Pure Gear Moto Atrix Shells

They offer several different ones, that look decent and aren't too expensive by any means. Just a heads up, for those of you who are looking for a new case. I'm probably going to order the fake leather one and the 'magnet gray' one as well.

I love how you linked the site while OP disguised his link
The leather one look cheap and tacky to me. These cases are nice but they don't seem to cover enough of the phone for me.

They look like the cheap (construction-wise) snap on cases. For $30, just get the Seidio Innocase. It's way better in my opinion.
Seidio Innocase II Surface - Black, Amazon

On Amazon I got it a week ago for $20, so maybe check a few times they drop the price every once in a while I think.

i got the same case that incipio made for $10 over at Fry's electronics

I didn't want this to be a comparison thread. I simply wanted to point out there are alternative cases out there on the market.

I'm really glad you pointed these out. I used to have a Barely There case on my old iPhone and these look pretty similar to that (I really liked it). I've been waiting for a case like this! Since Case Mate doesn't make any for the Atrix, I might get one of these. The colors aren't great, but I hate cases that snap together...

Thanks OP. Just ordered the magnet grey one. Will update when it arrives.

I'm ordering the grey one as soon as I get paid friday! I want overnight shipping, I don't care if I have to pay another 10 bucks to receive it, lol.

Yea.... they are quite nice looking. Not sure if i really wanna give up my TPU case though....
When either of you get yours.... mind posting some more pics? Would like to see what the inside of the case looks like, too.

Sure thing. I should have it tomorrow.

Just ordered the grey one, hopefully it arrives on Monday!

So can someone explain what exactly this case feels like? I don't REALLY get what a "rubberized satin finish" means... In the past I've used the case-mate barely there cases, which I like because they're not squishy or really rubbery and such. This pure gear case looks solid, but it says it's rubberized so I dunno.
And while I'm asking, what exactly is a TPU case (like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-Argyle-High-Gloss-Soft-Gel-Motorola/dp/B004L2L6JM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1304100403&sr=8-6)
Is it similar to the pure gear material?

Just got mine. First impression is this thing is nice! One of the thinnest cases/shells I've ever seen. Just went into our QA dept to use a caliper and it only measures .86mm or .034" thick. The texture feels almost exactly like my old G1 did. Doesn't feel like it's going to be a lint magnet either. The grey color is a bit lighter than I was expecting too but not too light. It fits OVER the existing battery cover and fits nice and snug. No give in any direction at all. Overall I like it it so far.
I'll post pictures tonight when I get home.

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is basically like a mix of a hard shell and a silicon cover. It's quite flexible, although not flimsy like a silicon cover.... and it's durable.... able to withstand quite a bit and still return to it's original shape. Actually recorded a video of me squeezing the crap out of one such TPU case that i got on eBay because of someone in another thread questioning the quality of the eBay cases.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=700ZNRtNEOA
As for "rubberized satin".... i believe it's basically a quite smooth yet soft feel.... not like a silicon, but not quite like a hard rubber case either. Hard to explain, really. If i had to guess, i'd say it might be similar to the Barely There case, but i'm not sure as i've never used either.

Here's some glamor shots of mine.

Hmm.... not too shabby looking. I may just order one.
edit: Just ordered the deep plum colored one. Only did ground shipping, as i didn't really feel like paying the same amount for shipping as i did for the case.... so it may be a little while.

Thanks for all the info guys! I always wondered what all these different types of plastic cases are. Thanks for the pics too, they inspire me to order one! Has anyone gotten the blue? How does it look in real life?

The Case fits just perfect.
The quality of the Case is awesome.

Looks good...but dont want something to cover the super sexiness of my GS2

look nice! where to buy? what kind of custom make do they support?

I bought some years ago a holster for my Dell Axim x51v and the quality is awesome.

other then the polymer inside, I don't find these cases to that exceptional..they look like standard leather working editions that I see every week or so when I talk about Knife sheats. But that might just be me, so what exactly is great about it?

No offence mate but that is horrible (and i couldn't be having yellow either)

I agree. I do hope the material is good, because it certainly looks handmade.
The design doesn't agree with me too, as a huge bezel around the phone screen tends to make me feel disturbed.
You may wish to consider looking at some korean leather cases, as I think they're good enough to give Piel Frama a masterclass in design.

for the price, imo its not worth it... its freaking expensive for a leather case.

Tudia Ultra Slim Melody Case

Has anyone got one? They look nice and get good reviews on Amazon but would be good if someone who has one could post some pics of the real thing. I have the Spigen ultra hybrid which looks great but adds a lot of bulk to the phone and doesn't feel so great. I also have a cheapo tpu case which actually feels great but the finish is a bit poor and its a little saggy.

Really works for me. Try this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FOAK9CK?ie=UTF8&force-full-site=1&ref_=aw_bottom_links

I don't have one, nor any experience with the maker, but they do look on the thicker side for TPU cases.

