The Best G5s Plus Case? - Moto G5S Plus Accessories

I'm having a hard time finding a quality case with a belt clip for this phone. I have bought and sent back 2 from Amazon so far. What is the best case?

No belt clip, but I just ordered this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/192142439659

Quite like the Spigens rugged armour case for moto g5s plus.

As much as I'd like to have a slim case, I want something that feels like it's going to do a excellent job. I tried the Tudia Merge case, and it's a very nice case, but there's so very little lip protecting the screen if the phone is dropped. If the phone was to land face down on gravel or an uneven, rough surface, I wasn't confident that the case would do the job.
I settled on this. It's not the most attractive case, it's a little bulky, but the inner cover is silicone and seems like it would do an excellent job protecting the phone if it were dropped. If you go with this one, just a suggestion, once you snap on the outer polycarbonate shell, be sure to pull outward on the flexible silicone layer, to make sure it gets fitted properly. I had problems with the volume up button sticking, until I discovered that pulling on each corner of the silicone made the problem disappear.

I have this case. While it offers pretty good protection, I'm not loving it. The TPU on the bottom and top of the case does not have any hard case to support it. So, if you grab the top or bottom of the phone, the TPU stretches quite a bit and feels quite loose. And the TPU on the bottom of the phone (no hard shell) interferes with sliding it in and out of my shirt or pants pocket since the TPU is "grabby". I'm still using it though until I find a more suitable case.

Yeah, the grippiness is annoying. I use a Turtleback holster most of the time, which makes it a lot easier to slip in and out. I've tried a few other cases, but none offered satisfactory protection for the screen, with only a millimeter or two of raised protection.
I'm hoping that UAG or Supcase comes out with an offering for the G5S Plus. They already have one for the G5 Plus, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I got this had a Tudia on my 6P and enjoy it

Spigen. It is great. Not only does it look pretty and holds well in his hand. The disadvantage is the price - 25 Euros.

So far, this is one of my favorite cases for any phone...Has that "Sandstone" feel to it, which is really grippy. Very thin also:

Quite similar to Spigen but has extra grip in the form of silk texture.

I'm using Golden Sand too. Excellent fit, and good grip too.

Here's mine fresh from Amazon.

I've ordered Spigen and then cancelled it and ordered this one instead. I've been looking for a case for some time, and not seen it before. It must be new. I'll let you know how I like it.

Hey. I've got this one and im very satisfied with it. I had spigen on my nexus 5, but I think this oxygen case for g5s plus is even better.

Thanks just bought a gold one of the one you link to and it's excellent. I've taken the Spigen off for now as this is so good.

In Vietnam the phone comes with a free transparent case. So here's what I did with it:

[UserReview] (eBay)Mybat Hard Hybrid Case

This is a case I got from eBay, its a Hard Hybrid Case. Brand is Mybat which is a probably a generic case maker from China .
Where to get it:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360559673384&refid=store
If you want to see the other cases they have, check here:
http://www.auctiva.com/stores/viewstore2.aspx?id=1621556&page=home&search=nexus 4
This one in particular is called: LG Nexus 4 E960 Hard Hybrid Case Black/ Black Cover Frosted Fusion Mb
I give it about:
8.5/10 -- Material - Surprisingly feels good, kinda like the Diztronic
9.0/10 -- Grip - Doesn't slide off, not bigger than the Official bumper so for you can still touch the other side of the screen with no effort.
7.5/10 -- Ease for button - There is a slight bit more spacing for the buttons and might make a slight clicking sound when pressed.
8.0/10 -- Snug fit/Hole openings - The cut outs are alright, if you don't push it in all the way it may have a slight gap.
8.0/10 -- Style/Look
7.0/10 -- Protection - The hard part of the case doesn't cover the edges but should be able to absorb some shock.
Pros: Adds decent protection, not for 500ft drops though.
Cons: The back material does attract oily hands and the top side as well as the bottom side of the soft part also attracts dust, not a biggy for me, also the top and bottom lips have that rubber band feeling but it doesnt look like its flimsy unless you pull on it.
Price/Value 8/10 - Reason why is, its a nice case and it will offer good protection for the phone, I just see it as a good case for maybe $5.95ish> range and not $10. They do have the other Hybrid Hard case with a kick stand and holster that looked pretty decent.
Overall I like it better than the S-line tpu that I got on day one lol and I feel it has more protection and I actually worry about it less than when I had the s-line (could be a bad thing?). I had the original bumper but I couldn't get use to the extra width, so for a no-name brand.. its not bad at all. They also have a lot of other designs that just came out.
Shipping was free but I ordered on a Sunday, came on a Saturday from CA to FL so yeah.. expedited shipping my ass! lol :silly:
TL;DR: good hybrid case, nothing too fancy :laugh:

