[Q] What Case and Screen Protector did you get? - Atrix 4G General

I got the OtterBox Black Defender Case - MOTOROLA ATRIX (TM) 4G with the belt clip and built in screen protector. I kind of liked it at first but it keeps jabbing me in the side and I wish I could just put it in my pocket but it's too think to do so while sitting down.
So I'm looking to get another case that will mostly protect my phone from scratches and a few bumps here and there. So this means I need a screen protector too. It's hard to tell how the screen protector feels and how the case fits on the phone.
What have you used or seen that you like and why?

I currently use the anti-glare screen protectors that AT&T carries in store. It takes away a little of the brilliance of the screen but I don't mind. I'm also using the Incipio Feather case but for more protection I also did have the Speck Candyshell which fit it really well and did not impede the screen protector. The only reason I returned it was because the "outer-shell" was too smooth for me, I like the rubberized feel of the Incipio.

I have the OtterBox Commuter case on my Atrix. I really like it. It not nearly as bulky as the defender case but still provides seemingly decent protection.

Do these cases keep it from seating on the laptop dock properly?

Seconding the Otterbox Commuter. The naked Atrix felt kinda slippery, the rubber sleeve peeking through the clip on shell makes it feel secure in my hand.

I've been rocking the otterbox impact case with full ghost armor. Works and feels great

Does the Otter Box cases pick up a lot of lint and other stuff in your pockets?

As far as the laptop dock, I'm not sure but with the multimedia dock I have heard that the Speck case can fit if the insert is taken out. If you use the laptop dock quite a bit I would go with the Otterbox Impact case because it would be the easiest to remove and put back on.

Yes, Otterbox cases are notorious lint magnets. It's a trade off for the protection.

Has anyone heard about "Skinomi TechSkin", "Great Shield", or "splash Masque"?
They are the ones that you can get off of Amazon.com.

I also have the Incipio feather case, works great so far, and is easier for me to hold on to. I work in a warehouse and from handling boxes all the time its hard for me to keep a decent hold on smooth plastic unless I try to crush it.
As far as a screen protector goes, I have not seen a need for one yet. I forgot I had my keys in my pocket when I put the phone in and didn't get any scratches.

Yea, I feel th same way. I usually take such good care of my phones that I never even get scratches on the screen protector but knowing my luck if I ever tried without one something terrible would happen.

Got the Otterbox Defender for mine. I'll happily have a thicker phone for the added protection.

body glove case
Body glove case seems to be the best fit for the atrix...for me, i.e slim, feels sturdy in hand and removes easily to allow fit with other moto accessories.

Just got the Incipio case and it's great so far. I also have a SGP ultra clear screen protector.

This should be in the accessories forum.

I like to use my phones naked!
Even if they get damage.
In fact, I happen to dislike very much how those protectors make the phone larger in the pocket.
If you know of anything for the Atrix which doesn't make it bigger please let me know.
Gold luck guys.

I also have the Otterbox Commuter case and no screen protector since the display is made out of Gorilla Glass.

Not using a screen protector. Just a bodyglove tpu case. Love it.

Using the skinomi body skin .. it's awesome. applying the back part was a little challenging but i got it down.. I failed on my screen though because I did it in low light.. so I didn't notice i still had some lint on the screen so you can see a little when it's bright.

How do you pack it around...

Just in a pocket? In a case? Does it need a screen protector or is it scratch proof? Rumor has it, Telus is getting it in Canada soon, will pick one up, but wondering if I need a case/sleeve/protector, which are best?
I don't use screen protectors. I use a pouch for general protection when in pocket, etc., but I don't believe in screen protectors - phone has to serve me, and not vice versa. Also, the screen seems to be made from either glass or very hard plastic, so it is not an issue, I think. Screen protectors do make phone look and feel crappier.
I just carry it around in my pocket, no screen protector, case etc.
So far after two months, not one scratch. Everything is still in mint condition.
My previous phones (Touch Dual, Samsung i780, Saumng i600) all got scratched very easily. The Hero seems to be a lot more resistant
I put on the htc screen protector after a couple of days and it ruined the sensitivity, so took it off straight away. Had it since day one (Early august) and no scratches.
However, the metal around the edges is rather soft. I've got quite large (cosmetic) dings on both top corners, so I would recommend a case, since the gel ones are pretty sturdy/cheap/nice. However, i'm really not too bothered by them, so I still take it out fairly often
But if your not going to drop it, then no worries
Get a screen protector, get a silicon gel case. Mine resided in my pocket for a week before I got them, one scratch on the left hand side of the screen as a result.
Its common sense unless you have the money to waste buying new phones.

