Does the Otterbox Commuter series for the atrix have a screen protector like the defender? or should i get some stickers for that?
Yes it comes with one..
The Commuter does come with a screen protector. But if by "like the defender" you mean it is built into the case (adding increased protection from dust), then no. Its a separate screen protector, and I dont use the.
I bought a SkinTech before the InvisibleSHIELD was out, I recommend either.
yes, only the part of the screen is protected, the front camera and the buttons are not protected

Are the SkinTech and InvisibleSHIELD protectors something that I apply to the phone...AND THEN slip my phone case over? I've read that the InvisibleSHIELDs by Zagg don't fit very well on the Atrix, nor are they "invisible".

Correct, apply the screen protector before the commuter. Hours, maybe a day before. No need for "full body screen protector" zagg, front is good enough since the rest of the phone the Commuter will cover. You wont have any problems putting the Commuter over the Zagg on the Atrix. (the iPad is a dif story).
Im guessing what you read "doesnt fit well" is the full body protection zagg. The OB will even cover all the edges of the screen protector making it look seamless. Not only does the screen protector add, um, protection. But it IS invisible and also resists glare. Sorry for spelling.

U may wanna check on that again son cause I just got both a new Atrix n a commuter box and the screen protector does covers the buttons at the bottom,
Otterbox Commuter
I have been browsing around for a case for my new Atrix but most of the cases I have found don't seem like they do much in the way of actual protection if they are dropped. The Otterbox however does seem like it could protect from damage quite well, however I'm a little concerned with the size. If anyone could please let know how much weight and size is added to the phone that would be excellent. Or if you think there is a better case that can protect my phone, could you please link it for me?
Thanks in advance
I just purchased the Otterbox Commuter case and I have to say its probably your best bet if you want a good amount of protection as well as not too much bulk added to your phone. It's the perfect balance between the two imo.
You should just go to the store and try it out. Every store I went to they opened the box for me and let me test it out lol.
I'd have to agree, as far as protection goes, Otterbox can't be beat.
But which store did you go to that they had them in stock? I can only find them online and I've always wanted to try the commuter out. I use the Defender but it can be a little too much sometimes.

I've seen them at At&t&T stores, Best Buy, and Sam's Club.
Let me say that the Commuter is the best case i have ever owned. It makes the phone feel absolutely amazing in the hand and offers great protection without the bulk. I had the incipio feather before this and it just wasn't enough so i made the switch and couldn't be happier
Agreed! I've used the Defender, Impact, and Commuter cases for the Atrix, and I like the Commuter case the best.
The Defender case offers a lot of protection but is too big for my use.
The Impact is a silicon case that fits well but didn't really grip tight onto the device (so it tends to peal off more easily than most cases).
The Commuter case, on the other hand, is very slim compared to the other two cases. The combination of the silicone and hard plastic shell makes it comfortable to hold too.

Okay, it sounds like it's a really good case! I'll have to call my BB stores and see if they have any in stock to let me try on before I go and buy one. The ATT store only had Defender Cases, which looked pretty bulky and were $50 there.
Thanks for the responses
If you live in Canada then you can check out WirelessWave, PhoneBooth, even the Bell stores. All three allowed me to try out each variant (Impact, Commuter, Defender).
I first bought a seidio active combo case ( comes with case plus holster ) but then i was able to get the commuter for $19.95. It is a great case and another plus is that it fits into the holster from siedio with no issues.
can anyone confirm if the commuter case will work with the HD dock without the plate on the dock?
Not from I read....I had the Defender for a week and ended up getting the Seidio Surfacehttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TA9AG2/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B004TA9AGC&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1NY2FH8N4JQ374T8WGT8 with the holster. I also put the anti-glare screen protector on mainly because it resists fingerprints.
I am currently using the commuter case on my Atrix. The screen protector covers the bottom buttons but stops at the motorola words up top. The case itself fits perfectly(been 4 months and no noticeable difference). It is tight and snug and easy to put on. The screen protector is very nice and retains small amounts of finger prints.

