Hey,
So I am looking for a thin type of silicon case (I have seen many out there), but I am trying to find one that is specifically made to be ultra-grippy. I have tried a few cases in Verizon's retail location and they feel sort of slick and not that much more grippy compared to the phone itself. Does anyone have any suggestions on something that sounds like what I am talking about?
To be clear: I am not looking for a hard case, something soft and light that doesn't add a lot of thickness to the phone, but still has that grip advantage.
Thanks!

Hi,
I just received my HTC ONE in the mail yesterday and before I go and take the phone out for a night on the town I'd like to get
a case to protect it as best as I could. Unfortunately I'm coming from the HTC HD2 which doesn't have a lot of great cases out
for it so I'm pretty uch at a loss for what I'm looking at. Below are several possibilities of the cases. If anyone has bought any
of the below cases please share your experience. Thanks in advance.

I also seen several other threads about cases and was reading what I could about them but it was so all over the place and a lot
of the cases I have listed was not listed in the thread yet. I know some are generic but I don't mind that as long as it protects
as it should. I also plan to purchase a clear-coat screen protector so that my phone will be covered up quite well.
(I know this might be overkill but coming from someone how has broken a HTC HD2 that has gorilla class I rather be safe then sorry)
Good afternoon bump

Don't have any answers as I don't get my One until the 1st, but I have been stalking the case threads trying to make up my mind. Your list shows options I didn't know existed and makes it even more complicated for me. All of those are in the big and bulky variety that would seem to protect well while totally obscuring the beauty of the phone. Tough decision. Some of them look very cool.
One thing to watch out for is any case that covers the power button will block the infrared blaster used by the remote.
Do you have any favorite you are leaning towards?
You know being honest I was thinking of buying a couple of the generic brand that way I could change up every once in awhile. I want something that'll protect it if it gets dropped but at the same time not bulk it up so much. I know that's a bit of a contradiction. Lol.. I had a Trident case on my Mytouch 4g slide and it protected it quite well but added a lot of extra bulk. That's why I way thinking a off brand might be bulky but maybe they wouldn't use as much material as a name brand, who knows though.

Bump.
I don't want this getting lost in the clutter her on XDA. There are a lot of nice cases I posted and would love any personal info about any of them.

IMO, case-mate tough case and the otterbox defender/commuter series are pretty tough.
All those cases look pretty tough too. You want to be looking at something with a hard shell and a soft shell (inside or outer). The main weakness of a lot of cases imo is the fact that the screen pokes out. If the case has a cover (ie; wallet types or like the defender) or a lot of overall cover that it lifts the phone above the screen, it'll do. The rest of it is aesthetics.
That's a good point that I didn't really think about. I was thinking of getting a clear-coat screen protector for the from screen then the rest keep in a nice case. All of the ones I been leaning towards are the kind with the 2 part design. Some even have 3 part but that really just means it will come with a belt clip, or so it seems. Some of these generic cases look like they would protect so nice that I might buy at least 1 just to tell how well they're built. I mean at $8-$10 the worst thing that could happen is I don't like it. I think what I'm getting at is I'm trying to just talk myself into buying something that's generic since I've always bought oem or high end cases thus far. I'll report back when I have a case in hand.
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.

I bought the casemate naked clear and its very thin. It has a clear bumper and then a hard plastic case that goes around it.

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.

I don't know why it's been so hard for me to find a case that has almost otterbox-like quality for the Nexus 5, but it has proven to be just that. I was hoping when I first found out OtterBox didn't make one maybe I could find a Trident Kraken case for it, but also this led to a dead end. I wound up finding and buying an I-Blason, but I'm not satisfied. The belt clip makes it so hard and inconvenient to take the phone out when It is clipped to your belt and the one that had a belt clip didn't have a built in screen protector so I bought the one they suggested for the case which again I could not use, because when I went to place it on my device I found that after I removed the back so I could use it there was so small white lint or something stuff to the screen that I knew would bother me, but I decided to see if it was just my imagination, but alas it was not they are clearly visible, along with the rainbow looking bubbles I could not seem to get rid of on the screen.
So if anyone has had better luck finding a case for this phone please let me know, like I said I prefer one with a belt clip and built in screen protector, but apparently this is just something no one seems to want to make. I'm seriously considering just giving up and waiting to see if any good companies release a case of this quality for the Nexus 6 and just wait till then. :/
Thanks in Advance,

Check out the Ballistic SG Maxx. It's probably my favorite case. Here's a review I wrote on it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...allistic-sg-maxx-review-t2665821/post50717790
Good day, I just received my OP7Pro. It does come with a clear case which is nice to show off the Nebula color. But at the same time, I picked up their Bumper Case. They also had a 'protective' case which I skipped in favor of their own Bumper case. But, to those who may have seen all three - which one offers the best protection? Or is it better to get an after market case? I only ask as the Clear case included seems like the same protection as the Bumper case and it is clear. But I could be wrong with shock absorbance qualities to the bumper case. Your opinions are greatly appreciated.

I do not see another thread related to the OnePlus cases and their protective coverages. However, I do admit I could be blind. So if you could post a link I would appreciate it.
