[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
I agree with everything you say in this post. I fell in love with the Tech21 cases when owning my LG Nexus 5. They are FANTASTIC for protecting your phone.

However, the bezels of these Quark phones are not as slim as the phones LG makes.

I'm not concerned about the height, nor the thickness -- but the WIDTH. THAT is where you really hold the phone. Display size almost means nothing. Sure, I want the biggest display possible, but I also want to be able to hold the phone. Display size has almost no relevance to frame size. For instance, the 5.5" LG G3 and 5.5" iPhone 6 Plus have the SAME DISPLAY SIZE. Which phone would your rather HOLD? You hold the FRAME, not the display.

In recent years, LG has really, really focused on making their bezels as unobtrusive as possible, which allows them to put a larger display into a smaller frame.

Compare the 5.2" LG G2, 5.2" Quark, 5.5" LG G3.

Both the 5.2" LG G2 and 5.2" Quark (Droid Turbo, Moto Maxx, Moto Turbo) have the same display size. Yet, the WIDTH (the key spec, in my opinion) of the 5.2" Quark phone is closer to the 5.5" LG G3, than the 5.2" LG G2. Why? They both have Snapdragon quad core chips inside. The front facing speaker of the Quark vs the bottom facing speaker of the LG G2 affects the HEIGHT, not the width. The larger battery would affect the thickness. (Both the LG G2 and LG G3 have a 3000 mAh battery, while the Quark has a 3900 mAh battery.)

Just a place where Motorola could improve.

Anyway, my point is, LG made the 4.95" Nexus 5 with their super slim bezels. Putting the Tech21 case on, the overall size was great. I LOVED that case.

But on my Moto Maxx (ballistic back), the Verizon Tech21 case feels too wide -- due to the ring of D30 material.

You can see that in these two pictures above. Not my phone, someone else posted them -- but still proves the point. That D30 ring makes the phone very bulky.

With the Tech21 case, the width of my phone became 3.25" The too-large Nexus 6 is 3.27".

The whole reason I got the Moto Maxx (Quark) over the Motorola Nexus 6 is because it has the same specs but in an actual PHONE size, not a tablet size. :p Can you imagine how big a Nexus 6 would be with a case on it? :rolleyes:

I tried some other cases, but could not find any that really fit the ballistic back well -- until I read this thread and these posts and tried the Diztronic case.

WOW. :cool:

Got it yesterday from Amazon. Fits like a glove over the ballistic back, and yet keeps the phone very slim feeling in my hand. Much slimmer than the Tech21 case and fits the ballistic back perfectly.

I know the Ballistic + Kevlar backing the Moto Maxx has is very tough, as far as preventing damage to the phone. But I also know the ballistic fabric has a tendency to fray... I do want to keep my phone as pristine as possible for re-sale in the future. Yet, I also don't want to feel like I am holding a Nexus 6. :rolleyes: So, this Diztronic case is perfect. Since the phone itself is so tough I probably don't need the Tech21 case, but still want to protect the condition of the Ballistic Nylon fabric -- and a case gives the phone one extra layer of protection, which is never bad.

Got it off Amazon for $8.95 with free shipping (if you are a Prime member).

If you have the ballistic back model of the Quark, make sure you order that Diztronic case and not the one for the Kevlar back. Ballistic back has Ballistic Nylon + Kevlar layers, while the Kevlar is Kevlar only.
