INCIPIO EDGE case for xperia x10

Incipio has a slider case that fits well with xperia x10. only down side is there is no hole for the LED notifications, but the case is a hard case that slides together instead of 2 piece where the front and back meets together. this is more secure. just a fyi for anyone interested

Any pictures?

looks good but it would've been better if it had a spool for the Handsfree.

just decided to purchase the Incipio EDGE Case on ebay for $10 and I will drill a hole where the LED notification sits at
if anyone could help me out, whats the proper size drillbit i can use to drill a perfect hole in the case for the LED?

I just drilled a hole in may case for the led. Use a 5/64" (1.9844mm). Draw a lines parallel to the edge and the top on the screen so that they intersect at the led. Put the case on and work out where they intersect on the case. Thats where you drill. Easy.

I do not like the feel on my hand with this case :/

please post a review/pics when you get a chance, my cheap case from ebay broke in like 2 months =/

Case has a LED hole
I just got an Incipio slider case and it has a hole for the cam and LED. I like it the most out of the two other cases I have tried. It was purchased from an AT&T store.

how much was it? pics?

I couldn't post the link yet, just Google this: Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 EDGE Hard Shell Slider Case. Details on the myincipio.com site.

**Nevermind, I was thinking camera LED, not notification. I didn't even notice it was covered!

well i just drilled a hole where Notifications LED is but apparently i went a tad high so i had to make the hole bigger, oh well, as long as the LED is noticeable from all angles, hopefully Incipio will revise this design but i highly doubt it

I cant find this item on ebay, can someone post pics please ?

Genuine Samsung Galaxy S3 Flip Cover Video Review

As always any feedback is more than welcome

Good point someone just made, you can't see the LED for notifications.
Not a major thing for me but it maybe for some people.

It also makes using the camera a bit of a pain. Useful for proping up the phone though.

Yeah I agree. Not my kind of case tbf but as it's a genuine product I thought I'd review it. My favorite case so far is a case from tech21

Like the fit, but blocking the led and awkward way you'd have to use camera make it a no go.
great review though.

Yeah I'm aware the proximity sensor turns the screen off when it's by the side of your face but I thought it was worth pointing out it still works with the case.

Hello everyone,
I'm using the flip cover on my S3 and is exactly what i wanted. The only problem is the led being covered, so, i used a tool that i have to make holes on belts to make one on the cover and now is perfect for me.
See the pic below. The cover is very hard, i had to make a lot of "force" to make the hole.

I doubt they will but I think it would increase sales as a lot of people have pointed out the issue. I can't see how they can solve the issue of using the camera though.

Can someone that owns this case answer me this;
Is this cover protective for the screen in a case of a fall? I mean does it "lock" in place over the screen? If you turn it upside down for example, the flip opens?
I believe its the most basic thing that should be answered (if it does not protect the screen its useless) and no one in any review does this simple test.

Sorry I thought it was clear, no it doesn't lock to the screen so it dropped it could easily flap open.

ive pre ordered the case as its not out in australia yet, i should be getting it next week. never really thought about the camera and stuff until you guys mentioned it. ive used pu leather flip cases before and havnt really found it a problem. hopefully ill enjoy it as much i planned to. i love the looks and quality of the case, ive paid $39 aus for this product. cant wait..

I got one of these a couple of weeks back for my device. I found it was rather annoying having to hold it at an awkward angle when on the phone. I wish they'd made it flip up or down instead of to the side. It also means you can't hold it very well with your left hand either, as it adds even more width on to the device!
I've switched to a skin thingy now instead, even though it leaves the screen open to damage. I'm still looking to get some kind of plastic cover I can use with the skin I've got though.

The enticing factor about the s-view cover to me is it turns on the devices screen when the cover is removed and then switches it off when you close it. Without being able to emulate that functionality, the effort just doesn't seem worth it to me.

It is the app is called TV. There is a bunch of configuration but it will let you record the IR blasts from remotes and then control those devices. I have mine configured to control the projector in my classroom (I'm a teacher...not a clever and slightly evil student).

