Got the case today, decided to take some first-hand pictures. Unfortunately I have to wait until Friday until it can wrap around a phone. But, I figured I would post some photos and first impressions.
I must say that it feels amazing in your hand. The material is soft, but not too soft. Build quality of the case appears to be very nice. There are a few spots where it appears there are rough edges, but once on a phone they would not be noticeable.
The case in it's package
Here you can see the felt material on the inside of the case

Compared to my Hero w/ a cheapo hard/rubberized case

So there is a soft felt-like material in there....hmm... will definitely need to look into that. If you drop your phone, how well do you think the case would handle it?
I love hard shell outside/rubber interior cases because they can take a beating (wife's Speck iPhone case)

If it's anything like my Hero's case, it will do great. The case is taking a nice beating but the phone is mint.

i used the simple silicone skin from sprint with my hero and it was great. it definitely attracted lint and was hard to take out of the pocket, but i dropped the phone on concrete numerous times and it just bounced with absolutely no damage to the phone, even when dropped screen-down. i'm worried the seidio case would be less shock absorbent as it's not really rubber

My Hero's case has held up really well. I dropped my phone on my garage floor and it slid about 2 feet. No damage to the phone.

its alot like the best buy one made by Seidio seen in this thread http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=207109

Now, all you need is the phone! lol

Seidio Innocase looks hot.

I ordered my Seid case but I think I might have screwed myself. I'll most likely order the big battery when it is released and I assume I'll need a different case. Does Seidio usually mane an Innocase for the larger battery?

Best Buy carries the same case but under a Best Buy house brand name. The Seidio name is on the box though. On the back of the case it says "Pt" instead of Seidio. Just got it today. They have it in gun metal, black, and purple. $29.99. It's an awesome case. Perfect fit.

I'm having a hard time removing the case. Help?

Push lightly on the back of the lower half where the two halves come together, then pull the top part off. I had trouble at first, but it came off after I did that.

Thanks for providing that tip on how to remove this case. I had a hard time removing it earlier. Which by the way, I was able to to remove it but not by the way you just described. Your way is way better
Thanks

I have one too as I have for my Treo Pro and Hero. I find that my Evo case is loose at spots? Anyone else find this? It might just be mine.

I actually thought it was a little loose, too. The case is clipped on snug, but it feels a bit wobbly in certain areas. Definitely not something that takes away from the quality of the case, but I wish it were a bit more snug.

This case and clip are amazing..I can clip it for work and put in my front pocket when I'm out..

you know you could put a piece of tissue paper in the areas that you think could use a bit more snugness. Any extra tissue coming out from the sides can be removed with tweezers

this case is awesome. best buy gave me 50% off since they were either out of the bluetooth headset or it was only for the first 10 people (they werent sure...lol)

Seidio Innocase Extended

After I got my external wall charger I quickly became tired of removing the battery door just to remove and swap my batteries.
At first I cut out a section of my seidio extended battery door to allow me to pop my battery in and out very quickly but it left me with the problem of keeping the battery secure while I was using the phone. That's where the Innocase extended comes into play. I had cut my extended battery door on wednesday, ordered my innocase on thursday, and received it at my doorstep friday morning. You can buy just the innocase by itself (without the battery/door combo) from amazon but unless you cut your door like me or just want the added thickness and weight, I don't see very many people buying these.
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innoce...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1284823928&sr=8-31
What was nice about this is that the Innocase extended snaps over the extended battery door and is held by the sides of the phone. It's now easier to remove the case without fear of breaking any tabs and I never have to remove the battery door since I cutout a section for the battery to simply drop in and out.
It does add a bit more thickness and weight to the phone but for me personally it works since I prefer to keep my phone in my pocket versus a holster or belt clip. The added weight is a plus for me because I would actually drop my evo alot more when it was using the stock battery since it was so light (for me at least).
Now for pics.
A shot of the innocase off, my battery door with the cutout, and my second battery. I have the second battery door on standby since the one I cut was already missing tabs and I'm just waiting for this one to give out.

Sideshot of the innocase cutout around the volume buttons. It really doesn't hinder access to the buttons at all and in my opinion helps to protect them a little better from unnecessary button presses.
Innocase on. It lays over the extended battery door and snaps onto the sides of the phone. Very secure.
A shot of the area around the camera.
This one is the bottom. The kick stand is still easily accessible and functional. The pic is blurry because I was too close to the phone when I took the pic.
You'll notice from the pics that there is no top and bottom coverage of the phone. This is why the case is easily snapped on. For most this would be a deal breaker since they would want protection all throughout the phone. Personally I am fine with the way it is setup.

great pics. very cool in my opinion. I just ordered a seidio innocase rugged, and after seeing your post, wish I would have got what you did. thx for sharing your photos.

