Hi
Well, no doubt that the Arc\S is a beautiful device.
Do you keep it save with a cover? or do you fully enjoy its beauty and walking around 'naked'?
I use an hard silicon cover.

No cover just sony case with screen protector

Naked !!!!
Both my Xperias (Xperiae?) go caseless.
actually i prefer naked, so the phone still stay super-slim and feels good in hand.
but, without any case, back cover can easily get soft-scratches.
Since a very expensive droppage incident a few years ago with a previous phone, I would literally never leave the house without a gel case on my smartphone now. Bulk-wise it adds practically nothing (still easily and comfortably fits in my pocket) and it has already no doubt saved my phone from housing cracks (or worse). I bought one for my girlfriend's phone and she doesn't always use it - guess what, her phone has cracks, scuffs and dents, mine looks practically brand new. I know others will disagree, but IMHO it doesn't spoil the looks of the phone at all.
Mine looks a lot like this, except it's matt rather than shiny and (importantly for the Arc, or you get photo problems) the camera and flash are not in separate cut outs.

Me too. The back texture feels so nice.
TPU case (Cyan Color) look good and match with JB color/theme.
I just googled Arc TPU case and this came up. I really don't think I'd be brave enough to pull out my phone in the pub if it was wearing one of these!
I use a clothed case for my Xperia Pro. I cant stand leather and metal cases. this one suits me just fine.
I use this case
iparadise.com.au/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-case-cover/852-sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-black-circle-tpu-case.html
Although I'd prefer the case to be plain, without those circles! I love this case, it enhances my grip and fits very well to the phone, unlike other cases I own.
The main reason is my Arc S to be drop-safe. Last week it fell off from at about 1.50 m into tough ground and nothing happened thanks to the soft cover. I don't want to imagine what would have happened without this case.
Unti recently I always had my Arc in the stock original case that came with it, and used a screen protector.
Now I don't use any case at all. Arc has such a great design that it's a pitty to have it in a case/cover. The screen protector remains though.
I have green Teracell case, it looks awesome on my white Arc S
Bought a leather flip case for my Arc S today.
Disabled the hardware buttons on the front and started using the onscreen buttons, the case presses home button quite easy, so screen turned on often. Doesn't happen anymore
Found a pic on Google, too lazy to make one myself.
I always have a Gel case on my phone. I have a white phone, and I would want it to be that way for years to come.

I'm having some real trouble deciding on a case. I've never used a clip on hard case or any body glove thing for any previous phone cause some people said they damage the phone if it gets dust. I also feel a lot more safe with something covering the screen like with a flip top or a decent leather pouch.
I'm an IT tech and do mostly call out or field work so I'm not always in a hazard free office environment. Something can knock against my pocket or I'll be under a dirty desk etc.
I can fairly easily get hold of a casemate or an otterbox. is this and a screen guard enough or should I be thinking of a leather case? I can get a PDair flip style but not sure I like it from the pics I've seen. I really like the look of the zenus style ones I've seen in a few other threads. Only thing is something like that I need to order from oversea or eBay and will take a while to get to me (I'm in south Africa)
Am I just paranoid because of the screen being left bare ?

I had the barely there case on my previous Galaxy s and bought another for my s2. I only had it a day or two and thought it did not do enough to satisfy me that my phone would be protected. The corners are pretty exposed and the screen completely so.
I bought a flip over case from ebay, unable to do a link to it but if you search for
BLACK REAL LEATHER CASE FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY S 2 II i9100 on ebay it will hopefully show you the one i am talking about.
It is extremely low profile, does not add much bulk at all to your phone but i feel totally confident now with my phone when out and about. Feel as if it could survive a drop from a decent height easily. I preferred this case to others as it only has a small magnetic catch at the top holding it shut (effectively) rather than a big catch overlapping and catching when i put it in my pocket. I am sure there must be something similar, closer to home for you. Good luck.
I got a PDair flip-it leather case and i'm pretty cool with it. I also put a screen protector and ta da my phone seems pretty much safe. Since the phone is really thin, i'm more confident when holding the phone with this case and it feels like i'm holding my ex phone HTC Touch HD, acceptable thickness for me. I'll upload some pic as soon as i charge my Touch HD, don't have any other camera around right now

