Myself along with several others on XDA and other forums would really like a simple bumper case for the Droid Turbo. I'm hopeful that if we get enough of us together that are committed to purchasing that we might be able to persuade Cruzerlite to manufacture such a case for us. If this is something you want and are serious about purchasing please show your support by casting your vote on this thread, and I will do what I can raise awareness with Cruzerlite as I know they have made special edition XDA cases in the past.
The phone itself is built solid, so I'm just in search of something that will protect the edges of the device (including the buttons), create a small ridge to keep contact off the glass when laying face down, and keep contact off the camera when laying face up all while keeping the unique colors and textures of the Droid Turbo exposed on the back without adding much bulk or weight to the device.

I've bought this. I've dropped my phone a few times already I just wished the rubber was a little thicker. But it's protected my phone so far from those drops.
Motorola Droid Turbo / XT1254 (Fits Ballistic Nylon Version), COVRW... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QLV2SDY/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_NIQVub1QGF8RR
I have a full case right now (Cruzerlite bugdroid TPU). I would like a bumper case that is just a protective "ring" around the edges of the device that would let the ballistic nylon on the back exposed.
i really want a bumper made for Droid o Maxx.
but needs to be done right and to put the beauty of this device in evidence
Agreed. Thanks for your vote.
Had a bumper for the maxx and my daughter has a perfect bumper for her 2014 X. Why not the Turbo?
Yes! This is exactly what I'm looking for. I hate having a case on my phones but I learned with my last phone that the corners get dented and trashed too easily when dropped, no matter how much Ghost Armor you have on it.
That's all I want too. I like the feel of the nylon and after using cases for years I don't want to go back. Even better would be a bumper with a kick stand and support line going across the back but everything else exposed.

Another yes vote here. Got my Moto Maxx yesterday and am using it naked as the cases I have make the phone too bulky (for me) but I'm worried about the bezel getting scratched, marked or chipped.
Thanks for the YES votes!
Thank you for the YES votes we have so far. Please share this with all your Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx wielding friends that also want an awesome minimalist case to keep the best physical attributes of this device visible and tactile.
i would love a bumper case like the case-mate hula for the Moto X. Don't have high hopes though
Turbo here, would like to have the option.

I would buy an affordable, minimal bumper case the first chance I got.

I'd buy several.
Resounding yes
I would definitely buy a bumper case. I just need it to cover up the corners I've already dinged from when I dropped my phone
The Turbo/Maxx is already on the thick side as far as high end phones go- I really want a case that adds little to no thickness.
I would most certainly buy a bumper case. I'm okay with added bulk on the top/bottom and sides, as long as the phone itself doesn't increase it's width.
I would love to have a bumper case for my turbo.
I crudely cut up a Tudia case into a bumper. It was meant for the non-nylon version so it didn't fit anyway.
It gets the job done but I would much rather have a legitimate and better made bumper.
(not sure why the photo is sideways)
Please, send an email to [email protected] and asks for a moto droid turbo/ maxx bumper... they need 1000 orders to produce them. Here is a video of their bumper for iphone https://www.yahoo.com/tech/the-rhinoshield-bumper-and-the-iphone-i-could-not-111444363399.html
I sent them an email, I hope others do the same.

Does anybody have this? It looks really sharp (and I'm about to order one) but the only thing holding me back is the top/bottom. It looks like it doesn't cover it properly. Whenever I've dropped a phone and got some scuffs, it's always the top and bottom that take the brunt of it.
If you have this case, could you post some pics? Or provide some insight to the protection? Here is a link to it on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Incipio-MT-143-Feather-Motorola-Bionic/dp/B005DQF7TU
i had this case for a few weeks now. i'm pretty happy with it. phone sits nice and snug inside the case with a nice feel to the material and barely adds any dimensions it.
the front extends a bit past the edge of the phone so that its raised off your glass if put face down. the top and bottom is exposed but if it falls on any flat surface the edges of the case sticks out far enough that it'll hit the case first and not the phone itself. not sure if the case will pop out on a fall and don't intend to find out, but it fits snug enough that sometimes it takes the back battery door off when i remove the case. screen protector that comes with the case is complete junk.

