Atrix TPU Case Received, pics inside

Hey everyone, I received my TPU case from EBay (item 290530353216) today, here are some comments and pics. The fit is only OK - the cutout for the USB/HDMI ports is a little off, and there is a little bit of an edge around the power button that impedes fingerprint swipability a little. I will say too that I didn't expect it to have the goofy pattern - what is it with TPU cases and argyle patterns?? Also, as you've noticed it is somewhat translucent.
I give it a 3/5. $7 shipped in the US. I'll keep it until another inexpensive case rolls around that is higher quality.
And just in case anyone wonders, on my screen are the Pandora Widget, Android Agenda Widget, and some apps. I am running ADW Launcher (free). Also, I know I left my back panel sticker on there, and that was on purpose.

Yeah seriously with the frikin argyle ****! Its like they made a billion sheets of the argyle TPU and they just like heat mold them to phones (not like thats how they're made). This will be my third phone encased in argyle TPU. Other two were the dark one like yours, this time I got sick of trying to hide the argyle and people asking about the stupid pattern. I got clear so, "yes its frikin argyle! got a problem!?"
Waiting for the Realook screen protectors to be cut. no idea why it takes them so long to cut the right size. Realooks are by far the best screens...

Everything is temporary at this point...I'll buy nicer stuff once my 30 days are up.
I was fortunate enough to have a solid black non-patterned TPU case for my EVO that someone on this forum actually commissioned and was selling out of their garage essentially.

Check out tpu-cases.com. I bought an all black one there, shipped same day. Quality is nice, it's glossy, feels good in the hand for an 8$ case.

the 1.99 one I got from ebay is decent

Nice, never seen that site before. I'll order one up and hopefully it'll get here by the time I'm home from travel. Wish someone would make one like I had for my Evo though - it was matte on the back and shiny on the front.

Well I tried the Speck (or whatever it's called) case from AT&T and hated it...looked and felt like a toy.
Then I tried the Otterbox Impact (the smallest case they make). It's made of a type of rubber that sucks up all dust and won't let it go. It's pure black rubber but after putting it in my pocket and driving up to Starbucks to meet some friends...it looked gray. My pockets don't have any lint or anything in them...and yet the case now looks completely gray. I just put it on yesterday. It's also a bit big for my tastes...and the phone can easily come out of the bottom.
I'm going to try the cheapest cases on eBay. They always worked great for my Nexus 1 and most other phones I've used. The cheap thin rubber is fantastic for me. The phone's so freaking sexy...I just don't want to add a bunch of mass to it.

i like the feather as well. not much in terms of impact protection, but most of my scratches come from the phone vibrating on the desk over time and scuffing the battery door, so its a nice line of defense against that. also, its a little less slippery than the standard battery door which i like

Yeah its great for worrying less about the normal wear and tear.

I particular like the argyle tpu cases which give decent protection and feel. i have it for the ipad, galaxy tab, atrix, inspire, and xoom.

www.degasis.net offers these as well

I ordered my case from http://www.degasis.net/models/atrix.html (as the poster above recommended. $6.98 shipped
This is the best fitting TPU case I've had across all my devices. The best part is that it actually makes the on/off button easier to push and the finger scanner easier to operate (its cut at the perfect angle to compliment it). Its slightly different cut but a better fit than the pictures posted above.
I'll post pictures when I come across another camera some time today or tomorrow.
TPU is far superior to any other case material in my book. perfect balance of grip/non-stick, thinness, protection, and fit.

That's the problem I have with the feather - it doesn't protect either end of the device, only the sides and back.

Judging by the picture, it looks like you have that "textured" screen protector. What is the screen protector you are using? Those are my favorite kinds and I have been trying to find one for a while! thanks in advance

Kbc, who are you asking? I'm using an AT&T screen protector. It's matte and perfectly smooth.

Speck Case for Atrix 4G?

Why no one is talking about the Speck Candyshell for Atrix 4G?
I think it's really good ,but attract scratch on the back.

I have the speck and the incipio feather. The speck adds too much bulk to the phone but the case looks nice and protects the phone appropriate. The incipio feather is really nice but it cracks easily even without dropping the phone just by taking it off the phone several times....

I have the spek case and while it does add bulk, it adds extremely good protection.

I have the Speck case and am more than impressed with it. Although it does add a little size to the stock phone, the protection is more than worth it. Side by side with the otter box and this thing looks as thin as a poker chip. Also the back of the case does get scratched up but who cares, that's what cases are for! This case meets every one of my needs so to me there's no better case on the market right now.

