I think this is the BEST case for the vibrant

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...Category=20336&_trkparms=algo=LVI&its=I&otn=2
Not sure if anybody's tried this case or posted a thread about it but this TPU case is less than 5 bucks so I figured I can't really lose much here if I'm not satisfied. I bought the other TPU case that's pretty common on ebay with the polygon design on the back and I hated it because it made the unlock button so ridiculously hard to press that I had to use my nail. I eventually ended up cutting the button out with a razor blade but I was still unhappy because I didn't like the polygon design.
When I saw this case I noticed in the photos that the button design on the case were circular instead of squared like the other TPU case and that the back design were just criss-cross diagonal lines which I thought looked MUCH better and the circular button design appeared to function a lot better from the photos although I wasn't quite sure but like I said I figured what the heck could I really lose but 5 bucks.
Anywho, I got the case in today and it's the PERFECT case that I've been looking for. It keeps the phone looking thin and the buttons are soft and easy to press just like I was hoping. It functions just like the black silicone case you can get from tmobile but still keeps the phone looking thin. I definitely recommend this case and I think it comes in various colors.
Just wanted to give my .02 cents and sorry for the ridiculously long post lol

Very nice...Liking the power button.
Can u take pics with it on and of the buttons?

I can't really take any photos cause I don't have another camera but it pretty much looks exactly the way it's shown in the ebay photos. The fitment is great also. It's really well worth the 4.48 or whatever the price was lol.

I had something similar for my HTC Magic, the one issue I had with the case though is since it is silicone and not as hard as some materials, you have to make sure you keep the case in its shape; I flashed a new Rom on my Magic every 12 hours (which required to take the case on and off frequently) and my case started to become deformed and leave major spaces between the phone and the case allowing dust to get inside.
This is just my experience from a similar product but try it, it protected my phone from many drops without giving the phone itself any damage.

do these types of cases stick to your pockets? I have the t-mobile gel case and it pulls my pocket lining out with it half the time.

No these are made of tpu so it's not sticky like ordinary silicone skins. It's a more solid material. Doesn't have that rubbery feel that regular silicone cases have. I have the tmobile gel skin too and although it's much better then your average silicone case I didn't like how it added a lot of bulk to the front of the phone.

thanks, i agree the t-mobile case is bulky as well

ahhh, i bought that, got it 2 days ago, i LOVE it.
it covers the front around all the way until the glass area so its very tight.
very flexible, and in my opinion i think it offers more protection than the hard cases because of the cushioning you get from the flexibility of the material, but its still very solid, pretty easy to take on and off too.

bought one and agree
very nice case, great tight fit, minus the annoyances of all other cases I had tried

Is this the same as this case?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772826
If so I really like that case and would like another design pattern.

No that one is different. That case has a hard backing where as this case is silicone tpu all around.

Ah Ok, I was hoping it was somewhat simular. I could really go for another look. Black gets a bit boring after a while.

Just got this case in yesterday. I must say it is the best case for our phones. I like how the back is clear too. I did a lil graffiti on a piece of paper and slapped it in the back and it looks pretty cool. I wanna stick a $100 bill. I think that would look cooler than graffiti

Case v. No Case?

God I hate using a case with this phone. Its so thin, yet hearty. And looks so damn good naked.
Has anyone found a case that barely impedes on the thickness of the device yet still provides adequate protection? I use the OEM gel skin and it's great protection but I'll be damned if it doesn't thicken my phone up like a sunuvabitch. Makes it feel like my old t-mo Wing!!!!

let me start by saying...i HATE cell phone cases...ive had all kinds of phones from nextels to moto pebbles to the mytouch 4g and never once NEVER have i bought a case for one
so knowing that...i bought one of the tpu fusion cases...let me tell you something...i couldnt be happier with this case...very thin...very light...lots of good grip and feel to the case and it fits the phone like a glove
now i dont have a whole helluva lot experience with cases especially for this phone...but this tpu fusion case has to be hands down the best just based on what ive read and seen about the other cases for this phone
so i recommend you spend the 5$ it costs for the tpu fusion case and just order one
LINK: http://tinyurl.com/4hwj6jj
BTW im not any type of sales person or anything for the cases or the people who sell em....just love this case a lot

That's what I keep hearing. Thanks for the insight, and the link. I can't believe the TPU cases are so damn cheap...

as for cheap...yes they are very cheap and i couldnt believe it either...but quality doesnt seem to be lacking even at that price

I LOVE the way the MT4G looks and feels without a case. However, I've dropped my phone 3 times in the past month. Each time was indoors on carpet or hardwood, but still it was enough to keep me using my Epik cases.
I just wish the cases were just a little thinner. I'd risk less impact protection for a slimmer profile.

