For those with the Diztronic case for the 64GB version, if you lay the phone face down on a table or other surface, does the case provide a little lift so the Turbo's screen is not touching the table or surface?

I can confirm this! I have the limited edition BN 64GB version. The case does have about a 1.5mm lip all the way around to keep the screen off the surface.

Now if Google would just fix Hangouts to stop vibrating for all messages regardless if setting is on or off... I would be completely set! :p

My feeling is a bumper will have to be fairly chunky, at least at the ends. That curved back will require it, or else the back of the phone will lay on the table.

But you get so much crap (lint) stuck to the bn without something covering the back. Which is also why I like the puregear, I can see the bn but it won't get dirty

Got my Seidio Surface case today. Same good quality as always from them. Only thing I am worried about is the "bridge" across the volume/power button is very thin and has a bit of flexing to it. Hopefully it holds up. I've yet to have a problem with Seidio in 3 generations of cases from them

I've tried the commuter and tudia cases and not liking either much. I mostly always use a case, but this phone(BN) feels exceptionally durable to me. I have been going bareback for about a month and there are no noticeable wear signs on the unit. I've dropped it a couple times, once on a tile floor and it has taken the use with no problem. It feels great in hand and I intend to continue without a case unless something really catches my eye. It's always been a mystery to me that we buy these $500 plus devices and then cover them with cheap plastic. :confused:

I also have a Note 4 and would not feel nearly as comfortable without a case. It stays in a UAG hard case.

I got the Tech21 case for the Droid Turbo because it fits the ballistic nylon version of the Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx. Not all "Droid Turbo" cases fit the ballistic nylon version. Most are made for the smooth kevlar versions, while the ballistic nylon version is a hair thicker, due to it's more complex 3D texture.



Thes pics below are off the Verizon site, but I have the twin of the Droid Turbo, the Moto Maxx. My phone (above) has no Verizon or Droid logo, of course. But the same cases fit the Moto Maxx. If it fits the ballistic nylon version of the Droid Turbo, it will fit the Moto Maxx. It's just that most "Droid Turbo" cases are not built to fit the BALLISTIC NYLON version of the Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx. :rolleyes:


I had a Tech21 case for my Nexus 5 and loved it. So, I'm glad Tech21 also makes a case that will fit the ballistic nylon version of the Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx.

Verizon online and local store was sold out of the Tech21 cases, so I had to resort to eBay when one "OEM Tech21 Moto Turbo case" popped up for sale.

Before then I bought half a dozen cases off eBay/Amazon, but was not satisfied with most of them. I found only a couple that actually fit the ballistic version, the others I threw away. Even of those two (prior to finding the Tech21), only one of those cases had side buttons that were actually responsive to the buttons of the phone.

After I bought all those that didn't fit, now some of those seller have warnings "Does not fit ballistic variant". :rolleyes:

Just received my Seidio Surface case for my kevlar Turbo yesterday. As you can see it has a bit of a lip to it, to protect the screen, which is nice. The pictures make it seem huge but it's not that big of a difference, just enough to give some protection. The kickstand is a pretty nice feature, not sure how much I'm going to use it but it's definitely cool. It's a nice, smooth hard plastic, but has a quality matte-feeling finish to it, not too slick. I thought it'd be more rubbery, but it's still very nice. I'd definitely recommend it. The volume rocker and power buttons are just a little more difficult to press due to the case's added width, but it's definitely not a deal breaker. I almost wish it had some cover for those buttons but I think the fact that it's just wider will protect them pretty well. If anyone wants another shot of the case from another angle just let me know :)

I just want it to protect the edges from scratches and add a little lip on the front in case I feel like laying it face down, to show of the bn ?

Puregear case clear back is what you're looking for. Until a bumper comes out though I think I'll still stick with the puregear