It's definitely worth every penny. It can even be used over the stock battery door too. And think about this...if you use it over the stock battery door you can keep a second charged stock battery in the hump for a quick swap. No need to dig for the second battery and it protects the camera when you lay the phone on its back.

nice idea
I like your idea, tempted to give it a try, cuz I know just where you are coming from. Popping off the extended battery back plate can get very irritating.
I was thinking since you have cut off the area on the back plate there will be a small gap between the back plate and the innocase. I was thinking just to insure that you battery dont jar out (even slightly.) You can add like a cushion (something heat resistant)on the inner side of the Innocase plate to help keep the battery push snuggly into its home position.

No need. I have purposely bumped my evo in a way to try to get the battery to break loose enough to cut power to the phone. The gap is minimal and not enough to allow the battery to shift enough for the contacts to seperate and I have not had the phone go out since doing this.
By all means you can use anything you like to help close the gap but if you decide to do this I think you will find the gap to be very little cause for concern.
Good luck.

The only problem its that there's no holster yet for the extended case. For me that's a deal breaker. My evo is naked with the seidio holster. I hate not having a case but I NEED the holster.

It's not for everyone I know that. For the people who don't mind the added thickness and weight of the extended batteries this is something they may like to do especially since the extended batteries MUST be charged in an external charger.
As for myself, I can still fit the phone in my front pocket and it actually feels like it isn't going to snap in two when I sit down. Not everyone's cup of tea but just showing what I am doing with my evo to give people an idea of what they can do.

What the best way to cut this?

You can use a dremel or a triangle blade. If you choose the blade you have to be patient and have steady hands. If you choose the dremel you have to use low speed and still be patient.
I personally used the triangle blade to score the cut lines, then the dremel to cut most of it off, then the triangle blade again to finish off the edges.
I would suggest one or the other or both depending on how comfortable you are with either option.

Charging extended battery
It was mentioned that "the extended batteries MUST be charged in an external charger". I have an extended battery and charge it just fine while it is in the phone. I do not use an external charger.

Next time charge your extended to full in the evo. When it is full, power down your evo. Wait about ten seconds after it shuts off and reboot then observe your charge level. It will not be full and more than likely will be less than 80%.

Evo sure looks ugly with the extended battery.

Agreed....

I just got my Innocase extended in. With a small mod, the PT holster that I bought from best buy(it was the PT version of the innocase and holster combo) will work with this installed. You have to be a little careful taking the phone in and out of the latch but it will work for now. It fits without the mod but has a little play in it at the top. A thin strip of foam glued on. I used one of the small black squares that came with the packplate of a cpu heatsink.

So you want an extended battery and only have $10 to spend ;-)

You can start with THIS then order THIS
Heheh, technically I don't have that exact silicone case, but I'm sure most will work the same.
I can't tell you how the battery behaves as I haven't cleared the battery stats and only started using it today, but I am struggling to get it down from 70% to 0 if that means anything (screen at 100%, everything turned on, playing games and flash, etc)
i9000 batteries don't fit the i897 so you have to peel off the label then cut a small piece of plastic off the end as you can see in the close-up. It only took me 10 minutes with a kitchen knife but it fits, it's secure, it lasts longer than stock, and it's $10 including the case then you can turn around and sell the cover to your buddy with an i9000 for $5

Good job! I was wondering if that would work. Does the case hold the battery securely? On the flip side, is the case overly stressed?

Excellent idea!
One thing I am worried though, is Captivate battery cover that also acts as ground?? gps antenna?? Phone has two contacts on both sides of the cover...
I am not sure what all the unintended consequences would be if you run the phone without the cover for extended periods

The slider locks the battery in place so that isn't an issue. As for the case, mine is a little thicker than most of the other silicone cases I've seen. I'm doing the same thing with my x10 but because the cover is a thinner material, it fits even better on that phone.
As for the ground, I was under the impression that it was only there to amplify wifi signal. And wifi is working fine for me without it.

I thought about doing something like that if I could find a cheap replacement battery door. Cut a square hole where the larger battery fits, epoxy the battery around the door, sand and paint. It would be slimmer but might look ugly and wouldn't fit the dock anymore. The silicone case would at least make it less noticable.

Functional: Yes
Ugly: Yes
It's just a question of priorities, I suppose.
I'd rather keep a spare battery in my backpack.

