Should I buy a case for my RAZR?? How many of you guys out there have I've and which one?
Sent from my XT910 using XDA App
I'm pretty anal about my devices, and haven't used a case (bought some, but they just turned into toys for my daughter) and my vote is: no case, they add unwanted bulk to the device, and sometimes interfere with some functionality. Just treat it nice (aka, don't put it in your back pocket, and get on a roller coaster...)

TPU cases are great. Adds little to no bulk, but provides good protection. Stronger than silicon but not solid and unflexable. I recommended the Cruzerlite TPU cases. Can be had for $9 and change on amazon. I bought a few. All the cutouts are perfectly placed and there are several different designs to choose from.

But then you can't see the Kevlar...

Oh god forbid you can't see the kevlar! I'll personally sacrifice the kevlar for the added protection.

Yupz.. sgp it's cool..
The back of the phone is very scratchable.
I got this case for $9 on Ebay, like it a lot. That trransparent part is matte, so kevlar is semi-visible.
Seido has some good cases - with a holster too
I got the Seido Active, doesn't add much bulk, fits in the car mount (With the car mount insert taken out), and has a holster too. I did try an otter box with a holster, but it didn't fit in the car mount, and the combo with the holster is huge.
I have two Razr Maxx(es), both with Otterbox Defender cases & belt holsters. Very impressed with the ruggedness as well as the comfort level using. Most stores charge $50, but you can get them for either the Maxx or the regular Razr on eBay for much less. I got them for $38 (I think) and each one included a car charger too.
How are casemate cases? Any one using it?

ebay > /itm/BLACK-CLEAR-TPU-GUMMY-SKIN-HARD-SOFT-CASE-VERIZON-MOTOROLA-DROID-RAZR-XT912-/300646356770 this one is very beautiful
If anyone has a RAZR MAXX, just an FYI the regular RAZR silicone case will fit well!
I went with a case. The metal edges are just to slippery. I like more grip.
I went with the Verizon car with the kickstand.

I have a really nice case, it’s the "$6.99 a month to Verizon for replacement even caused by accidental damage" case.

W/ that said I'm using a Defender. All my phones have/had defenders. I'm rough on my stuff and it really helps the resale later when my phone is in pristine condition. Plus this RAZR being so thin I just felt like I was going to break it soon. Sucks though b/c I have a white RAZR and I tell you, the white with the black accents is wicked looking.
I ain't using case right now, but I will international ship that case, with the back empty, protecting only what need it.

I put a phantom skinz on mine. It's just a wrap. Prevents the scratches if you want to resell later. They have carbonfiber prints that look pretty good. Lifetime warranty on the skin and they have a screen protector that isn't sticky like the zagg product can be.
Which case is the best?

Haven't tried the seidio case but the defender is better than commuter by far. Offers more protection imo
So true man. I only buy the defender.

i too use otterbox defender.. but its too bulky but worth it
Ballistic is sick. Got a 5 layer protection against water . Dirt. And of course crashes or smashes. The outer rubber protects your usb charge, Jack. Camera buttons .making it waterproof (or at least for some time, before u take it out lol) . Price is ONLY....$25! got mine for $20

I have been using Seidio HEV3D case.... Love it. Thin case with good protection and the included kickstand is just gravy!
I like the defender but the edge is too close to the screen making certain keys hard to hit on keyboard.

Just put in my order for the Otterbox Defender Hopefully I'll be satisfied

Ok so my Otterbox Defender just came and I love it! I do, however, have one problem with it. The attracted screen protectorgives the screen an oily look that is really frustrating to look at. Does anyone know how to fix this? What have you all done?

anyone have the incipio feather case? looking at getting this and just seeing if anyone has any complaints on it?
I have the Incipio feather shine in black. Its by far my favorite case that Ive bought so far for this phone. The fit is great as are the look and feel. Its not as slippery as my Ringke Slim case was either. I would recommend it.

Ordering it now, thanks!
How badly does this case attract lint? I see a lot of dual layer cases and stay away from them for this reason; they all seem to use super soft silicon that is a lint magnet. I am pretty picky too, I hate taking it out of my pocket and having it lined with lint.