I bought the sleeve that came with the Nexus One off of eBay for $5. A little snug at first but after a few days fits perfect.
I like it because you get the naked feel of the phone but it's protection in your pocket. It also cleans the fingerprints off for you I've been using it for 3 months and my phone looks brand new.
Plus it's stylish with the little Android logo on it.

Have you tried a skin? I know it's not the same as a hard case, offers less impact protection, but it adequately protects the phone from cosmetic scratches and blemishes, and I do believe it helps with your typical cell-phone drop (i.e. I think it helps protect the phone when dropped a few feet, but anything hgher than 5 or 6 feet and it won't make much of a difference). But with any case, if a phone takes a long fall it's gone, and I don't plan on tossing it off the side of a roof. I've been using Best Skins Ever for about a month and am REALLY pleased. Like you, I'm not fond of big bulky cases - I like the natural look of the phone, and these skins allow me to protect it while not impeding on the size or look of the phone AT ALL. BSE is all I've tried but there are many different kinds - a lot of people complain of orange peel/grip issues, but I am totally happy with the BSE, and I'm picky about texture.

On a note, i don't understand why people put a super thick case on a thin phone, like a otterbox defender case on a iPhone 4.... totally defeats the purpose of a thin phone and looks dorky...

Slip case for MT4G
I do exactly what Joey above does-use an OEM Nexus One case. Protects the phone and you get the nice feel of its shape and texture when you unzi-- I mean, take it out.
But I turn the N1 case inside out because I hate the feel of the regular fabric.

FWIW my phone got a lot creakier after I put on a TPU case. I developed a creak by the camera button after using it naked for a few weeks. I than got a TPU case from ebay, and now if I remove the case, the whole top creaks when naked.
Maybe it would have happened anyways, but I thought i'd throw it out there.

since i just scratched my chrome bezel after owning it for a couple months im going to get the case. ugh why did i wait

I'm aganist cases, just because it hides the beauty of a device and the thiness. But I just got a solid black glossy TPU case and it looks awesome, I got it off ebay and don't think the seller has anymore of them. But my phone is white and I hate it, I kick myself for getting the white one, actually had no choice, when I traded my G2 off cragislist.
But with this case, I don't see any white, except around the charger port, and **** looks sick. And I'm the type of person that can't stand any scratches on their phone, I need it to look perfect and brand new. Never say you won't drop the phone and get a nasty scratch on it.

I would prefer not having a case, but my biggest concern is getting dust under the LCD. My e-71 was a very solid phone, and it eventually started getting dust under the screen. I hope to have the mt4g for a while and I'm trying to avoid any dust issues.

My TPU case just saved my life again! Fell 4 feet onto the tiles and just bounced onto its back, zero harm done.

Curious how a case would prevent dust from getting under the LCD? Where does the dust enter?

Wow, they got here fast via regular mail! Look and feel is great. The black is solid black, not transparent at all, which is good for me. The purple I got for my wife is indeed just as seen on the website.
Buttons have a good, positive feel, not hard to press at all. Texture on the sides is nice and provides good grip. Best of all, makes the phone feel like the lean mean machine it is, unlike the T-Mobile skins they replaced.
Here are some pics of it on my phone:

To be honest, I'm not sure. The only thing that makes sense to me is that the dust somehow gets pushed into the phone's cracks from pressure/friction of just pulling in in/out of pockets. Adhesives/seals never stay perfect, and it's just a matter of time. This has always been an issue with Phones/PDAs.
A case is basically another layer of protection. Also, since the phone is thicker pocket lint is now rubbing against the case, not directly rubbed into the phone's edges/cracks.
That's the theory anyway. My phone just fell off my bed and hit a table.
It was comforting to hear a rubbery impact versus a metal/wood whack.

Ringke Cover for Motorola Atrix.

