Does not work with my DROID TURBO in Ballistic Nylon

So I went to go look at the different cases that Verizon was selling for the Turbo. I selected "DROID TURBO in Ballistic Nylon" I couldn't help but notice that EVERY SINGLE CASE SAID "Does not work with my DROID TURBO in Ballistic Nylon"
Hopefully this is just a bug but if not I guess if you choose ballistic nylon you don't get to use a case

The ballistic one doesn't need a case.

I don't know why someone would buy a ballistic nylon model and put a case on it.

I want a case for ballistic nylon. Still need to protect the front and sides

The dimensions of the ballistic nylon phone are different than the metalized glass fiber version. Hopefully cases will become available to accommodate you soon.
I'm not into cases for my phones and the ballistic nylon coupled with the one time free cracked screen replacement put me at ease. But I can understand why some people want one.

Otterbox defender and commuter both fit the 64GB ballistic nylon.

I can confirm that the defender fits the 64gb nylon edition.

I have the tech 21 case sold by Verizon on my ballistic nylon turbo fits fine.

Our company is in heavy construction, we ordered Droid Turbos (64gb nylon) w/ Verizon Shell Holster Combo with Kickstand (really need the holster)
Will find out Tuesday if they fit.

Fits fine and dandy. I just picked up a pair of the Turbo 64s in ballistic nylon and got this case for my wife as she wanted a case.

Good to know, we use these cases on our razr maxx hds and they are bulletproof.

I've used these cases since I can't even remember when. They are indeed rock solid and bulletproof. Great texture, excellent grip and about as thin as a case can get.

Incipio Duallayer Wraparound
Incipio Duallayer wraparound case fits the 64gb nylon perfectly. And to the fellas that said "why get a case on the ballistic nylon version?" well the ballistic nylon will fray, and probably quickly. its almost just fabric glued to a back. Its not stiched perfectly and it frays at the edges out of the box. I hate the feel of a case, its a shame but im leasing the phone so i gotta protect it.

Word of warning with this specific case on the ballistic nylon. I used it on mine for a few days, when I took it off I noticed four imprints on the back of the phone.

Tech21 with D3O
I have the ballistic nylon and the Tech21 TPU case with D3O is great. It is grippy, very slim, transparent, and has this amazing shock absorbing material. Look it up and you will be amazed.

I can't confirm it actually fits, but the LifeProof case shows its pictures with what looks like the Ballistic Nylon version inside. Can anyone confirm it actually fits?

It fits fine, bought a lifeproof case yesterday for my nylon droid, but returned it a few hours later for a tech 21 case. It was just too big, didn't like the back, home, and recent's buttons were partially obstructed, plus it cuts the volume drastically. Might pick one up next spring when I start kayaking again, but for me it's not a daily driver

They fit. I tried all of them today on mine. Also, it is the thinnest of what they had too. Only reason I put a case on it is because to me the nylon is sooooo slippery. I can't seem to hold it. Course I am coming from a Note 3.

Yes nylon is pretty slippery. Like the holster too although its a two handed removal.

Decent case for the Turbo?

So have any of you found any decent cases for the Turbo?
I've been using mine naked for now, because the one they had at Verizon was just too damned bulky.
I'm pretty confident about the nylon back being OK. Ideally I'd just like a bumper-sttle rubberised case that only goes around the edges.
Any thoughts?

I picked up 3 different cases to give them a hands on test.
Moto Flip Case
High Gloss Silicon
Incipio Dualpro
So far the flip case sucks unless you are using your phone like a text book. For people who like folios its an amazing case!
Incipio is too thick for my liking and makes the screen feel very sunk into the phone. Also makes it very hard to drag apps to the edge of the screen when moving them if you know what I mean.
So far the best case in my opinion happens to be the cheapest case. If you want slim and close-to-naked feel with good grip and reliable impact protection I would get the Verizon High Gloss Silicon case.

Thanks for the repky!
Too bad that high gloss silicon case covers the back. Would have been perfect as just a bumper around the edges.
I have found a case mate bumper plus shell, but the shell seems optional (not sure). Too bad it is clear. Would have liked it in black.

Praying for a Diztronic TPU in the near future.

I am pretty careful with my phones and will be using Turbo Ballistic Nylon mostly naked since it just looks too good. Should I find myself doing anything beyond the ordinary I will use a TPU as I do not want to add anymore bulk.

Think about the effort Motorola put into making this phone not need a case. I literally only put a case on mine for piece of mind. If my brain allowed for it I would use this thing naked. Feels perfect and looks to good.

Im liking it naked too. The nylon fiber backing is a bit slippery, but not too bad.
Im thinking the plastic corners are susceptible to damage during a pavement drop though, which is why a bumper type case would be ideal IMHO.

I agree, got my silicon today, not too bulky, and should be just enough drop protection. Sad it also hides the nylon, but worth protecting the corners.

Got pics of the Silicon case?

I'll take pics right now

I have the same silicon case and I love it so far. Also have a tempered glass screen protector for when I drop it.

I have the Tech21 Impactology Classic Mesh for Droid Turbo - Smokey. It's a really good, quality feeling case, and being slightly opaque still lets you see the phone. It's a nice case, but not very slim, and it makes the phone wider with its side impact bumpers. I will probably be getting one of the frosted tpu cases when they come out next week.
This is my first phone since my Blackberry Curve, back in the days before android, that isn't black. I got the red, and I wanna see it, lol. I just dot trust myself to do that. The last phone I did that with had a shattered screen, and none of my phones since then have shared the same fate.