I have the samsung flip case and I'm loving it so far. Thin and as protective as I need.

I don't know about the feather, but I have the dual shine from incipio and it is horribly designed. I can't recommend it.
I have the body glove case from sprint. this is the best case by far, textured, matte back, so I'm not going to drop it. I had the flip case, but that was too much for me. I Also had a silicone case from Amazon, but that was too glossy and it was a fingerprint magnet.

I have the OtterBox Commuter. It is a lot slimmer than the Defender series but it still protects your phone really well. I've broken my case twice and contacted OtterBox and they sent me a replacement case twice. They have really good customer service. I know the case isn't the slimmest out there but it's the slimmest it gets with some good protection.

+1 on the other box.
I've dropped my phone a few times already and this case is still going strong. Only hassle was getting the buttons into the holes of the case.

If you want really slim, go with the CaseMate Barely There! If you want really slim and a solid back(no cut-out for the kickstand), there are cases on ebay. They are very very similar to the Barely There case, they just don't have the kickstand cut-out, slightly better camera protection, AND only $6 shipped!! I bought one in white, and it just arrived today. First impression: Very nice case! I'll take a pic and post it in just a minute.

Here it is. Few angles to show that the top and bottom aren't covered, just the sides. Sides do come up enough so the screen will not touch if you set it face down though. Nice touch I think.

the incipio feather case also is slim but doesnt protect the top and bottom like the case-mate, but it does have the kickstand cutout. I have a small issue with mine not completely reaching the side with volume keys but it's insignificant... if you want pictures just let me know
You guys and your otter box lol .. that case is over priced and fall apart.. not to mention the phone is big enough and now your adding more bulk to it .. get the cruzerlite case.. its 12 bucks on amazon and fits like a glove.. I've dropped this phone so many times and not one scratch or bruise.. nice and thin.

You might want to check out photos of Evo 4G LTE's bent along the kickstand axis. No soft case will protect your phone against such kind of damage.

The impact doesn't have to be in the kickstand area for this type of damage to occur. This area is the weakest point of the aluminum frame, so the phone is most likely to bend there. Only a rigid case protecting the front and the back edges of the phone would prevent it.

I have 3 of those. Bought the smoke grey, clear, and the red. These are very nice TPU cases! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a TPU case!! I also have the 2-piece Seidio case in white (with the holster), 2 Commuter cases (one in each color combination so I could make my own black/white Commuter) , matte clear TPU case, and the case I pictured a few posts back. So far, I prefer the one pictured in this thread and my black and white Commuter! Nice to have different options depending on what I'm doing! Main reason though, in all honesty, I'm just an accessory whore when it comes to my phones! Lol. I do this with every phone I buy, and only use some once before they collect dust in a drawer until I sell the phone a year later.

Can you post a picture of how your phone looks like with the white and black combo of the commuter case? I'm considering buying the white/pink one to try that out.

Here's a pic of the Commuter in a Seidio Active holster. The fit is perfect, like the two were made for one another!! I also have the Seidio Surface case and holster. While you can put the Commuter in the Surface holster, it is too tight and far from ideal. If you already have the Surface holster and refuse to buy the Active holster, then it will get you by I suppose...but you should be planning to get the Active holster asap!

Here's what you're left with after using the white silicone and black plastic hard shell.You get the black silicone and pink plastic hard shell. I'm gonna put this on ebay, before too much longer I hope. I think this looks better, or at least just as good, than the pink/white case sold by Otterbox. I think Otterbox should let the customer decide what color silicone and what color hard plastic they want when ever placing an order. This would slow down their warehouse, or maybe just require them to hire one or two more warehouse employees, but would increase their sales I think.

Took a few pics of my white/black Commuter with my white Evo LTE in it. I can put my Black Evo LTE in my white/black Commuter if anyone wants to see what that combo looks like.
I usually switch out the cases on my phone every day or two, but I've kept this Commuter on there for 4 days now. That's the longest I've went with the same case on my phone in years! Definitely like this Commuter combination case!