If you're planning on using a case that effectively doubles the size of your handset while making a call you might as well just get a DynaTAC.
Get a flip style case with express shipping.
Zenus has diary series too. Highly recommended.
i got the official samsung leather flip and its very good IMO it doesnt add to much bulk aswell
I thought a Flip Top Case will be a perfect one to protect the device and purchased one, pricey one I should say, but now, after a week, I am bored, this thing is a PITA. Receiving the Case Mate Tough on Monday, won't use the current one anymore, damn protection

I decided to give this a try after reading your post. The company here does not have the otterbox cases in stock yet. The Pdair one is almost half the price anyways. If I really dont like it or feel I need something else then i'll get the otterbox also.
I also ordered an SGP oleo screen protector from the SGP store. Will post some pics when I recieve the case. Should take about 10 days.
Thanks for the advice guys!
Picked up one of these cases from ebay;
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/180931774909?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1503wt_770
and I have to say it, for what it's made for, is great! Now, I don't drop my phone a whole heck of a lot, so I wasn't looking for something to protect it against constant drops. What I wanted was something to protect the back/sides against scratches/nicks when it is in my pocket. And this does exactly that. It's super thin, which is noticeable when coming from other cases. The fact that it is opaque means that the design of the phone is pretty much intact. Which is great for this phone, since it is quite good looking to begin with. One added bonus, the case does have a very small lip to it which protects the screen when putting the phone down, face down.
If you are looking for an inexpensive case to do the basics(protect from scratches, minor drops, look good, have all buttons/ports easily accessible), then I would suggest this case.
any pictures of your s3 with it? the ebay pics aren't cutting it for me
does it cover the entire bottom of the phone?

FYI:
opaque: Not able to be seen through; not transparent.
transparent: Allowing light to pass through so that objects behind can be distinctly seen.
this case is semitransparent to get technical.. not opaque.

I'm currently using a standard black soft case but am looking for a change of pace.. What are you guys using? What works well for you?
Well, im using a pretty cheap one with kickstand which i really like. Found it on ebay at about USD$7.00. Its double layered, and protects the phone A LOT. Im also using a Zagg Screen Protector too. I want to keep my phone as close to new as possible.
Yeah i hear ya lol i got mine for cheap on ebay too, i have an iphone screen protector on LOL it fits because well... the ENTIRE iphone is the size of our screen *flex* but anyway

Consist of two parts
Has a rotating clip that can be converted to a stand
And the sliding parts that house the phone can be inserted in both sides if you want the screen to be inside and protected.

Q&A or Accessories would have been the correct sub-forum for this thread, maybe a mod will move it for us.
I started with a OB Defender, moved to the Trident Kraken, and now I use the OB Commuter. I also have a skin that is made for a 3rd party extended battery, but I have never used the battery or skin.
OB and trident are so expensive lol i feel like any hard case would be fine.. i dont drop my phone lol and $50 is pretty crazy...
I have this case:

Along with a white Fantom tempered glasss screen protector:

Love the combo; looks sweet, quite safe, and an unexpected side effect: the ladies dig it.

Well.. It depends. If you drop your phone right now and bust the screen you are going to spend way more fixing it. If you drop/scratch/ding your body/screen but dont break it then you are stuck looking at a flawed/ugly phone. With OB or Trident you are most likely not going to have these problems. I have dropped mine over and over but under the case is a flawless phone that looks like it just came out of the box. And under my ZAGG is a screen that has never been touched by a human finger. When I go to sell it, the price will reflect that.
Additionally the port covers are a must for me and are mostly only found on those cases. Just search for the threads on "wont charge / usb not working / etc". My old roommate had to send hers in for a replacement because of issues with the charging port.
You get what you pay for, for sure.
I use the Rearth Ringke Slim, and the Ringbo screen protector from the same company. The case is very slim and low profile, but probably doesn't offer the best protection from a major drop.

