Hi guys, I bought a local case for my Moto X Play and its made of hard rubber. It feels very solid but the buttons are too rigid. So I am looking to change to a new one.
I would probably buy something from Flipkart or Amazon.in because C-O-D is easiest for me and was wondering if you guys could give me some recommendations.
The phone's pretty big as is and I don't want too bulky a case but something with nice cutouts, since I got a Tronsmart Quick Charger with its bigger micro-usb plug.
I broke my S4 by dropping it so something with a bit of protection would not go amiss however.
Hope for some nice suggestions, budget around ₹500, maybe stretch a little bit above.
My Diztronic TPU is very satisfactory and has correctly sized cutouts for cables and whatnot. Depends on how much protection you're looking for.
This cost about ₹1,000 in the UK, not sure what the price would be elsewhere.
Thanks for responding. I checked it out and its there on Amazon India. Looks to be a nice case, guessing you went for the black edition of the case? Do you have the white MXP or the black one? I have the black one myself.

Yeah, I went with the black version of the case and a generally dark theme in Moto Maker when I bought the phone itself. Darker colours tend to be more versatile and show their age less immediately than lighter colours, I find.

Perhaps I ought to know from "TPU." but, is the back of the case a soft feel or hard?
The back of the X Play has a good feel and is easy to grip. I made the mistake of buying a flip case with a hard shell, which is neither.
halui, thanks for pointing out that it is available on Amazon.in
anyone knows where to get rubber case, not TPU real rubber? I have searched many places but didn't get.

I got mine from the local street seller for about ₹100 and it definitely feels like real rubber. The power and volume buttons are pretty stiff and not easily press able though.

I had a TPU case for my Galaxy S4 and it had very soft buttons so I am sure your case won't be an issue either. This is a local case though, rubberised plastic and has stiff buttons.

I'm really stupid. I got it into my head that this was a flip cover, because that is what I want. Of course it isn't, and the product page shows that as clearly as showing that it isn't an elephant! doh!
Anyway, looks like the seller will kindly accept the return, even though the reason is customer stupidity.
Does anyone know a good flip case made from this kind of material.
For anyone who knows the Mi stuff, what I want is something like the Mi smart-flip for my flood-destroyed m4i. That was just perfect...
My moto flip case don't give me any trouble and wasn't that expensive.

Do you use screen protectors? Used these rubber cases and always end with scratches on my screen with older phones after some months.

I haven't seen any videos of this case, so I thought I'd put together a quick review for you guys. It's a pretty neat case, I kind of prefer it to the TPU-Cases model, I just wish the top was completely covered.
Also, the title should read "qubits" not "quibits".
Love the video, looks very professional. On a quick note. I wanted to point out that Yoobao has a somewhat similar TPU case with that missing top part that you mention was missing cover.
Here is a link for it:

I have this Yoobao but I decided I wanted to keep the cheapie kickstand case. I still haven't opened it to test it. I can do that or if you want I can sell it to anyone here for 10bux shipped, if you are in the USA. I posted this in the marketplace, but I do not think many others venture out of the device forums lol

How does it fit? Is it really tight? I'm looking for a TPU case because the Tmob case I got when I got the phone is simply way too floppy and loose. That Yoobao you posted is exactly what I'm looking for because I want a clear case to show off the phone's design. If the fit is tight and the cutouts all align nicely I'm purchasing it immediately lol.
To stay on topic, the OP's video looks very professional and I've looked at the Qubits case a lot too.

It fits like a glove, no flimsiness and not loose at all! Every single cutout is made EXACTLY where it needs to be. I was amazed by that.
Thanks for the review. Looks like a better case than the rubber one I got from T-Mobile for $20. The case is too loose around the sides. I already scraped the side with my key. I will be buying one of these TPU's.

1 more question: how long did it take for you to get it? I really want to try it out, but I'm leaving for college in 13 days, so the fact that it's shipping from Hong Kong kinda makes me worried that I wouldn't get it in time.
If in the uk amazon sell the grey one through a seller named "podjunkie" bit the order is fufilled by amazon

That was a great review, thanks! I think I'm going to pick up the smoked one, but I would love if the black one had the middle clear like the smoked one does. Right now I have the Incipio NGP but the open volume rocker and clear center make this very appealing
Sorry for the mega-necro, but I am selling all of my leftover HTC Sensation accessories at very low prices. Please help out a student and check out my marketplace posting.

i got similar case ( black , not transparent and slightly different in design) as OP from amazon for $5.99 with free 2 days shipping ( 4 bucks cheaper ^^). This is really good case, fit tight and look awesome. As OP said,only weak point is that this case doesn't cover the top ( i guess they decide to design this way so you can put in/ or take off the case easier. I have similar type of this case for my mytouch 4G, my nexus S and it is a little bit more difficult to take the case off or put it in) This is always my first choice when i buy my phone's case.