Thanks for the link, just checked it out. I'm still torn. I absolutely LOVE the look and sleekness of it, but I know as soon as I buy it I'll drop my phone and scuff the top. This would anger me
I dropped my x2 three days after purchase and scuffed it all up right at the top. I haven't let this Bionic be naked once - it was covered before I left the store.
It's a damn shame too - because this phone is sexy naked.

I have the Incipio Feather and didn't like how the phone was exposed on the bottom either. I also didn't like the feel of the phone at the bottom with the case on.
I bought a couple Cruzer Lite cases instead and really like them. Check Amazon.
I bought the incipio feather a few weeks ago and its by far the best case out there if you like to keep the curve of the phone and you dont want to add an siginificant bulk

Which Cruzer Lite cases did you get?
I for one, love the Feather case...but alas, I contacted Incipio and they have no plans to make one for the extended battery. Does anyone know of a case that is similar to the feather, but fits the extended battery?

I'm not a big big fan of cases. I had a Droid 1 with the Body Glove that gave really good protection but it made it really bulky and hard to get in and out of pockets. When I upgraded to the Droid X, I just got the full body invisiShield, which worked great but did not protect against drops and dents
The Bionic with the plastic full cover backing, I didn't think a full body invisiShield would have been the right choice to go (actually my friend has it and he has huge peeling problems). When I shopping amazon, I came across this TPU case, and for $9, it was worth a shot... It seriously was the best buy I could've ever made. When its on your phone, it is solid. It doesn't feel flexible and I haven't dropped my Bionic, yet. The backing is a nice matte black -- it has a very natural feel (like you don't have a case). It does add SLIGHT girth/weight, but its not at all cumbersome. The Bionic fits real snug and it lips around the edges in the front (you can set it down face down and the screen doesn't touch the table -- this is a huge convenience, one example would having your phone drop flat on the front side, given that there aren't any rocks or pointed objects (but if you dropped it even w/o the case, well same story...).
The best part, it fits in the Cardock PERFECTLY. Downside, it does not fit on the desk dock... but when I'm at home or at my desk... I rock my Bionic naked... and the case is flexible, so its easy to take off/on.

Thanks for the post - good read.
I researched the case you spoke of and it's very similar to the Verizon gel case I currently have. It definitely provides the right amount of protection, but I'm looking to get that "sexy naked feel" the unprotected Bionic provides.
Here is what I'm thinking. I'm going to order the matte black phantomskinz skin. Cover the top and bottom (the only parts exposed from the incipio feather case) and then rock the incipio. Might be slightly ghetto, but I'm sure I can get it looking good. That will give me the lightweight feel of the incipio case with some protection from nicks and scratches on the top and bottom.
I'll post pics when I make it happen.
I would definitely invest a little more for the balance of sexy and protection, this was just the quick fix for now but its turning into a permanence since it really tops the silicon gels.. pictures just don't do it justice.

I've just become a huge fan of TPU after picking this up. I'm not a big fan of high gloss or clear/patterned designs, the matte black is definitely a sexy finish.

You sure love your TPU. Lol. Few questions:
Have you seen the Verizon gel case that speak of?
How similar/different is it? Size wise? Obviously one is matte and one is glossy.
Just curious, cause that's what I rock, and from pics it seems the matte vs. glossy is the only real noticeable difference.

Yeah, when the Droid X came out, another friend of mine got the Verizon case at the store. The ones we are talking about are the silicone gel cases that are really flexible and rubbery. I would almost describe it as sticky as over time it gets softer and attracts more lint. These slip off the phone easily sometimes. The width that it adds is pretty minimal since it is a floppy material, and a hard shell case is just the opposite in that respect. The hard shell cases in my experience fit the phone real nice, and are not floppy at all, and add minimal width. When you drop a hard shell though, the hardshell cracks over time and it doesnt really distribute the shock. But its to your preference and likelihood of dropping your phone I guess. I'm just really backing how cheap the TPU cases are and how reliable the material is. It seriously is something you have to see to beleive. Let me know how the incipio is!

