My refund for the original parts order has already happened. MySeidio case will be delivered tomorrow. It will be on my phone in seconds, will post pictures if I can. We'll see if "cnn" can deliver the M case. If the Seidio case is close to fitting the M car dock, I MIGHT break out the sandpaper (for the dock)......
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
Do you have both inserts for the car dock? The standard desktop charging dock references the thinner insert also for use with the Moto "ruggedized" case.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] gerbick:
Well hard2find canceled my order via Amazon. I knew about cnn.cn - have order parts from there in the past without incident.

Might follow through with a PayPal order. Just cannot believe that these have not come out yet.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
20% off for orders done using your phone! LOL.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
My car dock came with one REALLY thin insert. I bought at my local AT&T store. I tried my cheap TPU case, but NO WAY. The Seidio will be much thinner so there's a chance. I read somewhere (here maybe) that it won't fit either. Are you sure there are two inserts for this dock?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
I just checked and I made a minor error. The insert is for the standard battery cover and you are supposed to 'remove' it when using a 'protective case'. Note the difference in terminology with the car dock.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
Yeah, a thicker insert would have made a nice difference. My windshield is a little out of reach though. I had a Seidio case for my Nexus one, best case I've ever had. It will be a tossup, but only if the M case actually arrives. Hopefully it's not too "silicony".

I though of using tape (to shield the cutouts and display) and "Plasti-dip" to make my own "ruggedized battery door" out of the existing door. I think tey're doing similar with silicon....
[Atrix 4G Accessories] bleuiko:
My standard dock didn't come with an extra insert. Is that the case with everyone else? Does that mean I'll have to buy another insert as well as the rugged case? On the diagram it says that both are "optionally available".
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:

The above states sjyn0722a should have shipped with the dock but another discussion here shows that others have not received it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=969060&page=3

I have had many discussions with Motorola support about this to no avail.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
anyone know if the cnn.cn cases come with the dock adapter
[Atrix 4G Accessories] noxlord:
Oh yeah, Cancelled my Amazon order and got the battery door from cnn.cn for 14.34$US.

I can't wait till someone post pictures of his phone with the cover.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
I was going to do the same thing but cnn.cn just might ship the case alone in a bubble mailer with no box and no dock adapter which I need.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
Are we talkng about a dock adapter for the car dock? If so, it's not needed.

I ordered a Seidio case from Amazon on Friday, got it today. Great looking, fitting, and very functional. As mentioned, if the M case doesn't show up/don't like it, will either make a car dock (for the Seidio) or take sandpaper to the M dock.

I'm also waiting for the M case from CNN....
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
i was talking about dock adapter for multimedia dock and standard dock
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
My CNN order is "Prepared". I sense the possibilty of another "story".....
[Atrix 4G Accessories] noxlord:
According to the callendar, the store have been closed for the last 4 days. Since they are 12 hours ahead of eastern time, it's about 0600hrs right now. I hope they fulfill my order today but there might be a lot of catching up to do after the long weekend !!!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
I'm keeping my order, but will be making a car dock to fit their Seidio case I bought on Friday and got today. I think my order will be "prepared" for a while.

Are you guys ready to play the waiting game yet again?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
Mine says Processing. I have written to Dennis at cnn.cn to verify the stock status and will post his response. I've told him there are MANY of you seeking to place orders.

Regarding the fit with the other stock products, I called Moto support on 800-734-5870 today for the third time and they have finally agreed to ship me two of the missing parts for the standard (or HD) dock "SJYN0722A - 2 Shot Battery Door Fit Plate"... but wait... they will ship it when they can find it in their system!!! Bummer!! One very calm hour on the phone. Can you tell I'm trying to score some kudos here!! The woman assured me that she would call me personally when she has it finalized. Hey, I got a reference number out of it. :cool: (not quite the same as a phone number though!)

Here's what to do if you'd like to do the same. Very politely ask them to pull up a web browser and walk the person through the web site as follows:

1) go to motorola.com

2) click the Support link at the bottom of the page

3) click Mobile Phones

4) click 'All FAQs'

5a) Select Your Product = Cell Phones

5b) Select Android Series

6) "Enter Keywords" = atrix part numbers

7) Select 'ATRIX - Standard Dock and HD Dock Part Numbers' from the search results.

Walk them through reading this page and point out the missing part number that is clearly stated as being included. Tell them that other customers are reporting Motorola's acknowledgment of the missing item and shipping to customers at no additional charge. You will be asked to provide your order number from whichever company you purchased originally, along with your shipping address. I think they ask for the order number in order to complete whatever form they have.

