Good dual layer/slim case? - Moto G5 Plus Accessories

This cheapo dual layer case has done well for me, but I'm not a fan of how thick the case is, considering how slim so of the protective cases are today. What's a good case that's slim, but also has the dual layer thing going on?

This thread is a good read:

I still am a Spigen fan. I really appreciate what the dual-layered cases try and do, but the Spigen really surprises with its protection and thinness.

I really like this case & I don't think it has added that much bulk to the phone.
It does provide good grip & protection.
I dropped my phone when on the treadmill & it landed on the belt & shot off the treadmill flew about 5 feet & hit a wall and no damage to phone. Whew!! that was a close one.
I have dropped it screen side down numerous times with no screen damage.
Yes it has good grip, but my hands do not, so I drop my phone a lot.
Anyways here's the link to the case I use.
If you get it with the screen protectors those are pretty good at staying clean.

I hate bulky cases. I found this slim case that has protected mine from some nasty concrete and tile drops.
search amazon for this "Moto G5 Plus Case, J&D [Drop Protection] [Slim Cushion] [Lightweight Bumper] Shock Resistant Protective TPU Slim Case for Motorola Moto G5 Plus (5.2") - [NOT Compatible with Moto G5 5.0"] "

I just purchased a case from armor-x. If you do a search for armor-x and moto g5 plus it should pop up. They have a really neat mount system that is built right into their case (on the back). It does not seem to add noticeable bulk to the phone.

[Review] Momax UltraThin Case

Just a quick review of one of the better cases that I have come across...for those who dont like TPU and soft cases were the lip around the screen would easily peel back, and dont feel like actual part of the phone...Seems to be the only option was to run with no case, or them clip on cases.
The Momax UltraThin is the best case for myself at the moment, offering all that I am after, a phone that is still slim, protects it from minor scratches...I admit, not much drop protection but then, even thicker cases dont always promise absolute protection.
Anyways, the case is well lipped, accurate and precise, the holes for the buttons are well placed and shaped, overall very easy, as if there was no case on. The camera hole is well flushed to the camera itself.
Most of all this case actually clips on very tight and firm, just the way I like it...there is no give or any gap or loose points like TPU cases or SGP Neos...its just a firm case, that makes you feel like you are holding onto a phone without any added bulk...
Plus, the paint job on it is absolutely stunning...pretty flawless, high quality product...for a fair price...Ill let the photos do the talking...
Cheers.
Nice and simple case. The price seems cool too, thanks for sharing the product, I'll have a look at it!
Looks very nice. Where did you get it from?

I got mine on Ebay, shipping took about 1 week to New Zealand which is as slow as things get...
Also, is the material on the inside part of the case metal? I'm afraid it would scratch the plastic on the back of the phone if there's any rubbing.. ?

It is plastic, very smooth so I do not think it would scratch at all unless there is sand or other small hard particles between the case and phone.
What is different from other mesh cases ?

There are no mesh that allows small dusts to get between case and phone I suppose? I believe it also comes in transparent as well...
Have the same case - price and quality are perfect. I like that comparing to original phone materials this case feels like good-old soft-touch back panel. Only drawback I can find is that this case can be scratched easily - after a month of carrying my phone mainly in the pocket there appeared lots of small scratches. I bet this is due to the material of the case.
is there any problem with voice conversation like other ebay cases ?
No gps problem ?

Video Review: Casemate TOUGH case for the Galaxy Note

Hello all,
I have bought a Casemate tough case and received it today and made a quick video on youtube about how it looks and feels on my channel.
In summary it is a fantastic case and the only drawback is the fact that it hand't been released earlier.

How thick does it make the device now?
It's not actually that bad to be honest. It gives it a "nice and comfortable" feel

How about when you put it in your pocket? is it still comfortable in there? I use TPU cases right now, and they're fairly slim as they are. But I never feel comfortable with them if I were to drop my device. They're just good for scratches, not for falls (which never happens, but I'm sure it will happen sooner or later).

