Green Androidified A2 Case for HTC Droid DNA
by CruzerLite
I don't normally promote accessories I buy, but I'm going to start so it hopefully answers other's questions. So I bought this case earlier in the week since i work in a dirty and hazardous (to phones) area. I have to keep my phone on me but i always run the risk of dropping it or crushing it. I can't stand using a large bulky case such at the Defender series even though they are robust and perfect for where i work. I like to keep my phone in my pocket so a slim case is perfect. I tried using a skin but i still wanted that extra guard from a rubber case. This case is very tight. Could have been because i have a carbon skin on my phone already but i definitely liked how it fit on the phone. I also had to be very careful cause the corners took the screen protector off. It didn't have raised buttons on the case which was a downfall as it would make it a bit more functional for the average user. However, most DNA users will ether have the USB cover broken off or will use a wireless charger. My wireless charger worked perfect with this case as well.
If you want a case similar to this then go for it. i have no complaints

Is it any easier to press the volume, lock buttons than without the case since it outlines where they are?
I find it easier to find the buttons cause of the ouline of the case. But no easier to push them, about the same effort.

I also have this case and I would agree with your assessment. The volume buttons are about the same to press, a little easier to find due to the cutout. The power button is still hard to hit and probably a little harder, I would have liked raised buttons.
I am a repeat customer of Cruzerlite for a reason. Quality and value, and this case is no different than their other products. It is very sleek and slides in and out of my pocket with ease. It does not attract pocket lint either. The back is clear and you can see the notification led through the case. I also like how Andy is on the back instead of some cheezy argyle pattern. Also it does not leave marks like the Verizon tpu case does, which I also own. My only niggle is I wish the cut out for the volume and power buttons were not cut out, as I feel like it does make it easier to push the buttons as they are really flush. The vzw case doesnt have the volume cut outs but its not a deal breaker by any means. At least the holes are big enough to smash your thumb through.

I'm a big Jacksonville Jaguars fan (yeah I know they forever suck) and the teal cruzerlite case looked pretty sick on my Rezound. I got a demo unit for DNA in green and I really hope they seal in the volume rocker port like the vzw tpu case its much better because how flush the buttons are. Also the power button sealed in would be nice. I would buy several cases if they did a revision until then I am sticking with the blue tpu from vzw.

It just came to me, lol it was a good idea. Stolen
Just got mine delivered buy 2 got 1 free. Red, black and clear. Love the case, but it doesn't ,"share" nicely with my zagg screen protector. The shield bubbles up on the sides. But I do love the case, adds virtually no bulk to the phone and feels great in my hand!

Hello all. Today I will be reviewing the Cruzer Lite Androidified High Gloss TPU Clear Case for the Motorola Droid Razr.
Initial impressions:
The Cruzer Lite Androidified case is made out the same TPU material most of us have come to love. It it covered in little android robots and is very flexible. There was no excess materials that I could find hanging off of it and all the cut outs look very clean.
Case design:
Design wise the case is a glossy TPU finish. It is all smooth with out any raised grip surfaces. There are cut out for the USB, HDMI and 3.5mm head phone jack on top. The Power button is also cut out and the volume rocker is covered. The LTE and micro SDHC card port is covered by the case, so to access them you will have to remove the case. There are also cutouts for the camera/flash and speaker on the back. The back microphone opening is also uncovered. The android robot is on the inside of the case so it will not rub off. Because of the design you can not see the Kevlar weave on the back which is a shame since it is an one off design feature of the phone.
Case functionality:
Grip wise the case is like most of your other standard TPU cases. It is very comfortable to hold and I have no problems holding it with sweaty hands. The power button is easily pushed and is very easy to find without looking at it since it has a cut out. The volume rockers also respond very nicely when pushed. I have no problems plugging in my USB cable to charge the phone and the headphone jack access allows for most headphones to be used. You can lay the phone screen side down since the case raises the screen up off the surface.
Conclusion:
I love the design of the android army on the case. The issue without having access to the micro SDHC card will vary with the user but was a non issue with me. The case has plenty of grip and adds minimal bulk to the phone. It is a great case design and is a great conversation starter. I have not tested this case with any docks, so I do not know if it will fit in those devices while on the phone.

