I love Speck cases but they need more options. Only two colors for the Pixel XL. Black or Clear.

Pricey!! Good cases though. Just not sure I'll pay that much for a case anymore. Too many cheaper options that are as good

$45 are they on drugs? No thanks Speck. Overpriced garbage.

Got my black one for the XL on order from vzw.com. With my discount it was like $29. I'll post pics when it comes in.

Got the Presidio case in and i like it. It's similar to the old Grip cases that Speck makes. I've attached a few pics with size comparisons to the Moto Z Force and a 1st gen Moto X. Now I just need the phone!! :good:

I like the clear case, however I cannot find anywhere in Canada selling Speck? Amazon.ca only has iphone and speck.com doesn't ship internationally... that stuff drives me ape.

have to say i'm really surprised with this case. gray/black official google case was very nice but to say it is a lint magnet is an understatement. so i purchased the speck presidio today. you have to see it in person and feel it with your phone in it to appreciate it. it looks pretty clean with the silver xl. can imagine how stealthy it would look with the quite black.
i really can't say one bad thing about the case other than its price. they managed to keep it thin. as a matter of fact, it feels thinner than the clear case that they offer. the buttons offer clicky feedback, it's easy to take on and off, and doesn't scratch like the speck cases of old.
the best thing about this case? when you drop it, it bounces. almost like a rubber ball soft corners help with that). i feel super comfortable and i'm not not as careful when handling the xl now.
had the spigen ultra hybrid, clear speck, official google clear, and official google gray/black. this is easily the best of them all...imo.

yep. not sure how to get a discount though. sometimes with these case manufacturers you can leave an item in the cart and partially go through the purchase process (quit the purchase right before confirming the order) and they'll email you a percentage off. other times of you subscribe to their mailing list they'll give you a percentage off. didn't try it in this instance however. of course getting a discount on it at the vzw store won't happen.

I kind of love it.
I came from the spigen rugged armor and this is a little bigger, but not by much at all. It fits well and it does not seem to add that much bulk over all. Also the keys are responsive to the touch and I think the grips are set into the case a little better. With my last Spec case I had some of the grips peal, this one feels sturdier. It goes on and comes off pretty easy, but it doesn't feel like it's going to fall off. It's definitely my new daily driver.

I got my clear case with the Silver XL and it looks great. Coming from a Nexus 6 with no case, it's not too big at all. In fact, after I put the case on this, they're almost the same exact size. Got mine for about $35 after a 25% discount at the Verizon store. I know it's a crazy amount of money, but the case is great.

I got the Black Presidio on ebay. New In Box $19.99 when Speck and Verizon charge $45. Wish they had the blue though. I think it looks good with the quite black

Diztronic Case Review

I was bored enough so here is a simple review of the Diztronic TPU case for the One X.
First impressions of it, it looks like most standard TPU cases. the one thing that really caught my eye was the matte backing and the glossy sides which imitates that of the phone how it has a matte back and glossy sides at least in the case of the grey version of the One X.

Also shown in the pics you can see the cutouts for the rear speaker, headphone jack, power rocker, volume rockers, and USB port Which with them cut out like that they are super easy to press.
Fitment wise this thing fits the ATT One X like a dream, infact the fitment is so close it does take a little pressure getting the remaining two sides of the phone into the case.
an overall back view of the case installed, the cutouts for the rear speaker and the camera's LED are perfect, the camera isn't covered up all that great but, laying it on a desk or table it doesn't hit the camera bezel.
Heres a closer look of the camera area of the case when installed, as you can see the cutout is rather big but i have yet to have the lense or the bezel make contact with what the phone is resting on.
for the final picture i opted to take one with the screen protector installed just so everyone can see how it lines up. at the top its maybe a 1mm gap at the top and bottom, the sides have 4/5mm gap side to side, which i could live with, using a wet apply screen protector with this case WILL make the sides bubble up.
Overall, I love how this case feels when it is installed, how it feels in the hand. Almost like nothing is even on the phone, it's lightweight and very minimal bulk. The screen protector is a bit lacking on the sides but with the curved glass, what can you expect. Overall a very damn good case in my opinion hope you enjoyed the review.
Thank you for your review. Mine should arrive Monday.

I thought it would help some since I didnt see an actual review of the case but the one that I had bought was this one
"Matte Back Translucent Black"
i dont like the case at all, dust tends to get under the case some how... by looking at it, its not a tight fit but oh well, this will hold until i figure out what case i should buy

Cool. I generally despise TPU cases but I need something thin so I'm gonna give it a shot. Can't beat the price.

