I recently bought this.

It's solid and provides excellent grip without adding too much bulk to the phone.
Just bought one on eBay for $13 including shipping. Great case. The buttons are still easy to press even though they are covered by the case. The phone is much easier to hold now especially one handed.
Same price on Amazon, fyi.

Quick review, sorry I don't have batteries for my digital camera right now, so no pics.
What I bought - I bought a "Crystal Gel TPU Case" in the glossy black variety. The case is flexible, but it keeps it's shape like a hard plastic case. I wanted this type of fit because I had a hard plastic case from the same company and it was damn-near impossible to get off when I had to pull my battery one time.
I paid $8.99 + free shipping. They do have some on sale for less.
The Company - They had contacted me on Twitter at one point, one of those advertisement Tweets. The key was, they offered me free shipping on their products using the code "twitter". So I figured I'd give them a go.
So far, after two orders, I'm pretty pleased. The second order did take a day longer than the first to have processed before it shipped, but I knew from receiving my first order that they were a home-based, small time ordeal by the packaging the first case I ordered came inside (hand-written address and what-not).
Shipping took 3 days both times. I'm in VA, I think the company is in Jersey.
Fit - Fit's perfectly. It's not too tight like the hard plastic cases out there, and it's not loose at all, nice and snug.
Protection - Not the best. You basically get outer case protection, and I would imagine that it's not as good as a hard plastic case.
Look - I bought the glossy black case, which I thought would be a dust and finger print magnet, but it's not too bad.... for dust that is. It does get smudges, but it's a case, I'm not too worried about it.
Overall - 7/10 Good buy for the price. You can get free shipping using the coupon code "twitter" at checkout.

I bought something similar called the Crystal Clear Case off of ebay. About the same price with the same checkerboard pattern on the back of it and I can tell you that it will turn yellow after a couple of months like old plastic does . It's not like a rich yellow but you can see where it starts tinting yellow. I didn't even bother asking for a replacement since it was through eBay and I don't think they'd do it anyways.
Well, GL.
I'm sure it could do that, It's very cheap. I'm buying a case mate case for my n1 after I have enough money to justify a $30 phone case lol

Actually i think the soft case would have better protection. hardcases just transmit the force right through with little dampening but the soft rubber/plastic would absorb a lot of the impact.
I like the tpu case more because the silicone stuff attracts lint and doesnt slide in and out pockets as well. They also dont stay on as well a a good tpu case.
i ordered one up also....great price $8.60 CAD includes shipping
Over been using this case for about a month now and I have nothing but great things to say about it. The fit is great and it doesn't add too much bulk. The argyle pattern on the back is beautiful too. I love the smoked color and how its partially see through which allows me to put my contact information on a sticker on the phone and have it show through; 100000X better than an engraving. And you can't beat the price, I think mine was about 8 or 9 bucks with shipping!
I moved this over to the Samsung Vibrant Accessory thread, since I'm only shipping to the US

I have the black coloured version here, bought from a local shop. I can say I like the case a lot - its less grippy when I put it into my pocket than other silicone cases, and the case itself is a shade less bulky than another silicone case I've had. The colour fits in well with the phone as well, it doesn't stand out as a case like some others do.
One thing that bugs me about it though, is that the volume/power buttons are a little difficult to press, as the material used is quite stiff compared to the other soft silicone cases. Still, I prefer this case to any other I've tried

TPU and Silicone each have their pros and cons. I use a TPU case on my EVO and love it. In fact 10 minutes ago I dropped it on the concrete while walking my dogs-- second time thats happened now-- and it came out unscathed! If your having problems pressing buttons a nice fix is to put a little tape on the inside of the case directly where the buttons supposed to go. Got that tip from a XDA thread and it worked like a charm on my EVO for my stiff power button. I really dislike silicone as a case material, unless its a 2 part case that has a hard shell around it like the Speck CandyShell iSuck cases. The way silicone sags drives me nuts, and the lint collection is annoying too. It does provide nice shock absorption though. I think TPU does a good job of providing the best qualities of both the Silicone and Poly Carb materials. TPU will stay true to color longer too.. as a lighter color silicone will get dirty. TPU cases usually have lay-on-the-table protection, which is something you'll rarely find with a silicone case-- and thats a major deal breaker for me.
i already got the black version of those only cost me $2 on ebay shipping included

yes, shipped from China. I'm shipping these from the US, same day until 3:00pm. Not everyone wants to wait 2 weeks for a case, especially when your only saving a couple of bucks.
I'm using the RF one from BestBuy. I'm thinking of getting a cheap rubber one and seeing if I can cram the RF one in for actual protection lol. I'm curious, what are you using?
I just ordered one for my sons triumph on Amazon..its a rubberized plastic black one I do believe.. should be in sometime this week. Didn't really like the one from best buy & had a hard time finding a decent one because none of the ones I found shipped until the 15th but they're all pretty much the same.. and only like $6 or $7 bucks plus shipping. Probably not the best but its better than nothing...
I bought one of those $6 black silicone cases from eBay and I'm very happy with it. The power button is easier to press now and I don't accidentally hit the volume buttons all the time (though they're also easier to press when i need them.) I didn't have to cut anything like some people have reported, as all the mic/speaker/led holes are in their proper places. Quality is about on par with the [much more expensive] Marware case I have my old iPod in.
I don't like cases so I ordered a neoprene pouch off ebay.. it looks exactly like the one for the nexus one if you know what that looks like.. good to protect the phone when it's in my pocket

