Does anyone know a good case with a kick stand? The most important features are just the kickstand and thinness. I know Casemate makes a great one, but it's way too thick.
This one seems okay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-FoldOut...ccessories&hash=item2eb8015e60#ht_2188wt_1163
But I'd have to make a slight modification for the microphone, and most importantly, I don't know if it will fit. I'm quite weary of any of these cases that can fit both the international and ATT versions.
I bought my GS2 on launch day and ATT had 4 different cases in the store. Case Mate was the only one offered with a kick stand but it felt cheap so I opted not to get it. There was a nice leather case but none of them fit the phone, lol. Guess those will be sent back.

try the casemate case...I know it looks cheap, but it has a kickstand and its hard rubber, so its decent for impact
Case
Thanks for the link and the info...I too got my SGSII on launch day and was disappointed at the lack of accessories and items available for the AT&T branded SGSII. I even have communicated with Body Glove about one of their cases (As I have been a fan of that one and used it on my Cappy and Infuse both) but they said they will not be producing a Body Glove case for our phone So I am going to try the above listed one and I will let you know. Maybe even post some screens and update the thread.

Awesome. Please do.
I use the casemate pop case with the kickstand, it's held up pretty well. Used one on my infuse previously as well.

I agree. Its no body glove, but it gets the job done.

I bought this today instead of the leather case...
Its definitely not as bulky as I thought it would be (previous experience with the thrill and infuse pop cases) and the kickstand works great!
It also fits real nicely. The leather case seemed a little too tight and that it would require some effort to put in properly

Had trouble verifying my Paypal account for some reason. I ended up paying more at Amazon for the case. Ended up costing $8.90 cause of NY tax.

I've had this for about 3 days now. I think its called Minisuit
Pros: Thin, light, tight fit, good kickstand, cheap, quick delivery
Cons: no hole for secondary mic, generic micro usb rechargers have trouble given cutout (stock cable works fine)
Happy enough with it for now.

Yeah, it's called Minisuit. I ordered it via Amazon.
Luckily it's TPU and not a hard case so I can make that second opening.

I was considering that one, but hard cases are more difficult to cut the mic opening.
ny gs2 doesn't say Samsung or att on front.... only says galaxy S on back cover... is that supposed to be like that
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Ok, I got the case.
Doesn't fit 100%.
The bottom in particular, but it's barely noticeable. The top mic needs to be cut out some more, which shouldn't be too difficult since it's not plastic.
Case actually looks a lot better than I expected. The kickstand is very flimsy, which I expected. Once you put the stand up, don't put any pressure on it. It's very likely to just snap off. The power button becomes pretty stiff, too.
They also ran out of minisuit keychain screen cleaners. They said if I want one, email them about how I feel my order is "incomplete without one," and they'll send one when they have more stock.
Kind of a weird way to make us word it.
Either way, I'd recommend this if you need a very sleek and thin case that doubles as a flimsy kickstand.

This case is for the DX and im wondering if it would be fine on a Dx2? Ive heard that most products (e.g. battery and some docks) work on both.
Am I safe with this one?

Thanks, Ive already ordered it.
Take a look at the Trident cases..I have the Otterbox's put them back in the box, and now in storage..the hard buttons are even harder..the frame is to close to the screen, in portriat mode, the Q & P keys are difficult to reach..I now have the Trident Kraken2 Blue /Red on two of my DroidX2's and a Cyclops on one of my DroidX's and about to order a CyclopsII for my fourth phone..I'd be glad to post pictures here or email..The Trident's are without a doubt superior to the OutterBox's..they (Outterbox) may have a newer model that I haven't used..BUT even if they do..it would have to be a mimic/copy of anything Trident has..
Not a Trident salesperson here..just a loyal, honest customer..go here to look around.

Ive looked at a few Trident cases and they are no doubt rock solid in design, but I really dont like how they're shaped. Ive seen nothing but bulky ones. But Im sure there is some super sleek and smexy case that I might like. But before I do any of that, Ill have to give Otterbox its due attention.
Thanks for the link!

I second this. I have a Kraken Trident case on my Droid X2, and it's nothing short of incredible.
Well I'm on the fence about Trident cases right now. My lady had one for her Galaxy S and I personally thought it was a little flimsy, especially for the $30 she paid for it. The only thing I like about it was the built in screen protector.
I hate big bulky looking cases so I usually go for an extra thick rubber one. I was looking at their PERSEUS case for my X2 and it looked cheesy with those huge face buttons on it. So I went with the Otterbox Impact case instead.
I just bought the Trident Aegis from Amazon $9 otd. Can't wait for delivery. Have the OtterBox Commuter & don't like the fit at all. I was very pro OtterBox, loved it on my Eris. But the OtterBox for the X/X2 is a sad design.
Amazon seller canceled the Aegis. So now I got a Black Motorola Droid X2 Incipio SILICRYLIC Hard Shell Case w/ Silicone Inner core.
... Try to do a full review of the aegis? The kraken/electra are the main top Trident cases around here, never even heard of the aegis yet (about to look into it)
~Edit ewww its the skinny version of the Electra, i totally prefer the original kraken if im not using a massive 3500-3800 mah battery. I like the kraken design way better
I kinda wish I would have looked more into the Kraken. The Otterbox on my X2 limits dragging from one homescreen to another and access to some of the keys.
I just got the Black Motorola Droid X2 Incipio SILICRYLIC Hard Shell Case w/ Silicone Inner core. I had the OtterBox Commuter case, sold it. Didn't like how the OtterBox fit, it was terrible, sad really. Had the commuter for my Eris & it rocked. Only thing about the Incipio so far is the stand is useless. Got it on fleabay $6. Highly recommend it. Oh & unlike the OtterBox & many other X2 cases it is strictly for the X2. No stupid X camera button.
just got this today from amazon for 37$
i like the look and quality
makes the volume and power buttons easier to press!
wireless charging works with nokia fatboy pillow
i cant wait to get the ibolt car dock, we'll see if it fits with this case!
Does it feel a lot thicker? How thick is it? In person, how does it look? Beautiful? Do you know how it compares to an otterbox defender (size wise)?
Thanks!

