Does anyone know of a case that would give the phone a flat back, in other words when you set it down it doesn't rock back and forth?
Thanks in advance.

[Not trying to be a sarcastic ass] Your Moto X rocks on its own when it's sat on a surface? It only rocks when I specifically press on the left or right side of the screen.
I'm trying to avoid having it rock when I press it. It impacts typing in some cases when it's on a flat surface.

Ah. I have not seen any that are flat back. You might try an Otterbox or a thicker TPU or silicon case. My thought is that if the case is thick enough, it will lose the curve.
i feel like it would not be to easy to make a case that would make the back flat. the company would have to find a way to fill the inside of the case on the sides and leave the middle thinner. idk, but i also wouldnt mind finding one... with a dimple of course
Urban Armor Gear made one for my friends HTC One which also had a curved back, so it couldn't be that hard. Unfortunately UAG doesn't make any cases for moto phones.

here's one with a flat back: http://www.wirelessground.com/motorola-moto-x-shell-holster-combo-black.html you can type in the coupon "youtube" for 1 dollar off lol. it's only 9 bucks
Yep, all these phones with curved backs drive me crazy. That's one thing the iPhone has going for it.

You must be incredibly ham fisted. My phone barely moves when I type on if it's sitting on a flat surface. I never use it that way but I wanted to try and see what the supposed fuss was...

+1 i'm loving the curved back.
check out the supcase. the back is curved, but there are 2 "wings" on the back that make it sit flat on a hard surface

My supcase didn't sit flat at all. In fact, it's super easy to spin your phone when it's sitting on a table, if you're into that sort of thing.

My supcase just got in and it prevents the left to right rocking in portrait which was what I was looking for mainly.
As for phone spin, I've never seen a model phone do it so well on its own. It's perfectly balanced around the lower dot on the active display.

No 'real' use' feedback but i notice its flush with the phone so it wont offer that little bit of screen protection you sometimes get. Just a thought.
I have 2. Its not flush.. it sticks up a *slight* bit and my screen doesn't touch when I place it face down on my desk. This case IMHO is the best that's out there. No its not bullet and water proof but its sexy and slim, perfectly fitting and a very high end feel. I have the white and black and both are great.

I bought it when i first ordered my note and have had it on since (as well as bought one for the gal friend). It's freaking awesome, would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Own one as well and very very satisfied with my purchase.
Owned an SGP ultra thin prior and I prefer the Elago over it, due to its better fittment and less flashy look.
so I managed to drop my phone on the sidewalk with this case on. As luck would have it, it fell upright, bottom down first and made contact right at the part where the case ends and the phone begins. Even though the case took a majority of the hit, there is a dent on the phone's frame itself. Not the result I was hoping for.
On the flip side, I have also dropped it face down and there wasn't a scratch on the screen.
Bottom line, if you're looking for all around protection, it may not be your best choice. Maybe getting one of the aluminum bumpers could be the way to go.

Good morning, captain Obvious.
Did you really thought that this case will protect the phone when dropped?
The elago slimfit case is a super all around case.. I have had the black one for about a week...
Interested if anyone has managed to put their Note/case into any of the docks available?.. i am particularly interested in either the Samsung vertical dock with audio connector or the triangular potrait/landscape dock..
cheers

Are you talking about with the case on? If that's what you mean, then it kind of fits in the vertical dock. It doesn't go down all the way obviously but it recognizes it as being connected, charging, and so on. Only thing I've noticed is that on AOKP it thinks the vertical dock is a horizontal one and wouldn't change for me.

I'm using the samsung one, here's a picture with the case and without the case. You can kind of see how it raises it just a little bit. Not much at all really. As far as removing the case, I start from the top left corner then pop it off of the bottom right. I don't like applying a lot of pressure on the power button.
anyone have the white one? is it grippy or is it slippery? cause the black one is rubber type plastic?