I went ahead and slurged for the Rocket Fish case over the weekend, pretty happy with it: nice, tight fit and adds very little bulk to the phone. The phone still fits in my leather belt pouch. The case rounds out the Triumph's corners and gives the phone a surer grip. I am much more comfortable carrying my $300 phone around now and I'm very glad I bought the case.
I still wish that Otterbox would come out with a case for us, but the Rocket Fish will do for now.
Motorola Triumph Rubberized Hard Protector Case - Smoke Diagonal Checker
I can't post a link due to me being a new member but search " Motorola Triumph Rubberized Hard Protector Case - Smoke Diagonal Checker " on Amazon.
I received the shipment on time as the order said it would. I opened the mail package to find a very sturdy case with a comfortable soft touch with a bit of grip. Not too much grip that will make it grip to anything; additionally, exactly enough comfort to feel durable and comfortable at the same time. I expected a cheap plastic case with no grip. I am very surprised from the seller on such a great price and product quality. Highly recommend this to first time buyers, or to whom loves their phone enough to spend $4 on keeping the phones appearance and quality at a high rate. Kudo's to the seller. =]

I have the same one.

Mine was only $3 and i really like it. Easy to take off, really sticky and protective.
I bought two cases off amazon, both of the same brand from different sellers. The transparent smoke plastic case is crap. The black plastic is very nice, it feels stiff, it's just tacky enought to give it a good grip but not stick in your pocket, and its got a bit of springiness to it. Not bad for 5 clams. I'm sure an otterbox would be a lot nicer and tougher, but spending 40 bucks on a case to protect a 220 dollar phone? No.
i am using nillkin tpu case with free mofi pouch，I can insert my phone with tpu case into pouch.i like it
Motorola WX435 Triumph Rubberized Shield Hard Case - Neon Green
Bought it on Amazon.
Snaps right on the phone, is snug and sturdy
TCP gel cover. On my infuse and the rest of my family use it aswell. Very good quality.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
The case I use
I use the Rocket Fish case. I have dropped the phone like 15 times, and the phone is still fine. All the case seems to do is prevent cosmetic damage. The phone is solid as, excuse the pun, a brick.
I am using a cheap black silicone rubber case I found on eBay.
iPhone Trash
I am so sick of ipone this, iphone that. Everybody makes sweet cases for the iphone but leave out the android guys for some reason. Can't these manufacturers think outside of the apple bullcrap. I guess not, that's why android users are stuck with cheap lazer printed plastic junk that wears off within a few days of handling the case. Oh well, I am still a happy android user. till next time.

the thing is, with iPhone's they only have to make 1 to 2 depending on how they make the cutouts (since cdma and gsm versions have a bit different button placement). With android there are 30+ phones for every version of the iPhone. And prepaid carriers usually don't get the best of the cases... At least zagg makes screen protectors for every or near every recent android phone. It would be nice if they made a case for each phone, but that doesn't happen.
I have a pretty good case on my Triumph, it's a snap on but it's durable & don't look bad either.
Honestly, I've been using mine without any kind of case, and it's great! I've owned several phones and an Ipod touch before this that were awful without cases due to the shells being slippery, but the Triumph has a grippy rubberized exterior that feels great in the hand. Unless you drop your phone a lot, I wouldn't bother with a case.
I got a Fosman hard rubberized for like 3 bucks shipped from ebay. Great case for the money and like previously posted a 40 buck otterbox on a $220 phone is a bit of overkill.
I use the Black (Argyle Interior) TPU Crystal Silicone Case Cover For Motorola Triumph on for about 5 bucks. I have dropped the phone a few times and have no dings or scratches anywhere. It is thin enough to not affect the size of the phone and does it's job. I would recommend it over the silicone cases or even the snap on cases.
Whatever one is the cheapest at any online retailer. I would not buy one for .01, mind you, as those are most likely scams! But anything from a reliable retailer at a low price (I replace my generic ones every couple of months).
Got the phone as a gift and I'd like to put it in a case. I will never use the keyboard and all of the cases are geared towards having the slide mechanism operational. I would like a case where I can just put the phone inside, doesn't matter to me if I won't be able to use the keyboard, something like a tpu case for non-keyboard phones.
Thanks
Here's what I use.....

Mytouch 4g case
I had the same problem on finding the right case, and to be honest, the Otterbox is one of the nicest and sturdy cases I've used. It isn't too bulky nor does it grip in your pocket. It's pretty good material also.
a $10 case perfect for me (access to usb and headphones ports) and ready for larger battery if I decide to get 3600mAh in the future :
PIC1
PIC2
PIC3
PIC4
I'm sure it can be found online for half that or less with free shipping from China, I just couldn't wait 3 weeks when I bought my phone
The trident case, or the fishbone case are the best options for this phone.

looks like a nice case! Still showing as $10 on the website as of 1/25/15.
I have this case, got it from moto with 30% off but definitely not as good as this price. I like the case a lot, doesn't add a lot of bulk and the power button even has ridges on it like the real button does. I have no issues with the buttons using this case and it has cutouts on the back for the two holes/speakers/mikes (whatever the two holes are).
If there is one complaint, I wish it was a little thinner but it is not a bulky case by any means. I just prefer very thin cases.
This is still $10 on the website, free ship!