I have been looking for a case for my RAZR but haven't found one. I like this one but have a question. Will the phone fit in the docking station without removing the case? If not, how difficult is the case to get on and off? Thanks

Not sure it will fit on the docking station but it is not hard to take off.
What is the screen protector you have on there? Steinheil? The case along with that awesome screen protector make it look Razr sharp!
No screen protector on there, just the case.
Just got this case in the mail. Ordered it from Amazon and it shipped pretty fast. I'll reserve full judgment until after I've used it for a while.
But on first impressions it is pretty impressive. This is my first TPU case, but it seems better than the silicone glossy case I got at launch from Verizon. It is not as grippy as an Otterbox Defender case but certainly more grip than an Otterbox Commuter series (worst case I've tried) and a naked Razr. And it feels a little more grippy than the Verizon silicone case. Plus this TPU case is incredibly slim and light. And, might I add, this is my favorite looking of all the cases I've tried so far.

Recived my Cruzerlite Clear gloss TPU case today.
Nothing but good things to say. Fits snug where it wont fall off but not so snug you can't get it off when you want too. The cutouts for the power button, camera, speaker, and mic are perfect. The volume rockers are covered, but are easily adjustable through the case.
Looks great as well. I'd reccomend this case to anyone, as I plan on picking up a few more(different colors).
Awesome deal as well for only 10 bucks and change on amazon.
4 out of 4 stars for me!
Great job Cruzerlite!
As a matter of fact I just ordered 3 more Cruzerlite TPU Razr cases from amazon using the buy 2 get 1 free promotion. Now I have a blue, red ,and a green one on the way.
The other three skins arrived today.
They look great!

Just got two of these after seeing that the guy that makes (designs them) them actually is on XDA a lot and was very helpful while NOT hocking his product everywhere.
*UPDATED*
Originally the case covered part of the upper mic. I just removed the upper portion of the case and realigned it so the mic was centered when I re-attached that case. To easy. That was really the only draw back I had.
Pro's
1- Delivery was fast
2- Case was cheap (9$)
3- Shipping was (5$ for both)
4- Case is VERY low profile
5- Mat Black is oh so smooth and the front rim is a nice glossy black with more grip to it. This is nice as it makes it easy to hang on to.
6- Back design icon is cool looking
7- Kick stand still easy to access
8- Nice port access
9- Doesn't pull my Zagg Invishield HD screen cover off
10- Easy to get on and off
11- Doesn't scratch my phones finish
12- VERY light weight
13- Mat black with red highlights of the phone looks very sexy and pro
14- phone still fits in my pocket easily and doesn't collect dust etc.
15- Snug fit on the phone
16- Bezel is high enough on the front that my phone screen doesn't touch anything when laid on its face.
17- Camera is protected by slight bezel around it.
18- No "case buttons"...you still access the phones buttons which are nice
Con's
1- Power button is a little hard to depress initially but this is because the button is so high on the phones profile. Case flexes to alleviate this after a few uses though. I don't think this is the cases fault
2- Not many styles - My wife liked the Green Cruizer Lite better but not that much better. The android pattern on those cases looked cool but I don't know...after a while I do like the professional and sleek design of the Diztronic better. Plus the Cruizer Lite *looked* a little more bulky
mind attaching a pic?
shipping is only 2.50 on his ebay page.
good review
wish it came with a screen protector (thought it did bc it did with other phones, but it didnt).
note: you can readjust the case starting from the top of the phone to align the mic you said was covered. i noticed it blocked mine after reading your review so i took it off and readjusted the case and it doesnt cover it anymore
Mine doesn't block the upper microphone at all?
Neither does mine. Every port lines up perfect, just like on my RAZR Maxx and EpTouch cases.