Here's a link that describes how to use the missing part. Woo hoo!

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/60677/kw/atrix%20ruggedized%20cover/p/30%2C6720

As an FYI on the car dock insert, the second link down on the search results (step 7) has a great picture of the car dock (or 'vehicle dock') shown below with 'SJYN0691A - Cradle Insert'. It also states for use with optional case, however, I think they have it backwards, as you would 'remove' it in order to use an optional phone case.

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/66329/kw/atrix%20instgin%20standard%20dock/p/30%2C6720

Ok, so this is still all talk!! Let's see who can be the first to post pictures, and prove their success in this fierce and wonderful search for little pieces of engineered plastic!!!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
Just got CNN email saying my order has shipped. USPS tracking info. not available yet, but that can happen.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
I just contacted cnn.cn who told me they will not include dock adapter, I will keep my amazon order since that does come with it.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
You know this how? Just curious.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
I live chatted the rep, they are shipping case only no retail packaging
[Atrix 4G Accessories] knightsbridge:
Well, for about$ 11, what could you expect? :)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
this might be a dealbreaker for some, it was for me.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
How do you know that your case from Amazon ships with the insert/dock adapter for the standard dock? I'd be surprised if it did.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
Mine was accepted in HK for shipping, so something is definately on it's way to me......
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
Anticipation is building! Do I get a royalty for finding the supplier? ;)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] GoodFoot:
The description on the Amazon web site says: "Motorola retail packaging includes- One rugged battery door with blue accent pattern, Adapter plate compatible with Motorola ATRIX Standard and HD Multimedia docks"
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
Pictures with Atrix

Some good images on the Amazon web site with Atrix.

[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
The amazon description says it does, the cnn.cn is a good deal, but no adapter plate is deal breaker for people like me who own the docks.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] sigp23940:
Glad I waited to buy any covers for this phone. Just ordered this in blue from amazon.

They have a pink one too, fyi..
[Atrix 4G Accessories] noxlord:
Mine is on it's way as well :D It's half price and ship sooner than Amazon, you definitelly deserve a thanks !!!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] phobos512:
Whoever gets one of these first, grab a 3/4 view showing how thick the lip is over the edge of the screen (like this ). Also if you can check how the fit is with the car dock, that'd be great.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] chromedome00:
The car dock has a removable insert that allows for a thicker case. So it should fit just fine.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
I want the plate made specifically for the rugged case
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
For the car dock you remove the insert and then it fits. That's the intended design for use with the Moto rugged battery cover. For the standard and HD dock, there is a replacement insert, also by design for use with the Moto rugged case.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] phobos512:
This I know as I have the car dock...however, the TPU case I have is too thick even with the insert removed...hence, my question. :)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
Ahh, I see. Yes, the official Motorola ruggedized case fits the car dock with the insert removed. Although we don't have pictures to demonstrate this yet, we will in about a week or so.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] GoodFoot:
The car dock is not designed to handle cases any thicker than the Moto rugged one. However, the other docks could probably handle almost any case by removing or modifying the insert plate.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] digital.aaron:
I ordered a cover from cnn.cn and it arrived today. I'll try to take some pictures later on this evening.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
congrats you first person in the world to get it, cant wait to see the pics, also did it come with retail packaging and adapter plate?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] digital.aaron:
Unfortunately, I do not know yet. My wife sent me a picture of the package, unopened. I won't be able to open it until I get home.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
DA, what's your zip code, and when did you order?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] noxlord:
I am anxiously waiting on those pictures :D
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
me too

filler text
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
I'm anxiously waiting for mine to arrive in the mail. Apparently it's leaving Hong Kong tomorrow...
[Atrix 4G Accessories] digital.aaron:
I ordered on 4/26 at around 12 ~ 1pm. It was the morning of the 27th in China. My invoice is dated the 27th. I chose the mid tier FedEx shipping, adding $19 to the total, I think. I live in the pacific northwest, so it probably just got flown straight in. There's a pretty big FedEx complex near here. :D

Anyway, it got delivered this morning around 8am. That's some serious turnaround time. I'm very impressed.

As for the case, it's nice. It's not silicone-y. It's smooth rubber. Good grip without sticking to you.It adds a tiny bit of bulk, but not much. It fits nicely in the car dock once the thin insert is removed. It fully covers the sides, and provides the slightest extra lip to the front face. It interfere at all with the fingerprint scanner. It fully covers the volume buttons, and has cutouts for the headphone jack and usb/hdmi ports. The latter is where my only gripe comes. This section is very flimsy and doesn't hold against the phone as tight as the rest of the case. This is a minor annoyance at best, though.

