If anyone knows of a better case to get could you please post a link...preferably to ebay or amazon
Thank you to anyone who is willing to help
I got this one at Radio Shack and so far I like it. Seems to give the phone a little protection and does not add too much to the phone. It was only about $9.00.
Incipio MT-106 Feather Case for Motorola Atrix 4G - Matte Black
I have the speck case. Very durable and even dropped my phone from about five feet high landing on the corner of the case on the edge of my metal bedframe. The case has a little dent where that happened but nothing happened to the phone. Doesnt fit very well in the dock but is extremely easy to take on and off.
you should think about getting a new back cover (i believe they come in green or blue) and then just putting a high quality screen protector on your phone. the scratch issue is gone, the phone still fits in the dock, and the screen is decently protected.
this may help:

I would recommend the Seidio Active case from www.seidioonline.com if you dont like bulk but want decent protection. I own that case in Sapphire Blue and love it. I'm currently using my Ballistic HC series case, which is the BEST protection you can possibly get for the Atrix. Beats the otterbox defender hands down.

I USE THIS ONE ALL BLACK http://www.amazon.com/Black-Hybrid-R...7828950&sr=8-3
I'm definitely gonna buy a new back cover - http://cnn.cn/shop/motorola-mb860-atrix-blue-silicone-case-p-11666.html and most probably also the seido case - http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-CSK3MT..._1_5?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1317897936&sr=1-5
just a couple of more questions:
Will the seido case work with the docking station?
Which screen protector should i get as well?
Personally I just bought an oem battery door from ebay and it fits perfect, with less creaking than my old one. Plus I purchased a tpu case from ebay also, I always go with these tpu cases as they are lightweight and protect from major falls. Dropped my inc-s which had one from about 4 feet onto concrete and not a single mark was left on the phone. Hope this helps.
Sorry if I sounds like an idiot, kinda new to posting
I still prefer the old flip leather case I used with my HTCs with windows mobile. Good times...

To be honest, I love the aesthetics of this case; however, I dislike it very much right now.
I recently dropped my phone as I was getting out of my car. It's not a high car. I saw the phone hit the ground, the case flew off, and then my phone hit the ground again.
Now, my once pristine phone has deep scratches on all 4 corners.
Sad times.

New dilemma
Ok now after all of my case searching these are the two choices that i have:
An Incipio Feather Case and Zagg Screen Protector
or
An Incipio SILICRYLIC-Hard-Shell-Case-with-Silicone-Core
Which one should i get now?
btw i couldnt get what i said i was getting before cause they do not deliver to Pakistan but Incipio and Zagg do from their official websites
get the Otterbox Commuter
Dont really like the Otterbox commuter...what about the two cases that i stated before? Which one of those should i get?
Pwersonally, I would go for the 'Clear Protector' instead of Zagg... I have tried both and found the 'clear' a smarter fit.
As for the cover, it is up to you. Trial and erorr no doubt. I have the mesh cover which fits well (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/new-Hard-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item53e8938ff1) and provides protection.
I prefer Martin Fields than Zagg. They seem comparable in protection but Martin Fields has no orange peel yet has anti glare and also A LOT easier to 'install' on your phone.
I just got my atrix but i dont like the plastic cover. I had desire to this point and i am looking for a case which has that kind of feel like desire.
I would really appreciate any help
Hello
Have any of you tried the TRIDENT AEGIS case for the ATRIX 4G. It surely looks great and functional, but I'm not sure abut the build quality as it can be docked along with the phone. Please post your review and pictures
Sure!
Just ordered from their site, and look very promising, JUS THE WAY I WAS EXPECTING A CASE TO BE for the Atrix! (And let me tell you I own at least 6 cases each one 30+ f*** bucks)
Once I get it delivered, will upload a modest review and some pictures attached in HD dock and Lapdock, (´cause of course, it won´t fit car dock)
My primary case is an Active Case from Seidio (such a fantastic combo) along with its Holster Clip. However, taking my Atrix out of the case for car dock navigation or simply hd dock is a pain to the a-....
OK! I remember! (this mojitos won´t help that out... however, mmmmm!) The point of this case for me is to get it fit in the holster clip from seidio active without the case for sure, using trident´s.
Will let you know!
ok, let us know, i just felt in love with the nice "man solid appeal"of the case
Think it twice
Hey guys,
As you know I ordered this case some time ago, and just received it. And you know what? I´m not in the mood to make a review of it, at the second attempt to open the flap to engage the media/dock mode, one of the strings just broke up, the bottom one, so easy (and I´m a very careful person regarding these matters) without forcing it at all or aplying so much pressure.
So if you want to try for yourself, go for it BUT PLEASE, excercise the most delicate usage if don´t wanna go my way.
So sad...

