Ordered a moto X this week (Navy back, white front and silver case...can't find a transparent hard case that shows the back...all cases so far seem to be opaque. The diztronic one has a matte finish..Any pointers?

You could try this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Minisuit-Ultr...=1386219791&sr=8-5&keywords=moto+x+clear+case
It was $4 a couple days ago
I can't personally speak for that one, but I can for these:
http://www.amazon.com/Cruzerlite-Bu...=1387406862&sr=8-1&keywords=cruzerlite+moto+x
http://www.amazon.com/Cruzerlite-Ex...=1387406862&sr=8-7&keywords=cruzerlite+moto+x
Only the symbols/lines and sides are completely transparent, but I thought they looked nice with the custom backs. They are also very snug and solid. So tight, in fact, that you need to be very careful putting it on if you have a screen protector.
Also, it's B2G1 on those.

Power support ones are very nice... Both the hybrid fusion style one and the hard shell. Love their screen protectors too. Worth the money for a good case.

Air Jacket is clean and shows off the back and our corporate logo perfect.
Good protection have dropped 2 times both glass 1st and back 1st no damage.
Plus the side case edge matched the Moto X choice great for the buttons and camera ring.
You can feel the dimple on the phone as that part of the case is open.
Power Supply was a little slow to respond on questions on there FB page but very happy with the product!

I bought one from Ebay and it is okay. The price was less than $5. Since I am a new member, I can't post outside links but it is called " Moto X Clear Slim TPU".
I decided not to use a case on mine. I am using a pouch and I'll use the bumper on occasion. My ideal case is a matte bumper with clear button covers.
SUPCASE
I just bought a SUPCASE and love it for the extra protection over my Bear Motion one. Both on Amazon. The SUPCASE has a clear back with black edges. Perfect for showing off the Moto X Dev Ed Black with White back if you ask me.

Bad decision, got this case..installed it...but it seemed to have an odd effect on google now...ie the response was poor..so tried taking the case man...it was so painful...
I received my power supply air jacket case today. I like it a lot. The fit is perfect. I wish the back were more grippy, but the edges are just grippy enough.

There are at least 5-10 on eBay that are hard clear cases. I bought two different ones for $3 each. Look harder!

Recently picked up two different Cruzer Lite Argyle Pattern TPU cases...here's what I think:
This applies to both the Clear Argyle & Smoke Argyle Cases.
Please note, I'm NOT affiliated with the maker of these cases...just LOVE a good TPU Case!
1. It fits perfectly- nice and snug. Cutouts are just right. Easy to put on / take off. No "give" doesn't feel like it'll get loose on ya.
2. The volume buttons covered with two overlays, defining the buttons nicely. A little stiff at first, but seems to be softening a little over a few days.
3. Not overly slick. Easy to put in your pocket / remove. Seems to have enough friction to prevent dropping. Some of these TPU cases are like holding a wet fish, while your hands are covered in baby oil. This one's just fine.
4. Lightweight - doesn't add any real bulk...most TPU cases don't. Having such a slim, lightweight phone is something to show off...this doesn't detract from that.
5. Great packaging - most of these type of TPU cases just come shipped to you in a plastic baggie. This had said plastic baggie, with another layer of protection inside that...plus a cardboard cutout. (it's the little things that impress)
6. I love that the SGSII logo can be seen through the argyle pattern. This and the darker of the two cases allow for this. I like it!
7. The argyle pattern itself is sharp...I feel it adds to the classy image of this phone.
I'll say in summation, that I've had an overall pleasant experience with this TPU case...and the Owner that sent it to me. Seems like decent Customer Service in my interactions. Of course, in all honesty a TPU case doesn't offer as much protection as an OtterBox...but overall it serves it's purpose!

I like this case too. I posted a few pictures in another thread.
I didn't like how the volume rocker cover felt so I ended up using the cardboard mod that other people were using with the other TPU cases. I might consider removing that mod because I'm afraid it might damage the buttons in the long run.
I really like these as well. Looks like the smoke argyles are sold out at amazon and I cant find them on ebay. anyone know where these are in stock right now?
They will be stock in about a week. I will have nine colors total.

I love the cases, but the volume buttons are really tough. Def. need to do the piece of thick paper hack to them

This case is back in stock plus 7 other colors
I just got a clear one and a blue one from eBay. 4.99 each and free shipping. There were on my phone in 2 days. My volume buttons are easy to click. Somewhat easier than no case. It gives it more of a clicky feel. ( if that's a word?)

