The Motorola Edge is a stylish phone offering excellent battery life and a beautiful screen in a light, compact design. If you’ve been lucky enough to get your hands on one of these beauties, you’ll want to ensure it’s protected before heading out to show it off. There may not be a ton of cases available for it just yet, but we’ve picked the best of the bunch to keep your phone safe. We’ve also got some of the best cases for the Motorola Edge Plus.
Show off your new Motorola Edge in this ultra-slim clear case from Olixar. It may be slim, but it takes protection seriously — as you’d expect from Olixar — with a transparent gel construction that’s flexible yet tough. A raised bezel keeps your screen protected when you lay your phone face down, there’s a non-slip coating for added grip, and the interior features a bubble dot pattern designed to repel moisture. At this bargain price, it’s a must-have.
Clear cases don’t have to be boring, as this floral design case proves. Made from shatterproof TPU and polycarbonate, there are corner airbags to provide additional drop protection, and you can choose from five fun floral designs — our pick is the purple flower version pictured. At this price, you could pick up a couple of these and always have a spare handy.
This case’s sleek design ensures it looks more expensive than it actually is — but that doesn’t mean it scrimps on protection. Made from durable TPU with a rubberized gel coating, this case has a matte finish that repels grease and sweat, making it less likely you’ll drop your phone. 3D technology has been used to create the cool carbon-fiber pattern, while a patterned interior promises to improve airflow to keep your device cool.
Want a phone case that sparkles like a ’70s disco on a Saturday night and offers excellent protection for your new phone? Check, check. Available in a cool silver version or a more vibrant teal and purple colorway, this clear gel glitter case features glitter that floats around when you move your phone. But it’s more than just an eye-catching case — its soft TPU construction absorbs and disperses shock from drops or bumps, while precise cutouts for the camera and charging ports enable easy access without removing the case. A raised 0.5mm screen bezel and 3mm camera bezel offer additional protection.
Rugged cases offer additional protection for the clumsy amongst us — like this one from Damondy. Its dual-layer construction of a tough, shock-absorbing TPU inner and a polycarbonate hard outer shell provides superior drop protection for your phone, and there’s a raised rubber bumper for added cushioning. Front-facing speaker grills provide an enhanced sound experience when you’re listening to music or watching Netflix, with rugged yet responsive button covers and a raised bezel for additional screen and camera protection. Our pick is the red version, but it’s also available in blue and black.

Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
Samsung’s scandal over its Game Optimizing Service, or GOS, has returned with a bill attached. South Korea’s Fair Trade Commission has tentatively fined the company 20.1 billion won, or about $15.1 million, over gaming claims made for the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S22, and Tab S8.
The regulator says Samsung promoted the devices as gaming powerhouses without disclosing that GOS placed preset CPU and GPU limits on certain demanding games. Samsung disputes that conclusion, calling GOS a legitimate way to manage heat.