I would say skip on the body glove adds a good amount of thickness... If anything check out the d3o sold at tmobile stores, it's rubbery but dust or lint won't stick to it cause I keep it in my pocket and it adds little bulk, still slim, múltiple colors to chose from goes for 24.99... Loving it only thing a pain to remove so make sure you won't be removing it a lot also the thick of some chargers have to be forced in but nothing crazy....

i have to disagree with the d3o case. IMO,they are absolute junk. i actually ended up buying the white body glove after a few months of use. i was tired of having to push hard on the power button just to get a response. Using the D3O case overtime, i noticed the power button recessed in and was super sensitive to the touch. The white Body Glove has little-to-none button resistance.
Plus my over-the-ear-headphones would never fit in the headphone jack. yes you can use something with a skinnier 3.5mm jack,but i'm not willing ditch nice cans.

No, but I know what you mean. The back is made out of 2 types of materials. One on side of the S, there is plastic like you would put on a couch as a covering. On the other side of the S, there is a really soft and smooth rubber. Nothing sticks to it. Check out this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885042
In the thread there are also some videos on the case.

From the links the OP posted i would go with either the fishbone, or the body glove. the body glove is on my sisters s3 and feels great.
Hey my favorite case from cruzerlite is available for the Optimus G! I have one in the smoke color on the way. If you have never used one of their cases before then you are missing out. They are made of TPU with a cool design and the cutouts are perfectly cut. I've owned a bunch of their cases for my GNex, S3, One S, and Nexus 7. Now im adding the Optimus G to my collection.
Check them out here http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/lg/optimus-g/cruzerlite-androidified-a2-case-for-lg-optimus-g-sprint
I will post a review of the case as soon as I get it. Also don't mind the At&t logo on the pictures. This is indeed for the Sprint version!
Ya i saw that earlier today. I really want the CM or xda case!

I'd love to see real life pictures! Curious about which buttons have cutouts (the diztronic I have covers the volume, but not power) and how it looks on the front of the phone. Might be trading it for one of these - I really want a blue or green case and I love the Android design on the back

So I ended up getting the flu so I didn't get to take the time to take better pictures or write up a good review. For now here are some pictures I took with my s3 and just give a brief review.
The case is thin but feels nice. It adds good grip to the phone without adding bulk. Everything fits just right. No ports or holes are off line. One thing I noticed is on the back there is a sort of wet effect between the phone and the case because the glossy back is sticking to the case. I tried to show that with a few pictures. Not an issue for me but just something to keep in mind. You can see the crystal reflection back faintly through this smoke case.
The sides have a nice ribbing for grip. There are openings for the volume and power buttons which are recessed to prevent accidentally triggering them. I was able to fit the Samsung and LG Usb cables through the microusb port cutout. The headphone cutout is big too so I was able to fit my headphone cable and aux cable easily.
The case is thick enough to reach the thickness of the camera so the phone feels all even which is great. You can put the phone down on its back without worry. On the front you might be able to see that the lip comes around enough to keep the screen from touching anything if it's set down face first. This comes at a price though, it lifts screen protectors off.
Overall the case feels great and looks great, I have their cases for all of my devices. It's very minimal in size so font expect amazing protection but for some who isn't looking for bulk this is perfect. It won't ever stick in your pocket or collect lint. It adds some grip and a cool logo on the back.
I'm still very limited writing this from bed so if anyone has questions or wants more info/pics let me know. I'll add pics of the clear one later.

No problem. The only issue I've been having with it is that it tends to collect dust on the phone. Along the edges and inside the cutouts. Let me know if you experience the same issue.

I kinda like keeping my phone clean so I wouldn't let dust collect anyways but we'll see what happens. For some reason I don't think it's getting delivered today even though it says it's in transit.
I bought several cases so far and always end up going back to Slim Armor. It adds a bit of bulk but the protection is great. I actually dropped my phone 3 times from about pocket height on ceramic tiles and tarmac and once when my 9mo son smashed it on the marble table. Took the phone out and not a single damage on it. I admire the stealthy look of the black one plus the cut out are very precise. Only downside is the bottom part where the micro USB port sits has a slight gap that do tend to collect dust but I can live with that

My Slim Armor case has been in my city for 5 day's and they won't let me pick it up. Damn FedEx. I ordered a case from Trident after I ordered the Spigen and I'm already getting that one today. Irritating. How long has it taken people ordering this case from Amazon to receive theirs?

