Stopped by AT&T and picked up a Moto X and bought a body skin and CaseMate case which the guy there applied.
I got home and tested the audio quality of the speaker and thought it was terribly low in volume and tinny sounding.
Turned out the CaseMate case I had bought had a layer of plastic skin that covers the entire back of the phone, blocking the speaker, flash and camera entirely.
The case is the one with bumpers, the Naked Tough. I got the clear one, which apparently isn't available yet online.
Just a word of caution.

Oh lawd guy at AT&T thought the backing was supposed to be there, so he rung me up for two skins and put one on the back of the case. My fault.
So this will be a general review.
Case level of protection: 8/10
With a built in bumper overall it should absorb most shock from a fall and the bumper provides inlaid chrome buttons allowing easy access to power and the volume rocker. Makes it a bit clicky feeling. Subtle lip protects the front when placing it down.
Aesthetics: 8/10
The Moto X is a highly customizable phone, so the clear Naked Tough case provides full view of the back and matted view of the sides. If you have a customized Moto with colored volume rocker, etc, your customization except for the camera ring will be covered over and not visible.
Feel: 6/10
Feels entirely like it's materials, slightly plasticky and ergonomically the naked phone is better contoured than the Naked Tough. The Motorola indent is more pleasing on the hands with a caseless phone especially while making a call, as you can put your index finger in the contour of the indent. The case is fairly thin but no poetic atmosphere style like on a nexus. The naked phone rolls more when placed down on a flat surface, this feels a bit more secure.
Cost:
I picked mine up for at AT&T, for which you can read the story. Overall a fairly reasonable price for a case, however no monoprice status.
Overall: 7/10
I prefer the naked phone, but who doesn't? On the HTC One the Double Dip case is known to scratch the phone on removal, removing this case is protected by the bumper, but to me I would worry like how my HTC got scratched from the slide motion that removing this case might do the same as it fits very snug. I have removed it twice, once to see if my ears were hearing things when the protective backing muffled the sound, and a second time to take it to AT&T and have Rob view his handiwork.
Thanks guys.

Are you sure that's not the body skin, or the guy didn't put it on properly? http://www.case-mate.com/Moto-X-Cases/Case-Mate-Moto-X-Naked-Tough-Cases.asp
The product images there showing the back case with cutout for all the things you mentioned! I'm not a case mate fanboy, but I've got several of their products, and I can't say they're bad or problematic.
I bought the same case and it does have a film on the back, but that's just a temporary protective film for the case. Just peel it off.

This is why the world is in complete turmoil. Thanks Keinx for bringing this to the attention of the OP. Measure twice, cut once is a good rule for everything, including forums.
Yep, yep yep ohgodwhy, the body armor is on the case. He charged me for two, he put the front protector on the front, rear protector on the back, opened another and put the front protector on the case. Disregard the case notice, but fair warning against AT&T touching your phone at all.
EDIT for clarity: I stopped by to return the case and the guy said he was sorry he "removed the backing, so put another on" and offered to give me my money back for the second skin.
Just got this case straight from AT&T (they've got the exclusive clear/clear version, whereas elsewhere on the web, including case-mates's site, you can get the clear/black version). I like it alot - even better than the Hyperion TPU case I had been using. The plastic is very smooth (means it might slide about on an equally smooth surface), and the rubber bumper provides a nice bit of extra protection - good for someone like me who puts the phone in a generic vehicle dock and doesn't want to see the side of the device getting scratched up.
Really loving this case. I have the Verizon developer edition and the black/clear case combo look so much better than the clear version in my opinion.
The black bumper keeps the front looking neat and the back can still be shown off and looks nice with the black bumper.
I got the clear/clear from AT&T and placed an order on the clear/black. I think it will flow with the phone much better.
Seems very slippery.
Also noticed that the USB cutout, the back edge, isn't rounded so when you're holding it there with your finger it can get a little uncomfortable.
Yes, I know it doesn't effect the functionally and features. Overall I'm impressed with the G4. It's just that I'm incredibly careful with my phones and very OCD about scratches, yet after only a few days I'm already seeing tiny little micro scratches appearing on that silly glossy strip around the phone. Why couldn't they have made it matte? Or even satin? I had a Lumia 1020 and it held up very well, thanks to its matte finish. The edges of a phone experience the most wear and tear, and with glossy finishes being the least hard-wearing - or at least the finish that shows up scratches the worst - I just wish LG had thought a bit more about this rather than just going down the 'it looks nice when you first buy it so that's all that matters' route.
This isn't a serious criticism of the device, I just wondered if glossy plastic edges like this annoy anyone else? I'm fairly confident that someone is going to say 'aluminium edges are just as bad' or 'my G4 is perfect and I've never had a single LG get a scratch on it', but my personal experience with LGs is that they seem to let themselves down in terms of material choices sometimes. The brittle plastic on the G3 - which would often crack along the IR port or rear mic over time, is a case in point. The laser autofocus on my G3 also got small hairline scuffs on it. My Nexus 4 soft touch coating rubbed off completely in certain areas along the edge. I always keep my phones in their own pocket and I'm very careful where I put them.
Just wondered if it bothers anyone else. It's a phone at the end of the day, not a baby...but I do like to keep things nice and it annoys me when my new devices start to develop wear really quickly!!
Yeah I think it's a bummer. So I left my protective film pieces on the phone and just cut off the little pull tab on each sticker. That should prolong the inevitable.