Commuter case will not work with any dock because of the flaps. Cut the flaps off and maybe it'll work with the plate off

I know of amzer and a few others but just looking for everyones general preference to see If I have missed any.
And for the record I don't like the argyle look. Takes away from the looks of mah future phone.
I ordered the Innocase from Seidio. I had one for my Mogul that I really liked: http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4213.htm
It's harder than gel but has a soft finish that keeps it from slipping in your hand.
Ah , I see the seidio acces finally came online. Nice!
Too bad I'm not a real fan of their cases. : (
Although I do like the innocase's . Very nice but I hate not being able to try first. It says it doesn't add much in thickness but .....what a frickin pain this is.
Argh!

Its looks like these are kinda like the gel ones just made of plastic right? Pretty thin..I noticed you can get a clip for it also. Do you know without the clip there is nothing on the back of this case that adds bulk because of the missing belt clip is there?
thanks
Site says that it's 1mm think so that would be about as thin as you could hope for and still get some protection. The belt clip is actually a separate holster that the phone clips into. They have a set where you get the phone protector/case and the belt holster together. The holster is built to accommodate the slightly larger size when the EVO is in the case.
I´ve bought a frosted gel Hard Cover for my EVO 3D from HTC Addicted on Facebook .
It looks and feels great and is really resistant.
I got a discount because i like the Facebook page =)
I bought the cheaper of the two otterboxes. I have the more expensive, defender I believe its called, but it just made my phone too thick and it was hard to get out of my jeans. So I bought the one beneath it... can't remember name lol but I really really like it. Its half gel and half plastic providing enough protection while making it easy to remove from pocket. . I think its like 20$ on amazon

I highly recommend the trident kraken. It's thick and it may be hard to take out of your pockets if you're wearing jeans, but the protection is unmatched.
hai all,,
im in indonesia and its really hard to find softjacket or silicone for my evo,,can u advice to me where i can buy that stuff?
of course with the best price and free shipping if there from other country
thanx
I had a body glove case that was pretty nice, it was grippy enough to stay in my pocket when wanted and slick enough to come out when I grabbed it. It also had a nice warranty, like a year or so, and I used that a lot. The thing broke every month or so, but kept my EVO in tip top condition. Now I don't use a case though, I am close to my upgrade and trust the phone to hold up.
No case or screen protector here.. over 2 years and no issues..
just saying..

I believe youre talking about the commuter series I've had two of those and a body glove case the otterbox's broke within a week of having them the body glove even less. The defender series is great though definitely get that. I wouldn't normally use a screen protector but otterbox's is on a different level from cheaper ones it improves the touchability if thats a thing.

I'll take AOKP anything
Trying to decide on a case for an evo. Hopefully getting an evo with my upgrade January first and just trying to do my due diligence. Have an otterbox commuter for my hero and love it.
What case do you have?
Pros and cons?
Screen protector necessary? Never had one on my hero but I know the evo's screen is much bigger.
Thanks in advance for your replies!

Seidio rugged
I have the seidio rugged case for my evo. Its only about 40 bucks off ebay. I like it better then both the otterbox and ther ballistic. It looks better...has more protection and if for any reason you ever have to take it off its alot easier to remove then the other cases.

I have 2 Seidio Rugged cases and they both fell apart with mild use. The tabs on the end snapped off and the covers are peeling. The thin rubber also tore off with time.
I have 2 Trident Cyclops cases now, they feel like they are built much better. It seems slightly sleeker but I think it offers at least as much protection.
For heavy duty use, go Ballistic.

