Anyone have a suggestion for what kind of case will give me the rubberized feel that the HTC phones have (their backplates). Or if you can't think of a specific case, what kind of material I should be looking into>
I don't want a gel case I think cause its too rubberish and stick and hard cases are just bad. What's a good mix in-between?

Just look down before you start a new thread.
I did read all of that before posting. Unfortunately I am looking for a full-fledged case, not a skin or coat I put on the phone. I want something that will protect the phone from a full drop which is not a gel or hard case.
I have this one, it's a hardcase with rubber coating similar to G1, plus perforated holes for better grip. Best looking case in the market at the moment IMO.
"Mesh" case for i9000
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730699
vuvsion I have been following the forum very closely. I know of these cases and was considering getting one for the LONGEST time. They DO look great. But if you drop it, your phone is ****ed. It doesn't cover the edges. I don't really care its backplate (i can replace that easy enough). The sides though, are not replacable.
The mesh case covers the back but not the edges. It's pretty but not drop-proof. Do you know of anything LIKE it that covers more of the phone. Cause that would be perfect.
Perhaps one of the case-mate cases would have that same feeling, but since it's still in design stage, it'll take awhile for them to release anything.
Do you know if Case-Mate is even working on a model for the Vibrant/Galaxy S? I just looked at their site and they have VERY few cases for past Samsung phones.

Yup saw that like 3 minutes after posting. Voted on their case-mate forum too. I just hope it doesn't take a month for them to be out.

Howdy y'all,
I have a Captivate and have had a hard time finding a flip style case for it.
I have however found one for the i9000. After doing some research, I found that all 3 phones have the same dimensions... so do you think this case will work for my Captivate?
if its a flip style pouch-like thing then maybe. something like a Body Glove...nuh uh

Forgive my ignorance, but if the phone are the same dimensions, why would the captivate not fit into a Body Glove case?
The flip case that I linked snaps onto the phone... still think it may fit?
While the general dimensions are the same, the actual shape is not the same between the Captivate and the Vibrant/international Galaxy S. If it's a case that fits around the shape of the original Galaxy S, it most likely won't fit the Captivate.
There's a flip type case I found for the captivate from WirelessGround. Looks similar to the one from PDair. In fact, I believe they are the same. Both websites also have videos posted on youtube showcasing their respective cases.
I would post the links for you, but I can't. Don't know if that's what you're looking for, but I hope that helps.
cases are compatible among them all as they have the same cut holes for the buttons and mic areas
except for the 4G Epic which has a keyboard slide out
this is yet another reason why we need this

Thanks xer09aradox. It is what I'm looking for, although they're not as attractive as I was hoping.
It's hard to tell from photos, but does the i9000 have more rounded corners than the Captivate?
If it does, then I can't imagine my Captivate being about to fit into the original case I linked in my first post.
the Vibrant has more an iPhone 3GS look to it while the Captivate has much more defined corners
I just got my atrix but i dont like the plastic cover. I had desire to this point and i am looking for a case which has that kind of feel like desire.
I would really appreciate any help
I bought a silicone case from cnn.cn (Can't post URL yet)
Just received it today and applied it. We'll see it handles in a few weeks...
Does anyone know good protection case which comes with screen protector??
look into the "Cases - Thread" and "Which Case do you own" ...
this guy how can read, is a good guy
Except that trawling through the cases thread is crap, if someone wants an answer quickly or easily we might as well answer it. Stop being patronising and just be nice. Its a forum, not school.
The only decent looking ones I have seen are otterbox and ballistic. Otterbox defender has a decent looking screen protector too. Quite thick, although aparrently scratches a bit.

Apologies in advance for yet another slim case thread, but really didn't find what I'm looking for:
- as slim as possible, either hard or TPU, but not silicon
- would like all corners/sides covered
- preferably comes in white
The Anker case seems no longer available. Some clear cases got reviews about easily scratched. Some slim cases (e.g., bear motion) leaves the top/bottom unprotected. I have Ditztronic TPU case for a Droid DNA and considered that too thick for my taste.
The Supcase seems to fit my requirement, but I really have no idea how much bulk it adds to the phone. I'm already coming to the moto x for its size from a naked HTC One, so I don't want to add extra bulk if I can help it. Can anyone comment on how thick the supcase is? It's a two-piece (bumper + back)?

My wife has a Griffin TPU case on her iphone 5s that is really thin and light. Too bad they don't seem to make it for the Moto X.
The Qmadix also looks nice, and comes in white, but again, I wonder how thick it is...
As you said there are several other threads with all this info already and no reason to start a new one. Just read the existing threads, look on Amazon and eBay and find one that fits your criteria. You already know what you want, why do you want us to tell you what you already know?

I've read through the threads on XDA and elsewhere, searched and read on Amazon, and still have not found the answers I was looking for, or else I wouldn't feel the need to start another thread. If you feel my thread isn't of interest, please don't join the effort. I put rather specific questions about two cases people had mentioned before. I was hoping people who have those cases can address them, instead of me having to gamble the time and money. Isn't that one of the purposes of the forum?
If you can show me posts that directly address my questions, I'll ban myself from asking questions on this forum for 6 months. Hows' that?

I don't care if you ban yourself, which just seems silly. But if you have more questions about cases, then you should be posting them in threads that already exist rather than starting a new one.
As far as specific threads, I won't do the work for you but they do exist on this forum. I have personally posted about the Qmaddix cases and have even posted photos of them both on and off my MX. There is also several comments about the Sup cases including photos. There are no questions you asked that haven't already been answered here.

Need protection without overkill: OtterBox Defender. My wife and I bought them for our Moto X's and they are very, very nice. Comes in colors.
My favorite slim case is Fosmon TPU. Tried a supcase but didn't really like it.

I got a supcase off Amazon. I love it. Has nice look and feel. Not too sure how well it would protect against a good fall, its a slim case after all.

Qmadix is a nice not-big case
Anyone find a case like the first generation Otter box. It was rubber only. Tire tread, not easy to get out of your pocket. Perfect if you added a screen protector. I had one for my Droid x2. Defender?
It would stay put on your thigh.
Incipio makes slim cases. My wife and I both use Incipio cases on our Moto X's. My wife has the DualPro Shine and I have the DualPro. They are both fairly slim cases.

I do not follow you. When I search for the latest Defender for the x, I see only a $40 multi component case. The one I had was one piece all rubber only.
I have this one:

That is not a slipproof/tire tread back. But thanks.
I really like the SUPCASE Motorola Moto X Phone Unicorn Beetle Hybrid Case, this is slim and offers great protection.

Your flip case is looking very nice.. i will buy it. How much shipping cost ?
I pretty much was looking for the same thing as you. Slim case with great protection that added the very minimum bulk necessary to prevent the phone from being damaged and still felt great in the hand. I searched far and wide and decided on these two.
Moto X Hyperion TPU case off eBay. Link and vid included

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3EkhNlr_ek
It costs about $8 and its very slim and minimal. Its matte black and covers the phone great. Even has the dimple cut out for the Moto logo on the back. The TPU around the power/volume are precise and don't make the buttons hard to press unlike cheaper TPU cases out there.
I also ordered another tpu case for about $4 from another seller on eBay
This one is matte black and has the buttons cut out which is a plus since i hate TPU cases that make the buttons hard to press.
Thats about the only difference apart from not having a dimple cut out.
