My wife has the Case-mate tough case for her Inspire 4G and I love that case. Unfortunately, they don't make cases for the Atrix yet. Any one have any ideas on a similar 2 piece rubber interior with the hard shell? I really like the design and protection it offers. Thx in advance!
Get the Otter Defender Case. I have dropped my phone plenty of times and there is no sign of damage to my Atrix.
Otterbox Commuter
it has silicone (rubber-style) inside with a hard shell cover outside. Minimal size with maximum protection.

Agreed I love my Commuter, and it matches what the op asked for better than the defender.
Defender - Hard plastic inside/ soft rubber out
Commuter - Soft rubber inside/ Hard plastic out
Try the $5 hard case from Amazon
I have tried 4-5 different cases ranging from $3 to $30 and I ended up with the $3 hardcase:
(1) $4 Silicon case: it got a little loose after a few days. Would come out of the sleeve if yo drag it too fast from the pocket. I still have 4 of different color at home.
(2) $25 feather case: it is a one piece design, basically protects the batter cover but not much on the front. Returned it.
(3) Otto case: Way to bulky! The whole idea to get an Atrix is for its sleekness!
(4) $3 hardcase (black) from Amazon: I love it the best. It does not add too much to the phone (1mm) and it fits very tight! It gives enough protection on the front (the edge on the front raises about 1mm). The only caution is that once it is installed, it is very hard to remove it. You can remove it by plying open the snaps on the four corners using a flathead screw driver, but woul probably destroy the case.
Thanks for the replies guys, I do like the Commuter! Probably gonna order one off Ebay this weekend! I don't like the the hard cases, but I've seen them allow dirt inside and end up scratching the plastics on the backs of phones.

have the speck case droped it one time phone poped out of the case and got scratched up do not recommend it go otter box
Well I have to vote for the spek case. I dropped my case and it cracked the case but phone was ok and stayed inside the case. I went and got another one, I find the otter box a bit bulky.
Both cases are very good IMHO
+1 for speck case, great size to protection ratio!

Official Moto Ruggedized replacement battery cover at cnn.cn. In stock and shipping. Some good discussion on this as well as a youtube review can be found on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020143
I've had it for a week and very happy due to the minimalistic design.
get either an seidio innocase or get an incipio feather case, those 2 are my personal favorites.
the innocase has a nice pad inside so it won't scratch the phones battery cover,while keeping it as small as possible.
the feather case is for the minimalist look, least amount of space consumption and the best for docks so you won't have to pull it out...but its a little fragile, it will protect for falls since it adds a little gap to the front but most likely the fall will take the hit and crack the case.
if you're looking for something similar to the case-mate cases, go for the sidio.

I highly recommend one of the glossy black TPU cases you can find off Amazon: $8.50 before tax.
Check these ones out. I'm currently using the plain black and it is very nice.

so what if he is/isn't advertising for some company. i'm just glad to see more companies making accessories for the tab 10.1
I welcome all and any new accessory for our Galaxy 10.1 tabs.
This MoKo case is not leather. If you read down, it says leather PU.
PU is poly urethane, which is nothing but vinyl. If you see the term "bonded leather", it means that the case is made up of a layer of a fabric like denim with glue on it, with ground up shreds of leather(waste material from leather industry), on top of the fabric and glue. Then you have a layer of PU that covers the top and is pressed together.
Do not get fooled by marketing terms that border on being dishonesty.
This is the same for half price

I bought one of these, it's alright. The flap is kinda loose, hard to explain, but just doesn't feel sturdy. I'm on here right now looking for something else.
I like my phone to be protected really well.....Have a look
1. Official Samsung Flip Case
2. Cheap S-Curve TPU case from eBay --> I bought this extra CHEAP case so I can experiment and cut it to fit the Flip Case. It's not the best cutting job, but it will do the job for now
3. Home made Phone Sock
I guess I will use this set up until the flip case dies, by then I will start using the Nillkin TPU Case.
ps. I really like the Nillkin ones...they are thin and fits the GNote really well
Great job. I'm still waiting for my TPU case to arrive so I can try this. Instead of the sock, I'll try a tiny short strip of velcro to keep the flip shot.

You beat me to it lol.
I was thinking about doing this, for the exact same reason as yourself. Just a quick question, does the cover fold all the way back like it would without the TPU case installed?

yeah, it does. the cover can bend all the way down to the edge of the tpu cover.
just did something similar. cut side off the tpu gel case, stretched the gel case to fit the slightly thicker flip case back cover.
it works, but the tpu case loses some of its rigidity when you cut it, it wont stick as well to the phone.

