I've always preferred the "tackiness" of a soft rubber silicone case (like the all-famous tire-looking case) because of it's superior grip. And I don't mean like it can handle a 2-degree slope. My current S5 case will keep my phone stationary at about a 70-degree angle.
Any suggestions on where to look besides eBay and Amazon?
Thanks in advance!

i wanna to buy a bit expensive case with top quality of case...

Perhaps you should say what sort of case your after? There are expensive cases of all types, e.g. silicone, hard case, leather cases.

I am using iaccy hard case it's very gud!
buy an origional samsung flip leather case. can't beat an OEM
what about the heat if use the phone in a case - I had before a silicone case but I felt uncomfortable with it - got the impression that the phone is getting a bit too warm
According to the site it is a slim, low-profile hard shell design with a brushed aluminum finish. Looks great to me, similar thickness to the Diztronic, though those with the MAO body won't like the open top and bottom.

I really like my diztronic black glitterflex, but this Incipio case caught my eye recently. I'm hard pressed to spend 3x what the Diztronic cost, but the Incipio seems more my style. Anyone tried it?
I used this case for a while. It's a good looking case, my biggest issue was while that it made the power button difficult to press, I finally took a dremel and made a notch similar to 3.5mm jacks notch. That solved that problem but then a coworker accidentally knocked my phone of my work station and of course it managed to hit on the bottom where there is no case and scratching the phone...I have since changed to the Bodyglove case that Walmart(of all places) carries.
They sell this case at the T-Mobile stores...
I agree that it looks good, but I've seen it on the phone, and it doesn't protect much at all. Buy it for grip, it does help with that, but otherwise... not very useful.
This case is not worth the money in any shape or form
I work for T-Mobile and we do indeed sell these at our stores. It initially looked very appealing to me because of the slimness and looks but after trying it on, I realized that the edges of this case are very sharp and uncomfortable to hold.
I'm currently waiting for my Moto X (2nd gen...) to arrive and searching for a case & screen protector.
I live in Israel and so prices are higher than in the US if I include shipping and so on. For example the Supcase bumper case which I assume will be best for me costs about 33$.
I've also checked Chinese sites like Ali Express and I can find all kind of cases for 1$-5$ and shipping is free. I'm wondering if there's any significant difference between those higher-priced branded cases to and generic ones in terms of protection. My current Moto G has a Trident Aegis case which is great but also pretty expensive - I'm wondering if I should again invest in a such a case (though not so bulky as this one) or I can go with one for 4$-5$ and get pretty good protection.
I WON'T compromise on protection but if I can get it for less money it's of course better.
I bought myself a cheap case for $6 the day I got my Moto X. Thankfully, it has got enough and adequate protection all around its back as well as the sides of the phone. It has cutouts for camera, microphones and the power and volume buttons. The expensive ones are just branded and have some cooler designs, but protection; meh. I'd personally look for how thick is it and what material it it made of and if it covers the sides of the phone. The cover should be moderately thick, preferably thin on the sides, but should cover up the sides and make the phone rest on the case when placed screen down. The materials I would look for is some softer material like soft plastic so it provides maximum bump protection. DO NOT go with the expensive ones. They serve no purpose. The cheap ones protect my phone from bumps on flat screen all the time.

Thanks. I've just read many reviews that say the phone is extremely fragile. Any recommended cheap but protective case? Can those generic case can even be named online?
Not really. Bought it from a local shop, doesn't belong to some shiny high end company. But it is decent enough. The phone isn't fragile by any means. It is the most sturdy frame I've seen to date. The screen however curves to the sides of the device, so a side drop will break the screen unless you use a case.

I use i-blason soft case, its very great protecting my moto X. I had the phone dropped with the screen downward, and this case safe my screen because it has tip over the screen. Its not so expensive too,also its not covering the dimple on the back.

Thanks! Just ordered that i-Blason case. It was also the cheapest one to ship to my country which is not generic. Hope the price will be worth it... Because it's not exactly what I meant when I said "cheap"...
Hi guys,
I'd buy a clear case for my nexus 6p, the look of this phone is great and i want to show it! Looking around i read about a lot of cases, the case comparison thread of this forum too. In particular i find very interesting Ringke Fusion and Spigen NeoHybrid EX cases, which is better in your opinion? Do they protect sufficiently the phone? For those who have them, they turn yellow over time? I read the Ringke Fusion has a large fingerprint cut, it causes problems of scratches?
If you have other suggestions you are welcome, i'm seeking the right balance between thinness and protection, so i didn't consider the Spigen Ultra Hybrid because it doesn't cover the camera for example. Thank you!
I have three clear cases: Spigen Ultra Hybrid, Nillkin Nature, and a generic TPU I got off eBay.
The Spigen is the only one that hasn't become discolored. I'm not certain, but I'd assume the Neo Hybrid would be the same material. I know you mention not wanting the Ultra Hybrid because it doesn't cover the visor, but I used that case a lot and had no issue. The only scenario I could see it failing would be if you dropped your phone and it landed completely flat and hit a rock right in that unprotected area. You could also use a dbrand visor skin (I do) to avoid scratches. Just a thought.
The Poetic Affinity case I have is thin, covers the camera visor, has good grip and no discoloration. The problem, and I'm not sure if it is just me or not, is the top right side of the case does not fit snug. It moves and clicks when you squeeze it. Kind if obnoxious but other wise good case

Hi there,
Did anyone bought any "Slim Fit" cover ( as the Air Skin from Spigen ) ? How was your experience with those ?
Actually I use ( as I always do ) the Spigen Tough Armour when at work but when I'm off I would like to enjoy the phone a bit more.
What I need is a thick and soft cover. Those on Amazon slips away from the phone even by using the adhesives they provide with or at least this is what I read on the review.
Any suggestions?
The bottom half is pretty standard across the board. The top isn't the most secure, but holds enough for causal use. Not talking about any one specific slim case. They all tend to slide up a bit because there is nowhere to anchor them.
Find one you like and use the spare stickers from the Spigen. Using one of the full body films can help keep it in place, too. Another option is some double sided tape below the screen. If you aren't trying to flip it open like a Zippo, it will stay on.

I have used Spigen cases for years for my candy-bar phones - but for this phone I got a Ringke http://www.ringke.com/site/item.php?id=1&item=1248
It's basically 2 pieces of polycarbonate, and a small raised lip protects the main screen of the phone, as well as the outside. It's maybe 1.5mm raised from the small screen.
First, I haven't dropped it seriously (yet). It took a drop from waist-height onto a tiled floor without a problem - though the thing about falls, is that it does depend on HOW it falls.
Like all the slim cases it doesn't protect the hinge mechanism - but if you are looking for protection there, the case gets a lot thicker - and not sure if the phone would then rest flat on a surface.
I bought the transparent one, then bought the black variant - if you use the flash as a torch, the transparent polycarbonate transmits the beam all across the case...
I was looking for portability with "sufficient" protection, whilst being able to fit into my back pocket (yes, really!).
Because of the phone's form factor, the overall level of protection is fine for me
I bought one and sent it back for one particular reason. It is made of hard plastic, and when folded, it makes weird sound when mobile vibrates. Both hard shells vibrate against each other. Rest it is a sleek cover. SO far I found only the Samsung one to be most useful.
I just bought and tried both the tough armor and air skin. I sent the tough armor back.
Zero issues with case halves sliding on or off. Everything seems firm and secure. I really like the air case. Just enough for some protection and a better grip.
The tough armor completely ruined the zflip experience for me. Turned it into way to thick of a brick. At that point I'd prefer a candy bar phone.
Hope that helps OP.
