Androidified A2 TPU Case Review for the Motorola Atrix HD

The Atrix HD was one of the first HD smartphones by Motorola released in America, and being such, people loyal to the brand went out and grabbed it as soon as possible. Considering the low price point, it’s a pretty good deal for those just getting introduced into Android and for those looking to renew a contract. While there aren’t many cases out for the device, considering it was shadowed by the many other releases right-beside it, Cruzerlite has went out of the way to ensure that you have the usual quality protection for a low price.

The Cruzerlite Androidified case has become one of my favorite cases in general thanks to the slim feel and great design. I can’t tell you how many times I have been complemented on the Android sitting on the back while pulling out one of my devices and typing a quick text. While Cruzerlite may not be the first company creating cases for a variety of devices, they sure are one of the first to give them a unique look that is static across every one.

The Build, Protection, and Price

If you’ve come looking for your first case for your HD, look no further. The Androidified provides all you could look for in a day-to-day case. Unless you plan on going hiking daily, or work in a dangerous environment for your phone, the case provides the protection that you need. Keeping the sides, back, corners, and front protected from drop, shock, and scratches.

The overall design of the product is a simple slide-over case with no extra layers or attachments, keeping it simple for those who like to remove it when they get home or plan on placing it in a dock. One of the things that bugs me about other cases is their lack of accommodating larger third-party cables for charging or interacting with your phone. Thankfully, the cutout on the top of the case provides plenty of room for even the bulkiest USB, HDMI, and 3.5mm audio plugs we had around the office. While the cutouts for the buttons make it a tad difficult to press at times, they do allow you to find the buttons easier at night and make it significantly easier to press than cases of the same material which cover the buttons.

When you look at the case, you can pretty much gather for yourself the amount of protection it’s going to provide. It’s no Otterbox Defender (thankfully), but that reflects both in the low price of the product, and the limited protection that it offers. Having used the Androidified case for 8 months or so on my Note, I can say that protection really isn’t a problem. I’ve dropped my device on the sides, corners, and face-down with no damage done to any piece of the device. The most you’ll see done to the case is a little indentation if dropped on asphalt or something with a similar texture.

The Androidified style on the rear keeps a Android logo on the back with a flat finish and a glossy surrounding material. It’s glossy so it’s going to naturally attract fingerprints. Nothing that won’t wipe off when sliding in or out of your pocket, though.

Overall

Coming in at a low $9.99, you can’t really go wrong with the purchase. Other ‘feather’ or lightweight cases cost nearly two to three times the price, while offering similar protection and a more difficult installation process. Be sure to take a look at the case provided through the links below.
