I purchased a cheap hard shell case from eBay to protect the phone while I'm waiting for a decent case to come on the market although for £1.95 this case was pretty good quality. The phone with the case on would not charge or fit with any of the inserts provided with the DK48 Magnetic Charging Dock. BTW I dont believe any case will fit in the DK48 Magnetic Charging Dock with the inserts provided no matter how thin the case is.
I removed the insert, added some foam padding,and trimmed the case slightly which allowed the phone to sit in the dock and charge. It works great

Trouble is the Case Mate Tough doesn't protect the side where the mag port is, I think it's going to be a big ask to get a case with all around protection and allows access to all the ports?
CM just for starters i hope someone make a good one like Ballistic Shell Gel Case with open magnetic port

Likewise! The only chance we have is if we all send messages through to them. They'll see that there's a demand and make it happen
I've done my part so far...

Hi, i have some questions
Does it hold Z3 Compact as good as without case?
Thickness of your foam padding?
Where did you buy it?
Thanks

Hi, The DK48 is better with the standard insert and no case, its always a bit fiddly getting the magnet and pins to line up with this setup. The foam is about 3mm, I purchased from a supplier in the UK. Just need to google self adhesive closed cell foam.
BTW that case cracked across the weakest point so now I'm using a sline wave tpu case until can find something better, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161435312...49&var=460475411980&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Same here...only one i've seen so far is the otterbox....but it's very bulky. I hope theres other option coming soon.
Yeah bought the otter box but I will be returning it. The case makes the phone too large. Also the clip holster is huge as well.
I bought the bodyglove case from att.com and picked up a universal bodyglove smartphone pouch this morning at walmart. Now my phone is protected and I can carry it on my belt.

I tried an Atrix 'thin' case from a mall kiosk today for $10 and was about to grab it until I found I couldn't really use the fingerprint scanner. It seemed that either the hole wasn't big enough or the material was too thick around the fingerprint reader.
I too am looking for a belt-clip case that swivels with no magnet for the Atrix.
write to seidioonline... they make great clips...
I'm using the feather case in a droid x plastic belt clip swivel holster. Works great! The holster is a lil taller than the phone tho. It worked great on my captivate as well. Would def. Recommend to anyone that wanted easy access to the phone asap

Why no magnet? Does that cause a problem?
Reason I ask is that I found a Duracell leather carrying case at the dollar store that has a magnetic closure in the flap. I figured I'd wait and get the protective case (probably a Body Glove Mirage or an Incipio Feather) first than then confirm that it fits in the Duracell case before buying it. It's a really nice looking belt-clip carrying case.
magnets are what causes it to go into the car docking app i believe, so it would cause it to launch whenever a magnet gets near it
I am using one from an old Samsung blackjack and it fits perfect. A lot cheaper than anything coming out also!
I bought a nice universal one for 30 from att fits perfectly and I can charge while its closed

Followup about the Duracell leather case. The Atrix naked will barely fit longwise. With a Body Glove Mirage case on the phone, the Duracell case is too tight.

I don't believe that is correct. AT&T sells an AGF Premium Leather Case for $39.99 (too pricey for me)
The description reads:
AGFs Premium Leather Pouch is made from beautifully crafted leather. This case is equipped with special sleeper magnets so that when your device is placed in the case, it automatically goes into sleep mode and helps preserve your battery life. AGFs Premium Leather Pouch also includes our 180-degree rotating belt clip, allowing for adjustable placement and maximum comfort. Our attractive magnetic flap, with a contrasting leather stripe, makes securing your phone amazingly simple. This pouch has all the utility you'd expect, paired with the style you want.

So apparently magnets don't make the phone activate the car docking app.

Not so fast. Apparently ATT just generalizes. Just check the problems everyone is having from this case from the reviews at ATT.

Yeah they really do. I absolutely love the clip for my Blackberry 9700. It was a shame they didn't have a solution for my Captivate (without using their case). Definitely hope they do something for the Atrix though!

I got a neoprene case from Office Depot made for a 10" netbook. Works really well and was only $7.99
i bought a merkury case at radioshack which is used for ipad but fits the xoom well it also has a nice front pocket which I use to put my charger and hdmi cable in best of all it was only 9.99
I bought this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002STX2ZG (hopefully link shows, if not search amazon for Caselogic VNA210 10.2-Inch Netbook/iPad Attache) perfect fit and a little extra room for odds and ends if you need that style, a little badding but not to bulky and only $15 to boot.
http://www.codidirect.com/laptop-bags-laptop-cases/capsule-neoprene-sleeve-for-motorola-xoom.html
What do you guys think about this case? Do you think it will fit with the gel case on the Xoom as well? I like the red stiching the and breathabililty aspect of it.
Could anyone suggest a good Innocase-like solution for the Xoom? Silicone/Gel style would do, but looking for a rigid case with a rubber outer coating for grip.
one made from stm fits well, cant post since im to new but look for STM jacket ipad. works well with or without portfolio case

innocase is supposedly making one for the xoom. you just have to wait a little longer for it to come out.
Take a look at Waterfield Designs, SF CA. They just added a few Xoom items to their catalog. I bought the suede jacket which is just a very minimal sleeve, excellent quality and just what I needed for keeping my Xoom in my briefcase.
Hello all,

