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.

You try to find it on ebay, I think you 'll find a variety of rubber case for your device and the price is quite affordable
I got my girlfriend a Amzer TPU case, I have the same kind on my Tbolt

I bought a $4 silicone case from amazon that seems to be working quite well. It doesnt quite fit as snug as I'd like though, but it keeps the profile small and its easy to get out of my pocket.
Case
Yeah..i think silicon case is better..
I am now using a soft pouch, I think it's better than a silicone case because it protects also the screen and it's not "sticky" like silicone cases are (I always found difficult to put the phone into the jeans' pocket when I am sitting if I use a TPU case)... You could try a pouch and see if you like it
Thanks for the ideas on cases. I have thought about getting one but never sure which are cheap and rip easy or whatnot.

How fat is it? I have a rubber case also but I don't consider it fat. I have not seen any case for this phone also.

I bought a $7 silicone case from my local ATT store and this thing is the best. It fits nice and snug, and is easy to remove if need be. Of course, I wear carpenter jeans so the slight stickiness doesn't bother me. AFAIK tho, I believe they stopped selling it in my area so that may be the case everywhere.
These three cases look nice! Does anyone have them? Which is best?

I have the HTC TPU Skin Case - very nice.
Text of test.
I have black rubber case. I love it.
Which case do you prefer for your cell phone?
Silicone, when you take your device out of your pocket, chances are the case will slip and stay in your pocket and the device will be in your hand, without the case.
TPU, have not used it.
If your phone is falling out of your silicone skin case, you have a cheap, ill-fitting case. I use the Amzer Jelly case on my Galaxy Tab 10.1, Nexus S and up until a few weeks ago on my Sensation. That NEVER happened to me. I also alternate between an Amzer Jelly case and a clear TPU case on my Amaze. Both cases fit correctly. I now use a TPU case with a clear plastic inlay on my Sensation. Also no problems there either.

I use neither on my phone...got skinomi, couldn't stand the bulkiness of having the other types of cases, regardless of the added protection it might have provided.
I prefer TPU cases. I've never been a big fan of silicone cases. As of now, I have an Otterbox Commuter case which is actually silicone and hard shell. The silicone part is a little loose but it has the hard outer shell around it so it's alright.
I got a cheap TPU case off eBay, and I must say it is very good and the design is very nice. It is the "S-shaped" on the back, black TPU case.

Bodyguardz
I prefer Bodyguardz full body protection. It's a wet application type material that feels like plastic but after drying up it hardens and becomes protective. It can be removed at any time and does not interfere with the normal operation of the phone (yes, you can still take out your battery). Honestly I have not dropped my HTC HD7 as of yet, but one thing's for sure it will protect this phone from any scratches on the actual case. Plus, I don't have to constantly clean the screen anymore to remove "finger magnet" phenomena.
It's kinda like InvisibleShield except that it's waaay more reliable and comfortable. If that doesn't please you, they also have a cool Carbon-Fiber cover that is a dry application type. You should give their site a try
i prefer silicon case
there are some cases made of both TPU (soft) and PC (hard) materials. I think such types of case will work fine.

TPU (termoplastic polyuretane) has the benefit of flexibility like silicone but the nongrip effect of the plastic. I would warmly recommend to you to go with the TPU even though it's a bit more expensive than silicone.
If you take into account that silicone lasts for about a month before it starts to stretch and starts falling off your cellphone like a gooey toy, the TPU will last for about 2 years before showing signs of ware.
BTW. you could try the ebay for cheap TPU cases. about=<2$
Otter Box your phone will look brand new when you get your next phone.

TPU all the way! When i had silicone lint from my pocket would always be on it after taking it out of my pocket..... TPU is much smoother and just better in my opinion.

Correct. The RingKe Slim is the best thin white case you will find for the Galaxy Nexus. Also, it fits the extended battery.