Today I got in the mail a new case for my Atrix. The only case i had gotten for this phone was the Otterbox Impact. This case is slimmer than the Otterbox. it also seems to be a bit more firmer. i was playing around with both the Otterbox and the Ringke case and i found my self applying a bit more pressure to fold them. yes their both siliconish like but im starting to like it a lot. it doesn't add that much bulk and it also solves the super slippery grip on the phone itself. I find my self liking this case more than the Otterbox. less bulk and less slippery. the otterbox had a grip issue for some reason.

Besides the pretty packaging, it is almost the same as the hard case I got via Amazon for $3.45 shipped.

its not a hard case tho. its like silicon/tpu kind of. i learned my lesson with hard cases with my backflip. its messed up the side of the phone pretty bad.

Yea. Right now i have a cheapy eBay TPU case for my Atrix. Nice case overall. Waiting on one of those Pure Gear cases i ordered which should arrive tomorrow. Figured i'd see what it's like. standard shipping was free, and the case itself was only like $20, so i figured if i don't like it much, i could either possibly resell it, or i'm just out a little bit of money. Wouldn't be the first time i bought a case for a phone that i wound up not using. Waited so long for one of those Tech21 iBand's for the iPhone 4.... but when i finally got one, it was so thick that it was difficult to reach the ring/vibrate switch, and the lock/power button was just odd to press. Wound up still using the free smoke colored case from InCase for that whole thing Apple did about the antennagate until i sold the phone, and sold the iBand along with it.

This one is okay. buttons are all accessible easily. i like the feel to it to.

how is this different from tpu cases sold on ebay? and can you get different colors?

Grey.... black.... to-ma-to.... to-mah-to.... either way it's a shade of grey.... and it's transparent. Calling something Aqua Black will just confuse people, and make them think it's something totally different... when it's more than likely smoke.

I just got a review unit as well. I literally just got mine today, so I can't say too much about it, but I am liking it more than I expected. I've used cases on a couple other phones and always ended up disliking the case, but I could see myself continuing to use this. Mine is the maroon color... I'll post pics up with a better review once I've had at least a day or 2 of use.

The case looks very nice. They offer a plug for the headphone jack on the website. However they are saying that taking off the cover to replace the battery a number of times will eventually stretch the case out of shape which is unacceptable, expecially considering the price. It doesn't say exactly how many times you can take the cover on and off before it loses its shape.

as do all cases do and $16.99 thats cheap
Broke down and ordered this case reason's being
Thin and no bulkness added
protects around the edges which is important to keep the case intact when the phone drops
its light
its colorful
as many of you saying that it will stretch out thats only for people who takes there battery out 10 times a day which i dont

i mess with mine. a lot actually constantly pulling on the edge. still fits snug. i actually put my otterbox away and have this one. i really like it. i have the headphone covers but i use my phoen for music. but i find it kind of a hassle taking it off and holding on to it.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Best cases I've found (without battery button cutouts!)

I've been on the hunt for a decent case for this phone since I got it on its release date and it's been greuling. It's almost as if this phone doesn't exist, in the Americas anyway, a lot of cases I've come across are nameless and generic, worst of all, poorly designed with a big theme being the inclusion of the battery door button cutout.
Here's a few companies and cases I've found to be actually designing a case for this phone:
VRS Design, some simple designs that work, nothing too fancy but that's just what some of us want:
https://vrsdesign.com/collections/lg-v20
Noreve, these are some impressive wallet style cases and the quality seems unprecedented, great for a gift or for those of us who want a nice leather flip case, definitely not within most budgets with certain customization options but worth keeping in mind:
http://www.noreve.com/en/1303-v20
J&D Slim Case, a simple case from Amazon for cheap, does the job but features the aforementioned battery button cutout and a less precise design than the rest on this list, I found it to be the more acceptable of the budget cases I've come across because of its simple design, small form factor, and the 4 color options:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KNQ4SH6/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_ONQGybGDMFMHS
Seidio, skeptical at first but glad this is a case I bought, a random brand that popped up in my search a few times. They seem to have one of the few 2 layer cases that don't have a battery button cut out and that also doesn't add much heft to the phone, all with adding a kickstand as well. Another great thing I love about the case is that it's inner layer can function as a standalone super slim rubber case, the fit is perfect and there are no quality issues as far as the precision and design is concerned (will post pics eventually):

Incipio, a popular brand making decent cases for more than just Samsung and Apple phones? WHAT?! I was surprised to see the selection Incipio has for the V20 and they look very promising. Starting from $20 you can get a case that fits well, looks nice, is from a trustworthy brand and best of all, doesn't have a battery button cutout! I took a liking to the Dualpro, NGP, and Octane models, they seem to provide good protection without adding a ton of bulk and offer some options for color:

https://www.incipio.com/cases/smart.../lg-v20-cases/incipio-octane-lg-v20-case.html
I hope this helps some people out there hunting for cases, I was sure in need of this research and thought I'd share.

these are some cool cases. Thanks.

