What do you think guys?

That's the nicest case I've seen yet

This one looks pretty nice for the price. http://www.7gadgets.com/2011/03/24/...or-the-motorola-xoom-google-android-3-0/33309 it says its 8.99 but the link brings you to Amazon and its 14.99 the way it props up doesn't look as sturdy as the one you posted but it is much cheaper.

Interested in this one...
I want to see the reviews of this roll in. Getting my XOOM tomorrow, I will need something like this. but for 50 bills it needs to be perfect.

I actually bought one from him on eBay. By far worth the money. Doesn't stretch out or anything. I'm very happy with it.
Even though I have a screen protector, I wanted something that would cover the front, and this has two small magnets that keep it closed.
Again, worth it.

great find. ordering now.

Case discussion...
A few folks over on the Motorola Owner's Forums Xoom discussions are liking the KeviKev case... and a few others. It may be worth your while to go check out those threads too before buying!

Does it keep a good grip does the xoom haze a chance to fall out? Port for charging while closed?

The navitech photos still show no cutouts for the ports or for the camera and sensors... :-( hopefully kevikev will come up with something better!

From the pics it does look like there is a cutout for the front camera(I noticed they updated the pics of it)
about the cutouts for the ports. There are only a couple folio cases on the market that have the cutouts for the ports. I've seen videos of people using an exacto knife to cut out a hole for the ports.. Let's just say I'd much rather do that to a case that cost 15 bucks then one that's 50 hahah
I just ordered the navitech case until there is more of a selection to choose from. This one is by far my favorite but really cant think about spending $129 on a case even if it's the best looking one at this point

It does look better than the images they have on the site, that's for sure. How do you like it? Does it fit it well? How much bulk does it add?

Can you post pics of it folded over flat (not propped up)? I'm interested in how thick it is when open and top cover folded back.

Just ordered a tpu case, anybody have one?

I got a clear S line case from Amazon. I'd like to know your opinions on them.

I have pretty much the same one. Mine just says "JKase." It's a good case. Looks cool, adds good grip, and it's more like soft plastic than silicon. Doesn't add a ton of protection, but it keeps the back safe from basic stuff. I'd recommend it. Better than carrying an OtterBox brick around.

I have an unnamed 1. Fits perfectly. Easy access to everything. Makes the volume & power buttons easier to press but less tactile. Can still be used with a Kidigi docking station without having to remove the case. Also stops the phone from slipping when propping it up on shiny surfaces.

I also bought the JKase one (clear). It saved me from a face down fall on wood the other day. Anyone know where I can get a nice smoke transparent case?

Gotta find a transparent one. I love seeing the VM and Beats logos, but the clear one is a little... I can't put my finger on it. Almost feels childish.

I know what you mean. I've only had mine for 2 weeks, and it's turning yellow.

i'm using a tpu hybrid case, sides of the case are tpu and the back of the case is a hard plastic, overall it's pretty good. But because the back is solid plastic it slides around on a hard surface.

I got my TigerBox from Amazon.co.uk for £1.99. Transparent soft/hard case hybrid (reduced from £20) and its great. Buttons are a lot easier to press down on, even the notification light is accessible. I'd recommend one.

Got mine off of ebay for $1. Has lasted a long time with no signs of wear. Definitely happy with this ultra-cheap purchase

These are the same as the one I ordered on ebay. Mine was a smokey grey color, with access to all buttons and the LED notification light was bright enough to shine through the gel case with ease.
Highly recommended style of case for the HOV ^_^

I have a purple JKase and it adds grip and has protected my phone quite well from a number of falls.
I also purchased a much bigger case with a kick-stand and this one however has an even better grip (probably because it doubles the phone's thickness and adds significantly to all its other dimensions.

Bear Motion Cases

Anyone have any experience with Bear Motion cases? I hadn't heard of them before...
Amazon Link

I got the blue one a few days ago.
It's a really good case, as good as the Incipio feather cases. The texture on it is very grippy, the only thing it's missing is a hole for the dimple.

Looks nice...but first thing I noticed was missing dimple

I've got one showing up today, I can't wait to get it on there. This thing is just too slick on it's own and for under $5 you can't go wrong.

Yup, that's it. I would say the blue looks darker than the amazon pic in real life.

They are OK. One I had for the HTC One just cracked one day. cheap but feel decent.

what kind of material is the case? Is it a hard or soft plastic? TPU?

Does the dimple really matter? I have never put my finger on the famous dimple when holding my phone.

i have the unbranded one. it's pretty much perfect.

I bought the wife a Bear Motion Premium Double Protection PC + TPU Case from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EC2QKYC/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 the rubber seems a little thin but over all great performance in the first week.

Looks similar but yours is only the plastic part? Mine was two pieces. One rubber and one plastic.

just got mine in yesterday.
WOW! i love it. hardly feels like i have a case on this phone. really does a great job at retaining the slim factor of the phone. why can't they make more cases like these??

Nice! But...
I purchased 3 of the Bear Motion cases. Black, gray and blue. I really love the sleekness of the case but I wish they would have more of a lip on the screen side.
The other problem that I see is that the upper right hand corner could have a better fit. The blue case that I received will eventually "pop" out of that corner.

Moto G Official Flip Shell review

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.

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

Top quality Moto G 2013 shell

Hey.
I'm looking for colored (red / royal blue / turquoise) moto g shell that is covered with rubber layer like in black "stock" version.
I've heard that there are some produced with this method but so far I have bought 5 (most of them sent back to seller) that were just a plastic - slippery shells which is really annoying to use as it slips down whenever I use it or it's easy to slip off hand while taking off from pocket. I'm 100% sure that black version is covered with rubber layer as it weared on corners exposing plastic on my moto g.
Anyone found seller that is selling this "updated" version of shells ?

cool

No, he's talking about regular back shell. The black one have some kind of matte finish, which other color don't have.
