Thanks for the detailed answers. I had indeed read about the volume rocker falling off in a number of cases. This is one of the reasons I was leaning towards this case. Seems like a nice safeguard to have for when/if the glue holding it in place wears out.

Your max temperatures with the case on seem reasonable and within max temperature range. Is this with gaming?

Always handy to get a second opinion, much appreciated.

I'm glad to hear its less slippery and with better grip. This was another one of the reasons I wanted a case for the PLAY.

I don't overclock my device, and removing the case for gaming isn't an option for me. So long as the temperature while gaming don't exceed recommended levels, its not a problem. It should also help that the phone+case will be used in a country not renowned for its hot weather ;) These phones must be designed with weathers of hot countries in mind.

Grateful for both of your guys replies. I'm going with this case now. :good:

Just a shame its going to be during the Olympics, which will inevitably slow the delivery further, that on top of customs...

Will post a review when it gets here, with some high-res snaps, for others interested in finding a decent case.
[Xperia Play Accessories] narflynn619:
^ yes that's during playing RAM-heavy games (mostly Gameloft games) and internet browsing..;)
[Xperia Play Accessories] LordBattleBeard:
Will pick the case up from the post office later today and should know then if it was worth buying.

Have to pay custom fees of £11.20 to collect it, so not too impressed, as you can imagine. £8 of that is the royal scam mails administration fee.
[Xperia Play Accessories] LordBattleBeard:
Just picked up the case from the post office.

Pros

- Nice and easy to install.

- Feels a hell of a lot better than the slippery cheap plastic housing.

- Much more comfortable to hold and grip.

- Power and volume buttons are easier to press and firmer than before.

- Good to know that the volume rocker isn't going anywhere.

- Sound audibility doesn't sound muffled as some have suggested.

Cons

- Inevitably makes the phone a little bulkier, though this isn't a concern for me.

- Four hardware buttons are harder to press.

Definitely a premium case worth its price :good:
[Xperia Play Accessories] narflynn619:
Told ya. ;):good:
[Xperia Play Accessories] brsingr:
Can we get some shots of this case on the Play? Sounds really good, but the Site's pictures stink lol. That and I'm looking for a new case. :)

I just rar'd 'em, I'm too lazy to be resizing these photos. :D :P

EDIT:

Oh yeah I remember I posted photos of the case on the PLAY already some months ago in the first page.

You won't regret it. I got the black one too ;)
[Xperia Play Accessories] sproyd:
Had a concrete drop with the Verizone case and no damage to the phone. However, having just got the DK300 dock the case prevents the phone going in. However, if you only remove the rear part of the case you can put the phone in with the front case still attached by sliding out the gamepad then sliding it down once the phone is docked. One of the few advantages of having a slide phone with a 2 part case I guess.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Mr_Rabo:
Just ordered Trident Aegis case (Black)

Cant wait..

Also waiting for the phone itself lol SO will post back to report..

Ps i have a personal bet going on that the case arrives Before the phone. (just my kind of luck)

Anyway excited and looking forward to writing up my input and opinion of this my first case..

Best case for Xperia Play: Trident Case. Hands down. End of discussion.

Got to admit love the trident, makes my play look cool and easier to hold i havent dropped it since using it before that it was constantly slipping out my hand.

Oh Wow! I got my Xperia Play Yesterday and i was looking for a good Case. And i totally fall in love with this one!

Is there any Chance to get one as a german guy like me? I would kill for one :eek:
[Xperia Play Accessories] leetxperia:
I don't think so.
[Xperia Play Accessories] BahaXIII:
Hmm maybe someone want to sell his case? Or is there a specific name for that case i can search for?

Sry for my bad english :/ i hope you understand what i want to ask
[Xperia Play Accessories] LordBattleBeard:
Verizon is an American company so it was never sold outside of there. I dont even think its for sale in America any more.

If its not on ebay or amazon, I think you're out of luck.
[Xperia Play Accessories] leetxperia:
That would be possible but the price for shipping would be superexpensive.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Majiel:
Verizon Face Plate...

Hmm, I actually got both Verizon Face-plates on Clearance for $5.00 each. Just a few days ago, the red one's front plate broke in two(it's hard plastic) when it fell out of my jacket's pocket; I also discovered that the trapped dirt/grime between the the faceplate/battery cover has permanently scratched that up when it fell. Ah well, I still have the black faceplate to make it look nice. If anyone wants, I can check if there's any available at Verizon when I head to work(across the street).
[Xperia Play Accessories] drivenby:
well i just got my trident case... AND ITS SO GODDAMN GORGEOUS

@_@

It even hides the XPs mysterious hump .

I dont want to admit it but this might be worth the 24 usd i spent...

edit

just noticed it covers the led! well that's a shame ;_;, didn't use it much but it was still nice to have.

compared to my other cases I actually find the hardware keys easy to press ;p.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Nabeel_Nabs:
So after going bare bones with my play for a year and cracking the front housing I'm looking for a case available in the UK - thus the trident is out of the question. I've tried the hybrid shell case and the gel cases although they weren't very good.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Razorbeast19:
I think I'll be getting the otterbox for my phone :)
[Xperia Play Accessories] LordBattleBeard:
There isn't any brand name cases for the Xperia PLAY outside of the USA, only generic ones probably made in China. I looked everywhere before settling on the Trident.

If you don't want to go the route of importing one, then I would just look for a generic case on Ebay. I wouldn't spend too much on one because they're all pretty much the same and made from the same cheap materials. You should note though that these generic cases are all likely to cause damage to your phones housing over time, as the plastic on the back of the phone and the case itself, with nothing in-between, will cause that to happen overtime.