First, this case is on sale at Amazon for $10 including shipping!!
I am impressed with the quality and feel. This origionally sold for around $35 and you get what you pay for. It comes with a screen protector (a dry one) also a covering for the camera lens. I have a plastic plug for the earphone jack I got off ebay for $1.
This is a hard polycarbonite case, not the soft flimsy type, and it is thin yet sturdy and feels and looks great. So far I love it.
If you place your thumb on the center back logo when opening, it opens easily.
If I find any problems or any disappointments I'll post here. But for $10 you can't go wrong.
I'm sorry to hear about your bad experince with the case but so glad you are telling about.
There seems to be mixed thoughts on the case. Decided to get the seidio surface as I only hear positive feedback on this.

Yeah mine broke at the hinge after a couple of weeks too.
best case
I've had almost every case made for the Atrix. The Aegis is by far definitely my favorite because it is small, neat, nice materials, feels good, looks great. Yes the hinge is a bit delicate, but if you CAREFULLY open the case you can avoid breaking the hinge. And even if you break it you can still use the case depending on how bad it breaks. The case is made from a hard polycarbonite material, not a soft rubbery silicone which I got very tired of over time. These cases are on sale on Amazon for $10, down from the regular $30.....cheap. I bought 2 of them just in case. Comes with a dry screen protector and a cleaning micro fiber cloth. Also comes with a camera lens cover but that added fog to the picture when using the flash so I don't use that. This case put new life into my Atrix so I am happy for the time being. I bought silicon covers for the ports off Ebay for a few bucks to keep out dust. Anyway just my opinion on things.
This is my first review so take it easy on me >_<
I've always ordered otterbox cases for my phone's, this time i wanted to switch it up. Two factors led me to order this case over the otterbox, first i didn't want the charging port and headphone jack covered up by silicone, that always annoyed me about the otterbox case's. Second i wanted a commuter case and it seemed at the time know one had the black one in stock.
I received the case today and so far i am very pleased with the case, it fits REALLY snug and tight and its comparable in thickness to the commuter. One thing i did notice is that this is the only case i have seen that were the kickstand is located it has a circle which makes access to the stand A-LOT easier.
i'll report back on the durability of the case but so far i like the form and finish. One thing to note, for some reason case-mate has not posted the case on their site but their are couple reputable vendors selling them.
I bought mines of amazon for 24$ with shipping include

I've been using a heavy duty case with built-in screen protector on my phones for the last few years. Because of the nature of my work having the screen protector built into the case is important, I only use the case at work and I hate using stick on screen protectors on my phones since they're not needed for normal use. I've been trying to find a heavy duty case with built-in screen protector for the S8+ but they all come without the screen protector, I'd guess it's because of the curved screen. Does anyone know if there will eventually be versions that come with the screen protector? Or if there are some cases with the screen protector that I haven't found yet?

Lifeproof has their case and it's waterproof, but expensive @ $80! Also, you can look at the Love Mei cases and can buy them from ebay or amazon. :good:
http://www.lovemeicase.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=87_207
I have good experiences with love mei powerful and otterbox defender cases on past phones.
the otterbox defender is a plastic hard case with an additional silicone case wrapped around it, and an integrated plastic screen protector.
the otterbox usually also comes with a clip that can be used as a holster or kickstand.
the love mei powerful is basicly a DIY kit for making your phone an "active" model.
it's a metal case with a silicone bumper sandwiched between the front and back plates, held together by screws.
the screen protector is glass glued to the front metal plate, and all holes are covered or sealed to offer basic splash and dust resistance.
if you're looking for a case you only use for work and take off at home i'd recommend the otterbox, it's the easiest to take off.
Otterbox Defender doesnt have a built in screen protector!!! Per Otterbox website

I have the otterbox defender for the S8 (not the +). I can confirm that the otterboxes for both the S8 and S8+ DO NOT have built in screen protectors. While every previous versions of these cases did, and they gave no indication prior to the release date of the phone that they wouldn't (including on their website when they started shipping them, I preordered mine when I ordered my S8), the new version "is screenless to allow full use of the curved screen", and otterbox tells you to buy one of their alpha glass screen protectors at $50/pop if you want a screen protector.
If you check Otterbox's website you'll see the myriad of 1-star reviews for their S8 cases over this issue, as they basically bait-and-switched everyone who preordered the Defender, and are now saying "Give us more money to have your screen protected."
I'd steer clear of the Otterbox for that reason. If you don't need the holster, the Lifeproof is probably your best way to go. If you do need the holster... Well then, I don't know what to tell you. Perhaps an Otterbox with an added screen protector, though the ones I've tried don't fit well. Or get the Lifeproof and add a belt clip to it. The one Lifeproof sells has some mixed reviews, but you can probably aftermarket add one that would work, or just use an old fashioned holster-type slip case.
Anyone can recommend me any cases for the S8, with a built in screen protector? All the ones you mentioned here are not released yet. Plus I've done research before the S8 released, and the day the S8 released, and I was unable to find any cases with a built in screen protector, that wss already released. All the info I can get is greatly appreciated!

