So my dad is in need for a new phone and as he works as a smith, he needs a phone with a tough case. Today he has the Moto G first gen with Otterbox and it has somehow survived almost 3 years of use(incredible!) but now he has to get a new phone. Moto G4 seems like a solid deal. BUT there doesn¨t seem to be any Otterbox case for it, and that is a shame, beacuse he really needs it. But looking on ebay, there is quite many "rugged" cases, but I know from experience that they aren't always as rugged as the seller claim. So I just wondered if you guys have bought and used any rugged case and know if there any any that's good?
Try Poetic Revolution case for the Moto G4 Plus.

Hello folks,
Just want you to know that Mediadevil has released their Artisan Pouch for our G3. If you don't know this article, here's the link:
http://mediadevil.com/eu/artisanpouch-leather-pouch-case-lg-g3.html
I have this pouch for my Nexus 5 and I have to say that it's the finest case I've ever seen. Great quality at not so big price, it fits perfectly and protect borders and screen from drops, and you can use your phone naked (I am esthetically offended by these otterbox and slim armours-slim????)
I was firstly surprised with the quality of the case where the pouch came when I ordered. It says that you are buying a high quality product, not some of that chinese clones that you find in ebay. Next month I'll purchase one for sure.
Let me know what you think about this.
Rgds
I like but never liked pouches unless you have screen protector and body armor on phone cause it gets scratched
Looks good, but I wouldn't want to slide my phone in and out all day.
Using a pouch seems so.. counter-intuitive. Even a flip case is easier to access the phone with
I'm looking for one, but that's quite expensive
I like pouches; protect your phone in the pocket and no ugly cases when in use. I'm looking for one for the G3 but the mediadevil looks so cheap with the creased leather, not a good look especially at £20! are there any alternatives that look better and are cheaper?
Otterbox is putting a feeler out there on who will buy a Nexus 6. Let them know so we will finally have a Nexus device Otterbox!

If I buy a N6, I won't be using any case... especially not an otter box that will make it an inch bigger
Otterbox has a brutal bulk to actual protection ratio. They should consult Tech21 to see how actual protection is done.
Most of the people commenting on that are whiny iPhone brats anyway. No surprise they want Otterboxes too.
If i get one... which i'm seriously considering... it'll be lucky to be in a case (why would i want to cover up the prettiness?). If it DOES go in a case... it'll be the type of case i always use. A TPU case. Otterbox is just overrated, overpriced plastic fluff that adds bulk with very little benefit. They practically charge more for plastic than car manufacturers do.
every year the same, but they never make and nexus case, give up
worst case I ever owned, not to mention crazy overpriced, just slap a nice minimalist tpu case, and will take care of all sorts of drops
Screw Otterbox. Since they refused to build a case for the Nexus 4 I've relied on Spigen for all my Nexus cases. They provided superior cases for the Nexus 5 and I'm counting on them for support for Nexus 6.
Otter box is junk.
Yeah they never made a case for the 4 or 5 so I ended up getting the Seido Convert. I actually like Otterbox, if anything for the built in screen protector on the Defender. I'm thinking they will be made for the N6.
I can see why they didn't make ones for the Nexus of the past but given this device will be available every where, I can't see them not making one this time.
I had a Commuter case for my GNex, it was a super protective case, my wife has one on her iPhone 5 as well. I think adding that bulk to the N6 would be too much, not sure if I would purchase. Spigen has been making some great looking cases also.
Nexus 6 Symmetry Series
Someone request the Symmetry Series case (like the one they have for the LG G3) for the Nexus 6 so it isn't so absurdly bulky. I don't have a facebag account nor do I want one.

