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
Black and other colors, Seidio Online
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?

Just ordered this case today - http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csk3mtatr-bl.htm
I will post back when i receive it and mess with it some, and possible post up some pics too. I know some of you have been wondering about these cases for the Atrix, and i've been wanting one anyway. So i just went ahead and ordered it, I'll give a review of it once i receive it for you guys/gals.
Wow that does look nice. Post some picture when you get it. I ordered the Motorola one but if I end up not liking it this may be another option. Its a bit expensive but I may consider it if I do not like the Motorola one.
OP do you have any docks??? Im very curious to see if this case will function in the cardock... looks sweet though. i like it better than just about everything ive seen this far.

No, i dont use any docks - at least not yet... maybe sometime in the future.. Just dont have a need for any at this point.
Wow, I just ordered the very same one yesterday! I had one of these for my Nexus S and I really liked it. It looks and feels really good on the phone and I think it is just as protective as the Otterbox Commuter case.
let me know if the silicone is very floppy i had the otterbox commuter but i hate the lose silicone i like my cases to fit and stay. i loved the switcheasy cases for iphone but the dbags only do apple products. if its not all loose and floppy ill get it otherwise im sticking with the defender
Hey.... product manufacturers tend to go where the money is.... and when everyone and their poodle has an Apple product... you can bet what their focus is going to be. Hell, i'd LOVE to see something like the Apex Armor or Vapor4 bumpers that they have for the iPhone 4 made for the Atrix.... but it won't happen. Same way seeing a battery door replacement to use with a PowerMat probably won't happen, although i'm still kinda hoping.
I got the Surface in Sapphire Blue, and if that's any indication to how good their cases are, the ACTIVE is much better. Although it adds twice the thickness to the phone as the Surface.
Just stumbled accross this over at Amazon/Play.
Imperial Hard Case Super Slim Black
Looks like a decent enough case, protects the back mainly, and looks very thin

http://www.italkonline.co.uk/imperial-hard-case-super-slim-black-samsung-i9100-galaxy-p-18107.html
STK Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 TPU Case / Black
Not sure about this one, resembles the Neo Hybrid in a way, just doesn't have sperate layers.
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/23551468/-/Product.html
Think im gunna take a gamble on the Italk one. Thin around the back, has holes in all the correct places. Looks like ir protects the phone when its turned over.
For £4.96 you can't go wrong really!
It's hard to tell from the photos whether it really does protect the front of the phone (when you place it face down). I'd be interested in what you find!
Yeah, i know what you mean. To be fair. I nver plce my phone screen way down anyway!
Came this morning, Looks promising.
Will upload pics etc in few hours
First impressions are its very nice and slim!
Cant hardly tell its there!
Pros
Slim
Feels nice
Doesn't look cheap
Gives sight screen potection (I mean slight, 1mm tops)
Cons
Doesn't give much protection to Camera
Buttons on side could irritate some people.
To be fair, i wanted a slim case, which this is. I dont intend to launch my phone around, i always place it down back first.
Ill try and add some pics of the phone in the case soon.
Shots of the phone in the case.
I apologise in advance, The worst digital camera i've ever seen used in my life!
Gives you a rough idea, if your sat here now thinking, should I, Shouldn't I buy one. Go ahead and do it! You won't be dissapointed for £4.95
Also available on eBay for about £3
Feels rather weird having this case on, been use to thickness and the lip over on the Neo Hybrid!
How's the grip with this case?
Yeah, its alright, feels nice in the hand.
Honestly its a really nice case for £4.95, or £3 on ebay.
You wont be dissapointed!
Do you have the link to the ebay one?

Probably.
Really is sllim, Like it says on the ebay link 0.3mm thick.

I generally like to have multiple cases for my phones. I have bought a couple of cases already without having the phone and would like to know which one you guys think is the best. These are the cases I have bought:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/37056726677...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_4251wt_1219

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0067I0A04/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
I havent heard many good things about the popcase that it may not provide enough protection. It looks cool though. I have the toughcase but its a dust magnet for starters and the silicone also gets in the way of my screen protector (zagg) at the corners. I have a diztronic tpu case and i like the fit of it better and its thin enough to not be too noticeable. So far i like it best but im still waiting for something better....like otterbox?
Yes, I can not wait for the otterbox. I also found a case for other phones called Sillicrylic (I think thats how you spell it) and that looks like an awesome case!
i think nude is better!
Hi, before I get my SGN i had a Desire HD with PoP case !
And I was very satisfied with it
Thank you, I just noticed that one of the ebay links is actually 7 cases, which is awesome so I can switch it out. I will let you guys know which one is best when I get them.

I have this one, and for £1.89 I think it is pretty fantastic. Looks and feels great!
Nay to all of the above
Why hide the Google design. If you look at the use of the phone, the corners are the most hit, so a bumper design is the best. the cases in this post like others I've found are thick and bulky for no real benefit.
iPhone is the best example of what we need.
"Can't paste the link as I'm too new but refer to Ebay "iPhone 4S bumper"
We need to push this design before making out pockets bulk up...
GNex Bumper case DIY
I made a simple DIY mod to turn a cheap case into a Bumper case.
Search instructibles.com for 'DIY Bumper Case for Galaxy Nexus' and it will come up.
I would like to keep my phone without a case but the fear of dropping or body wear would get under my skin.
I have a diztronic currently and I'm also ordering some cruzerlite cases.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium App
I have a case obsession as well and have many for the Gnex. My latest is the otterbox commuter, which I really love - though its noteworthy that many people do not like this case. A good one as well is the Trident Agesis - I am waiting for this one to be release at the end of Feb.

I'm looking for a bumper case to show off my skin as well, but I haven't had much luck in finding one. I'm going to keep looking around online, but if anyone knows where to get a bumper case like this, please share!
Settled on this one because no major manufacturers have put one out for the device yet.

Upstate: Received on Sunday from Amazon. I'm happy with this case. It does what I wanted, which was protect the front and rear glass areas from contacting surfaces when I put the device down. The raised rubberized black lines keep the phone up away from the clear cover. The holes in the clear cover for USB, mic, stereo jack (bottom), and whatever the tiny hole next to the camera is on the back all line up perfectly. I like the bumpers on the corners too. Hopefully I won't have reason to test them, but they look capable. :good:
Okay so now I'm pissed because my fave case manufacturer UAG came out with a new model for my phone just days after I settled on something less.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06X...G5PLS-O-BK&dpPl=1&dpID=51wzgi0Kk2L&ref=plSrch
Yeah not a bumper case but since I replied to this thread I figured it was the best place to whine about it.

I also picked up this case. It is quite good, nice and slim with solid side grips. Having a clear back allows my Skinnova skin to show through which is cool. It fits tightly around the phone and feels quite sturdy. I'd definitely recommend this if you're looking for something close to a bumper case. I think this might be as close as we're going to get for this device.
i didnt receive my g5+ yet but i found this and i think it looks awesome.

Will do! I just ordered it yesterday, the total came out to around $20 USD. It looks like they 3D print the cases individually, so it won't be shipping out until Aug 31st.
I just got the bumper case from Shapeways today. First impressions - it's just ok, nothing spectacular. It feels like a $5 -10 bumper case, not a $20 one. The fit is a bit loose and not as sung as I would like. The grip is really solid though, and I like the texture. Overall I would say this bumper case isn't worth the money. But if you REALLY want a slim case, I would say go for it. I'm not sure if we'll ever get a different bumper case for this phone, so this might be your only option (at least right now).