Yeah, it's built right into the Power Button. Which I think is quite nice (aesthetically). My only gripe with it is that none of the cases will cover this giving you a little more button response like the volume buttons.

I think if you covered the IR blaster, it wouldn't work. That's the whole point. However, I don't think that applies with transparent cases. I only have a basic understanding of how IR works.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at.
I have a transparent TPU case that's still cut out, I've learned to live with it. I just like having more button response that most HTC phones give you. That's one of the reason I never LOVED the DNA until I got the specific case I had.
Otherwise, I love my phone :good:

I have the Mophie battery case. It covers the power button, makes it easier to press and the IR still works with it.

Jay how has your experience been with the mophie overall?

That's because the power button allows the IR to pass through it.

Ordered it from Amazon a day or two before I got the phone. It arrived the day I got the phone, so I've only had it for the weekend.
It's designed well, a section of the top pulls off and the phone slides into the bottom with a snug fit. There's a reassuring snap when putting the the top back on and I have to use both hands to take it apart, so I'm not concerned about it opening on its own. And it's not so tight to the point of worrying about breaking the phone trying to get it out of the case. It's a comfortable medium.
There is a small lip around the edge of the screen, but it doesn't interfere with me using programs with side swipe gestures like SwipePad, or accessing all the keys on the on-screen keyboard.
The buttons are significantly easier to find and press than on the phone itself. As mentioned, the power button is translucent allowing the IR commands to still pass through it.
My previous phone was the Evo 4g lte with the seidio battery case. Laying the two phones on a flat surface, they are about the same thickness, but the Mophie case it's noticeably longer. I work at a plant an my phone lives in the pocket of my FR shirt, so the size doesn't really bother me.
Receiving the case on the weekend, I haven't had a chance it test the battery yet. I don't have the best reception at the plant, I'm usually in the yellow around 3:30 pm because the radio is working so hard trying to find and keep a signal. I will report back in a few days with the results.
On the back of the case, there's a button that when pressed, lights up 4 white leds to indicate how much charge is left in the battery case. It takes a little effort to press the button, and you have to hold it in for a small period of time, so I'm not worried about anything in my pocket setting it off.
There's a switch to turn the charging on or off, it is flush with the case, but I don't have any issue moving the switch despite having practically no fingernails. There is also a bit of resistance to toggle it.
The external micro usb port works well for days pass through. I would often have issues with the Seidio case appearing as a "unknown device" when I plugged it in, and would have to remove the case in order to transfer. No issues with the Mophie case.
Because of the length, letting the bottom rest in your palm while using the phone can make it difficult to access the top of the phone or the notification bar. Wrapping fingers around the back and letting the bottom hang out still lets more access the majority of the phone.
Hope this answers anything you had questions about, let me know if there is anything else.

Expensive case... Though from the looks of it you get what you pay for without a doubt.

It isn't cheap, but I'd rather pay the money for this case with functionality than than having to order a cheap case with no functionality multiple times because it keeps breaking.

I reviewed it last month.
http://www.droidmatters.com/news/review-mophie-juice-pack-for-the-htc-one/

When I get paid this case is mine...

I have a UAG case that I got off amazon. It seems like it was designed with the IR device in mind, because there is a small cut out in the power button cover.

Maybe just put a dbrand back on for now until they become available? But doesn't the back need to be taken apart pretty carefully? Meaning taking into account the adhesives and screws because LG made the battery not removable? I know you are looking to replace the back, but that also houses the antenna's and other things. If you do, please post and do a write up or how-to!

The basics were use a guitar pick to pry round the outside. It should click off. There is some small sticky pads at the bottom of the cover so that takes a bit more prying. Then the new cover just clicks on lol

The sides and earpiece are going to very difficult. Assuming LG used the same stuff they used on the Nexus 4 to adhere the display to the frame you will be very likely to damage the frame. The earpiece also seems to be sandwiched between the frame and the glass according to the ifixit teardown pics.
It would be better and easier to find a display with frame for sale and just move the hardware over that way. But with the price of the display with frame you'd be better off selling your phone and buying a red one.
