I have purchased all three Case Mate cases for the Moto X 2014, and I am not being compensated in any way to write these reviews.
Hula Case:
I found the Hula case to feel somewhat awkward on the new Moto X. It felt weird not having a back on the case. The button travel was slightly diminished by the bumper, but I do think the textured power button is a nice touch. Overall protection from the Hula case is very minimal. I cannot see the Hula case preventing screen breakage for drops, so I would only use the Hula case if all you need is some extra grip on the phone. The big positive of the Hula case is that it offers an unimpeded view of the custom Moto Maker back you chose. Obviously you dont want to completely obscure the beautiful, work of art you created.
Gelli Case:
The Case Mate Gelli Case for the Moto X 2014 is a solid case, however, there is one major downfall. That downfall being button feel. Pushing the buttons with the case on completely eliminates any tactile feedback. The only indication you have hit the button is on the screen. This really disappointed me because I really wanted to love this case. The Gelli Case does somewhat obscure your custom back plate, but the material is semi transparent letting some of the color through. The frost black model I have you could almost say tints the color of my red back plate.
Naked Tough Case:
The Case Mate Naked Tough case for the Moto X 2014 is the best case of the three cases Case Mate offers. I have nothing but good things to say about this case. The visibility of the custom Moto Maker design, and the added protection of having a back make this case the best of both worlds. Unlike the other two cases, button feedback is incredible. There is just as much feedback using the power and volume buttons as if the case were off. The Naked Tough case is definitely a great buy and offers great protection. It consists of a clear plastic shell with a silicon bumper that goes around the inside of the plastic shell. That silicon bumper makes me feel much better about this case actually doing some protecting.
