Since there is no Otterbox Defender (yet) for the Z Play

You can probably hack a moto z force defender to work on the moto z play, if you must have a defender.iirc, it will work but the mic hole and headphone jack is covered.
 
I wonder how that will work with the thickness difference. Do any other brands hold up as well as the defender? (That's just what I have on the phone I am replacing and it has worked well, and since it's been 3 plus years since I switched, I'm not sure what else is out there, or if Otterbox still is at the top for rugged durability.)
 
Verizon is offering a BOGO deal on cases right now, and with some accounts you can get 25% off too. They have the Incipio Performance level 4 case, which is pretty beefy and is constructed similar to an otterbox. Probably between a commuter and a defender in terms of degree of protection.

I was worried because OtterBox did not make a case for this phone but I went with Incipio performance level 4 it's a nice case I'm satisfied.
 
My wife got an Incipio Level 4 case also and it is nice. For the Z Force I'm just going bumper and style shells.
