so ive seen you can get moto g (its for a 4g one) cases which are replacements back covers and have a flip cover on the front. this is really what i think im after but the only ones ive seen are the official ones. frankly, im really not buying a £15 case without having seen it first and even then, its not my main phone so even then i probably wouldnt.
i would be interested in one if it was more reasonably cheap but i cant seem to find one. has anyoen else found such a thing?

Banggood sells some cheap unofficial flip covers here. I can't tell their quality (I bought an official flip cover), but it is a good site.
You can try dx.com for other models. This site has a good reputation too.
hey thanks for that suggestion.
however that one ive just found some more descriptions of it, found the same one on amazon and the reviews say it has no magnet to keep the screen closed so it just flaps about.
sadly for me that is a bit of a deal breaker.

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.

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.
Cool stuff

Its hard to find the threads relevant to you so I though I would start one for people in the UK.
Please post links and mini reviews to items you have bought or seen.
Has anyone had experience with these ecell leather cases?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COFFEE-BROWN-ANYMODE-ROTATING-LEATHER-CASE-FOR-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-NOTE-10-1-N8000-/390496797674?pt=UK_iPad_Tablet_Cases_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item5aeb6c43ea
Seems cheap for a real leather case
I bought this screen protector (pack of 2) from Media Devil "MediaDevil Magicscreen Screen Protector: Crystal Clear (Invisible) edition". I can't post links, but it's available from their website, eBay and Amazon. MediaDevil are also a UK company.
The quality of it is amazing, I can't even tell it's on the screen. It also doesn't affect the S-Pen which is great. I highly recommend it, though I admit it's price might put people off (currently about £15).
I have paid more for screen protectors for phones.
I usually get dust under them though when fitting them.
I will look these ones up now.
I just ordered that case I linked to on ebay.
Have you got any other accessories ?

Nothing yet. I'm getting this case (search ebay for 261097757601), but for Christmas, so I won't be able to comment until then I looks like a clone of the Official Book Cover - hopefully the quality is ok.
Hi guys, I'm about to make the plunge and buy a Note sometime this week from a local store (offer is on, cant miss out!)
However, the only case they sell is pretty...meh. So I'm going to have to order one online.
The one I use on my current ipad1 is a Mophie folio case like this: http://www.avenueapplemac.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/mophie-workbook-iPad_2.jpg
Its a different version for my iPad one, but basically the same. Im looking for another one like it for the Note.
Requirements:
- Folio/flip cover style, to protect the screen when not in use (I dont want to use screen protectors)
- Some way to keep the flap closed. The mophie has the elastic strip which works perfectly, and tucks behind the tablet when its open. Magnets will not be any good, as I hear they interfere with the SPen...
- Should go without saying, but good quality workmanship. Holes all lines up, that sort of thing.
I did look through the cases threads, but a lot of them were back-only plastic cases, or a variety of cheap ebay cases (which in my experience can be very hit-and-miss when it comes to build accuracy).
Amazon searches came up with a couple decent looking cases, but with no shutting mechanism... Worst comes to worst I'll buy a big elastic strap to go round it, but I'd rather not.
Oh yeh, and the other issue was that a few of the promising cases dont exist in the UK amazon store, I guess they are from american companies or something. So a UK sourced recommendation would be nice!
Anyone got any recommendations? Otherwise I shall go for something like...

Hey guys,
I was looking for a case for my GS2X, and I found this one that doesn't seem to add too much bulk, and has some styles. I am not particularly buying a case for protection. I want to have some style to my phone, thus I am looking for cases that doesn't cover the top and bottom which usually leads to sleeker design in my opinion.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Natural-Woo...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item4d06a7e4c2
Anyone tried this one? It's not as girly as other ones that this seller sells. 11 people have bought it so far, and I'm wondering how it fits, and what it looks like when the phone is in the case, especially on the front.
Thanks!
That looks pretty unique. I don't know if you're gonna find many people on here that have it, lol. Seems like it might be crumbly or easily breakable, but that's just by it's looks.
There's plenty of fancy and inexpensive cases for this phone. I just search "t989 case" on ebay and sort by lowest price + shipping.
nice but...
For $18.99 it's not that nice. Sorry, it struck me as a bad buy. Good luck with your case search.
For me, at that price I would want my phone in a case that I know will protect it and at least look a little better. Then again i still am using my first case that I bought from E-bay. It was one of those cases where you get like 10 and pay for shipping only =)

i know it's a question of taste but it looks horrible
Ok, currently I have an HTC M8, and I have been using the i-Blason case for it:
https://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Holster-Kickstand-Locking-Swivel/dp/B00IGUUKRY/
It was EXACTLY what I was looking for, protects the phone, adds grip, does NOT have a built-in screen protector, and can clip to my belt. The only issue I had is that my first one broke... and I-Blason claimed the warranty only applied if you bought it from their site, not Amazon... but Amazon themselves honored i-Blason's warranty for me.
Anyway, since I am going to upgrade to the HTC M10, I wanted to find a similar case, but ran into some confusion.
First, there is this one:
https://www.amazon.com/HTC-Case-LV-Kickstand-Protective/dp/B01F3AQW1W/
It looks exactly like the i-Blason case, but is not made by them and is quite cheaper... and I tried to find i-Blason's, I found this:
https://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Kickstand-Holster-Locking-Release/dp/B01EB8TRQ4/
That's their brand, but it looks nothing like what they made before. The reviews aren't as stellar as the cheaper one from another brand that looks like their old model either.
In fact, the original model design seemed to have a LOT of copycats:
https://www.amazon.com/Holster-Protection-Defender-Protective-Release/dp/B01AQMBCVC/
In fact, trying to search for "HTC M10 i-blason" on Amazon, instead of getting you that second link, gets you dozens of the same case in different colors by these guys:
https://www.amazon.com/Evocel®-Generation-Holster-Kickstand-EVO-HTCM10-XX01/dp/B01F67D0YE/
And this has pretty much been my experience with trying to find a case with a belt-clip for the HTC M10, a ton of copycats of the i-blasion M8 design, and I honestly can't tell which one, if any, is good or if the i-blasion brand itself is any good or garbage.
Any suggestions? Or even possible opinions from anyone who got such a case or something similar? I couldn't even find anything by Otterbox, but I doubt I would buy one of those again due to the permanently attached screen protector and the price. I just want a case that protects the phone, adds grip (that M8 was slippery on it's own), and has a belt clip.

I have the Evocel and like it a lot. It reminds me of the old and NLA Seidio case I had on my HTC One for several years. In fact, it really looks like a direct copy of the Seidio. It is an excellent case at a ridiculously low price.