Update..
I just noticed my desk dock had a "padding"... it totally fits with this case on!
Got this case today.
Initial impressions:
*Absolutely love the thinness of it. It feels like I don't have a case on. Looks sharp.
CONS:
*No top and bottom protection (I knew this before purchase)
*Back gets smudgey

You know what I just realized? When I wrote this post, my phone was in a TPU case. Lol.
I got the smoky argyle one, and definitely loved the appearance and lightweight feel of it. I thought it felt a little janky by the power button (was pretty loose) and there were some leftover nubs from where it was cut - clearly visible against the black background of the screen.
I got some black sandpaper and sanded it down, but it left the case looking like garbage. I got it for $2.95 + $2.95 shipping, so I'm not complaining. I might end up ordering another.
I just got this case, iridescent red one, I agree the top and bottom is exposed but the look and feel of it is very nice. It is very sexy looking as well, doesn't cover anything that shouldn't be covered like holes etc.
The main reason I got this one was that someone said it would fit in the Moto car dock, and it does. However, if I hit a bump some times it pops up justttttt enough to stop charging. Pop it back down and it stays for a while again.
Funny no one else ever mentions this but I live in Florida, and every single black droid I have owned (1, 2, 2global, and now bionic) overheats when going on long trips and using Nav. Can't charge it when it overheats. I wanted to go with Iridescent Red to maybe reflect some of that heat...hope it works.
Also, red and black just go together....
If I choose to get a case for my nexus, it will definitely be a rugged case. I like the idea of being protected if I drop it. And I like the look, style and feel of most rugged cases. Anyone know of any that will be available soon after launch? I really like gumdrop for the kindle fire. Also like trident, ballistic, Griffin etc...
Sent from my Droid X using Tapatalk 2
I have been asking around with the manufacturers and have not gotten an answer yet. My first bets would be Seidio (Seidio Active Case) and then possibly Otterbox. Ballistic makes a good case but is sometimes a little late to the party. If I hear anything back I will update the thread.
Additionally something to think about... the Otterbox case for the Kindle Fire cost $54.99 on Amazon right now. That is a quarter the cost of the Nexus 7. I always use tough cases for my products however at this price point I am going for a screen protector and the Asus colored case. I use my tablet every day to keep flight publications with me. If I happen to drop it in a year or so I can just get another. With the expected sales numbers I bet they will be very easy to fond on craigslist in about a year.
Pelican case! Virtually indestructible.
Otter said "No?," Ballistic "Perhaps?"
I plan on using the N7 (if Google will ever actually get it to me) for some work in the field, so I need a rugged, semi-hardened case. The Gumdrop offerings seem "clunky," so they hold no appeal. Specifically interested in some analog to the Otterbox Defender, so I can use it without having to open "the lid."
Went ahead and contacted Otter, and this was the response I got from 'em:
Dear Ryan,
Unfortunately, we do not have plans to develop a case for that device at this moment in time. I would recommend keeping an eye on our website, as it will have the most up to date information for every new release. Please feel free to reply to this email if you have any additional questions.

I would doubt it, the Fire is a good 8mm shorter and a bit fatter.
Anyone know if there are any updates on a rugged case? Looking for a case so i can worry a little less about my 4 year old playing his games on it. The wife has the Otterbox Defender case for her EVO 4G LTE and it works well for him when he wants to play his games. Even a thick rubber case would be nice as well. Maybe with even thicker corners as well.
I emailed Trident Case. They said they don't have any plans for an N7 case atm.
I know I don't have a lot of posts, but I've been a long time lurker and have been assisted a great deal by these forums(Hince the screen name: Got the original Droid X on pre-order).
I'm having a difficult time finding accesories for my new Note II (just received it Wednesday). I want to get this protected ASAP as this one will be with me for a long time. I need something that could give it a chance to survive a fall from a table to a concrete floor. Obviously I'll be as careful as possible, but I need to prepare for the worst.
I'm familiar with Otterbox, and while this was my knee-jerk reaction of a choice, I want something that might be at least a little different and maybe have a little style without looking like I'm going to a rave with how much neon is thrown on it. Plus I've read all of the reviews on the built in screen protector being garbage, and I don't want to be forced to buy a screen protector with a case that provides one because the built in one is garbage.
I saw that UAG is coming out with one, but their design is disappointing now that they went with the 'iPad' design as opposed to the iPhone/GS3 design (this would probably be my pick if they did).
I like the idea of the Sweet Armor case, but $70 is a bunch of money for a bumper. I have been looking around, and I think if I could find something like LunaTik's Taktik case, I would probably jump all over it.
Any and all help with a direction towards a case that will be tough enough to handle a warehouse floor and a toddler would be great. Thank you in advance!

