Does not work with my DROID TURBO in Ballistic Nylon - Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories

So I went to go look at the different cases that Verizon was selling for the Turbo. I selected "DROID TURBO in Ballistic Nylon" I couldn't help but notice that EVERY SINGLE CASE SAID "Does not work with my DROID TURBO in Ballistic Nylon"
Hopefully this is just a bug but if not I guess if you choose ballistic nylon you don't get to use a case

The ballistic one doesn't need a case.

I don't know why someone would buy a ballistic nylon model and put a case on it.

I want a case for ballistic nylon. Still need to protect the front and sides

The dimensions of the ballistic nylon phone are different than the metalized glass fiber version. Hopefully cases will become available to accommodate you soon.
I'm not into cases for my phones and the ballistic nylon coupled with the one time free cracked screen replacement put me at ease. But I can understand why some people want one.

Otterbox defender and commuter both fit the 64GB ballistic nylon.

Our company is in heavy construction, we ordered Droid Turbos (64gb nylon) w/ Verizon Shell Holster Combo with Kickstand (really need the holster)
Will find out Tuesday if they fit.

Fits fine and dandy. I just picked up a pair of the Turbo 64s in ballistic nylon and got this case for my wife as she wanted a case.

I've used these cases since I can't even remember when. They are indeed rock solid and bulletproof. Great texture, excellent grip and about as thin as a case can get.

Incipio Duallayer Wraparound
Incipio Duallayer wraparound case fits the 64gb nylon perfectly. And to the fellas that said "why get a case on the ballistic nylon version?" well the ballistic nylon will fray, and probably quickly. its almost just fabric glued to a back. Its not stiched perfectly and it frays at the edges out of the box. I hate the feel of a case, its a shame but im leasing the phone so i gotta protect it.

Word of warning with this specific case on the ballistic nylon. I used it on mine for a few days, when I took it off I noticed four imprints on the back of the phone.

Tech21 with D3O
I have the ballistic nylon and the Tech21 TPU case with D3O is great. It is grippy, very slim, transparent, and has this amazing shock absorbing material. Look it up and you will be amazed.

I can't confirm it actually fits, but the LifeProof case shows its pictures with what looks like the Ballistic Nylon version inside. Can anyone confirm it actually fits?

It fits fine, bought a lifeproof case yesterday for my nylon droid, but returned it a few hours later for a tech 21 case. It was just too big, didn't like the back, home, and recent's buttons were partially obstructed, plus it cuts the volume drastically. Might pick one up next spring when I start kayaking again, but for me it's not a daily driver

They fit. I tried all of them today on mine. Also, it is the thinnest of what they had too. Only reason I put a case on it is because to me the nylon is sooooo slippery. I can't seem to hold it. Course I am coming from a Note 3.

Yes nylon is pretty slippery. Like the holster too although its a two handed removal.

Case with a Built In Screen Protector?

Hi, I am getting the G2 for Sprint in about a week, and I was wondering if anyone has seen a case with a built in screen protector, and if so how they like it? If not, what's the best accessory you've seen?

The only two cases that I know of that have "built-in" screen protectors is either the Otterbox Defender or Ballistic SG MAXX. Both of these cases are for heavy duty protection and so they will add bulk. These are NOT slim cases.

Otterbox Defender is available for all LG G2 variants including the Verizon model. Go onto Otterbox's website and you will see a separate link that redirects you to the Verizon variant page.
Both the SG Maxx and Otterbox come with belt clips. However, I think you can only get the SG and not the SG Maxx for the Verizon model.

Yes I have the Otter Box Defender for my G2. I am just not happy with the issues with the Defender Screen protector. I have removed the screen protector and put a new one over my screen.
On the Ballistic SG Maxx, the screen protection sucks.. The touchscreen is just UNUSABLE.
Is the Otter Box Defender have a Built-in screen protection, or is it a film to stick on the screen?

LG G2 Ballistic Maxx

Just ordered 2 Ballistic SG Maxx cases for the wife and myself. getting tired of the bubble in the screen protector on the Otterbox Defender case.
wondering if anyone has it and whats there take on it.
I paid $68.50 total with one day shipping and will be getting it on Saturday. hopefully im not too dissapointed as i never was with ballistic.
I have their gel case on my vs980 I really like, my girlfriend has one on her HTC one as well. As far as the SG maxx goes. I know people with one for their iphones and its a pretty beefy case but they like it a lot. Let us know how it works out for you!

