Moto G Official Flip Shell review - Moto G Accessories

http://www.androidbugle.com/2013/11/motorola-moto-g-official-flip-shell.html
Any idea what the pricing will be in the US/Canada? UK usually pays a premium.

Can anyone who has this let us know how far back it hinges, does it only open like a book or can you fold it back under the phone.

Look at picture 10 in the review link above, it does seem like you can fold it all the way back and hold it that way.

One of the features is "360 degree rotation".

Thanks guys

I really like the back texture of the flip case. Wish they had regular back cases without the cover.

From the article:
[UPDATE:]We've gotten official word that there will only be three colours available in Canada (Black, White and Royal Blue) and that they will be available from TELUS for $34.99.

The Official Flip Shell is now available from Amazon UK. £18.

Price gouging or wat?

Yeah, that price is almost 1/4 of what I paid for the phone. Hopefully an unofficial Flip Cover with working magnet unlock mechanism will appear as an alternative.

Only in white though, still waiting for a black one.

This motorola flip cover looks good. Too bad it's hard to find one in Europe. Is there similar product on the market? Maybe something cheaper aka china made.

Give it time, I'm sure someone will make a decent knockoff for real cheap.

Hope so as nearly 20 quid too dear I think.
In the meantime I'm just using a 2 quid flip case from ebay and installed an app to make the phone unlock automatically when I open the case as I hate having to press the power button all the time :good:
There is a nice case on ebay for £5 although it's in China. I'm not allowed to post a link as I'm new here but if you search for this 'Nillkin Fresh PU Leather Skin Cover Hard Back Case for Motorola MOTO G XT1032' you will find it.
It also lock/unlocks the screen which is what I'm looking for.

The royal blue flip shell is now available on Amazon uk

I'm pretty sure that's meant to attract the magnet on the cover to keep the flip case closed.

Cleaning
I've got the yellow/green one and love the way it looks, save for one thing: the felt on the inside of the cover is hard to clean. How do you guys get dirt off of it?

does anyone know about international shipping for original shells? Thanks

Spoke to Spigen's customer service, they told that cases for the LOG are in the works. So far they only have the crystal screen protector out. But, as I was told, Crumena, Valentinus, Ultra Thin Air, Ultra FLip, and Neo Hybrid cases are in the works. So SGP fans, sit tight and relax.
I keep checking eBay for a case so I can have everything set for when I get the phone. I imagine they'll be along soon, being such a high end device people will want protection from day one. Like a kid on Christmas waiting on this device!
Got mine from ATT yesterday and they had a case on display, it's a dual protection case for $35, adds a little thickness to the phone. I did find this one online http:// www.amzer.com/Amzer-Simple-Click-On-Case-Black-P95089.htm
I ordered one from this site...
It has free shipping if you use the code "Election" at checkout. My only concern is it states it's compatible with the international and ATT version which is impossible. I ordered the sprint version which is identical to the international. I think after looking at the picture that it's for the international version. I'll report back when I get it in.
Belkin Dual Material Bumper Case
got it from att, and it compliments the phone perfectly. an added benefit of this case is it creates a lip on the back of the device that is great for gripping, two thumbs up for this case...

Body Glove Icon Hybrid 2 gel/shell pack
I got the body glove. Doesn't add much size, looks good & feels more secure. The stock case fells a little slick to me so I was nervous about dropping it.

I got the bumper today and I really like it. One con tho is if you use a charger where the end is any thicker then the one that comes with the phone it will not fit into the slot provided in the case.

Any news on one for art unfortunately this ones for sprint
I'm waiting for the dual screen dual play display. I love the phone so far (picked mine up in store on Nov 2nd). I looked at the belkin bumper while I was in the store. I ended up just going naked. So far I've only gotten a small scratch on the plastic side, the front and back are pristine.

This case if definitely for the Sprint and International as the camera cut-out is for the 13MP camera. I really hope they make accessories for the AT&T version (though I bet it's not so easy as the sides are rounded, which I really hate).
I emailed otterbox about a case for the att version and they told me they have one in the works but no ETA

Does the bumper allow you to see the LED notification light on the power button, or does it cover that up?

