I get like 10,000,000 hits at amazon (well maybe not quite that many) and would like to buy a nice looking case for the HD2 that is nicer than the rubbery default case it came with.
I looked at the HD2 accessory forum but its dead over there. Can someone throw out a couple quick suggestions?
I'd prefer a thin flip case like on the S3 but the only ones I see seem to flip from the top; not from the side.
I want something slim that doesn't look like a cheap $3 case from overseas..after putting JB on my HD2 it looks so nice I want to compliment it with a decent looking case.
Thanks for any suggesions

Take a look at Noreve cases. Don't know if they make a flip case but they do make a quality product (albeit, not cheap)

I am looking for a clear TPU case, something akin to cruzerlite, only no textures, drawings, or anything on it. I really don't like the way matte feels in my hand, so I'd like it to be glossy. I had a cruzerlite for my galaxy nexus, but the back of the Nexus 4 is so pretty that I want a clear one Unfortunately either cruzerlite doesn't offer one, or it's not listed on amazon.
Even if they did, I don't think the clear ones have a fully transparent backing (rather it is frosted.)
I want this too! But so far the best I've found is a two piece hard case.

Well, other than "In stock on February 20, 2013" absolutely nothing, I'm definitely gonna grab me one!
I've been looking for a tpu transparent case too, I've seen clear ones are with the s on the back,
the link above looks like the one to get, images doesn't help alot as they look photoshoped
you would of thought they make a clear one to begin with so you can show off the back while protecting the side
Hmm...the description is a tad bit vague. It indicates that it "snaps" on, but the soft cases don't "snap" so to speak. Just wondering if it has that gel feel to it, I don't like matte cases.

The black is TPU
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/02/1...-case-clear-back-shows-your-sparkly-goodness/
The Ringke Fusion is a mix of TPU and PC – TPU is the black part for bumper-style protection, PC is the clear back. The TPU portion has what feels like a soft, almost matte finish and does not give off the rubbery feel like other TPU cases.

Hmm...I don't really like matte finish. Or at least, I like how the glass on the phone itself feels, or something equally smooth.
keep in mind, all transparent cases. be it silicon or tpu, colourize and end up in an awful dirty brown/yellow look within a few weeks. Thats a reason for me never to get a transparent case again, despite the cool looks.
Hmm...good point.
Just noticed this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AJNM57O/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Since I liked the cruzerlite case for my gnex, I just ordered one. Seems clear enough, I guess. Saw one complaint of yellowing on clear ones for other phones, seems not all of them do this though.
For $13, I'm not going to complain much if it turns yellow after 6 months.
keep in mind because of the glass back of the phone that the tpu will touch and will create a "wet spot" look. I'll try to find a video of that issue later when I'm at a desktop computer
I wanted one too at first until I saw those marks. I think hard clear plastics are the best alternative
I've been looking for a belt holster with a clip/fastener on the top that can be used without a case. Something like this, but obviously for the M:

I haven't seen anything, I'm thinking probably because this is a fairly low-volume phone. Does anyone know of one?
I think this is what your looking for...or close to it. This one looks like you have to already own the seidio case.
Take a look http://www.shopandroid.com/seidio-active-holster/4AA13413.htm
Thanks for the link, but I'm looking for one you can use without a case. The pictures make it look like that case is bigger than the Verizon version, which is what I have now.

I'm still waiting on my "being Built" Moto Maker X Pure. Bamboo and black.
This phone having such customization potential, I'm curious what the majority of you are doing about cases. I've always used a case, but I want to show of my wood back and color choices.. and personally, I'm kind of hoping that it's tough enough to risk using naked daily.
What do you think?
Oh, and I'm likely to keep this for a long time and reselling is not something I'm worried about.
I would go with a clear case, still shows the wood and protects the phone.
I'm either going to get a transparent/translucent case or a good quality bumper. I ended up going for the soft back rather than the leather so I'm more likely to get the case.
Personally, wouldn't keep the phone naked. At the very least, use the provided bumper for some sort of protection.

Right now I'm just using the included bumper and a clear skin on the back. It works, but I'll probably move to a clear case once more become available. The clear skin looks fairly good, but it does make the bamboo look a little too shiny.

Where did you get the clear skin for the rear? How does it hold up on the curves of the device?

