Moto G7 Case, Yiakeng Shockproof Protection Soft Glitter Silicone Slim Full Cover Phone Cases for Motorola Moto G7/Moto G7 Plus 6.2" (Black)
Had this a few days and it seems fine, buttons work well and everything lines up, big improvement over the clear included case. It was one of few in stock yet that said for G7+ too but it's decent enough for now. If Spigen makes a case for this phone (they haven't yet) I'll probably upgrade to it.

I ordered an A-Case from Amazon.com on Monday and it arrived last night. It's 10x better than the folio case from Moto. Not sure if it will be better than the moto leather case, but for the price, it's a fine piece of work!!!!! Just wanted to throw that out there...
I actually got both. It's very similar in shape and texture. However, the A-case is softer, thus feels a little bulkier (but not much). The A-case has their logo embossed on the front. The Motorola leather case does not have any logos or printing on it.
I personally like the Motorola case better because no logo and it feels a little slimmer.
Tip: The edges get scratch easily. Just use a black magic marker and paint it black. No one will notice.
Got the A-Case as well from Amazon - I really, really like it. I never got the Moto one, mainly becuse of poor reviews, but the A-case is awesome!
ACase is fantastic. Whether you factor the price or not. So far it's my favorite.
I actually like the xoom folio I picked up at BestBuy when I got my xoom. The only thing I don't like about it is having to leave the screen exposed while charging, but I'm thinking I can resolve that in minutes with the help of a sharp leather hole punch..
The acase looks nice butappears to block the headphone jack when closed.. I don't know which is worse. Xoom+Pandora=win
Bluetooth headset ftw.
An acquaintance of mine asked me to do this before returning a case or two. I decided to also post it here because I see a lot of "searching" for that ideal slim case for the Moto X, and also because I'm giving you guys another chance to make fun of me
I compared three cases and mentioned several others.

For those who don't want to suffer through my Grammy award performance on Youtube, here's the key parts.
Cases Compared:
Power Support Air Jacket Grip - Looks beautiful in online redners, not so much in person. Has a harsh transition from the clear and rounded plastic to the cheap-feeling matte TPU on the sides and front. Poor build quality as it was coming apart at two seams upon purchase. Top mic cutout is off and obscures the phone's mic. Buttons are mushy, and there's an apparent unintentional lip by the power button which is annoying for both looks and functionality. On the plus side, it shows off your phone's back, comes in a variety of bumper colors, and allows access to the Motorola dimple. I recommend that users avoid this unless they REALLY want something designed for Motomaker variants.
Supcase by Brillotech - The only real downside is that sharp edging due to the way it was machine cut. It makes the grip uncomfortable. It has a very UAG-type look to it at a fraction of the price. The buttons are perfect and the cutouts are fantastic. Round out those edges and it would be perfect.
Verizon High Gloss Silicone (TPU) Case - Great feel in the hands due to rounded corners and consistent material. Downsides are the loss of the dimple and issues with the button response while breaking in the case for the first few hours. A solid purchase, but don't be fooled by the Verizon renders at the above link. The Moto logo and Verizon logo are showing through the case from the phone. There are no logos on the case and it looks far better in person than in this photo (the opposite of the Air Jacket Grip).
Cases Mentioned:
Diztronic TPU Cases - These are examples of affordable TPU cases for the Moto X. Seems that the black is matte, while the clear, clear glitter, and pink are high gloss. Wish they'd make a black high gloss
Grip Shell for Moto G - Provided as an example of the type of cases I'm into these days, consisting of a rubberized TPU bumper with a plastic back.
Samsung Protective Cover Plus for Galaxy S 4 - Another example, same as the Moto G case above.
SGP Ultra Capsule - SGP stopped making these, but this was my favorite all-TPU case for any device. Used it for nearly 2 years on my S2.
Verizon High Gloss Silicone Case for HTC Droid Incredible - Another example of an all-TPU case. Verizon sells these for many devices. They'll work fine for many non-Verizon devices as well.
Just wanted to provide some follow-up (don't worry, no more poorly shot, stuttering voice-over video!).
Air Jacket - I returned this the day after the video. absolute garbage.
Supcase - I used this for a couple of months. I simply could never get past the sharp edges, but otherwise loved the case.
Verizon HG Silicone - Absolute garbage. The buttons got even worse over time. I literally threw it in the trash as I couldn't return it for a refund at that point.
In the end, I purchased the Hyperion (I went with black, no longer available) and Diztronic cases (Amazon links provided are not referral links). I've been using the Diztronic ever since and love it. Now I want to buy 1-2 more before they're forever gone as eventual backups.
I have the Sparin (http://amzn.to/2xeWdYF) case which is two piece. The size and outside texture are great but the buttons are a little big on the side. I have butt-dialed and turned off the phone inadvertently a couple of time. Any alternatives that are close with more streamlined controls?

not dual layer but very good imo.

