Default Help finding a worthy case!!

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.

Default 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.

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
