Amazon Search: TPU-Cases-Flexible-Motorola

I'm not a big big fan of cases. I had a Droid 1 with the Body Glove that gave really good protection but it made it really bulky and hard to get in and out of pockets. When I upgraded to the Droid X, I just got the full body invisiShield, which worked great but did not protect against drops and dents :(

The Bionic with the plastic full cover backing, I didn't think a full body invisiShield would have been the right choice to go (actually my friend has it and he has huge peeling problems). When I shopping amazon, I came across this TPU case, and for $9, it was worth a shot... It seriously was the best buy I could've ever made. When its on your phone, it is solid. It doesn't feel flexible and I haven't dropped my Bionic, yet. The backing is a nice matte black -- it has a very natural feel (like you don't have a case). It does add SLIGHT girth/weight, but its not at all cumbersome. The Bionic fits real snug and it lips around the edges in the front (you can set it down face down and the screen doesn't touch the table -- this is a huge convenience, one example would having your phone drop flat on the front side, given that there aren't any rocks or pointed objects (but if you dropped it even w/o the case, well same story...).

The best part, it fits in the Cardock PERFECTLY. Downside, it does not fit on the desk dock... but when I'm at home or at my desk... I rock my Bionic naked... and the case is flexible, so its easy to take off/on.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Thanks for the post - good read.

I researched the case you spoke of and it's very similar to the Verizon gel case I currently have. It definitely provides the right amount of protection, but I'm looking to get that "sexy naked feel" the unprotected Bionic provides.

Here is what I'm thinking. I'm going to order the matte black phantomskinz skin. Cover the top and bottom (the only parts exposed from the incipio feather case) and then rock the incipio. Might be slightly ghetto, but I'm sure I can get it looking good. That will give me the lightweight feel of the incipio case with some protection from nicks and scratches on the top and bottom.

I'll post pics when I make it happen.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] efingguy:
I would definitely invest a little more for the balance of sexy and protection, this was just the quick fix for now but its turning into a permanence since it really tops the silicon gels.. pictures just don't do it justice.

youtube search tpu-cases.com review

I've just become a huge fan of TPU after picking this up. I'm not a big fan of high gloss or clear/patterned designs, the matte black is definitely a sexy finish.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
You sure love your TPU. Lol. Few questions:

Have you seen the Verizon gel case that speak of?

How similar/different is it? Size wise? Obviously one is matte and one is glossy.

Just curious, cause that's what I rock, and from pics it seems the matte vs. glossy is the only real noticeable difference.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Just ordered the incipio feather. I'll give my opinions in two days.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] efingguy:
Yeah, when the Droid X came out, another friend of mine got the Verizon case at the store. The ones we are talking about are the silicone gel cases that are really flexible and rubbery. I would almost describe it as sticky as over time it gets softer and attracts more lint. These slip off the phone easily sometimes. The width that it adds is pretty minimal since it is a floppy material, and a hard shell case is just the opposite in that respect. The hard shell cases in my experience fit the phone real nice, and are not floppy at all, and add minimal width. When you drop a hard shell though, the hardshell cracks over time and it doesnt really distribute the shock. But its to your preference and likelihood of dropping your phone I guess. I'm just really backing how cheap the TPU cases are and how reliable the material is. It seriously is something you have to see to beleive. Let me know how the incipio is!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
My gel case from Verizon does get very sticky and greasy. Makes me mad.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] efingguy:
Update..

I just noticed my desk dock had a "padding"... it totally fits with this case on!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Got this case today.

Initial impressions:

*Absolutely love the thinness of it. It feels like I don't have a case on. Looks sharp.

CONS:

*No top and bottom protection (I knew this before purchase)

*Back gets smudgey
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
You know what I just realized? When I wrote this post, my phone was in a TPU case. Lol.

I got the smoky argyle one, and definitely loved the appearance and lightweight feel of it. I thought it felt a little janky by the power button (was pretty loose) and there were some leftover nubs from where it was cut - clearly visible against the black background of the screen.

I got some black sandpaper and sanded it down, but it left the case looking like garbage. I got it for $2.95 + $2.95 shipping, so I'm not complaining. I might end up ordering another.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tragicremedy:
I just got this case, iridescent red one, I agree the top and bottom is exposed but the look and feel of it is very nice. It is very sexy looking as well, doesn't cover anything that shouldn't be covered like holes etc.