I assume @rbiter is talking about the Complete Ultra dba case -- the ultra case is a normal tpu style case w/o the exoskeleton cross-member.
In that case (no pun intended) you can find a whole bunch of pictures/opinions from S3 owners of that case in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919350&highlight=dba
I got it for my gf's S3 and she loves it.
She has never dropped the phone though.
I saw you mentioned that you don't want to go with Otterbox, and one of the reasons was that you didn't want to deal with the screen-protector -- that others didn't like.
Otterbox makes a "Commuter" case, that, unlike the "Defender", does not include the built in screen-protector, or come as a two piece install. But, it does come with a seperate screen protector. You can check out a thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036565
However, I guess that doesn't solve the problem of "style"....
I'll agree there; the Otterbox line has become stale, but is still an extremely viable solution for protection.

Thanks for the suggestions Brad.
I had a Commuter on my Droid X. It may end up being the one I go with, but I figured there we be so much more of an evolution since then on cases for 'premium' phones. I wouldn't mind spending the money for a good looking case that would also provide superior protection. I'm not going the folio route because I just don't like the idea on a phone that I use as a camera regularly (work and home).
I've got the sweet armor case. It's disappointing. The GPS suffers a bit though I didn't notice a reduction in phone signal. 2 big disappointments were the feel. It has very sharpe edges which makes holding it uncomfortable and the top edge hurt my ear when talking. The second issue is it makes the phone wider which combined with the sharp edges makes the phone harder to use 1 handed. For the money it's not worth it at all.

If i'm going with that, I have to find a Best Buy around me that still has one in stock. I have 2 Reward Zone Certs. I need to use. I may have to track one of those down or the Defender just as an expensive carry over until another one of the suggested is available.
I ordered my cases from amazon.co.uk and amazon.de since I live in Europe. They are also available in amazon.com.

I ended up with Cimo Motorola Moto X Back Case Flexible TPU Cover since I went with a black back. I picked it up on Amazon. I went with black, but it also comes in blue, red, clear, pink, purple, and white. The only complaint I have about it is there is no holes for the power and volume so it hides the customized buttons. Instead the buttons are part of the case. My solution was to just cut the holes. If done right you can't even tell.
I got the snap case from Motorola because I saw the review videos and it looked nice. I got it in the smoked clear color. 3 problems. 1st is price. $30 is a lot for what you are getting here. Not a whole lot of protection but enough for peace of mind. 2nd is that whatever coating they put on this thing is slippery as hell and it hasn't been mentioned in any of the reviews I've seen so far. It actually makes it uncomfortable to use one handed because you have to grip it so tightly. 3rd is that when I normally hold a phone one handed I put my pinkie under the bottom to stabilize the phone. On this case there are sharp edges where it opens up around the charging port right where I would normally put my pinkie. For something this much I would've expected little things like this to have been taken into account. It does fit the phone really well and doesn't add a whole lot of bulk which is what I was looking for.

Neither the diztronic or the reveal collect lint. Wouldn't know about the tudia because it was only on my phone for 3 seconds before I vowed to never use it gain.

I've tried to find reviews for the pro case that motorola is offering, but I haven't had any luck.
Any ideas as to what is the best option out there for our phone while keeping the good looks?

I actually use the pro shell case from Motorola, it's been pretty good so far. Feels good in hand and the rubberized edge covers the entire edge of the phone. The phone fits nicely in the case and it doesn't add any bulk to it. I'd suggest it over the snap case that they are offering on their site.
i bought http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DMOV802/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and i love it. it has a kickstand which is the main reason for buying it. it offers easy of use. you can take it off and on easily and the rubber case isnt the sticky rubber that seems to pull your pocket out everytime you take your phone out.

