We got an Moto X last week and a 2nd one on Monday Sale..
We got a case for the 1st one but it covers up the MotoMaker design.
Like the clear back and the rubber sides.
Any thoughts or feed back?
http://www.motorola.com/us/Air-Jack...-Jacket-Grip-for-Moto-X-by-Power-Support.html
I got one yesterday and I really like it. The rubber on the sides seal up to the bezel really nice and it fits snug. Adds just enough grip to it feel secure holding it (I don't like slippery devices!)
My first case was the clear plastic shell by inCase and I wasn't a fan. The plastic felt really slick & had no grip, and held on to smudges FOREVER. The AirJacket's plastic is a lot easier to wipe clean.
That looks like a really nice case. Even with last week's 30% off though, I couldn't justify that much for a case.
I like the one I got, except for the orange color. Is this odd pastel orange. Good quality though

I found the trick to that.
When putting it on--but the bottom of the phone in first, then slide the top over.
Reverse this for taking it out of the case. (Start at bottom, go to top.)
Anyone know the difference between the InCase clear case and the Air Jacket Clear case? I ordered the Air Jacket one, but haven't seen any reviews except on the InCase one.

I have both of these cases. I ordered the clear InCase with my phone off of the Moto Maker. It fit the phone fairly snug, but it seemed to feel like cheap plastic to me. It would act like a magnet for skin oils and finger prints and then was nearly impossible to get completely clean again. The molding of the edges that grip the phone seems kind of funny, because if you look at it pretty straight on it looks like there are paint chips in the plastic or something. Getting it off the phone always felt impossible, too! The whole thing felt very poorly made.
The Air Jacket I just got is a whole other story. The plastic on the back feels a lot better and doesn't have as much of the issue with finger prints. The rubber on the sides is grippy but not enough to be distracting. I feel a lot more confident holding this phone in my hand as I walk down the street, mainly in that I don't think it might slip out of my hand on accident.
I got the orange Air Jacket to go with my phone's metallic orange accents. The orange on the case is a little brighter and more washed out, but I still think it looks nice. I have a couple photos of both cases attached. Sorry if you are interested in seeing the phone in the clear InCase! I am not motivated enough to go through the hassle of swapping them again!
Edit: My attached photos aren't working for me so I'm guessing its not working for anybody else. Here are some linked photos, instead.

Thanks for the pictures and thoughts. I actually got the clear air jacket case. It doesn't have the rubber bumper, its similar to the incase clear, but supposedly has a self healing plastic. But if you like the clear plastic on the normal air jacket, its probably the same as on the case I ordered.

Nice, just to confirm cause in your pics it looks like it doesn't, but does this case hit the screen at all on the edges? I ask because I am curious if it would cause any screen protectors to lift on the corners like some TPU cases do because they hit the screen.
Thanks
The rubber does not extend past the bezels at all so you should never have that problem. In fact at the edge of the case you can see a tiny bit of the bezel.

Does the case make it so the screen no longer touches a table if you were to place it screen down? Thanks for the info

What Jayrod already said on this is correct. You will still see a small sliver of the bezel.