I don't know how it compares to the otterbox cuz this is the only case I've got for the DNA
Any strong protection will add some girth its not alot and I don't mind
I would have preferred the white and black instead of the white and grey but that's all amazon had
I think the case is very nice

Where did you get this case from? I checked on Amazon and could not find it at all. The only ones that showed up in my search were the "SG" cases, but not the SG MAXX. I looked on Ballistic's site and the MAXX case is listed as "Coming Soon"..

I don't have the SG Maxx, but have the SG case and I find that, while it provides exceptional protection, the hard plastic part of the case is squeezing the DNA a bit much. I notice blue splotches on the phone screen when viewing a page with a white background, like when there's pressure on the screen. the Trident Aegis might be a better alternative. The Aegis also made provisions for the rear notification light.
Thanks for the reply

I bought an incipio case a couple days ago. Its a 2 layer case that doesnt seem to add very much bulk to it i like it alot. I havent dropped it yet so i can say anything about durability but it seems like it could take a hit. one thing i did find i didnt like is that it make the volume rocker very sensitive but besides that i cant complain. it also came with a screen protector. incipio dual pro case
With the soft grip/nylon/leather back & strong screen this phone to me seems like an ideal canidate for a bumper case to protect the edges from getting scratched up. Anyone found/using one?
Thanks
Never had any luck with bumper cases. Always seemed to peel off when taking phone out my pocket. I just go with a full case but I always try and find one not so bulky.
Usually Verizon puts one out for their droids I think.

Moto X Pure comes with a bumper case, but I think that's because of the high likelihood of screen breakage on the phone.

Yes, I was hoping the Turbo came with one too. Haven't found one online or in a store yet.

I'm very happy with this TPU case ordered from Amazon.com. It is offered in a few colors. They are about as thin a case as I have ever used. I did have a thin hard shell case for my Moto X that I liked a bit better. But, this does the trick and improves the handling.

I haven't seen anyone making just a nice simple rubber bumper yet for this phone.
If you find one, please post it!
I would really want a bumper one friend of mine has a moto x and it look really clean.
Incipio Bumper?
I emailed Incipio and asked if they had plans to make a bumper for the T2. Maybe it would help if more people emailed them and asked. Here is the email I got back.
Hello,
Thank you for the email. At this time we are not sure if we are going to release a bumper case for the Moto Droid Turbo 2. We kindly ask that you follow us on social media and sign up for our newsletter for upcoming announcements and release dates.
Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

I've tried cutting a case before and ruined it. In my case what happened was the edges where the cuts were made ended up rubbing on my hand wrong. It felt sharp. I used a good metal file to remove the sharp edges. Then it just looked like crap.

Which back do you have on your phone?
Im looking to replace the backcover on my ballistic nylon MXF. I regret choosing the ballistic n. version. It got this cheap feel to it, and it is NOT grippy as some reviewers state. I really miss the organic feel of the leather from Moto X 2014.
So, anyone have experience with the replacement covers found around the net?
Have looked at the ones on eBay and AliExpress, but havent found any without the cutout for the Droid logo. Are there perhaps other places to buy from? Anyone tried it or got some ideas?

I'm from México, and asked motorola about this, they told me they do not sell the covers, but they can change it for you if you take it to costumer service, and obviously they will charge you for it. I'm on the other side, I'm tired of the leather feel. Lol.

Well, yes, you are kind of correct. I was actually looking for leatherbacks, but I see now that wasnt clear from the OP. My fault!
Btw the two last links are for the Droid Turbo 2 and not suitable if you want the back clean of Droid logos.
I ordered my moto x from the carrier and the girl/rep told me it was the balistic nylon. When the phone came it was the leather model... i was about to return it but boy it feels premium.
Previous phone was a Note 3 and the difference is a loooooot.
I just orderd black leather cover from here: http://de.aliexpress.com/item/Origi...or-Moto-Motorola-Droid-Turbo/32581897134.html
Then I changed the ballistic nylon back from my basic version of Moto X Force (without logo) to leather version with DROID logo and I´am very happy! Now feeling more Premium to my Moto X 2014 or Moto X Style with leather back before. The leather ist very smooth and grippy.
Any videos how to replace back cover?

Does anywhere sell a complete leather back ie not cut our for DROID logo? Or does anyone know where to buy the droid logo?
I own an x force so isn't technically a droid but I've also not enjoyed the ballistic nylon...
Any help would be great.

I had the leather for about 6 months now and hated every time of it. Just bought a "regular" back cover, and it feels very good in the hand. It has the "Droid" branding tho... Search in Aliexpress, I've seen what you're looking for there.
The DROID-logos are included. I bought some leather variants and a softgrip cover from ALIEXPRESS. All covers came with logo. In my opinion the look with DROID logo ist much "cooler" as the global MOTO X FORCE version without any logo on the back.
do u really need a heat gun to remove the adhesive back?
Sent from my XT1580 using Tapatalk
Hair dryer ist really enough. With a little heat it is much easier.
I've put a Red nylon backcover with hair dryer.
Long, very long time to could peel off the back.
And be careful, metal is so hot !!!