Post pics if you can, im also thinking about going to the SG Maxx or a Trident case(would like the Kraken just dont have it for the G2) I just dont like the gap between the actual screen and the screen protector.
will upload photos as soon as i get it but usps messed up my order. its stuck in Oklahoma for about 4 days now. its supposed to be here on the 21st. late late late. one-day shipping is bogus with usps, they are garbage deliverers. sorry just frustrated with USPS right now.
will post up pics if i ever get it.
Ballistic case have the same problem with the screen protecter on G2.
I have the case myself, and due to the floop top and buttom, it makes the screenprotectors fall off. Pretty sure otterbox should hold them down better due to not having floppy top/buttom.
But I still love my case. Fixed it with a tiny piece of tape at the top and buttom just on the edge, so the case didn't lift them up!

my case has no issue with the screen protector. make sure you have it on the right way. the soft sides go over the lip of the screen protector. i have no issues with slipping or fall outs. its in there pretty good.
I have the Verizon version and have had no issues with my Obliq screen protector so far. The case is a bit bulky, but that's to be expected when choosing one for higher levels of protection. Normally I would have gone with an Otterbox, but a Verizon version wasn't available until recently, so I went with the Ballistic and have been happy with it. The hard shell has a bit less grip to it than an Otterbox, but it isn't too bad. Also, the Verizon variant has protection for the volume/power buttons on the back, while it looks like the Verizon version of the Otterbox leaves the buttons exposed.

Ballistic is a better option than the otterbox. ballistics's screen protector is flush with the screen as otterbox is arched over leaving an air pocket. i actually find the ballistic thinner than the otterbox. and way nicer.

I haven't used the Ballistic case for the G2 but I had one for my Optimus G Pro. It was definitely thick and offered great protection but I never dropped that phone with the case on it before. It should hold up pretty well considering how thick those corners are. I do however have lots of experience with Otterbox cases. I've dropped phones in those cases on concrete a bunch of times and the phone always came out flawless after but they're so ugly for this phone I ended up with a Spigen Slim Armor case. I've dropped it a few times on carpeted floors and it's fine so far but no accidents on concrete yet.

Sorry, I didn't know there was a Maxx version. I have the Verizon version of the regular one without port covers. The bottom edge is a little loose due to the cutouts for the USB, speaker, and headphones, but it isn't too bad. Otherwise, it fits great.

today the screen protector is making me mad it is not responding to double tap. so in my experience a few days with the case you start running into issues with screen protector.

Droid Turbo cases

Starting the thread as we find Droid turbo cases. Case-mate already has their site up.
http://www.case-mate.com/Motorola-DROID-Turbo-Cases/Motorola-DROID-Turbo-Cases.asp
Lol can't see the capacitive keys in the front-facting picture of the case. Wish it really looked like that
With the bulk of this phone and the kevlar back I'm hoping someone simply makes a bumper. Give the screen a slight raise from a fall as well as the camera.
Cheers to hoping!
I already found quite a few more yesterday. My thread is in the General section.

Yeah, I too am wondering how they are going to handle that. I fondled both the "MFG" and the ballistic nylon-backed phones briefly today and they didn't feel any different. I can't imagine four different Moto flipcase SKU's between the two phone sizes and the two case materials, but I might not be trying hard enough.
-e- I looked at some of the press photos and I now see the the cloth-backed phone's camera lens is definitely set further back in. Less than 1mm difference between the two, according to Moto's spec sheet. it doesn't seem like enough to justify how deep the camera appears in some of the photos.

I hate Vzw and Otterbox for bringing out the droid turbo case for day 1 (for a phone on a single carrier) and refusing to bring one out for the Nexus 6 (on all carriers). Sadly, this does make me more likely to get a droid turbo even though I think it's kinda ugly.

That's the advantage of real carrier support. Verizon is probably Otterbox's biggest customer so they have the leverage to get Otterbox to make a case for their beloved Droid series. Obviously, they're more interested in getting accessories for an exclusive before another device.

