Hello everyone, sorry for opening new thread, but I have question. Do You know where can I find new bumper case (the same like one included with phone or other)? I want to have style shell on back, but I want to protect sides also, because It's hard to handle with phone like with egg for me.

Yeah the one included is pretty easily broken and is hard plastic but instead of TPU
Best of the best bumper here:
https://www.incipio.com/cases/smart...roid-cases/moto-z-droid-co-molded-bumper.html
(I own this one)
Other option would be the Verizon Two Tone bumper:
http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/Original...204917?hash=item238c177cf5:g:AbkAAOSwwHFZnMll
Thanks for answer. I have one more question - has anyone this ? IMO it looks terrible, but maybe is possibility of using it as bumper without back
The one from Incipio is the best for protect the phone but only works with the battery mod and the style mods, does not fit with the rest of the mods.
I used the Verizon bumper but it made some scratches arround the phone maybe due to the semi regid plastic, nevertheless it works with all mods (jbl, hasselblad and proyector.
Sent from my XT1650 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
It works also with the 1st Gen speaker (sometimes minor misalignment with the buttons) and if you're keen - I've put the turbo power mod also (with it the buttons are hard to press but I use the fingerprint for power on \off and Bluetooth for audio, so I don't really care )
I would like to ask those that bought it how is the bumper case faring for them?
Mine broke at the bottom (the USB cutout is after all the weakest park of it ) in less than 6 months. I swap mods a couple of times a day though ...

About 7 months on mine. Incipio was kind enough to ship a replacement.
I love the Moto Z but it's the slipperiest phone I've ever seen. I had an otterbox for my Moto X but the otterbox for the Moto Z doesn't line up properly. I have the basic model. Any suggestions?
I'm also having a problem finding screen shields, I've taken to buying the ones made for the Moto Z Force, close enough.

I buy my screen protectors ( tempered glass ones ) on Aliexpress and these fit perfectly ( no bubbles since they cover only the screen portion of the front width and not the curved glass ). They're brutally cheap when compared to 20$+ protectors and they're quite scratch-proof too.
As for cases, I also got a "carbon fiber" one on Aliexpress.
With those two the phone hit various floors several times without dying ( one screen protector cracked once ).
Here's the link to the screen protector:

I got a verizon bumper case on ebay and a black carbon fiber skin from dbrand, also a red carbon fiber skin protecting the camera lens.

Hello,
I'm deciding on buying the OnePlus One. I'm debating between LG G3 as it has CM12 now, and OnePlus One. I can get new G3 at around 360€ and New One is as we all know 300€. I love the form factor of the G3 (slim bezels, huge screen). But I love the look of the one more sandstone back, big screen (BIG PHONE).
I would carry my G3 in Spigen Tough Armor + glass screen protector (great look in my opinion.)
But as you can see I'm leaning more to OPO. I would rock OPO with glass screen protector (If you can recommend any good ones please do). And with official OPO flip cover (or any good cover from aliexpress or something like that, again please feel free to suggest).
As I'm buying a phone for around a year this time, I have some question for owners;
1. How does it hold up against scratches?
2. I'm the most concerned about that fake chrome band around the phone, as I had some Galaxy phones over past few years, and that chrome started to peal off after some time.. That + being easy scratched worries me the most.
3. I'm kinda perfectionist when it comes to phones (read I get frustrated real easy if there are ANY even tiny scratches)
4. As stated before I will be using my phone with glass screen protector and flip case, does anybody else rocks this? I'm not afraid of dropping it, as I'm super careful with my phones. But I'm afraid of scratching the bezels and the bottom of the phone.
G3 + Glass screen protector + Tough armor is almost mission impossible to scratch.
If I can find something like that for OPO I'm sold.
Lastly If someone has come from G3 or moved there, I would love to hear there opinion on the phones too!
That's it for the time being. Thanks for all the responses.
Hmm.. I'm on the same debate.. G3 32GB Vs OPO. I can't decide yet.
I m also looking for a tough armor type of car for one, current using Rinkge fusion n a screen protector which came with the case

That review is a six month review and he mentions how the chrome held up, or how it didn't.
I was thinking about blacking out the chrome by removing it, sanding it, then using a black dye (Rit fabric dye) to make it black. I did something similar to my old old HTC Touch phone back in 2009 lol and it came out great. But I changed my mind after seeing the disassembly process for the One.