What do you keep in your pocket? I've kept mine on its own since my old nokia 5510 or whatever, this reduces the likelyhood of scratches etc.
I carry a little keychain torch, didnt think there was anything sharp enough on it, apparently I was wrong
Silicon case I would say pretty much essential but I wouldn't bother with any kind of screen protector. The silicon is good also in that it gives you more grip on the device but bad in that if you always have your phone on vibrate it kind of absorbs some of the motion so you don't feel it (or hear it buzzing) so easily.
i have it in a simple microfibre bag in my pocket. the microfibre is nice because everytime i pull it out the screen is cleaned from all that grease and dirt... also i don't have to worry scratching it when it isn't alone in its pocket (which happens occasionally, at work i carry a second phone for example). i wouldn't put my key or anything else with sharp edges in the same pocket though, the pouch is only fabric...
i don't use a screenprotector, didn't get one with the phone on t-mobile germany, and the screen has a way to good haptic to cover it with anything...
running good so far, but it's been only three weeks.
Microfibre bag is interesting, where'd you get it? I like that idea, very light, adds no bulk at all plus the cleaning bonus. And I'm sure it's good at eliminating minor scratches that would come from a coin or something left in pocket. I'd want one very form fitting of course.

can you guys link me to a good silicone case? I installed the invisible shield on mine yesterday.. did not notice any degradation in sensitivity
I despise the body cases and screen protectors. I generally don't keep the devices longer than 6-12 months so they rarely get torn up at all.
I use a simple leather, blackberry case for the hero and used a similar case for my Pre which I was glad to get rid of.

screen protector yes or no

any one with recommendation on screen protector
I'm currently using a Zagg max coverage protector that I had installed at Best Buy, and have no complaints so far. The only thing I've noticed with it is that my finger tends to get stuck when using Swype, but not often enough for it to bother me.
I don't have this phone but I don't think you need a screen protector. I haven't seen any videos on the screen durability test like they do for the iphone scratch test. But I think the screen should be sturdy enough. The screen won't be as smooth to scroll with a plastic layer. And if you accidentally get even a drop of water in the corners of the phone with the squeegee, you are screwed. Good luck.
Using an Invisible Shield on mine. This is the only phone I've ever used one on. I figured with a screen this huge I want to keep it looking nice.
You don't need you it is glass like the Iphone and hero. I have seen test's on both using key to try and scratch nothing happened. Anything that would damage the screen (scratch it) would go right through the screen protector and still damage it. As it would take a lot of force to scratch. Just a wast of money not to mention it hampers the touch screens ability to pick up your finger.
someone apparently water damaged their evo with putting on a protector. Careful. I would cover up the indicator on mine once I get it.
i have a zagg on mine and hate it. its sticky and has a "orange peel" like appearence. i ordered a hard plastic one on amazon and am waiting for it to come in the mail.
I also feel that a screen protector is unecessary...glass is very hard to scratch, and can only be scratched by something harder than it is.
Zaag one here and I think it's too sticky. It messes with my swiping. Catches my finger too much.