I've used several otterboxes in the past on various devices and I'm just bored of their styling now. A case is a case, but be a bit more innovative with the design in my opinion. I'm currently still digging the Spigen Neo Hybrid in blue I've got for my Note 3, might lean towards spigen again if they come out with something for the turbo. The lifeproof is okay, but the screen smears would bug me too much and I much prefer a glass screen protector so that's also out of the question then. Decisions....
I was actually surprised how many cases they had available. I went ahead and ordered a incipio dual pro case with the phone. It is nice having choices at launch.
Did anyone grab the Incipio DualPro case from Verizon? If so does it fit the Ballistic Nylon version and how is it?
Thanks
I'm using the case from verizon with the kickstand and belt clip. Never use the belt clip but its a thin case and the kickstand is really handy. Had the same styled case for my MaxxHD and loved it

I bought the incipio dual pro with my Ballistic Nylon. Fits great, not to tight and not to loose. I have used multiple dual pros before but usally return because they atract lint like no other. It seems like they changed the composition of the soft rubber and it no longer atracts lint. Over all Iike it and its a good heavy duty case.

Tough / Rugged Cases

Can anyone recommend a good tough/rugged case for the 2nd Gen LTE handset? (Which I assume is externally the same as the non-LTE one?) The ideal would be an Otterbox Defender style case, with an inner polycarbonate base with integral screen protector, and outer silicone bumper. Everything I'm seeing on Amazon UK has the polycarbonate on the outside.
I'll need one... I have one with policarbonate outside and the phone slips from everywhere its crazy
Cant say about rugged, but i found these two to be good:
Tudia Ultra Slim LITE TPU Bumper Protective Case for Motorola Moto G 2nd Gen 2014
Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit TPU Case for the New Moto G
Both have bumper protection. The top and lower portions have the hard material to protect against falls, and otherwise as well, the customers have praised the performance of the cases when their phones took a tumble.
Thanks. I went with another one, but it's silicone and I'm not happy with it. The wife is though, so that's that.
When it falls apart I'll probably go with one of those. I've had a Cruzerlite and it wasn't very robust, so I'll try the Tudia first off.

Ballistic Nylon cases for the Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo

(reposting some stuff I wrote in the old joint "Quark" forum, now that we are separate from the Droid Turbo Quark forum.)
The ballistic nylon Quarks are really ballistic nylon + kevlar underneath. I own two of them. Whereas the "kevlar" verson is kevlar only. I prefer the double layer protection.
There are some ballistic nylon case options. I have several for me and my wife.

localceleb said:
Well the benefits to the ballistic nylon version are added protection, yes. However, the BN versions aesthetic qualities dnt really appeal to me after the thing keeps slipping out of my hands or sliding off of surfaces. It's been in a case for the majority of its life. And if I can't see the texture of the back then it doesn't really matter if I have the less exciting kevlar version. At least with the kevlar version I have no restrictions when it comes to case shopping. That's my reasoning.

I keep mine in a case too, as I saw reports about the ballistic nylon fraying. I want to keep it pristine for maximum re-sale value.
I have half a dozen cases that fit the ballistic nylon version, including a clear one.
DROID TURBO Ballistic Nylon Case
See here. That one comes in clear, black, purple.
Tudia also makes some excellent ones that come in black, teal, frosted clear, purple.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/TUDIA-Slim-...id=100005&rk=2&rkt=6&mehot=pp&sd=321805530727
Point is plenty are available if you know how to search. Here's some more! (for Droid Turbo Ballistic Nylon only)
While those I found are for the Droid Turbo Ballistic Nylon, since the XT1225 (sibling Quark) only comes in ballistic nylon, then if you also search for that model you know it will fit! If you search for Droid Turbo, you have to make sure it specifically says it's for the ballistic nylon version. If it doesn't say that, don't take a chance.
______
The snap-on the back (half case) my wife has on her phone gives the slimmest profile.
For my phone, the black Diztronic I'm using gives the best compromise of protection + slim profile.
My 2nd choice is the clear one.
The Tech21 gave the best protection but added too much bulk.
Bumper case ..?
I ve searched long for a bumper for this moto phone, but haven't found one yet (don't want to cover up the BN back) .. The closest one that I have found is the 'Motorola DROID Turbo Naked Tough Cases Clear' , by using only the white bumper part without the clear back case (but heard it is very loose without the back case ) ..
So if you have come across any bumper for this model, can you kindly point me to it.. I ll be more than happy to buy a quality one.. Thanks ..
I ordered the Cimo Wave case off Amazon the other day, it fits onto my Droid Turbo nicely. I'm still getting used to my phone feeling different but it feels really nice to hold. It slips into my pocket nicely and doesn't stick to it. It looks really nice on my phone and doesn't add much bulk to it at all. I highly recommend it to anyone with the Ballistic Nylon

