Droid Turbo Flip Case (third party) - Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories

Just switch from my Galaxy Note 3 to Droid Turbo, and I wanted a Folio case with Window View similar to Samsung S View cover. So, I went ahead and try this third party Smart folio case on Amazon, I didn't had the OEM Motorola Flip Case as it was way overpriced IMHO.
http://amzn.to/1zlVhwv
The inner case is made of soft TPU and the size and cutouts is accurate, quality is ok and the leatherette is decent for the price. So far, all the features stated for the Motorola Flip Case pages on Verizon works.

I'm a little confused because there's only one review. While that one looks pretty interesting, I think I would have to pass until there were more reviews from other people. The one that's there looks like a professional reviewer; and some of these companies offer pro-reviewers a product for free for a review like that. I would wait until there were a few more from actual customers.

If only it fit the Ballistic Nylon Version!

The one that verizon sells fits my BN.
Edit:
Its juts a pain in the A$$ to take off.

Nice! Thanks for sharing. The Motorola flipcase disappointed me so much. I have been holding out for another windowed flipcase and this one looks great except for the fact that it blocks the top IR sensor. Kind of a bummer, but hopefully they will revise the case. It can't be difficult to make the top cutout bigger to accommodate the sensor like the OEM case.

Smart Case for Droid Tubro!

'm switching from my old Note 3 which I used with the S-View cover. Therefore I was looking for a similar flip case for my Droid Turbo which I like the "executive look" with these kind of case.
The OEM Motorola Flip Case looks very nice but it is overpriced IMHO so I thought I give this Flip Case from iVoler a try and I'm glad that i did.
The quality of this flip case actually feels on par with the original Samsung S-View Cover. The PU leather feels very premium and durable. All the smart window features that I've seen on youtube works well, I'm able to take quick photos, asnwer/reject calls, notifications, etc. However I hope that Motorola will update the app to include more useful features such as the S-view sooner.
I will recommend it!!!

Smart Case for Droid Tubro!
Some days ago I bought it on Amazon, and the case is very well built, the quality of the material use is decent. The real thing looks much better than the pictures on Amazon. There is a soft TPU case inside holds onto the Droid turbo very well. Fits my Droid Turbo very well, Not too bulky and I really like the feel of the leather.
Highly recommended!!

Any non leather cases out there similar to the smart cover?

Looking for a really slim case that doesn't add bulk. The iPad's smart cover comes to mind but anything similar quality wise out there for the N7?
nothing that i have seen. and i agree with you, i would ideally like to see a TPU smart cover that would have a secure cover (simple latch or magnetic) ... as opposed to the official case that wont do much good in a tumbling fall.
How about this one? http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Portfolio-Automatically-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B008NMCPTQ
I'd be interested in a case that makes the Nexus 7.. look a bit more hardcore
An example is this iPad case:

Saw that but sadly that's not available in canada. Also I'm leaving the country for a few weeks near the end of August and I'd like to have a case by then.
I guess a leather case would do as long as it's not too huge and bulky. If it has the smart cover in it as well that's a plus.

Something like the Poetic Slimline, but better quality?

I really like the functionality of the Poetic Slimline case for my Nexus 7. The tri-fold cover, magnetic closure, light weight and thinness are great. What is not so great is the quality of the materials and construction.
Has anyone found a case of similar design and functionality, but of better quality? Real leather, better fit and finish? Anything better out there?

I am wondering the same thing. I am going to be getting a nexus 7 soon so I have been trying to pick out a case. I like everything about the poetic slimline except all that is holding me back is all the reviews talking about the poor build quality and it falling apart.
The Nillkin leather smart case is another one I'm looking at that's similar, here it is

Also here are a few others that you can take a look at...I still have yet to decide which one I'm going to get

I have the Poetic case and it serves it's purpose but once I bought the Speck FitFolio I was completely happy. It's worth the few extra bucks without a doubt.

I too have Poetic Slimline, and I have not liked the build quality from the first time I laid my eyes on it on Xmas day.
The Speck case looks a lot better, but I would prefer the magnetic latches of the Poetic over the manual latch of the Speck. Other than that, the Speck would be a no brainer.
The Moko also looks like it has a few straps that would anoy me.
I literally want a non-crappy built Poetic Slimline and I would be happy.
i say get the nillkin, exotek or MoKo.
(ive got the MoKo)
One interesting thing about the Moko, it looks like you might be able to slide it into a dock while leaving it in the case, but that would need tested. You would just let the flaps lay behind the dock if they would bent correctly without interfering.
I just ordered the Speck about an hour ago.