I used the same logic with my hero and ended up getting a few scratches just from unforseen sh!t happening. this screen is too beautiful for me to risk.
also whoever water damaged their phone while putting on a screen protector is an idiot.
I put one on for peace of mind and it works just as it did without the protector.
However, if it's like the iPhone screen, then you shouldn't need one at all. I had the same iPhone since the release date and had zero scratches as of Friday... it's last day in service!
We pre-ordered out Evo's at RS so we used out accessory credits for Zaggs and car chargers and I put them on. They do have an orange peel like look when looking at them at a angle with the screen off and reflecting off some light. But with the screen on and looking at them there is no issue with the display. They were not hard to put on either.
I'm using the "anti-glare" protector that comes in the 3-pack you get at the Sprint store for $12 (the other two are "clear"). I love it - it doesn't interfere with my user experience at all. Why on earth would you risk scratching your screen? To save $4 and 5 mins time?
Boxwave Crystal Clear screen protectors. I have a 3-pack on order (I have 2 Evo's between me and my girlfriend). We're using them "naked" so far until they arrive.
I highly recomend the Boxwave protector though, I have used them for about 6+ years on various PDA/Smartphones. I even have one for my P&S Camera.
Here is my experience:
Zagg:
Good -
Works well as protection
Hides fringer prints decently
Bad -
Blurs your screen a very small amount
Makes the surface feel like rubber
Hard to put on without getting a little dust under it
Generic hard plastic sheet:
Good -
Works well as protection
Feels very smooth, smoother than glass
Easy to put on, and normally you get 2 or 3 in case you make a mistake
Perfectly clear
Bad -
Finger print magnet, oil really builds up
You can see where the protector ends around the edges
Added glare in sunlight(small amount)
Unprotected Glass:
Good -
Feels very smooth
Easy to clean off, just rub it off on your shirt
Perfectly clear
Bad -
Medium finger print problem, but easy to clean
I feel scared to place it face down, once I get a case that recesses the face I will feel better.
Over all I decided to go with unprotected. Its the middle of the road and I feel the best over all experience.
Zagg Invisible Shield is NO GOOD.. Its almost sticky. Don't get it! I warned ya.

Agreed, the Zagg is sticky. But I deal with it so that I can protect it. I don't have a huge issue with viewing it or the orange peel look when it's off because you don't notice it when it's on. The fit is nice. On my hero, I had a really clear smooth one from ebay which was great, but was all scratched up. The zagg shouldn't even mark up which is why i'm dealing with it. Sticky, but not to the point that it pisses me off. I put it on myself relatively easily, just spray lots of that solution on it, no bubbles, no dust, 2 minute application.
Maybe the Zagg is sticky if you put it on backwards but I have ZERO complaints about mine.
I ordered a 3 pack of anti-glare/anti-fingerprint screen covers from handhelditems for 7.99 (for the 3pack). They have crazy deals on evo 4g accessories right now. I also got a car charger for like 3.99.
I bought it more for the anti-glare/anti-fingerprints than the actual screen protection.
Warning!
There is a whole thread started on water damage and most of this comes from any screen protector that requires you to spray on water... ei Zaggs
When you squeegiie the water off the screen it leaks in to the back of the phone and Sprint has been sneaky about placing water damage indicator right on the tip of the phone.. below battery.
Either cover the indicator with protector or stick to the regular screen covers..

Skinomi Screen Protector and Dock?

I just got my dock and I noticed that there is very little space between the dock "slots" and the screen. If I install a screen protector (I already ordered one from Skinomi) do you think it will be too thick to use the dock? I am afraid the dock slots will push against the screen protector and smudge it or worse rip it.

I have the screen protector and the back skin.
Trust me, they will fit. It really isn't thick at all.
But, do be careful when you are installing them on the device. Use a lot of that water spray they give you. I think I saw a suggestion to dip the screen in a bath of water first. I used too little and had to redo it because the bubbles stayed. Now, the outer edge from where I re-peeled the protected doesn't stick to the device. It isn't too big to annoy me but it definitely doesn't look nice.
Because the screen is bigger on a tablet than on a phone, the application is just more frustrating to put on.
Oh, and just note that your screen will look like crap. It'll take a day or two to kick in.