Haha thats what I did. I'll take them off once I get my case

I'm running a case on it now, but the bezel kept me from getting the tan leather
I just clipped the ends of the factory protective film as well. I was originally planning on removing the film altogether, but since I'm waiting on OEM plastic backs to show up en masse on eBay at a reasonable price so I can buy one and use my case, we'll see how long the film lasts instead. A matte or brushed finish would have been much better regardless of whether the trim ring was plastic or metal.
It's definitely not as attractive a design as the g3 IMHO

I'm a new Axon 7 owner and am currently searching for a case to use on this phone. The stock transparent case that comes with the phone is great but due to the fact it's a glossy plastic, it attracts a lot of grease from my fingers and feels dirty after a while. I also dislike it because the sweat from my hands will form into condensation on the back of the case. I also have a problem where the jack on my headphones (Audio Technica ATH-M50) is too large to fit in the hole provided.
I decided to purchase the Spigen 'Rugged Armor' case from Amazon after reading a lot of positive comments about it, but I have been left disappointed and debating whether to return it due to the sheer size and thickness that makes handling the phone (Which is already large enough!) incredibly difficult with small hands. The case does not add much friction despite the material used having a rubber-like appearance, and I actually feel more likely to drop the phone as a result of trying to fumble with the added size. As well as this, the cut-out for the headphone jack is still too small even though it's larger than the wider than the one seen on the stock case. I also find it a lot more difficult to access the fingerprint scanner due to the thickness of the case surrounding it. Another problem is that the case is quite difficult to put onto the phone and a lot harder to remove, to the point where it feels like i'm actually going to damage the phone by attempting to do this!
For my previous phone, a Lenovo ZUK Z2, I had a fantastic Nillkin 'Frosted Shield' shell case that was made from a soft-touch rubber-like plastic. It was very slim at about 2mm in thickness at most, and although it didn't offer much in the way of drop-protection, it did have a nice textured back and that increased the grip tremendously. So, despite the case not being able to protect the phone quite as much from being dropped, it didn't matter because the chances of dropping the phone in the first place were a lot less likely. I wondered whether there was something similar for the Axon 7, but instead in a TPU-style with the sealed corners, and the same thickness as the stock case that's included with the phone? Any recommendations would be most appreciated.
This one is the best one, hands down: https://www.amazon.de/ARTILVST-umgebene-Struktur-Oberfl%C3%A4che-Protector/dp/B01MTLLSPA/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1505381744&sr=8-2-fkmr2&keywords=axon+7+slim+case+sand
It is ultra slim and has a very nice feel.

That looks nice, it's kinda like the old Sandstone Black finish on the OnePlus One. There was one similar to this on Amazon UK but I don't think it had the same texture to it. My only compliant with that one is that it isn't a TPU case which completely covers the corners, but on the other hand the sand texture probably adds a lot of grip to reduce the risk of it being dropped.
I'm currently looking into getting the J&D case from their official website. It's in TPU-form which covers the entire phone (Except from the power/volume buttons!) and has the textured soft-touch back I wanted. The only problem with this one is that the glossy plastic edges look a bit tacky in the pictures, but hopefully it's not as bad in person as it looks on the website. I have a discount code which knocks a subtle 15% off the price listed, so it might be worth a shot.
Looking into this now myself. The stock clear case will go yellow as they all do. Getting cheap see through black case as a temporary till I find a good one. I find the clear one a tad loose at the side.

Thanks. I'm mostly interested in the grip. I had a similar case from Amazon. fr but it was in fact quite slippery (it had a satin feel to it). Had to send it back.
The stock case that came with the Axon 7 is quite grippy but it is slowly going yellow.

