nope. you may get lucky at one of those mall kiosks but i haven't found one yet in any store/kiosk anywhere in town. all my cases have been from the web.

Haven't seen any cases in stores yet. Your best bet would be to use an American eBay auction or to use a generic pouch case.

Ordered a smoky diztronic case. even sounds kinda cool

Amazon has cases available and shipping is rather quick if you the case you order is eligible for prime.

Rearth slim case is a good choice

Motorola X Play Case Availability

Has anyone else has trouble buying a case? I've found multiple sellers on both Amazon and eBay, but they all have the same problem. The shipping for the case is delayed by about 2 weeks+. Most of the delivery estimates tell me it will deliver to me by September 16- October 4. Kind of bummed about this since I just bought my phone yesterday, and would like to use it with a case.
For reference I live in Canada, but when I try to find a case for almost any other phone you can get it fast. I know the phone hasn't been out very long, but it's already been a few weeks, if I'm not mistaken.

I think it depends on how well the phone had been leaked / shown previous to launch.
I don't think many were expecting a x play so perhaps they didn't show it to case companies.
Annoying.
I have a case and screen protector on order and won't be using until I get them.

I know the feeling! I was actually considering the Cruzerlite bugdroid case until I saw the crazy delivery times.
I ended up going with the Motorola flip cover for now. $40 at Bell, $45 everywhere else

For anyone wondering I got a sleo slimline case which came really quick from Amazon.
Decent slimline case for the few quid I paid for it.
I tend to change my cases regularly so cheap and cheerful is OK for me.

Have you got a pic of the phone with the case on?
Reallly frustratingly i got my amazon order cancelled by i-BlasonEU due to 'stock issues' on the day my case was supposed to be dispatched!!! I went for the Supcase Unicorn Beetle in Black/Black http://www.amazon.co.uk/SUPCASE-Uni...w_p_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0EXFJ2YRVVF5WRKZE2AQ . Even more frustrating is the fact that the frost/black version is available for prime AND cheaper!

As requested. Not the best photos but hope they help.

Very nice

When I bought it at the end of August, there was no OtterBox case available. It was important for me to have some kind of protection because I dropped my last phone often. Instead of the OtterBox, I got a slim silicon case and a screen protector, which protect against impact.

Have you tried Telus or Koodo? at my Friends telus they had a case for our phone.

Both Telus and Koodo have cases. The screen protectors are $15 (for the 2 pack no warranty), $35 for the single with warranty. I forgot how much the cases were, but they did have the one where you replace the back cover with the flip one (with the credit card slot on it).
But when I spoke to someone at Koodo, they said that the colored backs were online only. At least that's what the Moto rep told him.

Bell has the flip cover with the card slot for $40 (Telus & Koodo charge $45). They also have a little gel case for $20 but I wouldn't get it (buttons are way too hard to press)

For those wondering what the official flip cover looks like, here's the Teal version. The pattern is the same as the standard back cover, but feels more "grippy."

There are new cases from Incipio available:

Cruzerlite Bugdroid
The cruzerlite cover its perfect for this moto... I bought for the moto G 2013 before.

I just receive my Incipio Octane case and I'm 100% happy. Nice look and good grip. It feel like the Urban Armor case I had for my Samsung Galaxy phone.

Looks good. Where did u get it from? It's very hard to find a good case for moto play. I am using a transparent one gives a good grip and also compliments the back look of the device

Interesting Note 9 Cases NOT Available on Amazon

I wanted to see if I could get some of us to share all the interesting Note 9 cases that are NOT available on Amazon. Typically, I stick with Amazon for basically all my accessory needs for various things because of Prime and its convenience. Especially when it comes to returns. The customer support is spot on, at least in my experience. But I wonder if there's other outlets that have some interesting-looking options for cases for our Note 9 that may be worth checking out.
Every now and then I'll see some ads coming across my IG feed showcasing some N9 cases that I've never seen before. I don't know how legit these places are, so I've never visited the sites. I've seen basically every case available for the N9 on Amazon so now I want to do some exploring outside. Maybe some of y'all have taken a chance with a new outlet and come from it satisfied? Please share.

I tried (and returned) a case from Simply Carbon Fiber (SCF). The carbon fiber looked nice, but I wanted something substantial. The return policy wasn't concise and I had to fight to get my money back... they shorted me $8 when they were only supposed to withhold $3 (a restocking fee). I contacted PayPal (I used PP when I bought the case) to get $5 back. PayPal sided with me and I ended up getting $8 back instead of the $5 I was seeking
At my time of purchase, the UAG Monarch case wasn't on Amazon. It was at Best Buy (red and black) but I wanted black and I had to buy it from the UAG site.

It is transparent, has raised corners, so protects the screen somewhat as well. Does not add to much thickness also.

That's so cool! I'm sure folks have been making biodegradable cases for a while but this is the first time I've become aware of them. Shame that it'll take until next year for them to make one for the N9.

I have their Carbon & Alcantara case. Best case ever. Love the feel, look and grip of the alcantara.

Bummper *only* case

Does anyone know of a bumper only case? Meaning it's just an edge around the phone but nothing on the back?

Rhinoshield makes one and it's great. But, it won't be available for a little while. Not sure when but they have an email sign-up at their website.

