I've had my Bionic since September. I'm unrooted on .905 so no Roms. No case or screen cover, but I use a holster for the phone. I also have the Motorola Extended Battery.
Many of the apps I have are holdovers from my OG Droid. Too many to post but I suggest you look at
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/motorola-droid-bionic/217073-app-help.html and
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...-if-you-could-only-have-recommend-5-apps.html
One app worth mentioning is
GSam Battery Monitor (recommended by
FoxKat) which sits on the Notifications Bar. When you pull the bar down you see the battery temperature and time left. Pressing that will have a lot more information. It also gives you the battery percentage in single digits.
Another is
System Panel. It gives you a lot of information about your phone.
You may also want to consider going over to Amazon.com and downloading their App Store, well app (be sure to allow downloading from outside sources first). Every day they give away a paid app for free. Many will be those you'd never touch even if free, but there are gems. For example, they had
QuickOffice Pro, a $14.95 app, for free.
As for widgets the only ones I'll mention is
Beautiful Widgets,
Switchpro and
ColorNote.
Switchpro is like your power strip, but you can add things to control (up to 7) and have a choice of 21 things.
ColorNote is like a Post-It on your screen.
I'm running pretty much stock so no launchers.
