Can't you just turn the phone upside down from the photo? Usually they are a bit universal but if sound and power buttons are free... I'd like the strap at the bottom rather than the top of the phone anyway.
Yes but all openings are correct, so sound and camera size would mismatch
I have got the black one in first pic. Couldn't get the white one for my silver white Gio.
I got a silicone cover, i gues it already saved me already a couple of phones...............
Most of the gel cases on ebay fit perfectly.
I got one at bestbuy, works extremely well!
Is there another site with more accessories for the gio?
amazon has accessories for sale too.
hm..i was thinking to buy a silicon case can someone post some screenshots please?(those who have a case on their phone ofc)

Theres a lot of cases for example one for 2$ and some others for 8$-10$ per unit I bought one cheapest I think 1,8$ so I think I will get it soon but the quality will be poor I very want COMBO CASE just look for it in ebay it looks cool from screens

oh i see..nice
this cases looks pretty good! I was thinking to buy one, but I want to buy from a shop in my country...
I like the cases I find they make the phone easier to hold and protect it from drops and scratches. though they do make the device a bit bulkier.
I use this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-TPU-S...Accessories&hash=item27c53fc339#ht_3947wt_932
But my Gio sometimes shutdown because of over heating. That silicone can't let it breath

For Romania you can use okazii dot ro. You can find every thing you need there. Hope it helped.
not fond of that romanian site. had troubles with em in the past.
silicone cases aren't that good...
silicon case are good if you not play much because if you play gio heat and battery go down fast

So has anyone bought a silicon like case yet. I have been hoping someone would have put up a review for a case by now. So if you have bought a case for the aria where did u get it? And how good is it? Brand-name? Price? Etc.
Thanks in advance!

Got a case from at&t store its great in quality. already droped a few times with no issues. I think its the htc brand one. It cost like 20 bucks but its tougher and firmer than most silicon style cases ive seen. Also not as sticky as most so it slides in your pocket easier. Although its still sticky when its 92 degrees out like it was today.

The Amzer silicone one provides good protection but is bulky and does not fit snuggly on the phone. I could imagine the phone slipping out of the case to indicate how loosely it fits.
When I picked mine up from the AT&T store, they had a pretty nice soft shell case for $25. It was nice looking, fit the phone well (I almost couldn't get the thing off), and looked like it would provide decent protection. I skipped on buying it, however, since the price seemed a bit steep.
i just went to the ATT store today and they had a glossy black (maybe gunmetal) hard case for the aria, it was 25 bucks and i didnt feel like spending that much when i could get the same online for cheaper, but it did look nice.
didnt get a chance to put it on the phone though.
also, it was in a package that said soft case.
I love how this phone feels like it already has a case on it! I haven't dropped the phone (yet, thankfully) but If i did i would be too distraught. I just want to be able to buy a replacement back cover (OEM) for less than $30.

It's a nice hard-ish version of your typical silicone case. It's actually really good and sturdy and my only gripe is that it's a pain to unlock it.. so I use No Lock, which allows you to unlock the phone with any button...the optical touchpad has become my new best friend

The Amzer silicon case purchased actually says HD Mini on its packaging. It is quite a loose-fitting case. The one from AT&T, which is more of a plastic smoke translucent case, fits very snuggly with the only downside that it's $25. It says HTC on its back and the silver HTC logo of the phone itself shows through nicely.

I just bought my wife a case from pdair for the hd mini and it fits great. The have a number of good colors and its snug as a bug.
It's a very durable silicon skin. Comparable to the one from at&t but its actually easier to push the buttons with the pdair case. So its confirmed for me: hd mini cases work great for th aria.