Yes, the case will lift the screen up away from the surface its sitting on. I usually place mine face down when I'm at my desk. No problems.
I ordered the Air Jacket Grip from Motorola and one of the anti-glare screen protectors. I think they both fit nicely on the Moto X. Does anyone know if there's a holster solution that works well with this case? I've been back and forth on all my phones between holsters and pocket carry. I was just wondering if Air Jacket made a holster for this case or if I'd have to go generic pouch.
I've been using my moto X with the air jacket case and the brilliant screen protector for about a week now. I'm really liking both. My biggest gripe about screen protectors was the way they felt. My previous ones felt too gummy and made it annoying to use so I would always rock the phone naked. The brilliant is as smooth as the glass. It does attract fingerprints and smudges but they wipe away easily enough.
Thank you..got the phone and the Air Jacket today and love the case!
It matches the Moto Maker Lime Yellow so great mix.
Real comfortable to use and good protection.
With the $350 purchase and 30% accessories it was great value vs the 1st Moto X I got at full price and returned for the difference!
Just put the Air Jacket Grip on my wife's and the regular Air Jacket on mine (they didn't have the color I wanted). Both cases fit very nicely, with minimal bulk, and don't appear to overlap the screen. They wrap just enough of the bezel to keep them firmly in place. Both models are super thin, lightweight, and follow the contours of the phone perfectly. Each has its pros/cons.
The Air Jacket Grip was fairly difficult to attach, and covers the buttons so if you're in love with your accent color, you'll lose some of it. This is offset by the fact that the transparent plastic "transmits" the color of the rubberized grips to all the visible edges of the plastic, so you pick up color accents all around your camera, speaker, and all the other cutouts. Kinda cool fiber-optic-like effect. The other obvious thing is the edge is grippier, but not nearly as much as I expected.
The regular Air Jacket has cutouts for all the buttons, so it doesn't hide the accent color, and is a breeze to attach. It covers much less of the front of the phone too than the grip version, because it doesn't wrap around the top or bottom of the phone. It's also extremely slippery.

I just received my regular Air jacket today and you're absolutely right about it being slippery. I'm glad they designed it to where I can still place my finger in the dimple though.
Got mine and fought like hell to install. Silver is not silver. More like white. Returning.
Also don't like how hard it is to push the buttons.
On to the next. (i have 5 total-mostly cheap one's from amazon)

I currently have a hard silicone back cover case on my phone but it becomes extremely slippery if I don't continuously wash it.
The back is completely smooth and I am terrified of dropping it.
I need to find a case that actually has a texture or some form of grip and keeping it under $20.
Otterbox Impact Case looks awesome, but I haven't found any good feedback on if its made from silicone that looses grip and goes slippery.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.
Amzer jelly case. Lots of colors, terrific feel, padded corners, textured grip area, good lens protection, and so cheap on eBay you can get them for less than burgers. And if you're someone who swaps out batteries, or has a car or desk dock that wants a naked phone, they're easily removable.
Thank you for the reply.
I've had silicone cases that would lift up when ever you would slide to one side or the other.
How are the edges on the sides of the screen?
Also, anyone know how the otterbox impact cars are?
Sent from my HTC Evo via the XDA app.
The Amzer just barely wraps over the sides of front face of the screen, maybe 3/32". The bottom comes up about an eighth, and the top is cut out to clear the light sensor, speaker and front camera. I've not had issues at the edges, but I can't say if that's how I use it.
I don't think the Otterbox is in anyone's hands yet.

Alright, thanks for the info.
I am terrified of the sides being lose enough for anything to slide between them and my phone and cause my phone some damage.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUT8179c2lc - at ~1:20 you an see the sides of this case being crazy loose)
I was hoping someone that had an otterbox impact on a similar phone would have a comment on if the cases texture or fit was an issue.
Thanks again.

The Amzer isn't as thin. I've not had the pull-away issues, but then, I won't carry a glass phone in a pants pocket, either. I usually carry mine in my shirt pocket.

Looks like they're going for about eight bucks on eBay, including shipping.
Hi again,
I added grip tape (left over from a skateboard deck) to my current case...lol.
It serves its purpose very well, but looks awful.
I have a chance to get the Platinum Case (Best Buy) for $10.
Anyone have any comments on this one?
Does it go slippery or feel like it could slip out of your hands?
EDIT: I just bought the case. I read some good reviews on it... guess I'll see once it arrives.
I had this case on the HTC 8X in grey and it was easily one of the best cases I've ever had on any phone. The thinness, feel and texture was great.
As a first case for the HTC One I decided to buy this one but in black instead of grey to match with the light aluminum. It's a great case, it feels great, adds grip and the matte color is awesome. The grip and feeling on the back is superb. However, for that matte look, the black case texture/material is a little different than the one I had on the grey for the 8X.
It attracts finger prints and sweat or grease of your fingers. If it wasn't for this, this case would be perfect, at least for me.
If you don't live on a humid place or don't have have problems with finger prints, get this case by all means. Where I live it's almost 80%-95% humid all year so even if I don't have sweaty hands, it's inevitable that they get moist.
To sum up, it's a wonderful case, despite the problem with the smudges on the back. For that detail alone, it won't be for anyone as it would need to be cleaned two or three times a day to avoid the greasy/moist look on the back.
I do plan to get one in grey as the one I had on the 8X had an even better texture and feel and it didn't attract stains or finger prints at all. AT ALL. It was also a much of a darker grey that it showed on the pictures and I liked it even more when I got it.
For scratch protection, minimum bulk and great look and feel, this is a very good case.

