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.

Yeah, I guess preferences in such matters are very personal If you choose to switch, my recommendation would be to stay away from Ballistic Nylon, hehe!

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 !!!

Hello,
I recently purchased a genuine Nillkin Jelly case for my San Francisco (Aka ZTE Blade), and I thought I would let any prospective purchaser know that the case is excellent.
It is a very nice fit, with cut outs where appropriate, and a very high quality screen protector, which is again a perfect fit with two slots for the earpiece and the proximity sensor. Also included is a little cleaning pad attached to a lanyard so you will always have it with your phone. At first I thought the cleaning pad was gimmick. But now it is attached to my phone and comes in handy.
All in all this is an excellent product from a UK based eBay seller. £5.99 + £1.50 P&P
I am in no way affiliated with this seller. I just want to pass on my experience.

I picked up a clear/purple Jelly case for my partners Blade, fits tight, really protects the Blade niecely. Its survived quite a few drops with no marks at all (other than smashed digitizer but then it landed face first on a metal stylus from about 3ft, I can hardly blame the case).
Trying to get a head start on accessories before I get the phone, lol.
Does anyone own the High Gloss Silicon Case available direct from Verizon. It comes in 3 colors. $19.99 each.
They have a sale this weekend, buy 3 items get 20 percent off, buy 5 items get 30 percent off.
I was planning on getting the screen protectors directly from them also, and maybe an extra STANDARD size battery.
What do you guys think?
Here is the Verizon link:

honestly, i'd just reccommend checking out cruzerlite tpu cases...go checkout my thread for pics, reviews and links to their stuff..they're much cheaper than 20 bucks..that's really expensive

I coughed up the $20 for this case in black. I bought the phone just before traveling on business and did not want it naked. (I actually had just decided not to purchase another phone for a while as I had my Incredible rooted and on a stable ROM with a great kernel, etc. etc., but the LCD cracked. I suspect it was a Verizon OTA screen cracking exploit nobody knows about....)
I like how the case wraps around the Rezound. I also suprisingly like the gloss. We'll see how it holds up. I typically keep a case for a few months then decide I want something "else." Once a phone is rooted, I need to be able to pull the battery frequently while tinkering around with it, so a silicon case is a nice option, as opposed to a hard two-piece case that I'm constantly pulling apart. It feels like a "better" case than the cheaper silicon ones I can get at the stand at the mall right outside the Verizon store.
Picked up the red gloss case and so far so good I like that it doesn't add any bulk.

the standard clamshell holster that verizon sells has always worked on the silicone cases on all the phones I have had.. bionic, charge, tbolt and razr; yes i may have a problem
I have the black one aswell. I liked it ok for a cheap case... I didn't like that the camera wasn't really protected... But that's really it tbh. Love my commuter otterbox

I have the vzw one in red, got it with the phone... fits good, looks decent, not bulky. I like it.
Yep, I have the black high gloss case also. With the case on, the Rezound fits perfectly in my hand and the case adds a nice grip to avoid dropping
Sent via my HTC Rezound using XDA premium app.
Grabbed the black one when I picked up the phone. Fairly nice but not worth 20 bucks imo. Once my Otterbox commuter comes in, it's going back and I'll pick up a car charger.
I picked this up from Verizon about a week ago and I love it it protects my phone and it provides a good grip and with my discount I only paid $15

Any word on cases that will launch along side the DNA next week? Would the wireless charging / NFC have the distance to work through a case?
Are you planning on putting a case on your DNA?
Personally, I'm not planning on getting a case. I think the phone looks too good on it's own to cover it up. My only concern would be dust and pocket lint getting in the open grill sides.

I think it would work with a case but I don't think you really need a case with gorilla glass 2 but if I do get one it will most likely be the tpu case because I always buy that on my android devices and love the design and feel so much.
Sent from my CM9 HTC Thunderbolt from Tapatalk 2.4
I don't like the added bulk of cases, though I'll be getting a screen protector as soon as one is available. HTC adds an additional glossy coating on top of the Gorilla Glass, and it is more prone to surface scratches than the Gorilla Glass itself.
Plus I have two pieces of dust underneath the Galaxy S3 screen protector I've got on the DNA temporarily. Want to get that remedied ASAP.

Guys, gals...
If you haven't seen, there's another thread with the case I think this phone might be deserving of. I by no means take credit for finding it, but here's the thread.
That's awesome. I'd totally pick one up if they make them for the DNA.
I found this via Google search but I'm not really sure how reputable it is (seems kind of sketchy). There are already several cases listed for the DNA.

I received word from Incipio stating they don't plan on making anything for the DNA. I agree about the sketchiness of the Tessco site. I searched on Incipio for some of the product numbers listed, with nothing found.
Seidio will be making cases for the DNA, i've been wanting to get a hold of one of their cases for a while now and just needed an excuse
Tessco
Tessco supplies to retailers.
Does anyone know of any phone with fairly similar dimensions? Most of what I researched has the DNA being taller. The reason I ask is because I like sleeves instead of a case....I guess it's an old blackberry habit. I had the original Nexus neoprene one for my OG Incredible. If I can find a quality sleeve for another device, it might suit the DNA just fine.
Thanks
Body Glove Drop suit is available on eBay for the DNA.

Just letting anyone know I am selling mine with og box plus a otterbox commuter case and a trident agesis case plus the case from Verizon. And as a bonus it comes with 3 screen protectors plus the one on it.
The phone is OFF CONTRACT I boughtbit out right. The only thing is their is not the pesky charger flap. other than that the phone is flawless has no scratches on the front display and minimal use on back as seen in the images on the site. And I can lower to 500$ maybe

I'm thinking $500 might be a little steep at this point. $300-$400 might be a little closer. Just my opinion.

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?

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.

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 would really want a bumper one friend of mine has a moto x and it look really clean.

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.