It fits into my pocket alright a nice fit without making it look like i am "excited" . I am 6'2" however so my pockets might be slightly bigger. With this I literally have no worries about it dropping. I probably don't even need the screen protector on the device.
If you look on my youtube channel there is another case review up from casemate too and the phone does seem just as secure without the added bulk.

I see what you mean but I don't mind it as the phone is big already.
I just love the case because it is soooo comfortable to hold. I had it on my GS2 and I couldn't wait until casemate released it.
It would be worth trying it if you get the chance you won't regret it

Sure mate, might buy it later i guess...
Its always good to have choices..
I have a TPU gel S-Line wave case on my Note right now.
I intend to buy the Case Mate Tough, but there are some things I want to ask you about.
How does it feel when you press the power / volume buttons? I mean... do you feel it, or it's like... erm... dang. The feedback, is it good or bad?
Also, how "slippery" is it on the top/bottom edges (where the polycarbonate shell isn't holding it as tight as on the sides)? Bad enough to "slip" off a bit when you take it out of a tight pocket, or even when you drop it...?
---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------
Oh and one more thing (not likely to be the last )... Did you get a screen protector inside the package? The store where I'm about to buy it from claims there is one in the package, although they don't mention whether it's made by Case-Mate (do they actually do screen protectos?) or some other firm, or if it's clear or matte or whatever...
The feeling is really good I loved it. The button feedback is great. I buy tough cases for all my phones as I love how they feel. The buttons are easy to press and the phone stays clean without any dirt getting in between the phone and the case.
With regards to screen protector, no there wasn't one and I am not aware that casmate do do any screen protectors. I usually go for zagg ones as I like them the most.

Thank you for the answer!
Then the store that is selling the case probably includes a crappy screen protector in themselves . Or CaseMate started to add this recently... who knows.
I'll buy it on wednesday. Hope I don't get one that has askew cut-outs and such, haha .
My case arrived just today!
It had a screen protector in the package... which was probably added by the shop, since the package was not sealed anymore and... oh well...
The screen protector was probably good, at least as good as those cheap ones you can get for a dollar a piece, but I f**ked up at installing it. I was planning to go down to a shop and buy a 3M Vikuiti screen protector (the vendor installed it, perfectly), anyway.
-----
The case is... well, it's bulky! It's really good, but installing it is a bit... well, it's hard. I did some drop tests with it, and the buttons were slightly off, also the lip... required some extensive pulling-with-teeth .
I'm dissapointed by the fact that they didn't add a few extra stripes of ABS on the top and bottom.... without those, those two sides are flimsy and easy to get off, you know... Anyway.
Also, the hard shell doesn't perfectly fit over the silicone glove, at least on the top side... but it's good enough.
For this kind of price, I was expecting utmost perfection, but it's good . To be honest, the S-Line wave TPU case I had before felt better in hand - also had better grip. Or perhaps I just need some time to adjust to this new case...
Also, hate how the silicone is a dust magnet.
-----
Anyway, this case is overall good. Definetly protects the phone well .
I used the case-mate tough case back when I had my Galaxy S and loved it! It offered outstanding protection from bumps and knocks so I purchased the case again for my Note. Used it for a few months but have since moved to the Mercury case. What made me change was the difficulty I had taking the phone out of my pockets. The textured surface of the case is nice to hold and feels good but it's too clingy to clothing, magnified by the size of the case's surface area ( probably why I never had the same problem with my Galaxy S). Still use it every now and again though.

