Anyone else getting an otterbox case for this phone!!!?? - Atrix 4G Accessories

I just pre ordered my atrix 4g , and my otterbox case! I'm jizzing my pants! I can't wait to get this thing ! I hope it holds its own for at least a year!

when i get the phone, assuming i like it, i will be getting prob the mid OB case

Hate cases. I like my devices to stay thin.
I'll be getting a ghost armor kit when it comes out, and using that. I have one on my current HTC Aria, and have dropped the phone a bunch of times, no damage. Might consider doing the battery cover in 3M Di-Noc carbon fiber vinyl so the back actually has the CF look all the way to the edges.

I was going to get a OB defender but since I ordered the multimedia dock I don't want a case that is hard to take off.

Ordered... Love the big bulky bricky-ness protection it adds to the phone. I have to have a beltclip as well so seems like the perfect choice for me. I even went to the extent of getting a droid x belt holster and amzer case for my craptivate before the otterbox came out for it

I'll be getting the Defender one. I currently have the Defender for my 3GS and I love it!

Was thinking about the commuter, but will wait a while to see if I even need one. Was about 6 months before I put one on my nexus one.

I hate otterbox, they are the only company that can be twice as big and twice as much weight as the phone and still sell.

Are the Otter Box cases available at AT&T stores already? Otterbox.com just says coming soon.

Yes they are, I have my Otterbox Defender already. Bought it at att for $50. Had the same case for my cappy, love the defender cases.

I used to be an avid Otterbox Defender guy but just got tired going bulky.

oh my god wtf!!! I want my case ! my phone comes tomorrow!! Do they expect me to carry it around naked! What if I drop it? Jesus Christ!!!

I hope folks that ordered the Otterbox didn't also order the docks. Having to take that case off to use the docks is a quick way to never use the docks.

I really like Defender case with a clip. But can someone tell me how much "thickness" it adds?

Got mine but can't say I like it very much...don't know something about them just turns me off..but i got my phone yesterday and didn't want to mess it up or anything so I went down to my local att store and bought the first thing. Sucks cause now i cant return it (no returns on their accessories only exchange)

I guess none of them work with the docks? What cases do work with the docks?

Picked up my Atrix today and got the OB Defender with it. I like the heft and protection of it, honestly. The only thing I wish is that the screen protector that is part of the polycarbonate shell wasn't so prone to grease marks. Looks like crap and I've had it less than 8 hours.

I got the otterbox today. Feels good on the phone. Doesn't really feel too bulky. Actually makes the phone fit better in your hand. I usually hate otterbox, but this one is excellent

I agree. I've always made fun of my co workers with their iPhones in an Otterbox, but after trying the defender on mine I bought it. It is bulkier, but not too bad. Not looking to use docks or anything so that works out.

seidio innocase FINALLY!!!

http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4794.htm
at least its finally posted so we know for sure its real close!
Can you enlight me about this cases. What is so great about innocases?
Features, quality?
Looks good (judging based off of the Innocase for the Nexus One).
How might this case be better than say a TPU/Epik style case? Just curious.
These are the only cases I know of that you can also use with a holster.when I had it for my nexus there was also a option to upgrade to "rugged"which was perfect for me because I was doing construction.

I second that! I usually use a holster with my phone and this case looks sweet. Otterbox won't be coming out with a defender case for our phone so I think this is perfect! I'm gonna us this for the daily and the TPU case when I need to go light
Nice. This is the kind of case I was looking for. It reminds me a bit of the Agent 18 cases for the iPhone (but slightly higher quality, it looks like).
Has anyone used these cases before on other phones? It looks like it has some rubberized material on the outside? Does it attract lint and dust? The official Gel case (which has now become slightly stretched and useless) continues to pick up every annoying piece of debris. I've given up and gone bare until something better (like this case) comes along.
Do a search for "innocase surface" on YouTube and you'll see a lot of reviews. They describe a slightly rubberized feel to the case, but apparently it isn't tacky and doesn't attract dust or lint.
Yes it is 2 pieces and it slides together. Its had that nice slightly rubberized feel to it but not too muck to their point it grips too much

Sold, sold, sold. I want this thing!
Do they typically sell these at T-Mo corporate stores? Or do you guys just get them online usually?
Great holster
I'm a big fan of the Seidio holsters. I've had one for my last few Blackberries. I tried several different holsters but I was traveling a lot and working in ceilings and not one of them lasted more than a month. The clip would inevitably break off. It happened once and I didn't notice until later. I had to spend over an hour looking for my phone that was on vibrate!
I chose the Seidio because it looked rugged. It never failed no matter how much I abused it. Now that I have an MT4G I'm really looking forward to getting one of their holsters for it. I've never used the Innocase, but I hightly recommend the holster. It's built very tough without looking like it. I don't see they have one listed yet for use without the case, but I'm hoping they'll make one.