I was actually in a rush to get mine because I didn't want to walk around too long without a case so I paid for two day shipping. It is prime eligible though. Most items that are prime eligible even if you don't have prime and choose the 3-5 day shipping it gets there fairly quickly. At least in my experience.

Most items that are prime eligible even if you don't have prime and choose the 3-5 day shipping it gets there fairly quickly. At least in my experience.

I'm just anxious cause it really looks one a great case and it's ridiculous to have a package sit a couple miles from your house for 5 days. It was sent FedEx smart post, which goes from shipper, to FedEx, then to my post office. Doesn't sound too smart to me.
I laugh at the online reviews of this case, where the reviewer separates the two halves and then struggles to put the case on the phone.
It is a two piece case, but it is made to be used like a one piece case.

This really is a fantastic case! Only complaint I would throw out there is coming from the diztronic tpu case this thing is slippery as hell compared to the phone or the diztronic but I love the looks and seems like this case would for sure withstand a good fall.

Sounds good. I should hopefully have it tomorrow as I seen my post office FINALLY has it. Keep my fingers crossed, especially since I'm disappointed in another case I got today.
Is there a certain way you put the phone in the case? I know you keep the two parts together but how do you start the phone in the case and get it the rest of the way in?
Volume buttons first. Doesn't really matter.

I can say I'm very pleased with the Slim Armor. Install was simple. Very good looking case, got the black one. Very clean looking. I will say that the power button is a tad harder to push, but nothing to give a negative review about, definitely no where near as hard to push as the Zerolemon battery case for my Galaxy Nexus. All in all, very much worth the money and the wait I had to get it.
It's too big. Sent back

I cut both buttons from the rest of the case on one side, so now they press a lot easier.

What do you mean you cut them? You cut the rubber button covers completely off so the buttons are exposed?

Someone know anything about this case? Looks very cool. But back side is plastic, and looks pretty scratchable. If someone has this case, please give more details

Those both look awesome, the one on Amazon especially reminds me of a Raspberry Pi case I got from the Czech Republic, I just wonder how they do with drop protection.

That was my concern. I want more information on any type of paddind around the corners. Basically you protect theh phone from dings from drops but that does you no good when the screen shatters from the shock/impact. I used to have a hard plastic case for my GS3 and I dropped it taking it out of my pocket. The screen cracked but the body of the phone was fine. You wouldn't be able to tell by looking at the phone itself that it was ever dropped after replacing the screen unless you looked on the case.
A review of the Kommandment case:

I wouldn't bother with any full metal case - wireless signal will be severely affected.

The Reddit review posted a couple above here speaks to that: apparently it's a great looking case, but no drop protection/bumpering, just surface protection. Darn, because that's a snazzy-looking case.
I have this case and from my experience, i did not have any issues with reception. I was worried at first forking out that much money for a case. The plastic window (separate piece) does get scratched easily. My one came with a few deep scratches. i contacted support and they were happy enough to send me a replacement piece. The case is very nice and premium to the feel.
In the picture the back is not 100% plastic. Only the window. The back frame (black part) surrounding the windows is aluminum.
Pros
- Very premium and unique compared to all the other cases
- Did not have any wifi/reception issues (Personally)
- Not an iphone fan but i do love the build quality of them and this case will make you feel like you're holding a oversized iphone 4/4s/5/5s
Cons
- Back plastic will get scratched from general wear and tear.
- If you look close enough you will see some imperfections like the volume buttons look a bit scratched (not painted properly? didn't worry me)
Other than those, i love this case. Yes, it is very expensive but i cannot find any other case like this.

ok, just remember that a full alumium back will affect reception.
The link for the Dayjoy black case has no reviews but if you go to the white one :
http://www.amazon.com/DAYJOY-Luxury...4-5171312?ie=UTF8&refRID=0H696MXPVT92CKH9ZMYJ
There are 2 reviews and both of them wrote that it affects reception. Goodluck finding a case!!!
I just talk with casefanatic guy, hi told me, they release scratch resistant plastic window like a iphone glass in few days and same price ???

You can/should take off that IMEI sticker from the back of your phone.
You can still access it in your about phone settings, and it is also on the box your phone came in.
New kommandant back plate is out, but i don't know how it looks on black nexus 5... Any ideas??