Here's what you came for:
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
I ordered mine on 4/26, but chose cheap shipping. It will leave HK tomorrow. I'm guessing they just threw some thin rubbery material around a stock battery cover. Where attached to the cover, it would seem pretty tough. On it's own, probably pretty wimpy. Even though pretty cheap, nice profit margin on these. Minimal engineering to an existing part. To be fair, a very good and effctive idea.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ranova:
thanks digital.aaron, so you confirm that no replacement plates are included for the standard/multimedia docks?

Smooth rubber, is it like the soft touch on the evo?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
Does it come with adapter??
[Atrix 4G Accessories] elementaldragon:
Well.... i guess my main questions are:

A) Is it like the outer cover on the OtterBox cases (i.e. does it basically seem capable of attracting dust while in a cleanroom)?

B) Does it actually replace the stock rear cover, or does it just go over it?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] digital.aaron:
No, no adapters, no retail packaging.

The backing plate that snaps onto the phone is a bit larger than the standard battery cover. It's pretty stiff up most of the side of the device, with basically just the part that curls over to form the lip being pliable.

I've never felt an EVO, but I do have experience with the Droid X. Similar texture as the X's battery cover. It's very pleasing on the fingers. So far in my limited time with it, it seems much easier to hold and operate the phone with one hand, something I was not always comfortable doing with the stock cover.

Also, the color is a bit different than how it looks online. In real life the blue cover I ordered looks more purple to me. I kinda wish I had ordered the green one. But, it's far from being a deal breaker.

I have a feeling these will be pretty popular with Atrix owners, if Motor can hurry up and get them into the sales channel.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] digital.aaron:
A) No, it's very different from Otterbox's rubber. It hasn't picked up any fuzz from my pocket, and I've got on fleece sweatpants. Used to be a nightmare for my 'Box'd iPhone.

B) It replaces the stock battery cover. It adds very little bulk to the phone.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] elementaldragon:
Cool.... and thanks for the quick reply.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
first known man on planet to have this case, pretty cool
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
Great pix too! So where is my royalty fee? :D
[Atrix 4G Accessories] digital.aaron:
You mean your commission? I think you'll have to talk to cnn.cn, bro!

Thanks for the heads up dude. Great find. I will definitely order from them again. My entire order took less than 48 hours to arrive at my doorstep. FROM. HONG. KONG. :D

The thing was packed well, too.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jimmer411:
I just got my shipment notification from cnn, can't wait.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] goscrewsir:
Just ordered. Thanks for taking the plunge first, digital.aaron
[Atrix 4G Accessories] mjsztainbok:
They must be copies of the official Motorola cases as Motorola are not actually releasing the cases now based on their forum:

https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/375087#375087
[Atrix 4G Accessories] youareme7:
Well that's a bummer. Looking at the pictures above they must be pretty good copies though, and I'm perfectly fine with that. I had mine shipped slow mail and got the shipment notice today, looking forward to it!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
Wow, Motorola failed with Xoom, lapdock, and now the one thing that seemed impossible to screw up they FAILED on. Motorola is so dumb.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ranova:
I dont think these are copies, but what was made (everything is made in china) and then *apparently* abandoned by Motorola.

I bought 2 of each color plus 2 replacement OEM regular backings before they run out. Paid for EMS Express shipping. I suggest you guys do the same if you want this.

Not bringing these replacement backings to market is Motorola mistake #35254

[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
Yes, these definitely are not Chinese knock offs., judging by all the other OEM atrix products they have that arent in market.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
When mine comes in, I will sell it for $1,000.

I already have a REALLY nice Seidio case. It doesn't fit my car dock, but it is a GREAT case. I bought it on Amazon for about $27. Got it in a few days. I might make a dock for it if I get the $1K for the M one.......
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
keep dreaming
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
I just bought 10 green, with shipping and discount, less than $100.

Copies of what, junk made in China anyway? People with car docks NEED these.....
[Atrix 4G Accessories] OSNPA:
Just paid for a blue one from cnn.cn. Can't believe Motorola cancelled these.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
Joking, but you knew that......
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
I agree and I can further assure everyone that cnn.cn does not sell knock off product. I've been a customer since 2007 buying all sorts of replacment phone parts. They are a very well connected company and will even seek outhard to find product when requested.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
If this was even close to being released, at LEAST a few hundred were made. CNN must have gotten hold of however many of that bunch. Of course they were made in China.