I actually don't care too much for silicone covers, I'd much rather use a tpu cover. Problem with those is that they don't stretch enough to accommodate these batteries. It fits, but looks awkward.
I wonder if I took a heat gun to it, if it would stretch. I might order another one just to test that since they only cost about $4 on ebay.

Yeah, no **** it's ugly...but due to the placement of the battery at the half-way point of the phone, any extended battery cover will make it ugly.
I have 2 spares but there're occasions when I don't want to have to swap batteries.

Like I said, it's a matter of priorities.
If battery life is your main concern, go for it.
In my typical day I still have 60-70% left when I go to bed anyway, and I have a spare battery and charger for my travel days.

I only need an extended battery when I plan on streaming a soccer game or UFC or something. Even while connected to a charger, I can barely stream a UFC event unless I have the brightness turned right down. (and I use up >700mb )
Having used up one full charge, I'm pleasantly surprised with the performance (which included over 4hours screen on time and 11hours since plugged in).
This is probably a 2300-2500mah which I'm happy with for the price. I was expecting 2 900-1000mah batteries tied together, so this wasn't bad!

Good idea i'm gonna look into trying it out

The cover they send doesn't look like it would work on our i897 phones. Did it fit on yours ? I really don't want to just try and hold the battery in place with just a silicon cover.

You have to understand that because of the design, I had to cut a bit of the plastic around the battery cells. As long as you cut it correctly, the battery is locked in when you close the sliding tab. I can take the silicone off and shake the phone with no fear of the battery falling out.
I added a new pic to the first post to give a better idea how the plastic was cut.
On my x10 only the silicone holds the battery in place and even then I never had a problem.

your pic still isnt the best. try editing with paint and add some arrows. and describe more than, "you cut part of the plastic on the battery".....

Oh an important thing about your mod, the metal backplate (that you dont have) is part of the wifi/gps antenna. thats what the 2 gold contacts on the back of the phone are that touch the back plate.

Whoever orders the battery will be able to see what needs to be cut unless they are complete idiots (in which case they shouldn't be playing with knives in the first place). Look at the first picture and remember that battery was originally square. I didn't intend on making a tutorial out of this, I'm just trying to help some people out (people who prefer function over beauty of course )

I was concerned about that since people have mentioned that on several occasions. WiFi works fine without it, and on my way home, my GPS worked quite well without it also (didn't really notice any degradation compared to GPS with the backplate on).
Now that I've done some testing, I'll be reverting back to standard battery for general usage. This one will be used for when I need to use GPS for long trips or stream over an hour of flash content

I haven't noticed a difference on either wifi or gps. I haven't even bothered to trim the battery yet, just slipped my silicone case over the battery to hold it in place. I kind of like the result - it's a lot slimmer than a plastic back with an extended battery case over it.

It fits a bit better and looks a little nicer if you trim the battery though.

True. I went ahead and did it last night. The pack looks like it was built to be trimmed. Under the label, I found a plastic spacer which lifted right out. Then I just used a Dremel to cut off the remaining thin strip of plastic.
Thanks again for the idea.

After reading the whole thread, I bought this for only $9.99: http: // bit.ly/h6FUob (sorry I can't post links yet as I don't have enough posts on this forum :/ )
so I hope I did the right thing folks
cheers

hmm a 3000mah NON mungen... i wonder how good it will be for that price.
i hope you noticed it comes with a i9000 backplate not a captivate one...
the 3200mah mungens are going for 70 bucks still on ebay.

