The 5 secrets of  getting a “right” Moto G case for you

When purchasing a Moto G case or Moto G cover, there are five secrets :

1. Limit your budget. You’d better have a clear idea how much you plan to spend on your  Moto G case. Do  not  just check the price tag. Expensive case or cover is not necessarily better than cheap ones. Or course, if you have more budget, you may have more options. You may set the budget for your Moto G case as less than $10, $20, $40, $60…
2. Understand  the protections you need. If you drop your smartphone quite often, you probably need Moto G case with decent impact protection, e.g., OtterBox case.
3. Check the quality. The material used for case or cover is extremely important. Poor quality material actually may not provide any protection to Moto G. A non-fit case may even damage your phone. When pursing online, you should read the reputation of the store and reviews of the specific Moot G case.
4. Know your preference. What design do you like for your Moto G case? A back case or a flip cover? Black? white? Anyway, this is purely personal choice. You should be able to find the desired case for your Moto G. Don’t be lured by any “sales” pitches.
5. Have a targeted weight (and size) of your Moto G case. Some Moot G cases or covers may be heavier than your phone. Some may be just  20-30 grams. Most bumper cases are slight larger.

Of course, the following Moto G case recommendations will save you time in comparing the cases and covers for your Moto G.