I have the High Pro Shield VRS (also had it on Note 7). Fit and feel is perfect,however.... The kickstand pivot seems to be positioned a hair too low. The phone tends to wanna fall over at the slightest bump. The Note 7 didn't suffer from this (same model case). Its like the center of gravity is a lil higher, still a great case and is not a deal breaker.

Oh hey, I've wanted Incipio to make cases for this phone. It's my lucky day. Now to convince myself 19.99 is worth it...

Have you actually tried them all? If not which one did you end up going with? I may go with the Incipio for $19.99. It's definitely worth it because I don't have phone protection. You think I'd learn my lesson after dropping a Nexus 6P and cracking the screen. Nope. I'll try to be careful.

It's a bit bulky and the cam is recessed (good).
However, when you insert the case, make sure the button (left) side inserted first.

Slickwrap and under a poetic atmosphere case....I see no other case/skin setup I rather have. Feels good and I love the way it looks (get compliments all the time on it). Not the best picture (looks better in person)

Spigen Rugged Armor black is very nice, thin, fits prefectly, improves grip and audio jack cutout is large enough to use Professional Headphoes such as DT990 or HD500 and such... and it also is very very light

Exactly the problem I have with the Obliq. Nice case but the Sennheiser hd650 cable struggles to make the fit.

By far my favorite case so far. I have 3 other cases and I haven't used any of them since I picked up the Spigen. Can't say enough good things about it.

2nded.
My big thing has been keeping screen recessed since my Evo 4g took a 2 ft fall getting out of a car & hit perfectly on a rock to shatter the screen.
I always used OtterBox defender after that. But phones kept getting larger. When I got Note 7, tried UAG and loved it when I switched to V20 got UAG again. Much less bulk, but feels just as safe. Phone has dropped multiple times with zero issues.

I bought this one in navy for 11$ on Ebay sale. Gorgeous looks with solid quality, great feel in hand (not slippery at all), not bulky and totally protected with Spigen tgsp! #stronglyrecommend https://www.incipio.com/cases/smartphone-cases/lg-smartphone-cases/lg-v20-cases/incipio-ngp-advanced-lg-v20-case.html

How good are the Ghostek cases? They look pretty cool.

But mostly i'll be going for the UAG case. Sucks that its not available here in India. Have to wait for someone to drop by from the USA

Currently rocking this one , the only case minimal enough with a good grip and a very classy back

i found the poetic revolution to be the best case . My phone has fell so much in the street and also i accidentally threw it to a wall. LOL everything looking good so far. I have had it since november. It has flaps for dust proofing and whole for every mic and the IR . It has a screen protector that if it gets scratched or you dont like it, well, you can always remove it and use your temper glass.

How well does it slide in and out of your pocket? My biggest beef is when a case is too "rubbery" and gets hung up.
Also how is the built in screen protector? I've been thru a ton of glass protectors now, none seem to suit me.

It slides very nice in and out of pocket. Lol
The built om screen protector is quite good. I didnt remove the one that came with the and yet it adhered very well to it. Up until now it has just one small scratch on it.
Over the time, the cover start getting some external sign of use that looks like sctatch but is more caused by all the time thr phone has felt on the street and other places. Lol nevertheless it still feels as if thr cover were brand new.
The only downside is that if you put it in a diagonal surface, it will slide easily. Unless you put it upside down

Picked up the Poetic Revolution case but removed the screen protector. In hindsight, that might not have been the best idea because of the double-sided take they use on the top and bottom of the front piece that holds the protector.
Let's just say I'm almost worried about removing the front now as I can see the adhesive trying to stick to the phone. ....... (Wait, Devhux! You mean to say you didn't think of that BEFORE putting on the front piece????? Hahahahaha!)

Been using Ringke Onyx, it is well made although a bit slippery. Good price as well.

I bought this as I needed one in a hurry. Works great though

Nice texture. Just enough grip
