the standard screen protector is actually very good and scratch resistant. i've been using it for a week and a half, taking it to work and play, in and out of pockets, even ones with zips (although been extra careful here i guess!). and still not a single tiny scratch anywhere.
I’m currently looking for a silicon case for the Xperia Play, which should be the same as the ones available for the Arc.
Anyone noticed a case like that? =/
Looking for the same, Please inform me if you found any.
Best Regards.
Just bought the Sony Ericsson SMA7110 Executive Hard Case for Xperia Play off amazon (uk) was £15 when i bought, now only £11.20!! (typical lol) (instead of £25 off se site) Arrived today and it does the job fits well e.t.c. I think i may also look into Zagg Invisible Shield All over Protection for peace of mind. any comments on what the zagg shield is like steelmm?

Thanks how does this work is it a clip on case or like a pouch that you have to take the phone in and out of.?
The Sony Ericsson SMA7110 Executive Hard Case has that elasticated middle, I guess its a snug fit? only worry is it would catch/scratch rear case?
At the moment still looking for a case but think I may just leave it with out. Keep screen protector fitted and then when the rear case can always be replaced if it gets damaged.
I had a Zagg kit once and know a lot of people who swear by them but they always end up pealing on the edge and look hideous when they do
Hopefully some decent cases or replacement covers will come out soon.
*it's back up to £14 on Amazon so you didn't do to bad Mozza2k11

This is official Sony Ericsson hard pouch case for the Xperia Play. It has a magnetised closing flap at front and as Laird mentioned the flap also doubles as a pull tab to remove the play.

Yes it is a snug fit, no movement (prob cause it was made for the phone ). And as far as catching/scratching the back when removing/inserting the play. I have had mine in and out of the case about 30+ times and no scratches or any visable marks. The case is lined with a velvet lining to prevent such things. I took a pic see below.
I was looking for a clip on case but due to the the slide motion i think the best kinda clip on case would be the zagg. I mainly want the zagg for the back cover for better grip since i already have 2 screen protectors on lol.
hmmm it seems your right, probably was cheaper but cost more for postage so they got the £15ish in the end But £15 instead of £25, bargain (looks cool too ). Would recommend to anyone.
I hate the look of cases on new shiny devices.
I just stick to my motto.
"Don't ****ing drop it! "
There's some designed hard cases on Ebay if you take a look. For the UK it will be under the international sellers section.
So... Today I didn't stick to my motto :0
No damage done though, quite a sturdy little thing. Was expecting the back to fly off at the very least but all held together well.
Oh, and this was on to concrete floor from about 3 feet !
I fitted a zagg full shield for now, all looking good apart from maybe 2 bits of dust trapped on the screen
as for the case, i have seen some hard shell cases on eBay, 3 different colors
Type SHELL CASE FOR SONY ERICSSON XPERIA PLAY to find them.
I'm wanting a leather case with the screw on clip at the back, as i use them to attach phones to my motorbike for the sat nav,
but I'm still unable to find one that will fit the play, my old desire cover is of course too thin
if anyone has seen any please let me know.

I bought one of these.... it works great! Extremely happy with that purchase and for the price you can't beat it.
I'm going to buy another one to mod and superglue some grippy pads on the back for gaming.

Thanks for the tip! Ordered one. Can you tell how long shipping took?
I'm looking for the thinnest Galaxy SII phone cover people can think of. I currently have a CaseMate gel cover but it takes away how lovely this phone is without a cover on and makes it as bulky as my old HTC Leo, not to mention the fact it acts as an insulator and adds to the heat dissipation issues this phone already has.
Does anyone know of a cover/case which adds very little to the footprint of the phone as well as perhaps having holes to help with the heat? The official Samsung one looks nice but doesn't cover the corners which, given these are the most likeliest parts of the phone to hit the floor and be marked and damaged should the phone be dropped, sort of defeats the object to an extent. Also, a cover even thinner than that would be nice.
Cheers in advance.
I also have a case mate as thin as the original (in my drawer since this one arrived) but the case mate offers a little more protection on the corners. Got mine from CPW for £15 but you can get it online cheaper. The fit is perfect.
Is that the 'Barely There' one? I saw that in CPW but it didn't seem to offer any more protection than the Samsung one to me, or perhaps I didn't look at it properly. It also didn't have any holes for ventilation.
Can anyone upload some pics of it on please.
Does it fit perfect?
How's quality, does it scuff easily?
Does it fold back on itself so you can use the phone like this?
Does it stay shut ok, is there anything to keep it closed? Im a bit worried it might end up getting folded the wrong way so doesn't stay closed properly? Would be great to have an iPad like smart cover...
I'm about to order a white S3, but am going to get the blue flip case as I like the contrast between the two, anyone have this combo?
I have the official white flip case and it looks really good. You remove the original back off the galaxy siii and clip in the flip case instead. A perfect fit too. Very professional looks good to me. The top flip part does fold behind back of phone easily! seems designed to fold that way too!
When flip cover is closed over screen it doesnt fasten in place but it does stay in place well. Only bought phone and flip case yesterday..