I bought the Lifeproof case and had instant buyer's remorse. I had the Lifeproof case for the iPhone 4S and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately this case isn't as snug, adding bulk to an already bulky phone. The case makes the bottom buttons harder to push. I am going to give it to the end of the week to see if my feeling's change. I really like how secure it feels in my hands versus holding the phone without a case, and the piece of mind it gives me goes a long way as well.

Otterbox commuter. I drop my phone a lot, so I need a bigger case, but not so big that I can't put the phone in my pocket. I had one on my 1st gen moto x and it survived every drop. Fits the ballistic nylon model perfectly. It sucks I have to cover up the ballistic nylon, but I'd rather not have to pay for a new device if I drop it.

Otterbox Commuter. It's not a lot of extra bulk, plus it covers the I/O ports nicely. Combined it with the Nite-Ize Steelie, and their Clip Case Sidways XL.

Where did you get the tempered glass protector?

I got mine at verizon while I was buying my phone. I'm not sure what brand it is.

I like mine naked, because of the cool nylon back. But as others have said, if they came out with a 'bumper guard' type of protection (i.e. went just around the edges) I'd buy that in a flash...
What I am really looking for, though, is a pouch-style holster case. Something I can just slide my Turbo in and out with ease; but it is protected when in the pouch. Right now I am using my old Cellet Bergamo leather case that I used with my Droid Razr, which I really do like. The problem with the Turbo is that it's taller than the Razr so it doesn't quite fit vertically into the case (the top sticks out).
I've been looking around for another similar case (slightly larger) but it almost seems they don't exist. Anyone else know of something similar?

[Q] Would you buy a bumper case for your Droid Turbo?

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.
Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

I would buy an affordable, minimal bumper case the first chance I got.
Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

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.

Tough / Rugged Cases

Can anyone recommend a good tough/rugged case for the 2nd Gen LTE handset? (Which I assume is externally the same as the non-LTE one?) The ideal would be an Otterbox Defender style case, with an inner polycarbonate base with integral screen protector, and outer silicone bumper. Everything I'm seeing on Amazon UK has the polycarbonate on the outside.

I'll need one... I have one with policarbonate outside and the phone slips from everywhere its crazy

Cant say about rugged, but i found these two to be good:
Tudia Ultra Slim LITE TPU Bumper Protective Case for Motorola Moto G 2nd Gen 2014
Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit TPU Case for the New Moto G
Both have bumper protection. The top and lower portions have the hard material to protect against falls, and otherwise as well, the customers have praised the performance of the cases when their phones took a tumble.

Thanks. I went with another one, but it's silicone and I'm not happy with it. The wife is though, so that's that.
When it falls apart I'll probably go with one of those. I've had a Cruzerlite and it wasn't very robust, so I'll try the Tudia first off.

Question regarding case fitting - Serious

Ok, so I have the BN 64GB version of the turbo. Now, its obvious that the case options for this nylon version of this phone are limited compared to the other versions. My question is can I buy an OEM normal battery cover for my phone and ditch the nylon version and be able to use all of the cases that wouldn't normally fit with the stock cover on?

Nothing?

Yes, but not sure why you would want to do that. The ballistic nylon Quarks are really ballistic nylon + kevlar underneath. I own two of them. Whereas the "kevlar" verson is kevlar only. I prefer the double layer protection.
There are some ballistic nylon case options. I have several for me and my wife.

This one below is minimalist and snaps onto the back to protect the ballistic nylon back:

The red for ballistic nylon is not currently available, only the black. The black is what I currently have on my phone. The red I bought for my wife, but she likes the top "snap on" case better.
Look carefully at the description when ordering, to make sure you are getting the ballistic nylon version.

There's others I've bought but can't find them right now. Search for XT1225 cases (<click link and go through all the pages). Those are ballistic nylon only and fit the Droid Turbo ballistic nylon version.

Well the benefits to the ballistic nylon version are added protection, yes. However, the BN versions aesthetic qualities dnt really appeal to me after the thing keeps slipping out of my hands or sliding off of surfaces. It's been in a case for the majority of its life. And if I can't see the texture of the back then it doesn't really matter if I have the less exciting kevlar version. At least with the kevlar version I have no restrictions when it comes to case shopping. That's my reasoning.

I keep mine in a case too, as I saw reports about the ballistic nylon fraying. I want to keep it pristine for maximum re-sale value.
I have half a dozen cases that fit the ballistic nylon version, including a clear one.

Point is plenty are available if you know how to search. Here's some more! (for Droid Turbo Ballistic Nylon only)
While those I found are for the Droid Turbo Ballistic Nylon, since the XT1225 (sibling Quark) only comes in ballistic nylon, then if you also search for that model you know it will fit! If you search for Droid Turbo, you have to make sure it specifically says it's for the ballistic nylon version. If it doesn't say that, don't take a chance.

The snap-on the back (half case) my wife has on her phone gives the slimmest profile.
For my phone, the black Diztronic I'm using gives the best compromise of protection + slim profile.
My 2nd choice is the clear one.
The Tech21 gave the best protection but added too much bulk.

I have only found a few case options that are not available for ballistic nylon. I have the Tech21 case mentioned above and the Otterbox commuter and both fit fine. I also just picked up a CimoX last night http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Ballistic-Cimo-Premium-Flexible/dp/B00QPAQ1SE or was it a Vena http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-DROID-Turbo-Case-Protection/dp/B00T3O67RO/
