Do the wood style shells protect the camera hump? I currently have the wireless charging back but the nylon is very slippery. It does protect the camera tho.
I've also seen the Tumi backs but all they pictures show the battery pack from Tumi And it looks stupid thick. Anyone know if the Tumi style shell is way thicker than the camera hump?

I got the 3 pack of Motorola shells and they compliment the phone quite nicely. They are very thin just thick enough to flatten out the camera bump.

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.

incipio feather
http://www.amazon.com/Incipio-MT-237-Feather-Motorola-Moto/dp/B00E4207U8 ive been using this. great slim case.
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.

Do you have a link? I don't see the case you described on either Motorola's or Amazon's site.

I'm using the Anker one and I like it a lot. Nice texture, and it barely adds any bulk to the phone.:good:

I have the same one and I like it a lot but I miss the dimple
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.
Has anyone on here used the Ballistic case.

I think I'll order the case I will post on here when I receive and put up a few pictures.
I use Ballastic cases! They are amazing and very durable. I highly suggest them.

Good to know, question though does it have a screen guard like the otterbox defender does. I prefer it not to.
I just bought the Ballistic SG case yesterday, will report back when it arrives. I already have a TPU and a heavy duty case so I was looking for a mid range protection.

No it doesn't have a screen protector.
Some things I like about the case:
1. Phone seems pretty well protected but I can't tell you for certain because I haven't dropped my phone yet.
2. Assembly / disassembly is rather simple.
3. No screen protector
4. Cut outs leave a lot of space so accessing the headphone jack and charging port is easy.
Things I don't like:
1. The back of the case is rather slippery.
2. The rubber on the corners is somewhat loose, which could be a problem if it loses elasticity.
I think the Trident Cyclops case is better than the Ballistic in most areas. However, I'm using the Ballistic regularly because the the adapter on my headphones won't fit in the headphone port using the Trident case.
My Ballistic SG case came in today, fits great, nice wide cutouts and a matte texture on the back so its not slippery.

My case came yesterday, it is a great. It fits very well, buttons are very easy to access w/o getting pressed inadvertently. It is not slippery at all either. To me there are only two downfalls, one being that it covers the Moto dimple and the other being that the lips are a little tall on the front making the quick camera swipe a little tricky but still doable.

I found the Ballistic case for the Nexus 5 to be fairly slippery on the sides, but less so on the back. Is the Ballistic case for the Moto X the same (lightly rubberized on the back only)?
Yes the sides of the Ballistic SG case are hard plastic and slick compared to the back. Case is not slippery though.

Order the Rock Elegant Leather Flip Case for my stylish Sony Xperia Z3 Compact two weeks ago. Get it today and find it really nice. Would like to
recommend to all of you.
The case features a stylish leather cover that offers grip and comfort. A soft microfiber interior lining keeps the display scratch free when the flip cover is
closed. Available color options include black and white.

Got the same one for a while now. And got a rock case for my z ultra too.
They're cheap and very good quality. Can recommend it!

Yes! This is a very nice case. I have one of these too. Quality is good and it fits nicely. I can recommend this case if someone wants a flip case.
Can you post picture how it look in real life please, thanks. And does it have gap for magnetic charging?

Yeah, the quality is quite good and that's why I recommend it to all the z3 compact owners.
After few days of using this case, here are my toughts.
GOOD: Kickstand, Dual layer protection, materials, price, and design
BAD: Top left corner doesn't fit perfectly, orange colur is not as vivid as it is on the picture of E-Bay seller.
Price of the case is 2,74 $ with free shipping. I think it's a real bargain. You can see more in this "quick look" video.

Can you post a picture of the side with the magnetic charging port? I assume it's covered but wondering if you can trim the inner case to be able to use the magnetic charger or will the black back piece be in the way? Is the orange part TPU or softer silicone material?

So here's the thing, I love the rosewood styleswap on my OP2 but by nature I'm very clumsy and I always drop my phones. Is there a case at all that will fit with the rosewood styleswap cover?
I know, it's kind of moot putting a case on top of the custom styleswaps, but yeah...

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...eplus-2-case-review-thread-post-case-t3203384. @DustinDep also uses a custom Styleswap, and he's tested quite a lot of cases already.

I saw his thread. He seems to be using the black apricot and kevlar styleswaps and they don't really add any extra bulk, the rosewood one adds a few millimeters and that's enough to make most cases not fit properly.

I guess you're going to have to be the guinea pig and test some for the rest of us then

Just tested with my brother's Styleswaps (I bought none myself) and Kevlar and Rosewood add the same extra thickness to the phone. I suppose the same goes for Black Apricot as they're all just a layer with a coating on them. Don't have any cases laying around though, sorry.
Hi all style swaps are the same thickness and the cases will fit just fine except for on the side they wont be a snug fit and this is the case with all the cases though Orzly Fusuion fits slight better

What's your source, do you own any? The Sandstone Black Styleswap is obviously thinner than the other ones. They're all the same in width too, so I don't see how they won't fit snug on the sides either.
I have the rosewood and the Ringke Fusion case which does not fit great with the SwapStyle but better with the Sandstone. I have the Orzly Fusion Bumper on the way.
Hi! I have the Aprocot one now but before that i had the rosewood before I returned it, hence I know
This thread can be scrapped, I'm selling my rosewood styleswap.
I have the ringke fusion with the black apricot back and it fits good for me.
