Three phone calls and I'm still waiting. The first time I called the guy with Motorola wouldn't allow me to order it since I hadn't actually received the ruggedized cover yet. I mistakenly told him that I was trying to order the plate the same day that I ordered the cover hoping that when I received the cover I would have the face plate as well.

The second phone call I thought everything was going good - until I opened the package today and they sent a new standard battery cover.

So I called back again today and I think that they are going to finally send me the correct part and they are going to FedEx overnight the part to me. So I guess I'll finally find out tomorrow if it worked this time or not. Hopefully third time will be the charm.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jonstatt:
I believe you should get an email from Motorola when the part ships to you, and in that email it should clearly state the right part number SJYN0722A . What did it say in the first email they sent you?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] whgrell:
It had the wrong part number, but by the time I saw the e-mail it had already shipped so it was too late really do much about it. The correct part arrived today and I'm happy. I've now got an extra battery cover without any scratches, etc for when it is time to trade up.

The most views in Atrix accessories

Fellow ruggedized battery cover enthusiasts. I just noticed that this thread has the most views in the XDA Atrix accessories category. Thanks to everyone for making this such a fun thread to participate in.

Maybe Mr. Clown can make this thread sticky.

My stock battery door creaks/squeeks. Does the rugged case work better?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
No squeaking over here. LOL!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Rayan:
No squeaks here either.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
Mine does occasionally make a growling noise... Not sure if it's the awesome phone or the awsome ruggedized battery cover. :P
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jonstatt:
I bought 4 of the green ones. The texture of 2 of them is very slightly different to the other 2 suggesting more than one batch run here. None of them are like the description of the blue furry leaf ones though.

I have no doubt they are the genuine part though, especially with the Motorola sticker on the inside of the back, explaining how to put it on and off. If it was a copy/clone that would definitely not have the sticker.

Talking of stickers though..I also bought a replacement "normal" battery cover. That one has no stickers on the inside or the back like the original, so I am wondering if that is the real deal or not though...
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
You probably have the largest concentration of the ruggedized battery covers in the whole of the country!!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jonstatt:
Haha...well 2 of them are for someone else....but you are probably right. I wonder if cnn.cn have actually sold any pink ones!

Personally I would have preferred blue if it wasn't for all the reports of them being like furry leaves!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
Mine is blue (hint of purple) and it's just fine. A friend bought blue and green and I have to say there is little difference. The green seems to jump out more in a POW sort of way. The pink screams chick but from what I can tell l, there isn't a single chick on th planet that owns an Atrix!!!! If there is one, I'll find her

;)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] pukemon:
there are chicks that own atrix.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Semseddin:
Got the green one yesterday ! Great gripping and no squeking. This product is also great for those who accidently ruined the speaker grill thinking of it was the power button. I will buy the other available colors and change them to suit my daily clothing :D
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
Hooray! Another happy customer. :D

Good point. I forgot about that annoyance on the standard battery cover.

No comment Semseddin. :eek:

BTW Did you notice that the original post has been updated to save all of the future sorry soles from having to read all 1,000,000 pages of this thread.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
I am shocked, amazed and impressed. I heard rumors of women owning Atrix ... talk of "my girl-friend's Atrix..." This almost deserves to be a new thread!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] narta:
Is there anyway for us folks that live outside the US to get the replacement Multimedia dock plate? I dont want to switch to the ****ty stock back cover and I just got the dock.

Anyone that can help me shoot me a pm :)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] joshyy_rey:
i want one of these....too bad amazon doesnt sell them i have credit there lol
[Atrix 4G Accessories] slowpc:
Been thinking of ordering up one of these things... Anyone not like their case and want to give it a new home? ;)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
Uhhh... $10 or whatever they cost and you can have one from cnn.cn
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jonstatt:
I got hold of a blue (purple) one. The silicone feels exactly the same as the green one I have. I can't tell any difference except the little dots on the back are not quite as raised as on the green ones, but even that is so slight.

So I don't know if there are different batches of these, but no furry leaf for me. And I prefer the blue/purple ones.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] derechbennoach:
I just opened one I ordered 1 week ago from cnn.cn $12.95 pus $5 shipping.