i agree with this.
go with trident or ballistic.
personally i love my trident cyclops.
With the Trident do you not have the rainbow issue on screen from screen protector?
Also heard that pictures from the camera have a blue tint with the Cyclops on.
Aosp froyo, It's the poop!
the ballistic has more protection than any case out right now. the design of the ballistic is delightful. it is EXTREME protection. it has a built in screen protector and an additional screen protector thats optional. you can drop the phone from the ceiling to your floor and it will save the phone.. i have a mint grey ballistic case im selling for $30 bux shipped in the classifieds. smoke it over and look at the photos to check it out.
without the silicon jacket the ballistic case is close in size to the otterbox defender. you can use the included holster with or without the silicon jacket if you dont need the full protection. all ports are covered with the silicon jacket on (rubber flaps over the jack and bottom ports) the camera, LED lamps and speaker on back are all protected. the
IMO the Ballistic case is a much superior product. second to that would be the otterbox....
Thats weird. I work construction and trust me ive pushed this case to the limit and its held up everytime. Ive had it since june and it still fits just as snug as day1. As far as the ballistic my co-worker had a ballistic on his htc incredible and his cracked while in his pocket simply by stepping up a latter. The preesure of his jeans pushing down was enough to crack it. I dropped my seidio down a elevator shaft and simply scuffed my belt holdster

yeah, sometimes i get a rainbow effect in certain areas, even with the premium protector. i don't really notice it when the screen is on though.
the blue tint is from the piece of plastic they put inside to cover the camera and led's. i just popped it out.
I think it really depends on what you're going to be doing with your phone, where you're going to be most of the time, and how likely you are to drop it.
To say that any one case is the "best" case for the evo (and any phone/thing you put a case on lol) would be wrong, imo.
Say you're looking for looks -- you'd go for something like a barely there from casemate
Say you're looking for full on rugged protection -- you'd go for something like the ballistic
For reference, I've heard not great things about build quality of the Defender from Otterbox, and Seidio cases. *anecdotal, so take it as you will*
As I said in another thread, I have the Impact series case from Otterbox.
Fits my needs, so it's the "best" case for me.

Unless I'm missing something, they don't make any Ballistic cases for the Incredible...
Ballistic does not make cases for the Incredible. The only HTC phone they have a case available for is the HTC EVO. www.goballisticcase.com
I'm currently using an Otterbox Defender for mine and its holding well. I'm interested in a Ballistic HC because since they introduced it the case looks like a step up from the Defender. I've seen videos and read the personal reviews of people who have had both and the HC is "better" according to most. It all depends on where your phone will be and what you'll be doing with it. I don't really care much about the size. I want a case that is going to protect my $500 investment.
If you want the best protection for your EVO I'd say Ballistic HC or Otterbox Defender. Each is $50 or you can check out the Trident Cyclops which is only $34.95.
if you dont mind the size, the Ballistic blows away the otterbox and the Trident for protection.....
I prefer the Fishbone case...I paid $12 bucks for it and so far it is great for me.

