Moto G Hard case review : the cheap one - Moto G Accessories

Many people prefer Trident or OtterBox cases, and they are right.
But that cost 20€+, and that was more than i could pay :
Here is a 5€ Case i've just got :

I have one of these on all my devices..very user friendly, can flip around and use the device while in the beltclip..very slim and light weight, and great protection..very easy to clip into your pocket, slide device out and use without the clip..or use device in the clip, propt in landscape or portrait mode, for watching movies also..I have had the Krakens and all those fancy / expensive cases..but I finally found my true love for a case..unless you work in construction, or heavy duty..this case is the perfect choice..

Tq. I was waiting for this review. I love this case but I'm somehow disinterested after read about the dust issue on rubber part. I can feel how the material is from your pics.

Is it the silicone that is green or the hard plastic?
Turned out that the pink is only paint on white plastic
i'll add a few more pics with case ageing ...

Same model of case only imagine the black soft silicone like green

Same here. Only $3 bucks from ebay. It gives the feeling of more grip and a bit heavier to handle. The phone was very slippery and super light. Now its balanced

hi, can i have ebay link?
Melkco leather flip case jacka type..
Tpu gel cases for me..dun intend to spend big bucks on them since I be changing phone every 6 months.
I'm using a gloss white Barely There Casemate case, doesn't add much extra bulk and gives it some nice white lines along the sides.
Could you take some pictures of the Arc in the Barely There Casmate case? Seems to be the only case that will look okay for me, but would love to see some pics that are not made by the seller.
I saved the original battery cover and bought one from ebay that I use. The phone still looks new except that I need to replace the original screen protector.
I hope Arc replacement will better Nokia N9 in simplicity. I just got N9 and I find it makes my Arc look ugly :-(
Nillkin tpu case,very nice and good quality
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150684503...03212&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_fvi=1&_rdc=1
is it really neccessary to have a leathercase when you're using a screenprotector SGP steinheil anyway? cos i lost mine.. -.-
i dont use any.. well because i dont want the phone's width to be increased

Cheap eBay bnumper cases, I got one, quick review with pics

The cheap eBay Bumper case I posted about on another board arrived today and it looks quite good until you pick it up and notice how thin and light it is which kind of goes hand in hand with it's massively small £3 price. It does the job fine on a S2 with the stock battery though but with extended battery the lip surrounding the front bezel is less pronounced.
It is not great with the Zenis dock either as it doesn't sit flush whereas the Zenis one does. I was expecting it to fit fine but the bottom is not sitting nicely like the Walnutt bumper does.
So far I think the Walnutt case looks the best and also feels like it's worth some ££ too. I especially like the lip bearing the Walnutt brand name on the back, it kind of completes an otherwise baron backside, something that the SGP NeoHybrid EX bumper lacks although I'm sure the SGP feels every bit as good and expensive as the Walnutt ones.
Considering the Walnutt bumper is thicker than the cheap eBay one I was surprised it was exactly the same thickness when put on the phone, I put it on my dad's S2 with stock battery to compare in the pics below.

Wow 10 pounds for shipping to Spain! What a RIP OFF. I'll write the seller and see what he says. I doubt though that he'll change the price. I've had books and computer parts delivered for less!

[CASES] Sleek hard-case case with lens protection

I got my HOX a week ago and I feel like the lens needs protecting if I want to lay it on the back, which I do all the time (who would lay it on the front, duh?).
I bought one simple silicon case, which works but as usual it draws dust to it pretty fast.
I looked at the Cruzerlite Androidified A2 TPU Case, it was very sleek and good looking, though it didn't protect the lens enough.
So yeah, anyone that can recommend one?
It doesn't need to have like a plastic cover over the lens. I just want to be able to put the phone on the back without the lens touching the table.
This is the case I got for my one x and I love it. hope the link helps

Wow that one looks really sleek, and it was cheap too
Looks like it protects the camera. Definitely an alternative, thx!
I have just aquired my One X and I got this case for it LINK. You don't really notice it's there as it sits really snug to the phone, is raised around the camera lens, and has a cool texture to the case. Comes with a screen protector too :good:

Thanks A LOT for linking me to that store! :victory:
Amazing prices and very low freight! Ordered both the case you suggested (which looked awesome) and this. I also ordered a MHL adapter thingy so I can connect it to my tv. All that + freight for just about 37 dollar

I wouldn't blame it on nilkin. Everyone knows that white plastic gets yellow and or dirty fast. That is why I ordered the black and the rainbow
I have ordered this..polycarbonate, looks great with a pearl finish , minimalistic n comes with 6 months warranty..n being polycarbonate its very easy to clean n looks stunning..
Nillkin case has a textured finish..so dust n grime accumulate in those tiny holes n its almost impossiblebto clean..that's y I don't Like it all..

[Q] What case are you getting for the One???

I really wanted the Black, but everywhere that I've called say that they only have the silver.
Anyways, what case will you be rocking?
I chose the Seidio Surface case for light use and the Seidio Active w/ kickstand for heavier duty.
this is the first phone I'll primarily be using naked, so I got this as a quick case to put on and off depending on the situation, along with a mime ghost glass tempered glass screen protector

I'd like something thin and clear to show off it's style but I'm bad about dropping my phone. Ideally I'd like something like the old invisishield that's just a layer over the screen and back but also covers all the edges. Any suggestions?
Incipio Dual Pro Shine Silver / Black
http://www.myphonecase.com/products...ver-black?utm_source=googlepla&utm_medium=cpc
Really like it so far. Fits the phone well. The only quarrel I have is that the screen on/off button is hard to hit right, but muscle memory will make it easier in the future.
Urban Armor for me!
Otter Box Commuter series case has never failed me before.
Speck GemShell
I had to cut slits on the sides of the volume buttons though to make it easier to press. Poor design.

Diztronic TPU
I ordered the goospery slim, avoid it. Not only is the fit garbage but they put a sticker inside the case that has been impossible to remove in one piece.
I got the Verizon brand..."high gloss silicone" cover...
I have this case: amazon.com/Poetic-Palette-Premium
Its very minimalistic and feels very soft. Only $8 but I would have paid double.

I got the Tri-colored double dip official HTC case A lot of people complained about it scratching the phone but mine is unscatched. I just got my phone a few hours ago.
Definitely an Otterbox, most likely the Commuter.
i just like simple ones haha
HTCs own double dip flip.

Rugged Case: Anyone willing to try the iGadgitz Tyre Tread Case? Amazon.com $2.99

I know a lot of people here like their rugged style cases. I love minimalism so it's a little too big for me, but this one just popped up and might interest some people. There are no reviews yet, so XDA might need a guinea pig to be first to test it out.
It's a silicone case, so I figure it's squishy. I do like the tyre tread design. And with the F1 2014 season starting up this weekend, what car guy/gal wouldn't want to walk around with a tyre stuck against their face? Haha

The fact that the case wraps around the top and bottom of the bezel ruins it for me :| i rely on the notification LED too much. But I absolutey love the design of the case on the back!!!
I think they needed a big lip over the top, sides, and bottom because it's silicone. It's the only way to hold the case on securely with a soft, stretchy material. If it was TPU it wouldn't be needed.
With it being silicone, it would probably be easy to punch a hole/notch manually with a paper hole puncher; if you really wanted the notification light exposed.
I just love those tyre treads though.

I can't say much for the case being on the nexus 5, but I know for a fact it's no good on my iPod touch, especially when you're taking it out of your pocket, it flops around. It is good for drops though, I'll give it that