Really, I bought a Otterbox Commuter for my Captivate and hated it and returned it the next day. The hard plastic looked cheap and the rubber was a lint magnet. I don't have experience with Seido cases but I bought a holster for my wife's iPhone4 and it's great.
Had an Innocase on my BB 8900 and It was good for the most part. It was one of the slide up ones. But It DID scratch the chrome part on the phone.
I did drop it multiple times on the floor and nothing happened the phone. BUT, one day it dropped about 3 feet down to concrete and the case cracked and wouldn't hold the phone well like it did before.
IT did fall on concrete almost that high before and nothing until that one day.
Also sliding the case off a couple of times messed up its sturdiness. Sturdiness as in, when I'd slide it up it stay on. after a while it wouldn't stay on well.
On my N1 I bought an Otterbox case and it was the best case I had. Even though it attracted lint and was hard to take off sometimes, I wouldn't buy any other case !
EDIT: got a battery from them for my N1. The thickness made me get rid of it. Come to find out the stock battery lasted way longer.
I thought the Innocase II is the one that was 2 pcs and snaps together.

I've never seen it before, but nice find. In my hometown, too. I may get one of these to for when I go out on the boat. From what I can see, it's like the Otterbox case but much cheaper.
That looks almost identical to the otterbox defender case, I wonder if the kickstand is any better on this one.

lol....I'm in the same boat as you. My latest failure was an aluminum case which I actually like except for the fact that the metal interferes with the reception. I don't like bulky cases. The only reason I'm considering this one is because it looks like it will kinda-sorta protect the phone against the elements when I take it on the boat. I wouldn't use this as my daily driver because of the bulk.
Except for the kickstand, that thing is identical to my OB Defender. Nice find!
Definitely looks like a decent case. I would probably get one if I didn't already have a Ballistic.

I saw a mall vendor selling them, he claimed they were made by Otterbox but I highly doubt that. They did seem to be of decent quality though and I would of picked one up if he didn't want $20 for it. Not that I wouldn't spend $20 on a case, I just knew a generic case could be found cheaper online. The only problem with this style case is it's made backwards, the soft material should be on the inside like a CandyShell, not on the outside like the Cyclops. I really don't like having silicone on the outside of my phone, too sticky and doesn't stay put. That said it seems like a good deal, I would be selling them for more if it was my listing.

I have the Trident Cyclops case too. It's headphone jack and and connector ports at the bottom are a pain to open. I saw the Trident Kraken case at the mall, it's not any better. I'll compare the Cyclops to this new case from Ebay, in addition to the Ballistic HC and Otterbox Defender.
I bought one a couple weeks ago. I compared it side by side to a real otterbox defender and only noticed a few things different.
The otterbox has the kickstand built into the case and this uses the existing kick stand(like the commuter). The bar going across the camera and speakers is plastic on the real otterbox and silicone on the knock off. The headphone jack and usb jack covers dont fit as well as the real otterbox
I got mine for $8 and am completely satisfied with it

How compatible is this case with cables? I have the Ballistic HC case. The bottom of the case is an odd trapezoidal shape. It doesn't let my micro usb cable from monoprice be fully inserted/"seated." Have you run into this issue with the Ebay case or the Otterbox?
With my ebay bucks certificate it made it 8.57. I couldn't resist. I got the black one with the white trim on front. Looks nice. Thanks OP, nice find.

despite the backwords design of the Cyclops its still one of my favorite evo cases. i personally don't have a problem accessing the charger port and I've never tried using the headphone jack before. I agree the design of the openings could be better though.

I own the Platinum Series case from Best Buy. It is awesome.
Otterbox
I had 3 of the Candy shell cases for my iPhone, but after about 2 months each the cracked. WHile I had them they were great, but not that rugged.
I just got the Otterbox Commuter for mine and that thing is great, even the buttons are covered, and they are easier to press. Plus I can lay it down without worrying about the camera lens or the screen, it sticks out barely on both sides to protect.
One Of My Friends has a black one, you can barely tell its a case. Ill ask and try to hook you up.