Hi guys,
Just wanted to write a quick review of a case I bought on eBay
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190823724544?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Fits all variants of the OG except for the AT&T OG (8MP camera)
Very good for $7 ($3.50 each) - I bought the black and blue.
Cutouts for camera / flash / speakers / ports well done.
Cut out for 3.55m jack more than enough to accommodate jacks with the big outer shell, if you know what I mean.
Case fits very well. No chance of falling out.
Installation was very easy.
The finish on the back feels good to the touch and rubbery side grips are good, much better than the nude slippery glass of the OG to hold now lol.
If you want a cheap case that covers the back & sides, this is the one to go to. Good for Aussies who are looking for a case!
Here's some pictures I took of it

Yeh I bought this case in a local mall close by to me.. Was surprised to see it considering the lack of cases available. Have had it on my G for the past few months and its been a treat.. Actually have dropped my phone twice with it on and its been perfect so far
My only gripe is that the elevated edges makes my screen get dirtier faster and makes it harder to clean.. Otherwise its a great case
Oooo I like the purple colour in the auction pics, but then they have a video of some silicon cases and they look ugly as and really transparent? Wonder if they would ship to NZ
im using the same case but a transparent 1 :laugh: got it FOC from the stall
L-01E
Do you guys think this could fit a Japanese-spec OG; an L-01E?
Would it rip into the sceen protector and cause bubbles like most of my other cases?
Nope.using this case since i bought the phone.i like it because it's protecting the silver frame.

Just got me a black and blue one, perfect, except the buttons are a bit touchy but you get that.
I've got this tpu case and it shows a smooth finish, the holes are really well done, but I fell the buttons a bit dull, I don't know how to explain. For example, I have some difficulty to take screenshots pressing the Vol Down and Power buttons at the same time. Power button is not so easy to use.
This case looks like to offer a very good protection to the phone. I hope I won't need to prove it...

I have the same case (black). I love it. Fits perfectly. Recently I accidentally dropped my phone on a concrete surface. If I was without a case, the glass or the metalic part were goners. But with this case it was fine. Just wiped the dust.

Hey, fellow Vancouverite here... Can you give me a hint where you found it locally? I know it's been a while since your post, but who knows... I have another case, but wouldn't mind getting this one, as this is exactly what I used for my SGS2, and I loved it. Thanks in advance!
I use this tpu case.
it offers good protection in falls, great price.
What type of protective case you use or anything to protect your Xperia M.
I use an anti-oil, anti-scratch and anti-UV light protection screen.
For the back cover, I go for headcase designs' backcovers. There's a lot of them on ebay for the C1905 version. It's compatible with all Xperia M variants and it's solid, really well made. Personally I think it'd do a good job protecting my phone in case of a fall.
I also own a Goospery Diary Case. It offers additional front and back protection if that's your type. I don't use it so much though cause, I prefer my phone screen being accessible easily without much hassle.
I also have gel cases. Gel cases aren't as hard as the headcase so they won't offer much "fall protection" but I use them for when I don't want my phone to get dirty. My phone tends to get dirty at times, along the corners of the ON button, it annoys me. The gel case is designed to cover every inch of your phone, cept the Micro USB port of course.
WRONG SECTION. This question should be in the accessories subforum and not here. Please post this kind of question there in the future.

I own several of those, for the kinks really. I got them on a promotion. (Buy 2 get 1 free for about $5 each) I had to buy them haha. xD
This is a gel case. Covers your phone buttons but isn't as hard as the Hardcase cover
I got this one for a super good deal infact. 3 for just $1.99 so I couldn't say no.
This is a goospery diary case.
First case I ever bought. It's the most efficient if you don't mind your phone being thicker and harder to access. Each time you place a call or use the phone, you have to flip it open and put the cover at the back. I never liked it so I don't use it anymore.
Personally I prefer the hardcover cause it's cooler and gives moderate protection.
I hope it helps you out. Press thanks if it does help
BTW do you know is there any bumper case for this phone (something for just a bezels). I was trying to find somethig like that but without succes.

Nope, sadly Xperia M isn't exactly "hotshot" enough to get so many accessories. The best we get is common accessories such as cover cases, screen protectors, and so on forth. Most of the bumper casing is made for all round famous phones like Samsung Galaxy series, or even iPhones.
Would be nice if we could get one of those bezel or even a slide keyboard case but that's too much asked in my opinion. Not too many would buy it. Bad profits.
hi, i'm only use a hardcase like plastic at the price $3