I've got this one on order.
TUDIA Moto G5 Plus Case
I ordered it because it looks nearly identical to the Spigen I had on my S7 and loved.

Please let me know how you like it.
I've got Tudia Merge and it's best. Durable material, nice grip and well made. I used tudia also with my moto x play for last year.

That actually looks great. Are the buttons part of the inner liner or separate?

It's ok. The inner TPU(?) isn't as soft as my previous Spigen and the metallic-like part of the case seems really flimsy. When installed tho, it stiffened right up and bulks the phone up making it much easier to hold. The molded buttons are part of the inner case and make the phone button very hard to press. I'm hoping they will get easier with use. It protects the camera bump and the does appear that it will protect the phone well. The metallic-like back is grippy and helps keep the phone from sliding around.
It's a good looking case for $10.
To be brief, I purchased 6 cases. Each had its advantages. The best case is the Spigen Tough Armor case with built in kickstand. It is a dual layered case but you can insert and remove the case while both layers are intact. Great protection and styling. Buttons are nice. Not too thick. I wish the side edges were smoother but I can live with it. Got it from ebay for about $17.
My 2nd choice is the Diztronic tpu case. It is thin and light. Nice to hold with a matte coating. Screen is protected by the edges. Styling is nice and simple. Buttons are fine. Not as much protection as the Spigen case and no kickstand but I like it's simplicity.
It goes for about $13 on ebay.
I like to switch off between the 2 cases.
Just wanted to post my thoughts.
The first pic is the Spigen Tough Armor
The 2nd pic is the Diztronic. It may also come in a hard version.
Thanks for giving your opinion, there are too many cases and little ranks ;D
If you want a tough case; the Otterbox Symmetry is amazing. It has the standard Otterbox protection, without all of the bulk of a Commuter case. It's a nice looking case without all of the cartoonish angles and lettering. I like it better than the Spigen Tough Armor (which is a very good case, BTW). I was able to pick up a black Symmetry case on Amazon for $19 (prime).
There are literally dozens of cases for this phone. The one I want and can't find is the Zizo Bolt Series for the 2 XL. I've seen the reviews on that case - and I'd love to have one. They make them for the standard Pixel, the Pixel XL, Pixel 2, and Pixel 3 / 3 XL.... but I haven't seen one for a 2 XL - which is odd.
If you happen to find one, please link it in this thread.
Thanks
Im all about the Spigen Case, Its been a great case for me so far.
I've been using Diztronic for a long time, at least since my Nexus 4. It is hard to top. We got the Spigen Tough Armor case for my wife's Galaxy S7 and discovered it was too thick for our car vent magnetic holder. I assume same issue with Pixel 2 XL version? I was able to snag a navy blue Diztronic before it fully went sold out, unfortunately on back order though so who knows, currently says Arriving Tuesday on my Amazon order.
In the meantime, I have a Spigen Thin Fit. It freaks me out as it is really too thin on the screen side. it is a good compromise for folks that dont want a larger case though. It also has a built in hole for my magnet for my vent mount.
Only recently got my Pixel, but I have a history of being quite fussy about cases, as well as being stingy!
I bought a slim plain hard back cover, which was fine, but then found this:

It's honestly perfect. covers everything except the screen, but adds virtually no bulk, you almost can't tell it's a case. Doesn't mark or fingerprint either.

Does it cover the bottom as well? Can you share some pictures? And how much does it weigh?
It's absolutely perfect. Weighs virtually nothing. Looks like its part of the phone. Covers everything but the screen.

This is literally the best case I have had. Cheap and classy. makes my phone look super classy.

This is a brilliant cover
Bought one of these - cheap, feels really nice, makes the phone non-slip, stops it sliding out of your pocket. Shame it doesn't cover the top and bottom, but it's still a great case, and different from most

Spigen Rugged Armor Designed for Moto G7 Case/Designed for Moto G7 Plus Case (2019) - Matte Black
This is a great looking/fitting/feeling case, had same one on my Moto G5 Plus and it was the best case I found in two yrs. The Yiakeng case I reviewed was the first one I could grab when G7+ was released, it is definitely an ok case but thinner (good if you want that) and not as good materials or quality. Good price too on Amazon at $13.99 compared to $25 (too much) on Spigen's website.
