Best Case

my case is the body glove with the swivel belt clip that u can use as a kickstand too. I think about $18 on amazon. great case and I can use the phone to mount in my car with another belt clip thing I have mounted by my radio to hold the phone.
 
Just got my Seidio surface case today. I can send pics but it's pretty much the same smooth thin protective feel all the Seidio surface cases have (had it on my OD and my BB Pearl before that).

The installation, however, is a little odd (2 piece design) and I'm not sure I like that part. We'll have to wait and see I guess.

I just got my TPU case. Great case for 9 bucks on amazon. Fits perfect, flexible but not too flexible. Matte finish on the back which is slightly grippy, but not so grippy that it sticks to your pocket. glossy finish around the edge of the screen.

Does it fit in either of the docks (car or media)?

I had that case and it was awesome! Phone felt super safe and the case was very well constructed and didn't add much size to the phone. Only stopped using it due to.it not fitting the extended battery.

You should be aware that the upper right corner flap covers the notification LED. Not that big of a deal, I just took a razor and trimmed it but it is a rather glaring design flaw in mt opinion.

Got my Surface case today as well. The fit is good just like for my Droid X. The Bionic will fit in both docks but it will not allow the USB to go in far enough to activate the car or media mode. Unfortunately it is on its way back.

I actually didn't expect it to fit - as I'm sure Seidio would love to sell you their car dock.

The design, however is growing on me. It's much easier to take the case off and put it back on.

I'm not sure I'm keeping it though.

Can we start a list of those that fit in the docks?
I see the TPU cases do. What other ones?
 
I like the Sena leather ultraslim sleeve. High quality leather, beautiful workmanship, nice snug fit. senacases.com/motorola-cases/
I got one for my wife's droid and she loves it. I'm getting one for the Bionic. They are taking pre-orders now for shipping in October.
 
I just ordered a case-mate barely there case. I had one on my incredible and I loved it. I hope it's just as nice on the bionic.
 
I've been thinking of a skin so the phone would fit in both docks from my Costco bundle. I've currently got the Verizon shiny silicone, and it works in my car dock with the insert removed--except that the on/off button doesn't respond well. But it won't fit in the desk dock so I have to remove it daily.

However, all the skins I've seen (Zagg, Decalgirl, Skinit) aren't covering the slim sides that aren't part of the battery cover, and some of them aren't even providing a piece to cover the front chin. And those are the shiny parts most likely to be damaged if dropped!

Hadn't thought of using a skin with a sleeve, so thanks for that suggestion. But that wouldn't remove the risk of dropping it while transferring in/out of sleeve. Don't ask me how I know about this risk from m two years with my OG Droid....

Anyone know of a customizable skin that will cover better than the three I've named? (Gotta be customizable so I can put my grandkids' pix on it. :-) )

As someone else requested, can we please add to the single list of covers that fit in both docks? TPU apparently? Which others?

Do you? I totally expected to be buying Sena - I had the keepsake box for my OG Droid, and have the ultraslim sleeve for my Touch. I LOVE Sena.
I'm not sure that sleeve is enough for my Bionic, though. I wish it had just a bit more structure to it.

Also, I have the extended battery and I don't know if it will fit that.

Now I'm in a $2.99 Amazon sleeve that looks like a tiny puffy coat. Good protection! LOL
 
I don't have the extended battery since I got the spare in the Costco bundle, and my battery life has gotten better and better. So, I didn't ask them about a model for the extended. I did ask if the case was tapered in thickness like the Bionic and they said it is. I can't say enough about the quality and workmanship of their product.
 
The Verizon cheap Silicone skin cover is what I'm using right now. It fits in both docks but sometimes you have to fiddle with it to activate the Cardock or Media Dock apps. It doesn't cover the extended battery though.

I have the Verizon Holster and mine does not fit car dock without putting extreme pressure on the USB connector. Should I go and buy another car dock to see if it is a tolerance issue?

I'm delighted with the Incipio Feather. Very minimalistic and fit is outstanding.

+1 for this. I got it in the mail yesterday and it fits great. Very slim and it fits in the media HDMI dock and the car dock (actually kinda loose but too big for the no-case insert) just fine. Also comes with a screen protector but I have to yet to put that on yet.
 
I have the shinny gel one from Verizon, The shell/holster case from Verizon, and an Otterbox Defender.....

I did like the shell/holster combo because it allowed my extended battery. The only problem I found with that case is I still managed to scratch my phone when it fell on the bottom corner.

The shinny case was decent, I just am not a fan of its aesthetically, IMO it just looks cheap.

I love my defender. It may add bulk to the phone, but I love knowing that I can drop it and not worry too much about my phone. I just wish I could run my extended battery with it.

Just my 2 cents.
 
Loving my Otterbox Defender.

I can live without an extended battery. I got a spare battery I can carry with me and pop in if need be, but I got chargers darn near everywhere (all the cars, multiple places in the house).
