I have the Sparin (http://amzn.to/2xeWdYF) case which is two piece. The size and outside texture are great but the buttons are a little big on the side. I have butt-dialed and turned off the phone inadvertently a couple of time. Any alternatives that are close with more streamlined controls?

I've got this one on order.
TUDIA Moto G5 Plus Case
I ordered it because it looks nearly identical to the Spigen I had on my S7 and loved.

Please let me know how you like it.
I've got Tudia Merge and it's best. Durable material, nice grip and well made. I used tudia also with my moto x play for last year.

That actually looks great. Are the buttons part of the inner liner or separate?

It's ok. The inner TPU(?) isn't as soft as my previous Spigen and the metallic-like part of the case seems really flimsy. When installed tho, it stiffened right up and bulks the phone up making it much easier to hold. The molded buttons are part of the inner case and make the phone button very hard to press. I'm hoping they will get easier with use. It protects the camera bump and the does appear that it will protect the phone well. The metallic-like back is grippy and helps keep the phone from sliding around.
It's a good looking case for $10.

Good protection, easy to remove, looks good and that it will feel good in the hand while not adding bulk to the device I like it thin.
The first case looks like it would add a fair amount of protection, and it's also aesthetically pleasing. It looks like it may add a tiny bit of bulk though; although, it might make it a little more pleasing to hold.
The second case doesn't seem that it would offer a lot of protection, but the holster is definitely a plus, and the case is fairly slim.

If you like it thin, then cross that first option off the list. Duo layered "hybrid" cases aren't thin by design. The thinnest I know, is from Seidio, with very nice in-hand feel and good protection.
The other white case with the holster won't offer you top or bottom protection if you ever drop it. So cross that off as well.
If you want single layer solution, you should consider TPU, it's a popular choice for a reason (beside price). CruzerLite and Diztronic are good options. CruzerLite's Androidified cases are noticeable thinner than Diztronic's classy version, but both are recommended. I wouldn't recommend any white TPU though, since they love to suck up color that rubs against them.
What I'm currently using now is a bumper case. There's a few threads about it. My version did have the TPU separation problem, but once I've placed a few dabs of superglue on area, I've experienced only satisfaction with the case. Here's the eBay page for it. I bought one copy from a similar seller, and a couple more from an online website that have stopped offering them. Needless to say, price have risen up a bit since when I bought them last.

Thanks that's kinda what i want but for the VZW model
I bought a case which looks very similar to the first one off amazon which fit very loose. I tossed the case out the day I got it. The phone was literally falling out of the case.
A link to the one i bought. Dont get it.

I have the VZW GNex. The bumper fits just fine. The top rim doesn't completely fold over onto the screen, but unless you're super OCD, it's negligible. The overall feel of the phone + case won me over. You should at least try it. For only 3 bucks (when I bought it), it's a great case for me.
Hope someone can help out,
I have the Diztronic case, it had a ton of good reviews on Amazon, I like it a lot, adds little bulk, which I want, but still not as much "grip" as I'd like. I briefly had the Rocketfish, while it had good grip, the cover over the buttons made it difficult to push them, it's much better with the Diztronic. The Hyperion sounds like it has what I want, except some have mentioned that same issue with the buttons difficult to press. Been searching a ton trying to find something. Hate to spend another $10 plus $5 for shipping from Amazon to find out a case isn't what I expected.
Has anyone tried the Tudia case?
Thanks

I am currently using this case:
Search amazon for SUPCASE moto x, its the first one.
(sorry, cant post links yet)
The SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Hybrid case for Moto X:
It fits PERFECTLY and is pretty grippy on just the edges. The back is very matte and is perfect for sliding in your pocket and not sticking. It is pretty thin-doesn't add much bulk at all. It even has the dimple in it! (I love the dimple) The buttons are a little stiff at first, but i found they wear in after about 5 or 6 days, and become really easy to press. After about 2 weeks, you can actually feel the tactile click of the buttons easily. It also comes with a really nice screen protector (unfortunately mine had a crease in it when it arrived- caused a huge bubble so i took it off). For $14, this is better than the cases that Motorola sells on its website.

Thanks. It looks like it has a bit more bulk, I guess it's just the design that appears that way? I do want to keep it as bulk free as possible.
Wondering if anyone has tried the Hyperion, if it has good grip on the sides and back. Some posted the buttons are difficult to press, but I'd consider cutting out with an exacto knife over the buttons.
Just ordered the Hyperion case, sounds like what I'm looking for, slim, unbranded, and grippy on the sides with cutout for the dimple. Also comes with a screen protector, but I already have what I presume is superior (Armor Suit screen protector) I just haven't put it on yet

Yeah, the case is a tad bulky, but not so much that its bothersome. How is the Hyperion case? Im curious.
Also, i have the ArmorSuit screen protector, but i couldn't stand it when it was on- it really cut down on the quality of the screen, although I think i may have still had a little moisture in between. I just took it off. My case has raised edges, so im not too worried about scratches
Looking to get the slimmest case I can. What's the best slim hard case? I had the ringke slim for my nexus 5 and liked it. Looking for something like that for my Moto x. Thanks.