Seidio Innocase II Surface for Atrix - Review

I've been using Seidio products for quite a few years now on my phones. It started back with the Blackberry Pearl. Since that first experience, I had decided that this was a brand of protection I was going to use on all future phones. Of course, that didnt keep me from trying others as well, just knew it would be the one I would keep.
Most recently I picked up a Motorola Atrix to replace my Nexus One. The whole time I had my Nexus One it was shielded with a Seidio Innocase cover. Unfortunately, when I picked up my Atrix there was no Seidio available, yet. In that time I decided to pick up the Otterbox Defender case. I had never used an Otterbox case before but after receiving the product, I deemed it way too bulky for my daily use and promptly put it back in its packaging.
My favorite parts of Sedio Cases are that Innocase II Surface is designed to protect your phone from scratches and drops while barely adding to the size of your phone. Many users find their sleek design easier to grip than a bare device due to their signature soft touch finish, which enhances the look of the phone and does not attract lint. This is huge for me because I put my phone in my pocket most of the time. This case easily slides in and out of the pocket without sticking or creating more bulk. The Otterbox had a soft rubber outer seal which stuck to the pocket and constantly needed cleaning of lint.
One of the other design features I've become quite fond of is their unique slide-in design which makes putting on and removing your case easy. One piece slides on the top and then the other the bottom and they form a clasp that holds together. This is much easier than the Otterbox which is multiple pieces with an additional piece surrounding all of that. If you ever have to do a battery pull, you know how frustrating it is when you cant get your case off easily. That being said, the Innocase is not simple protection either like a cheapo case you pull off the rack and fit the phone into.
I also liked that I have full access to the screen. I dont use any screen protector and the edges of the Innocase are raised just enough that if I placed the phone face down, the screen wouldn't touch. However, if I chose to put on some type of film, it wouldn't inhibit the use of the case either. Unlike with the Otterbox, it has the film built into the case which would sometimes create blotches where it touched the screen.
When using the case it immediately felt comfortable and while I noticed slightly more material to grip the phone with, I was still able to use all the buttons with ease. The fingerprint reader opening is designed so that the finger easily slides in the same manner as without the case, yet still protects it. The volume buttons were easily manipulated as well and all the ports were very accessible yet clearly protected.
The only downside to this case, and pretty much any other case out there, is that it does need to be removed in order to fit into a dock. I have the standard dock and no matter what angle I tried, the phone with the case on wont fit. Again, this is a situation where having an easily removable(yet sturdy) case is a lot less frustrating than a more difficult one. Especially if you're using the dock every night.
EDIT: As pointed out by another member, the dock DOES work. I had no clue the base of the dock pops out to allow more access to the USB pin via phones with cases. So even with the case on, it WILL work on the bedside(standard) dock.
Overall Im very happy with this case and is the one I've been waiting to come out for the phone. The other nice thing about the Seidio cases is their matching holster. These are just as slim without the bulk. Plus the have the ability to lock the phone into the holster, thereby eliminating accidental removal.
There might be other designs or knockoffs of this product, but there really is only one Innocase.
Please find pictures below comparing the case with the phone, my old Nexus One with a Seidio Innocase II and an Atrix Otterbox Defender case.

thanks for the review! i've been hoping to see some non-seidio pics of this for a while. do you happen to have any full-case shots of it without any comparison cases? i.e. just the phone and case itself, also the back of the case, etc?

The first picture should be of just the phone and the case side by side. Ill post a pic of the back of the case shortly. Are there any other case shots requested?

thanks for hte review, i had the innocase for my captivate and the one thing that really bothered me was how the lip on the edge of the case around around the screen is raised so dirt always got trapped between the screen and under the edge of the case. is this a problem with the atrix?

Ive never had any issues with dirt getting trapped under my Seidio cases. I can tell you that with this Atrix case, its very form fitting and Id be surprised if dirt got under the edge.

This seems an awesome review for the seidio case for the ATRIX... Can someone suggest a nice and (cheaper ) place where I can get this awesome piece of hardware??

I disagree with what you are saying. Dust gets trapped there like any other case that is raised like that. It's not a huge problem for me, but I find myself detaching the case and just wiping quickly when my pockets are too linty. But it isn't a huge problem for me.

If anyone is interested. The black case with bundled holster/clip is shipping now. The colored ones were still showing "Soon". I have it on the way.
I did not see anything on the clip in the OPs review, so when i get it i will followup with pics.

I also had an N1 with the same case. BEST case ever, is correct. I need to know if the Atrix combo will work with the car dock?

I had a Seidio on my Nexus 1 and loved it. This one is just as nice. My only gripe is how tough it is to remove. The N1 case had a little give, this one won't budge. For me the only way to remove it was to slip a plastic shim under the locking tab.

Here are pics with the case and the clip.
So far so good. I am very pleased with this case/clip. I have to carry 2 phones and my old holster seemed to just be too bulky.
The phone sits in it securely
Its sturdy, the clip is secured with a brass rivet and not a plastic one so should take a lot of force to break.. The clip swivels so you can have it Vert or Horiz on your belt.
The spring on the top does not seem to have the same tension as the one for my blackberry so I have been nervous about setting it horizontal.

Its sturdy, the clip is secured with a brass rivet and not a plastic one so should take a lot of force to break.. The clip swivels so you can have it Vert or Horiz on your belt.
The spring on the top does not seem to have the same tension as the one for my blackberry so I have been nervous about setting it horizontal.

heh it looks like your speaker grill has the fignernail indent from thinking it was the power button? you can easily press/smooth it back out next time you have your battery cover off. it bends back just as easily

Ya I got that trying to use the phone at 3am. I have a very loud and annoying notification set for an emergency email address that use for work. It went off and i had a hell of a time waking it up

I just ordered this case after spending 3 days with the Otterbox Impact. Otterbox makes excellent cases, but the Impact is just a silicone case that doesn't fit as snug as I wanted.
Hopefully it will be as good as people say when it arrives in a few days.