Hey, have you received the case yet? Just wondering what you thought to it. If either you or @Sui77 could post a picture of it, that would be great as well. I'm still debating whether to choose this or the J&D TPU case that completely conceals the corners. I can't stand using the case which came with the phone much longer, as it's made from glossy plastic and attracts a lot of filth and grease. I imagine the ARTILVST case would be a lot better in this regard.

Yes I did. Or is ok, but not as grippy as I was hoping for. The original case provides more grip.

Thanks for posting those pictures! That's a shame to hear the grip wasn't as good as expected. I wanted something which provided more grip than the stock case, so maybe this isn't the right one for me. I also live in the United Kingdom and having the case shipped from Germany would make it more expensive in postage costs. It does look like a nice case but I am worried it might not offer much protection if the phone is dropped. I think the J&D case would perhaps be better because it has a soft-touch back and conceals all the corners properly.
I have that same Spigen case as above, an Incipio TPU case in smoked brown, and another thin "shell case". This thin shell offers zero protection in case it is dropped, making using one pointless , IMO.
The Incipio case is OK, but again thin and will show wear very quickly. The Spigen one is my favorite hands down, doesn't add bulk to the phone all ports easily accessable, and the edges offer good grip.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinions regarding the cases available for the Axon 7. It's interesting to hear how you found the Spigen case not to be bulky, because I found the opposite and returned it for that exact reason. I eventually purchased one of the cheap, plastic shell cases from AliExpress similar to the that in the pictures Joaste posted above.
My overall opinion on this case has been positive but it has worn on the edges and there are cracks down all four corners. As you mentioned, a shell case does not offer much drop protection but it's definitely better than not having a case at all and it does improve the grip quite notably. However, I wish it had a textured or 'Sandstone' back to help avoid grease buildup.
I am now looking for another case, but options in the UK are limited since the Axon 7 is not officially sold here.
I've been using my TPU smoke black case with a glass screen protector for a while and enjoyed that. I got fed up with the Poetic Revolution case because of the dry protector built into the front. It allowed dust and stuff in between the screen and protector. Tonight I stripped out the dry protector and put the case on with the glass protector still on the screen. Fits nice. I have a full coverage protector to fit and might see if it will work with the Poetic. Might need to trim the inner edges of the corners near the speaker grilles.
I've been using this Proworx case since right after I got my Axon 7, so for a bit over a year now. I wasn't super impressed when I got it so I figured I'd replace it as soon as I found something better or it wore out, but I'm still using it, which says something about it.
It isn't the slimmest, for sure, but it isn't as bulky as the Otter Boxes and whatnot that everyone with a non-cracked iphone seems to have. It protects very well - TPU around the edges, fully covering the corners (which is a must, in my eyes), polycarbonate back, enough of a lip on top to protect the screen if you set it down face-down, and the cut-outs and buttons are perfect. Good drop protection - I've "thrown" it onto asphalt, tile, and concrete without the phone getting a scratch. Also works well with the glass screen protectors we covered in another thread. Easy enough to put on and take off too, with no chance of the phone just falling out.
Again, not the thinnest, but not huge, and the protection is excellent. Plus they're cheap and come in multiple colors. And as is typical with cheap stuff manufactured in China, I've seen this same case under at least a couple of other brand names, CoverOn for one. For $5-$6 I recommend trying it - I like it enough that I pretty much never think about replacing it, even though it (a clear one) has yellowed a tad. After trying like 10 cases for my G3 and finding faults with each of them, I can say I like this one enough that I'll probably replace it with the same one, eventually.

I decided to order one of these in black to try out. Have been quite happy with my Spigen, but after installing this Proworx case yesterday, I think I am falling in love. Seems to offer enough protection, fits & looks nice, AND I kind of like how the buttons are a bit harder to push in, which actually prevents me from squeezing open the screen every time I try to pick it up. :good:

Quoting myself here.
Today I fitted the full coverage protector to my Axon 7 and it fits into the Poetic Revolution case nicely! Glad I stripped out the dry protectors in the Poetic cases. I've also now fitted a plastic protector over the glass one as a quick and easy tear off to sacrifice for wear and tear but the glass one makes the front of the phone flat. Even with two stacked protectors, touch works perfectly.
The picture is slightly misleading as the black section also covers the capacitive buttons so there's no indicator of position, but not being backlit anyway, it makes little difference.
Here's a quicky bunch of pics. I have a soft TPU smoky case, black Poetic Revolution and a blue/grey Poetic Revolution which can be mix and matched. Got a couple of little bubbles under the plastic protector and will fix that later, or just remove it. Looks good with just the full coverage glass one.
If anyone is looking for a slim case I just picked up a Bear Motion Sand from eBay. Best case I've had so far for my A7 and I've tried quite a few. Feels like my OPO did.