The main reason I got this one was that someone said it would fit in the Moto car dock, and it does. However, if I hit a bump some times it pops up justttttt enough to stop charging. Pop it back down and it stays for a while again.

Funny no one else ever mentions this but I live in Florida, and every single black droid I have owned (1, 2, 2global, and now bionic) overheats when going on long trips and using Nav. Can't charge it when it overheats. I wanted to go with Iridescent Red to maybe reflect some of that heat...hope it works.

Also, red and black just go together....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
The OEM gel and TPU both fit into the dock as well, and much snugger at that.

I never have issues with overheating. I did get a random reboot half an hour after putting the case on though.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tragicremedy:
FYI, I was able to find a very easy and very obvious fix for the issue where this case pops out of the moto car dock. Yes, I already removed the insert in the dock.

I just used the piece at the top that locks it down inside the dock....duh.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BFirebird101:
I bought the skrylic case by Incipio for it and I love it! More protection, and no extra dimensions
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
Doesn't that case cover your LED notification?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] papasmurph:
You were going to post pics? I would love to see the close ups of the top and bottom from a user's perspective...I have the same concerns about those areas.

thanks!

Dustin
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
I'll try to get some up tonight.

I stopped using it - couldn't handle how exposed it was. I've tried three cases now, and I gotta say the soft TPU ones are the winner. It didn't happen at first, but after using all three, TPU wins hands down. Just ordered another :)

1) Verizon gel case

2) TPU smokey argyle

3) Incipio feather

That's the order in which I bought. Incipio is definitely my least favorite.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] papasmurph:
Ah, thanks...don't bother with pictures then. You're reactions are enough for me. No Feather for me. ..I'm also interested in the Seidio surface and the Otterbox commuter but I've never had a TPU ...his does it differ from the OEM gel case?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
It's thinner and feels better in the hand, IMO. Just puts a nice little glove around it...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] papasmurph:
That smoky argyle looks good. And just $5?! Might as we'll try it...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
I got my first one for $2.95 :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] envizion58:
i had the feather case for about a month now. the corner of the cases started to crack and fall apart for some reason. it has never been dropped and the its always handled with care. i emailed incipio about this and they were kind enough to ship me a replacement. minus on product quality, but a plus on customer service.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] droidxscott:
Mine has cracked in 2 places... waiting to hear back from them.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] droidxscott:
just heard back... They have all ready sent me a replacement ! Great customer service !
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dakota0206:
Pics anyone?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
Thanks...having the same issue. Case is cracked on the front top left corner, and in the back at the corner near the headphone jack. Will see if I can get a replacement as well.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Did either of you drop your phones to cause the cracks? Just curious how the phone fared...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
I think mine has fallen off the arm of the couch a couple times and landed on the carpet below...so about a 3 ft drop. The phone didn't pop out of the case so that's a positive. I don't expect the results to be as good when dropping on concrete though. Normally I'm all about having a case and screen cover, but with my Bionic I'm just practicing better/safer handling techniques. I guess since we had our first baby this year, I'm being more careful as to how I hold on to my precious possessions ;)

Overall I still like the case. I wish the edges were softer tho, they're pretty sharp. When they fix the silicrylic case I'll probably go back to that.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
I hear you on the baby man. Ever since I became a father I hold stuff with extreme caution. Lol. I'm just curious if anyone has dropped the phone on concrete with this case. I doubt it will hold up - I'm more curious to the top and bottom, as they are uncovered.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] MikeG7265:
Mine hasn't cracked, but the outer layer has started to peel. Like yours, mine has never been dropped. I like the design, since I am usually very careful with my devices. I guess I need to contact Incipio about a replacement.

For now I have gone with the Casemate Barely There case.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Face down concrete drop from over 6 feet. Top and bottom scratch free - the unprotected parts.

The part that is covered suffered two gouges. Case is toast.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
Ouch, sorry to hear that....I thought you were waiting for someone else to test that : / Anyway, so it landed face down...like on the glass? I would have thought for sure it would pop out and tear up the screen if that happened. I guess the good news is, the parts that are now gouged would be concealed under a new case right? That's kinda been my strategy lately, I'll roll naked until i tear up the case, then I'll put a case on to hide the damage.