I had the tough case for my Samsung Vibrant and I loved it.
I like the platinum gun metal case I got when I got the phone.
It's lightweight and thin. There is felt on the back inside so it doesn't scuff up your phone. The corners of the front also help to keep my invisible shield in place in case it decided to wander around in the heat.
best case for me
I got a Seidio Innocase for X-mas to replace the one I got with the phone. That, plus an Invisishield is all the protection I need and it suits me. I wanted to try the Impact Series Otterbox, so I ordered one. They sent me a Defender Series and when I called them up they just sent me the right one, no questions asked. I have them both still, but don't use them. The Defender is, well, I just don't drive a tank or work in a war zone, so I don't really need it (and yes, the kick stand on that case is an absolute joke...). The Impact Series Otterbox just sticks in my pocket too much and I can't get it out as easily, but it looks adequate I suppose. The Innocase is great for me, doesn't stick in my pocket, has felt on the back so it doesn't scratch or scuff my device and isn't too bulky. That's why Santa got me another one.
P.S. I think the snap in the back slide-in broke b/c I was pulling it apart quite often to do battery pulls (cause not all ROMs are stable...) and didn't just leave it out of the case like I should have... Only time I've taken the new one off was tonight to put my new Seidio extended 1750 mAh Innocell battery Santa brought in before bedtime to charge over night (ok, maybe one other time...)
Not Swyped from anywhere cause my battery is being conditioned (duh!)
I have the Innocase active in blue.It came down to what I really wanted the case to do for me or rather my phone as well.
I wanted protection first and for most,then comfort in my hand and then looks.
It is a little bulky but that bulk is my protection from waste high drops.My 3 year old nephew has tested it out for me by throwing it on the hard wood floor standing on the kitchen chair...lol
It feels really good to the touch and unless your hands are on the smaller side,you will enjoy the fit.I wear a large glove so it fits me good.
It looks great.The fit and finish are very good.It will take getting use to.A little harder push to operate the power button but a fingernail tip makes it easier.
Now for the wearing it issue...It,while in the case on your side will be odd at first.I am a bigger guy,5`11 228 but my waste is 36.I notice it a lot more than say a smaller framed 150 pounder would but,it does stay put on my belt.I just rotate the top of the phone 90 degrees facing the front of my body and it rides that way with no issues at all.
Worth the money in my opinion.
I'm having a hard time deciding which case to get. I used to have a Seidio Innocase, but the rubber outside became too loose and stretchy for my liking.
Has anyone had both? What are your feelings on them? My main concerns are:
- sturdiness - will the case start falling apart/become loose like the Seidio one?
- size - i understand a little bulk comes with protection, but which one is the smaller case of the two? I want to be able to shove it in my pocket without too much work.
Anybody have a comparison on the two? I tried searching around, but couldn't find any comparisons of them.
I bought the Defender. Put it on my phone and took it off after 10 seconds. sold it on eBay. I've had the Otterbox Commuter which I loved, but yesterday I got the Trident Cyclops and it is awesome! The problem with the defender for me is the entire outside is silicone, i hate that. It doesnt seem like it would stay on the phone very well either. I'm considering purchasing the Ballistic as well just for fun, but the Trident Cyclops has very good protection. I can see it taking a very large drop no problem. I also just found out that they sell 10 different skins for the Cyclops, so you can dress it up all sorts of ways.
edit: post number 420 for me! woohooo
edit 2: oh dang, they also sell a holster for the Cyclops? man this case keeps getting better and better!
ballistic all the way
If you want maximum protection, then the Ballistic is the only way to go. Only thing is the Ballistic also adds the most bulk of any case out there. It's definitely NOT pocket friendly, especially with the outer silicone layer on it. Without the outer silicone layer, it's about the same as the other rugged cases.
When I first got my evo at radio shack the employee had the otterbox and I didn't like the feel or looks so I tried the ballisitic case and I have been happy with it.
I just got the Cyclops from Trident Got to say not complaints here
Trident Cyclops. I got the limited edition green (i doubt it's actually limited edition, but it matches my theme).
It's sturdy, it feels good, it adds a little more bulk than otterbox but less than defender and it protects well. Good stuff, plus they changed the packaging to where the PET protector the camera and LED lights are optional so no blue glow when you take pictures with flash.
100% I haven't taken it off since I got it except for battery pulls. I highly recommend it. Look up a review on youtube.
Holster
Can anyone tell me if the Ballistic HC will fit the Holster without the optional outer silicone cover. I ask because in the video on their web site they put it in the holster with the silicone cover on.
Otterbox shouldn't even be an option.
There are extremes only. Otterbox and Seidio are extremely bad in my experience. Ballistic and Trident are awesome.
to be honest the otterbox commuter series has been my favorite case i have ever had. it is pocket friendly because it has the hard plastic on the outside and silicone on the inside. I have had my otterbox for awhile and I love it. I have a lifted F-150 and have dropped my evo getting out of my truck several times. this is essentially dropping from about 5 and a half feet and my case has yet to be damaged let alone my phone. these drops have destroyed screens on other phones but it has been safe in my otterbox. the next biggest plus for me is that i never have any issues with getting the phone in and out of my pocket.

Kickstand breaks off
Ugly
Materials don't feel as good as they do with the Otterbox for iPhone
I think I remember on their facebook page...Otterbox admitted that they used a completely different factory for the Evo...but that doesn't explain the poor design...just explains the huge downgrade in feel...possibly different(cheaper)plastics.