Xtremeguard... They're having like a 90% off sale. Its OK. Doesn't cover from edge to edge...which is fine, otherwise the bumper would probably peel it off. It will protect it from scratches for now though. Adds a little grip, but not as much as I had hoped.

Cool. Thanks for the info and the quick reply.
Awesome, thank you all for the replies. I keep feeling like I won't enjoy the phone unless it's naked, but I know you're right about protection. I may do a clear case... or a rubber bumper when more are released. I saw this one from another post in a different forum: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0154AQ3QK...colid=MDU2I2LQJJCF&coliid=INJ1ZBZYSLR2L&psc=1 looks decent.

I had that case when I had my Nexus 6. I loved it. Felt great in the hand. That's what I was thinking of going with.

Ya, if I remember correctly it was a little difficult on the N6 but not terrible. I'd think it'd be OK on this phone.
I bought this one
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012Y81GXA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
It sais to preorder but i ordered it and it came in the mail already, dont know if they only made a few or something, you could always email the seller and ask.
Im extremely impressed with it. I bought it as a cheap case to put on till i have more options. My only criticism was that it was a little loose on the sides, so what did i do ? I boiled it! thats right, i looked it up online and people boil tpu cases to shrink them a little. I boiled it in water for 3 minutes. it fits alot more snug now, still not perfect but close enough
I went with an otterbox so my kids dont break my phone
FYI - I've had the included "bumper" on my MXPE almost continuously since I received it.
I removed the bumper yesterday and, to my dismay, found nicks/pits in the longer metal edges of the phone. It looks like the anodized coating has worn away to show the brighter metal beneath (I have the dark grey/titanium metal color). I also noticed upon receipt that there was a slight chip in the finish at the edge of the SIM card door.
Fortunately my MotoMaker re-do unit is on its way to me (decided to go with wood instead of soft-touch), but I'm somewhat disappointed with the robustness of the metal finish. I almost wonder if this is why the "bumper" was packaged with the phone - though it looks like it might've done more harm than good by trapping scratchy debris.
Bottom line - I usually carry my phone naked except with a glass screen protector, but I'm wondering if this MXPE is going to need at least an edge bumper.
(I haven't fully scoured the forums to see if this is a known problem, but I certainly hope the finish on my re-do unit is more durable.)
I'm going naked, I have moto care so I think I will go naked with this phone. So often cases seem to cause more wear than without so I will keep it "pure"

Im trying that too, but I am only a month in and I already am seeing spots on the back where it seems that the varnishing is being removed? Have you noticed this yourself?
See-through case, fits like a glove - not loose. The best combination for me personally, the phone is still 100% visible but protected to some degree. Also I find soft silicone cases add more grip to what would otherwise be a slippery phone.
I-blason clear case from Amazon. Very happy with it.

I'm currently using the i-blason clear case as well, and I'll second it as good option. I had decent drop onto a hard surface over the weekend, and the phone was no worse for the wear. I also have the Casemate naked tough case coming as well, which should be even better. I'm someone that likes to have a variety of cases (although with this phone I'm probably going to stick with clear ones), so I will probably end up getting a bumper or two as well. I don't think the included bumper is quite as bad as a lot of people said it was, but it fits kind of loose and I can see it breaking with a good drop. As much as I enjoy going naked with the phone, I didn't get Moto care, and the wooden back I got is fairly slippery, and I don't trust myself not drop it occasionally.
I have noticed that the clear bumper that came with the phone has started to scratch the very edges of the rounded glass. I'm going naked now. I don't use screen protectors and generally don't use cases or bumpers. I've never had a problem with scratching my devices. I also never resell my phones (I usually gift them to family members, friends, etc.), so slight scratches aren't a deal breaker for me.
I love this phone in its bare form :good:
I'm completely NOT a fan of glass/glastic/shiny backs on my phones, so I was wondering if anybody has seen a replacement matte/semi-rubber back cover for the Samsung A40? I've seen millions of original looking shiny ones on Aliexpress and ebay but nothing that looks a bit more like the back of a Kindle. Any ideas? (that don't involve sandpaper!)
A bit late maybe but you could apply a skin to it's back.

Actually the back has turned out to be fine. Not as nice as a matte or more rubbery plastic, but certainly not slippy like glass or ceramic. No need for a cover, always use a dedicated pocket kids!
