Does anyone have this one or used it? I just watched the video of it at Wireless Ground and it seems pretty high quality (for a silicon case). Would like to hear your thoughts. Its getting harder to wait for the Otterbox.

Looks OK. I had a silicon case and I hated it. Waste of $9. Really tacky, hard to remove from pocket, dust magnet, messed with screen protector.
If you want a temporary solution while you wait for the Otterbox, I recommend a TPU case.
The link below is what I am rocking!!! CHEAP and WORKS WONDERS!!!

I have this and have had no problems. Absorbed one drop with no damage and doesn't get in the way. Super easy to remove and seems to retain shape well.

TPU is the way to go
I just ordered one. I'll let you know how the quality is when I receive it. It has to better than the TMo silicon case that I've had since launch. This thing is all stretched out like a used....ah, you know what I mean.

Thanks for the feedback guys, looking forward to how you like it Maxxreign. Please do update. I have a tpu case now from tpu-cases.com and I am not a big fan simply because it covers and power button and makes it difficult to press. I love the tpu feeling and how it doesn't attract dust though. Tpu doesn't have much give so I am not sure how much protection it would give you if you dropped the phone. I had ordered a $3 silicon case from Amazon (from SF Planet) http://www.amazon.com/Black-Silicon...MMWK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1297189892&sr=8-1
and I dig if for the moment. Slides in and out of the pocket easily. I think I will be sticking with silicon for the moment.
I've gone through my fair share of cases for the MT4G: TMo silicon, Case Mate CC case and the Seidio case. I love Case Mate cases but the added CC sleeve makes for added bulk and the Seidio case just creaks/squeaks like crazy. I'm not a big fan of the silicone cases collecting dust either but they feel great in hand.
We'll keep you all posted.
@DMC78 OEM silicon case came in from WG yesterday. Fit, finish and quality is far superior to the TMo one. Unlike the Tmo case, the power, volume and camera buttons are exposed and the edges ride up a little higher to make for a better fit. In addition, the silicon is a lot thinner. IMHO, this is by far the best case I've owned for the MT4G.

Thanks for the feedback. How is it for attracting lint? Does it fit pretty snug?
Being silicon, it still attracts lint. However, not as much as the TMo one. The finish is comparable to the finish of the hard cases by Case-Mate. Granted it could be because it's new, the case fits really snug.
What kind of protection/case do you use for your smartphone...
Silicon Case (Phone stays in while being used)
Plastic Case (Phone stays in while being used)
Pocket Case (Phone has to be taken out for usage)
Premium Case (eg leather & other materials)
Screen Protector (foil & others)
Something else
None
All answers are greatly appreciated!
I voted for Plastic/Silicone/Protector. I use either the Seidio Innocase II Rugged which is a hard shell with silicone exterior, along with a 3M Vikuiti screen protector.
I appreciate any support since we are developing some for different devices....

Just a little screen protector. Cases are for chicks to accesorize with. Though my fiancée thinks cases are stupid, so...... =P
I vote for LCD screen protector. I think they can make my phone moer durable and beautiful.

I'm currently using a silicone and TPU bumper case along with a screen protector. I'm pretty sure I'll have to remove the bumper when I use the Game Klip I'm buying, though - but it's not a big deal because the bumpers are soft and easily come on and off.
Has anyone had any problems with it coming loose? Does it make it too bulky? I'm coming from a inspire,with a thick speck case,so as long as it isn't like 3 inches thick,ill be fine lol

I carry my Atrix in a Commuter in my pocket all the time. My buddy has his Atrix in a Defender and he likes to use the belt clip. The Commuter is def more pocket friendly than the Defender. I wouldn't want to carry the defender in my pocket if that helps.. As far as it coming loose, I doubt that would happen with either Otterbox case.
Defender - Hard plastic inside, rubber out
Commuter - Rubber inside, hard plastic out

Have you noticed the rubber warping a bit? Mine is a little loose now, and I'm not sure if its because its too hot in the pocket...
Yep. warping on the bottom. Did anyone ever realized that the belt clip can be used as a stand?... I dropped my jaw to the floor. Just push the belt clip all the way till it clips.

I have A commuter on my atrix and it's probably the best case I've ever had on any phone. It's flush with the phone at every point and hasn't warped, at least for me. I highly recommend it

Yea, a few of us have posted on other threads that the Defender silicone will warp and not fit correctly. I've replaced mine already and within a few days it started doing the same thing. Waiting for Ballistic to get around to making these.

I am using this case with my Atrix and it's very protective, but for that reason it's bulky. If you know you are gonna doing some heavy duty use with your Atrix - I recommend this case. Haven't had the warping issues described by other posters.
I'm selling a lightly used commuter... pm me if interested

I have had all 3 otterbox cases/phone covers/shells whichever you'd like to call them.
Impact was junk, just a slip on case, spend the extra 5 bucks of whatever to get the Commuter.
Commuter is sweet, I use it as my every day cover when I'm not at work my only complaint is that the rubber around the top speaker and camera is stretched looser than a porn star's asshole but the case looks and performs well. A screen protector is a must since the commuter does not have a built in one like the defender.
Defender is pretty sweet, I do construction and i am constantly banging into things and I have to use my phone a lot. It's very durable and keep it protected I dropped it off the 4th story of the retirement building that's going up and I ran down and picked it up and works perfectly. Obviously it's far too big for fit in pockets, hahaha. Hence the reason it comes with the belt clip, it looks and performs its job superbly. My only gripe is the rubber sometimes gets loose around the edges but that's no big deal.