I ordered a flip case with my vzw preorder, but I'm going to get the wireless charger when it releases and that requires a unique back cover that I suppose will then make the flip cover useless to me....

Also be aware that, according to reviews on Amazon.de, you cannot see the LED through the flip cover.

NO. WAY!!!
/sarcasm
I got mines for free from P4U they gave me a 32gb card and an original case i was shocked i thought it would be a cheap case lol..
It fits perfect the interior for the front is a soft cloth like the ones you get when you buy a screen protector..
The outside is hard plastic feels awesome to the touch.. It does cover the LED so you will miss your notifications if you do happen to miss it. But at in the dark you can see it..
Oh and the back bit adds a bit of weight to it so your phone feels alot more heavier not too heavy though makes it feel perfect.. Back plate isn't flexible either it's solid..
I've not had any scuffs at all in the last 4 days i have been using it so no it doesn't get ruined easily I guess..
Other then that it's a brilliant case..
Has anyone purchased the blue version of the flip case? How does the shade of "chrome blue" compare to the "pebble blue" of the original back?

My idea is to get the white S3 and buy the blue flip cover, I think they look good together
The problem with the official flip case is that it actual replacing the original back cover and it is made from the same material just like the original back cover.
The display is protected but the back side...well...unprotected...you can still scratch the back.
After several weeks or months the back cover will still be damaged and it will look ugly with all that scratches...and then what? buy another flip cover?
Has anyone tried to combined the official flip case with another case or bumper or whatsoever to protect the back cover?
With this for example:
http://www.incipio.com/Samsung-Gala...-S-III-feather-Ultralight-Hard-Shell-Case.asp
I would like to see a drop test with the flip cover vs no flip cover and see if it actually protects the screen, otherwise it doesn't worth anything.

Beside the fact that it does not protect the back cover.
I have also some doubts regarding this issue.
The thing is, there is lock or snap on mechanism on the flip case.
Meaning, the flip can be opened very easily...I dunno if this is still reliable if it falls like...not opening during fall and leave the screen unprotected.
Note:
Providing some degree of protection during fall, it is impossible to protect it to 100%.
Hantec just emailed me they have stock of the white flip in the UK, £22.79

No offense guys, but this is simply one of the worst ideas I have ever seen for a phone accessory. Why in the hell would anyone want to add more steps to accessing their phones? I can understand it with a tablet, where you're never in huge hurry to start working on something; but on a phone?!?! Flip-phones are extinct for a reason guys.

This. I have a flip-cover for my OG Galaxy Tab, but I've never been able to understand why you'd want one on a phone either.
Flip covers provide very little protection against drops; make it more inconvenient to instantly access your phone, and have an annoying floppy flap on the back when open during calls.
The only pros I can see is that it looks "adult", and that some flip covers fold to act as a landscape stand.

So you are also against leather pouches/sleeves?
It provides screen protection for when the phone is in a pocket.
No, the flip cover doesn't protect the back - it's not meant to since it is a replacement back. I.e. the mere fact that you can easily replace the back with a new one means that rather than put an additional cover on there you could just treat the back as a cover and replace it if it gets scratched.

Exactly.
I don't like cases in general. The back cover is a replacement as you say, the front flap is to protect the screen in pocket. This is exactly what I want. I don't want a bumper, back case that adds bulk to the phone. It's slim and light for a reason.
My other option is a pouch, so I can again protect in pocket, but use the phone naked

I have another solution (works for me): Put your keys and your change in your *other* pocket, then you don't need any pocket screen protection. As an added bonus, the screen emerges from your pocket with all the fingerprints mostly wiped off.
Hi,
Looking for the best protection for the microUSB opening on the phone (and the earphones port would be nice to protect as well.)
Basically, I have the phone in my pocket all day. I'm not worried about scratches, but lint and dust can add up in those holes (they sure did in my iphone, eventually dust got under the screen, though not much)
Any tips on what to buy?
Thanks!!

