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!

i will find out if there is any issues with the case tomorrow. hopefully there is none cause i really hate the otterbox case for the g2 cause the built-in screen protector is not flat on the device it has an arch. im giving my otterbox to my wife and ill be using the ballistic.

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.

Did the SG maxx fit your Verizon version well, the description from the website states that it doesn't fit. I'd love to know thanks

The Maxx case includes protection flaps that cover the charger and headphone ports kinda like Otterbox Defender cases and comes with a holster. The regular doesn't.

Ok, thanks, becasue I'm thinking of buing regular one. How do you think, this is the best protection on the market in terms of protecting phone from broke digitizer when falling? Because my g2 fell from 30 cm and now is in lg repair

The Maxx case isn't available for the Version version, only the regular Shell Gel case.. not much of a differences unless you really want port covers and a holster. The regular should do fine.

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.

screen protector and holster clip.
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.

Anyone, please post some pics. Hated the otter box air pocket, really interested in this as an option

sorry i havent posted pics yet will do so when my wife gets here tomorrow. i finally got my screen protector working again. i love my case and phone again. dont think about it just get it,it honestly feels a lot better than otterbox. otterbox has more bulk than ballistic. my opinion....buy it, its worth it.

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.

Ive moved from a z3 compact and I had the same leather case for 2 years. Great quality and decent leather. Afte comparing lots of phone sizes I took a slight risk getting this iPhone6 plus sized one
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00NKFZYW6/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Only point is I slide my Z play in downwards so it's easier to grasp when pulling it out.

I like that pouch man. Super classy. How's the fit? Is it too tight or loose?

I was expecting it to be slightly too long as the iPhone6 plus is bigger but it's perfect. After having one for my old phone the pouch never gets loose enough for it to fall out. Prefer these cases to open ones so the screen is protected as well.

Looks good man. I may pick one up! It's perfect for the off hours... I also need something for work tho.. I work in an industrial setting and while I'd love to have the phone naked I need something hardcore in case I drop it. I've seen the Incipio ones, I may get one of those I guess... You'd think with the battery life this phone has it would have been a more popular model. But it seems like not too many people are picking it up

Had to order a Nillkin case of Aliexpress, as decent cases arent available yet on local sites.

Recently ordered mine shock proof case in Ali Express
-----------------------
-UPDATE-
This is the case: https://m.pt.aliexpress.com/item/32745245264.html
It hasn't arrived yet, but I think it's pretty neat, the phone seems to fit right into the case, so it doesn't make it that extra bulky, but it doesn't also fit a Mod back there.

I don't use a case. I use protector from the Gadgetshieldz. They act as my primary protection.
http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/moto-z-play-screen-protectors-covers-cases.html

didn't use case only screen protector

Ended up picking this one up for now. Protects the camera well has a decent lip over the screen for a slim case and it's a sticky kinda rubbery plastic so it won't fly out of my hands at work. It was also nice and cheap with prime shipping.

Are the leds in your flash of the same color/tone?

No they aren't. One is orange the other pale yellow...

Looks the same in the pics

You can see a slight difference in the first one. Color reproduction accuracy wasn't really a concern there haha

Ordered it but it hasnt arrived yet, but from the looks of it there seems to be a lip around the camera bump so should offer some protection.

i'm looking for a case like this but would cover the top and bottom...

I ordered this case and tempered glass.
Both from Nillkin. I will review it as soon as I receive it.

[Garbage] Speck Presidio Grip, any alternative?

Greetings, mates.
I was a big fan of Speck products with all my phones since iPhone 3GS.
Week ago, bought Z2 Force and was glad to discover that Speck is producing the case for it. It is some kind of a "line refresh" and now called "Presidio Grip". The main difference over well-known CandyShell, i thought, was matte finish and rubber pattern.
But i was wrong. The main difference is awful quality of these new cases. I've read dozens of feedbacks at Amazon on this "Presidio" lineup and all of them showing extreme low quality and materials used in them.
Typical use time now is 2-3 weeks, after that rubber begins to peel off, hard outer shell begins to crack above the volume buttons etc.
I'm attaching only some of feedback photos here, all made not later than a month after the purchase. I was shocked a little, realising that in 2018 Speck is trying to sell case for $40+ with such a low quality... I can buy same "quality" garbage for less than a 2$ at Ali, really. That's definitely not what i'm expecting to obtain for such amount.
Now you really need a case to protect a $40 case, lol.
So, my question is are there any other hybrid cases for our Z2 that is not so bulky as Otterbox and is a good compromise between thickness and protection, like old Speck?

I use Spigen on my Moto Z2 Force , Google Pixel XL, iPhone 7 plus and love the fit and finish...

I actually bought the presidio grip for the Moto z2 force. It's junk and nothing like the previous ones I've had.
Have you looked at the under armour case? It has the grip like the speck. The Incipio octane does too on the sides.

Spigen rugged? It is not dual-layer design, so not a variant for me. Besides, it is typical cheapest possible $1 one layer TPU case with the only difference - quality of molding.
Spigen tough is like Otterbox, too bulky and outer shell scratches very easily, showing the white plastic beneath thin paint layer.

Incipio octane is a killer for our soft aluminium back. I had same type case on my old 1st gen Atrix. When dust and sand particles goes through camera hole, whole case begin to act like a sandpaper - soft TPU sides will move just a little every time you take a phone or move it to a pocket while hard polycarbonate back will scratch the surface with that dust particles.

This is a 100% hit the bull's-eye, thank's mate, exactly what i've searched for. Dunno why i never heard such brand before. :good:

The Under Armour cases are actually made by Incipio. My biggest issue with them is the thickness. Since the Z2F is already so rugged, I'm pretty comfortable with just a slim tpu case and tempered glass. The Tech21 Evo Check can be found online for under $10 now., so I'll probably pick one of those up.

I have this case.

It is nice if you are looking for a thin case and a holster. Slightly harder to take off for using mods. (I always pop out the plastic screen protector)
I also have this case
Spigen Rugged Armor Moto Z2 Force Case with Resilient Shock Absorption and Carbon Fiber Design for Moto Z2 Force (2017) - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074BCC6K7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_hVlTAb0RY15T8
It is a simple slide in the pocket case that is easy to remove to use the mods.
Both are great cases and have held up without any problems.

Is anyone able to determine the model/manufacturer of the case on photo? Found it on glass feedback thread at amazon. Looks interesting.

Does Any Other Phone's Case Fit The Moto G Stylus?

Chinese case makers aren't really picking up speed so g stylus isn't getting the usual cases other phones get. Like I love the blacl tpu cases with fabric or leather back. But they are not being released any time soon. So I'm wondering if a case of another phone might fit the g stylus with minor mods.
Anybody know?

I bought the Poetic Guardian Series Case after trying other cases. I wanted a case that hold credit cards and ID, but couldn't find any.

G Power is the closest, but it's a bit loose and you have to open a hole for flashlight

& the stylus, of course

I also had a had time finding a case for the G Stylus, but after a few finally found one I am happy with. It is an ultra thin hard shell case which protects the phone's finish from scratches/abrasions but minimal drop protection, it also gives the phone "grip" as the phone alone is quite slick. The case is perfect for me as I haven't dropped a phone in a decade; it would not provide much protection for a "phone dropper" (aka my niece).
I bought the case here

I bought & am using "Sucnakp Moto G Stylus Case Motorola G Stylus Case Heavy Duty Shock Absorption Phone Cases Impact Resistant Protective Cover for Motorola Moto G Stylus" at Amazon.

I have the OtterBox Commuter for the 2020 Moto G Stylus. I really like it:
