That case is more slippery than atrix itself. Otherwise I liked it.
I voided my warranty.
Didn't know that was possible I got one coming anyway. Dropped my phone once already and got a few scratches on the battery cover. Needed something that wasn't bulky
That case is not best for protection. Its better for docks and desk duty. It bulks up phone a little, but the grip is lacking on it.
I voided my warranty.
Cool, thanks for tip! Black and Magenta in stock.
Tried to order black one to Canada but $17.95 shipping
nice but weak
Nice velvety feel to the case, slim and light. Mine broke near the volume rocker after about a month, just from taking it in and out of my pocket. Never dropped it.
Better off with the ruggedized battery cover IMHO

These cases are available for $10 Radio Shack (in-store). It also comes with a screen protector, which I haven't installed.
I'm not crazy about the fact that it leaves the top (near power button/fingerprint scanner) pretty exposed, but I'm coming to terms with it. Also, I'm not sure I agree it's more slippery than the naked phone. It feels less slippery, although, for me, I think it has to do with the ergonomics of the phone. It just felt like the naked phone could slip form my grasp fairly easily. With this case, less so.
5$ + tax at Office Depot for red or black ones

Just got one at radio shack for $10
I got mine a few days ago and my wife is telling me that she has trouble hearing me when the case is on. She says that it sounds like I'm holding the phone out. Is anyone else experiencing this? It doesn't cover the mic port so I can't explain why it's happening. I'm not using the screen protector either.
I bought a red one on Amazon because I like hard shell cases. It broke near the volume rocker within a day, no drops. I wouldn't trust it for protecting the phone in a fall, even from waist height.

My case broke by the speaker after a few months.. Incipio does have a good customer service (IMO) I sent an rma request.. and all they needed was proof of the crack (emailed picture), and an address to send a new one.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Same happened with me , broke from the speaker corner. I just sent an email to their customer support with a picture of the broken case and they sent me a brand new case for free... not even shipping.... these guys are awesome
So I ended up wanting a MT4G case and came across this site through a friend who bought a similar case from ambitronic.com.
Wondering whether to get the TPU Fusion Case? Look no further!
Shipping:
The product came relatively fast. When I got my final order, all they allowed was first class shipping, but it was only about $3. I ordered my product on Saturday, was notified that it shipped out on Sunday, and it came on Tuesday afternoon.
The website said that it was "delivered" on Monday when I checked, but when I went to check the UPS tracking number it just said sorted. So if you're wondering why the case hasn't come, check the UPS site and be patient, it's worth it!
Pricing/Value:
This is where the product shines. The case was only $3.40, and I bought a $0.95 screen protector with it. I also used a promotional code that docked off 10%. Unfortunately, shipping was $2.95 (still not that bad for first-class), so my total came out to be $6.87.
The Product(s):
I bought two things:
The Black TPU Fusion Case, and
a MT4G Screen Protector
The case itself is pretty good. All the holes are in the right places, and it fits really well. It does not add any noticeable bulk, and although it was somewhat difficult to get it on my MT4G in the beginning, it gets easier as time goes. The side grips are really nice (they're textured for easier grip), and I have 99% confidence that I won't break my phone as long as I have this case (the other 1% is if I keep it in the washing machine ). I had an issue with the power button being too hard to press at the outset, but as time went by, the issue got better and it's much easier to hit the power button.
Note: The TPU Fusion cases for this product only come in Black (+$0.45), Clear (+$0.45), and Red. I got the black one, and it looks really sleek on my black MT4G.
Now, the screen protector on the other hand was not useful at all. The product said that it would come with a soft card, but it did not. The thing also did not come with any instructions, so I ended up having to check how to install it on XDA. After cleaning the glass screen with the microfiber cloth and applying the screen protector, there were too many air bubbles, and I realized that the screen protector collected dust quite easily. I ended up having to trash it.
Overall:
4.75/5
Great product, great company.
-0.15 for the worthless screen protector
-0.10 for only 1 shipping option (shipping ended up being about 45% of the cost, but it was relatively cheap, so I can't complain too much).
Get it here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I shot them an email, and here's what I got:
Hi, thank you for your honest opinion on our product and service. Your support is really important to us. We have just issued you $0.8 credit (Rounded it up) via paypal.
Regarding the screen protector issue, it used to include a soft card inside the package but it seems our supplier did not include it in this shipment. We have removed the word "soft card" from our description to avoid being misleading.
If you did not get another screen protector for the Mytouch 4g yet, we would like to re-send you the screen protector for free. Hopefully, this time it can do its job. Please let us know and have a good night!
Sincerely,
Dale

Lol, made me buy one also. I also read the extended battery thread and that made me buy one before I read this. Now I don't know which to put on unless I cut the case to fit the battery.

Exactly. I may just cut the TPU case to fit the battery.
I did not like this case. I found it to added far too bulk to the phone.
However....I cut the top off of it and hot glued the case to the armrest in my car. (It looks clean I swear!) So now I have a great holder that my phone slides in and out of easily that keeps it nice and secure where I can see the screen to know who's calling before answering on the bluetooth.
It's a GREAT phoen case for this purpose. And I'm thrilled with my purchase.

