Holy crap, thanks for this mate, I was wondering when they would be back in stock

Quality is ****,I think mine lasted a week before it started peeling,other as supporting xda would not recommend this case free shipping or not.
Tapatyping from my GNex

Damn...already placed the order anyway, when I get mine I'll let you guys know if it is any different.

are those sold in Europe or they should be shipped from the US
have a nice day

I got mine last week. It seems quality enough to me. I'm not sure what there is to peel, the color/paint seems to be pretty well on there. Maybe the guy with the peeling one just got a bum case? Don't mind the crap photo. Its from an old Pantech phone as my GNex is in the photo.

This is what people mean by the case peeling:
Mine was fine on arrival. But I rubbed the case the wrong way putting the phone in and it scratched it. That scratch led to the print peeling off. My friend that has it for his Nexus 4 even has the same issue.

Same here quality is poor and is too much hassle to claim a new one as I am in Europe,ah well at least I am supporting XDA

Just got mine today and I have to say it is a good quality.
Will test is this week going in and out of some different pockets and see if I get the same peeling problem.
Just from feeling it right now, it feels like a quality case, I also have the Diztronic tpu case which is great, but this feels a bit more premium.

One week in and the case is still holding up really well, I guess the guys who got the peeling problem may have gotten some that
were not supposed to pass quality control. It happens, so far so good for me, not a problem with it and people are asking me where
did I get that case

I wouldn't be so sure. Mine is just faintly starting to turn white at the flashing seam.

Dang, that sucks, mine is still in good condition, just oils and what not from my fingers on the back.

Arggggggghhhhhhhhhh I cracked my screen!!

I have never dropped any of my phones.. I have a rubber bumper on the phone just to protect me just in case..
What I was not expecting, was that I would slam the car door on my phone.. it was in my rain jacket pocket that got between the door and the car body..
Ughh..
I have the T-Mobile Jump plan.. so this is gonna cost me $150.. Ruined my day.
The phone works.. but the glass is coming off on my fingers.. cutting them up. So I need to fix this ASAP
The phone is literally 5 weeks old...

Question: I rooted my phone.. It still works. Will I have any issues with filing my claim if I say the screen is just cracked and send them the phone and they see it was rooted?

It's an insurance claim not a warranty claim so it will not matter.

Won't matter since it's an insurance claim. And it's $175.

Just wanted to say I feel your pain and am sorry for your loss.
Knock on wood I have only broken 1 screen and I remember staring at it incredulously on the floor thinking that can't be my phone. My kids have each broken their screens 1 time.

Damn man. Sorry about this occurrence.
Sent from my SM-N900T

I am sorry.. it's time for us to part ways..
No.. it's not you.. it's me..
It's been an amazing month together..
But you are cracked out..
and I am looking for something.. new..
But.. we can still be friends...

Now go buy a tempered glass screen protector.

Suggestions for one?
Would it really save the phone from being cracked? I literally slammed a car door shut on it (it was in my rain coat pocket that was half in/half out of the car)

Might have, might have not. On my S4 I shattered the Tempered glass pretty bad. Wasn't sure if it saved my screen. Took it off and screen was without a scratch. I've had great experiences with the Iloome one. The regular one, not the flex. And it's way cheaper than Spigens. Plus it feels like nothings on and a little extra protection won't hurt.

Is there any difference in viewing the screen or thickness of the phone?

Real wood backed cases

So I saw this on Amazon and am very tempted to check it out. Some reviews for an older version say its not very well made but this looks like a revised version. Anyone got one? Love the official wood backs on the moto x but they aren't available in the UK.

So my case finally arrived from boxwave. Its very well made, it has a silky texture on the plastic edges and the back has a rubbery feel texture over the bamboo. All the cut outs are precise and neat, boxwave logo even looks pretty good. It snaps firmly onto the phone and I think it looks really premium.
The plastic is slightly raised above the screen at the front, leaves the top and bottom open like a lot of hard cases.

That looks pretty awesome. I would like to see more pictures from the front though. Really need a case that can protect from a fall unfortunately.

My coworker has that case on his Nexus 4. It's pretty nice. I just don't like the logo on there.

Yeah agreed about the logo. I'm waiting for pay day to order one. I'll post some pics when I get it ?

Ha very true! Also I read that all bamboo dies after about 10 years because it is degraded from the inside out by a fungus.
Wish someone would make a oak or beech back...

Wow, didn't know that. Learn something new every day.
I'd go for Cocobolo Burl. Coolest looking wood I've ever seen. Of course it's super rare and probably costs more than gold haha.

Yeah that stuff looks amazing! Very regal, type of thing you'd find on a baroque period dresser or something. I think really I want a moto X but moto maker (which you use to order custom colours and wood backs) is USA only right now.

Yeah, if they made a case out of that, I would jump on it so quickly.
I want to like Motorola, but after the hellish experience/treatment/neglect/no updates/etc I had with the Atrix 4G, where they just abandoned it after less than a year and pretended it didn't exist.... I don't think I'll ever buy another Motorola phone ever again. That cost so much (bought outright) and was so disappointing, it just turned me off to them (they do have the best USB cables out there though!).

It's available but man, the international shipping is ridiculous. $13 for the case, but $18 just for shipping?? I've bought cases from US before and I've never been charged more than $10 for shipping......
Too bad, this really looks like an awesome case

Good looking case but I will not buy it without prime and wait for hella days for it to be delivered

well, this thread is useless, i mean: who cares about that? The case is fugly, too tick, only to people who didnt have too much care of the phone just use this but for normal people slim cases is way better.
and if you grab this by that price it means something did you think?? means nobody is buying them and the seller wants to get ride of them quickly.
and if people want protection, good one just to to UAG cases not this (i think, thats what i think if i need a superb protection case, i go to UAG).
meh, just live with it...no more people need or bother to know. yes is a great deal but in the end that particular case hide the initial idea of this kind of phone: beauty, eye catcher, look stuning.

But in reality, even if the case is expensive, but is just ugly, then it's just ugly case.
Buying it cheaper does not make it beautiful. It still ugly case, but well.... it's cheaper