+1 I don't do construction but I really like the defender as well. All the protection is really reassuring
I even learned to like the bulkiness it adds cuz with this case the phone looks brutal,
since i unpacked my atrix i wear it in a commuter case, it fits just fine and it makes it a bit bulkier and stylish.
i recognized the rubber is stretching through the physics i learned in school - on very hot days the rubber doesnt fit THAT exactly, but nothing i cant handle with.
i will never buy anything else than otterbox for my phone ^^
i guess the commuter series is hot on the top of what u need of an protective case - i still got no problems with the delivered screen protector, no touch issues.
if you prefer wearing your device on your belt you may pick the defender series
hope this helps
So after all the advice i went with the commuter. But....where could I get a belt clip for it? (other than ebay)

The commuter doesn't have one. Just use a generic "pda" case. NiteIze has some really good ones.

Let's not spam the board by creating identical threads. If you want to sell your case, go to the marketplace...
Any one have a recommendation of the thinnest case that protects all four sides of the phone? I have the GSM Nexus and the Incipio and Case Mate options do not provide cover on all four sides. I was wondering if any one has seen something similar but with 4 corner protection
I don't really like cases as I find the ones with a nice feel to "grab" too much when I pull the phone out of my pocket, but I do use a silicone "skin" occasionally when I want to keep the phone from jostling around in my cupholder or if I'm doing an activity where I don't want the phone to slide out of my pocket easily. They're dirt cheap too, only $2-$3 on ebay.
Rearth RingKe Slim

Definitely a toss-up between Rearth Ringke SLIM, SGP Neo-Hybrid, and SGP Ultra Capsule.
Here's an excellent video review of the SGP Neo-Hybrid. I'm really interested in seeing the same reviewer do the Rearth SLIM, and sent him a PM requesting it. I hope he obliges
The problem that I have with the rearth and the hybrid is that they don't come completely up the side of the phone. I wouldn't mind if they came flush. The capsule might be a winner I'll have to find more pictures.

The Rearth indeed doesn't come all the way up on the sides, however the Hybrid does. Check out the review I linked you, specifically 1 minute and 53 seconds in - you can see the rubber part comes up and slightly over the phone.
In either case it doesn't really matter, either way the top and bottom DO have extruding "lips" so when you place your phone flat on a surface, the screen won't be touching it.

Oh thanks I didn't notice the lip on the Hybrid.. Interesting. Thanks
any of these fit the extended battery in cdma version
I'm currently using the diztronic rev 3 matte black one . Works great and it fits over the extended battery.

I just got my GSM Nexus, and just installed an XO skin (non-case version) on the screen. do any of the above case suggestions interfere with screen protectors? I'm looking to getting a thin case just to increase the grip on the device.
I wish someone would make something like the diztronic but thinner. That way it would have grip and a little protection, but still feel close to stock and fit in docks and such. I saw something like this years ago on a nokia phone.
I have a diztronic case and it's not bad but too thick Imo. I ordered one of those "skin" stickers, but haven't received it yet.

I went with the sgp Neo hybrid. It's much thinner than I expected and provides full coverage. My only is that it's smoothness is hard to get used to and is a little slippery. Hopefully I won't drop it

Good to know, question though does it have a screen guard like the otterbox defender does. I prefer it not to.
I just bought the Ballistic SG case yesterday, will report back when it arrives. I already have a TPU and a heavy duty case so I was looking for a mid range protection.

No it doesn't have a screen protector.
Some things I like about the case:
1. Phone seems pretty well protected but I can't tell you for certain because I haven't dropped my phone yet.
2. Assembly / disassembly is rather simple.
3. No screen protector
4. Cut outs leave a lot of space so accessing the headphone jack and charging port is easy.
Things I don't like:
1. The back of the case is rather slippery.
2. The rubber on the corners is somewhat loose, which could be a problem if it loses elasticity.
I think the Trident Cyclops case is better than the Ballistic in most areas. However, I'm using the Ballistic regularly because the the adapter on my headphones won't fit in the headphone port using the Trident case.
My Ballistic SG case came in today, fits great, nice wide cutouts and a matte texture on the back so its not slippery.

My case came yesterday, it is a great. It fits very well, buttons are very easy to access w/o getting pressed inadvertently. It is not slippery at all either. To me there are only two downfalls, one being that it covers the Moto dimple and the other being that the lips are a little tall on the front making the quick camera swipe a little tricky but still doable.

I found the Ballistic case for the Nexus 5 to be fairly slippery on the sides, but less so on the back. Is the Ballistic case for the Moto X the same (lightly rubberized on the back only)?
Yes the sides of the Ballistic SG case are hard plastic and slick compared to the back. Case is not slippery though.