What color did you get?
Ordered the clear argyle case, just arrived today. The case fits like a glove, the only thing is that the argyle design is scratched and faded around the corners. Maybe I'm just being finicky. But I can't really argue with the price. Leaps and bounds better than the silicon case I had, oh and it's lighter too.
The way the cases are molded sometimes small defects can be found on the corners. I am glad to hear you like the case.
Other than those minor problems, I love this case. The case seems good enough to give me peace of mind while handling my phone.
Currently using the Aegis on my T989 and love the protection - But it does add a ton on bulk to the phone, making in/out of jeans and other pockets damn near impossible - Any suggestions on a case that offers similar protection in a slimmer profile?
Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=320938021379
Looks pretty legit and slimmer but idk body gloves usually aren't that big lol
Sent from my phone to your face!
I have the Incipio Samsung Galaxy S2 Silicrylic Case.
It's pretty good in my opinion. For it being silicone and a hard polycarbonate shell it's not too bulky at all.
Easy to grip in-hand and it's easy to get out of my pockets.
Hope either of our posts helped you find a great case for this amazing device!
Ballistic case.
T-Mobile D30. Great little case IMO.
Ordered these 4 cases off Ebay this week to try out.

This one looks to be a Ballistic SG ripoff but the price was right:
You can see that it does not drop down on the top like the SG
and this one that looks like it could be near CyaN1de proof. (I'm a bit hard on my gadgets)

Go with the body glove case. It's slim and looks incredible while providing excellent protection. I can't even count the number of times I've dropped my phone but it doesn't matter because this case works really well. Anything thicker is overkill.

His GS2 is not white. It's black. He just has a white sticker on the front. The earpiece grill at the top is a dead giveaway. On the white one it is silver. I used to have the same sticker on mine but got sick of it.
Yeah, it's a white decal from decalgirl. I kind of like the two tone black and white look. Plus it hides the ugly samsung and tmobile branding so it looks cleaner.
The only downside is that it is raised from the screen so wiping oil is a little more difficult

I have been using the Ballistic SG almost exclusively since receiving the cases. The biggest bulk is obviously the bumper corners but really protects the phone when it manages to slip out of my hand.
I ended up picking up a Body Glove case when I was in the US and really liked it other than the fact that it would cause my screen protector to bubble in the corner.
I only tried the mesh backed case for a few minutes to check fitment so I can not say too much about it other than it does look really nice on the phone.

I concur!
I was looking for a anti-fingerprint screen protector and i stumbled upon this case, it looks amazing, not sure if anyone has this one already and can give us a quick review, its called Nillkin.
Here is the link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Newest-HT...rd-Shell-Cover-Screen-Protector-/370808049120
Im going to order one and give you guys a quick review, it ship almost everywhere around the world, free and fast delivery in the UK and its only £8.00, very reasonable, it also comes with a screen protector so it might be worthy.
Looking forward to some feedback.
here are some photos.
Edit: just placed my order, might get it by mid week next week since its already weekend. will give some review once i got it

I have them all. I also have the Nillkin fold cases like the galaxy case. They are top notch cases, you cant go wrong with nillkin. Probably my favorite case maker.
I bought the white one but have since decided to sell it away because I've finally decided to use my HTC One with a pouch instead of hiding its beauty behind a cover =)

Well, I guess we just have different preferences :laugh:
I've got one in black and its an awesome case, i'd say a better fit and more durable than the casemate cases too.
Two questions before I buy this case:
1) Is there a cut out for the power button or is there an actual button on the case for it?
2) Do these hard shells not damage the phone at all?
Absolutely love this case. Almost looks like the phone was made that way. Doesn't offer the best protection, but if you just care about protecting the back, this is of the best and best looking.

1. its a cut out, look at the ebay post to see more photos
2. i THINK these are high quality plastic, it should not damage the phone
I too have a white nillkin case and their grey flip.
Only problem with the flip is the case is too close to the headphone port, so I have a kld oscar 2 on back order to fix this.
Plus I love the black monolith look, reminds me of the film 2002 a space odyssey.

