Moto Z and Moto Z Force Cases
![moto z and moto z force unboxing initial setup aa (9 of 24)](https://www.androidauthority.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/moto-z-and-moto-z-force-unboxing-initial-setup-aa-9-of-24.jpg)
The Moto Z represents a fairly big departure from the Motorola design of old, offering a new look that sports a modular design dubbed “Moto Mods”. This new design is certainly one worthy of protecting. That metal body looks great, but if we know anything about said material, that’s the fact it is very prone to scratches and dents. Let’s also not forget that metal tends to be a bit on the slippery side.
Are you looking for a great looking case for your Moto Z or Moto Z Force? There are quite a few options out there, and we know it can be hard to find the best choice for your needs. With that in mind, we are sharing some of the best cases we were able to dig up. So let’s jump right in and take a look.
Moto Z Force Cases
Motorola Swappable Backs

The simplest of all the Moto Mods, these Motorola designed cases are available in a variety of different colors and styles. If you are into the feel of cloth, then there is the Herringbone Nylon, which is a black material with a zig-zag pattern. Or perhaps you are interested in Crimson Ballistic Nylon, a rich red color in a tightly woven pattern? If wood is your fancy, then perhaps you like the Silver Oak: a light-grey color with a fine grain texture. The list goes on and on.
Pricing varies depending on if you pick wood and fabric, at $19.99, or leather, at $29.99. And of course, being official cases, they are designed for the perfect snug fit.

We live in a time where smartphone manufacturers are making powerful products that look really nice, so why should we cover up the industrial beauty of the Moto Z Force? With this case, you can feel better knowing that your phone can take an accidental drop while still looking great. Thin and lightweight, you will barely notice that the case is there. The case’s material prevents slipping and a soft TPU bumper helps to survive falls. The phone is also designed to carefully fit around all the phones ports and is priced very reasonably at $7.95.

A little more variety never hurt anyone, and when the cases are inexpensive, why not get two? Cimo offers three cases with clear backs and colored edges: Black, Clear, and Blue; and also offer matte options in: Black, Blue, and Smoke. Like PLESON’s other offerings, these are thin and lightweight and provide an anti-slip material and TPU border to protect against accidental drops.