I like the open top and bottom because it adds to the lightweight of the case and allows the natural aluminum color to be displayed prominently. The accessibility of the USB port and the power button is great because there is nothing around them.
This kind of case is only for scratch protection but that's the kind I'm always looking for.
I've also recently purchased this case in black. I LOVE the look of this case and one of the main features I like is that it still manages to maintain the ultra slim look and feel of the HTC One. This case really does fit well and doesn't detract from the stellar good looks of the phone.
One thing I do look for in these slim cases is that if the top edge of the case is slightly raised above the glass. That's a positive for me as I do not use screen protectors. With the top edge of the case raised just a hair it makes it easier to put my phone face down without worrying about scratching the glass. The Incipio Feather does have this very slight edge thankfully.
The only downside so far is that I've had to return my first case due to cracks. The two top corners of the case started to show stress cracks for some reason. In fairness they could have already been there as the first case I bought was already opened at the store and could have been a previous return. I didn't really check it that closely. It could have also been from me being a little aggressive taking the phone out of the case once to show somebody how slim it was. It fits really well so I may have forced it a little too hard.
The store did replace the case as it was previously opened and I checked the new one pretty carefully so no issues so far with the replacement. I'll post back here if any cracks appear again. Just in case you get one, be careful removing or installing the case and you should be fine. If you want the ultimate in good looks, decent grip and scratch protection then you won't go far wrong with this one. If you're one of those folks that likes the big armoured cases then this one isn't for you and nothing to see here.
This case will give you some basic protection while still maintaining the look and feel of the phone. And admit it, the look and feel of the HTC One is at least half or more of the reason you bought this awesome phone in the first place! Cheers!

How are you doing with the finger smudges on the back of this case? It's better than I initially thought but I still have to clean it often.

You can contact Incipio about this. The case comes with a one year warranty and I'm sure they'd be willing to cover that and replace it.:good:
I've bought a few cases for the One and this is definitely my favorite, all the rest I enjoyed but missed the slim line feel. The incipio is the best of both worlds.

Just ordered one of these.
I'm seeing a lot of reviews on Amazon with the lighter colored ones hazing up flash pictures. Seems to be a common thing with close cutouts for the LED. Black cases are going to be the best to avoid flash interference.
Got mine and yes it's definitely one of the most minmalist cases I've ever used. Be careful with this one as it doesn't afford much in the way of drop protection but you already knew that...
The lip over the screen is a bit shorter than I'd like, still need to be wary of setting it down screen down just in case.
However for those that prefer the naked feel but don't want to be paranoid of scratching the back when sitting on a table, you will like this!
Be wary the plastic cutout piece along the top where the volume rockers and usb charging port are quite thin and can break if stressed too hard when putting the case on and especially taking it off, just take you time and be gentle.
The black finish does show finger grease but is easily cleaned. The incipio dual is the same way. At least it doesn't scratch super easy like some of the smooth and glossy backs.
No case is perfect, that's why I have a drawer full of different cases!
I like the minimalist look, but does anyone know of any similar type 'snap on' cases that has a bigger lip over the corners/edges so that the screen is more protected?
My friend has this case in grey, and hers started peeling/chipping on the back after a few months of use. She contacted Incipio and they'll be sending her a new case which is good...
I picked up a case for my HTC One at best buy. It looks 100% identical except for the logo on the back of the case. Very nice case.