IDIOT! (Napoleon Dynamite voice)
Yeah I didn't even have to take the whole thing off...fix and looking perfectly.
*Updated Review*
Got mine in today and it fits nicely and looks good, I just have one main complaint about it....should of covered the buttons...after holding it in hand those holes in the case on the sides get annoying to me, and the thin strip where the volume rocker is, is so flimsy im almost scared it might stretch too much over time, or break...havent had a TPU case with buttons covered that the function was more difficult than the phone without the case on, so dont really see the reasoning why to leave them open now...
to each their own though i guess...
I received my cases as well today. Originally I liked the high gloss translucent one best because it just looks really sharp. After just a couple of hours though, it was covered in smudges and fingerprints(like anything glossy).
The fit on both of the cases I received are spot on. Snug fit, all my buttons/openings line up perfectly, and doesn't add much bulk. Simply great cases for the cost.
I will be sticking with the matte black one for the foreseeable future based on just the smudge factor.
Got to tell you - after listening to so many recommendations from the group here I decided to get the case and boy, I am so glad I did.
The case is snug with minimal footprint, all cut outs match perfectly (prefer this from covered) and the flat black matte just compliments the Evo. The kickstand is also easily accessible and it got here ahead of schedule..
Two thumbs up!
Got my case today as well. Now only if I had the phone to put it in....

Yeah case looks good overall, though I wish they had a version that covered the buttons and port so that the phone would be more water resistant (read: not waterproof, but at least ports/button holes would be protected from drippy hands at the least). Also, as people mentioned, it would be easier to precisely hit the various buttons if they weren't beneath the lip of the case.
With such a beautiful phone, I really dont want to cover it up. I bought a very minimal case but I'm not sure if I will use it or not. Its also a big phone so it may be easy to fumble so even though I have never dropped a phone, the thought of having that case on there for the what if moment.
So are you going to go Naked or is the security of having a case more important to you?
With the exception of a snack size Ziploc bag to keep dust out at work I always go naked and haven't had any problem yet but I hope to keep this phone for a while so I have been shopping around for the perfect case
I have a full body set of Xtreme Guard protectors on it, basically a cheap Zagg without the orange peel.
I would love to go naked but because its such a beautiful phone i need some protection. So ill be using a case thats got minimal protection but still keeps it nice and thin

That is what I have ordered as well. Can't go wrong. Ordered a full body set and a spare screen protector.. Used Zagg on my iPhone 4 and the orange peel was horrible.
I have an Infuse 4G car dock.. so can't add too much of a case without making that no longer work.. (although I am going to likely modify the holder a bit and see if I can make it work with a case.. will see)
I am assuming that the 3rd party accessories will start appearing soon.. some pretty nice cases.. the phone I find is a bit smooth and hard to hold onto.. nearly dropped it a couple of times.

I would never do that in my life, all my previous phones were protected by full body protectors and TPU or silicon cases. When I get this device nothing will change, I don't take no chances with stuff like this; GSIII deserves to be protected IMO.

I have a invisi shield on mine fitted specifically for the gs3. i like that alot. keeps the big nice screen protected and scratch free. The back of the phone also has the invisi-shield on it. Im currently shopping around for cases to add to the protection also. I have a tendency to lap my phone when getting out of the car. Its the only time my phone has a chance to touch the ground. You can Never get to much protection. i would hate myself forever if i destroyed this beautiful machine
I'm naked at the moment with pebble blue and I like the color now, I usually don't put cases on my phone but don't feel like paying for insurance so I got a tpu case from amazon it should be here this week, will see how I like it

I went naked on my Captivate for 2 years. It has a few dings and scratches, but nothing on the screen.

I'd suggest searching for J Butterfly cases, since the DNA specifically doesn't have that much stuff out for it. A search on rakuten for "htc j butterfly case" brings up two that are a bit expensive (about $45 base) but stylish.
Hope that helps!
To bring this old topic back up. I have found a leather flip case for the DNA. Nillkin makes it. They come in 3 different colors: black, red, and gray.

