Help Best Triumph Cases

I haven't seen a thread like this in a while. I've been looking for a solid case for a while, and I was just wondering what sort of cases everyone here was using.

Right now, I'm temporarily using a super cheap one from ebay (less than $3 I think), but it's clear and scratches VERY easily. Can't complain for the price though. I've looked around a lot, but can't seem to find many reviews on the Triumph cases. May have to go off of brand names and read up reviews on other phones.

So, what kind of case/screen protector do you use?
 
I use the glossy black one-piece TPU case for about $4 on ebay, shipping included. I got a slightly more "premium" one earlier (~$5 on ebay) that was a snap-on front & back, but it was bulkier. I normally wouldn't even use a case, except the battery cover on the back of the MT can come loose easily without one. I always use a screen protector though, the MT already came with one so just left it on.
 
I used to just go without a case, but my current Triumph (a replacement I recently got) is entirely scratch-free and I want to keep it that way. My first one got all sorts of dings and dents from not using a case. I may try another cheap one that isn't clear, maybe those won't scratch as easily.
 
Personally I don't use a case, even though I do have a rocket fish case I hardly use it just because I like the feel of the triumph without a case... I always use a screen protector though. Took off the stock one and replaced it with a Zagg invisible shield (which is a bit pricey: $20ish before tax), but its 3mm military grade plastic with a lifetime warranty if it gets damaged...
 
i have a blue snap on case ($1.20) on amazon, and a black silicone gel case ($1.70 ish) they both work great! :D i also just ordered some screen protectors. there just cheapies so im gonna see how they feel in hand before i put them on my triumph... i bought 3 of em' for $2.35ish so there cheap lmao :D

Same TPU one I have. No complaints about it. And good touch response with stock screen protector as well.

Hey ziggy, if you get some free time could you take a pic of your phone with the case on it? Im curious to see what it looks like in the diff color cases. I'm a visual type of person and if it looks cool I might have to break out the big bucks and buy one, lol. :p
 
Using Empire brand case from Amazon. It looks just like the cheap generic ones, but it doesn't feel really cheap and fits well. The black case has scratches that show up white, so that kind of sucks.
 
ebay seller "forever-deal" and then search for "TPU Cover" its hard as hell to push the buttons but other then that its a good case.

That does suck. I was going to buy the Empire case too. I'm glad it works as well as I thought it would. It was my second choice.

Until Otterbox (never) releases a case for the Triumph I'll stick with the silicone Amzer one I have. It fits really snugly and keeps the phone from getting dinged and scratched. Also I seem to have a knack for pulling off the battery cover by accident, so it helps prevent it from falling off.
I also have an InvisibleShield on it (I can't recommend them enough-seriously get one. NOW!!!) so under the silicone case my phone has further protection.
As my SO says regarding her iPhone (I know, boo/hiss) "It's like having two condoms on"

I have no problems w power button since it's exposed. The volume buttons are covered, but using my fingernails help.
 
These are the two I use.

Newegg.com - Motorola Triumph WX435 - Smoke Checker Argyle Transparent TPU Flex Skin Case

^ Looks decent. Fits pretty snugly (much better than soft silicone fit) Feels really good and sticky against the hand (that's what she said) and offers really good protection. Great price also.

Discount Imak Hard Case Simple Flexible Slim Faceplate For Motorola Triumph [imak019 Triumph Wx435]- US$8.99 - OBOstore.com Also comes in Silver and Gold for a buck more. http://www.obostore.com/imak-ultra-titanium-faceplate-for-motorola-triumph-p-2525.html

^ I really wanted something that does not completely ruin the Triumph's bland \ square but unique looks. This one does just that and looks and feels amazing to me. I have the white one which matches my MIUI theme nicely. :D It's really thin and light making the side buttons very easy to access and has a fine grain texture feel. However it doesn't seem to offer as much protection as other cases out there but still, my phone has had a couple of bad falls with this case and it seems to do just fine. Also comes with a screen protector.

I use the same ;)
 
black crystal tpu. for those of you who don't know what they are it's like a combo between a hard case and a silicone. Best part is it doesn't attract dust like silicone.

So many choices! I think I might get this one, but I can't decide between white and blue! And I don't need both, haha. I was thinking about a TPU case too, I had three of those for my Optimus and they worked well to only cost $5 each.
Also, did you notice that the notification bar/icons are not the Triumph ones? Not to mention, they completely forget about the bottom four buttons in the pictures. Photoshop fail!

Hahaha just noticed the photoshop fail. Don't worry it fits perfectly despite the fail.

The white one looks great against the pure black colors of my Triumph but keep in mind that dirt shows on white much more easily. I also really like the shiny silver one on the second link I almost got it but the white won.

One thing I did not like about their service is that they did not provide a shipping number when the order was processed so I had no way of knowing when it go here, they just give you an approximate shipping date which is quite long since I believe it ships from China.
 
I use the AMZER TPU-Hot Pink Case. I really like it because:
-it's hot pink
-it slides in to my pocket with ease
-has good protection
-has holes for all the microphones
-has a quality feel to it, feels a notch less stiff than the rocketfish (as in less pliable)
-it's hot pink

I don't like its volume buttons; feels funky. Also some audio equipment jacks don't fit and you need to peel back the case to plug in. Not all, just some of my old cables.

I also have the Smoke Grey. Looks like Newegg caries it for much cheaper than what I paid...I purchased mine through Amzer directly. Newegg's link is here. If you like the rocketfish but not its price, I highly recommend the Amzer!

it looks cool, and the phone just slides in, so no popping off a case if you need to get to the SD card or battery. doesn't look like the corners are as protected as my current case, but it just looks so cool.

I've got the black IMAK case and I'm very satisfied with the purchase. Coming from the rocketfish tpu case and I'll not be changing back. Delivery was a little long but well worth the wait. Great quality product.