There is the Poetic Palette and Nillkin Hard Case/Shell. I can't say about the front lip for the screen as I don't own them but you can search for pictures and see if it is more prominent than the lip on the feather.
Looks nice and very slim!! :laugh:

Hey all. Ordered my Moto X :victory: but the ebony back is backordered until at least 2/11 So, at least I have time to figure out what accessories I want. Right now, I'm looking for an "unobtrusive" case/bumper.
With a really nice back, and custom accents, I don't want to cover either of them up. I was initially looking at bumpers so I can keep the back open (to show off the ebony) and the dimple exposed (because everyone seems to be obsessed with it). While there are plenty of those, they all seem to come with button covers. Why cover the buttons on a phone where the buttons have been customized?
Next, I figured I would look at some cases with clear backs. The only one I could find that was clear, and that left the dimple exposed, was the incase snap case (available on Motorola's site for too much damned money). On top of that, I know people with the case that don't like it (because it's too tight), or have read reviews indicating that the tightness ended up cracking the screen (an outlier, I'm sure).
I'd prefer to find a bumper with the buttons exposed. Failing that, I would like to find a case with a clear back, cutout for the dimple, and isn't ridiculously bulky and/or expensive. Any help would be appreciate, thanks.
I decided to go with a bumper for my Moto X and got this one: http://amzn.com/B00F2YEIXO
The downside to any bumper would be that it will cover the buttons, but the accent color around the camera will still be visible and the dimple will still be there.
This is the SUPCASE: http://amzn.com/B00E8GQHM2 It's similar to bumper but has a clear back and keeps the dimple
A few other cases I found:

Thanks. Yeah, I noticed that every single bumper has the buttons covered. I don't get that. I mean, they have cutouts for headphones, USB, SD card, etc. Why can't they leave a cutout for buttons? Doesn't make sense.
I was in your shoes back when I first got my moto x. I rejected the in case snap case for the same reason.
I ended up just using mine naked with a pouch. Still in perfect condition two months later. You will find that you can't beat the feel of a naked moto x. I am super protective and will put on a bumper if the situation calls for it though. So maybe going naked (at least situationally) is something you may want to consider although I know I never would have initially since I'm the protective type and it would kill me to see a scratch or crack on my phone.
I had a TPU case on mine for the longest time that had the buttons covered. I hated it because I couldn't always tell where the buttons were on the side.
I just received this new bumper case and so far I love it. EDIT: I just saw that someone already linked to it.
It does cover the buttons, but the way it is made, they are raised on the case and have a great feel when clicked. It does not cover the back at all. Also note that I have a zagg style protector on the back of the phone so I'm not worried about scratches on the back.
I have both the SupCase and this bumper (appears the same as the Amazon one and the other eBay one linked above) and I really like the cheapo bumper better than the SupCase. The button covers on the bumper actually have a better tactile feedback than the naked phone itself.
Can I ask why you don't want the buttons covered? Most of my cases on my Nexus 5 has the buttons exposed and I wasn't a fan of that (nor was I a fan of the cases with bad covers for the buttons - those suck too). IMHO, the cheap bumper I have has somehow managed to have a good implementation for the button covers! I'm not a huge fan of the SupCase's covers for the buttons.
Side note: The dimple on the wood backs aren't nearly as nice as the dimples on the plastic backs. It's much more subtle instead of being an obvious place to hold/balance/control your phone from. While it's there, it's not something to rave about. The dimple on the plastic backs, on the other hand, are nice. I'm a bit jealous, honestly. (I have an Ebony/black/black)

I like that the wood backed Moto X's have shallower/smoother dimple. I've held a "regular" black Moto X with the carbon back and I didn't like how the edges around the dimple felt. With the bamboo back I have, it's all smooth and my index fingers rests very nicely there.

Very fair opinion! I guess my point wasn't (or shouldn't have been) so much that it's worse but moreso that it is definitely sublte yet quite different.