I never cared to much for them either until i had my sgs2 with a incipio ngp, from there on i liked them. my normal choice for a case was otterbox but i didnt wanna put a bulky case on this slim device. so got to looking around on amazon and seen the diztronic.
Thanks for the review. I ordered two from Amazon. I've always like TPU cases, especially the ones made by Diztronic.
I had the white matte one for 3 days now. It fits perfectly just like op said. Light, beautiful.

yes please i'd love to see how this looks like in white. i hope its similar to the this one
I have been using the clear one on my white HOX as well.
It is pretty good, minimal bulk considering it is TPU and perfect fit, but it is still not as minimalistic as the official HTC clear hard case C700, but it will do the job fine till I get hold of the HTC one which fits AT&T XL phone, it will also be better because it protects the camera, the Diztronic case doesn't, or very minimal protection since it is cut outside the metal frame around the lens.
Just got mine in, color me surprised... I actually like it! This marks the very first TPU case that I don't mind having on my phone. Very slim, minimal bulk, and fits perfectly. My only complaint is that it makes the hardware buttons difficult to press but I can deal with that until something better comes along. I have like 6 other cheap cases enroute from China so we'll see when they come.
Ordered diztronic clear case on Tuesday, should be arrive on Saturday. I'm still waiting for the HTC hc v701 to be reviewed with att one x. Anyone tried it? Is it fit perfect with att model?

I really do like this case but the camera touches when it's laid on its back. Case quality is great. Dust does get behind it but since it's so easy to take off it's not a big deal. As long as you can remember to put your phone face down your fine with this case.
+1 to this case...MUCH better than the orange plastic one from HTC that I had....
Can't beat this deal off Amazon for 10 bucks
Also the clear version of this case with the white HOX looks great!
This TPU case looks nice. I am a fan of matte type of products! I just placed in my order through ebay. Thank you for sharing!
I like the case aside from the fact that its pretty fricken dirty after only 4 days. Gonna try to clean with alcohol wipes. Anybody have other suggestions?

Slim Hard Shell

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.

On a side note: Having to wait 2 minutes before I can edit my post is really lame...
Here's a thread on the case-mate. There are pictures too of my own HOX sporting a Barely-There (let me know if the pics are broken...I'm at work and I can't see them).

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

Stay away from the Incipio Feather. Here is what they claim the cutout for the USB port looks like:

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...

Matches very well.
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.

Mercury is a Korean brand, and it is "产地:韩国,MADE IN KOREA". Of course, this being taobao, it could also end up being an imitation.

The blue & green is really cool ! The problem with this sort of case it's that changes the way to hold the phone, it's less comfortable.

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?

The top one cause I don't like the green in the bottom one. Not a big fan of bright neon colors. The top one looks classy and the bottom looks like a toy IMHO.

Just bought the hottest case for my S4. Found this site LowProCases and got the black tempered glass screen protector option. Best Case I ever bought. Ive been leaching off this forum for years and this is the first time I had anything to contribute. Found a promo code " Pro " and got 15% off and free shipping. So happy
I copied the picture off their site

Looks pretty nice can you post some pics of your actual device in it? I prefer consumer pics over staged ones.

that looks like a beast! big but protective. that black tempered glass looks cool, how's the overall size compared to the phone? any way you can take a picture of the phone out of the case and place it next to it?:good:
Wow looks really cool

The case adds very little to the over all size. It does weight more but feels solid. You actually remove the battery cover and replace it with the carbon fiber texture back battery cover. Again the nicest case Ive ever seen for any phone. I get people asking all the time what phone I have and half the time they have an S4. I started they strangers I got the limited edition S4 lol:silly:
Looks pretty cool. I'm interested in seeing more pics from you as well.

Looks cool but i wont buy any case without a kickstand. Im currently rocking a case for a totally diff phone that i altered due to button placement just cause it had a kickstand. Once u use an htc u cant go without it

I had an EVO 4g and believe me or not my son use it as his tablet (his 7) to this day. I loved that phone but most of the phone case for the S4 with kick stands look and feel cheap and plastic. For work I spend a lot of time selling in and out of offices ( the truth is I like looking right/good, House looking right, car looking right, watch looking right, glasses/sun glasses looking right, hair looking right and of course my phone GOT to be looking right) This case adds little to the size of the phone and it gets rid of the plastic look and feel because usually I rock the phone naked. Phone is in my hand now,"I feel Glass, Metal and carbon fiber (most likely fake)"= awesome. I know what your saying but this case look and feels FU%*ing right lol. Im not joking people ask me so much "what phone do you have" that now I tell them I got a limited edition S4 and they believe me.
I do hate how cheap our phone feels compared to the aluminum of the htcs. Case im usin now is just more plastic and im not really a fan of otterbox

Then youll love this case. Just took some more pictures
I just checked the Low pro cases website and I guess their out of the tempered black glass screen protector
For me is the Spigen Neo Hybrid. Simply, the best.
Looks nice but it will affect your reception.

I haven't noticed any signal lose, I still get one bar at my moms house. I had a metal bumper case from eBay before this one and didn't have a problem with that one either. If i remember right the antenna isn't in the frame/edge of the phone like an iPhone.

that is a nice looking case, i still think the samsung bumper case is one of the nicest cases I have used so far, that and the dyconn battery case.
Seems sold out or at least no longer listed
Bummer, that really was a lovely looking case. I'd never heard about it before your post, and now that I want it and need it, I can't have it.

I agree but it does help keep the price down.

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

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