Some pics would be realy realy nice, so everybody could see how it fits and if they could get used to it.
EDIT: Also you can add the SGP Neo Hybrid and SGP Neo Hybrid EX to the list. First one has a loose are around the camera (as seen in another thread) and the other one fits nicely.
I would put some pictures up but I don't own all of them, and a few I've checked out in Retail stores, however If I buy any that fit, i'll make sure I post up photos of the fit.
Then just put the pictures in you own. Some others who have the extended battery and a case could send you their pictures and you could implement them into your post.
When I get my S2, 2000 mAh battery and decided for a case i will do some pictures for you, too.
PS: You could link every name of the cases to their official pages, too.
Here are some:
SGP Neo Hybrid EX: sgpstore.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s2/sgp-samsung-galaxy-s2-case-neo-hybrid-ex-series.html

Case-Mate Barely There: case-mate.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Cases/Case-Mate-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Barely-There-Cases.asp
Hope I can help improving your thread I think your thread can help very many people.
Would love to know about the Otterbox Commuter compatibility.

Hi all!
Yes, as most soft cases the Graphix fits, but you'll see some looseness in the camera section. Also, I did not like the grip of this case at all, it felt slippery imo.
I went for the Neon hybrid instead, very satisfied.
How tight is the fit on the Case Mate Tough case with the 2000mah battery? I like the look of it and just placed an order for it. Is it so tight that there's a risk of damaging the phone?
Zenus Skin Air Jacket
Just got the new battery and put it in my Zenus Skin Air Jacket... dont know what to say... sadly it doesnt fit... but its useable.
The edge of the phone comes out a bit and therefore the access to the volume and powerbutton is limited.
I made some photos but cant post the links due lack of postcount
The Walnutt bumper fits for sure, but hell, it it even fits my Momax 2700mah Expower batts, so that's a moot point.
I am within the M25 and have an otterbox for my S2 if you need to try it then pm me.
what is the sense of using a bumper of a sgp neo hybrid ?
i mean, isnt the purpose of a case to cover the whole phone? both the examples above mentioned appear to just cover the borders of the phone, leaving uncovered the whole back of it.
actually sgp neo hybrid series sounds just like a overpriced bumper.
anyone, can prove the opposite?
actually i am very interested in this because it looks like there is no real hard non/bumper case fitting with the new battery: and the only (crappy) solutions appear to be either bumpers or gum/rubber cases ...

IT fits but the rubber part is under a small amount of pressure, pushing the phone out of the hard plastic casing. it is MINIMAL, if your like me and fiddle with your phone all the time, it is just a case of pushing it with the lightest touch back in.
It won't damage the phone unless your trying the impossible (pushing the phone into the bottom cutout.) and pushing so hard you crack the hard plastic shell in otherwords impossible. the ideal would be to cut the rubber out in the shape of the battery lid compartment. on the rubber part, then assembling with the hard casing. so you remove the tension off the added thickness.
if I have a hybrid neo spg .... and put the battery without the back cover ... only with the case spg ... looks good? or can cause problems? (Sorry for my English)

Cool. Thanks for the detailed description. I hate to mangle new case, but I may have to do that. Wonder if cutting out the battery compartment rubber part may reduce shock resistance of the case.
Can anyone tell me if it will fit in the Samsung Leather Pouch?
If not are there any other 'pouch' style cases that will?
thanks

I own it, but I didn't review it like I normally do. Not sure why. The case is a very good case for a 20 dollar case. It's basically a bugdroid tpu hot glued into a wallet case. It's a bit bulky, but the majority of that is the tpu case itself. The case is a smart case and the clasp is nice and strong. However the clasp is a bit of annoyance to me because it sits awkwardly on my wireless chargers. The best qi charger I have to use it with is the Tylt Vu because it can accommodate landscape charging. The orb barely holds on and it just sits crooked because of the clasp. I'll sell it to you if you want. I have the whitish/black version.
From this wallet case, I went onto the Rock Slim Elegant case. VERY thin. Think of it as the Poetic Palette with a flip attached to it via hinge. Very slim compared to the Cruzerlite, but not as much overall protection. Plus the front flap doesn't stay closed, but I have it in my pocket anyway. Needless to say it works with wireless charging like a champ. However, not a smart case. No magnets on this case. I would say this would be the minimalist flip case. No card pockets here.
And then I found what I initially thought was the perfect slim wallet type case; the Seidio Ledger. I have come across an issue with what Seidio calls the soft touch on the case that holds the phone. While it feels like pure butter in your hand, my two cases resulted in the soft touch material rubbing off on various parts of the case. I have been working with Seidio for the past week and seeing if there is a fix for it. So the jury is out on it. I love it, it has a cut out for the LED, no other flip case I know of has this, the kickstand, not needed but nice to have, has a smart cover and the metal kickstand is not THAT obtrusive when placing in my various wireless qi chargers. I have the Tylt Vu, Nexus Wireless charger and the Nexus orb charger.
After few days of using this case, here are my toughts.
GOOD: Kickstand, Dual layer protection, materials, price, and design
BAD: Top left corner doesn't fit perfectly, orange colur is not as vivid as it is on the picture of E-Bay seller.
Price of the case is 2,74 $ with free shipping. I think it's a real bargain. You can see more in this "quick look" video.

Can you post a picture of the side with the magnetic charging port? I assume it's covered but wondering if you can trim the inner case to be able to use the magnetic charger or will the black back piece be in the way? Is the orange part TPU or softer silicone material?