I think the best way is to avoid cutting near the corner. Instead of cutting the gel case to suit the flip cover, cut some of the leather flap to make it shorter/narrower, then you cut the gel case to fit it (just below the volume rocker. Here's a pic:

doing it that way would then cause the the flip cover to lose some durability.
by cutting the tpu case to fit the flip case as is, you still leave 1.5cm of gel case around the corners, which is enough for the phone to hold the case on. the only point of weakness lies in the flip case making the phone's rear thicker. by cutting one side of the tpu case and having to wrap it around a thicker phone will kinda distort the tpu case a little.
its not enough to make it fall off that easily, at least not now. but its not as rigid compared to tpu case uncut and i'd expect it to become a little loose with wear and tear.
Yo, sup dawg, I herd you like cases, so I put a case in your case so you can put another case while you using a case in a case.

lol, for my motorola atrix, i had the ballistic hardcore case. you get the core plastic+tpu case with screen protector integrated, and then a silicone skin that can fit on the outside, and then a beltclip/screen guard. when you run the inner case and silicone skin together, the device is water-resistant.
but honestly, i dont see why people think what we're doing is silly.
the flip cover is good for protecting the screen, but doesnt protect the corners. protecting the corners is important because statistically, if you were to drop your phone, its 90+% more likely to land on a corner first than flat on its face. the vibrations of the drop are then going to transfer into the device's internals, which can do a bit of damage, hence you need protection for the corners.
the tpu case is good for protecting the device itself but offers no real protection from the screen aside from preventing it from getting damaged if it were to land flat face down. if your screen were to land on a corner of a table, you'd be screwed.
by combining the cases, you get the best of both worlds protection wise.

I'm with you on this, Considering I paid more for this phone than I paid for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G (coz I couldn't wait for it to be officially released lol) I'm gonna protect the hell out of this thing.

i agree there.
about 6 months ago i bought my motorola atrix for $500. to me, spending $40 on a ballistic hardcore case is cheap insurance for a $500 phone.
and a few weeks ago i spent $800 on my galaxy note (now some places are selling it for $600), to me, $30 is cheap insurance to ensure it continues running well. although i would prefer another ballistic hardcore case, i dont think ballistic have any plans for the note.

yeah...there aren't that many good Case Company that have plans for our Note
I wish casemate would make a tough case for the note. I loved them for my gs and gs II. They had a thin flexible silicone sleeve that went around the phone then a hard outer shell that went around the silicone.
great freaking case.
I should be updating this post to Quadruple Protection...because I have just put the Skinomi Carbon Fibre Skin on it this Friday.
and I must say the skinomi skin is Great!
one particular advantage about the way i have it set up...
the friction of the tpu gel case means it doesnt slide, meaning i can use the flip cover as a stand.

Nice....Is that the S-Curve TPU?
Do you find the unlock button hard to press?
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140637892999&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:AU:1123
the case i bought was this one.
it is slightly harder to press the power button, but thats mainly because of the way im using the case. the phone is slightly thicker when you use the samsung flip cover, so the gel case has to be stretched a little. on the case, theres a slightly softer rubber/plastic gap for the power button which works well normally, but since the case is stretched a little, it is slightly off center for the power button. not enough to cause problems, but enough to notice a bit of a difference.
but overall, i'd say it works well. gel case + screen protector + flip cover = ready to take this thing when i go paintballing!
Had anybody tried the incipio feather? I am looking for a lightweight case that doesn't have a folding top or book style case.

Is that the plastic shell case? If it is, I have one and love it. The only problem is the price. I bought mine for like $30 which is wayyy too much for a plastic shell case. I only got it because I couldnt find a cheaper alternative. If someone is making a cheaper one, get that. Its literally just a flimsy, rubberized plastic shell like you can pick up on eBay for your phone for a dollar
I want to buy a protective bumper or case for my moto G any suggestion?
don't waste your money.
I've got a ton of cases and imho the cheap 2 to 4 dollar tpu cases just work. I'm not gonna spend 30 bucks for a logo.
But that's just me in the end its up to you.
My 2¢
my favorite is Amzer® Hybrid Kickstand Case - Black/ Black

This looks really cool. I saw the same thing with no brand name on eBay. Fosmon also selling the same case. I think soon there will be copy of this being sold by Chinese sellers for under 10 bucks and free shipping.
im using the trident aegis in blue on my motog and its very good, fits really well and it has protected my phone from a few drops
A simple tpu case that covers all the buttons and corners, with raised corners around the screen would be fine and will protect enough the phone. I use a simple one transparent with no brand.
Hey there,
I think it would be stupid to open a new thread.
I am also looking for a case but in my case it has to be "water residence". When I do sport (gym or bicycle) and keep it in my pocket its getting wet but on the other hand I wont disclaim the music
So, any suggestions so that I also still can switch tracks
Cheers

I am still rocking the original shell, and then use Liquid screen protector for the screen and the glossy side bit
