Probably best asked in the Accessories forum, however, the Nillkin glass screen protectors are great. Also, the official moto metal bands are good.

quick cover alternatives?

Hi there does anybody know of any cheaper alternatives to the official quick cover? I'm looking for a cover that has a magnet to turn the screen on and off just like the official case, but cheaper.
Many thanks.

[Q] Moto X skins in India

Hey!
Does anyone know where I can get skins for my 2013 Moto X here in India? The textured back coating on my Moto X is beginning to peel off. It's been over a year and i don't want to use a case. Thanks in advance!

But they will never be the same quality as the original. In fact, not even close.

I wanted a case for temporary usage, so I ordered one from printvenue in a hurry.
but later I realized I have ordered a skin...
I didn't use it though as I have a wood back...
What is skin for moto x? Can you provide a link for it?

Has anyone got the official Flip case or any other file style case for the Oneplus x? What has been your experience so far?
I'm looking into these kinds of cases

I'm using the black flip case from OnePlus.
I think it's a really nice case. The material is nice and smooth to the touch, it feels very premium in my opinion. It's quite thin, so it doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone. The cover closes completely, and also folds back completely. All four sides are exposed, but I don't really see it as a drawback at all. I'm perfectly happy with this case.
Are there any flip cases besides the original one, with automatic screen on/off?

No, they need to have a magnet in a certain spot for it to work.
I have ordered the flip case from Orzly. It's arriving this morning.

ultimate shield glass screen protectors

I have recently purchased a ultimate shield glass screen protector that is case friendly from eBay for £10.99
The first 1 I was sent fitted perfect but would not stick to my phone so the company sent me another.
The second 1 stuck well but let dirt through the sides.
So they asked me to wait another week to try a upgraded version so I did and that arrived today. Although the sides are now black (previously clear) which fixed the dirt entering the side of the phone but none the top edges stick at all and there is far to much space between the phone screen and the glass so there's a clicking noise all the time when in use.
So I of course contacted the company again as I payed £10.99 and still my phone is not protected so I do expect a refund regardless to there help sending more out as they are not fit for purpose, I am thankful for them trying.
So the last conversation I had with them regarding a refund was they have yet another version of the protector they are sending out to me today to try so I shell receive that tomorrow hopefully and if it fits well I will upload pictures ect..
The bottom line is atm the ultimate shields glass screen protectors do not yet work for our devices so you may won't to keep clear for now if you have thought about buying 1.
Any updates please?

New 1 just arrived. I will be installing shortly. This 1 is described very different as a 3d silk printed / black
Just fitted this screen protector and it is the best I've had to date. It fits perfect! There is deffienetly no space between the glass. It fits perfect around the phone. The glue is much stronger than any previous protectors. The curve seems more of a curve than previous but I still am able to use my cafele case without any uplifting.
I'm extremely happy with this protector and deffienetly worth the £10.99!
I'm not sure what cases this will work with as I only have 2 slim cases and originally it's advertised as a case friendly protector so it should fit a variety of cases as there is a gap at the top and rear for the case bumber access. I will try and upload a picture of it fitted later today when I have access to a camera.
Ultimate shields seem to be a good company and will help you with any issues. I would recommend buying this version and if you was to go ahead and buy this model I would message them first and tell them you want the new version vimto25 from xda was sent in case you receive old stock.
Is it "Case Friendly" ?

I think it's a 50/50 situation. The first few I had of them was classed as case friendly and I believe they was very case friendly but as I stated they had issues.
This new 1 looks slightly less case friendly but I have a case on it and it fits to a T so I think it needs testing with different cases that I do not have. It has gaps around the top and bottom and the sides for a case to fit with a open top which I prefere.
I've just received a message from the seller after giving them my feedback. They have said it's not yet in production I am the first to of tried this. But they assured me if you message them with my xda username you will be send this new design of there's.
I hope someone with a few cases purchases this and gives there feedback on what cases fit and what cases don't.
Ordered one today and they are send me a development unit, thank you!
Just need to get the phone now....