The price of that case is the same price I got my bran-new Inspire 4G for.
I don't know if any of you are still looking for a case for the Inspire 4G (or DesireHD), but I have 10 hard shell black cases with a built-in kickstand. The cases are brand new and they also come with a screen protector.
If you're interested in getting one, please contact me at nkd4cl at g mail. I'd be willing to sell them for $15 + $3 shipping.
I just got a bunch more in, so I could drop the price. Hope this price point helps people out.
Depends on your budget and whatnot. OtterBox makes your phone indestructible for the most part (it's very resilient). If you just want a general case, I'd recommend just getting one off of eBay. That's what I did.
Case Mate Tough Case!!!! (ebay TPU not bad either)
to be honest, the TPU cases are pretty nice. not as much protection as other combo cases, but they sell at the mall for $20 and i got one on ebay for 69 cents after shipping. i had to wait a while as it came from china, but i was pretty impressed with the quality. it even keeps the camera from touching the table when i lay it down.
that said, i ultimately decided on the case mate tough case. it has a rubber inner layer and hard plastic outer layer, a nice ridge around the screen to keep it off the table, full port access, it actually makes the buttons easier to use, its fairly easy to get off and on if you need to but it CERTAINLY isnt going to come flying off if you drop it (i would know, from experience...lol)
my girlfriend has the speck candyshell for her iphone, and its nice, but its kind of hard to get the phone in and out. besides, i think the glossy finish will get scratched up quickly whereas the casemate will wear much better with its textured back.
OH and the casemate tough retails for $30 but i got it on ebay new for $15 definitely worth it! i got the tpu as a less bulky backup should i ever want a "sleeker" case or something happen to the tough one.
i looked at a lot of others, but they didnt seem to offer THAT much more protection when they cost 3x as much. this seemed like the best $ to protection for me since i did pay $50 for my inspire lol
My favorite cases hands down are Seidio cases. Fantastic quality, inexpensive, and they are very clean looking. I've used Seidio on my last 2 phones and will continue to use them on future phones that I own. I swear by them.

You can attach a charm to any phone and most phone cases with an inexpensive little "O" ring device. You might be able to find one at a store that sells phone accessories or you can buy them online.
it looks good

Case contemplation

I have had my thunderbolt for about a month now and it is naked. I dont know if i should wait for an otterbox or a ballistic case or just buy something like the active x
as long as you're careful, I say leave it naked!
My recommendation is, if you don't know what you want, then go cheap for now until you do know. The S-Line can be had for just a few bucks ($3-7) on eBay (and some other web-based stores sell it too, I believe) and is an good case. Not amazing, but good to excellent. It will last you until you know what you want, and may be what you want.
I just got my active x case today in the mail. I was tired of waiting for Otterbox to release its case. I'm extremely happy with the case.
i went cheap, cases aren't the quality i like and well... they suck.
i like my case-mate pop case, shinny back gets stratched but i can live with it. the rubber deteriorating that users complained about is more like tiny eraser shavings on mine from the friction going in and out of my pocket, but it comes and goes. i'm still closely examining it. its a GREAT case, kind of thick, but lots of protection.
i might get the case-mate barely there case since i'm very careful with my phone.
another suggestion is the HTC (OEM) TPU case, I like QUALITY TPU cases because they're thin and the material is great.
+1 for the case mate pop, got mine 20% off (use google to search for coupons, 2 minutes saved me $8 lol), standard shipping, case ordered friday morning and delivered via first class mail monday afternoon. I like the fit, I like the protection, and I honestly think the white case is bad ass (makes my phone look like a storm trooper IMO). Otterbox has no plans of releasing a commuter case based on my communications with them and the defender is just overkill for my needs.
wouldnt waste my money on the pop case. im on my second one and it already jacked up.

99% of the people Ive seen have problems with them. I wouldnt take my chances.
On Ebay I found an Otterbox knock off for thirteen dollars with no shipping cost. Had the built in screen protector and all which I promptly removed because it sucked. Came with a hard snap on shell and a rubber case to put around that. It doesn't look to bad at all and was a lot cheaper than Otterbox.

i am looking for a case that would protect if it was dropped and bumped around
After purchasing a soft case at the Verizon store where I bought my TB, I chucked it a few days later after it fell off a bunch of times. I ended up buying the Seidio Innocase II Surface Case on ebay. Best case imho.
It fits well and seems pretty sturdy. I know it's a pricey case, but I'm looking at the long-term in not having to buy a bunch of "cheaper" cases down the road when one will suffice.

