Moto X Case Gallery - 4 different cases

2014 Moto X Case Gallery
Hello everyone, I just though I would make a nice post here showcasing 4 different cases on the Moto X. It's really just 3 cases, but 2 color variations of the standard Supcase Unicorn Beetle(frost/frost & red/frost). Also pictured are the Unicorn Beetle Heavy Duty case in black/blue, as well as the i-Blason black TPU case. I love the i-Blason case for how sleek and nice it looks, and it also has a nice grip to it even though the glossy sides might suggest otherwise. The frost Unicorn Beetle cases work well for showing off the back of your customized Moto X, without "desaturating" the colors too much. The frost part is quite smooth and so it doesn't "trap" the color from shining through in all its glory. Also, the Unicorn Beetle Heavy Duty case feels quite great in the hand and I find the buttons are easy to press. It certainly gives you way more bang for your buck than the Otterbox cases, and the built-in screen protector is crystal clear and and doesn't interfere with the responsiveness of the Moto X's screen.
So what do you guys think and which Moto X case(s) are currently your favorite? I am waiting for Seidio to come out with a DILEX case for it.

Heres what the iblason looks like on the moto x 2014

With the Frost & Clear case you can tell that the phone has a custom back. It doesn't look awful. I tried the Case-Mate Hula bumper but I felt the protection wasn't there.

Metal Case
Here is a Metal case that just came out is in stock this week. If anyone wants any pics I'll post them. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TQ2VWMS

This is my goto case, it is thethiniest out of the few that I have tried. I just wish the gloss black parts of the case didn't look so cheap.

Can you post pics of them with phone?

I bought a shockproof case so in case I drop it, the screen may be spared. It's pretty grippy too, so that's a good thing, and I can access all the ports pretty easy. The down side is, it is grippy, so getting the phone out of my pocket fast isn't as easy, but I figure it's a fair tradeoff.
ok, I'm not allowed to post a pic yet, but it's on ebay and called a hybrid shockproof case for moto x
Not bad for the price of like $4.

Oakwood FireFlex skin: Next best thing to having the genuine wood back from Motorola

Just brought my moto x 2014 and I loving it. The only problem though is I got the standard black model. I was very jealous of the wood ones you can get on moto maker. So i decided to get a vinyl skin. Got a FireFlex vinyl and I love it . looks like the real thing and has a great texture. Take a look www.fire-flex.co.uk

Upgrade for Wifey

My wife's first smart phone was the OG Moto X, she loved it so decided to upgrade her this week.
Got the 64gb wood back 2014 model.
I already got her the tempered glass but I'm so confused on what to do with the case.
Obviously I don't want to civet that gorgeous back but I don't see any good clear cases.. Or should I just go with a bumper? She has been known to be a little clumsy, plus we have toddlers so I don't want anything too flimsy.
Any recommendations? Thanks

The wood back is pretty sturdy - I have it on my OG Moto X with a bumper and it never scratched. It is not slippery either.
I would get her a bumper or if you want a clear case, the case-mate naked tough case is nice.

I second the naked tough case. I have it on my 64gb pure with the wood back. A little smooth and can be slippery, but the humid summer should help out with that.

On reddit there is a case thread started by someone with a wood backed Moto X.

Moto X Pure Cases from Diztronic

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

Great news

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.

i-blason

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.

Diztronic just listed cases for Moto X Play on Amazon and their website, so hopefully the Moto XPE cases will be soon.

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....

Pure has no love from most accessory makers. Motorola probably didn't do what's necessary ($$$) to get that moving.

Slim Case thats semi translucent

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 ?

I use the Vena vskin, what I like about it is its totally clear, fits the moto x snugly, easy to push the buttons and the back isnt a hard plastic but softer so it doesn't scratch up at all, Plus it was cheap, got it off ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Flexible-Tr...id=100040&rk=1&rkt=4&mehot=pp&sd=381431952096

Hello Talon, I no longer have the Moto X Pure but rather the LG Nexus 5X, if you have a case for that model i would be happy to review it for XDA and Amazon
Thanks,

I'll review the case! My wife has the moto x pure and we have not yet been super pleased with any case yet. She has been sticking with the incipio octane but we were thinking about ordering your guys' case to replace it since people really seem to dig it!

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.