I have the spec case amazing i also had a speck case on the iphone the case holds up and really protects the phone i recommend it highly

ive been using the case since i got the phone and really like how theres a hard shell and the rubber lining around the screen. also makes the phone feel really solid. it does scratch really easily but i put some carbon fiber tape on it to cover it up and add some grip. its still a bit slippery for me so i just ordered a tpu case from ebay to see how it feels.
heres a pic of the speck

I have this same issue with the Speck case, and its really frustrating. The way I do it is to turn it over, push the center of the case with both my thumbs (as if you're holding a sandwich/burger). Keep pressing it and flexing the sides until the back cover pops off partially (usually from the top of the phone), and then separate the phone from the case by slowly pulling on it from top to bottom.

Sigh.....

call me a fruit, but it pisses me off that Speck is only making making one color of the case

just purchased the Speck case today from AT&T
It fits perfectly, in my opinion it DOES NOT add very much bulk to the phone AT ALL. But I did just come off of the OtterBox Defender that is a big freakin case
Overall, the Speck to me, seems like a phenomenal case, fits well, doesn't add any weight or size to the phone that is unnecessary, and the all black gloss looks sleek

I compared the spec against the otterbox commuter the other day at AT&T store and went with the commuter for the same price. About the same bulk. Both the store employee and I struggled to remove the spec, which at least means it's secure, and it dang near broke my battery cover since it popped off and got stuck in the spec. If the spec were a lot cheaper or you didn't want to pop it off often it seems great but the 2 piece design of the commuter is pretty ideal.

i absolutely love my speck case. i take my phone out by just using one hand to kinda pull the lip away from the phone screen, and the other hand to push in the fingerprint scanner.
i wish it looked cooler, but for the protection it adds with not a lot of bulk (IMO at least, it's not that bad at all, i compared it to my friend's otterbox'd iphone and i much prefer my speck)

it is a pain in the arse to remove.. i push the phone out by the power button/fingerprint scanner, while simultaneously pulling back on the lip of the case.
it keeps your phone protected thats for damn sure --but I use the Incipie feather as my everyday ---- the sleekness of it is way better

Doesn't really protect you phone well I dropped mine on the concrete from 4 feet and the phone fell out the case useless case

the only thing i dont like about this case is the scratches that it gets on it. best way for me to get it off is left thumb in the camera hole right thumb in the bottom of the finger print scanner and fingers on the rubber edges on the front.

I think the case is good, better then decent drop protection but the scratches make me sad haha, honestly it was worth getting but I will be searching for a new one simply because I am picky and like different cases for different situations.

Review of Cruzerlite N2 TPU cases w/pics!!!

This is a review of Cruzerlite TPU cases designed for N2: http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/samsung/galaxy-note-ii?limit=30
Cruzerlite is probably one of those case companies that doesn't need much introduction. Although being around for a few years, they already established themselves with a series of unique TPU cases and a fanbase of loyal customers. For me this was the first time I got a chance to test these cases. One might say what so special about another TPU case? When it comes to Cruzerlite it's their Personality. These cases have unique design, often centered around Andy the Android character. But looks will only take you so far without actual quality behind it. So here is how it stacks up.
First case I looked at is called Andy Circuit Persona. It has a very unique printed design of Android character surrounded by electronic circuit traces. The print itself looks very durable and embedded into the case coating which feels scratch resistant, something you can count on staying bold and visible for a long time throughout wear and tear. The case itself, surprisingly, made out of a very durable thick TPU material which actually feels like it will be able to absorb a noticeable shock if dropped. Sides of the case snugly wrap around the phone and provide a nice lip to keep your display off the surface if placed screen down. Outside the case has a very smooth texture with a nice grip that feels secure in your hand. All the cutouts are precise and perfectly aligned. Also, power/volume buttons are exposed through a cutout and easily accessible. Typically I would not recommend TPU case as something that can give you a piece of mind if you drop the phone, but this one is an exception and I feel like it will give you a little more confidence if dropped.
The second case is from their Androidified Case series which is a specific Bugdroid Circuit model. This one features Andy the Android in the middle surrounded by etched out traces of electric circuit. This is a very unique design because you can actually feel etched out traces both outside and inside of this TPU case. The case itself is semi-transparent and feels great in your hand with an extra grip due to the etched out lines. Just like Andy Circuit Persona, it wraps around the phone, providing an acceptable lip to protect the screen from touching the surface when placed display down, and has all the precisely aligned port openings. Power and Volume buttons have cutouts for easy access. I would say Andy Circuit Persona will offer a better shock protection, but this one is still not bad and should provide you with a decent grip to avoid dropping your phone and some protection in case if you drop it. Also, both cases are smooth enough to get in and out of the pocket easily without pulling on any material.
Overall these are very nice looking TPU cases for everyday basic use. Of course what makes them stand out is the original design with its friendly Andy the Android in the middle. Also, cases have a very reasonable price without sacrificing the quality. For those who like to change their N2 cases on a regular basis and looking for a unique design, Cruzerlite line of TPU cases is definitely something to consider.
Now, here are the pictures for your enjoyment:

OK, so this was totally unexpected. Cruzerlite is well known for their cool TPU cases with Persona of Andy "the android" character. But do you guys know they have a line of plushies, the collectible Andy plushy toys?!? http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...rlite+plushies&sprefix=cruzerlite+plu,aps,168
I just got one for review, and this thing is super cute. At first I thought to give it to my kids, but then I realized I want to keep it for myself. This one is Persona of Andy with a clear belly to put your Jelly Beans (get it?) in there http://www.amazon.com/Cruzelite-Personas-Andy-Jelly-Collectible/dp/B008GQ1OCI/
Here are some pictures of this cool Cruzerlite collectible toy:

Those cases look pretty cool. Green one would be my choice. Wow didnt know they made plush Andy character. I must order some now. Thanks for the awesome review as always.

Are these cases smooth? Do they grab at your pocket when you take them out?
And are they super thin on the sides? The only time I can actually reach each side of the screen with my thumb is if I have my phone in the surface or naked.

Very nice slim tpu case.... but I couldn't use mine (Androdified) becaise it lifts the corners of my screen protector. So if you have a flush to the edge type of screen protector and you are not willing to cut or change it go with body glove tpu. Alnost the same thin design but the corner has more room to fit with sp. Of course its a boring solid color

They are smooth, not sticky, and relatively thin on the side.

Thanks for the review and pictures!! I've got 3 of their Androidified TPU Cases for my Evo LTEs. The smoke color looks really nice, the red color looks awesome (looks good on my black one, but really stellar on my white one!), and the clear was great for about 1 month. Around that 1 month mark though, the clear started yellowing and will NOT come clean no matter how I try to clean it!! It's so bad I won't even use it on either my black or white Evo LTE! I think I'm gonna go ahead an try one of their TPU cases for my Note 2. I always buy WAY too many cases for every phone I get, and always say I'm not going to for my next phone but always do, lol. Anyways, thanks again for the review and pictures!!

I have this case on my Note 2 (a red version) and I have some observations:
The cutouts are large -- meaning I can use my Samsung MHL-HDMI adapter without taking the case off. This is the only case so far I have tried that can do this. (Also used a Diztronic and stock Samsung case.)
The cutout on the headphone jack is a good size too and most cables plug in without issue.
The lip around the screen is quite large ..... this is good and bad. Good in that is will offer a lot of protection for face down drops.It is stiff and won't push off the screen easily. It also goes above the glass over 1mm I would say. (I had the Samsung case on my phone and it fell screen down, smashing the screen. The Samsung case has a very thin lip around the screen.) The bad is that it makes it slightly hard to swipe in from the left of right ... or get your finger to the far edge of the screen while cropping pictures.
You can feel the seams in the TPU from the manufacturing process...... it goes around the outside edge of the phone. The Diztronic TPU case is much better in this respect.... but the Diztronic offers less front glass protection .. and the cutouts aren't as big so you have to take the case off to use the MHL-HDMI adapter.

Just buy it. You will get the great case and support for the xda team.

Review of UAG Navigator/Scout for S4 with lots of pics!!!