Fits like a glove Fits the car dock and standard dock.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
Dropped my Atrix from 9 feet yesterday. Landed 6 inches from edge of the driveway on the grass. Phone doesn't have any damage. Thankful ruggedized battery cover!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] filthyfnj24:
I ordered a green one from cnn.cn and honestly I don't really like it. I love the way it feels in the hand but absolutely hate the lip or "bezel" it adds. I understand its reason for beaning but I find it obtrusive when using the phone, and I don't like the added bulk, though it's not much Those are just my nit picks but again I'm very ocd/anal about my phones. I'm back to stock battery cover and invisible shield screen protector. I'll hang on to the ruggadized one if I ever take my phone hiking or something lol.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Andrew149:
Just ordered a blue one from cnn.cn paid 17.99 anyways this is my 3rd case i was on the speck case which is garage the edged get all messed up and dirty scratches very easy also had the rearth case which all the rubber starts to peal off and the blue start wearing out im not too happy about that..
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jimmer411:
Your gonna hate this case then.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Andrew149:
Oh boy what does this one do?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Alcapone263:
apparently it's alright if you need it for a dock, but the edges of the rubber that wrap around your screen is kinda loose fitting, and the rubber bridge above the ports (where it's not connected to anything, just a line of rubber) is kinda rubber-bandy, and feels easy to break.

comes off really easy too.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Rayan:
Actually that bridge part is the achilles heel of the case. Mine broke off with a few weeks of normal use. It boke off while taking my Atrix out of a jacket pocket, something that shouldn't happen in my opinion.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Andrew149:
god should of just bought a otterbox i knew it
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Surge1:
I have an otterbox defender as well as a green rugged battery door which i got for dock use purposes. I wear relatively tight jeans if I do say so myself and am constantly taking it in and out of my pocket and have had no issues with any kind of stretching or breaking. yes the case is loose around the edges but its not THAT loose. basically if you wedge something in there or pick at it with fingernails itll lift up, but just using the phone and doing the normal things with it, you honestly wont even notice unless your obsessive about those kinds of things. all in all for 15ish dollars i am highly pleased with this case.

also got one of those 2 dollar mesh ones in white cus I like to switch my style up on occasion xD.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] lauterm:
I've been using my green rugged for almost three months now, and it's held up fine so far.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] filthyfnj24:
I don't use my green one anymore. Coming from an iphone 4 (glass front and back...SERIOUSLY?) I figured the Atrix could be carried naked. I decided to use the right side of my brain and ordered a spare oem battery cover on ebay from China for around 9 bucks. I used sandpaper and sanded it down (intentionally not making it perfectly smooth) then spray painted it black. The grip is much better than the original glossy back and awesome if you like the whole "stealth" look. I have the old original just in case though :)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] SolidHelix:
Otterbox commuter is nice, not too too bulky. Just right for most times. And believe me, your phone will be safe in it. And the lip around the screen is bearable. For me anyway. It fits my car dock. But I don't have the motorola dock
[Atrix 4G Accessories] sagerox:
Which dock do you have? Is it just a charger our does it also have aux?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Rred:
Another vote for the Otterbox. Commuter I think, I have their middle model. The plastic hard shell makes a good grip and doesn't pick up any pocket lint, neither does the rubbery part. The plugs on the ports have worked well, and the screen protector is pretty much invisible, installed easily, no water needed.

Yes, I dropped the phone on a concrete floor and it made a gentle "clunk" instead of smashing to bits. There may be something better but this is one nicely made product, outstanding fit and often on sale <$20 including US shipping.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Rayan:
Just a sample of the flimsy plastic bridge on the ruggerized battery cover.

Only if it had some reinforcement from behind, it would probably last longer.

Too bad because I think it offered good margin of protection without bulk.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] amenditman:
I've had mine for about 3 weeks. At first it was a nice compromise of protection and slim/fit in docks function.

Now, it is loose and stretched out. The part that goes around the usb/hdmi ports is gone.

Total piece of crap.

Motorola you can do a lot better.

Back to my Seidio Surface, it fits the lapdock and is easily removed for car dock.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Alcapone263:
motorola discontinued the product before it hit the shelves, cnn is selling the ones that were produced but not shipped.

still, i hope that a new version hits the market soon, i'd really like a case like this =\
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Rayan:
Makes

That makes sense...

I hope to see an improved version too!

Cheers
[Atrix 4G Accessories] vin791:
you know theres an infinite number of different silicones right?

also, i never understood why otterbox switched the silicone to the outside. how asinine
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Ciloteille:
Remember kids, GlobalDirectParts.com does "bulk" orders. So if you wanted new backplate expect to buy 2 of them. Include the second one as a chew toy for your pet.

I wanted to get a backplate for my defy, and atrix, but they say minimum purchase for 2.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] OSNPA:
I found a store through Amazon 'hard2find' that claimed to have the 89490N (blue) in stock for $20.79 shipped on Monday the 11th. I ordered, and noticed they quoted 3 days of additional handling time. 3 days plus later, says it's shipping soon. Perhaps they expected to have them around the 15th. They weren't up on the 10th, and they were gone later in the day on the 11th. Amazon now lists them as out of stock available with amazon prime, seems to be fulfilled by Amazon rather than affiliate.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] OSNPA:
UPDATE: order was placed with Amazon on the 11th, shipping date was given as 13th-14th, delivery date was given as 18th-21st. I emailed the vendor last night, the 14th, to inquire about shipping status. I received a response that it would be shipped on the 19th, and was asked if that is acceptable? I told them I didn't care when it was shipped, I cared when it was delivered, so please expedite shipping. I kindly pointed out that I was guessing a lot of stores would have these available next week, and I was reluctant to pre-order, but they were showing them as in stock. In other words, I realize you said you had them in stock when you really didn't, hook me up. I guess the point is, they are coming very soon.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] GoodFoot:
I don't see this item in the hard2find merchant store on Amazon. The only listing for 89490N I see on Amazon says "usually ships in 1 to 2 months". Can you point to the URL of the product listing you ordered?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] OSNPA:
Like I said, the listing for 'hard2find' was only up for a short period on April 11th. Now that link - product # B004TGIJSG- takes me to the amazon prime listing. I don't have enough posts to put up a link, but this is from my orders list:

[Atrix 4G Accessories] gerbick:
I ordered via hard2find as well when it was available on Amazon (no longer the case from that vendor)... no date on the shipping yet either. Thanks for the updates OSNPA. I'll be doing the same - inquiring for updates and/or expedited shipping.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] theonedub:
If someone gets this case and doesn't need the dock adapter its supposed to come with, I would like to buy it from you.

Sent from my Atrix
[Atrix 4G Accessories] GoodFoot:
I just pre-ordered one from MobileCityOnline.com. The site says expected arrival date of April 18 (which presumably means arrival at their warehouse). However, I'm skeptical any place in the US will have them that soon. Motorola's own web site doesn't even list these rugged doors yet.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] OSNPA:
I agree, I am a little surprised Moto isn't advertising the crap out of a case that works with the docks, since they pimp the docks hard. Amazon shows the case as 'usually ships in 1 to 2 months.'
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
mobile city online now shows release day as the 21st, originally said 18, I don't understand why this case wasn't released same time as the phone.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] samarth1:
Shipped today

Mine has just shipped today from Red Tag Cellular. I ordered the blue one, came out to $22.78 with shipping, USPS first class mail with delivery confirmation. There's only one choice of shipping you can choose when you checkout, FYI.

Status Update (4/20): Bad news folks. Red Tag Cellular apparently had some ongoing problems with its PayPal payment system and has cancelled my order and refunded the amount. My search for the case continues...
[Atrix 4G Accessories] mrinternet:
ATRIX - Hey folks (and folketes ??) I am trying to buy a rubberized battery cover for mine, delivery to me here in Australia (yeah yeah g'day) :-) . No luck so far no one ships here. Anyone ordered outside my old homeland of the U S A?? I am in no hurry ... delivery tomorrow is fine ;-)

PS I note some folks refer to the Atrix as the Atrix and others the MB860 (the actual model of course)... is there a reason ... #justAsking

regards,

@mr_mrinternet - follow me if you dare
[Atrix 4G Accessories] OSNPA:
UPDATE: Store 'hard2find' emailed me over the weekend telling me their shipments from Motorola were delayed and they don't yet know when they will be in, they would update me Monday. They did not. I informed them that they lied about 'in stock' availability and am cancelling order through amazon. Card hasn't been charged yet because the store didn't send Amazon shipping information yet.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] lsxrx7:
please take pics of the actually item and post them here
[Atrix 4G Accessories] madquack:
So did anyone actually receive their battery cover yet?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] noxlord:
There is a lot of people waiting for their order and probably just as much people waiting for reviews and pics before they buy one. :D
[Atrix 4G Accessories] madquack:
You can say that again! I have tried so many cases, most of them being to large (otterbox impact/commuter/defender), body glove is too shiny, I want something like the body glove but not shiny. And with better grip, a rubberized battery cover would be perfect!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] _Dennis_:
Update on aftermarketcellular. So far no communication from them on shipping date or delays or anything. I just wanted to post that I think I was screwed.

On a good note I opened a dispute with paypal against aftermarketcellular. I hope I either get my money back or I get my cover.

Moral of the story, stay away from these guys I guess.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
I pre-orderd a few weeks ago from http://www.theaccessoryking.com/motorola-phone/motorola-atrix-accessories.html . It say available 4/20 for the green one. That's what I ordered. I used PayPal so I'm not worried about the $21.

These should have been ready when the MUCH more expensive docks were......
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
Mine isn't stretched out. Maybe it's because I don't play with it. It's been months and still holding up great.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] digital.aaron:
Mine had been working fine, but today i took the case off because I wanted to do a battery pull and reinsert while still connected to the AC charger. I loosely fitted the case back on the phone, with the usb cable on the "outside". I must have pushed a little hard because the thin strap of rubbery plastic near the usb port opening has now split, and is about to fully rip. :(

I may order another one, assuming there is still stock left.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] bleuiko:
Are there anyone who has gotten rid of the rugged case and still have the standard dock plate? I have a hard time getting Motorola to send me one so I would really appreciate it if someone can spare one.