Can you do a video review of this?
I am very skeptical because the Poetic Slimline use external magnets on both sides of the case to keep the cover closed because if they only have magnets on the cover, it will be too strong and will turn off the device when the cover is flipped to the back. And if the magnets on the cover is just right, then I really doubt it will keep the cover closed which will be a problem because when it flaps around it will keep turning the screen on and off...
Otherwise this look exactly like the Poetic Slimline but even smaller. (Doesn't mean it is better quality though).
Really interested in a review of this.
So are there actually any covers that are not leather, but rubber exterior? Something like these: https://www.hammerheadcase.com/
I don't get all the complaints about the poetic quality. Had mine for 2 months and its still perfect.

Look at Devicewear's The Ridge, and the Speck FitFolio, or the Incipio Slim Kickstand Folio
I also backed out from ordering a poetic slimline case because of some of the quality issues shown in the customer uploaded images on Amazon. Glue issues, fraying, etc... I'd also recommend against the trifold cover design as it is definitely more prone to toppling over.
If you want something similar and maybe a bit better for typing and other such use, the nicest I've seen was the Incipio Slim Kickstand Folio, but it isn't the most available case around. The good news is, it's basically the same case as the Speck FitFolio or Devicewear's the Ridge.
Speck's a more widely known brand, but I saw a few FitFolios, in a couple of stores, showing wear along their corners while still on shelves. The vegan leather material seemed a bit like an eraser from the ones I felt. I also didn't care for the harbor blue color when it came to the poly-shell against the color of the device, especially since it doesn't fully cover the back of your N7. I also didn't care for the clip, not that it doesn't have some use.
I went with Devicewear's The Ridge option myself. It's very slim. It has full shell coverage for the back of the N7 with holes for the mics (wifi). I believe there are three color options available. The outside leather is a bit less soft than the FitFolio, and it uses a soft stap to stay closed instead of a dangling clip. The sleep function works when it's supposed to, and doesn't when it's not supposed to.. I felt like I was taking a slight chance with it because a lot of the reviews seemed fake, but so far its been a very good case.
Don't sell the Poetic Slimline short
Gotta be honest, been using the poetic slimline case for a couple of weeks now, and I must have got insanely lucky or something, becase I really dont have any complaints. Doesn't really add much heft to the device (I came from an HTC flyer, and even with the case this is slimmer and lighter than the flyer was bare) provides decent protection, doesn't get in my way, and (after trimming a few little threads off the cover with a razor knife) has continued to look awesome regardless of my poor treatment of it. I think cases are up to personal opinion in the end, but I for one will certainly not complain about the poetic. Just another opinion.

It's smart. It's the case I use. Pleather covered cheap metal (my guess, could be plastic) that grips the Nexus in 6 places, the corners and midpoint of each short side. You slip the tablet out of the 2 bottom most corners and then sit it one of the slots in the lid of the case to use it like a stand. Pretty much how all of this sort of case works. But no it's not as thin as a true smart cover lid. OTOH the lid has a lip that clips over the Nexus to keep it closed and is thicker offering more protection and even an elastic grip to hold the tablet in portrait orientation.

Moko or poetic case?

Hey guys! Just bought my Nexus 10 and waiting to put my hands on! I've been reading all of the threads that contains information of this two cases, but I want to ask directly wich is better?
Sorry for my english !
I have the moko multi angle and I think it's pretty good.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
They are both nice,
I have both slim versions.
The poetic imo is hard to place on and the plastic kind blocks the on volume buttons.
Moko is more open in terms of the buttons there is no plastic blocking it.
Poetic feels more like a full coverage compared to Moko
But I prefer using my moko.
I use my moko ultraslim and I'll never go back to my poetic case. I love the feel and look. Extremely light