They fit nicely, I have one but they are not TPU or something like that, meaning if you should ever drop it, the hit would transfer directly to the phone instead of be being distribute thorough out the case

To me all that says is there is a screen protector glued in like the Tudia case. I could be just over looking the info though.
that case is hideous!
They need to make an Atomosphere case, STAT

Yep, sorry! I saw a guy asking on instagram if it was waterproof, and they said it's water resistant. Guess it's not the same concept
I like it, it reminds me of the cases that UAG make.
Looks ugly. I wish we had more choices. I just got a tudia omnix and its okay. Buttons suck.

I plan removing their screen protector, mine is better and enough
I can hardly wait for mine to get here !
So I can set it on fire and put this case out of it's misery.
Did anyone bought it? waiting for the review
I quite like the robust look of this case but would prefer the case without the screen protector part as I already have a tempered glass one on. Does anyone know if you can use it without the built in screen protector part?

Yep thats a nice one too, it reminds me of the spigen slim armour clone case I had for my galaxy S4. Had about 5 or 6 cases for my S4 and it was probably the best of them all, really solid and provided great protection. It was a spigen copy also so it was only a few quid.
I've had the Poetic Revolution for a day now and after one charge the USB plug doesn't hold in place any more ....... after one charge!
I wish that I hadn't thrown money away for this case.

I agree.... I bought this case also and I could not get my volume buttons to work. I had to actually modify the volume buttons so they would work and I removed the USB flap cover so it would not bend my USB cable while connected to my One.
It is a very nice durable case however I dont like that I had to modify it to use it.
I have had this case for a while, the screen protector is water resistant but it isn't that high quality so I keep missing touches. Also, I can't reach the sides of the screen with my big fingers. It has protected my phone from multiple falls however, and it feels really solid but it does add heft
So, I was looking for a new skin on my phone when I realized that I didn't want to do a wrap. If you're like me, you'll spend $10 and then remove the skin in like a week. After that you'll have to buy another one if you want to go through the process again. I'm not 100% into cases because of bulk and this is a damn sexy phone.
I scoured a few different places looking for a white thin case when I came across this: ELAGO THIN CASE
Here are my pros:
Fit is perfect
Cut outs are exact
This actually feels like it could be part of the phone
Has a Matte White look
Not TPU, its a hard plastic
Lots of compliments just in one day
Cons (Keep in mind, these are things people may not like but doesn't bother me)
Phone is still a little slippery
Buttons are now a bit more flush with the case
Zero lip over the glass to put upside down
The cut outs are exact so accessories are about 1mm from being perfect
I'm going back for the other two colors. This is an awesome case. Does anyone else have any ultra thin cases they can recommend.

Is there a promo code for that one? Kinda high in price.
got this today, it's going back. I have a skin on my phone, the case went on with ease on top of that and was still not snug
I got the Anccer in gravel black:

Preserves "caseless" feel, super grippy.
Do not spend 10 USD for just re-branded case.
Buy the exact same one just for 4USD.

That's this one too. Same reason why I like it.

Good call.
Edit: Just went to the link. I just don't like AliExpress. I had problems with them in the past. 20-39 days for a case when I can get it in 2 days from Amazon, meh... I'll pay the difference.

Really? That's a bummer. Mine fits perfect and has no movement. I don't have any sort of skin. I wonder if that's throwing off the fit.

It looks just as good in person.
Needs a top and bottom lip. Put your phone face down and it will scratch.

Nope. User a screen protector.. Cases with lips exist. This is for absolute minimalists.
Just went to the mailbox to get the Elago case I ordered after seeing this thread. I'm coming from the Spigen Slim case and, even by comparison, the Elago is ridiculously thin! I love it, but it definitely needs to be paired with a screen protector in order to keep the phone somewhat safe.
It is probably not nearly as thin as that case, but I usually buy Ringke Fusion cases for every phone I get. I love the way it adds the extra tactile feel to the buttons, and has saved me from many drops even on asphalt and hard concrete. I'm not sure how it is on the S8+ yet as my S8+ is not here yet. but I've used Ringke Fusion cases on OP3T, Nexus 6P, Nexus 6, Xperia Z3, and I have loved it on every phone.

Not even close.
Just a heads up. The Elago scratches and scuffs pretty easily. Not that I expected much from such an inexpensive case but, I've been babying my black Elago and, within 24 hours it already has 4 or 5 long scuff marks across the back. Not a big deal, just thought I'd mention. It would've been nice if they had used the same type of rubberized finish found on the Spigen and Ringke slim cases.

Who sets their phone with the screen down?