The back feels nice (kinda like diztronic or the non glossy part of the s-line tpu) and I can get a firm grip without it slipping. Since the inner is the soft rubbery part it fits nicely but if you're someone who pulls the phone out of your pocket by the tip and not the screen or sides then you might pull on it too hard.
I've only used it for one full day and it feels pretty solid :good:
thanks for the review !
this case seems the most otterbox-esque from what I've seen so far

yeah, there are a few cases out/coming out that are a bit more rugged but this one seems to be good in style as its all black (color preference) and smooth, the double layering also provides good enough protection for regular everyday use. :good:
Nice case, but I don't think it's worth that price.
Yep agree with you. I said in the review that I would probably pay $6 at most not $10 lol too many cases that are pieces of plastic and charging a bit. I'm waiting for the other ringke but if user reviews suck I'll prolly stick to this one a little longer.

Are you still using it?
How are the buttons?
Between this and the diztronic what would you choose?
With shipping to Portugal this is about 23 dollars and the diztronic 18 dollars
Looks like a solid case. Thanks buddy
I bought this case a few weeks ago and have been using it since then and am pretty happy.
Pros:
Feels nice.
Decent drop protection.
Decent price when compared to similar cases.
Doesn't stick in my pocket like an otterbox would.
Cons:
Plastic seems to be stretching.
Doesn't fit 100%. My chrome on the top and bottom is starting to show.
The volume / power buttons seem a little off center.
Decent case for a decent price if you want a bit of protection.

Honestly I'm using the ringke fusion now but from time to time I'll swap. My bro uses the diztonic and says he likes it. The buttons on these are alright. They don't have the best design but they do offer decent protection.

Best Samsung Galaxy S4 Case - Protective Cover +

Best Samsung Galaxy S4 Cover - Protective Cover - REAL REVIEW - 720p @60fps​In this review I did an unboxing, and explained why Samsung's Protective Cover is better than Spigen's Neo Hybrid Case. Before I got this case, I thought that Spigen's Neo Hybrid was best, but after less than 1 year of usage the side cover of Neo Hybrid broke up. There were also some other problems with the Neo Hybrid case which I showed in this REAL REVIEW.

I used this case in my device but I like more the Otterbox cases in terms of durability, The Spigen is easier to put on and take of but the Otterbox are made for tougher life. I use my device to do sports and I must use a case that is hard enough and not too bold to fit in my pocket.
I like this cover a lot. It has many adventages. It fits perfectly meaning buttons corners. It has cutouts in perfect places and with right shape. The back is made of tpu harder plastic which makes it quite tesistant to drops and hits. Tje sides are made of silicone which makes it nice in touch. Only thing problematic is that the back could be more sticky to avoid sliding outta hand. The rear cutouts for camera and speaker have small raise ups to help avoid scratches on camera glass and provide the possibility to jear spealer when the phone is on its back on desk or something. The front has like 1mm stick out part ariund screen which saves hits on tje gorilla glass when you put it upside down. The cutout on back for camera has a wall of material between it and led flashlight to male it more stable and avoid bigger rocks or dirt to get to camera glass. It looks lile it
I purchased the Spigen Slim Armor View good case. but.. the sview door broke in two months
Im a big fan of the www.lowprocases.com samsung s4 case. Its slim and make my phone look bad ass. Easily get asked what phone I have. http://static1.squarespace.com/stat...e12/1425585170209/samsungs4b.jpg?format=1000w
I had this case for my old Note 2. Great case, but I don't think the TPU edges offer enough protection from drops. I rock the UAG or Speck Candyshell. Amazon has it the green one for $3.50.
Pknockle, no one cares about your sh!tty cases.
i bought one of those before but it was a very tight fit, and when I put on my wireless receiver, it made it really tight and the buttons did not align. I use a simple roocase bumper case and a UAG case now. Both work with the wireless receiver .