I would strongly advise you against rearthe. I used it on mine, I got the metallic 1, the paint started coming out in 3-4 months, it developed cracks in 7-8 months, n the best thing of all, because its such a tight fitting case, it scratched up all the sides of my phone housing. Get a tpu. Best white 1 that I use is mercury tpu. Or get a cheap white hard case from ebay. Also, search in aliexpress for white hard cases, lot of really good ones, I dont like hard cases anymore, hard to take off.

I'd have to agree on this one. I too had the Ringke Rearth, same problems as above (minus the paint chipping off - mine was glossy white). A white TPU case is your best best - cheap, flexible, and easy to take on/off.
Been using the neo hybrid for a bit only issue is it adds some bulk because of its square design, also the fact that its not that grippy doesnt help.
Thinking of returning it for a better slimmer case. Any suggestions?
forgot to mentions i am also using the spigen crystal screen protector

For full phone coverage the Diztronic tpu case is fairly thin. For a little less protection the Rinke slim hard case is very thin and keeps the original feeling of the phone.

I've been very pleased with my Spigen ultra fit. Ringke also has a version, and LG is supposed to have a similar one soon as well (there's thread titled LG hardshell).
The Spigen case probably does not offer the same drop protection since it is a plastic shell, but I like that it at least feels like the phone (both colors' feel/texture are well matched to each phone color's feel/texture), and retains the phone's slim design. My only warning would be to add 4 tiny strips of Scotch tape inside the edges of this case, since some people have reported the case scratching their phone sides upon removal.
I do not recommend ultra fit

been researching through all the cases espcially the slim ones. Both spigen and ringkes slim one can scratch up the phone and are really sharp on the edges... might just go naked with screen protector , the black nexus 5 feels so good in the hands =)
Mine has no sharp edges. Guess I got lucky!
U should check out skins. I heard good things about dbrand

Snap on case for Nexus 5
I use this Snap on case for my N5 and it really goes well with the look of my phone and do complete justice with it....the case quality is very fine..fine grip..not slippery..can also lay my phone on the table from screen side no worries..protects the phone from both upper and downward ends...and as it is too a kick stand one so I too enjoy the media viewing on it.....I like this one...so you can give a try to it...may be you like it...
thanks !!!
I use a suede pouch for the Nexus 5. Check out sfbags .
Thank you...Jimmy..I had considered...the Amzer case...indeed the texture looks very grippy...and..the kickstand is a nice feature as well...what do you think..about the durability of the kickstand?...I have read in a few reviews..that the kickstand breaks after the first few uses...let us know..what you think...thanks..
I picked up a couple of $3 cheap Chinese imports from Ebay. TPU, gloss black "bumper" with matte-black back. Super thin, just thick enough to negate the camera lens bump. I wish I could tell you the brands, but "generic" is all that comes to mind. One did have a little seam ridge along the very outside edge - which I took care of with a disposable razor. Just shave it off.

Same here, I ordered a matte black hard plastic case. Exact same feel as the actual phone and is very slim. For 1.68 free shipping how can you go wrong?!
Ringke slim. Feels like the same exact phone with our a case on but providing protection for the lenses

Using Spigen Slim Armor. To me, doesn't add me bulk or weight. The back isn't very slick (although it shows fingerprints and smudges pretty easy, but they wipe off just as easily). I like it, very pleased with it. I did get one of the defective ones, but it was replaced very quickly, and now it's fine.

I bought this case off eBay:
http://m.ebay.com/itm/400619070423?nav=SEARCH&sbk=1
Out of 3 different cases I bought (neo hybrid, bumper, s line) it was the cheapest. To my surprise it also is the best fitting. Felt comfortable in the hand, easy to grip and hold, doesn't feel like its going to slip out of your hand like the neo hybrid.
The neo hybrid is a nice case, but it feels awkward and uncomfortable due to is solid square design. Spigen needs to redesign it with curves around the back for better geip., but it just feels huge to hold in comparison to the eBay one I linked too, and a naked nexus 5

I agree completely. This diztronic does truly fit the phone like a glove and makes it better to hold. Love it! My 2nd phone with a case from them and they have won over a customer for every phone they support from now on.
