Accessories Review (pictures): Body Glove snap-on case with Kick Stand for Motorola Atrix

I bought this case after trying out the Otterbox Commuter & Incipio Feather. I still have them, but don't use them as much as the Commuter gathers dust easily & the Feather doesn't afford too much protection. A good compromise is the Body Glove Snap On case with Kick Stand. It's a solid case with a rubbery, textured material that doesn't attract dust. The grip is solid and the case appears well built, just like the Commuter. In fact, I suspect that this case may be able to do a better job than the Commuter for protection against drops and knocks.

It's more than just a case, as it comes with an adjustable Kick Stand, which allows the phone to stand upright or slanted on it's own (portrait & landscape). The stand is built into the rotating clip, so you don't have to worry about losing separate parts of a multi-purpose accessory. The kick stand allows for multiple viewing angles in portrait mode and 2 angles in landscape. The clip is also well built, and "clicks" into various positions solidly. The Clip can be mounted and released quickly. The knob for the clip can be removed and the hole is covered up by a supplied accessory, for a low profile look. Hence, this case is quite versatile in it's use.

I would say that the Body Case is slightly less bulkier than the Otterbox Commuter and bulkier than the Incipio Feather. It's a substantial case like the Commuter, so it may not be suited for folks looking for an ultra low profile look. Putting the case together is quite easy. Taking it apart is difficult on first try, but becomes quite easy after some practise, once you figure out the points to pivot your fingernail from.

All in all, quite a good case that looks sharp; has a low profile (for a tough case); well built & has a great grip with a built-in kick stand. Pictures:

Nice looking case

I don't know that it's so much nice looking, as it is "functional". I've had Body Glove cases in the past, and they're very good at protecting the phone. They also tend to fall apart in about 6 months time - sooner if you take the case off a lot, like when you're rooting and installing custom roms, and need to pull the battery frequently.

I bought one of these.
I found it to be too "grabby" for my pocket.
It is very nice as so far as not 'slippping' out of your hand.
But getting it in & out of my pocket proved to be a chore especially while sitting..
So, I want to get rid of it.
You buy me a 5 dollar foot long & it's yours...
email or PM me for details...
ps. I dont have the rear clip (kickstand) I tossed it when I got it..
Just the front & back.... thanks.. Jim

How does the Body Glove fair while trying to stand up in landscape? It looks a bit tipsy.