I don't know if I trust them with their estimate.
I got the bumper for my nexus 6P and pixel 2xl and it was my favorite.
I wanted it for my 3xl, which I ordered on announcement day last year, but by the time it was available I had bought a slew of other cases and didn't feel like spending any more. Especially since I only had plans on keeping the phone for a year.
I once again ordered the 4xl on announcement day and I'm trying to be patient but I've already ordered 3 other cases so they need to get with it and finish the bumper case already. A discount code would be nice too as it's not the cheapest case in the world.

Just checked their website again, looks like their bumper cases are now available for pre order with shipping around the end of November (so long goes the "early november" time frame they told me)

Totally agree with you here. Their website is now open for pre orders for the 4 XL but doesn't ship till the end of November, which is far too late for most people since other people would already have gone with some other case at this point.
I got a clear case temporarily hoping the bumper one will come out within the next week or so but looks like that won't happen at all :/

Just pre-ordered mine. Said Nov 29 estimated ship date.
+1 to everyone that recommended. Had it for my pixel 3xl and it's the best. Only negative the white won't stay white forever.

FYI. Case shipped today!

I'm a big fan of these but as I've stated previously, I've already purchased (and gotten free) some other cases and I just don't need another.
And I'm never spending $40 so I have to pay the $5 shipping, which is annoying for a $25 item.
TIA

For something other than Rhinoshield, check out XXXXX. It's a case with a transparent back. I am assuming you didn't want a full case in order to preserve the looks of the phone. In that case, this could be a good alternative.
It has protection on the edges so that the phone can take a few drops easily. Plus its cheaper than Rhinoshield.

Thanks for the rec.
I was sent the Schnail case that some got for free and that's my "protection against all circumstances" case. It's surprisingly great!
I just ordered the Rhinoshield bumper case and should have it by Wednesday and that was my favorite on a few of my recent google phones.
I'm using my google fabric case since Saturday and I like it too.
I also have the ESR Mimic, which might be my favorite. The combo of slimness, tempered glass back and grippy tpu bumper is really nice.
I know, at the very least, the bumper will yellow eventually but it is a very nice case.
I also got a deal on the Totallee slim frosted clear and it's pretty cool too. Absolutely the slimmest case ever.
I obviously have a sickness that's shared by many on these forums. Please pray for me. Lol.

I used the Rinke on my Pixel 3XL and never had any issues. Dropped a few times, no damage.
I've tried a few cases with this Pixel 4XL but I'm back to the Rinke!
Also have the ESR mimic on order.

I got my rhinoshield case today and it's of course what you would expect. Fits perfectly and if minimal as can be. The buttons are crisp and very very easy to identify which I truly appreciate.
In short if you like a minimal bumper case that shows off your phone without taking anything away from it, look no further.

Anyone heard anything on the Ringke Onyx? Had this on my 2XL and 3XL, but they don't make it (yet) for the 4XL. The Fusion looks like too much for me and possibly a lint trap. I reached out to Ringke, but it's the weekend so won't likely hear anything back until next week. May have to start with the Spigen Rugged Armor.

I bought the UAG Plasma, its a little heavier than the Rinke but fits great and looks like it would be plenty of protection from a fall.

The crashguard has a lot more texture than last year

I absolutely agree!
So glad I ordered one. I had it for my nexus 6P and my pixel 2xl and loved it. Skipped it on my 3xl as I had too many cases and now I have it for my 4xl and the fit, look and protection is top notch. Highly recommend.
I have bought too many cases again so I try and spread them out and use them all.
I like the esr mimic. It feels and looks great with the tempered glass back.
The Totallee frosted clear case is scary thin, but feels great in your hand. Only protection is from scratches if laid on it's back.
The Schnail case I got for free and it's actually quite good. Incredible protection but I don't have much use for it.
I also got the google fabric case, which I also had for the 2xl and 3xl. It's not as good for the 4xl. The feel of the fabric is better but the fit is not as good. It's not as snug as the past 2. A little disappointing actually.

I wish they would hurry up and release it into the Amazon store. The one for the smaller 4 is there but not for the XL.

I ordered the Blindbox in Germany so I got delivered the sandstone and sandstone case additionally. They are quite hard and not really flimsy. However it's true, camera protection is barely there and I don't think those cases will protect from a drop really good. Also, I want to rock a transparent case with this beautiful blue color. The included one looks and feels really good but is way to soft at the sides, this is even lesser protection than the others cases.
Currently I am using the sandstone case as it gives me way better grip than the carbon one.
I have ordered this case. Let's see how it handles once it gets here: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B085DTHLSZ/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_hsUMEb0JFJSHQ

I drop my phones about once per year so I need a case to protect my phones but a simple bumper case is not enough with these curved displays and depending on how the phone lands, screen might shatter even with a good bumper.case. The cover cases also prevent damage from typical day to day usage.
I have seen some really good implementation of always on displays with smart cover cases, especially from Samsung.
I cannot recommend the case I linked, I don't have it yet and I do not expect much from the case, it just happens to be one for sale now, I think beat cases typically don't get released this early. If anyone sees a good cover case, please post here, also if you see always on screen mods for the phone.

I've ordered it! It looks good but won't ship until next month!

i hope otterbox makes a pop socket symmetry case for this

Had a popsocket for half a year. I liked it. I was reading web books. I did not trust it staying put . . . so . . . . I dabbed a tiny, tiny little bit of super glue at the edges.