Now it's working... how so?
Yeah it seems like on the thicker side.

Got one of these today and really love it! Fantastic case.

"TPU" and "Ultra Slim" should never be uttered in the same sentence unless that sentence is "Nothing about TPU is ultra slim by any stretch of the imagination."
stahp.

Great case! Fits the phone perfectly without room for it to slide up and down inside the case. Buttons are not too hard to press but a little more difficult. All ports are accessible. The speaker grill cut out isn't perfectly put, but is just fine.

Still waiting for mine to be delivered, looks like it's coming from the UK from the US via snail mail.

how much is the shipping ?

£1.99
Got it the other day - nice case fist really well with no saggyness, I have ditched my spigen ultra hybrid for this as that whilst looking cool was too bulky.

This is a mediocre case at best. It's slim, but has the sticky feel of glossy TPU, which I hate. The design on the back may or may not appeal to you -- I found it repulsive. Overall, with this case, you get what you pay for. I personally think it ruins the aesthetics of the Nexus 5.

If the back is so repulsive why on earth did you buy it in the first place? It was quite evident in the pictures and listings that it was glossy tpu and the back was the way it is. Surely one of the main reasons people buy this case is because they like the design on the back. The case is cheap but alot better quality than other tpu cases ( of which I have bought 2) of a similar price and ruins the aesthetics no more than any other case, compared to other cases I have bought including the spigen it follows the contours of the phone well.

Do you honestly think I would have bought it if I had known that I didn't like the back design? It looked great in the photo, but not when I had it in my hands.

Noreve leather case in white

Took close to three weeks because I picked white, but I finally have it.
Wireless charging works fine with both TYLT and an el-cheapo one.
The cover does have a magnet, so the screen turns on/off automatically (nice!).
Both the earpiece hole and the notification hole work as you'd expect them to.
Makes the phone look bulky, but expensive.
Is it worth the $50 I paid?
Yes.
For me at least.

Did you click on the arrow? There are 8 or so photos for each.
I had owned a number of their products, and the quality is top notch. You can find plenty of reviews for other cases online.

Updated with short review

I always was envious of those phones that got wrapped in Vaja leather. Those cases always look so nice, as do these.
I'm personally not a fan of this style of case, but it looks well made and like you said, expensive. I bought three cases for my N5, none of which I use, so yeah, this one case is easily worth the $50 I've spent thus far

I have just ordered this one....not much expensive but looking quite elegant and classy one....

I do love the ivolution Vaja's. My ivolution for my Sony Clie NX70 is still going strong after all these years! lol I wanted to get one of these for my N4, but they absolutely failed in communicating on the delays of my order. I do want them, but for one, they have to promise to deliver when they say. I have spoken to another member who knows the owner of Noreve personally and sent my feedback to them. I have no opinion of the product, but I am curious now based on those nice pics. Handcrafted leather is just nothing like it IMO.

I'm sure you bought this reasonable expectations, but I have to say, once you go premium leather, you just can't go back.
As with everything else, premium quality is addicting. :laugh:

Man this looks nice. Wish they made one without the screen cover though. I could never stand having that big flap when using my phone.

Leather case

I have been wanting a leather case for a while. Any nice cases with a brown leather back?
Nomad doesn't have one coming yet. Bellroy does but leather looks kinda cheap. Anyone have any experience with them?

the only one is the Bellroy at the moment, with my old phone I bought a Pierre Cardin casa and they were great but I think they stop producing them. I think we just need to wait, in the meantime, I purchased the google official case, really high quality and I do not mind it for now

I had a Nomad case for my Pixel 3XL and Pixel 4XL and absolutly loved them. I reahed out to Nomad a few weeks ago and they said they have no plan to make anymore cases for the Pixel line.

Bellroy does make one in numerous colors. I have one of their cases on my 3XL now, they're very good and weather well:
https://bellroy.com/products/leather-pixel-case/leather_pixel5/black#slide-0
And... they are ALL out of stock.
Go figure. I mean the phone was released or is still shipping and ALL of their cases are out of stock already?
Someone needs to fire that guy.

I bought this leather case off aliexpress https://m.aliexpress.com/item/10050...babb145a9d29679b103W.jpg_640x640Q90.jpg_.webp
Brilliant for just £7 and it is genuine leather on a pc shell. The turquoise one which I bought matches the Sage green and looks damn good. The same one also comes in full coverage version but I normally go for the ones with openings at top, bottom, and phone buttons. The surface is also textured for better grip. So glad I went for this blind buy!
P. S. It's actually a more greenish turquoise, the picture shows more darker blue.

That, just looks like the most pimpish version of a case you could get. I mean, wow. Just wow (no, not wow in a good way). You just paid £7 too much.