I have one and I haven't had any problems with it. I do notice some lines in the plastic forming near the bottom of the buttons where I can see it breaking eventually. That's only because I take it off to switch batteries a couple of times a week. The case gives the phone a very solid sturdy feel and the rubber absorbs impacts very well. I've dropped it a few times and you can hear that the impact was absorbed.
Otterbox Defender
I used Otterbox Defender for the past 2 years, got it after a week of using the flip case that i hated. Its very durable but its not with flaws, after 2 years (i have no complaints or regrets), the screen protector / plastic is too scratched i just pull it off (im using a tempered glass anyway so no problem.. The rubber jack covers and port covers gives way as well.. and recently the side rubber also rotted more and more but it looked like Rick Grimes in Walking Dead, old and seasoned... haha.. it survived heavy usage as i practically bring my phone everywhere lol and my S4 practically looked brand new because of my Otterbox.. i would really recommend Otterbox if you're looking for heavy duty cover and if you dont mind the bulky appearance.
I have this case too. Bought a Spigen thinking it'd be better but it just added unnecessary bulk and didn't feel as good.
nice case
I use Spigen cases
still prefer bumper cover.. this case makes the phone bulkier..
thanks:good:
I personally think the Speck candyshell grip is the best case for any phone out there. You can't beat it. Great aesthetics, amazing grip, very slim/light, and fits perfectly on the phone, and not to mention, a very tight fight for the phone, giving you a ton of confidence that the case won't come flying off if you drop it.
And shout out to the body glove tactic case for the s4. The only other case that comes close to the Speck grip case, and on certain days, prefer it over the candyshell. Never thought I'd find a case as good as the Speck grip case.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Free mobile app
I have a new candidate for best case for this phone. Body glove tactic. Less grip than the Speck, but still gives a good amount of grip, and what I love about this case is how slim it is when holding the phone. Feels almost as slim as a naked Galaxy s4 (not quite, but as close as you can get with the amount of protection you get with this case), and not as wide feeling like the spigen slim armor, or the Speck. The specks not even wide feeling, it's just that this case is so lean.

Nice case to look at, and very protective, but too wide, and doesn't have any grip.
If you want an all around great case, go for the speck candyshell grip, or the body glove tactic. Me personally, I'm done using cases. I'm not gonna sell or trade my phone at this point, so really don't care anymore if it gets a few scratches here and there. I'm still using a screen protector though, because the screen is the most important thing on the phone. Besides, I'm really careful with my phone, and probably dropped maybe 2-3x in the entire 4 years if owning this phone.

Looking for slim case

Hey guys I'm looking for a really slim case that isn't raised too much along the edges of the screen or cover too much of the sides of the device. A couple I'm looking at is the Obliq case, spigen capsule, spigen slim armor, or maybe the official Samsung protective case.
I have a tech 21 case now and it's ok but it's a bit bulky around the edges and kind of hides the shape of the phone.
I had the Tech21 case and currently have the Speigen Capsule and Samsung cases. The Tech21 was WAY too thick and bulky, and the buttons were hard to press. The Capsule is very thin, but has sharp edges IMO. I found it really uncomfortable to hold without it feeling like my hand may get cut (it never happened, but still hurt).
The Samsung case is awesome though. Fits beautifully and looks like it's a part of the phone. It protects really well too and hardly adds any thickness. I'd highly recommend it. It's worth the money 105%.

Yes, try Amazon.
Look up verus iron shield champagne gold galaxy note 4 review by real reviews on YouTube thy have a link in the description probably the best thin case for the note 4 in the link the have different colors also
Ringke Slim case is the slimmest one IMO by far at the expense of drop protection. The black one has a nice matte finish while the other colors are more glossy which I don't like.
It adds the least bulk and gives a bit of protection - I've dropped my phone onto hardwood floors a couple times from 3-4 feet. The case slightly deformed but the phone was perfect. However I expect any drop onto a hard surface like concrete will break the screen.
Like the previous post stated, the Ringke slim is super thin. The SF black has good grip.
I would go with the Samsung Protective cover though. a little thicker but you are drop protected and the case feels better in hand.
Ringke Slim 9.99
Samsung Protective Cover:
12.00 (Blue)
14.00 (Black)
15.00 (Red)
Thank you guys for the ideas. I really like how slim the ringke is but it makes me a little nervous. I think I'm torn between the Samsung protective case and the verus. Both look super nice although the Samsung appears to be a bit slimmer
I have a Verus Thor on mine, and I think it's pretty amazing for its slimness to protection ratio. Camera's protected, there's enough of a lip in front to protect the screen (I've got a tempered glass protector anyway), and if there's a con, it's that it fits so tight and snug that you don't want to take it off too often; I ended up buying a new dock just so I don't have to. Well, that, and it's not highly textured or rubbery, so it feels a little smoother in the hand than I see a lot of people liking. Fell out twice at work a few days ago--once onto concrete, once onto steel car wash railings--and it still looks pristine. I highly recommend it.