Hum.. I'm thinking about picking one up. I wish Otterbox had a case for the Aria. I'm prone to dropping my phone, so I want something that will protect it from at least minor falls.
My box of Xperia Play didn't include a pouch so I must buy something to protect the phone.
I saw a cool plastic case: http://www.accessorygeeks.com/oem-t...-plastic-silicone-case-ag-xper-py-bk-blk.html and I thought it's good for me, but after a while I realised it turns the phone into a brick, something I don't really want to.
So then another option is to get a pouch, searched and found a few, but pretty expensive ($35 - $60). I just want something good, good looking and for a price of maximum $15.
Optional: An invisible screen protector which theoretical protects the screen for scratches.
I need some help here. What should I buy?
I don't know if you know this but, the Xperia Play comes with a preinstalled invisible screen protector. So you're half covered already.
I can't recommend you a case/pouch since I don't have one but I don't even want to know how bulky it'd be with one when it's on my pocket.
I got the official sony ericsson executive hardcase and i love it - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Ericsson-SMA7110-Executive-Xperia/dp/B004S5CP0Q
I don't really like the snap on case because I hate adding bulk to an already bulky phone and also I have the DK300 dock and it would require me to constantly take off the other cases.
I also bought the official pouch that came with the European models from here - http://www.netimes.com/shop/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-pouch-ca850-p-3255.html?cPath=70_808

Off-topic but how trustworthy is that site? I see they have a lot of accessories and ship worldwide, so far I've only used DealExtreme but they don't have many phone-specific stuff (except for the iphone).
Fast and efficient and supply tracked shipping.
I was amazed they had tracked shipping with signature approval for something that was just an envelope.
foofbag
Check this out: (google foofshop)
I bought my macbook sleeve/pouch from there a few years ago and it was awesome for keeping scratches off etc. Then When I got my play I measured up the iphone sizes for their iphone cases and on a whim just bought one to see if my would fit in it. was a bit tight at first but after a while it now fits as snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug! and it looks cool aswell, hardly adds any bulk and even if it does at least when I pull it out I don't look like I have a brick for a phone but just an awsome pouch/sleeve thing and i pop my phone out of. defo recomend.
So to make sure you guys are aware, if you're up for it, buy the iphone sized one, thats the one I got. They are designed to fit iphones but plays fit fine ;oP lol. They're Australian based but post all around the world, i got mine within a week in the UK.

I got the second one with my phone. I generally hate phone cases but this is nice since it's not making a brick out of phone and it's not taking away it's style. On the left is a cut-out so the headphones plug isn't covered, and it makes easier to take out the phone.
Pouch on first link is a bit ugly.
bought a cheapy gel case of Amazon and noticed there is not openings for the stereo speakers , I just looked at the case in post 1 and it has not speaker openings as well
This item, on ebay, has the speaker ports open, and is slimmer, and better than the Gel one I tried:
Search for that item number: 190527208284
I've got one of these, and it's well worth a few quid more.
Your case looks like the one i was going to order from Amazon for £2.99 , but is only £1.99
Thanks
John.

lol..It's a nice case, fits well, is slimmer than the crap one I had(prepaymania £2 gel case, and another from local phone shop, both identical to be honest), and I had given up on cases for it, as well, I thought most were the same(people even have issues with otterbox, etc..)
It's semi transparent, and it allows the sliding motion well, better than the other two I tried, i felt they were prising the phone apart, but this one isn't an issue.
well worth £1.99, IMO.

Imperial Hard Case Super Slim Black
Looks like a decent enough case, protects the back mainly, and looks very thin

http://www.italkonline.co.uk/imperial-hard-case-super-slim-black-samsung-i9100-galaxy-p-18107.html
STK Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 TPU Case / Black
Not sure about this one, resembles the Neo Hybrid in a way, just doesn't have sperate layers.
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/23551468/-/Product.html
Think im gunna take a gamble on the Italk one. Thin around the back, has holes in all the correct places. Looks like ir protects the phone when its turned over.
For £4.96 you can't go wrong really!
It's hard to tell from the photos whether it really does protect the front of the phone (when you place it face down). I'd be interested in what you find!
Yeah, i know what you mean. To be fair. I nver plce my phone screen way down anyway!
Came this morning, Looks promising.
Will upload pics etc in few hours
First impressions are its very nice and slim!
Cant hardly tell its there!
Pros
Slim
Feels nice
Doesn't look cheap
Gives sight screen potection (I mean slight, 1mm tops)
Cons
Doesn't give much protection to Camera
Buttons on side could irritate some people.
To be fair, i wanted a slim case, which this is. I dont intend to launch my phone around, i always place it down back first.
Ill try and add some pics of the phone in the case soon.
Shots of the phone in the case.
I apologise in advance, The worst digital camera i've ever seen used in my life!
Gives you a rough idea, if your sat here now thinking, should I, Shouldn't I buy one. Go ahead and do it! You won't be dissapointed for £4.95
Also available on eBay for about £3
Feels rather weird having this case on, been use to thickness and the lip over on the Neo Hybrid!
How's the grip with this case?
Yeah, its alright, feels nice in the hand.
Honestly its a really nice case for £4.95, or £3 on ebay.
You wont be dissapointed!
Do you have the link to the ebay one?