+1, moko ftw.
I'm buying the Moko then! thanks for the quick answer guys!
I bought both Moko and Poetic cases for my Nexus 10.
Both are really nice and light. but the Moko case is kinda brittle. I accidentally slammed the front cover to the magnet and the part where it holds the magnet cracked and now its loose.
I now use the Poetic case and loving it so far.
My N10 should arrive tomorrow! Also, the Moko case should arrive next week, I'll share my opinion shortly
I had the Moko Slim-Fit, but the quality of the leatherette was horrible -- a cheap and rough plastic feel. (Which was funny, because I had what ostensibly the same Moko Slim-Fit for my old Note 10.1, and it was much better quality.) After buying the i-Blason by mistake -- the POGO port was completely covered! -- I just got the Poetic Hardback. I'm not sure what the difference is between this and the Slimline -- they look the same -- but the closure latch is horrible. It will only close completely if you actually pinch it closed forcefully, otherwise the edge of the latch just sits on the top of the tablet, held in place primarily by the N10's grippiness and the tight fit.
I'm now debating whether to go for the Moko "Genuine Leather" Slim-Fit, or go for a third option with the Blurex Ultra-Slim. All of these things seemed to be made by the same manufacturer anyway.

I've got the moko genuine leather slim fit, and have had it on my Nexus 10 for several months. It's been excellent. I reported on it a few months back in this thread, and posted a pretty detailed review on Amazon too. It fits perfectly - I just about never remove it. After months of daily use there is NO visible wear at all. It's essentially still like new. Very pleased within h it. Highly recommended.

For anyone curious - just to be sure - this is the one I ordered:

I've had it on my Nexus 10 since February 24th -- it's only been off the table a couple of days in the past three and a half months. Still fits perfectly, functions perfectly, and looks like new despite heavy daily use. Very highly recommended. NOTE: this is the "genuine leather" version of the Moko Slim Fit Multi-Angle case -- there's NO chemical smell when new, whereas the plastic version (cheaper) may have the same solvent small that other folks have described with the plastic cases. This also seems to wear much better as well. Love it!
EDIT: I just updated the URL to be sure I got it right. Note: most of the Moko Slim Fit cases are "PU" Leather -- i.e., like most of the mass market cases from China, these are micro-thin sheets of leather underneath layers of polyurethane. When you look at the Moko page, mouse of the color choices, and about 3/4 of the way through the list you'll see the "black genuine leather" option - THAT is the one I have and is the one I recommend.

I have this Moko Genuine Leather case as well, along with a Noreve case. The only negative I would say about this case is that mine holds the N10 a little too tight on the sides. It makes it difficult to slide the N10 out. Also, I find it uncomfortable to hold while in the case for extended use, and the tab on the left side is just little too close to the headphone jack. Otherwise its a really good case for the money.

Actually, this is the link to the genuine leather Moko slim-fit: http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Genuine-Leather-Slim-Fit-Multi-angle/dp/B00AUP04ZG/. The link you have is to the plain black one, although you can select the genuine leather black one from the options provided.
I received the genuine leather Moko last night, and it is MUCH much better than the plain black one, which has an awful feel to it. The top latch is very good, unlike the Poetic, which seems to have a hard time with the rubber edge of the N10. That's probably more critical for me than the fit at the bottom, since I open and close the case far more often than I pull out the bottom and set it up for viewing. That bottom fit is a bit snug, like the Poetic, but this doesn't bother me too much. I'd rather have it that way than have the bottom swinging loose.

Thanks -- anything we can do to help folks find the right version of this. Even using the link that you provided, though, it's important to note that if you select what simply appears to be a different color than the "genuine leather black", you'll wind up getting a "PU leather" case, not a true leather case. The PU leather (polyurethane over a micro thin layer of leather) is what smells funky (in most instances), doesn't fit as well, and doesn't last as long. You can confirm the difference when you select a color by scrolling down the page and reading the expanded product description.
just got the moko case! it's all right! but I'm not foul satisfied. I'm waiting for the incipio team to make one. The moko is the better option out there right now I think.
Received the moko genuine leather case yesterday. Really impressed with the build, quality and over all feel.

Motorola? Or Moko? The Moko genuine leather is definitely the best of the portfolio/journal cases. I just got the Google book cover last week, though, and have been using that since. Definitely a different, much slimmer feel, a bit less secure feeling because it's just a flap over the screen, but still nice.

Nexus 7 smartcover?