This is a review of UAG case for S4: http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/collections/samsung-galaxy-s4/
I hope other vendors received the memo: UAG finally shipping their S4 cases. Competition is over. Go home! Yes, it's true, just received my Navigator (white) and Scout (black) S4 cases, while Aero (blue) and Outland (rustic) colors are also available. For the last 6 months using it on my Note 2, this has been my go-to case whenever I'm using stock battery. I do have a lot of great cases in my collection, but this case has always been at the top of the food chain for me when it comes to overall protection, durability, and functionality while still being slim and sexy with it's unique industrial design. It also withstand test of time still looking like brand new after a lot of abuse, and that's considering my Note 2 UAG case is white Navigator.
With S4 case, UAG went back to their original design from S3 rather than new "vent" design introduced with larger cases of Note 2 and iPad Mini. This makes perfect sense since we are talking about a smaller footprint phone in comparison to other phablet and tablet. The design is still high quality feather-lite composite construction made out of single piece thermo-plastic material used for inner lining and edge protection and also polycarbonate shell for a tough exterior protection. The combination of honeycomb pattern partial inner lining of the back and unique raised shaped of pc shell in the middle works as a perfect shock absorption if you drop the phone. The edge protection with a thicker bumper around top/bottom of the phone wraps the screen with a nice lip around the front of the phone keeping it save off the surface if you place it screen down or if you drop it by accident. The phone will not slide on any surface, either if you place it face up or down. As I mentioned, front bumper will protect it from sliding face down, while the top/bottom bumper has small standoff skid pads on the back to keep the friction when you place the phone face up. The back of the phone is complimented with industrial design grooves accompanied by fake rubbery torx screw accents. The case itself has a very secure and comfortable grip, and still very easy to slide in/out of the pocket or purse.
Every cutout is precise and generous. You can especially see it in micro-usb and headphone port openings that will accommodate any reasonably over sized connector. Camera and flash openings are partitioned to make sure you photos come out glare free. Special attention was given to power and volume buttons that cover original phone buttons. Those look and feel very hardware like and because of small slit on a side, they are easy to press and very responsive. In addition to the case, you also get a bonus screen protector and microfiber cleaning cloth. I can't comment on the quality of screen protector since I didn't install it (I have a display model of S4), but in my hand it felt thicker than cheap ebay screen protectors.
Dimensions of UAG S4 case per my measurements:
Weight: 1.1oz -> 30g
Length: 5.5in -> 138.7mm
Width: 2.9in -> 72.8mm
Thickness: 0.48in -> 12.3mm
Overall, I would consider this one of the top contenders if you are looking for a slim and lightweight case with a really good drop protection, convincing lip bumper, and unique eye catching design. Now, let the pictures do the rest of the talking:

NO pull (just a bit around volume button and usb/speaker ports because its thinner rubber), NO stretch, NO stickiness. This is not silicone rubber typical for Seidio and other cases. This is more in line with smooth TPU material. This S4 case is identical to S3 case. You don't have to take my word for it, go to Amazon and see 4.75 star rating (for S3) out of 1,831 reviews. This is simply the top case!

How thick is the phone with case? in mm or inches.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Telling this from a personal experience, it's 100% guarantee people will ask you about and will compliment you on your UAG case.
Btw, dimensions of UAG S4 case per my measurements:
Weight: 1.1oz -> 30g
Length: 5.5in -> 138.7mm
Width: 2.9in -> 72.8mm
Thickness: 0.48in -> 12.3mm
Regarding dropping face down. Any case dropped face down on uneven surface will have a problem if screen will come in contact. I have tempered glass on my N2 and will never go without it on any of my phones. That is the best way to absorb the shock if your screen comes in direct contact with outside object. Dropping your phone on a concrete or tiles or hardwood floor face down with UAG will protect the screen because you have a bumper lip to keep it away from direct contact. I took close up in my pictures to show it, and you can compare it with other phones I have reviewed (check the link in my signature).

a buddy of mine introduced this case to me a few weeks back on his (iphone) it looked soooo sexy i am definitely getting this for my s4
thanks for the review and pics :good:

I have this case for the iPhone 5 and its AWESOME!! Im pretty sure will go with this when I get my GS4. OP Thanks for thread/review and pictures are pure sex!!

How is the grip on this? Ive always used tpu cases so I worry that it will be too slick for me with the hard outter case

Between matte finish outer hard plastic PC (non-slippery textured design) and smooth TPU sides (those will NOT stick to your pockets!!!) - its a perfect grip. It's easy in and out of the pocket, don't grab your inner pocket, and yet still gives you a decent hand grip. I'm not saying this is the ONLY case to get, there are a lot of other great cases as well. But this one is definitely at the top of the selection.

Really ??? Crap...I ordered some Chinese copy since I thought uag cases Wouldn't be out until next month. ...I'm so afraid of my phone breaking.
Well. .. next month I'll order one. ..

That's how it is with any new phone, you get a cheap case from ebay to hold you over while you take your time to research and to pick a better quality case. And when you will finally pick that perfect case, you will decide to get an extended double or triple capacity battery and have to use an ugly case with it or mod another another ugly case to fit it lol!!!

Oh yeah...I actually had an uag for my gs3.... simply the best case I ever had.
The peace of mind it gave is priceless. ..
so I can not think in another car but uag.

Here is the outland also known as the orange case.

Diztronic Matte Black TPU case Review and Picture

So I just got he Diztronic Case for my new Nexus 5 today and here's my thoughts on it. I've been a Diztronic case user for sometime now; had it on previous devices such as my S3. One thing I love about Diztronic is that they are more substance than flash when it comes to their cases.
Packaging:
One thing you will notice when you get the packaging is that, well there isn't much to say as its in a plastic wrap, with a cardboard cutout placeholder for your phone. They spent the money were it needs to go; on the case itself.

