Top quality Moto G 2013 shell - Moto G Accessories

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

Don't they sell the shells on moto's website? the official ones?

Are you talking about the grip shells? They are sold on Motorola's website and Amazon.

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

Spoke to Spigen's customer service, they told that cases for the LOG are in the works. So far they only have the crystal screen protector out. But, as I was told, Crumena, Valentinus, Ultra Thin Air, Ultra FLip, and Neo Hybrid cases are in the works. So SGP fans, sit tight and relax.
I keep checking eBay for a case so I can have everything set for when I get the phone. I imagine they'll be along soon, being such a high end device people will want protection from day one. Like a kid on Christmas waiting on this device!
Got mine from ATT yesterday and they had a case on display, it's a dual protection case for $35, adds a little thickness to the phone. I did find this one online http:// www.amzer.com/Amzer-Simple-Click-On-Case-Black-P95089.htm
I ordered one from this site...
It has free shipping if you use the code "Election" at checkout. My only concern is it states it's compatible with the international and ATT version which is impossible. I ordered the sprint version which is identical to the international. I think after looking at the picture that it's for the international version. I'll report back when I get it in.
Belkin Dual Material Bumper Case
got it from att, and it compliments the phone perfectly. an added benefit of this case is it creates a lip on the back of the device that is great for gripping, two thumbs up for this case...

Found a couple on AT&T's site.
Belkin Black/Gray Surround
Body Glove Icon Hybrid 2 gel/shell pack
I got the body glove. Doesn't add much size, looks good & feels more secure. The stock case fells a little slick to me so I was nervous about dropping it.

I got the bumper today and I really like it. One con tho is if you use a charger where the end is any thicker then the one that comes with the phone it will not fit into the slot provided in the case.

Any news on one for art unfortunately this ones for sprint
I'm waiting for the dual screen dual play display. I love the phone so far (picked mine up in store on Nov 2nd). I looked at the belkin bumper while I was in the store. I ended up just going naked. So far I've only gotten a small scratch on the plastic side, the front and back are pristine.

I can tell because when you go to the page and look at rear pic of the case you can tell by the camera module that it's for international and sprint

This case if definitely for the Sprint and International as the camera cut-out is for the 13MP camera. I really hope they make accessories for the AT&T version (though I bet it's not so easy as the sides are rounded, which I really hate).
I emailed otterbox about a case for the att version and they told me they have one in the works but no ETA

Does the bumper allow you to see the LED notification light on the power button, or does it cover that up?

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.

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.

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

Cannot recommend the cheap ebay ones. This one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=231116130513
(after being shipped more than a week late) only half fits my Moto G (despite having a cutout, it obscures the power/volume buttons and hence makes operation an utterly frustating exercise)
Good leather case
I got this today, it is good, not great but cheap. But the screen protector does not fit something wrong with the dimensions I used the scissors, or maybe I could not fit properly. It folds at the back. that is nice.:good:

Hi. If you have case even leather with do cover you can use the app hovering controls. It does not work smoothly but simulates what the shell is supposed to do.
A bit annoying is that many times of you keep your hand hovering it will lock your phone disturbing what you are doing.

I'll jump in here and say that I've had several Ringke cases and they've all been great. They are one of my favorite case manufacturers, and they're fairly inexpensive.
Edit: just ordered a clear case as well. I was going to get black, but decided I want either the red or blue shell, so the clear case will show it off.
Yes I think they has stock in clear maybe not in the other colors

My ringke slim case came in
Case looks nice doesn't feel or look cheap.
Doesn't add bulk but does make the phone little slippery in the hand
Like how it came with a screen protector and when installed don't add any glare or interfere with the quality of the screen.
And has table lay so if you lay it on the table it won't be touching the screen
And cutoff for the power button and volume button still are easy to press and don't not interfere.
Overall 9/10

There is already quite some choices and availability for Moto G cases, but none of those I can find on the Internet cover the two weak points of a phone, especially this one: the side buttons AND the screen.
The Ringke look like they are the most reliable cases, so are some rubber cases that wrap the phone in the bumper with cutouts for the Volume and Power/lock buttons but... it doesn't protect the screen as much as the flip shell does but the flip shell leaves the definitely flimsy buttons unprotected.
Isn't a case that cover both weaknesses common for other older models ?

I have the same Flip Cover i bought locally, it was good enough to protect your phone. But i still recommend the original Moto G Flip cover, which i just received today from Amazon.
A friend has a big scratch in his Moto G because of Sand between the display and the shell. Thats the reason why i wont buy it.

Hi. I'm using the white motorola flip cover and i have to say I'm satisfied with its material quality and also fitting.
My problem right now, the fitting is too hard to open so i cannot change the back case and change sim kad.
Does anyone here know how to safely crack open the flip cover?
I had the same problem, the first time it was very hard to remove the back of the flipcover but a butter knife did the job without any damage

I got mine from Amazon UK for £13.98, but I am going to sell this, white easily gets dirty. I bought 3, White, Black and Turquoise. Currently using the Turquoise, I will use Black later or sell it as well.

They're actual wood, that's why it sliced so much. (I think?)
I asked d-brand awhile back and they're going to support moto g. Also a lot of shops online already do, but they're not actual wood.
Yea, the scores are relief marks. Supposedly the curve is too much for the adhesive to hold. The X has a less aggresive roundness, and that's why it doesn't have the score marks.
If you want wood pattern skin for the Moto G, might as well get Skinomi. They use the same 3M material as dbrand.
Cool, thanks for the heads up.