I don't have an FB account either, but they posted the exact same thing on their g+ account (don't have a high enough post count to write the link here, but it's easy to find).
And seeing as they seem to be the only ones thinking of something rugged for the Nexus 6 (Trident doesn't think of anything, Ballistic with dust covers are too big for me, and Spigen doesn't plan anything with dust covers), I guess an Otterbox Commuter would suit me fine.
Holster

Ive always got otterbox , until i got my nexus phone. I like the alternatives except that i work in a shop and need a holster. Know of any alternatives , with holsters?
Seidio Convert
I use to like Otterbox but like most case manufactures lately it seems that they are all in with either Apple or Samsung and screw anyone else. But then again it doesnt help when carriers like Verizon make alterations to the devices after case manufactures have already launched their case designs *cough cough* Verizon and the LG G2.

Again... another good reason to just go with a cheapy eBay TPU case. Always a plethora of no-name cases, and for the most part, they're just as good as the more expensive ones.
Since it's going multi carrier, we should be getting one. I also came across this today as well.

You do realize that all the images from that video are the Otterbox Cases for the Moto X 2014, right?
http://www.otterbox.com/motorola-moto-x2-cases/motorola-moto-x2-cases,default,sc.html
That's my bad. I have the new Moto X with the same Otterbox. To me it looked slightly different.
Why the heck is Otterbox bringing out a "droid turbo" case and yet refusing to bring out one for the Nexus 6? The droid turbo is available on a single carrier and yet the "nexus 6" case will be available EVERYWHERE. This is maddening to me as an otterbox fan.
No one will have the Nexus till end of November.
I am a fan of the Otterbox Commuter cases, but since they never made one for either the Nexus 4 or Nexus 5, i found that the Seidio Dilex cases are a decent similar case.
For now, I pre-ordered the Spigen Perfect-Fit Slim case on Amazon. Can't go wrong temporarily for $6.99
Because **** Otterbox.

good suggestion on the Spigen case, thanks.
Otterbox actually are the only ones at least considering a properly rugged case for the Nexus 6:
- Trident told me they didn't plan anything for now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/accessories/trident-nexus-6-t2914632
- Ballistic doesn't plan anything for now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/accessories/ballistic-case-nexus-6-t2912528
- Ringke MAX generally has some level of dust covers, but seems flimsy in front of an Otterbox Commuter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/accessories/rearth-ringke-nexus-6-t2912914
- Spigen will at most sell a Thin Armor (without dust covers - only the Tough Armor would have those, and would be too big for this phone anyway, imho): http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/accessories/spigen-case-t2908133
- Rhinoshield may plan what'd be the best bumper case, but it'd be just that: a bumper case, without back protection, nor even dust covers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/accessories/rhinoshield-crash-guard-t2916820
So, well: meanwhile, Otterbox hasn't said no yet. I know there's a grudge between Nexus lovers and Otterbox, seeing as they failed to offer any case for the last two models, but still. They at least are considering it for the Nexus 6, and would immediately become the best rugged option, should they offer at least a Commuter case (I for one don't care about grudges and things like that: I'm only interested in products doing the job I'm after, and seeing the feelers until now, a Commuter case still would do the best job at rugging the Nexus 6, and still is a possibility).
I thus see little reason for complaining for now. And if you want to press them into releasing something, you can either try their FB page (https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10152540885098003&id=54145863002&refid=17) or their g+ page (https://plus.google.com/+otterbox/posts/Muatr3oF7Hx). Seems you've already done it on their g+ page, but giving the link for others can't hurt.
Also, there's already a thread about Otterbox for the Nexus 6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/accessories/nexus-6-otterbox-request-t2907452
Has anyone heard if Otterbox will be making a defender case for the Nexus 6? I always destroy phones so I love the Otterbox. I also can't walk around with this giant thing in my pocket at work, so I will require a holster. This is probably the only thing making me even consider the Turbo, or worse yet, keeping my LG G3.

I need a decent case, I usually use Spigen cases and Spigen usually have cases for the moto g series but the latest once are Moto G7 plus.
Anyone got any ideas, what's the case like that comes with it ?
My wife's one came with a see through case, but I didn't know that was included and had already ordered a spigen one. I'm very happy with it.
The spigen one is better than the factory one, a little stiffer and slightly higher raised edges around the screen, though the factory one isn't too bad.