I have one installed on my transformer. A few things about it.
1.) It does fit, makes sure to get the up part up. Look for the two holes for the camera. I screwed mine up and placed it on wrong, still works.
2.) The screen protector works very well with the dock, with out ripping or tearing. If you hold the tablet, you will see the edge of the screen is thinner then the area where the dock fully ends. This creates a impression in the screen protector where it is too snug. I have not notice any problems with it fitting in the dock, but it is snug enough to leave an impression.
3.) The quality of the shield is not up the same as bodyguardz or invisible shield. It has a tendency to dent and cut up pretty easy. Not insanely, but there is a difference between it and my phone, bodyguardz.
4.) The protector is very shiny and smooth. Which means you don't get the orange peel effect of the other protectors, but does not help viewing in sunlight.
5.) You need to makes sure you use ALL of the solution provided. It takes a lot more water and baby shampoo then the other protectors. Probably bigger screen and bigger protector, but I swear the sticky side is more sticky then the other protectors.
All and all I like the protector a lot. Even though it has a tendency to dent an damage easier then I would expect, I also will not abuse my tablet as much as my phone. I would buy it again, for the lifetime free replacements and price.
But in saying that for the same price and if they made them, bodyguardz and invisible shield are better, ie more durable, protectors.
I would give it an easy 8 out 10 points.

Well, the lifetime warrenty is a bit dubious since you have to return the old protector to prove that it was damaged through use and not through poor application. I think you also have to pay to shipping. It seems that it'll cost the same a buying a new protector. Plus if your screen did mess up, I'm not sure why I would want a replacement of the same item.
It's not as good as my phone's protector (forgot the company) but it's still decent. I definitely feel more at ease with the protector on.
I don't see how tearing through use (docking) wouldn't be covered.

actually, not true. i got some kind of film on my screen protector the first time i tried to install it. i took a picture of the protector and they sent me a new one in 3 days.
the funny thing is, my original order included BOTH a screen protector AND a carbon fiber skin. when i got my replacement in the mail there was a protector AND another skin! I think it was an oversight on their behalf. they just looked at my original order and replicated it.
so for the price of 1 screen protector and 1 skin i got 2 screen protectors (1 that i admittedly messed up) and 2 skins.
i should consider myself lucky (and skinomi a quality company).

Well, I guess that's good.
Did you still need to ship them back your old protector?
I guess they're more friendly in reality than their rules online. At any rate, I don't think I want to go through the hassle of reapplying it again anyway. (plus waiting for it to clear)

nope, i threw it away.
oh and another thing, all of our contact was via email. didn't even have to talk to a 'live' person.
I just received my Skinomi screen protector & didn't realized the installation was that involved. I guess I am just used to the screen protectors I have used with my PDA's & phones that just stuck to the screen on their own. Anyway I don't want to screw this up.
What is the purpose of the solution?
Is it an adhesive?
Does it aid in the installation in being to move the screen protect around to adjust its placement?

I REALLY love how the N4 looks without anything on, so sleek and sexy, but as we all know that back glass panel will break eventually with no case :crying: SO my question is this, what are your guys suggestions on protection without hindering the awesome design. I was thinking bumber case but idk, what do you guys think?
I love showing off the beauty of the N4 so I use a bumper and make sure I'm very careful with it :]

Screen protector in front and a crystal clear case behind.
Ive done the same for my past 2 phones and have never had an issue. The only problem I can see is when sticking the nexus in my pocket as its loose in the pocket untill I sit down then it obviously tightens up. so any coins or what not in there will press nicely against the glass.
When the glasses are readily available and cheap enough I ditch the shocksock but for now it stays.
I use:;
BestSkinsEver front and back protector
Diztronic hard case
Shocksock pouch.
The pouch is perfect for going out and about and will absorb some impact as its like the neoprene laptop sleeves.
Gorilla Glass 2 I believe is decent against scratches. At least v1 on my HTC Incredible S was good so I'm hoping v2 is decent too. Still have the stock scratch guards on the front and back. See no reason to remove them. The one on the back has a lip which was coming out because of my finger so I cut off a small portion. Scratches should be taken care of.
For drops, I ordered a soft gel case off Amazon but I couldn't get it due to delivery issues and friend returned to India. Got a refund but am looking at an Amzer case in a few days. I want the bumper people are raving about on xda.. Will ask my UK friend to pick one up soon.
Other than that, super careful with the phone because it is hot.

