The Motorola Razr (2023) is one of the best foldable smartphones on the market, not to mention the cheapest. Budget rivals like the ZTE Nubia Flip 5G are beginning to appear, but Motorola has nothing to fear for now, as ZTE hasn’t revealed plans for a North American release of its new clamshell foldable. This leaves the Razr the undisputed top choice for US buyers who want a budget foldable smartphone.
If you’ve decided to purchase the Motorola Razr, a case is necessary to protect the phone from damaging drops and scratches. While there were limited case options when the phone arrived in the US in October 2023, more options are now available, including models from big names like Poetic.

Nakedcellphone Slim Hard Shell for Motorola Razr (2023)
Best overallEven among slim snap-ons, Nakedcellphone (hey, I didn’t pick the name) stands out thanks to its microgrid texturing across the back, adding much-needed grip. There’s also a whopping eight colorways, including this lovely teal and even camo. The corners may seem unprotected with the gaps, but the shape should let the case break instead of your phone in a drop.

Poetic Spartan Case for Motorola Razr (2023)
Premium pickThe Poetic Spartan is a rugged case for the Motorola Razr (2023).

Foluu Clear Case for Motorola Razr (2023)
Best valueLike the other candy shell cases I mention in this guide, this transparent polycarbonate Razr case won’t do too much against drops, but it will add grip and scratch protection. But because it’s crystal clear instead of candy-colored, this Foluu case allows you to boldly show your Razr’s natural colors instead of covering it up.
-
Motorola Frosted Case for Motorola Razr (2023)
Best official caseCrystal clear cases show every detail of your phone but tend to be smudge magnets. Frosted, translucent cases like Motorola’s official Razr case age more gracefully over time, and because this comes in Lilac and Sage, you can enhance your phone’s color with a new dimension or go for the normal clear and lighten things up.
-
Kukoufey Bracket Shell for Motorola Razr (2023)

Eastcoo Slim Fit Case for Motorola Razr (2023)

-
Niuuro Case for Motorola Razr (2023)

-
Foluu Slim Fit Case for Motorola Razr (2023)
This is what we affectionately call a candy shell case because these sleek, hard plastic covers are like the delectable sugar-coating on M&Ms and Skittles. Available in red and blue, the Foluu Slim Fit will keep your Razr free of scratches, nicks, and blemishes, as well as light impact resistance.
Top Motorola Razr (2023) cases
For most cases, a medium to semi-heavy-duty case doesn’t add much bulk, and because a phone is one static slab, it’s easier for cases to fit and stay put with a sculpted TPU bumper. For a folding phone case, bumpers can’t be relied on to keep the case in place; and when the phone is closed, it adds twice the thickness to the phone than in normal cases. So, while a case is required for protection, thinness is extra important.
This is why most Razr cases are hard plastic shells rather than TPU. Thermoplastic polyurethane offers more flexibility for easily getting a case on and off, as well as more impact resistance. But it usually needs to be thicker than candy shell cases are, as they’re more prone to shifting around, which is a death sentence for a Razr case that needs to stay perfectly in place and line up perfectly.
If you opt for the Nakedcellphone case, you have a plethora of colors to choose from, all of which are textured to provide a firm grip. This is a slim case, so it is suitable to use with wireless chargers. It is easy to apply and stays in place as a result of the adhesive strips lining the inside.
The Poetic Spartan case adds significant bulk to the Motorola Razr (2023) as it is more of a rugged case. Nevertheless, there are some benefits it offers. In addition to being shockproof, the case has a kickstand that works in landscape and portrait orientations. It also has textured sides to prevent slipping, and surprisingly still works with wireless chargers. The hinge is also protected, and those raised edges should ensure that the screens and cameras are not easily scratched.
Despite being slim, the Foluu Clear Case still protects against shocks. And because it is a clear case, the Motorola Razr (2023)’s trendy colors remain visible. Foluu says the case is scratchproof, easy to clean, and has anti-yellowing properties. And like the Nakedcellphone case, it works well with wireless chargers.