Well, I gave it my best try to go naked, but just couldn't do it. I saw a video of a guy taking a knife to the Moto X screen and not leaving any marks, so I decided to forgo my usual policy of slapping a Zagg InvisibleShield on everything. But, I forgot how "smudgy" these screens get without a protector. So, I just ordered a Ghost Glass tempered screen protector http://mimeusa.com/product/moto-x-ghost-glass-screen-protector/ I never tried tempered glass before (didn't even know it existed), but it sounds interesting.
The ebony wood back is also getting all fingerprinted-up, which was making me twitch. I found some good feedback in various posts on the Power Suppor Air Jacket Clear (not the Grip) http://www.powersupportintl.com/Air-Jacket-Clear-for-Moto-X-p/mmtx-71.htm It's supposed to be much better than the Incase Snap Case.

I have both the SupCase and this bumper (appears the same as the Amazon one and the other eBay one linked above) and I really like the cheapo bumper better than the SupCase. The button covers on the bumper actually have a better tactile feedback than the naked phone itself.
Can I ask why you don't want the buttons covered? Most of my cases on my Nexus 5 has the buttons exposed and I wasn't a fan of that (nor was I a fan of the cases with bad covers for the buttons - those suck too). IMHO, the cheap bumper I have has somehow managed to have a good implementation for the button covers! I'm not a huge fan of the SupCase's covers for the buttons.
Side note: The dimple on the wood backs aren't nearly as nice as the dimples on the plastic backs. It's much more subtle instead of being an obvious place to hold/balance/control your phone from. While it's there, it's not something to rave about. The dimple on the plastic backs, on the other hand, are nice. I'm a bit jealous, honestly. (I have an Ebony/black/black)

I just wanted to keep my customized buttons exposed. I mean, why pay all this money for a customized phone and cover it up?
I bought the first one posted with the weird tab on it. although the buttons are covered, they are highly functional. I do agree that if you customized the accents / buttons you want to show them off, should be easy to cut the button covers out with an xacto knife (done this before on several TPU cases)
good luck!

Do NOT cut the button covers, I've tried that and found that can NOT reach the buttons with my finger. The bumper is too thick. Lucky I bought 2 bumpers so I have another one to use.

you can cut the buttons out, but you have to cut them to match the curve of your finger, meaning that they would need to look like this
) for the left side and ( for the right side.
I just need something like this, but not with half assed cutting.
Can someone tell us more about this case? Does the case cover buttons? Are buttons easy to press? Is it thick or easy to grip? Can some one upload some pix showing cutouts?
Thanks
I couldn't get a good read on this case, which is specifically why I didn't go with it. That and the high price point. $20 is a lot of money for a one-piece case, but about right for a two-piece case.
By my assessment and my knowledge of phone cases, here's what I'd expect from the ADOPTED case:
1) raised covers over the buttons.
2) button cover and inside surface made of TPU or similar mid-density flexible plastic.
3) outer surface made of either TPU (my suspicion), or made of a harder plastic. If 2 materials, then permanently affixed. Otherwise, 1 material, just one piece.
Presently, I'm suggesting the Lightning Knight Armor Defender case which goes for about $8 on Amazon. It is a two-piece design, with an inner sleeve made of silicone, and an outer polycarbonate shell. It's not the best design in terms of fit and finish. However, we're still very early into the N5X's accessory availability. A better design will come out. May as well get something decent enough for the moment, and switch to something nicer later.
Ive got the adopted case, because My spigen thin case was impeding on the microphone functioning. The adopted case has a really nice feel to it. The back is a smooth but not too slippery flexible material. The sides have a fine or to mid fine grain to them, but feels really good in the hand. The case through one five minute phone call did not impede any hearing or speaking functions. Overall I am very happy with it.