Hi. I'm searching for something like the C740 but for the One X. I know about the Rock Quicksand, but sadly, this isn't available in Austria.
Any ideas? thanks much

Nice, I like the Barely There Case very much, although the camera protection could be improved. Thanks kontra!
Btw. I don't get why HTC won't produce a case like the C740 for the One X? Those buyers are probably their best customers.

No problem. I have the Spigen case so I can't say much about the Case Mate one. The opening for the camera on the Spigen sticks out a bit more so it offers some protection to the lens.
There's a trade off between the two. The case mate fits better but you lose out on lens protection. There's a small gap on the top left and right when I have the Spigen on the phone and the cutout for the flash is misaligned but the case feels really good in your hands and the flash doesn't seem to be affected.
Another option is this which is similar to the case mate.

I've been using this for about a week now and am quite happy with it. I used Nillkin minimal cases on my last 2 phones and this one seems to offer A LITTLE bit more coverage. More than the Case-Mate as well. The edges don.t raise higher than the screen though so a screen protector is a must (one comes with it). Ill share pics if youd like.

Thanks stnguyen, looks like you got the case mate for a while now, are you happy so far?
Also, this might be a though question to answer, but do you folks by any chance know of a leader case that might fit the HOX while wearing one of these hardshells?
Think I'm gonna get the Incipio Feather since it gives the best edge protection and it also seems to be made of the same (kinda) material as the C740, which has a really nice feel to it.
Btw, some additional options I found (sorry, not allowed to post links):
* Krusell ColorCover (not enough edge protection)
* Twins Shield Mesh (not enough edge protection and I don't know about the material)
Imo the best slim hard case is the Amzer shellster. I have that and the barely there. They are almost exactly the same except the shellster covers the camera very nicely. Lemme know if you want pics

This is NOT what the actual case look slike. There is a little strip of plastic running at the top of the USB port cutout which prevents the USB cable from securely plugging into the port.
This is a real PITA and a shame, I am sending the case back to Incipio. I can't understand why the actual design does not match what they sent me, I just ordered a week ago. Perhaps they are selling off old stock, buyer beware!
None of my plugs have a problem snapping into place.
Does anybody know if the spigen case in white matches the white on the HOX? Reason I ask is because I have the white speck case, and it doesn't match at all so I never use it. It's just one of those things that bother me...

You kinda sound like me. While the color of the Spigen case looks close to the white on the HOX, the fitment isn't great. It bugs me and I know it'll bug you. Lol.

I know right! I'm using a similar case for my tablet, and I take it out whenever I'm at home. For the Nexus 4 though, that could be a very dangerous thing to do... Then again, with the current case I'm using, the bulk makes it difficult to have a one-hand operation anyway.
Ordered this case on Monday from ebay, just waiting for it to arrive from Korea to Singapore. Ordered Lime green/Navy blue and Mint/Navy blue. Will post again once I receive it.
This case is pretty good. The tpu inside is a tight fit and the speaker, cut outs are ample and precise. The colours are pretty funky too. This is the mint/navy blue version. Just received it today

Liking it so far. I think it's worth getting as it can protect the front screen although the power buttons are little tough to reach but it's possible to get used to. Using proximity screen off so that's not really an issue for me
Realize this thread is a little old but I just received mine today and am pleasantly surprised. I have tried a couple of flip cases for my Nexus 4 (Poetic, PDair) and have been disappointed. This one is nicely made, feels good, and has a nice magnetic clasp. I especially like the fact that, if you choose to put credit cards in it, the edges of the embedded TPU case prevent the cover from coming in contact with the screen.
It only failed one requirement I had for such a case... and that is easy removal. Since the back of the TPU case is covered with the hard wallet material, it makes it a bit tougher to get the Nexus out. But considering I have yet to be pleased with any of the other flip cases this is now no longer one of my requirements. A steal for under 10 bucks!

I'm located near Shenzhen China and have been to the stores, which are actually entire buildings, where they manufacture and sell these cases.
These cases are essentially replicas, but they definitely do a good job of copying the real mercury cases, down to the very minute details. Some stores have better replicas than others, for example these Fancy Diary cases may have the threading skipped on the edges, fraying, or discoloration. Here at ground zero, you can pick these cases up in bulk for $15 - $20 RMB which is slightly over $2 USD on average.
Not saying these cases aren't worth it, but just thought it would be interesting to let you know where these cases came from. Being that the price was so cheap, I definitely picked up a few cases myself for friends and family without even thinking twice.
Not being able to decide, which from the two should I pick. Any suggestion?
Tell me which one would YOU pick for yourself and why?

I'm actually waiting for the bear motion sand textured cases. I hope they make them for the new phone. I was hoping to snag one before my phone gets here.

yea i dont mind either the smooth or sand. these are just the only tolerable cases because they are slim and don't make the phones even bigger
I have a hard time not buying a case from rearth. I freaking love their cases, just ordered mine from there.