I feel your pain....i am in the same delima. I think either the otter or ballistic. I have a friend who has the otterbox defender, i like it. The outer shell seems a little cheesy when you take it on and off, but actually feels ok once you get it on and get the front part of the silicone shell into the front groves of the hard case. Wish I had a friend with ballistic. The only issue I see right now with the ballistic is the size and the holster, I can't find pics of it in the holster without the outer silicone shell on. I can't see who now but someone (i gave thanks) did reply and say the ballistic would work in the holster without silicone shell.
The trident hasn't got my interest yet, I continue to read......................
Yes it does fit in the holster without the outer silicone layer (I have one) The Ballistic Case is AMAZING!
Best? Worst?
Pros and Cons?
Obivously it's a little early to have a ton of info on each (at least in the states) but I'm sure this thread will prove useful as more people at theirs.
I didnt make it out of the parking lot with the Otterbox. It's a great case and I feel like I could throw my phone off a building without any damage. However I didnt notice how much girth it added to the phone until I tried to put it in my pocket.. things a tank. Easily doubles the width, so keep that in mind if its important to you.
I have the casemate toughcase. Originally i liked it but now not so much. The silicone was a dust and pocket lint magnet and it started peeling up corners of my zagg screen protector. It just didnt fit right but i have the gsm gnex which is a tad thinner. I tested the otterbox in a vzw store tonight and i hated it. Everytime i touched the screen the protector made little tap like noises because it wasnt touching the screen. Again....i think its because the otterbox is made for the LTE nexus. I have the diztronic tpu case in matte black and also the smoke color and ive been happy with them so far. They also do not add any bulk. I have to wonder why anyone would want to get a thin and light phone only to add a bulky looking case?
I have the casemate tough case, I don't mind the dust trapping cuz it really doesn't do anything. I have the gsm version, the top and bottom part is a tinyyyy bit loose, but also doesn't bug me. The thickness is perfect and i think its as much protection as i need so... I hope that helps :0
I have case mate tough and pop case, and I highly recommend the pop case, the design, protection, feel, it sums up as the best case for me...I use otterbox for most of my devices, and the case mate pop case does not lack any of the protection compare to otterbox

Also, does the part that seals to the glass attack lint?

I've had the Pop for other phones. It's a nice case, my only complaint about that series is the side rubbers. They tend to wear off as time goes on and starts becoming loose.
Provides excellent protection though.
I don't have the phone yet (ordered online) but I bought the incipio case for it earlier today. Anyone else tried it on their LTE GNex? Thoughts? I didn't see a Otterbox case for it at the Verizon store.
I got the incipio case with mine when I picked it up earlier. So far, I like it, its real tight fitting and doesn't add a whole lot of thickness. Only downside is the silicone around the edges is a lint magnet while in the pocket

Sedio is a bit pricey... 2 years ago the car charger mount was at least $50 and the case was $20-$25. It was a very thin form fitting case that is plastic but has a almost rubbery feel to it. Very tough and it barley added any thickness to my Droid which was amazing. Guess that is why it was so pricey.
I got the shell holster charger combo when I ordered my GN yesterday... waiting for it to arrive... as patiently as I can!
I tried the Otterbox in the VZW store on my GNex -- certainly looked industrial and protective, but it made the phone huge. The Incipio seemed like a good compromise - the rubber inner part goes on easily, and the plastic snap-over layer keeps it nice and snug to the phone. The egde protrudes just enough so that you can place the phone glass down without the glass touching a table - perfect.
No screen protector yet - and I may not. It may not be Gorilla Glass, but it's been shown to be "fortified", and I won't put it in my pocket with keys or change... The Incipio seems like a good choice so far...
Anyone have a link for the black Case-Mate Pop case? I can only seem to find the white one.
EDIT: Nevermind, I'm an idiot

The Defender (The more expensive, bigger one) or the Commuter?
So I've already ordered the Case Mate Tough, because I didn't know there was a Pop for the Nexus yet.
They don't show it listed on the actual Case Mate site Nexus page.
What are the differences between the Tough and the Pop?

I got the incipio case with mine when I picked it up earlier. So far, I like it, its real tight fitting and doesn't add a whole lot of thickness. Only downside is the silicone around the edges is a lint magnet while in the pocket

I have the Otterbox Commuter for my Razr and it looks like the silicone shares the same properties of picking up everything in my pocket. lol
I really like the Case-Mate Tough Case which I had with my HTC Sensation and it didn't pick up as much lint as the Otterbox commute or now possibly the Incipio.
I can't wait for my phone to arrive so I can finally try for myself.
Thanks!

