The best Moto G Power cases and covers

The Moto G Power (2021) is Motorola’s budget smartphone for this year, costing $200 yet offering a huge 5,000mAh battery and an inviting 6.6-inch screen. With a tidy edge-to-edge display, it also looks the part, although if you lack a suitably reliable case, you may sooner or later blemish its attractive design. Fortunately, we’ve put together a list of the best Moto G Power (2021) cases, so you won’t have to worry so much about accidental falls and knocks.

Urban Armor Gear makes some of the most rugged smartphone cases around, and this Scout case for the Moto G Power (2021) certainly continues its fine tradition. Its dual-layer build marries an impact-resistant soft core with a harder outer shell, which together prevent surface damage and scratches. If that weren’t enough, it includes a non-slip surface and also raised edges, which help to keep your phone’s screen out of harm’s way. UAG also says it can be sanitized with medical-grade wipes and disinfectants repeatedly, without smudging it or altering how it looks.

Here’s a very nice transparent case that will show off your Moto G Power’s good looks while keeping it in one piece. It’s made from Itskins’ Impacthane polymer material, which together with built-in air cushions will protect your phone from drops of up to 10 feet. It also includes raised bezels to protect the G Power’s screen and cameras, while the antimicrobial coating will kill up to 99.99% of microbes that happen to parachute onto the device. As an added bonus, it’s very slim, so you’ll be able to get it in and out of your pocket without needing to wrestle your jeans.

Spigen is one of the most well-known brands in the smartphone case industry, and with good reason. Its Rugged Armor Case for the Moto G Power (2021) combines the best of both worlds, being a slimline cover that also provides a serious level of protection. It’s built from a mix of flexible TPU and carbon fiber, which enable it to absorb all manner of shocks and falls. It also includes the obligatory raised lip, so that the phone never lands directly on its screen or camera module when dropped. To top things off, its tactile buttons ensure that you can use the phone exactly as normal.

This is an ultra-thin case that’s also highly transparent, letting you bask in the glow of the Moto G Power’s actual body. It’s made of high-grade TPU, which is flexible enough to wrap easily and snugly around the phone, but also hard and durable enough to resist scratches and fall damage. Each of its four corners come with an air cushion, adding extra protection in the case of drops, while there are precise cutouts for all of the phone’s buttons and ports.

Simicoo Leather Flip Wallet Case

Leather wallet cases are a dime a dozen these days, but this number from Simicoo is one of the most tasteful and useful of the bunch. It’s composed of quilted distressed leather and an underlying silicon layer, providing dual protection while also decorating your phone. The case folds out to open like a book, letting you stand up your phone to watch films or call friends, while you can also house two credit/ID cards and put banknotes in a third slot. What’s more, the case closes securely thanks to a strong magnetic closure, so there’s little risk of it suddenly spilling open.

It looks like Motorola is finally fixing its software update problem
A render of the Motorola Moto G75 smartphone.

Motorola may be catching up to companies like Samsung and Google regarding the number of years of Android updates it provides for its smartphones. A new Motorola phone could come with five years of updates, and it represents the second Motorola phone to do so in as many months.

The recently announced Motorola Moto G75 will come with five Android OS upgrades and six years of security patches. By our count, this would mean that users will be able to update their phone to at least Android 19, considering that the Moto G75 ships with Android 14. Last month, it was announced that the Motorola Edge 50 Neo would include five years of OS upgrades and security patches.

Is this our first look at Motorola’s next Moto G Stylus phone?

In a week already filled with leaks, another one has emerged that shows off the Moto G Stylus (2025). This is particularly noteworthy because the last G Stylus model was released only two months ago, so it's quite early in the process to already see a successor. Alas, here we are.

Compared to the Moto G Stylus (2024) and its leather back, the render of the 2025 model shows a seemingly glossy finish. The design of the phone otherwise looks mostly the same as the current generation. The render shows a dual-camera setup on the back with a flash beside it, but do note that the render isn't the best quality. You can take a look for yourself below. The stylus also looks to be a slightly different style, but given how blurry the render is, it's hard to say for sure.