I just came across Punkcases this morning. They have a few different versions of cases. One of them has a built in screen protector, and is certified water, snow and dustproof, and also military grade. I just purchased mine this morning a few minutes ago. I thought I would share here, since you're also in need of a case with the built in screen protector.
The reviews on their website, for this specific case, seems to be very good. I have yet to try one out myself though. But as soon as I receive mine I will let you know how it is. I chose expedited shipping when I ordered this morning. By the way, I already broke my S8 while in an OtterBox Defender case, and had to get a replacement from insurance(arriving today). But to me, OtterBox cases are complete BS, and the case broke in one day. Not to mention, after the S8 and the OtterBox case both broke. My dog got a hold of the OtterBox case and was able to rip off the side bumpers, and rip the case in half, in literally seconds. That's how bad, and crappy Otterbox cases are, that they're able to rip in seconds! It's supposed to be very durable and resist a lot! I honestly thought it would be tough as nails, and resist a dog messing and biting with it for awhile before it got damaged! Not seconds!
But I leave you with a link here on the bottom, directly to the case I purchased. which has a built in screen protector.

My S7 edge just got bricked last week and so, having nothing to lose, I thought I'd test the case. It's an Otterbox. I'm not sure of the name but it's fairly thin looking. I was honestly expecting poor results but throwing it about 2m high and 3m forward onto cement left it without a scratch. I did it about 7 or 8 times.

Looks interesting but I can't see on the website how you install it. It also looks like you would have to disassemble it whenever you need to change the SIM or MicroSD. I travel abroad every month or two and have to change my SIM every time.
When you have it, can you also check if it is wireless charging friendly?

Otterbox Defender with Screen Protector Available in the UK?
This is my first time here... I found this thread because I too, am searching for the best of the best case for my Galaxy S8.
I was sitting on a flight from the UK to New York 3rd week of June 2017, next to a woman who had an Otterbox Defender for her Galaxy S8 and it had a Otterbox OEM built in screen protector. The quality of the plastic appeared to look and feel like the same plastic they have always used in the defender model.
I had previously read the threads from various sites on this case because I have always used the defender since my galaxy S about 7 phones ago and was going to upgrade my S7 to the S8 soon. I was actually searching for case info while on the flight. Anyway, I had read that the new Defender for the S8 came without screen protection.
I had a discussion with her and she told me that bought the case at a street shop in Glassgow that sold many things other than phones so it was not a dedicated phone store. I howevr, have not been able to locate one even on international websites. There is no mention of this on Otterbox's website and I neglected to ask her how long ago she bought it.
Could it be that this is another "Not In America" thing? Any light anyone can shed on this would be helpful! I received my S8 yesterday but have not yet ordered a case for it.
I got the Punkcase waterproof (Studstar) for my S8. Firstly, I just wanted to mention the customer service I received from Punkcase - it was pretty bad. I ordered the case, two weeks later still hadn't received anything, and no updates. So I found another waterproof case that looked pretty similar on eBay, ordered that and asked to cancel the Punkcase. They sent me a message saying the case was very popular and backordered, and thanks for your patience, but they didn't cancel it. Almost two weeks later still no case, and no word, so I emailed them again and told them to cancel my order (again), since it hadn't been shipped and was almost a month since my order. They immediately (within an hour) sent me a tracking number saying it had been shipped, but no apologies or communication, and no cancellation. However, the tracking number was just that, a number - it hadn't been shipped at all, and wouldn't be for another week. They just created a tracking number to prevent me from being able to cancel the order. Pretty dishonest.
I finally received the case, and really it's just ok. It feels cheaper than the $40 I paid, and certainly if I'd paid the regular price of $80 I would have been pissed.The one I got off ebay for $15 was about the same quality. It is definitely water proof, and has the screen protector, but there is a bit of a gap between the cheap plastic protector and the screen, the case adds enormous width and I feel like a face down drop would absolutely not protect the screen enough to prevent a shattered screen. I'm going to use it for a while, but keep looking guys, the Punkcase is not the one.
Ghostek Cases?
Does anybody here have any experience with Ghosttek Cases?
More specifically this one: http://www.ghostekproducts.com/phon...f-protective-case-cover-ghostek-nautical.html ?
I have the pelican voyager for the s8 plus and it comes with a removable built in screen protector and a belt clip.. some of the reviews weren't great but I took a chance on it and liked it just fine
I had the nautical. Its a good case for 40 dollars.
I now have the lifeproof fre and ill say from having both the fre is definitly worth the money.
I didnt even want to test the nautical under water....the lifeproof works great under water.
The nautical is bulky
The lifeproof is slim... about perfect... only downside is the screen protector has a very small rise off the screen... not a deal breaker tho.
Hope this helps
S8 Clayco Hera Series https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XJ3L7FL/
I don't think I have seen this case mentioned, but it seems to be a good middle ground between something like a life proof and one of the cases more meant for further waterproofing. The reviews on the S8 version really bash it for the screen protector losing a lot of touch sensitivity, but in my experience it isn't that much- just the occasional key stroke. Meanwhile the S8 Plus version is well reviewed. Overall I like it and use it, although not all the time only when I am doing something where I really need the protection such as hiking or going to the bar and having a few.
Edit: Looks like the one I bought is out of stock and they are coming out with an updated one: https://www.amazon.com/Clayco-Updated-Version-Full-body-Protector/dp/B073TRVKKK/