If by "thick enough that the camera isnt exposed," you mean that when you rest the phone on a table, the camera lens isnt resting directly on the flat surface, then yes. There is a lip around the camera lens that will keep it from touching any flat surface.
i want it too

Well after reading the comments from you guys I decided to pull the trigger on the blue Samsung protective cover. Seems like it offers good protection and a very slim form factor. I'll post some pics once it comes in the mail
That Samsung one looks nice. There is a great review on it from a guy named lawmanfj on youtube. I'll probably grab that one down the road. I just purchased the S-View case, and I really like it. It is a flip case, but it doesn't add much bulk. Seems like the drop protection might not be the best, but since it replaces your back battery cover, it's stay's slim. It does run about $26 through Amazon. I picked one up at Best Buy for a few bucks more, but got to try it out before purchasing.
You should post some pics when your case comes in, and give a review of it.
Does anyone know if there is a case like the Samsung Protective Cover, but replaces the battery door to make it slimmer? Basically i would like to find something with some protection around the edges, and a lip for the screen, but without adding to the thickness of the phone.

Diztronic S6 case

i haven't seen this one mentioned yet. I had diztronic cases for several of my prior phones, and they've been quality cases. When I saw they were selling cases for the S6, I had to pull the trigger.
Just got mine today, and I am not disappointed. Quality case, does not add any bulk, but still provides protection for the screen and the camera. The buttons feel nice and similar to prior diztronic cases that I've had. The material is a TPU type of material, but not shiny, and provides decent grip. All ports and openings line up correctly.
There are better pics of the case on their website and on Amazon, but I am attaching pics of it on my phone.
Looks decent. I had Diztronic cases on my Galaxy Nexus and my Nexus 5 and was always happy with them. Unfortunately they didn't have a case out when I pre-ordered my S6, so I ended up getting a Spigen case instead. The Spigen one looks fairly similar to the Diztronic case, with the exception of some additional textures on the back.

Yeah, that Spigen case looks pretty nice too. I decided to go with the Diztronic since I've had positive experience with them before.

I bought this one from Labato. http://www.labato.com/46-samsung-s6-cases-Really slim and looks cool, the best part is it only cost me $6.99.
Yes I'm a fan of their cases. Great value. I could not wait and bought an incipio from the TMO store. It was twice the price of the Diztronic and has an overall similar feel and design. I don't like how they put their brand on the back though. I wish they stuck with their logo on the back like the older ones. The one on my Nexus 6 has the branding on the edge which was far better.
Don't be fooled by the slim form factor! It definitely protects the device!
got mine this morning! ugh much better. Returned my Spigen and Obliq cases
I've had diz on my fiance iphone 6, and my nexus 4 and 5. I've always loved their cases
This feels much better and now im protected on the top and button unlike the spigen which had no coverage. It just feel better to hold
I got a Diztronic Ultra for my S6. I love the matte texture and the accurate fit, plus I'm sure it protects the phone well. On the other hand, I hate holding it because the edges are very flat and they cut into your hand, kind of like the iPhone 5.
Any suggestions? Thanks

I had Diztronic on my last three phones (Galaxy Nexus, 2013 Moto X, 2014 Moto X) and really liked them, but agree with you on the S6 - it was too sharp on the edges and the bottom portion (near the headphone jack, charging port, speakers) was too thick. I ended up with the Incipio NGP (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Incipio-Resistant-S6-Frost/dp/B00TRN9IEK). It's so much better feeling than the Diztronic for the S6. And it's only $3 for the black one!
The NGP looks very thin. Is it protective enough? Could you post pics of it on top of and next to a Diztronic case?
Thanks

Sorry, the Diztronic is long gone. And I don't have an easy way to take pictures of my own phone right now, but maybe these will help:

For me, it's protective enough - I don't drop my phone very much, plus I'm indoors most of the time, so I don't worry about concrete/asphalt drops.