If you google Seidio, Case-mate, and Otterbox... you will find lots and lots of people complaining about their Seidio cases. I have owned a few and will not buy from them again.

I didnt make it out of the parking lot with the Otterbox. It's a great case and I feel like I could throw my phone off a building without any damage. However I didnt notice how much girth it added to the phone until I tried to put it in my pocket.. things a tank. Easily doubles the width, so keep that in mind if its important to you.

Commuter or Defender?
the question is which of these fit the GSM Version well.
Diztronic only $10 from eBay. Perfect fit and no bulkiness added.
I have the GSM version as well

So I was curious what evryone thinks is the best case I was going to order the trident agies case since its so hard to find a case and also the otterbox so any idea?
HTC Thunderbolt
I have about 12-15 cases for my TB...I have tried them all pretty much...I love the TPU cases...they are super cheap and are easy to take off and put on which is nice since I use a car dock a lot...if you aren't going to take your case off much the Otterbox is great, but it is pretty big...the Seidio Convert Combo is another good one, although I am not a huge fan of the slide on case as I think it tends to scratch phones. I am not a big fan of the Trident cases...I have one and I think they fit a little on the sloppy side, and they are a PITA to put on and take off
I bought a platinum series case that Best Buy released for the Thunderbolt, and I LOVE this thing! I've dropped my phone a few times, but never hurt anything.
I've also tried otterbox, but I must say that I enjoy this case more.
It's, in all, 3 protection layers... plus a clip that locks and unlocks.
Well worth the money to me.

Great case, however it does look old very quickly as the hard plastic gets scratched very easily and after a while the rubber material inside the case starts to become worn down and begins to sort of "shave off"...I have both the black and white Pop case. White begins to yellow fairly quickly too. Great cases, but I think there are better.
The Seidio case is great, its definitely one of my favorites...unfortunately I can't use it as I have ghost armor on my phone which adds the slightest amount of thickness to it so I an unable to slide the case on without ripping the ghost armor off...not an issue for most.
I like to keep my phones in brand new shape..from the day I buy them to the day I get rid of them (helps resale value!) and I will say the best way to protect your phone and keep it looking cool is to do Ghost Armor (carbon fiber wrap, matte wrap, or normal..they have many different styles) - they also have the best screen protector HANDS DOWN, and then top it off with a clear TPU case like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Rubber-Thunde...r=8-1&keywords=Clear+TPU+case+htc+thunderbolt
This way you can see the awesome carbon fiber wrap, and add the shock protection and prevent screen cracks, etc that the ghost armor can't do (since the ghost armor simply prevents scratches and scrapes, DOES NOT save your phone from drops etc..)
I hope this really helps you out, I have spent a lot of time in this area haha...you could say I am the phone case expert

This. And I too have bought and tried a slew of them.
Currently I own the otterbox, body glove, and shell/holster. If I had to pick one it would be the shell/holster just because you get some decent protection and a way to carry it on your belt. Also if you don't want to use a screen protector it is good because while in the holster it protects your screen.
The otterbox is a great case but keep in mind just like everyone else said the screen protector is a pain. It isn't designed quite like other otterboxes in that the top is uncovered so the screen protector will never fit fully flush with the screen.
Edit: regarding the screen protectors, they are all the same. I have tried them all from the top end to the cheapest. I found that the $1 3 pack work just as well as any (Steinheil, Zagg) so no sense in spending $20 when $1 does the same.
I love my Seidio Inocase Slider, I've got it paired with a Zagg Invisible Shield (Which I kind of hate, but if does do a fantastic job protecting the screen).

Otterbox Case- just take off the built in screen protector...its crap...I may make a case guide sometime haha - since I have so much experience with cases and I find that people are always asking about cases
Check out the case guide I made last night, should help you out a lot in deciding which case fits your needs
My personal favorite so far is the black rubber tpu case
