I wanna buy a case for my Atrix. My budget is small (around $5-$10).
So which one would you reccomend me?
Thanks!
I like the basic TPU cases. They don't add too much bulk and don't collect dust, but protect the phone from dings and scratches. They also have a lip around the front, so if the phone is set on a flat surface the screen won't actually touch the surface. It will make your phone somewhat warmer though, but pretty much all cases will probably do this, and it probably won't protect your phone as well as some of the larger cases. The case I use is $2.86 shipped from amazon and fits perfectly. I also have an otterbox but use the TPU case since its smaller, and doesn't collect dust like the otterbox. I know a lot of people like the otterboxes though. The jelly silicone cases are also dust collectors and tend to stretch after a while so I would advise avoiding any of those. If you look through this accessories forum you will see a lot of threads about cases that usually have reviews and pictures, so I suggest you read through some of those threads and find a case that looks good to you and sounds like what you are looking for from the reviews.
I would also suggest getting a screen protector. While the atrix does have gorilla glass, it is not truly unbreakable or unscratchable. While some may argue that its not really necessary, it costs a few dollars and has the potential to protect your phone's screen from scratches.
Great! Btw can you give me the product link you bought from Amazon?
I found this one: http://www.amazon.com/MOTOROLA-ATRI..._1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1321000892&sr=1-3
But it says its a Gel Case (I don't TPU & Gel Cases are the same or not! )
If you need a strong case for a low price (there's better out there but well outside your price range) you can get a refurbished Otterbox Defender for $12 shipped:

Edit: Yes, I bought one from these guys. It's legit.

I don't wanna buy a refurbished one. I want a cheap but new one which will give my phone minimal (better) protection

I just don't feel comfortable buying a refurbished one
Mine's fine. I even broke the holster clip and Otterbox is sending me a new one. My point is that if there's something wrong with it their warranty will cover it. It's a good way to save money and maximize your phone's protection.
Besides otterbox isn't minimal in size! It needs some extra space around the phone which makes it bigger! I don't like it. I like a minimal one yet that would protect my phone. Just like roswellkidd says. TPU cases are good
Bestbuy.com is selling the Otterbox Impact case for $3.75 with free shipping.
I'm not trying to be an Otterbox spokesman, I'm just fishing you some good deals.

Thanks! Maybe I'd buy it now!
The Impact case isn't as strong as the Defender refurb I listed earlier, but this is a lot cheaper and will most definitely save your phone from drops.
Should I go with a TPU case or this case? This still looks bulky! Besides, I think this won't perfectly fit into my pocket!
It depends on what your real need is. The Otterbox cases are for people who expect to drop their phone more often than others. I drop my phone at least once a day on hard surfaces and/or from insane heights (I'm a CATV installer that's clumsy with his phone). For a general user, the TPU case would be fine if you're not expecting to drop it a whole lot. It's also more fashionable, it won't make your phone look like it just Hulked out.
Personally, I'd keep a cheap Otterbox around in any case, you might need it if you're going to do anything daring. At least it wouldn't be a bad idea to have an Otterbox on a phone that may fall out of your pocket on a rollercoaster at Six Flags (happened to me without an Otterbox... I had to bury the phone).

I'm on this group. I take good care of my phone. Besides, I can live without case. Just need it to make it more durable. So I'd go with a TPU case. Thanks for helping me to take my decision. As I'm a teenager style does matter for me