You will regret it. Read the reviews before throwing your money away.

I read reviews before choosing between the Trident and Otterbox case and found that this was pretty much the consensus for the Otterbox:

- The case actually lifts the screen off the base of the phone. This has the potential to cause more damage to the phone than if you didn't bother using a case.

See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=klO3VE3GQ1A#t=347s

-L1/L2 buttons become less responsive because what the case uses to cover the buttons are just that, covers, not buttons.

- Back cover is held﻿ with only 2 latches, thus making it pretty useless. Many reports of it breaking with a simple fall.
[Xperia Play Accessories] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
I used the trident aegis case I bought off ebay cost me about 30usd including postage (£25 ish) and it's the best case for it the buttons were easier to press and it made it more comfortable in the hand but I stopped using it as I got the 3600mah battery which is amazing because I do everything on my phone a lot of gaming especially and it makes it feel more like a game pad but it's more likely to break =(

Still haven't been able to find the Trident from a reputable seller in the UK, or one cheaply from the US. :(
[Xperia Play Accessories] DiamondBond:
Yea man, Its expensive but looks good for protection and stuff

Here it is:

Thanks dude, but shipping is horrendous from their site. Too much.
[Xperia Play Accessories] insane5125:
I was looking at pics of the trident case and i notice the power button looks alittle raised is the just me? Also if it is does it make finding the power button easier.
[Xperia Play Accessories] DiamondBond:
Yea for me it comes up to around 60€

It's good quality but I don't want to use a case unroll I get my 2600mah battery, :D

I thunk it does, also the triggers feel so good... They have perfect fit!
[Xperia Play Accessories] narflynn619:
The button coverings of the trident is overall a good feature pf the case. Have you people ever read about the Play's volume rocker falling off? Mine did, I added a tiny tiny tiny tiny bit of superglue, then the trident case holds it in place securely making sure it doesn't get lost when it detaches again.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Red_Kop:
Well, guess I can't get a Trident in the UK.

Other recommendations?

Want it to be black and with a rubbery feel.

I've had some from ebay, but they've been rubbish.
[Xperia Play Accessories] narflynn619:
Why? [MENTION=4662137]LordBattleBeard[/MENTION] did. :confused:
[Xperia Play Accessories] Red_Kop:
From where and for how much?

Not paying extortionate prices for it.
[Xperia Play Accessories] narflynn619:
He's from the UK, too, and he ordered one because of my 'satisfied' review of it and he was also very happy with the product. No idea about the shipping fee though.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Red_Kop:
Think you misunderstand.

I can get one delivered to the UK no problem. I know it's the best case, that's why I want it.

The issue is the cost involved in regards to shipping from the places the case is available.
[Xperia Play Accessories] narflynn619:
Oh, okay. :(
[Xperia Play Accessories] insane5125:
Just save up and in no time you'll have enough.:good:
[Xperia Play Accessories] Red_Kop:
LOL. I have enough money, it's just I don't think it's worth it.

Don't see why the official site charges so much for shipping to the UK. No way is it that expensive. Get ebay items shipped over all the time for peanuts. Extortionate cost. No excuse for it.

[Xperia Play Accessories] sunny sandhu:
good one..
[Xperia Play Accessories] Radon_22:
Since I wasn't going to spend $30 on a case for a $50 phone, I shopped around. Here's what I found:

You'll find a lot of places selling a version of a case that has a small, round hole to show the S/E logo. Avoid it at all cost. It looks decent, but the plastic is brittle and won't survive even a moderate drop to a floor.

I have, however, found a decent case for $8. You can't tell it from the photos, but it's got a nice, texturized feel, fits the phone perfectly, and has cutouts in all the right places.
[Xperia Play Accessories] legacygt777:
love the trident but it's fat and bulky.

this one looks the best imo http://www.ebay.com/itm/SONY-ERICSS...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item4cf7185606
[Xperia Play Accessories] narflynn619:
So I tried using my phone without my red Trident.. and ooohh I almost forgot my phone was that sexy!

Too bad I'm no longer used to using it without the added bulk as it gives more grip to me. :)

PS, my Trident's front piece's top and bottom snaps already/finally 'snapped' (excuse the pun). She could already retire anytime soon. :(
[Xperia Play Accessories] JAY48:
I've been using one of those çheapie' snap-on cases (the hard plastic coated with rubber type) since July and it has scratched up the boarders of the digitiser, metallic trim on the sides and the battery cover. Do the gel cases trap dirt and leave marks as well?
[Xperia Play Accessories] narflynn619:

[Xperia Play Accessories] narflynn619:
Due to many users' positive review about this case I bought two cases (so I'll have a spare) for my Play. While it makes the phone slimmer compared to when it's fitted with Trident, I don't think it's the best I've ever had. The right side (on the shoulder buttons) of the rear case, the rubber lining doesn't perfectly 'hug' the phone's body. It feels very constricting for the phone. Also, I noticed the bottom rubber lining of the front case is separating from the main body of the front case as evidenced by 'cutting' patterns of the lining. I thought it was a minor defect so I took the front piece of the other set that I bought. That one had no issues like the one I mentioned but upon fitting it untp the phone the same thing happened. I think this is because the case is too tight for the Play.

The Trident Aegis is STILL the best in my opinion.

I am still to try the Amzer(?) Shellster very soon. Anyone of you guys got a review for that?
[Xperia Play Accessories] WhiteWashed:
I bought this one: http://www.ebay.it/itm/NEW-LEATHER-...esCasesPouches&var&hash=item35ce915563&_uhb=1

pull the battery and boot into cwm recovery and wipe data/fact reset then wipe cache.