Very good
Do you have any cases?
Well you've done it the right way a protector should always be brought before the phone arrives in my opinion ?
I have ordered the Nillkin Frosted Shield case based on the positive reviews in the other thread. Phone arrives tomorrow, and screen protector is shipping today so hopefully...... I always like to fit the screen protector straight away while the phone is new.

By the looks of that case the screen protector should fit fine
That was the plan ?
Just bought one of these and it fits perfectly with a uag plasma case. Thanks for the heads up

How's the glass protector holding up? Thinking of ordering one soon
Installed mine yesterday and it's kick ass. No reason to hesitate. Buy this.
Will do....Did you message the seller asking for the 3d silk printed / black one?
Is this the link to the Ultimate Shield Glass Screen Protector? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ultimate-...-Plus-Black-/142348224139?hash=item21249d868b
If so then this guy doesn't ship to the United States :/

Which of these two armor cases do you think is better?

I was looking for a rugged armour case that prevents the camera bump and found the two common types of cases.
One is with a tire tread-like design and the other one has a bubble-like design. Pictures in attachments.
Which one of these would you prefer and if you have had any experience with them please do tell.

"Bubble" case, with reviews:
https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Generation-Shockproof-Protective-Kickstand/dp/B06X6GMHJ7
"Tire tread" case, with reviews:
https://www.amazon.com/Moto-Plus-Case-OMOTON-Motorola/dp/B06WP1WB2L
Another "tire tread" design:
https://www.amazon.com/Moto-Plus-Case-OMOTON-Motorola/dp/B06WP1WB2L
I can't tell if the second tire tread design is the same as the first; the back appears flatter, but it just may be lighting. Either model gets higher reviews than the bubble design, and it looks way cooler.
I bought the Moto G4 version of this case, and was pleased:
https://www.amazon.com/Cimo-Shockproof-Absorbing-Protection-Motorola/dp/B01N7MTNDA
I despise the "kick stands" on smart phone cases; the phone doesn't sit level face-up on a table when the stand is retracted, and has a tendency to rock.
My G5+ carries the boring Spigen TPU case:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XD1K5S6/ref=psdc_3081461011_t1_B06WP1WB2L
The Spigen fits VERY snug on the phone, the the TPU material is much firmer than I was expecting (in a good way); the button protectors are partially relieved for smooth button-pressing. I would get the Spigen again without hesitation.

Of all the rugged cases you listed, I personally prefer the last two (CIMO and SPIGEN), but I must say that I am quite a fan of SPIGEN rugged cases.
I had SPIGEN on my last three phones, included my current Moto G5 plus
Neither.
Pistol grip texture is my preference.

Nice reviews on Amazon, but it sure is expensive:
https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-5-2-inch-Outback-Feather-Light-Military/dp/B06XS3JKGS/
FYI, their case also does a very good job of providing a noticeable tactile difference between the power and volume bottons. On this phone, it's really easy to press volume down instead of power on. This is one of the main reasons I like UAG. They do work on the small things.

i have had the SPIGEN case on my g5 since I got it and it is amazing quality for like 10$

I did a search of this case. Walmart and Amazon, only sell it for the Iphone or Samsung phones.. Unless you know of another retailer who sells it for Moto. How is it the best case hands down.

Well with not, what I consider really good options. I just went ahead and purchased this one.. if it sucks, then I will just send it back.. I would have preferred a Otter Box, since that is all I ever used.. But since they don't offer one for this phone. I just dove in and picked one with a lot of crappy reviews any. LOL What can I loose..

The built-in screen protector models usually get mediocre reviews; either folks love them or hate them. Some models get refraction, and others have sensitivity issues.
I've always purchased the self-apply screen guards and standard cases; I get more flexibility, and costs are significantly less.
Does anyone know of a battery case that fits this phone? I've been searching and can only find a few for the G5 models, nothing for the G5S+

By what do you mean battery case? I bought a case for this phone, but it hasn't arrived yet. I have already sent my Moto G5 Plus back to the store. So if you need a case I will give it to you if you want when it arrives.
FWIW, the Spigen-style case turned out much better than the Diztronic, and can be found on eBay for $2-4. Mostly corrects for what I consider to be a recent ergonomic design fad flaw: curved edges.