My wife's probably at least twice your age and we still have to stylize her phone so I have to look at aesthetics every time I order a case as well
for your price range, you should just grab the refurbished deals posted.
or save up money and get a real case.
wow sorry I didn't get back earlier, I am actually too new to post links, but if you type in "atrix TPU case" into amazon you will see the TPU cases, that gel case you posted looked like a silicone case not a TPU case. Mine was the "smoke grey cruzer argyle" TPU case that is currently $2.86 with free shipping, although all five or so of the top results look like they are essentially the same, just different colors.
I hope I didn't talk you out of an otterbox in my first post, I personally was not satisfied with mine, but as you can see here most people love them. I also have never dropped my phone, so my case is basically just to protect it from dings and scratches if I ever do drop it. I don't expect it to protect my phone in a ten foot drop, but considering the highest I would ever have the chance of dropping it from in my daily routine is just a few feet, Ill take the slimmer case even if it does have less protection.
I, like many others, put in a vote for a TPU case... I have used the Otterbox Impact case, the rugged battery cover, and the TPU case...and the TPU case is by far may favorite. It offers ok drop protection, but mainly I love it becuase it's easy to get out of my pockets while the Impact or any rubberized case sticks to pockets making it really hard to get out in the car or while sitting in general. I think the atrix is a little too small without a case and the TPU case makes it slightly larger but not too large...it's the way to go.
I'm looking for a s7 case with a reasonable price Any recommendations?
There are too many types of cases, you have to be more specific (silicon, tpu, hard, armor etc).
My perfect case is Ringke Slim, not too bulky, yet offers enough protection for my needs

I have been using the Spigen Thin Fit cases for my last couple of phones. It's very lightweight, provides a non-slip feel, and you can't beat the price: https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Galax...30&sr=8-1&keywords=spigen+lightweight+case+s7
I use a Tech21 Evo Elite. I won't pretend the price is reasonable, but it is genuinely well engineered. My phone has lasted more drops on it's corners than it deserves https://www.tech21.com/en_us/evo-elite-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s7
I'm using spigen tough armor. This is a phone that NEEDS a durable case... it has a glass back that breaks easily.
Only $16-17 on Amazon depending on color
I got this for mine. Quite pleased with it...
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Gala...499800336&sr=8-3&keywords=diztronic+galaxy+s7
I have tons of cases, with no doubt the best by far is the spigen neo hybrid
I've got 3 cases I swap out depending on mood.
Clear Samsung case. Nothing special but I like it.
Spigen wallet case. The gold on. I love it.
Cheap fake leather case with card slots.
I like the clear Samsung the most but the spigen allows me to have my dl and debit card on me without my wallet.
All in all....find a case you like and buy it.
Don't buy cheap or you get a cheap product.

I personaly prefer custom cases, I enjoy designing my own case, however many products from custom case stores are not very good in quality, I rencently found a store called case-custom, I ordered a case and it's good, it has nice color and good grip.
I'm very happy with this Tudia case. It's slim, it looks good, and it provides adequate protection.

Got my leather case and screen protector that I ordered from eBay. The case smells like real leather and has a good fit (would have liked a bit tighter, but it doesn't seem loose). I haven't installed the screen protector as yet, will update when I do.
BTW, the case was $20 and the screen protector was $10. Given the paucity of cases for the RS and the cost of the OEM ones, the case seems a fair buy.

I somehow think anyone buying the Mate RS is going to want to put it in a $20 case, doesn't it come with a leather case anyway?

Yes, it comes with a leather flip cover. But not everyone likes that style of case and it is difficult to find any others, so am offering some options.
And a low price is not always synonymous with a lack of quality - should they have priced it at $200 to make us feel better about buying it?