1- No scratches here.
2- No trouble with the chrome bezel on mine, I've had it for nearly six months and it's still mint.
3- Every phone can get tiny scratches, there's not a phone available on the market today (or in future) that's scratch proof. So don't waste energy worrying about that.
4- I use a Nillkin 9H tempered glass screen protector on mine, it's very good, and cheap top ($9). You can get a variety of cases for this phone, I personally have the Diztronic TPU case, it's an excellent case (though it isn't a flip cover) and cheap ($10).
The battery life of the OPO is much better than the G3's battery life in any condition.
And I personally prefer OPO's software and screen calibration to the G3's.
Additionally, the slim bezel effect of the G3 will be gone after you'll put it in a case

Isnt it redundant to have a flip cover and a screen protector? its like have 2 screen protectors on.. lol
Anyways.. Im rocking a tempered glass protector and the Diztronic case.. its awesome.. it completely covers the chrome bezels so its well protected.. case fits very snug.. it does feel slippery.. haha...
Well I have a bit of trouble searching for a new case for my Z5, currently I using the Love MEI case but that thing too big for me so i need a new once.
I've read pretty much all the threads here but couldn't find any good case so i would like to ask which case suit for my need.
- Front & back protection again small drop(a bit buk is ok but not too much)
- I never use the finger print so I am not really care about it been cover or not
- If best can I ask is any case have mental back, I afraid that I will bend my phone even in my front pocket. ( again i dont use NFC much so i dont really care)
The best I've seen so far is the TUDIA Dual Layer Protective Case but it is for the Z5 Premium

You also have TUDIA Ultra slim Z5, but it is not dual layer. Check their website.
I have bought 5 cases so far for my Z5 (video review of them coming soon) and I must say I like two of them.
Custodia Cover RINGKE FUSION Case Trasparent - if you have black version I recommend smoked black edition or
Orzly® FlexiSlim Case cover 0.6 mm Super Slim for Sony Xperia Z5 - this one is really very slim and it really gives you the feel of the phone, but I think it is not very protective if you drop the phone. I am not going to test it
Have a flick through Roxfit, they've got some decent cases and screen protectors (including tempered glass).
I've got the Ultra Slim Book Case for mine. it's a really nice case and I've had the same case on several Xperia's before. All of which survived drops, crushing and other general abuse.
https://www.roxfit.mobi/collections/xperia-z5
Indeed, it looks like cases are kind of hard to find. Going to give one of these recommendations a shot and I'll throw up some impressions once I've used it for a few days. Loving the phone overall.
After spending time looking for a case, I went for the Roxfit as it met my requirements (folio style, slim, credit card slot). It's been pretty good and has protected against a couple of 'small' falls onto floor / ground - unusually for me, I did use the provided screen protector which is starting to show some wear but hasn't affected the use of the screen in any way so it must be doing a good job.

And im happy with it.
I bought RINGKE FUSION Case Trasparent.
Love it!
just choose a transparent soft case, simple but elegant.
I think you can get Case-mate tough case. I am using it myself.

Just received my brown leather (fake or synthetic leather) Qin case for my Moto Z. First of all, it feels reallly great at hand for RM30 (about $9) including shipping to Malaysia.
It adds the necessary thickness to the Moto Z, making it perfect in terms of grip because i have always felt that the phone is too thin!
Installation is a breeze! The sides clip the phone perfectly in place and removal is not a problem as well. Some other cases can cause the side of the phone to scratch easily or leaves dirt in it but this one is just wonderful.
As for camera, the hum is gone as this case gives the additional thickness to it. Now you can lay the phone flat on a surface and worry no more for unnecessary tilts.
The only problem i have for this case is that it does not offer full body protection. Just like the Frost Series by Nillkin, the top side and bottom side are vulnerable to dents and unwanted damages because of the open areas.
Whats the purpose of revealing the pogo pins on the back? You can't use mods with this case. Seems odd.
In my opinion, phone case manufacturers had no idea what were the pins for when the dimensions of the phone have been released. To be safe than sorry, they left the pins uncovered.

Is this case still holding up for you? Where did you get it exactly, I have a moto z coming Thursday and I'd like something simple like this to go into the mass of options to swap out from time to time.