I disagree. Life proof sux. There is like a 1mm strip of foam in the middle of the case and that is the extent of drop protection. I have both defender with alpha glass and lifeproof. Lifeproof feels like a trinket from a quarter machine at the grocery store compared to defender. I have gone through 5 or 6 alpha glass protectors and the new ones are better but still not a perfect fit. Call the warranty line for whichever case u want and u can get it for like $5. Both of these cases have lifetime replacement warranties.
Hello
I wanted to let the community know the hassle I went through with this company. I've had the rhino shield for the S7 and loved it. I bought the first one through Amazon but had a defect and promptly returned it. No hassle no questions asked. I eventually had another go and ordered another one; it was perfect.
However with the S8 it has only been a hassle. I made the mistake by ordering it through their website. Unbeknownst to me the S8 rhino shield only had problems. First, the bumper does not fit with decal girl skins; I believe reading other threads slick wrap skins and Dbrand skins do not work neither. I tried decal girl twice.
The sides of the case are loose; they do not hold the case properly. When you grip the phone the case's edge moves out of place causing an awkward hold. How this protects the phone I don't know. At this point I decided to return the case.
Finally customer service. I contact Rhinoshield and they gave me the run around for two weeks. Finally after telling them bluntly I wanted a refund they stated they will not give me a shipping label and I have to pay out of my own pocket. They also stated I should buy insurance and shipping tracking because if the package somehow got lost they would not cover me.
TLDR: this case does not fit correctly. Customer service is subpar. Buy from Amazon to have no hassle and get a full refund.
I'm not the only one there are numerous threads on reddit and xda regarding their customer service and their product.
I would agree with everything you said. I loved the crashguard for my Nexus 6P. The Samsung S8 Crashguard is disappointing. I had a dbrand skin that got ruined by the case. I just got the honeycomb wrap by Slickwraps to replace it and it also started to lift. The sides are loose and I still find it slippery to hold. I also made the mistake of ordering it through their website so we'll see if I get the run around. Do not by the crashguard or their tempered glass screen protector. Save your money!
I've heard that they revised the bumper to be tighter. I just got one a week ago and don't see it being loose as the videos I've see online. I've heard warnings that it wouldn't be compatible with skins but decided to take the risk and go ahead and get one.
Just applied one from Slickwraps and looks great. After putting the Rhinoshield back on the phone, it creased the corners and top/bottom edges a little. Took off the Rhinoshield and used a heatgun to iron out the creases and tried again. Corners looked fine but the top/bottom edges still had some creases. Using a heat gun, ironed out the edges with the Rhinoshield on. Overall, I'm pleased with the result. You can see it a little where it's creased but makes it look like it's part of the Rhinoshield.
Just wanted to throw this out there for people who are googling using Rhinoshield with skins. YMMV but I'm very satisfied by how it turned out for me. I'll post back if I have any problems with it down the road.
Ironically I did hear about this "revised" version and actually ordered it a couple days ago to test out. I ended up ordering it through Amazon instead of directly through them so I didn't have to deal with their BS return policy.
Do you have any pictures with the slick wrap?
i have the latest one and i must say that i am 80% happy. no loose or anything. i have a dbrand skin which it pushes it a bit at the bottom of the phone but nothing TOO serious. i can deal with it.
in general i am pleased with if even though it makes it bulky and hides the phone's beauty. if you want to be upset with them.... be upset for their screen protector which sucks.
