Hey guys. I decided to buy a protecting case for my Xperia Play. I heard that the best one is the Trident Aegis, if not maybe you guys could recommande some, And another thing is I live in Europe but I don't know any good sites to order one so if you can give me one or more ?
Yea that's a good one so is zagg's cases and also outterbox

Any European "store" link, but not with used stuff ?
I would not buy an otterbox case. Most phones I would recommend. Their case damages our plays. Pushes the slider sprat from the gamepad.

No your fine, I wasn't attacking you by any means... just dont want someone with a PLAY ti damage it due to Otterbox. Not only do they damage our PLAYs but they also break a lot. Before I ditched mine I had three break on me in 4 months and each time Otterbox would replace it for free.... yes their support was great but htis product not so great on our phones. However I have heard Trident are the way to go for our phone, although I never had one before.
I've been using the trident case for over a year now, and it has protected my play from multiple drops, me falling on it, and it being tossed around in my bag. The only complaint I have about it is that it doesn't have plugs to protect the ports from debris (Getting sand out of the play is a pain). Anyways, I can definitely recommend the trident aegis.

So I'm wondering what cases everyone is using. The at&t store only had one butt ugly case that I didn't go for. I've been looking at this incipio case and wondering if anyone has it. Fit? Feel? Value?

That's a fair point. I'm just worried about a snug fit. I've bought cheap no-name brand cases before that fit horribly, and were basically a waste of money.

It's in Amazon for $20:

I think I'll go for a KaysCase, also in Amazon. I've looked for reviews online for the brand (they make cases for Ipad as well) and didn't find any negative one. Since Apple users are usually prone to complaining online, I think if the case was bad it would be all over the place.
Reminds me a lot of the Nillkin case I have for my Xperia S. I might have to order it. Though I really like the feel of the ion without any case. Such a nice phone and great build.

I would think twice about that. I already dropped my phone once and now there's a deep scratch on the rubber parts on the top and bottom of the phone.

I bought that case directly from incipio with a 20% coupon, only had to pay $21.83 after taxes. Just waiting for it to arrive in the mail I hope today!

Yeah, I dropped mine and now have a chunk of plastic missing. I have an Incipio Feather on the way.

I went ahead and bought the incipio silicrylic case. Pretty pleased with it so far. Only issue is the piece on the left side above the usb/hdmi port is really, really thin. I'm pretty sure that will be the first part to break.
Other than that, it's a really nice fitting, well made case. It even makes the buttons easier to push.

Mine had a small fall now there is a tiny chip out of the screen. I bought a 2 pack of cases off amazon for $5

Probably got ripped off for actually paying $40 for it from AT&T, but I went with the DualTek case.

Not really on par with the best Otterbox but it seems like it'll protect my phone pretty well. The plastic is thick and hard *laughs out of immaturity*. I have a thing for breaking my screens and the case has a lip around the front of the phone so I'm not too worried about the screen on this phone.
I'm dissaponted that the ION doesn't "support" phone straps. Anyone know of any cases that "support" phone straps ?
Anyone ever try Diztronic cases?

Which case do you use on your ion, or do any of you not use a case? It's such a nice looking phone, so I hate to cover it up..but would have risk getting it scuffed up. I'm using the ballistic case on mine currently..it does bulk it up, but will definitely keep it protected.
I use an Incipio Feather case. Barely adds any bulk

Hi everyone,
My wife's side cover that covers the mini usb and hdmi fell off and we do not know where. Is this something that can be replaced? Is this something that is pretty useful or will she be ok without one? Thanks
Sent from my Sony Xperia Ion using Tapatalk 2.
Personally, I have been tempted to remove mine. It's not as annoying as the one on the X10, but sometimes it gets in the way...particularly in the smart dock. Does the missing cover detract from the aesthetic appeal? I would imagine that it would be more hassle than it is worth to replace.

Thanks just didn't know if ports will get damaged without cover.

Mine got lost last night, does anyone know where to find replacement?
I've gone through about 7 cases now, trying to find the most quality protection I can get without getting something too thick or too expensive.
...finally decided to stop being a cheapass and start considering the Aegis Trident. Anyone with this have any regrets? Does this follow the trend of loosening the slide mechanism and scratching up the gamepad like so many other cases do?
Been using for almost a year now, best case for xperia play plus has 1 year warranty. Buy it.

Here's a lengthy post I posted on this thread:

It pretty much tells you I have absolutely no regrets on having the Aegis Trident case for the Xperia PLAY.
Best decision imo for a case. It helps in the xperia play's case more cause it doesn't affect the opening of the gamepad or use of it. And there's soft plastic covering for the buttons so they stick out and are easier to use without looking fro them.

Where did u buy your trident case
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
I just wanna extend a GREAT thanks to you all, especially narflynn... went ahead and bought the Trident and GOOD LORD this thing is lovely!
Great build quality, great feel... and it just looks nice! This combined with my fresh new 64GB card has made my Xperia Play something I'll probably never replace.
No regrets, but i do have a little difficulty with the power button not pressing correctly sometimes.
My gamer pad has got a little scratched but I don't know for sure if its the case that has caused this, but can get an undamaged replacement from eBay for £15.
AW: Aegis Trident users... any regrets?
Unfortunately the available colours are ugly as hell.

Have you even used one? Meh, you are ugly. The red is awesome. I use it.
AW: Aegis Trident users... any regrets?
Hey if you like them go on. The red is acceptable but I don't like them. Like the Win8 colours, they somehow look weird.
But nevertheless the cases are hq.

I just got my aegis trident case and it feels and looks awesome. Its the green and black one and with the normal shipping it was at my house in only 2 days it will take a little bit of getting used to as I haven't had a case for almost a year, but I'm glad I got one.
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
After finding out that my xplay basically came with a screen protector. I somehow felt like it was a waste to use the trident cover. So I rarely use it on my play...only on days where I feel like the touching the trident cover (and i really do love the feel of my trident cover) I would put it on.
Makes the play 2 big but still love it.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
Why would having a built in screen protector make the Trident a waste? They aren't the same.
I've had an armor case since I got my Play, but it's all dirty now and I snapped the front of it...
Would like a proper gel case, ie one that feels like rubber, not plastic...recommendations?
UK. Ebay, Amazon, whatever...
Thanks.

Never, ever, ever buy an otterbox case for this phone. It pushes the gamepad away from the screen. The case I currently use is this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Sony-Er...030226?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43b4cb4912
This is the best case I have ever used. And I have used abotu 5 different cases in 18 months.

Switch to a trident, the case you're using has damaged my phone in the past, the top piece had raised imperfections on the inside which leave marks on the outside of your screen.
Trident over everything, been using since last October + it has a 1 year warranty.
