motorola probably didn't do what's necessary ($$$) to get that moving.
Hello,
I have a Moto X Pure on the way and I would like to get a case for it that allows me to show the phones back colors while protecting it to some degree and not make it so much larger and bulkier. The phones back color is Deep Sea Blue
The cases that stand out to me are the Incipio Octane, I-Blason Halo & Vena Retain. Do you folks have other suggestions ?
Any experience or input if those cases would allow the Blue to show through ?
Thanks,
Pete
I got a clear TPU case from EBay for $4 and its very slim and fell nice in hand since the back curves with the phone.
I just picked up a pleson clear case from amazon for 7.95 the other week, So far i like the case alot, its very slim and fits great
If you want a completely clear case and are comfortable with all TPU - then +1 on the Pleson: http://amzn.to/1NuSTcr, or if you want a hybrid (Colored TPU sides with a hard clear back) then the Vena Retain is a good choice too: http://amzn.to/1OCskTL.
I have both, and my personal choice as a daily driver is the Pleson. It's a bit slimmer and really shows off the back of my red leather. But either are good choices.
I have the i-Blason case. I think it was about $14 on Amazon. Thin. Shows the back fine and has a bumper (I got the black bumper). I think the only case thinner would be one without a bumper.
I appreciate all the info guys...I wonder what the difference between the I-Blason and Vena case is, are the materials the same, anyone have both ?

idk if it helps, but this is the aforementioned Incipio Octane. I wanted the same, a semitransparent case that was well made and would hold up and also still fit after i applied a dbrand skin. Incipio sells these on ebay directly. Express Depot is the name of their store, iirc.
i also bought a dual pro as that is my go-to case for any phone, but i keep going back to the Octane. pictures in ads/on websites dont do it justice.
i've got one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/12205791935...49&var=421092565560&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT from Poetic...they have with and without the black trimming...so you can go completely clear if you'd like.
Just received my case. Wanted to share a few photos. The case looks incredible, but offers little protection as the top and bottom are open. Looks and feel In hand are top notch. Would recommend!
I have one as well! Very sick case!! Does not fit with my skinomi clear shield so if anybody wants to purchase at a better deal then their site PM ME!!!
Is the case slippery at all? How about thickness, does it add some bulk for one handed use (I have an XL).
Case does look great.
If you don't mind me asking, what screen protector are you using?

In hand feel is amazing. It's a very minimal style case. The soft touch sides make it easy to hang on to. It dosent feel like any more size than most TPU cases.

The case does add some bulk to it so don't be fooled by pictures or anything. I do like the feel and look of the case but I am not a fan of the thickness and if I knew it was that thick I would have not gotten it. I immediately put it on, used it for about an hour and took it off because of thickness. Doesn't feel that slippery in the hands because of the grip on the sides. It's a very nice case I'm just not that big a fan of it.
Case looks ridiculously THICK for copying the "thin fit" design of many other cases... not a fan.
If only it wrapped around the top and bottom...
With the case on the phone it measures...
10.7 mm top thickness
9.1 mm bottom thickness
78 mm width
Dosent seem that bluky by the numbers in relation to no case. However to each their own.
Cheers, J.
I always wanted to try their cases!!! So glad they have one for the Pixel/XL. Ordered mine now!
I love this case!! Looks and feels great.