I'm assuming there is also one for the lapdock? Or is removing the plate all that is needed?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] amenditman:
I just removed the plates the factory installed and the ruggedized case fit just fine.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] digital.aaron:
So I ordered another blue case from cnn. As I mentioned before, my current case has a split near the usb port, and I wanted to have a backup for when the case finally breaks completely.

Anyway I received it today, and the first thing I noticed is that the new one feels quite different than the old one. The old one has more "texture". The new one is very smooth. The flexibility seems about the same. However, the new one looks more like a knockoff, as it's missing the speaker grill and the Motorola sticker on the inside.

Im wondering if the Chinese factory continued to produce their own version after Moto pulled the plug...
[Atrix 4G Accessories] besh007:
I received mine couple days ago and it had the moto sticker and speaker grill, seems like they sent you a defected one.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Rred:
"a defected one"

CNN Newsflash: "Counterfeit Motorola Phone Cover Defects from Communist China, Ships Self to US Phone Owner Seeking Asylum!"

If Moto says they don't make them and some guy in a factory in a region known for counterfeits say "No, genuine! No, genuine!" for two bucks who you gonna believe? <G>

What color sticker do you want with that? Wait, I'll have some printed up for you as soon as they finish the Nike labels. Did you want black and white, or something prettier in a hologram?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] xangma:
I got sent that new one too. Exactly how he described it with no speaker grill .... hmmm works the same though.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
39 pages... Amazing! I could not use this phone without the rugged cover.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Toona:
I ordered this cover back in July, anticipating my phone upgrade to an Atrix this month... bought the Atrix today, but was horrified that the cover didn't fit, forgetting completely that it was a battery cover! It's perfect, now wonder if I should get a spare. Great find and thanks!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] :
Got mine the other day...it's ok, a little loose on the sides so I went back to the commuter case.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] King_MSD:
I recently purchased a blue one a pink one and the normal cover (in case i want to return the phone) and only 1 out of my 3 has a speaker grill. But i expected these cases to be more rugged lol as they are smooth just a different material is used but overall i like the battery cover and makes the phone more usuable imo.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] karnovaran:
Just got the blue one. All I wanted was some grippy-ness without a bulky case and so far it's doing the trick. The sides have potential to wear out, but I like it enough to order a few more and just deal with the attrition.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] rickwood:
Just got mine yesterday. It took 30 days from the time of order to finally receive it. That's a long time! But I really like it -- fits great in the cardock too.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] facetubespam:
I know people like the green more than the blue due to the material feel in the back, but what about the pink one?

is this better than the REARTH Ringke one?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
I hope this post is from a woman! :-D
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ccrows:
I skipped the pink one just because I'm not a fan of the color, but the green and the blue work just fine... :)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] rockmonkey1973:
hi.

just picked thgis phone up. traded it for my defy. quite strange really that the defy has by a country mile the better build quality. i have the tmobile version in the uk and the back battery cover is a horrible glossy plastic thing that slips and slides about everywhere. bit of a shock really as i have for the last few years owned a phone that has a rubber type casing ie the desire blade and defy. so i really want to replace it with a rubber backed battery cover. i dont want a case i want only a rubber battery cover and from what i have seen this is perfect.

heres the problem. for the life of me and i have searched high and low... i cant find it in stock anywhere in the world. i am located in london but am willing to order it from any place but i cant find any stock. the only seller i found on ebay wouldnt ship to the uk for some mad reason and the place i found in the internet wanted me to register before it would display the price needless to say i passed.

so can anyone point me in the direction of a store that has stock? or failing that anyone got one they want to sell?

please help me out if you can cos if i cant find one then the phone is gonna have to go i really find it that bad. if i can get one then i reckon this phone for the time being will be a keeper cos apart from that its all good (or will be once i have roioted it unlocked the bootloader and stuck on cm7).

cheers
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
The only place to buy this item is here:

http://cnn.cn/shop/motorola-atrix-mb860-c-22_1230.html

Great seller, who is located in China. Been buying from them for years. Check out the earlier posts for additional feedback on them.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] rockmonkey1973:
hi thanks i have seen that store but i dont see the rubber battery cover. in stead they have a rubber case. i dont think that is the same as the rubber battery cover is it?

http://cnn.cn/shop/motorola-mb860-atrix-blue-silicone-case-p-11666.html

Motorola MB860 Atrix 4G OEM Blue silicone case

edit: my bad ok sorry have read a bit more of the thread now. quick question though does it come with the speaker grill or do i need to buy it separately?

hmm having read nearly all this thread this cover doesnt seem to be the fabled holy grail i was seeking. oh well back to the shop to trade the shiny pile of stinking pony for a good ol rugged solid defy. weird how one company can make two phones that are so poles apart in terms of the build quality. guess thats motorola for you. oh well live and learn.