I messaged bear motion on Facebook and they said they will be producing cases for the new moto X but they have no ETA at the moment.
Does rearth have one that is like the slim bear motion
I ordered this case and, while I don't normally use cases, I'm very happy with it. I won't have the phone to go with it for a while, but my old Droid DNA fits in it and I can tell that I wouldn't have a problem using the new X with a case on 24/7...really nice feeling, I think it's the curves.

I also ordered this one too, just in case (for $8 or whatever it's no biggie)..

I ordered the case from your first link too. For only 10 bucks I figured it would hold me over until the bear motion snap on cases come out. My case will be here tomorrow but who knows when the phone will arrive.
I like the motomaker bumper case, protects the edges but shows the design of your phone. Hopefully some aftermarket companies will start making bumper cases for a better price.

These all make these giant phones even more giant - so unwieldy

Given the shape of the Moto X, will a bumper case sufficiently protect the back of the phone, specifically the center? I like the idea of that bumper case, I'm just worried that since the phone tapers around the edges that the fat part of the phone in the middle will be susceptible to scratches and since I'm planning on a wood back that's a no go.

it looks thick enough that it'll raise the phone just a tad bit. i usually lay my phone face down, to protect the display. i am hoping the bumper gives enough lift so the front speaker grills don't get scratched

not really. i had a bumper case for my n4, and that did not add much bulk to it. it actually felt good in the hand. i could be totally wrong with this phone though

^^^ This ^^^
The bear motion cases add very little bulk to the devices and seem to protect the edges very nicely (at least they did on the Gen 1). Hopefully they will offer a 2014 model.

That looks to be a nillkin case....
The bumper is good. I have it on right now. Yes, it makes it a little thicker, but all cases do. So it'll be the same as having a full body case on

Looks like the bear motion cases are in stock now. I just ordered the black, blue and grey versions and it looks like I got the last one of each. It shows back in stock on Oct. 2nd though

Ugh, again they cover the dimple. The original was probably the best case I've ever used, but how the hell do they decide to cover the dimple? I actually like the one on the 2nd gen more than the first.
edit: interestingly enough, the back of the phone isn't right in those pics on amazon. the flash isn't correct. here's hoping there's a chance they do have a cutout, even if i doubt it.

Yeah I'm not sure what phone that is in the photos. It's not even the 1st gen moto X because I have several of those cases and they look nothing like that. I don't mind that they cover the dimple, but to each his own.
I have ReD trims but item is not available until end of october

I am really interested in this new Tudia GLOST ceramic feel tempered glass back case for my Essential phone:
Tudia Glost Case for Essential Phone PH-1
I know the thing isn't available (at least according to Amazon) until December 8th... but I just thought I'd see what everyone else thinks about it. Looks pretty cool, just don't know how much bulk or weight this might add to the phone. Plus I've never had any Tudia cases, so not familiar with them and how well they feel/fit.
Anyone else considering this case? Thoughts?

Got one on order, but can't tell you much about the company or cases but looks pretty sweet
Have the black case and is very nice.
I have the marble one on order I'll post pictures when they release it.
Can someone check to see if the tempered glass part is easily replaceable or if it can be taken off? Was looking at this thinking I could turn it into a bumper case.

I had the exact same thought and this is my chief interest in getting one. If I had to guess it would be that the rear plate is molded into the rubber and not easily removable but hopefully I'm wrong.

So how much weight and 'bulk' does the black case add to the phone? Would you think it adds so much that it wouldn't fit anymore into a somewhat snug belt-loop holster?

Yeah, I would guess the same thing - looks (from the picture) like it's molded right around the glass and it wouldn't be easy to remove.... I just wonder how 'breakable' that glass really is?

Can we get a real life pic of the GLOST case? I am considering the Ocean Green but may settle on Black since I am not sure what the green would look like in person. Do the sides provide any grip? I see there is some pinstriping of some sort, is that just for looks?

The case is nice and snug does not add any bulk to the phone worth noting. Also the weight in minimal. I am positive that you will like the case.

I don't think we'll get a 'real life' picture of it now, since it isn't supposed to even be released until Dec 8; it is available for pre-order though; hence why I was asking...
This is what shows up for it on Amazon, though:

Ah, OK.... I think he was talking about the other Tudia case, the one available now. I had asked since I figured they might be somewhat similar.

There are websites that will 3d print it for you if you do t have access, my brother in law has one and is gonna print me one, I'll post pics and a review if anyone is interested
Well I went ahead and ordered the GLOST case from Amazon, not supposed to be available till the 8th AT THE LEAST. Figured if I don't like it I can return it for a different one.
I'll report back on it once I receive it!
In stock on Amazon NOW. Don't forget to apply the 15% off coupon.
Is the Glost case slimmer than the Tudia Tamm case? I have that one already. It's fine, but I'd prefer something slimmer.

what is the promo code?
Drop and scratch test
Tudia posted two videos of this case to their facebook page. I'd link to it but I am not allowed to post links yet.
Drop test was from ~5ft, no damage to phone
Scratch Test was using a razor blade on the back of the case, no damage.
Looks like a pretty decent case, now I just need to find a source in Canada.