Yes exactly that. More than willing to pay more though. Nobody makes them that's the issue.

If not leather maybe like a political prisoner?
Its a decently nice case for the price. Fits very well. Not slopply put together. It looks like it would be sued but doesn't have the same feel. I say its well worth the $15. I do wish they would make nicer more expensive cases but its not an iPhone so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Observations thus far from owner
I just got the grey one in the mail yesterday and truly, I'm rather undwhelmed. Here are some observations from the past 12+ hours.
1. Case does NOT feel like leather at all as posted previously. Kinda cheap honestly.
2. The cover does not secure itself at all. It kinda just flaps in the wind and slides all over the place. The cover itself seems to be a bit big for the phone itself. Holding the cover tightly to the phone screen leaves 1/8 inch or so hanging off the side. If I set the phone down with the screen up and nothing on top of it, the cover just flaps open. This could be potentially be self-adjusting with use and having the case "break-in" but I have seen other flip covers that did not require this break-in period.
3. The case makes the buttons (power, volume +/-) more difficult to press. The case has proper cut-outs but the cut-outs could have been a bit larger to allow for easier access to the buttons. I really have to get my fingertip into the cut-out to operate the buttons.
I understand that the overall cost of the case was pretty low and people will state that "you get what you pay for" but I had previously purchased the Nillikin slim case in brown and I think I will be going back to that one. The slim case was a measly 8 bucks or so and doesn't have the flip cover, but the overall construction, feel and function of that one seems far superior.
/end $0.02
How about some pictures?
everybody should Email Poetic and beg for a slim line leather flip case.
For anyone that needs a case until sprint or best buy gets some in this is a solid case I got from t-mobile they also had a body glove case as well

Last night I got the only case available at the closest T-Mobile store. It's from Tech21 and cost $35, with a nice grippy texture & "D3O impact material".
Meh.
Here's a picture taken with my nexus 10 that might show the poor fit at the side of the screen.

That extra shiny edge at the right is the silver frame/side of the Note 3.
I'll probably return it today because the sides flex too much & I'm afraid it'll screw up a screen protector.
It also makes the phone a little harder to fit in some pockets because of the combination of added bulk & drag from the texture.
I'll try to get something with a TPO inner layer and enough plastic on the outside to not drag too badly going into a pocket. That might be like looking for a unicorn since there are so few cases available right now, and almost none I can see in person.

I have same case as well. It's very slim.
I got that case too for now, it fits perfectly if you squeeze in all around as it molds to the phone a little bit and you won't see any gap afterwards. If it was clear and not smoky I would keep it, there are alternatives on Amazon for 1/3rd the price. Not that I mind spending 35 dollars for a case but not one so simple, give me a slim fit Speck or BodyGlove with a kickstand and I'm all over it and they usually go for 25 -35 dollars.
Tech21
I bought one these also for TMO note 3 until they start pushing out some other choices.

OK, I returned the Tech 21 case and they showed me another that came in today. It was by Bodyglove, the same price, made of shiny black TPU. It felt good on the phone and had a good grip in the hand. The sides felt a little stiffer than the first on, EXCEPT at the buttons. Above the buttons the TPU flexed way too much. I'm pretty sure it'll rub at the edge of a screen protector, maybe enough to make the screen protector lift.
I'll just have to wait on a Slim Armor, or something else with a hard shell over a soft liner.

I ended up buying the body glove for now, and so far its pretty good, I can't wait for my UAG case to come in though.
I bought this a temporary, and it's not that great imo , as the power button is pretty hard to depress.
I also bought this as a "temporary case" and actually like it as well-- much slimmer than I thought it would be. I also like the "grippy" material on the back that doesn't slide around in my car. I had the "official" samsung case on my note 2, and that thing would fly across my car/lap/seat any time I made a turn.
Look forward to seeing other options come out though. Great job by Tech21, imo.