The Mercury case seems to be a jelly case?
And it doesn't even cover the buttons...
Oh well. You should have bought the CUBZ S-Line wave TPU case instead, it's more good looking

Any "otterbox" like cases

I've looked quite a bit and cant really find any good cases that are like otterbox. Its not that i want an otterbox. I just would like something similar that covers up all the ports on the phone. There only seem to be 3. Maxboost hybrid, trident and i bason i think. But they seem to be cheap and dont fully cover the ports. I already have the maxboost, witch is ok, but its pretty cheap, and every time i pull it out of my pocket the bottom half slides off and i have to slide it back in place. Why is there no otterbox? They got something against the N5?, they even got a moto g case. Its all about the $$$

I just bought this, from fleabay, Cant really tell you too much, never had an otterbox..
I can tell you its pretty cool, and the front screen protector is nice, doesnt hinder touch too much
The problem you are going to most likely have with the ballistic (because I certainly do) is the need to remove it once a week or so due to the level of dust that somehow manages to transfer from inside your pocket or anywhere else to under the protector. Unlike an otterbox which actually tries to keep dust out at the top, this is a wide open door. Also, it takes some getting used to looking at the case because of how much the 4 corners bulge out - definitely not the prettiest case around.
But I fully appreciate this case for what it does do right - I have dropped my N5 on concrete numerous times and it's sometimes funny to show off how good of a case it is to people I meet by just saying "oops" and dropping it from shoulder height onto pretty much any surface below. See the looks on peoples faces - worth the money right there. Lol

Spigen Slim Armor, I have been using it for months. Looks great, protects well, and doesn't add much size to the phone. $15 for the smooth black, great deal
http://www.spigen.com/nexus-5-case-slim-armor.html
Looks arent as important to me, im just worried about the protection of the phone and ports
Most people haven't heard of it but Siedio makes amazing full body protective cases.
Search Google for the Seidio Convert Combo Case Nexus 5. (I'd give you a link but I have 2g right now)
The case makes your nexus 5 a little bulky, but not much heavier ime. It has covers for the ports and its a 3 layer case with a good quality screen protector included.
Honestly, I believe that the Spigen Slim Armor is quite overpriced for what you get. i say this having actually bought one myself. The software is totally rubbish. Also, since it depends on using the proximity sensor to activate the screen, it causes numerous issues with that as well. you could always use it without the software, but it still doesn't change the fact that you just paid $45 for a piece of plastic with a hinge.
+1 on the seidio convert case. I just got it from the android central store during one of their last sales and I love it. It comes with the seidio surface hard shell case with kickstand which is pretty slim and protective on its own, but it also comes with the thicker rubber outer case and hard shell for structure and more protection (and protects/covers the ports), plus it comes with a locking holster that you can switch mounting attachments on between the standard belt clip, or the car mount, running arm band, bike handle bar mount (sold separately).
The case is awesome, I couldn't say more good things about it, great shock protection, great dust protection, light water protection, great button response, and the ability the simply use the surface case in its own right makes this well worth the money!

Cruzerlite Bugdroid
I have been using the Cruzerlite Bugdroid TPU case. It has a slim profile while feeling quite sturdy and able to withstand a drop. All my friends who have the OnePlus One have this case. It comes in a very very wide variety of colors, too. The only downside is that it does fade after a while, but it really isn't that bad or too noticeable. The price is very reasonable for the quality of the product. It is easy to find on Amazon.
Hope this helps.

Make sure you get the one I linked to, with the slightly bigger corners, better protection
I've had the Diztronic case for around 7 months now and it's been perfect. Protected when dropped, not too bulky, slight raised lip on screen side to protect screen when placed screen face down.
The only negative I can think of is that it does add a bit of weight to the phone, although I'm sure that is inevitable based on the protection it gives and also the sturdy nature of the material it is made from.

Exactly... you want protection? Then you're gonna feel it
Try a casemate barely there on your phone and see if it protects... makes me wanna cringe immediately
I wouldn't wanna droptest with that on, or any other "lookyoucanhardlyseeandfeelmebecauseIamsothin" case
if you like TOTAL protection i recommend TWO cases TUDIA OMNIX and POETIC. i have the TO and my experience to it is that the covers of the audio and charger ports are not good if you use them for a prolong period of time they dont go back easily i mean there is a small part of the cover that tends to stay open.
FOR POETIC, i saw reviews both Oneplus.net and amazon they say that it is much better than TO it is much thin than the TO and the ports are much better.
Another great feature about the Diztronic is the way it covers the side buttons and gives them a more sturdy feel. I got another case previously and it had cut out for the buttons, but it was a pain trying to press them as the OnePlus One's side buttons are so small.