Hello, I am on virtuous unity sense 3.0 with my sim locked and I want to unlock it. I tried to use the gfree true permaroot guide to unlock my sim even though I already have s off and engineering bootloader, but for some reason when I try to open gfree in this step:

10. Type "./gfree -f" and hit enter.

I get a "Attempting to power cycle eMMC failed" error. I even tried downgrading my radio from the latest gingerbread one to the froyo one. So I am not sure where to go from here. Are there any other ways I can sim unlock besides using gfree? Or is there any way to fix it so that I can unlock using gfree? Or should I try downgrading to a stock 2.2 ROM and doing it?

If anyone could help I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
just call tmobile, that's the easiest way.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
You have to be on a 2.2 ROM to do it. G-Free is not compatible on android 2.3. Or yes, you can call t-mobile. They gave it to me without a hassle. Took about 20 hours and they send it to you in an email.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
not true. you have to be on the STOCK 2.2.1 rom that came with the MT4G to root via gfree, but he is already rooted and s-off, running virtuous unity.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caaznkid:
t-mobile is not an option. so according to everyone i got to RUU to stock? or is there a cwm flashable stock 2.2 rom someone could point me out to?

download this file: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V4NAODYZ

WARNING: THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA AND RETURN YOUR PHONE TO STOCK TMOBILE MYTOUCH 4G 2.2.1 ROM.

1) rename to PD151IMG.zip

2) put in ROOT of sdcard (not in any folders)

3) reboot phone into bootloader/hboot (make sure fastboot is off before)

4) the phone should find the PD151IMG.zip file, and ask if you want to update.

5) select "yes"

6) wait patiently, go eat a cookie.

7) after the flashing is complete, reboot

8) after reboot, the phone should be back to stock 2.2.1, check in settings to be sure.

9) HIT THE THANKS BUTTON (IMPORTANT :p)

i am not responsible for anything that happens to your device. proceed with caution.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
There is a chance that gfree won't work for SIM unlock when you're already on engineering bootloader, it's bootloader-dependent. Try to restore the stock image as saranhai pointed above.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caaznkid:

edit: now it does...weird.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Take a nandroid backup of your existing ROM if you like it.

Then do as suggested - install the PD15IMG.zip, root, gfree etc to SIM unlock.

Then restore your nandroid backup from custom recovery, and you'll be back where you started but unlocked :D

I've tried bunch of tutorials on the net, but I still get bloody error!

I've already installed Android SDK and installed everything in it from android repositories, and I also installed "Nook Touch USB ADB Drivers" but I still can't get it connected! any idea?:confused:
[Nook Touch General] cceerrtt:
Hi.

1st: Do you have any android phone? This is the best way to check that your pc with android sdk is properly configured. Once you are able connect to a phone, you can be sure that the problem is on the nook site

2nd: Let me tell you the way how I have rooted my nook and made usb work (because I have decided not to use touchnooter). I used noogie image to get rw access to nook partitions and replace uRamdisk on nook with the uRamdisk attached here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16880141&postcount=6

Of course, backup the original one.

On linux site, it was also necessary to add udev rules (as mentioned on the page) but this is linux related. I can't help with windows, for me they are too difficult to use :-)

But I can confirm that mentioned uRamdisk works.

Hi, i don't know if this is an already-know fact but even google can't tell me if i discovered something new.

If i old and press down the power button on my HTC Mazaa for something like 30 seconds the phone just shuts down and do 3 consecutive vibration.

After this the only way to re-power-on is removing the battery :(

But.. if i plug the phone on my pc while in this "dead-like" state windows founds it and mount a new partition, sadly a partition in unknown format type wich can't be opened.

Using the Disk Management utility i noticed that windows see 20 partition inside my windows phone! One in RAW format and other totally unknown.

My first try was to open that from windows 8 hoping in some new file system but i got the same result as windows 7.

I attach a screenshot of my Disk Management, hoping it can help!

And now some questions, is this the same thing i can see using the internal windows phone sd card in a normal pc?

Someone knows if this is crypted in some way or is a brand new file system?

ps: on the screenshot i just censored my 2 hard-disks, all the rest is from the phone
