G6: protective case recommendation?

[sampoodle]

I just bought a G6 online.

I am not familiar with this phone construction.
What should be a decent case for it - not being a road warrior or heavy user, so I do not need armored plate!

I read about the back being fragile. Other areas prone to damage, possibly around screen perimeter?

I've always liked CoverON. My wife has one on her G6.

Cimo slim matte. It has really nice coverage with a raised edge that protects the bezel.

I bought a Unicorn Beetle and really like it! I wanted an Otterbox but figured they didn't make one for the G6 and the Unicorn Beetle was the closest thing I could find.

I've been using the Speck Presidio Grip for a week or two now, bit bulkier than I'd like, but the protection is solid and it's definitely not as bad as it could be. Previous choice was the Spigen Tough Armor, which also looks pretty good.

I am considering buying the G6 sometime this summer or possibly after the G7 is released about April, will look at that one as well but cases for the G6 don’t seem as common on Amazon as they do for the G6 play for some reason. The G6 play has otter boxes available for it I can’t seem to find anything for the G6. For example the G6 play has a nice ocean way coloured OtterBox commuter but I don’t see that option for the G6 on Amazon.

Just curious why they would make more protective cases for the cheaper play version of this phone. Just doesn’t make sense to me.

Currently running an Otterbox commuter on my iPhone 7 and it’s been great. I’m not a big fan of black cases I want some color.

Yup thanks, I did run across that article. I just don’t know why Otterbox builds cases for the G6 Play and not the more expensive G6.

I took pics of my phone measurements. I'm having a hard time finding a case for this model:

G6 XT1925-12

PS This phone is 6" by 2.75 for my best measurements

Ok, this is the case I think would work for me. My phone is a G6, but I think an odd-ball size, 6" X 2.75" to the best of my ability to measure it. It is an XT1925-12, any help so much appreciated, Denise

I got this one

Spigen Tough Armor Moto G6 Case with Reinforced Kickstand and Heavy Duty Protection and Air Cushion Technology for Motorola Moto G6 (2018) - Metal Sla https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D2YP2Q...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6458974

When I orderd mine. I like it alright.

Getting a case is a good idea. I'd suggest something in simple rubberised plastic is you are not too concerned with the aesthetics of the phone after the cover. It won't have a long life but should be cheaper, even if you consider replacing it every 8-9 months or so. Vendor to check out for these: Casetify or your local mobile shop.

I would not advice going with the PU leather as those are highly unreliable with regular usage. Even with great quality stitching, the outer layer can easily come off in about 7-8 months. It's just better to spend a little more and go for actual leather in that case. You won't find many vendors offering leather cases for Motorola Phones. I saw some on Noreve, but not sure if they carry case for the G6. Please feel free to check.

Also, don't do the thing where people go with the dimensions of the phone and get the case. It does not work out in majority of the cases. You may very well end up with incorrect placements for the buttons, wrong camera/fingerprint/earphone slots. It's better to look for 10 more minutes and find a reputable vendor that provides quality goods.