I used the Incipio Feather for the past 2 years and loved it, but decided to give one of these a go. They are both the same just with a different name sticker. Build quality seems similar to the Feather. Overall, very happy.

I got the black smoke one they have on the Motorola site. I think its made by Incase. I found it on amazon for cheaper so I bought it there. Its not really black and more like clear smoke. I have the dev edition so it looks good and you can still see through the back and it has that soft touch feel that the ringke slim has on my galaxy nexus. I also like that it does not cover the M dimple on the back.

The power support shell is slimmer than the in case and comes with an anti scratch coating. The shell is nice in that there are no seams on the inside so it has less chance of scratching your phone. Haven't had the chance to really test it as I'm waiting for my moto x replacement but I'll snap some pics afterward. If you are into the hard minimalist case big don't want to introduce scratches, this seems the best option for now.

Received Anker case. Despite being sandy texture, the case is very slippery.
It also does not protect all corners. Highly disappointed, because its look is very nice.
Why don't all cases have the moto indentation on the back confuses me.
i bought both the poetic pallete and the bear motion cases. of the 2, i like the bear motion better with the grippier texture. However, that said, neither fit my phone well at all and won't stay locked into place. YMMV
I have bought the anker sandpaper, incipio feather, poetic, as well as two bumper cases from some HK-based vendor. Of the 3 minimalist "cases", I use the incipio the most. Truth be told, the poetic has a better (but nearly identical) texture to it, but the bottom is shaped in such a way where it digs into my small finger when holding it (I have my finger running parallel along the very bottom). If the incipio kept the dimple, it'd be my daily driver. I use the bumper cases more often than not and whenever I do grab one of the minimalist ones, it's always the incipio.

Wow, I noticed the same thing with the poetic case... Very uncomfortable

I have the Incipio Folio which includes a feather. Basically, you have a the feather case, and then you can snap that into a wallet style flip case. The only gripe I have about the feather is it contours to the phone too well... If you have the phone on a flat surface it just spins and flops around if you poke at it.
If I have a case I'd like it to be the absolute thinnest possible so it doesn't detract from the great feel of the Moto X.
Are there any cases out there thinner than either the Incipio Feather or Casemate Barely There?

+1 on this. Nice, thin case...not terribly protective. I have the same case but it has "Anker" branding on it. Got it off Amazon and I believe a few different companies sell them.

Agree re protection, but that's what you trade for "ultra thin". It protects the corners and the back. If you drop it from less than a foot the screen will probably be ok from the raised edges as well.
I swap out my thin "sand" case for the Griffin when I go to the gym (where I have a greater chance to drop the X much harder and/or have it go flying off the cardio machine!). The nice thing about both my X cases is that they are very quick to change on the fly.
My girlfriend is about to get the Moto G and I would like to get her a decent case for her new phone, hopefully keeping it <$20.
She tends to drop and bump her phones, so something that's somewhat rugged would be good. I am not sure a standard TPU case like the Hyperion or Amzer is tough/rugged enough. I have looked at the Fosman Hybrid case, I am not sure how it holds up tho..
Your suggestions would be appreciated greatly
Thanks,
Pete

I'm running with a standard Motorola Grip case and a Nilkin tempered glass screen protector.
If she drops it a I definitely recommend a tempered glass protector. they are proved to protect the screen from a drop much more than a standard rubber protector would.

I originally bought that case, but ditched it in favor of the Trident case. The hyperion case is hard plastic inside and out, and won't provide much shock absorption if dropped. It's OK, but kind of cheaply made. Better than nothing though.

I also ended up with the Trident. It was pricey @ $18, but I had a $15 eBay coupon so figured why not. It definitely adds some bulk, but I think I like it overall. one side stays slick, other gets grippy.
This MYBAT Tuff hybrid case seems like it would offer very good protection for the Moto G. Add a screen protector and you're good to go.

For 9.95 I think it's a very well made case. I especially like having the belt clip available when needed.
Hi although the official grip cover looks cool on the device and doesnt add extra thickness to the device.. I am not very confident about how well it would protect the device..hence I have been thinking about getting a Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit Case for the phone. Any of you who have been using the Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit Case kindly provide some feedback..how thick does it make the phone ? Does it really protect the phone well ?