[Q] Diztronic case and mercury screen protector

I was wondering if anyone tried the combination of the diztronic case and a mercury screen protector. The new mercury SP's doesnt cover the entire front anymore (see picture) and was hoping the rest of the front would be covered by the diztronic case.
I have the SP and matte case diztronic, and it shows a little bit of the S3 front screen when the case is on. its unnoticeable though. I have a blue Galaxy S3 and black case, black SP.

That actually looks really nice. I really like that the screen protector covers the Samsung logo, but hate that it adds the Mercury logo to the front of the phone. I would love to have an all black S3 with no logos but, alas, I've yet to find a way to do that.

try bullkin. I think there's a thread somewhere here with a direct link to buy from china.
the only drawback is that the menu/back key barely lets the light through.
EDIT: since it ships from china, it will take a while, but i have the red one and it covers up nearly everything save a tiny sliver on one or the other side.

do you have a case on the s3 or just the sp? because i really want the diztronic case and trying to figure out which SP would be best to pair with it
I didnt order the bullkin one. I kind of prefer the mercury because its anti glare. lol.
Btw, my phones back cover has a xtremeguard back protector and when its not there, the case wraps much better on the phone and doest show the original screen of the phone

thanks a bunch. That was the one I was looking for (but in red) I know ebay has some for sale and I remembered someone here said they're buying one so i'm waiting to hear their response in regards to "lift" for the bumper.
the only thing that bothers me about that case is that it's a cutout of the buttons rather than a cover.. but that's why i'm thinking of taking apart my other case to modify to do so. I'll see if I can post results if it's successful.

this one is red.... im thinking about try it because i have the same one but the slider version and not the screw.
Let me know if it works well with the bullkin SP.
also i like the cutouts.... cases with a cover over the buttons tend to be too sensitive or impossible to press the buttons
sounds good. when i get to modding mine. i'll post a review of some sort.
oh god. that case, i have a black one of that. One of the screws goes through the hole, but this is because of the case being defective. But the piece where the screw rests, gets. The case looks good though, but the buttons are too deep in the case. You wont be able to press them with ease. Maybe when youre done modding ill try the case again.

I'll report back with pictures and a summary of what I did. I'm just waiting to hear back from the other member who was buying from the same seller.
btw, since you said you have that case, when you place the phone on its back, does the camera lens still touch the surface it's laying on or does it give abit of space?

Future Shop for us Canadian folks is starting to carry an official LG Branded Optimus G bumper as well as a flip cover. The bumper just doesn't offer enough protection for my taste so I went with the flip cover, which I surprisingly enjoy.
Do you have a link for the bumper, didn't see it on the site!
Thanks!
Edit: Nevermind, found it!
I have this bumper. Just put it on. I like it. This is my first bumper case. Thought I'd try one out since I like the back of this phone so much. Now I'm just waiting for my front and back shield.

great video. one correction though. the usb charger supplied with the G does fit with the bumper on. i just received the bumper yesterday and it fits snug as a glove. love the titanium look.
Thanks for the comment!
Yes, the official USB does work, but not if you try any other "bigger" one, like if you got one in the car, one @ work, etc...I tough I specified it in the video, maybe I forgot!
as for shipping from canada to US, considering the customs and how long they can take, I wouldn't expect it to be delivered within a week! Have you tryed best-buy?
just got the bumper from Futureshop today. the free shipping (within Canada) took only one day to deliver.
Definitely a better case by look and feel compared to the hard rubber one I got from Telus. I like the grip better, looks sharp. But it also leaves the back exposed.
The only gripe is that my earphones with L-shaped connector doesn't click ALL the way. Still plays music but comes off a bit easy.

Official Bumper

So what do you guys think? Has anyone seen one yet? I know its a bit pricey, but i really liked the bumper on the N4 and think google/lg nailed it. I am considering buying this one, but the black is not available. Does anyone know if it just sold out really quickly or if only the gray was available at launch?