Loving ADOPTED So Far.
I've provided some photos. In the hand, it doesn't get annoying. My worry is with the clear frost option though. I feel it might be discoloring over time. :-/ It is slightly stubborn to remove, but that's a good thing when dropped. Easy to put on though. Brilliant start. I'll look for other cases but this one will always satisfy me.
you guys are the best! Thanks for all the info and pictures. I think this case looks good and you guys say it feels good in hand and is not slippery. I wanted something simple and this might do the trick.
How does it compare with one of the bugdroid cases, if anyone has had both? I'm sure they both fit perfectly but am looking for the one that adds the least bulk! ? The phone is just right width-wise without a case but it's just too slippery to hold, I'm sure I'll drop it so a TPU case is a must I think... ?
Thanks!
I had the clear frost one first but I didn't end up liking it. FYI my 5x is the black one. Ended up ordering the black case and returning the clear one. The case is nice. Materials feel nice in the hand and is pretty grippy. The edges go over the front a good amount for protection and the side buttons are comfortable and easy to use. The back is smooth while the edges around the phone has a slight texture to it for a more grippy feel. The case fits on very securely.

Cheeto, thanks for great pix. I just ordered the same black case for my phone.
I have this case and like it pretty well except for one thing: the part that wraps around to the front is too wide. I find it difficult to swipe from the edges successfully without pushing it out slightly with my thumb. Very annoying. I've currently got two other cases on their way and hopefully I'll like one of them better. I've never had this issue with any other case on any other phone, and when I look at the design of my old cases, I see that they all have a beveled edge on the front and they keep it as thin as possible, unlike the Adopted case.

So how did the two cases fair out against the adopted? The thickness and stuff.
I have this case and while I didn't love it at first I've come to really like it. Its thicker and more protective than most of the regular tpu cases but yet doesn't add too much bulk.

Just wondering if anyone has any feedback on the fabric cases available on the google store ? Do they collect lint or dust ? unlike a plastic case do they grip to your pockets when reaching for your phone ?
The fabric cases have a little bit of friction but not enough that it catches or makes it difficult to slide in/out of pockets. When you look at the oils and fingerprints on other cases just remember that your fabric case is actually absorbing most of that. Just because you can't see oil, dust, and dirt that it doesn't mean it's not there. I'd recommend that once a week you do the following:
Take the case off the phone (this should be assumed, but I don't know you)
Run the case under a warm water faucet until it looks and feels like it's saturated
Lather up some hand soap on your hands and then rub into the case for about a minute
Wash off the case (and your hands) for another minute rubbing on the case to make sure you're pushing the soap out
Let the case air dry for a few hours or use the low setting on a hair dryer (your hands are ok to dry using a towel or paper towel)
Is protection any good (edges, corners and front lip)? I always had SPECK cases but this year, they do not seem to come up with any Pixel 5 cases. I need a case that both looks good and adds some reasons protection against drops without adding too much bulk like the UA cases do.
Also, I am a little concerned that the fabric cases will stand the test of time. Any experiences?
I read that the case comes with a raised front "lip" to protect the display and IIRC, fabric cases for older models did not have this. Was the built updated?
I got a Google fabric case for my 3xl. Phone falls and hits right on the bottom edge where there is no protection.!
Screen cracks right at that spot. No problem, call Google - they denied my claim for a new screen! Said the case wasn't designed to protect the phone!
Screw Google and thier cases. I've dropped my 4XL many times with the UAG and or Spigen clear case on it and never had any damage!

This is why I always try to go with the most grippy case.
The fabric case is one of the most slippery cases with dry hands. You just open you hand and your phone slips off like a flying bomb.
I've been using Spigen Thin Fit in black colour and it's a bit more grippy than a classic TPU.
However mate silicone rubber cases are probably even more grippy.

I bought one of these for my 3xl, it broke the first time my phone fell from my desk.