You should have done a search for cases first, there are plenty of threads on these types of cases.
There is always something like this

You could buy original Samsung case which protects the ports,

Kind of hard to say what's best without knowing your preferences. If there are no generic micro usb plastic plugs available somewhere, it could be a decent niche product business opportunity.

I have looked at the cases threads but was thinking more of a nifty plug of some kind.
Like right now, for the headphones jack, I cut the rubber plug that was on my old sony walkman sports (yes, the yellow one!)
The dust cap cover seems to be what I'm looking for! Will order one.
both my Captivate and Skyrocket had the covers built in that you slid out of the way for the microusb... I do miss that!!
I liked the sliding cover on my SGS1 and the lens cover on my N95 but they just don't make phones like they used to, and it's all because of the never ending quest to save money and weight.
sadly, this is 100% true. But the sliding cover couldn't have cost THAT much extra! Heck, they already did it on older phones so no design or new molds are needed, lol
I am VERY tempted to buy these... http://www.ebay.com/itm/10PCS-Earph...443861?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f194d6b95

Make a rubber plug for the usb port .
jje
is does provide protection from corrosion ?
I can deal with all the crap gunking up the USB slot but the camera lens sticking out is inexcusable because it is gonna get scratched to Hell and you gonna get foggy images, and all they had to do was make the phone half a millimetre thicker so the lens would be level with the back, but cos they were more interested in thinness than practicality you have to put a case on.
Like written in the topic.
Does anybody know a shop were it is possible to buy LG v20 backcovers?
I found a seller on eBay but only verizon branded. I'd like to have a clean one (LG brand is OK).
My plan is to laseringrave my own personalised theme.
So pleas give me a link.
Best regards from Germany
Nillkin Frosted Shield Matte Plastic Ultra Thin Slim Light Fit Case. Check that out on amazon. It is slim, looks classy and premium.
I think the OP is referring to the original back cover attached to the phone chassis, not a protective cover or case.
Rubiicon is totally right.
I talked about the batterycover that u can take off.
I found one on eBay but it has the verizon logo on it. I'm searching for a blank one or whit LG logo only.

For some silly reason, I wanted a pink phone (tired of black or silver). I find the brow and chin. http://www.ebay.com/itm/272609599251 , Does anybody think I can grab a Verizon LG V20 back cover, sand it and painting it a matching pink?
The verizon logo seams to be laser engraved. Don't know how far u have to sand it till its totally gone. And is the texture also the same like the backcover.
Idk how much time you have on your hands. BUT possible anodize the back door.
Thats my current project. I have all 3 main bezel parts soaking in Dye. Hoping in 3 weeks when I pull them out they were able to seep deep enough under the external anodizing seal layer (DOUBTFUL) If not then Im gonna attempt to anodize all three (Will have to replace the NFC ring on the back door). I hesitate because the sealing process requires you to boil the parts for 15 mins after anodizing, and the top and bottom bezel have plastic and I dont know the melting temp of this plastic. But only $40 project that will give me knowledge for the future.
@DarkestSpawn
I like your initiative, that's exactly the kind of thing I would try.
Experimentation is educational and fun. Even better if it's successful.
Be wary of boiling the plastic parts, they probably won't take much more than 60°C before deforming.
Good luck with your project, make sure you update here with your results.
An other user in an older backcoversection found covers without verizon logo. It has the b&o brand but this is much better then verizon

Well, soaking in dye was a negative. Tried doing a thin layer of spray paint, parts would line up right felt weird, now I have a thin vinyl skin on it. PAIN IN THE ASS to install perfectly(see attachments) in which case I didn't do it perfect. The door is ridiculous to get a good alignment. I'm gonna see with these extra useless spare painted parts if I can remove the plastic without damaging, if yes then I'll attempt the anodizing. Otherwise hoping the v30 will be spec wise way better, still metal, still a removable battery, and anodized blue lol.
Lmao!
At least you tried. The rear cover looks OK, can't really tell much in the 2nd pic.
Good luck getting LG to release a blue V30 :laugh:
After some talk with co-workers, I was very cautious with an exact-o knife to trim a very small hang over portion around the camera ring, finger print power ring and sides, and used the spare bottom bezel skin, Its now done very well and am extremely happy with it.