Nope, eventually this one just sits in my drawer. I have been using the Nillkin Frost. Check out my review somewhere here.
just wonder will this fits Moto Z Play or Moto Z Force? or just for the slim Z only?
Just the slim Z.
Anyone found any good cases for the ZenFone 5?
I bought this one (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B4CKP8J) but it is too small to fit the phone. This one (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BNGL61M) fits and is OK if you like TPU cases (I don't but wanted something quick).
Any good ones out there?
I don't know, on amazon.fr, there are only like 3 cases/cover for this phone... *sic*
I just ordered one to try.
This one is awesome. I have just received it and it's perfect ! It's thin and soft, it makes me think of a friend's iphone case. I purchased it on eBay : https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/392038719463
The one that comes in the box works fine lol.

black and silver ain't a bad color combo imo.
So I have the RhinoShield case for the 5z and I justed wanted to highlight some things on it for folks interested in a more heavy duty case:
- Overall quality is very good, stiff.
- Requires a bit of thought to correctly insert your phone into it initially without unnecessary pressure on the phone frame.
- The material used on th sides is a bit slippery. Not glossy but different.
- The back has appropriately size notches to prevent scratches on the scanner and camera covers.
- I have a Skinomi skin on the front and back for extra stuff that may enter the case overtime to prevent case to phone scratches
Now, I just wish other case makers could catch on and present cases like a LoveMei or LifeProof level of protection.
Anyone have a another case sugestion? Imo rhino is still the best at this moment.
I don't know RhinoShield.
My wife has a Nillkin shell for is ZE620KL, the advantage is that it is made of thin hard plastic with good grip. Before it had the same one for an LG G2, the quality was a little better. On the new one the plastic gets dirty more easily....
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Nil...ltra-thin-mobile-phone-shell/32869953152.html
Im looking for a similar case as the one that came with the phone, but with tactile buttons on the case, instead of a simple cutout which i find annoying on this phone.
Buy this you will never regret

I have tried 5 cases from Amazon for my US Moto G7 and none of them fit right, Ok they fit but the camera cutout is wrong. Cutout is too low and causes the case to ride up on the top of the camera and causes a bulge in the case on 3 of them and the other two the cutout is too low but also larger than the camera and doesn't look right.
Anyone find one that fits? All of these are TPU cases...
Both CoverOn cases have similar issue, but hybrid one is OK for me.
Insert from the top first for better fit
Hopefully major brands will make case for it especially Best Buy is selling G7

Thanks! I sent a message to Motorola about the difference between g7 and g7 plus model and they are telling me that there is a very small difference in size so I am assuming that is the problem...
This case fits really well, very similar to case in box, but superior.

I have ordered a couple more cases and they should be delivered this week.
Stay tuned and I will post pictures later
just ordered my Unicorn Beetle from Amazon. THE perfect case!
*edit* Just arrived, and my expectations are as always....The best case PERIOD! Otterbox can't touch it, AND it's cheaper! If you don't like the built in screen protector, it can be removed. Even comes with the belt clip! Not too bulky, and everything lines up great.
I got this case from Amazon yesterday and I'm very happy with it. Fits perfectly, fingerprint sensor cutout is perfect, camera bump cutout is perfect, and it feels pretty good. Maybe a little low on the grip factor but still better than the extremely slippery bare phone.
I went with this case and while the camera cutout isn't perfect. the case feels great and the buttons are much easier to press than the Encased one that I purchased previously.
I bought a G7 last week, and after a quick search of Amazon UK, opted for the Spigen [Rugged Armor] Case (square brackets are theirs). I just checked and it's also available on Amazon US (just swap the domain and the rest of the URL works).
It's a fairly standard black TPU design, with raised edges to protect the screen, and all the holes line up OK. For extra paranoia, I also bought a glass screen protector (butdidn't bother fiddling with the gel stuff you're supposed to paint around the edges once applied).
So I got this case on ebay and it is very good and cheap. Thick enough lip on the front too. Fits perfect on the G7 Plus.
As for these screen protectors I got its like they are a few mm short on either side . Annoying.

thank you! I saw your post, looked it up and read the reviews and bought it. This seems like a great case for this phone!
Tudia Merge is a decent case. 10-15 on Amazon. They have held up over years of use.

I have always like the Spigen cases. I have bout these for years for a lot of phones and they have protected them well. I have had more than one Rugged Armor over the years. Always priced decent on amazon too.

I've had the same setup since I purchased the phone . A wee bit clunky but Motorola phones aren't known for being svelte. Very happy with this case from Amazon US.
Have the same...had several drops with zero damage!
