Just bought this morning a clear/black Supcase for my ebony Moto X. Will see how that looks, may also buy a few more clear cases to compare.

I almost went with the "clear" option as well, until I noticed that all the reviews mentioned it is actually frosted/pretty opaque. After seeing my friend's case in real life, I still think it looks good, but it definitely isn't clear.
Assuming based on the eyeball test that the bumper adds less than one-fourth of an inch to the total width of the device, I think it should fit.
Question: what holster would anyone recommend. I'm in a wheelchair so putting the phone in my pocket isn't practible

I haven't seen holsters mentioned really. The Otterbox Defender usually comes with one. I'm sure Amazon will have a few options.
Edit: There's a few listed on Amazon. If it were me, I'd stick to Seidio or Otterbox for a holster and case since you'll want something reliable. Unless someone comes in here and can give you a first hand account of some other cheaper options like i-blason, etc.
I know the Seidio holster and case for the HTC Incredible were well reviewed back when I had that phone.

The Puregear soft touch shell/holster available on Amazon for $16:
Amazon.com: Puregear 60326PG Shell with Kickstand and Holster Combo for Moto X - 1 Pack - Retail Packaging - Black (60326PG): Computers & Accessories
I don't have a Seidio for my Moto X but I had one for my GNex and I really like the Seidio Surface/holster combo, too if you want a color. It comes in blue, red and purple and has a great feel to it. They have black, too and the case comes with and without a kickstand. Here is a link to the blue surface with a kickstand:
Amazon.com: Seidio BD2-HR3MTXPK-RB SURFACE Case with Metal Kickstand and Holster Combo for use with Motorola Moto X - Combo Pack - Retail Packaging - Royal Blue: Cell Phones & Accessories
The only negative complaint I have about the Seidio is the clip on the top of the holster broke on both of mine eventually. The little metal springs just snapped from use. If you don't want to put a case on yours, you could get a backless bumper and that should work with the Seidio surface holster, which you can buy separate from the surface case.
Amazon.com: Slick Shell TPU Black and Black Hybrid Plastic Backless Bumper Case for Motorola Moto X: Cell Phones & Accessories
Amazon.com: Seidio Surface Holster for Motorola Moto X - Retail Packaging - Black: Cell Phones & Accessories
Never tried Otterbox, but I can recommend both the Seidio surface/holster and Puregear shell/holster from first hand use, with the caveat about the Seidio clip eventually breaking. The Puregear is my favorite but it only comes in black.
I'd go with the Seidio case and holster combo. I have it and the Otterbox Defender and though it's easier to insert and remove it seems more secure and less apt to come out on its own.

I've seen some cases that look frosted but I still want the ebony wood to be seen. As for the clear back on the Supcase it looks pretty clear with maybe a light tint over it.
Have a white Incipio Dual Pro. Do not buy one. It has a soft touch finish that absorbs every spec of oil and dirt.
Ordered a Trident Aegis in red. Will post back when I get it tuesday.

I picked up "Hyperion TPU" off Amazon for about $6. Pretty cheap case that came with a screen protector which is cheap as well :O It does make the buttons a little harder to operate but I don't use the unlock button very often with the X.
I like it because it doesn't have branding all over it and it has a cutout for the back dimple.
I like the way the shape of the X hides the bulk of the phone even with a cheap-O case!

It is grippy enough to keep the phone from sliding around on a table/counter?
The matte finish back feels like very fine sandpaper and the "band" has a hard rubbery feel. When it first arrived the gloss part had a "tacky" feel to it which I didn't like but I think it was some goo left from manufacturing. It wore off after a couple of days and now I'm really liking the case. I assumed the matte back would scratch up a lot but it hasn't yet after over a month. No saggy edges either... I'd say it's no more/less grippy than a naked X back. I keep mine face down when not pocketed and the rubber bezel helps it stay put
It was supposed to be temporary until something better came along but I think I'm just gonna stick with it. Definitely not a premium case but I'm not looking for a replacement.
I have the Hyperion tpu case but found that dust particles would get inside and scratch up the piano black front and side edges. In now using the bear motion quicksand case, which has become my daily driver. I also have the seidio surface hard case but prefer the quicksand case.

I hope this isn't a re-post. I searched the thread first. Incipio is releasing a waterproof case for the moto x similar to lifeproof. I can't wait to check this out.