I just ordered it too - should be here around Wednesday. I'll report back with my findings. Based on your review though, I'm pretty excited about it. I don't normally spring for cases.

It arrived today!
It's sweet. I'm too lazy to post pictures.
It's a super snug fitting case, and it's not obnoxiously branded (ahem, speck cases), and it has a good feel in your hands. It also barely adds on any thickness to the already very thin Atrix.
All in all an excellent investment in my opinion.

i am from Argentina, anyone know if they shipping? as charged? many
thanks!

Hey guys! I just got my case in the mail today and after using it for a full day, I can say that I love it.
The added bulk isn't too noticeable. In fact, I find it easier to grip the phone with the case on. The soft-touch plastic is wonderful, though it does stick a bit when I put it in my pocket.
One nice touch I've found, whether intentional or not, is that the case helps direct sound from the back speaker. I found watching shows on my phone to be noticeable louder.
10/10!

I've been through a few cases since I got my Atrix. This one is BY FAR the best I've used so far.

Ballistic Cases for Atrix!

Came across these by accident. I LOVE THEM! I was looking at the cases available for the Infuse, and found this odd brand by the name of Ballistic making a case for it. I became jealous and Googled them. Google took me to their website which I discovered, OUR PHONE is supported!

These are great if you have a UHaul to carry your phone around in after you have encased it in this thing!

The second one from the right...
It looks like it would suck to wake the phone up or use the fingerprint sensor.
And taking this on a plane TSA would think it's a bomb

Just emailed them to let me know when they are available. I have the otterbox defender and while I usually recommend them, the one for the atrix has issues. I'm on my second outer silicone part, and this one doesn't fit right either. The bottom corners bulge away from the inner plastic part, which makes them come off pretty easy.

x2

The cases happen to be made right here in Fort Lauderdale on the other side of town. I may go get one on Monday. I have the Commuter case which I like, especially since the ports and earphone jack have covers to keep out dust and dirt and the case is easy to get on and off. I dunno if the ballistic has covers and there are no pictures of the front i can find but the design and colors look nice and I am sure the protection is good. Anyone get one yet?

Damn that thing looks thicker then my otterbox defender case. I like the color schemes though. Does it come with a holster? I have to use the holster with my defender case, just to hard putting it in my pocket.

Let us know if you get one. I definitely want one! Black on black is my choice, but the red/black looks pretty cool too.

Awesome!

Got my Ballistic SG
Well I recieved my Ballistic SG in the mail today, got it off ebay for $22 bucks! I haven't bought a lot of cases for my Atrix yet, I tried a Otterbox Impact on launch day and was disappointed with that. This case however feels extremely tough, My brother has the Otterbox Commuter, which i thought was awesome untill this one showed up. It feels very solid, The ports on the side are left exposed, as well as the speaker grill. The space for the fingerprint sensor does feel a slight bit cramped when swiping downwards, I may have to re-enter my prints to get it to read more accurately, but for now it doesn't seem to affect it too much. I've only had it for about 30 minutes but so far i'm impressed. The case doesn't slide around on the phone (though that may be in part to my invisible shield). The rubber/silicone layer does attract dust, but overall I'm happy with my purchase. I attached a few pictures if anyone's interested.

Not a bad looking case ya got there... is it rubber or plastic or both?
Edit: so the grey is rubber, red is plastic?
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is. This post might have errors as I hate touchscreen keyboards.

Yeah, the black part is rubber, the red is plastic, with a weird layer of black, that feels like slightly rubberized plastic. After using it for a few hours now I'm still satisfied with it. Definitely feels more solid than my brothers commuter case. Now to wait for the HC to be released and try that sucker out.

Dude, that's freaking sweet looking. Can't wait for the HC cases to be released.

Can you please drop your phone from the second or third floor while it's in the case and if nothing happens can you drop it without a case? I just want to check how though is the case before investing in it.

epic !

I like it! May replace my Commuter, even though I couldnt be happier with the OB.

covered ports
I did not buy this case (yet). It looks really similar to the Commuter case as the designs are the same///a soft rubber held on with a hard plastic. However, the ports are not covered on this one. On the commuter both ports are covered in addition to the earphone jack. Someone here reported dust on the inside of the screen and it may have entered thru the earphone jack? On my wish list is a case with a built in stand.