The protection is NOT very good and as someone else noted here, even google seems unwilling to honor claims if you have the device in the case and it falls and breaks.
I've had this case for two days. My first Google fabric case. I don't find it slippery and yes, it's easy to put in pocket and take out. I am concerned about the exposed bottom though. It would really have to land in a weird way to hit it though. I'm ordering a cheap tpu case as well however.
It does look real good. I have the blue version.
I got the case 3 days ago, so far I like it, like already mentioned the bottom being open is a worry but the case is very nice. I had a Spigen thin clear one for 5 days but it was a bit too bulky.
Given that this listing has now popped up, aos tv for pc the timeframe fits with what the audio acoustics firm turned into capable of share prior to this discovery. However, we are aware and might verify that the existing T-four hundred Comply Foam Tips are compatible with Pixel Buds. That stated, the larger sizes can cause troubles with the Pixel Buds case, as we have explained previously. A committed earbud tip for Google’s first clearly wi-fi earbuds is probably a warm price tag in that regard.
The fabric WILL get dirty and discolor in a few weeks. It looks good initially but wont when the fabric darkens from oils.
The case doesn't feel the most secure on the phone, like if it's dropped I feel the phone would pop out of the case. The case doesnt "snap" onto the phone with a lip around the front class.
The case doesn't allow for the phone to sit nicely on the Pixel stand (wireless charger). THIS is a shame, you have to balance the case/phone for it to stand straight
This is not my experience at all. The case is very tight and very secure. It is the first case that won't even allow a skin underneath it without tearing it up because it is so snug and the case wraps around to the front catching the edge of any skin. It doesnt cover the bottom of the phone which could be a negative for some.
I also have the lightest 'static grey' colour. I used the case every day with dark coloured and unwashed denim. It picked up a little oil on the outer edges from pocket friction after a month. Quick wash under the tap and it was back to brand new.

I agree, I've had this case for over a month now and it doesn't feel like it will come off the phone at all. Haven't dropped the phone yet to test it out though. Also while I use the phone a ton, I haven't felt a need to wash mine yet, but of course YMMV depending upon your environment, if you use the phone while you eat, etc...
I just got the Speck grip case too only because I was worried about the open part of Fabric case on the bottom, but nothing else. I really dig the way the Fabric case looks much more. The orange button and orange google logo on the back make it easier to find in darkness too.

This is not true. Do you really own this case or just posting your thoughts?
1. It won't get dirty in regular conditions for 99% of the ppl, of course if you work at oil refinery it would. It's easy to wash it with a soft sponge and dish washing liquid - takes 5mins. I owned two fabric cases for p3xl for 2years, now I have it for p5, and it's not dirty at all after 1.5mo. No signs of discolor, do not wash with bleaching substances and do not put in contact with aggressive chemicals. That's it.
2. It doesn't pop out when the phone falls - checked by myself unintentionally. It has a quite good leap from 3 sides, so the phone screen is quite protected. Of course it's not an Otterbox case, but I prefer good aesthetic over bulkiness with a grenade-blast-protection.
My only concern would be that the G logo has peeled off a little - p3xl cases were definitely better with that. But I fixed it with glue and a pin in 5mins
Sorry for my bad English.
Cheers

I do own and use this case.. I also owned it for each pixel model I've owned.
After a few weeks it showed discoloration from oils/grease on my hands and dirt from surfaces. I have cleaned the orange case before but the color never truly returns to that from when its brand new.
Plus in a time right now, this sort of case is a nesting ground for germs and not as easily cleanable
I use Google's green chameleon fabric case for my Pixel 5 sorta sage and I'm satisfied. Non slippery at all. The only problem is that if you put tempered glass the lips of the case is on the same height with the glass. Also using Spigen's Ultra hybrid. Very nice one too!
On my Pixel 4XL I have all the fabric cases except the blueish one. I like them so much.

Covid can't live on a porous surface like this. Most viruses can't. Non-issue.
I love the fabric cases.
Hey guys, Target has a $31 sale on some cases.
and B&HPhotos is having a bigger one, 21 for one color
I decided to get a google fabric case, and found a brand new one on ebay for £15 which i thought was a bargain, was the slate grey version. Have to say i love it, definetly feels premium and its been the best case i have bought.
Looks great, feels great. Recommend it.