Shows £24.99 and "coming soon" in the UK. FFS Google why can't you get the accessories to us in good time. The UK didn't even get the wireless charge dock in the end.
Can someone confirm this is actually available to buy in the US?
I wasnt a huge fan of the oem bumper for the n4, only due to the fact that it left part of the metal ring visible on the top and bottom of the front of the phone. It didn't quite look like it fit correctly.
I did however love the poetic bumper, it fit perfectly, it was a bit thinner, and matched the phone almost as if there was no case at all.
Amazon already has the poetic up for pre order and shipping date of November 19 I believe. I've got one on order, and will post pictures when it arrives.

I really like the look of the official cases especially with the nexus logo intact. I'm part of the minority and like the thinnest case possible like the rearth slim or spigen ultra fit. This official case looks like a nice compromise between the "super thin barely any protection" cases and the thicker "add too much bulk more protective" cases. Definitely pricey though.
I've had the spigen neo and was very disappointed. El cheapo imo. Rearth Ringke has been my favorite cases so far

No way I would buy that.
The image for the black bumper uses a GNex and does not really show anything about the bumper.
The image for the white bumper uses a Nexus 5 render without the bumper on it.
The description says it is for all carriers, including Verizon, on which the N5 does not work.
It would have been great to get an actual bumper case like the Nexus 4 had but I think I'll still get the official "bumper" for the Nexus 5. I'm a sucker for OEM fit and finish as well as I like how it still displays the NEXUS logo on the back.
The price is ridiculous though. I hope the carriers offer it in store when they launch the phone so I don't have to get ripped off with shipping as well.

I think it's difficult to make a true bumper for the Nexus 5 because the back is curved. Nexus 4, iPhone... Those are phones with flat backs. Regardless, I think the case looks nice, but is a bit pricy.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
the official "bumper" case is expensive. but i'm guessing the "nexus" branding is what makes it worth it to a lot of people.
if you cover up your phone with any other case it just looks like any other phone and not like a beastly nexus. but now your vanity can be satisfied with a case that clearly states for all to see... NEXUS.

wished google made official one like that but in RED!
The official bumper looks quite appealing, and it looks like it extends past the camera. My only concern is the buttons. In-house cases that the phone company comes out with are notorious for having hard button covers. Guess we'll just wait for video reviews on that.

I got this today, it is good, not great but cheap. But the screen protector does not fit something wrong with the dimensions I used the scissors, or maybe I could not fit properly. It folds at the back. that is nice.:good:

Does that one switch the screen on/off ?

No, Motorola will sell that but it is not leather but expensive though.

Hi. If you have case even leather with do cover you can use the app hovering controls. It does not work smoothly but simulates what the shell is supposed to do.
A bit annoying is that many times of you keep your hand hovering it will lock your phone disturbing what you are doing.

Ok so got a no questions asked refund. Now which one do I get instead? I want card slots, so the flip shell is out (aside of the rip off price)...

It would be great if you updated on how this goes, is there any estimated delivery date? I have been looking for a case than has separate holes for the camera/flash and have been we waiting for that one to come into stock.

I'll jump in here and say that I've had several Ringke cases and they've all been great. They are one of my favorite case manufacturers, and they're fairly inexpensive.
Edit: just ordered a clear case as well. I was going to get black, but decided I want either the red or blue shell, so the clear case will show it off.
Yes I think they has stock in clear maybe not in the other colors

My ringke slim case came in
Case looks nice doesn't feel or look cheap.
Doesn't add bulk but does make the phone little slippery in the hand
Like how it came with a screen protector and when installed don't add any glare or interfere with the quality of the screen.
And has table lay so if you lay it on the table it won't be touching the screen
And cutoff for the power button and volume button still are easy to press and don't not interfere.
Overall 9/10

Would love to see some pics of the case mate naked tough and otterbox commuter. There must be someone out there with them to take some pics or video.

There is already quite some choices and availability for Moto G cases, but none of those I can find on the Internet cover the two weak points of a phone, especially this one: the side buttons AND the screen.
The Ringke look like they are the most reliable cases, so are some rubber cases that wrap the phone in the bumper with cutouts for the Volume and Power/lock buttons but... it doesn't protect the screen as much as the flip shell does but the flip shell leaves the definitely flimsy buttons unprotected.
Isn't a case that cover both weaknesses common for other older models ?