JJWATEVER, if you don't have one, I'll give you one of my 10 when they come in. If not for you, I would have none. Let me know.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
Dude, that's seriously cool of you! I cheaped out on the shipping so mine is in with the chickens on a boat in some river still. I'll let you know if the package has been ripped to shreds or if product is ruggedly ship shape. :D
[Atrix 4G Accessories] phobos512:
Hey thanks for posting pics whoever it was that posted the pics. I went ahead and ordered a green one. Looking forward to its arrival.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] digital.aaron:
Glad you liked them. I didn't think the quality of my pics were really that great, but I was just trying to get something up asap.

I seriously thought about ordering a green one today. But I really have no need for two.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Purple Drama Llama:
Or for your Airplane dock.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
I saw one pic online that looked purple so I kind of thought it might be. I think that if you are between green and blue (purple), choose the one that matches the dash in you're car.

Ok, so right about now, 1 in 3 readers is contemplating choosing pink!!!!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
I am just shocked they would just pull the plug on this so late in the game, they obv produced a bunch of them seeing how cnn has it and amazon has high res photos of the phone in the case. It just boggles the mind.

It angers me that it could be because atrix isnt pushing large numbers but atleast let the people who wanted them buy them if they were already made.

In for 1 of every color.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] chromedome00:
I don't think it has to do with Atrix sales numbers. I would guess they got a lot of flack from other case manufacturers.

Making docks is one thing, but if the phone producer makes a better case then all the case vendors, it gets them a little angry.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] sigp23940:
Well canceled my amazon order and went with CNN. Hopefully they still have them! :rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
Hey, I'm. Not saying anything!

I'll email cnn.cn to see if they can get the dock inserts.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] krkeegan:
I own a lapdock and a cardock. I am not sure what inserts you are looking for. I see Amazon mentions something, but I think it is a mistake. Based on the photos from Aaron the phone fits perfectly in the car dock by REMOVING the insert that came with the car dock. I think the same is likely to be true of the lapdock. I will send photos when it arrives.

Clearly Motorola had this case in mind when it made the inserts on all of the docks.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
You are most likely correct. I don't recall if the lapdock has the thin removable insert like the car dock. Perhaps you can comment.

So cnn.cn is all over the standard/hd dock insert that Moto failed to ship with the products (SJN0722A - 2 shot battery door fit plate). Waiting for confirmation on them being able to procure from the factory. Stay tuned guys.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jayrod88:
In for the blue and green from CNN.cn $5 shipping will get here in 7-10 business days :(
[Atrix 4G Accessories] digital.aaron:
Oh, you most certainly have to remove the insert from the car dock to use it with the case. The case adds about as much thickness as the insert.

And I'm pretty sure Motor canceled the cases because the Atrix is not selling well. I don't think it has anything to do with other case makers. Motor has great cases for the Verizon Droids.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
cnn.cn probly got all the cases motorola cancelled
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
10 green packaged, waiting to be shipped. I have 11 on the way. If that car dock wasn't so !@$# nice.......
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ranova:
ordered about $80 worth of things on cnn (4 rugged cases +other stuff) and chose EMS shipping for $20, Friday afternoon.

Shipped Saturday morning with expected delivery on Monday, that is some crazy shipping speed coming from china!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
The plan is coming together it seems

I'm yet to get confirmation that it is available, but cnn are checking to see if they can get the standard/hd dock insert for use with the rugged. Moto assured me they'd ship it to me also, but so far they are unable to locate their own part!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] krkeegan:
Yes, the lapdock has an insert very similar to the car dock.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ItsLunchBOX:
Ordered a green one and a blue one today. Extra 15% off your order if you order from your phone or other mobile browser. Chose the $5 shipping so order total was $27.08. ;)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ranova:
got mine in this morning.

In my opinion, I like the blue more than green - its less noticeable. The material isnt really soft touch (like the back of the Evo 4G or Droid X) - its like soft touch rubber but a dried version, its a weird material - not sure if I like it yet. At least its not the sticky rubber found on most crappy cases.

This is definitely the real product, it has that instructional sticker on how to put it on, on the inside of the case, just like the original back cover. Definitely full protection from light drops - more case developers should make these types of cases.

If Siedio made a soft touch one (like most of their cases) with a kickstand, I would give them my money.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
looking at the pics and your review I have a feeling motorola scrapped this because they werent happy with the final product
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ks2hot4u:
What PICTURES ?? I would love to see some pictures
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
Scroll back a few pages. There are stock pix and real pix posted on this thread. :) cnn.cn is the only place you can buy this currently.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ks2hot4u:
nevermind, I thought andy2na posted pics then edited them out. any chance we can get some close up angles on the front andy2na ? really wanna know if I put it face down if the glass will still touch