I got a TPU Fusion case when I got my phone. I'm pretty pleased with it overall. The grips on the sides make the phone feel much more secure in my hand.
Thank you for your support. It is good to see people like this TPU Fusion design.
I bought a similar tpu, but the hole where u charge the phone was too little and cause of that i couldnt charge it well so i decided to throw it away

I guess the garbage can was closer than a knife.
So I recently bought the official book cover case from Amazon (it was listed as new). I feel a little underwhelmed by the case after getting it in the mail. Its a nice looking case but the build quality doesn't seem up to par. I'm afraid I might have been sold a counterfeit. The front piece is a soft rubber/plastic cover with the magnetic flap and seems to be easily scratched as it already has some scuffs on it straight out of the box. The corner parts on the front cover are slightly deformed. The front and back pieces seem to be sloppily glued together. I think mine is also missing the rubber feet behind the magnetic flap because it has a hard time standing up as an easel. I was wondering if anyone else that has this case could tell me how your case is. Mine did come in the official Samsung packaging but I'm not sure if it's 100% legit. The model number on the box shows EF-C980NBECSTD.
Sort of looks fake to me. My book cover doesn't have any of the flaws your pictures seem to highlight. Especially the crooked Samsung logo on the flap. Samsungs build quality could've gone down I suppose, tho it does look odd.

where is the hole for the powerbutton? Also the spot where theheadphones plug in is different from mine. Just checked my model number and it is EFC-1B1NBECCAN. Also my packaging has a holographic sticker that says samsung original. Then again this could be because its sold in canada.

Also looks fake to me. Mine is of much higher quality than that one appears to be. The cut is also slightly different. If you paid significantly less than $50, I guarantee it's a fake.
My package also had a Samsung hologram sticker.
I have a general recommendation for buying from Amazon, especially with electronics and accssories, which is to buy from Amazon (or fulfilled by Amazon) only. You are unlikely to get counterfeit product that way and also have a much easier time sending it back if you do.

I have a 8.9 Tab, but the box for my book case also had a Samsung hologram sticker.
Yeah Bro that's a counterfit galaxy tab case.
The cut out where the headphone port is, has this inch long to two inches long slit. That has to pieces of rubber touching each other to act as a little headphone cord holder mechanism. Also the Galaxy tab branding on the bottom corner doesn't look like it's the same font size or font as mine. That sucks bro I'd report the person or company you got it from, if you were to look at a real case side by side with yours you can see the difference.
I compared your photos with my case... Certainly this is a fake. I'm sorry.

I just bought one of these for $42 from an amazon vendor and it was "fulfilled by amazon". Not only was mine a fake, but I also got one that someone else had returned. The package was all scuffed up and the cellophane wrapping was half ripped off. The camera cut out was not properly aligned (there was plastic covering part of the hole) and the rubber feet were falling off.
I did not know about these phoney rip-off cases before I read this thread. But I called amazon and complained, and to their credit they refunded my money. So since it was essentially free, I got out my Drumel and fixed the camera opening, re-glued the feet, cleaned it up a bit, and made it usable. At least it does seem to fit okay, and while it's not as great as having the "real thing", now that I've doctored it, it'll do.
Be careful when buying from unknown venders, even when the order is fulfilled by amazon. This vender was "Go Shuki" of "Shuki International". Surprisingly, they have a 4.4 star rating out of 5, but they only have 283 total ratings. Still, no way to tell they were going to try to rip me off. (Well, maybe if I had looked at their store front, I might have noticed that what this company specializes in is selling fake perfume. That may have been a tip-off. ) I wonder how many others who trust Amazon.com have been victomized by these shady venders.
But Amazon treated me right, so I'm still a fan of theirs.

That's a shame, but it does look fake. I bought mine believe it or not at a local Toys 'R' Us today. I must admit the quality is amazing and I'm loving it. I bought it on sale for $49.99. I was going to buy one online but I'm glad I waited and didn't have to wait on shipping.

I ordered a black one before you posted this!
Seller shipped a few hours after I made the purchase, so I had tracking. It came in 3 days from NY to Ohio.
It may say refurbished, but mine looks brand new. It came in the OEM packaging and all.
Its a great buy for anyone that needs one. IMHO, Id rather pay $9 for a quality case that will last over a no-name brand for $4.
Volume buttons are easy to push with the case on, has a nice "clicky" feel. The power button is a little difficult to press as others have reported, but it's not as bad as some say. I got used to it

Considering how the official Google bumper quality is questionable and expensive at $35, I've been looking into knock offs. There were a couple on amazon that were around the same price, but they're unavailable for sale now for some reason. Shenit as a blue case that is a bumper clone, and a couple of members have said the power and volume buttons are more responsive than the official Google bumper.
I'm thinking I might buy this case and try it for myself as a test of quality. $17 isn't cheap, but it's better than $35.
I just bought one so I will post back with my findings. I went with the black. I agree, it was a little steep in price and I have about 6 cases already so I need it like I need a hole in the head, but come on... It says NEXUS on the back!
Yeah I have two on order as well. Who knows how long it will take but I'll try to remember to put some pics of the blue and gray ones