Thanks, that's pretty helpful
From memory, would you say the Diztronic was about the same as the NGP in terms of thickness and protection? Or is the NGP thinner?

Pretty sure the Diztronic is thicker all around. I'll put it this way - when I had the Diztronic, I wanted to take the case off all the time. With the NGP, the phone almost always feels better ON than off.

Diztronic Case

I just ordered the Diztronic case from Amazon. Not set to be released until Nov 4, but since my phone isn't set to ship until the 23-25, it should be here in plenty of time.
So far this looks like like the best option to me.
I've used their cases for past nexus phones and they've always done well. Some movement a year in but overall thin and protect it without being bulky

I tried several cases, this is definitely my favorite. Very grippy and the buttons are so easy to push.
Does this that a textured inside or the air pocket corners?

I got mine last week. Great case as usual.
Best and most elegant phone case I've ever had. Now where's my full coverage screen protector?
I order this on Amazon last Saturday and got it Tuesday. It's a temporary case until something thinner comes out, but I agree it's the best option. It's a nice case, it's TOO bulking and very grippy (but not too much where I can't slide it in my pocket. Great fit and I recommend anyone who likes a thin case who is waiting for a CaliCase to get this in the mean time!

Mines super slick should of waited for pixlee one. Love the buttons on it though. But someone just said the parallax case is only .5mm thicker than the maxboost so I may get that instead.
I got this case as well. I really dislike the raised side lip it has, it makes it feel more bulky than I prefer. If it didn't have that raised side lip I would love this case.

I've gone through the Sparin case from Amazon and three Google cases, the clear, the silicon and a Live case. The Diztronic blows them all away in terms of actual protection from a very minimal form factor. The Sparin is a nice case, especially for $10, but it feels pretty flimsy when compared to the Diztronic. I had a D case with my N6 and am not at all surprised that I've sifted through other cases to land back in D's corner. The only thing I would probably trade it for is a really nicely done leather case (looking at you, Bellroy).

The Diztronic is too bulky??? I don't see how you'd possibly get a thinner TPU case. It'd be so thin it'd be useless, or you're approaching sticker protection.
I have the Diztronic and the similar Spigen Armor (no plastic, just TPU) and the Spigen's sides are slightly thicker, presumably with their "air" protection, but otherwise the cases are very similar in feel. Spigen has more "design" to it, including the carbon spot (which I personally dislike) but otherwise both cases are very similar.

Some people don't want a case at all but want to protect against bumps, scratches for example https://9to5toys.com/2014/10/29/thinnest-iphone-6-plus-cases-prevent-camera-wobble/

I posted on another thread about wanting something that doesn't protect against impact, just scuffs to the sides and back. I want something similar to The Veil by Caudable that is ultra thin.
So is it too grippy or slick..I've seen both comments. Also do the matte and pixlee ones feel the same
I just received my diztronic case. As usual it is top quality. I used them on my Nexus 5X, and to be honest, for quality non hardshell cases that are out soon after phone releases...they really are worth the money.
edit responses:
Q.) So is it too grippy or slick..I've seen both comments. Also do the matte and pixlee ones feel the same
A.) Honestly...Its pretty well balanced. I personally like it a BIT more grippy, but my experience with diztronic cases, is that the longer you ahve them your hand wears down the matte a TINY bit(not enough to SEE) and it becomes perfectly grippy.
Q.) Does this that a textured inside or the air pocket corners?
A.) no.
Will edit this post with any other questions about the case.
Just received my black pixlee case and it's my first Diztronic case and I love it! It's so minimal and classy.

I do not have any way to take pictures of it on the phone, but I do have my Nexus 5x, which fits exactly the same. To the point that when I reach into my bag to grab one,i don't realize which one I am holding for a good amount of time.
My favorite feature about them is the buttons though. It gives them this perfect tactile clicky feel that you don't get with anything else.
These are great cases. Just ordered my second one (different color)
