Phandroid Recommends Cases and Screen Protectors for Moto G Power (2026) Despite Durability Claims

Phandroid stresses that MIL-STD-810G compliance does not make the Moto G Power a rugged device.

Overview

  • The guides highlight the phone’s unchanged build with a silicone polymer (eco leather) back and plastic frame alongside IP68/IP69 and MIL-STD-810G claims.
  • Recommended cases range from Motorola’s official option with a stated 4‑foot MIL‑STD‑810G drop claim to third‑party picks from FNTCASE and Poetic with rugged bumpers, added grip, and kickstands.
  • Phandroid advises using a case to guard against bumps and drops because compliance labels do not guarantee real‑world ruggedness.
  • Motorola’s display now uses Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, yet Phandroid still pushes tempered glass for extra protection.
  • Screen protector picks include 9H tempered glass options from Supershieldz, Natbok, Beukei, Anoowkoa, and Aiziki featuring 2.5D edges and hydrophobic/oleophobic coatings.