Build Quality/Design
As expected from Diztronic, the case is a built top notch using a soft but firm flexible TPU material. It has a two tone appearance where the edge/frame is a shiny glossy black (along with the Diztronic logo on the back) where the rest of the case is a soft grippy matte black on the back and sides. A thing to point out is the nice feel the matte finish has. It almost feels like the Nexus 5 back without a case. It just feels good. One thing I like is that Diztronic did not plaster their name all over the case like some case manufacturers do. Just one simply logo at the back near the bottom.
The cutouts are all in the perfect location and aligned right. The cutouts for all ports/mics/speakers are spot on. One thing I would like to point out is the cutout for the headphone jack. It's bigger than other cases I've seen and I like that. It allows for headphone plugs off varying sizes to be used with our phone. Many times a plug will be too big to be used with certain cases and the phone would have to removed from the case to use said plug. The cutout is a large nice square cutout. So thumbs up to Diztronic for that. Also, the microusb port cutout is large also, allowing for oem and aftermarket micro usb plugs to be used. Which is really like as I have plugs and charges of all sorts of sizes around the house, bag and car.
One thing that did differ from the S3 Diztronic case is that there is no cutouts for the buttons; volume and power. I'm sure a lot of us went the super cheap route before and got a tpu case off of ebay with no cutouts and it was just plain misery trying to press the buttons. That was one of the big pluses for me on the S3 case and was doubtful and wary about no cutouts on the Nexus 5 case. Yet, Diztronic has pulled through and made pressing the buttons easy and nice even without the cutouts. The fake buttons on the case to mimic the buttons on the phone are very nicely designed and implemented. They actually look and feel like real buttons and not just some bump on the case like the cheaper tpu cases.
Another thing I liked is that the edges are raised to protect the phone if you place it face down on the table. So no scratching the screen when doing so.
Also, unlike the slim cases from Spigen and Ringke (other cases I considered) is that it has decent protection all the way around the phone. The slim cases protect the sides but not so much the top and bottom. Sure its a little bulkier and thicker but my mind is a little more at ease with the added protection.

Got the same case on my N5 as well. Had one on my EVO 4G LTE as well. Decent case all around. Nice review.

Thanks I appreciate it!
Yeah one of the better cases I've used on any device. Great customer support too, anytime I had an issue they always were quick and courteous.

Thanks for the review. My phone slipped out of my hand today and I was able to catch it with my foot before it fell the rest of the approx. 6 inches to a tile floor. The back cover popped open a little bit, but it was otherwise unscathed. I took that as my first and only warning from the phone Gods to put a case on it so I just bought one of these based on your review.

yeah I always recommend a case. I don't like otter boxes or tank sized cases but I do like a medium between super slim and otterbox. I'm sure you'll like the case!

How much of the screen does the edge/lip of the case cover? Any use this with a screen protector?

Covers very little of the screen. I am using with with the spigen ultra crystal with no problems. I think it's a much more functional case than the official bumper.

Yeah, if you can't tell my phone has a screen protector on it. I'm using the xtremeguard protector on it

Does anyone have any pictures of this case (either black or clear, both would be nice though) on a white Nexus 5? Looking to purchase this case just not sure in which color

The skinomi screen protector I got has 1mm margin to the edge of the screen so any case lip that covers more than 1mm will start to push on the protector.
Would you say the it covers 1mm or less of the screen?

Yes, I think that's accurate

Does this case feels like the soft black of the phone? How is it with fingerprints?

I'm curious as well about the case pushing against the screen protector. I would like to know if the case causes the screen protector to lift away from the screen. This is a problem I have with the spigen.
Thanks

Amazon has the black with prime shipping, I'll make sure to post my thoughts

Looks like you lucked out and got the second revision, seems like a lottery at Amazon right now but good to see they started shipping them. Nice big photos and thanks for taking the time. I personally decided to pass on Diz this time due to the QC issues and covered up buttons.
FYI there's a thread a few pages long dedicated to the progression of this case including other pics and reviews: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2490294 :good:

After using a spigen neo hybrid for a few days I've gone back to the diztronic, fits like a glove. And almost feels like there's no case.

Is it hard to take off? I've read that some people actually damaged the exterior back and edges by taking off their cases...

No its not hard to take off... I don't go side to side... I go from bottom to top. So insert the bottom of the phone first then the top. Yeah i was worried about the revisions but Diztronic emailed me that all new cases should be the revised version

Sucks that from Italy apparently there is no way to get my hands on one since no euro amazon sells it and they directly also dont mail it to Italy or other european countries....