Hi XDA! I am looking for my PERFECT case/smartcover for the Nexus 7.
So the official Nexus 10 has a smart cover that is incorporated into the "rubber feet" on the back. Today, while walking through a mall, I saw these Blackberry Z10 smartcovers that are incorporated into the battery door.
Do you know of a case that is similar for the N7?
this is what the Blackberry Z10 battery door/smartcover look like http://bit.ly/10KGnO9
tried looking around, I haven't yet found anything so I gave up. Now my N7 has no case but I might just sell it an get an N10 anyways
The back has never needed any protection so these folio cases are pointless....it's the front that always has, and a bumper of sorts with the smartcover built in would be ideal
Exactly. The N7 is pretty bulky as is, dont need an extra layer in the back.

I have a moko cover that's pretty sweet. Its a portfolio case that let's you stand it in landscape to use with a Bluetooth keyboard or just to watch videos.
I tried posting a link but since I'm a new users, the forum won't allow me to. Just go to amazon and search for "moko slim-fit case" $15.99
Similar to the Blurex cases.
I've tried lots of cases. I DID like the Blurex/Moko style. However it did add a considerable amount of thickness. I also tried the Poetic case, which is a slim hard back plastic case with a smart case attached. It worked pretty well and latches shut at the end to keep closed. The Poetic case is the best case I've found for a smart cover type protection.
I eventually settled on a hardback book case. It is stylish and gives it a little more protection. The lid stays closed with a strap but some include wood shells with magnets. I opted for the cheapest solution and find it very good. In fact it has held up very well. The tablet is held in by sticky tape. I've owned mine for months and never had it fall out or need to be cleaned/restuck.
http://shop.portenzo.com/hardback-for-nexus-7/
Plenty of color combinations. I have a Red exterior, white inner liner, and a black strap. Nice and clean.
So iPAD mini like smart covers isn't available for the N7 ? I too just need a lightweight smart cover only to protect the screen and not the back and was wondering if something like poetic slimline exists?
The Poetic Slimline does exist, as my previous posts states, for the Nexus 7:
http://bit.ly/192m6YK
The iPad Smart Covers uses many magnets around the edge of the screen to keep the flappy flap tight against the surface. Others just use one side of magnets at the edge of the closing point.
Very good price too. I purchased mine for $20, but it is showing $9.95 at Amazon right now.
The Poetic was nice and I liked it but out of the 4-5 months I owned it, I had to replace it 3 times because the material would break at the seams. Poetic has a 3yr warranty and replaced it hassle free by just emailing them my Amazon order number. Because they are so cheap, they don't even bother wanting the old one returned... so while they were falling apart, other N7 owners didn't mind a free slightly worn case.
Here is a video of them:

Yea. In doing the research and finding that video, I noticed the different colors. When they first came out they only had black. I'd almost wouldn't mind picking up a baby blue or red one.
I noticed colors are a little more expensive.

After so much of research with matching my requirements, I just couldnt find an alternative to Poetic Slimline case. Looks like it isnt available in my country (India) which is not cheap option.
Any idea if there's any similar chinese ones or replica? Have seen few smart covers from China on Ebay but they have the problem of turning off the screen when cover is flipped around.

I've heard good things about the Nillkin smart-wake cases. While the case covers both the front and back, the folding section does not, which makes it a bit slimmer (Hard to explain, take a look at the link for a picture). Apparently these cases don't suffer from the waking issue when folded backwards, either.
Here's a review I found: http://www.androidcentral.com/nillkin-leather-flip-cover-nexus-7
Dad recently bought a Nexus 7 and we ordered this case, though we haven't received it yet so can't offer any first-hand impressions.

Heard about Nillkin so let me see
EDIT:
Doesn't protect the screen as cover doesn't have magnets on edges(magnetic closure) like poetic one to close it 100%
EDIT2:
Ordered Poetic Slimline

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.
Seidio if you see this, make a CONVERT case! Please! Incipio Feather too.
The casemate cases have coating that peels.
Curious to see what this flip cover case is (file in system dump for a case)
Sent from my unlocked consumer edition Motorola Droid Maxx xt1080m.

BEAUTIFUL!
Still need to see if all of these cases fit both sizes of the Turbo.

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.
Otterbox has Lifeproof fre, Defender, and Commutter cases posted... along with 32 NFL team logo Defender cases. Can be found on motorola, lifeproof, and otterbox websites. Sorry I can't post links yet.

Yes, I'm very excited about the Lifeproof case. They've never done a case for any phone besides the iPhone and Galaxy S series.
This was the otterbox that was on display at my Verizon store

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.

That commuter case is not great. Looks extra bulky like the droid maxx version....

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.
