Has anyone had the good fortune of finding either a soft-touch metal battery door (like the one on the Droid 2) or a brushed metal battery door for the Atrix?

Probably wont find one because the way the battery cover is designed. It needs to be flexible to pull off. You risk bending the metal and borking your cover.

I voided my warranty and your mum.

hahaha.... "borking" aside, not only would you have to worry about potentially bending the metal on a metal battery cover, you'd also have to worry about breaking the small impressions in the bulk of the phone where the battery cover attaches itself. Unless it was a mostly plastic battery door with a metal insert... which could be neat... but dunno.

and plastic is better for phone reception anyways. metal phones are harder to design with metal casings. antenna should be in the top of phone and manufacturers do that a lot less these days.

It isn't actually metal, but this 2-pc case looks almost like mesh metal on the outside piece. I just got it, in white under with dark gray outside, and love it! uploadfromtaptalk1315231100527.jpg