This case above was for my wife's phone. She dropped her phone and the case cracked. Phone is fine, but she needs another case and she REALLY likes this minimal "bumper" look that snaps onto the back of the ballistic cover.
Anyway, Amazon no longer sells it, BUT I found it here if anyone else would like it:
Protective Slim Frosted Matte Hard Shell Shield Back Case Cover For Motorola MOTO MAXX XT1225
$2.10 each (right now, on sale), comes in 5 colors.

I'm getting the red again for her. And actually I ordered some spares. No telling when it will disappear!
Was duplicate of below. But I'll use this space to explain a little more.
As our phones get older bumper cases will be harder to find, especially those made by name brand manufacturers who care about quality. I initially wanted to buy another black Diztronic case for ballistic nylon Quark -- to replace what I have been using the past couple of years... But even Ditrzonic website is out of stock for that bumper case. (They still have red, but I don't want red.) I don't blame them, new phones are coming out all the time and what's the demand on a 2014 Motorola phone?
So, I found another high quality bumper case. It fits both kevlar and ballistic nylon, but especially fits ballistic nylon. And it has a clear back to show off the ballistic nylon. It's a one piece case. I HATE the two-piece cases. See below for more info.
NEW BUMPER CASE
Just bought a new case for my Quark. I was using Diztronic the past couple of years, and really liked it. It's protected my phone from all sorts of drops, and is fairly slim. BUT recently the wear on the back is showing (shiny spots, etc). So, I was going to order another... But everyone seems to be out of stock for the black Ditztronic that fits the BALLISTIC NYLON version of the Quark. Even Diztronic website is out of stock for the black ballistic version (although red case is still available for Ballistic Nylon). Although Ditzronic black is still available for the Kevlar variants, I have the Moto XT1225 which only comes in ballistic nylon.
So, started looking at alternatives and found this:
PUREGEAR SLIM SHELL BLACK/CLEAR CASE COVER FOR MOTOROLA DROID TURBO XT1254
Here's pictures from another user:
One piece bumper case. It works on ALL Quarks (not just Droid Turbo), and works especially well on ballistic nylon variant. Has black edging with a clear plastic back, so you can see the ballistic nylon.
I was skeptical that there's only ONE version -- because I've bought others that fit either kevlar-only (which I had to throw away) or ballistic nylon, but I had never seen one that fit BOTH variants. But, it fits my phone really well! The volume and power buttons are easy to press. The black edging blends very well with the frame of the phone. The clear part on the back shows the ballistic nylon fabric. I am very pleased. (There's also a totally clear version, but the one with black edging and clear back is better, in my opinion.)
Qi wireless charging still works flawlessly with this case -- which is very important to me.
I found it mentioned on the Brazilian Moto Maxx G+ website, so I started researching. Found it, and then found best prices...
Here's three places to buy it:

($6.45 with free Prime Shipping)

Amazon seems to have 3 color variants, including the Black/Clear and Clear/Clear. I think I prefer the Black/Clear as the black front blends seamlessly into my black frame. You can't even tell you have case on when looking at it from the front. With Clear front you would see the clear plastic around the frame and it doesn't really improve the look or protection in anyway. The black front would do a better job "masking" the case. I do like the clear back part.
On the Amazon site, ignore the people who say the Qi wireless doesn't work with this case. It DOES.
The Amazon listing does have some user review pictures which are great.

I ve searched long for a bumper for this moto phone, but haven't found one yet (don't want to cover up the BN back) .. The closest one that I have found is the 'Motorola DROID Turbo Naked Tough Cases Clear' , by using only the white bumper part without the clear back case (but heard it is very loose without the back case ) ..
So if you have come across any bumper for this model, can you kindly point me to it.. I ll be more than happy to buy a quality one.. Thanks ..

See my new post just above this reply. Buy the black/clear, not the clear/clear. The black/clear has a clear back but but still has black edging around the front frame and front chip/lip. It blends into the phone better.