Anyone running a case?

Hi All,
I am a S7 Active owner since launch day and really love the phone. Just curious if anyone is running a case or bumper-style case on the phone? I know the rubberized coating on the perimeter of the phone does a decent job, but if I could find something slim and good looking I may consider it just to protect from scuffing the perimeter and screen/back.
Chris
Cimo case here. love it. was getting rid of old phone stuff and came across some apple stickers; had to do it lol. nice slim tight fit, love it. also got glass screen protector which i highly suggest as the screen is polycarbonate plastic on top and WILL scratch easily.
https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Cimo-Premium-Flexible-Samsung/dp/B01ETKGOTW
Got a otterbox for it. The holder kinda sucks which can let the phone fall out in extreme situations and turns the phone into a bulky cumbersome brick but a indestructible cumbersome brick.
I am a case addict and have a case for every scenario:
Otterbox Defender for extreme scenarios.
BodyGuardz case for medium/heavy duty protection.
Body Glove for kickstand use.
SUPCASE UNICORN BEETLE for grip and fitted case (best all around). Pics below.
S5 Seidio holster for naked use.
Holster used with SUPCASE is the Note 4 Seidio holster.

This.
I will be doing liquid screen protection, since I did my homework and read the countless reports of the overlay being prone to scratches. Beyond that, I might do a skin for the back/sides, but the phone seems bulky enough without adding a case.
I have a Poetic Affinity but rarely use it, I love way the phone feels without a case.

Cimo case here. love it. was getting rid of old phone stuff and came across some apple stickers; had to do it lol. nice slim tight fit, love it. also got glass screen protector which i highly suggest as the screen is polycarbonate plastic on top and WILL scratch easily.

You should have put the apple sarcastically "up side down" at least!

I am a case addict and have a case for every scenario:
Otterbox Defender for extreme scenarios.
BodyGuardz case for medium/heavy duty protection.
Body Glove for kickstand use.
SUPCASE UNICORN BEETLE for grip and fitted case (best all around). Pics below.
S5 Seidio holster for naked use.
Holster used with SUPCASE is the Note 4 Seidio holster.

I am also using the SUPCASE UNICORN BEETLE and love it! Best all around case, so much so that I don't even look around any more! Easy to hold, great protection - front, back and edges, and slips in and out of my pockets without a lot of hassle!
I just went simple - TGSP and a clear TPU cover - "Fosmon DURA-T Slim TPU Back Cover Case". Paid less than $10 off amazon for both. The phone is sufficiently rugged on its own for my purposes, it was more about keeping it from looking like it went through a war zone.
What I particularly like about TPU covers is that they slide in and out of my pocket easily. nothing to grab my clothes with.
2 co-workers got the S7 active after I did - one had no intention of using a screen protector nor a case, but he's gotten some "microscratches" and is reconsidering. The other has gotten a couple very light scratches while waiting for the TGSP to come in, again from amazon.
Just next day'd " Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Case, Zizo [Bolt Series] " off Amazon (it looked the most rugged and thats what i was looking for) comes in tonight and I will try to write an update if I get a chance.
Got the case in, it's definitely rugged.
Audio jack is right next to the hanger clip which may make it difficult to insert head phones, but I only use blue tooth so that doesn't affect me.
The screen sealed on nice and over all the case fit real snug. I like it as of right now but will try to update once it goes through it's first real impact.... hopefully it does it's job.

I just got the same case. Power button is super hard to push

Weird, all my buttons are easy to push... Maybe there is some accuracy issues in production? Because all these buttons are easier to push then the Defender series I had on my other phones.
Maybe the rubber button over the power button just needs to be broken in a little. Try taking the case off and pressing the button in and out a few times to make sure it is pressing easily and then placing it back on.
So far I really like this case... its holding up well for me and its really easy to grip... personally I thought I wouldn't like the lanyard that came with it... but now I keep it on at all times and it keeps me from misplacing my phone so often.