To be honest it kind of feels that way with the phone itself to me, but I don't have that sort of money to throw at a phone anyway.
Hi all! My first few days after having purchased my OP6T, I hopped on eBay and ordered a bunch of cheap and a couple not-so-cheap cases, mostly from China with slow-as-dirt shipping (why is dirt considered slow? Ever seen a mud slide? They can be pretty quick!) Well, the first case to arrive is this Mofi fabric case and it was one of the not-so-cheap cases (I splurged and spent $12 on this one).
I'm doing a very quick mini review of this case for now and will come back and flush this out with my own photos and all when I have more time when I'm not working. What questions do you have that you want to see answered in a more thorough review?
tl;dr summary
I purchased the "Grayish blue stripe" model because I wanted a low contrast difference from the top and bottom patterns. I very much like the results. This is a very nice case. Cutouts are spot on, buttons are clicky, slider is easily slid, and it feels great in hand! The TPU has a rounded smooth surface on the sides (reminds me of the sides of an Incipio DualPro case - that's why I use "rounded smooth" to describe it). I currently own the OP Nylon case and the minimal Karbon case. I already like this case much more than the Nylon case from OP. It seems to offer similar protection while being a tad less bulky.
The case itself is made of three materials: TPU (sides), hard plastic (back inside), and cloth (back outside). There is no microfiber lining on the inside, which is a little concerning (and my biggest issue with this case).
Pros:
Feels great in hand
Much softer "fabric" feel than the OP Nylon case, which doesn't feel "fabricky" at all
Nice tight fit but easy enough to get on and off
Nice clicky buttons
Not bulky. Much less bulky compared to the OP nylon case
Tight-woven fabric that I don't think will snag as easily as some crappy fabric cases
Definitely doesn't feel like a cheap $2 case - premium enough to justify the cost
Cons:
A little pricey at $12 for an eBay case but really not too bad
Sides aren't also fabric like the Pixel cases
Silver branding is a bit obnoxious (I haven't attempted to remove it as I'm afraid to snag the fabric in doing so)
No microfiber lining on the inside of the case against the glass
This is the listing I purchased from. The seller has a bad review history but it's because of his lack of review history and 1 bad review. When I left my positive review, it bumped him from 50% to 66.7%. That one bad review is b/c the seller misclassified a listing as shipping from the US and not China. Had no problems here since I expected it to ship slow as dirt. I explain all of this mostly because I was unable to find any other sellers for this design & this one looks sketchy as hell. I had no issues on my purchase, so there's at least 1 legit happy customer with him & he's not padding his #s with fake buyers!

Lol, I am that bad review. I specifically was looking for an American shipper so I didn't have to wait for a month to get it. I could have ordered 3 cases for the price of one from Aliexpress and waited the same amount of time. Essentially the dude is just drop shipping from china with a markup.
I love the Mofi cloth cases. They look and feel great. I have ordered one in every color available from aliexpress for other phones for like 5$ each.

Hah! That's pretty funny!
I agree, he's doing that. However, I couldn't find this specific design anywhere else other than this one guy's listing on Ebay. Seems to no longer be available there although I haven't since searched very long & hard. I specifically wanted this design, even if I had to pay a $7 premium for it.
Also, for the record, mine was clearly shipped from China and I knew this going into the purchase. So I think he might have had an honest mistake with the listing you purchased, although that's pure speculation. No trickery with me.
I owed one of this. Even though the case is stylist but it collect dust overtime on the side. I switch back to stock case and ordered bumper case from On plus

Which bumper case did you get? I have the Nylon case and I like this one SOO much more! The Nylon case is just too slippery for a fairly bulky case.

Mofi do quality stuff. Have probably had 30+ cases from them during the past 2-3 years. Highly recommended.

Not bad at all. I picked up a Nintendo DS microfiber pouch from a Diaso here in Japan. Been working great, before that I was using the glasses pouch a pair of Gunner glasses I got came in. It's been helping a lot with minimizing lint and debris
I use mine in the Spigen Thin Fit Case (as it has better camera protection) and it ain't bulky. I then carry it around in a Shocksock Neoprene pouch. It's a nice snug fit.

**Update - SOLD
I've been using a neoprene pouch for my phones ever since I got one included with the Nexus One several years ago. I usually have a protective case on the phone too.
I get them from ebay and they are relatively cheap. I just took a look now and the type I use isn't available for the fold, but there is one with a flap and carabiner. It's what I would buy if I had a fold.

I have mine in the official Samsung leather case, which I then also slide into a Shocksock pouch. That pouch is such a good fit, it's hard to imagine it wasn't manufactured especially for the Fold. The price is right, too.
I got a shock sock from Amazon for mine, made of neoprene, it will provide some drop protection, again mildly inconvenient to use but worth it for the price. Keeps pocket lint away from the device and is splash proof