It's ugly, feels bulky compared to the Diztronic TPU case, and just has a very cheap feel to it. I only ordered it because it looks like the Incipio Frequency case that I had for my iPhone (it's a blatant ripoff) but it is nowhere near the quality. If you are looking for a decent TPU case, the Diztronic is the way to go.

I bought the dizronic before the X was available, love it but it doesn't play nice with the skinomi I have on. Thanks for helping me keep my pile of unused cases from getting any bigger.

That's what I'm here for. Anyone who knows me here knows I have a problem with cases. I already have 5 for the Moto X, and I have a few more on order. The funny thing is, I really don't like using a case with this phone so I have no idea what drives me to keep buying them haha. I had 30+ for my iPhone, about the same for my One X, maybe 25 for my HTC One.... yeah. haha
If you want to get a really good case, help me pester Urban Armor Gear into making one for us. Best case on the market, hands down. Post on their FB wall about making a case for the Moto X. https://www.facebook.com/UrbanArmorGear
Has anyone who has gotten a case noticed a change/muffling in the rattling sound that seems to occur when the phone vibrates? I'd be interested in knowing if having a case on it somehow minimizes the sound in anyway.
Starting the thread as we find Droid turbo cases. Case-mate already has their site up.

Lol can't see the capacitive keys in the front-facting picture of the case. Wish it really looked like that
With the bulk of this phone and the kevlar back I'm hoping someone simply makes a bumper. Give the screen a slight raise from a fall as well as the camera.
Cheers to hoping!
I already found quite a few more yesterday. My thread is in the General section.
Seidio if you see this, make a CONVERT case! Please! Incipio Feather too.
The casemate cases have coating that peels.
Curious to see what this flip cover case is (file in system dump for a case)

BEAUTIFUL!
Still need to see if all of these cases fit both sizes of the Turbo.

Yeah, I too am wondering how they are going to handle that. I fondled both the "MFG" and the ballistic nylon-backed phones briefly today and they didn't feel any different. I can't imagine four different Moto flipcase SKU's between the two phone sizes and the two case materials, but I might not be trying hard enough.
-e- I looked at some of the press photos and I now see the the cloth-backed phone's camera lens is definitely set further back in. Less than 1mm difference between the two, according to Moto's spec sheet. it doesn't seem like enough to justify how deep the camera appears in some of the photos.

Yes, I'm very excited about the Lifeproof case. They've never done a case for any phone besides the iPhone and Galaxy S series.

I hate Vzw and Otterbox for bringing out the droid turbo case for day 1 (for a phone on a single carrier) and refusing to bring one out for the Nexus 6 (on all carriers). Sadly, this does make me more likely to get a droid turbo even though I think it's kinda ugly.

That's the advantage of real carrier support. Verizon is probably Otterbox's biggest customer so they have the leverage to get Otterbox to make a case for their beloved Droid series. Obviously, they're more interested in getting accessories for an exclusive before another device.

That commuter case is not great. Looks extra bulky like the droid maxx version....

I've used several otterboxes in the past on various devices and I'm just bored of their styling now. A case is a case, but be a bit more innovative with the design in my opinion. I'm currently still digging the Spigen Neo Hybrid in blue I've got for my Note 3, might lean towards spigen again if they come out with something for the turbo. The lifeproof is okay, but the screen smears would bug me too much and I much prefer a glass screen protector so that's also out of the question then. Decisions....
I was actually surprised how many cases they had available. I went ahead and ordered a incipio dual pro case with the phone. It is nice having choices at launch.
Did anyone grab the Incipio DualPro case from Verizon? If so does it fit the Ballistic Nylon version and how is it?
Thanks
I'm using the case from verizon with the kickstand and belt clip. Never use the belt clip but its a thin case and the kickstand is really handy. Had the same styled case for my MaxxHD and loved it

I bought the incipio dual pro with my Ballistic Nylon. Fits great, not to tight and not to loose. I have used multiple dual pros before but usally return because they atract lint like no other. It seems like they changed the composition of the soft rubber and it no longer atracts lint. Over all Iike it and its a good heavy duty case.