A best skins ever for the front and back, and an official bumper for the sides is the best you can do.
Currently naked but I haven't taken it out of the house yet. I'll probably end up leaving it naked and just taking extra care of it.
When I think about how often my Galaxy 2 hit the floor, I shudder. Amazingly, for the amount of times it fell it was in an amazing condition - slightly bruised corners but apart from that just perfect. What I did notice, though, was that when it fell the back case popped off, so I imagine the shock it received upon contact had less of an impact than it would otherwise have had, had the back been unmovable - as is the case with the Nexus.
I started with a front and back Zagg invisible shield but opted to add a ringke slim to make the thing less likely to slip out of my hand.

my White Ringke Slim does just the opposite. It feels like it can just slide out of my hand. I think the phone in its naked form has better grip than with the ringke slim case because of the "rubber" feeling around it
My nexus 4 has been naked for a month now and it feels and looks so great. In some ways I have been thinking about using a case after the inevitable dings and scratches. I guess resale condition makes wrapping up a new phone a necessity but it seems like kind of a shame. I may just do things opposite this time and wrap up after u have enjoyed my naked phone for a while. I do have a case on the way for travel and other times when protection seems obvious.
Anyone else think this way or am I crazy?

Naked so far with no problems.
Just reserve one pocket for the Nexus exclusively to avoid coins or keys scratching the glass.
However, given the anemic ring volume the speaker produces, I'm missing calls, so I'll probably have to switch to a holster once a decent one becomes available.

Anyone find a good screen protector film or glass?

Can't find any ones that I like so far. I know the edge makes things difficult but all the glass one I've seen don't have adhesive all over just along the edge and the film one i bought doesn't stay down on the edge so has anyone found a good one or decent one?
Please specify it's full coverage...glass or film...works with case and of so what case

I try using the screen protector that came with the ghostek case I bought install it cover the entire front area of phone plus edges let set for about an hour try to put case on but everytime I did it would lift off the sides of the screen protector so I just took off the screen protector till I find that works. Also try the supershieldz ones same thing.
This is the one I am going to get https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G7LQZW...TF8&colid=38DVAL1VV0RQM&coliid=I2N75A0MPNERT6

I was thinking about that one but im not sure about the wet install. I'm good at putting screen protectors on but I've never did a wet install before...i May have to check it out
If you have some time and patience go for the Invisible Shield hd dry full body coverage. I originally ordered a Naked skin from slickwraps but its been processing since the 18th. So when my N7 arrived today I went on the search around town and ended up in a Verizon store. They kindly put it on for me, took two tries lol. Mid-install the Verizon guy just rips it and balls it up and went to grab another. When I got home I went through the packaging and noticed he skimmed me on the install. and didn't install the back.. I tell you what that was the worst torture in my life but hey pics below! Came out beautiful. +extra dbrand lens laying around conveniently . :good: winning
I put on a IQ shield matte. I like the matte finish but it is not for everyone. There is some lost clarity but much less glare and no fingerprints. I like the wet install for no bubbles and being easy. It takes some time to let the edges dry so they will stick. Let it sit at least overnight before using or putting on a case.
My case (Spigen Ultra Hybrid)did cause the corners to lift, a common problem with cases. IQ Shield has since come out with a "case friendly" updated version that is getting good reviews. I've got one on its way.

I ended up buying the skinomi matte screen protector which stuck on the edges perfect. Went without a case for a week and then put the spigen neo hybrid on which is my favorite case of all time and it peeled the corners still. I warmed the screen protector and was able to reform the corners a bit and it helped but i still want a problem free combination
This is the case and glass screen protector that I use. The setup is perfect for me. You could use any screen protector with this case. It also holds the glass ones down and keep them in place.

Without clicking the link I'm gonna guess that's the unicorn beetle case. I have that myself and love it. I use the holster while at work
Great case. It works well with a glass screen protector.
I have an armorsuit on this phone, as well as several tablets and phones prior. Was originally skeptical of the curved edge, but it is working great so far. In the past 6 years armorsuits and common sense have kept me from having any cracked screens. And when I upgrade and sell the old phones, removing the armorsuit has always left a perfect as-new screen (but the housings usually have suffered damage from drops, etc.).

Is your tempered glass screen protector any good? How is the clarity? Sensitivity?
The clarity and sensitivity is great. I have one on my phone and my fiances phone. This is the third one we bought and its pretty close to the flat ones. Just line it up because the cut outs are exact. No room for error.