For a temp case it's bang on. Fits fine. Not too ugly. Dead cheap. £1.89 total price paid, shipped same day in a plain small jiffy bag.
Don't think there are any premium options at this stage either. The Casemate gear advertised on MobileFun and Expansys isn't in yet.

I am using exactly the sam case, it seems to be of decent enough quality. All the right holes in right places and right size. Like you say it fits absolutely perfect. I particuly like the bits over the power and volume buttons and the texture for extra grip. This case is an absolute bargain costing me less than £2
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Got the same case as op bought off ebay all of the cases looked exactly the same.
why are all these cases making access holes for the dock connectors, when if you have a case on your phone, it will no longer sit in the dock?
I got this case in the post today and it fits perfectly.
Not too shabby for a temp case. Definately makes the phone easier to hold. Doesnt feel like its gonna slip out my hand anymore!
Think I am going to have to get a few.
Another positive experience here. Mine arrived today. Phone feels so much more solid in the hand. Thanks for the tip.
mine arrived today. Used link from the OP. Well pleased with the fit and look of the case for the price. The added grip is also MUCH appreciated!
Thanks again to the OP.

I guess there could be third-party docks that can fit the GN with a case on. Just need to make the fit loose enough and have long pogo pins.
Ive got the same case too and can confirm its a great fit and will do me until a proper good case comes out.
Quick update ... a few days in (and several times taken off and put back) and it hasnt stretched or warped at all ! very impreesive for the money
ive bought cheap covers before and usually regretted it but this ones a keeper
Hello, I have been searching for a while for the best case and purchased several cases, and I think for me, the pop case is the best of all. (I have some TPU cases from amazon, case mate tough case, and pop case ( I wanted to try the otterbox, but after using the pop case I am going to just use this case)
Picture qualities are pretty bad, but it gives pretty good idea how it looks life overall. I have a white one, and it really makes my Gnex much more fancy and its really rugged with dual protection, so no worries about dropping the phone. All the buttons works perfectly all ports are working great as well.
Does it add much bulk? I'm looking to get it.

I wonder if it works with the exttended battery?? Looks good
Yes it does fit very well with the extended battery. USB charger is not an issue if you have one that fits. Looks like Casemate removed the Pop and Tough case from their website. Could it be because they are looking into these issues?

sorry mine is GSM and have no extended battery.
You can find them on eBay in Black, White and Pink. $28 and free shipping. Just search "galaxy case-mate pop!". I ordered the Black but it hasn't arrived.
My Case Mate Pop case is arriving today as well, if you are looking to buy it for $16! check this company out shipping is dirt cheap as well from them. http://www.thecellguru.com/Phones/Samsung/Galaxy_Nexus/Cases
I got the black one, great fit, great protection, great case. Bit of a bugger to get off in a rush though !
How is it pressing the power button and the volume rocker is it easy or do you really have to press it in to get the effect?
Easy peasy to press power and / or volume buttons. I sent back a case mate tough as I couldn't activate the buttons freely enough, the case mate pop is much much better, just a bit of a pain to get off
I just got my white pop case today. I am using it with the extended battery on the verizon cdma version. The case is amazing! Great protection, doesn't add much bulk, buttons work great, fits perfect with the extended battery, adds extra grippyness. Highly recommend. I got mine on ebay as well.
I can verify that the STOCK cable for the VERIZON GNEX does NOT fit the port in the case. I got the black/grey case today from my local Verizon store for $19.99.
My old HTC cable from my EVO 3d does fit though.

jeez the Pop case winds up covering one of the mics? that's kind of a downer... wish I came here prior to purchasing the case on Amazon especially since it's supposedly arriving today.
Is there a hole for the camera microphone? Seems like the Barely There and Tough case has a hole for it, but not the Pop! case.