Best EVO case?

I definitely need some recommendations on cases. I currently have a Sedio Innocase Active (blue). Its definitely taken a beating. And the soft (inner part of the case gets annoying, and is definitely showing some wear. What cases do you guys have on your phones? I need a new case ASAP! I dont really have much of a preference. Just as long as its durable, and looks good!!!

If you want SERIOUS protection, the Ballistic HC is the only way to go. I ordered mine the day they released them and haven't even thought about using anything else since. Some people don't like how bulky it is, but nothing else even comes close to the level of protection you get with the Ballistic.

i started having issues with my ballistic case a few months ago. The rubber border next to the power button became detached, and I received a replacement for the front that was a little different in design. The rubber on it started peeling as well and the proximity sensor doesn't pick up, so it is impossible for my screen to turn on while in a call (hitting the power button in a call doesn't work either)
I'm looking into an alternative, and possibly one to hold an extended battery case as well.
I use the Otter commuter case, modified to fit with my extended battery. Dropped it pretty hard twice on concrete, phone came out just fine. Only issue I have with the case is the cover for the HDMI and Micro usb ports. Doesn't stay closed.
I know you didn't ask about an extended battery, but I'm just going to put in my .02c for the trident case with the extended 2000MaH battery:
http://www.tridentcase.com/product_5_117.html
It has exchangable rubber bumpers that you can purchase separately, AND it has a built in screen protector. i've had mine for months now, dropped the device 2x and absolutely NO damage.
Wonderful case for the price and an extended battery that really didn't add that much thickness.
Otterbox Commuter = Awesome
I HIGHLY recommend the Otterbox Commuter series case. I've had it for almost a year now, and it is amazing. I've been pretty rough with my phone, but it has saved it from any sort of damage. It provides fantastic protection and feels solid and strong in my hands, but at the same time it doesn't make the phone seem bulky and has a great very smooth, sleek, thin feel to it. Definitely the best of both worlds in terms of balancing strong protection with sleek good looks.
Another thing I love about Otterbox is their amazing customer service and 1-year no-questions-asked warranty guarantee. I recently broke the case itself somehow (the phone stayed completely protected though) so I emailed their warranty services and told them, and they simply asked for my shipping address and sent me a new case in under a week! They didn't even ask for a copy of the receipt or pictures of the broken case. It was the fastest, easiest warranty claim I've ever had.
If you do go for an Otterbox, definitely buy it off eBay and not retail. You'll save yourself a good $20-25. It's about $12 new on eBay. I'd post a link, but I'm still a noob
Otterbox is definitely the way to go. I am unaware of what solutions they have available for extended batteries but it may be worth while to look into.

I too have to throw in a full reccomendation for the Otterbox Commuter.
Fits like a glove, and keeps the phone stylishly protected. It looks great, and has saved my phone from 4 drops I've made (one which I thought the case couldn't have saved it from, but nevertheless it did.)
I like the silicone ones. easy to deal with.

I have to agree with him. Also check out Incipio feather case. Best as far as having a slim phone with some protection.
Otterbox commuter is inmho the best if your hard on your phones, or you want extra protection.
But I switched to the casemate barely there about 4 months ago and its hands down, my favorite case. Ive dropped my evo a ton of times, and.its still doing just fine...

I'm also looking for a case. I think I'm going to get an Otterbox. Either the Commuter or Impact Series. I haven't dropped my phone yet, but I know I'll be bound to someday...
Thanks to everyone for suggesting cases!

If you go for the Commuter (which I highly recommend; it offers great protection, but has great style, feels good in my hand, and doesn't add significant bulk), you should get it here on eBay. Save yourself $25.

Thanks! I totally forgot about ebay!
I had the otterbox impact case. It is way too loose, doesnt fit snug on the phone. Over time gets even bigger almost a quarter inch too long vertically than the phone. Dissapointing.
If you really want protection I recomend the ballistic case. It's rugged and very durable. I got mine on Amazon for about 30 bucks after shipping
