LG Nexus 4 Incipio Feather

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but I noticed that Incipio is now selling the feather 'Ultra Thin Snap-On Case' for the Nexus 4: http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...s-4-cases/lg-google-nexus-4-feather-case.html
I think they are too late to the game, if you ask me. There are too many case manufacturers offering the same hard shell snap on cases, and they all look the same. The only possible benefit of the feather case is that comes in more vibrant colours. However, at a price of $24.99, I can't see why someone would purchase this over the $9.99 Ringke Slim...
I also found a video review in case any of you are interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gThV8Ie6Rc

I went with the poetic slim case from amazon. It was cheaper than the Ringke Slim and has a little coverage on the top and bottom (unlike the Ringke and the Incipio).
$25 is too much imo

Is Incipio a good brand?

I had one on my nexus s and loved it, very nice fit with good access to buttons and protection was good for the size. Not sure how it is on an n4 but don't let the price scare you, well worth it in my opinion.

Incipio feather case is the best slim case for N4 IMO. You can buy it cheaper on amazon.com.

For way cheaper you can get a better looking case from Poetic. Poetic Palette. http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Palette-Premium-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B00ANGOICC
IMO nothing special about the Incipio Feather.

I do and works great for me.

When I first got my phone, the first case I checked out was the Incipio feather. Saw it online and said to myself, "like hey that one looks good". I wanted to see it in person first so I found it at a Fido store. I tried it on my phone but didn't like it. The sides didn't come up all the way on the phone if I remember correctly. Some slim cases have a bit of a lip on side of the phones incase you want to rest it front face down and I found the top and bottom too open. Then again all slim cases generally look the same anyways. Ended up get the Rearth Ringke fusion but I found that kinda bulky a bit. I got the first batch when it came out and those had problems with the buttons being to hard to press. Using the OEM LG bumper now.

OEM LG Bumper does crack on the USB port.. happened to me without ever dropping the phone / case.
For the Rearth case, simply use a knife and do the cut outs. Mines is the first version and the buttons feel great. Google on the cut outs. It was posted on reddit and its somewhere on XDA (probably main Fusion thread)

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.

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.

Thoughts on Spigen cases

I just placed an order for Spigen Neo Hybrid case for my HTC One m9. I was wondering if anyone has experiences with these cases on previous HTC One devices. Also any good recommendations for a tempered glass screen protector would be awesome.

I have the Spigen crystal clear Hybrid on my silver M9 and I love it , But I will be purchasing a more protective case .

I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid Case for my M9.
It fits perfectly and looks awesome on the phone.
it protects the whole back and the sides. In addition it is a bit thicker on the top side (display), so it protects the display too, if you lay down the phone upside down.

I got the spigen neo hybrid for the m9. Looks fantastic and it does add some protection however I feel like it is not enough for everyday use. I will put this case aside for special occasions and will order a UAG case for everyday use

Got mine through Amazon Prime for $21.00. It's a nice case, but it's temporary until I can get a SEIDO OBEX once they are available.

Could any owners of the neo hybrid chime in on the button stiffness of the case? I find that I'm accidentally hitting the power button pretty frequently without a case.

I have the Neo Hybrid and love the hell out of it. I have the gunmetal M9 with the gunmetal case
The buttons are a bit stiffer but I still find that I hit it anyways. The location will take some time getting used to as I'm coming from the M7. BY FAR, THE BEST CASE I'VE SEEN AND FELT ON A PHONE!
Any other questions, feel free....

I got Spigen Thin Fit off ebay uk for £6.99 + delivery. It fits well and helps stop you hitting the power button by accident when you pick it up.
I have the silver M8 but got the Gunmetal one. It looks pretty good. Small lip on the left and the right. Only good for small drops directly on the back, front and sides, but very minimal.

this case is awesome its bulky and not bulky at the sametime - in fact, this case is just slightly larger than their crystal clear series, and because of the fact that this phone is still only 5", with the slight bulkiness, it actually makes the phone larger in presentation; a very good thing, the metalized buttons has very very good feedback, its easy to press (once applied on correctly) - everything fits just right! even better than their crystal clear series. - i got the black n gold. looks amazing.
@METALLICAM - the reason why you're saying the outer metalized buttons are hard to press is probably because you do not have the outer ring and the rubber case fitted correctly (this took me a few mins to figure out) because when you slap on the ring around it, it feels and looks like its "tight on" but its actually not, simply hard press/pull from the top of the phone, you'll see that the ring starts to slide-in more into the rubber mounts, and do that with the bottom speaker aswell.

I got both the Spigen Neo Hybrid and Strong-Flex cases and love them both. The strong flex is pretty thin and durable and the neo hybrid is good looking and durable also.

A little over rated. No doubt they are built to look really cool, but as far as protection goes it's not the best. Also touch wood it doesn't happen to you, but if you have any problems with it, getting through to their returns department is terrible.
Other than the after sales care, their cases are okay, but would recommend trying other brands, there's plenty available at decent prices

Where are the cases?

Pre ordered the Moto X Pure. But looking for a nice tpu or bybrid case. Usually, there's a lot of cases available for a phone before the phone releases. But not the Pure/Style. I know there's a a few on amazon etc... But those cases are junk. Cheap made and will fall apart in a week. I see that incipio has one and ugly otterbox. But never really liked incipio and otterbox. But where are, seidio, Griffin, Belkin, UAG, Spigen???

I doubt UAG will have a case for the moto x pure but I would love it if they did.

Most of the high quality, big name companies didn't make for the previous 2nd Generation model, so they probably aren't for this. Maybe they have some kind of pay to play scheme and Moto isn't paying.

Well, for right now, I went for the MoKo. Less then $10. Hope it will hold till UAG or Spigen releases one. Or Supcase...

People seem to like the variant of it for the Moto G or whatever. The Amazon reviews are about the best feedback you're going to get for the moment. I bought a number of $3-4+shipping cases myself. I don't feel like buying a $30 Incipio case at the moment... And my old phone is still using a cheap case I put on it back in 2012, so I've had good experiences with the cheaper ones anyway.

It will hold. I have had that case for quite a few phones. It is just a bit bulky. I like it for phones under 5 inches and it was OK on the 2014 moto X.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

Has anyone seen any cases like the flip shell for the Moto G? Most of these add to the already bulky look of the phone (and don't protect the screen).

I ordered this one (http://amzn.com/B013HSX5L2). I'm actually looking forward to the transparent back. I got the Ash wood back.

I ordered this case before my MXP arrived and had it waiting. I wish it was a little snugger fit, but it'll do for $8 shipped until something better comes along.
(Yes, the volume buttons are labeled incorrectly)

I just got my Moko. I'm not a fan. So far it seems well made, but the holster is backwards when I wear it on my left side.
In addition, it's off-center, so I'm always putting the phone in the wrong way, and the phone can't go in with screen facing out, which makes the the much more stable holster clipstand useless.

Hi,
Just received the Incipio DualPro case. Fit is good, buttons respond well.
Decent dual layer protection. Back is a little slick/slippery.
I'll use it for a while and see how I like it,

Here it is: http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...ualpro-case-motorola-moto-x-pure-edition.html

I got the incipio octane and i really like it. The incipio dual pro is too slick to hold on to though

Does anyone have a pic of the Incipio Octane with frost back?
I'll give you a thank for it lol

Are there any bumpers besides the one that comes in the box..preferably TPU? The one that comes with the phone is a hard plastic that makes the vibration super loud on a desk, but I also don't want to cover the case with a full back.
Anybody found one?

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

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.

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.