Been using this one for over 6 months now with out any issues , not as bulky as it looks and the stand is useful . I also have a full body clear skin from clear-coat that fits superbly, clear-coat has various outlets through the UK and installs as you wait , is a bit pricey at £30 for the full skin .
I work in the building trade so need it well protected .
1) Most screen protectors do not fit the view 20. The description might claim it fits View 20 and Nova 4 but in reality it will not. Most do not include the cut-out for sensor and camera, and do not cover the screen fully. To be sure the protector fits, get Olixar tempered glass, which is specifically made for Honor View 20. It's more pricey, but well worth the money.
2) Do not buy hard plastic covers for the device. View 20 is full-glass phone and hard plastic covers provide no real protection to it. Get a soft TPU one.
3) Camera lens protection is also recommended, as the lenses touch the surface you place it on, and also very easily scratch. You can get one from amazon for 10 dollars.
4) In a nutshell, there are a ton of accessories available that are supposedly usable for View 20 but in fact aren't. And most importantly, this phone is super prone to scratches so please protect it all around.
You don't need a screen protector, as the View 20 comes with one pre-applied. The phone also comes with a soft plastic case in the box, which when used raises the lens of the camera off the surface.
All the points you've made seem to be totally covered by the items you get straight out of the phone's box.

First of all, the Global Model does not include a case.
Second, the screen protector is incredibly thin and made of soft plastic. It provides very little cover at all. Third, when you put your phone in your pocket, the camera glass will scratch.
I bought the olixar screen protector. Like the one I bought previously there is no cut out for the camera, even though it was shown in the ad on Amazon

I have a Mofi screen protector. It is fantastic at preventing fingerprints. It is, indeed a hard, tempered glass screen protector. It is edged in black, which matches up to the phone's small bezels. There is also a small black circle around the camera notch. I'm happy with it, especially comparing it to the smudgy, original plastic screen protector that came on the phone.
As far as cases go, I've also gotta hand it to Mofi - perfect fit and prefer the fabric cases. I cannot stand the fingerprint prone clear cases. I tried another one, in addition to the one that came with the phone, and I just cannot do it.
Just received my case from AliExpress.
Very thin and first impressions are favourable although I'm tempted to put a thin clear film over the joint between the case and mini screen in the corner in case the edge flexes and scratches the screen.
Construction is a very thin hardshell rear with a plastic flip and a smoked translucent corner on the front.
Clearance for the cameras on the rear is minimal.
There's a small square magnet visible on the flip below the widow for the hall sensor to let out acts as a smart cover.
Using miui12 always on screen and smart case options gives a small clock and battery indicator in the window.
Can see the height difference between the Xiaomi smart cover and the leather case I had before.
The orange is muted and the Matt dark grey of the phone holder contrasts nicely.
Hopefully the mi10 won't get as warm with this case as it did with the leather one!
Does it affect (reduce) the screen on lateral ?

What do you mean by lateral?
That might not have translated well
The screen turns off when you close the case and turns on when you open it.
I highly suggest not using this case! it leaves a mark on your display exactly where the glass plastic part begins. because it is not perfectly flush with the leather part.
I used mine for about a week and have a permanent scratch on the display the entire length of the plastic window.

nope mine did not come with a protector! which is odd cause everyone got theirs with a protector already applied. At the time I assumed this product would protect the display until my glass gets here but... it did the opposite -_-
I don't use this case even now that i have the glass on my phone because it limits the ways I can use it.
It looks dumb when taking photos because the thing just flaps in the air also cannot use my gimbal or my bike mount. all in all not my best purchase

Be my guest and try for yourself. I don't know the technical term but the screen has some sort of coating as it's top most layer and the case made a permanent mark on the glass if you clean it perfectly it's not visible. But as soon as you touch the display that part will get dirty almost instantly. Another example, if i use an alcohol wipe the outline of the window on the display retains moisture and the rest does not. So call it what you want but this case damages your display.
my solution was to clean the display perfectly and put a "Hydrogel" (marketing BS for plastic foil) on top. I totally forgot about it until you quoted my post
Oh you mean the oleo phobic coating. Been there already because i was so "smart" and had washed my first smartphone display with dishwashing soap and was wondering why it was getting dirty even after cleaning.
Later I found a solution:
