My Roxfit cover after a boring day. :D

A special phone requirer something special, so with a few mods I got one of a kind cover.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fsrkewd:
Got an One X instead. I can't seem to fix the battery drain issue, and I needed to add a new line for a family member, so I returned it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
Thanks I was just curious. The One X is a good phone too, though it is missing a couple nice features from the S, namely usb otg.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Razje:
Yes you can put stuff behind the Creditcards

(see attachment)

I'll be getting it this week, there was some problem with the payment (damn you paypal)

PS. I also wanted the get the luxury one at first, but then i noticed that the SXS didn't really fit in it (bottom part) i noticed that on al screenshots and also on the screens of the other colors that the walletcase comes in. So that's why i choose this one :P

This one is very nice, i might get it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vitucastro:
Can't find it! Where we get that ? :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] termick:
Yay thanks a lot for tip with this alu bumper! Just ordered one :) Gotta write about it when it gets delivered.

Vitucastro it is sold by jasper_a4u
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
Nice let us know how it is. The fact it will block nfc is disconcerting to me though. I still think you might be able to drill a hole or something to get it to work again.

It looks like you can use it without the back cover but I am not sure how sturdy it will be without it. Let us know if you can use it without the back piece.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tsukeyomi:
I don't really like that aluminium case.

It looks ok on the front but i don't like the back; not only it will make the NFC functionalities unusable but it also lacks a transparent stripe to let the bar being visible from the back too.

But it is just a matter of taste/what you need :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Erachter:
Who has a white Xperia S with black Nilkin case?Can you post some pics plz?

Or what you guys recommend in range of 10 $?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jacker60:
Someone already have one of these?

I order it when i bought my xperia S because i always like TPU cover cases... but i dont see anybody with one like these, bad experiences? :confused:

Also I see the imak one

And looks very nice to me, the problem its that i have XS black and the blue color its going to be perceptible... or somenone have it? could post some photos please?!

well i'm still waiting for jekod cover, when arrive will post some photos :o

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tsukeyomi:
I personally don't like the silicone one at all.

But the Mercury one looks classy, just a bit fat imho (and of course it lacks a back transparent stripe to let you see the led bar from the back too) :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
Too shiny for my taste. I hate shiny.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
I got my tourmate case today and it is really nice. It has a sort of sandy texture to it which makes it immune to fingerprints/dust and easy to hold. It fits the phone like a glove and the port cutouts are the best I have seen yet. All in all very impressive. It also comes with port covers and a screen protector. A very good package for the price I paid. It does say it comes in more colors than black and white but I didn't see those.

Let me know if anyone wants pictures.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Please. I want pictures.

Stupid flicker images wont post here so i made links instead.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Thanks. Would be a problem if I ask you to put the phone on the case, open the little things that protect the USB and HDMI that I forgot the name and from the top ( headphones + power button) and take a photo from that?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
Here is the second batch with the phone inside the case. Sorry about the picture quality, my hero is not the best and it doesnt have a flash. If you really want a better one I can grab my digital camera and take some but that will probably be tomorrow.

One minor problem with the case is that it makes it hard to get the ports opened by the normal little slot. instead i just pull at the bottom of the port and it works fine. I usually do that anyways so it hasn't been an issue.

My only major concern is I wonder how long the soft touch coating will last. It seems to be sprayed on or something so who knows. I would try another one of their products though as I think the fit is exceptional.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] theXperiance:
Yes! Finally received my kiji one.

It is perfect! Doesn't get in the way of theilluminator at all. The material is very odd but very grippy, it feels fuzzy, and don't get fooled by the stock pictures, but for once, it is better than the stock pictures! It isn't as sandy as it looks, especially the white one which is less sandy, anyways, it is MUCH BETTER than everything I've tried

And it snugs right in and doesn't seem like itll fall

9.5/10

I'll put the link to ebay when im on the computer
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] theXperiance:
Forgot to put photos and won't let me edit so here!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] denaz:
Sorry for the poor quality, i've take these photos with a spare Optimus One :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Razje:
Damn that looks great :D fresh, slick, awesome

I also ordered a wallet/book style leather case.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gkeeper:
after allot of phones and all kinds of cases, i realized that the pouches are the best protectors, the silicone and plastic cases are accumulate dust particle, which scratches the back of the device...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
Looks pretty cool, seems very similar to mine. Hows the fit? Mine is exact, no play at all in the back. Only problem is it seems it might be a bit too tight.

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

I love the look of those leather cases but the fact it won't fit in a charge dock is holding me back. Still, you "might" be able to fit it if you shimmy the back up since it does have that loose part.

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

As long as the fit is good, the dust shouldnt accumulate and scratch. I do want to try out a pouch though. Might have to pick one up.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] theXperiance:
What's yours, nillkin?

The fit is perfect, literary perfect, I've never had such good fit in any other cases on any phone, and it's pretty easy to take off
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] theXperiance:
Why didn't you get a cover that doesn't cover the illuminator? It's like the best feature of the phone and your covering half of it! :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] s-X-s:
I got a matte type hard case from obostore ( was decent transaction n delivery ) 10 euro+ free post... nice feel ( actually i felt my phone in hand after putting thin on - after my old temp fibre case).... Easy access to all hardware keys... but i have doubts about durability as if u take out n put it on very often it may damage the edges...Made of polycarbonate as per obostore.com.... it covers sony icon n illuminator on back side ( drawback- but if they leave a space for those in this type of material it will surely cause it to break there)

It looks almost exactly like the one I got, though mine has the cutouts for the light. The texture is even the same.

That looks nice. If i didn't already have mine I would have tried it out.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sikiduck:
Am I the only one who have some tiny but many scratches on the back cover? :P

Looks like its easy to get scratches there, think I'll buy a metal-looking silver or black back-cover on eBay. Any thoughts? :)

Edit: Just ordered a blue metal-finish battery cover and Nilkin case, pics in a week or two (or maybe longer) :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] googleye:
Where did you get that? Looks nice, only thing I can't understand is why they cut a hole for the speaker but not for the led..

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] termick:
I got this alu bumper case. I must say it is very niche product. Sure it gives great protection compared to other cases. But it is bulky, looks bulky and is troublesome. You can use all the buttons only with your nails. And you cannot really leave it.without the backplate cos it could fall off. I do not really recommend it unless you need best protection
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TheFirstFishy:
Nice with some advice. :good:

But since there are more then one bumber case, a link, name or picture would be nice so we know what your are talking about beside "bumper case"
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zhuozhi211:
can u share some pictures with XPS in the aluminium case? and perhaps a close up at the USB port. some users complaint that it is too small for the cable to be plugged in.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] termick:
eBay I was talking about case similar to this one. Original auction no longer exists. It is possible to plug the cord in.

Edit: Pictures:

As you can see it is pretty bulky and the access to the port is not so easy.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LitoNi:

does NFC work?

if so does it work perfectly or so so?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nanoxy:
To those who have Spigen SGP case, is it easy to remove?

I had a roxfit hard shell case and the first time I tried to remove it, the tiny fragile borders around the side buttons broke, I see SGP does not have borders around the side buttons at all so thats great, but I'm just wondering if the case is easy to remove...

I actually really like this one, but sadly XS is too large to fit :( it sticks out 5 mm

new users cannot insert links ?? that's odd... Diesel denim slim sleeve, if you wish to look it up, cases like that are lacking for XS till now (except the standard leather stuff)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K900i:
hi,

I ordered a cover from obostore.com on the 28th may and I still haven't received it.

I sent them a message 2 days ago and still haven't got a reply from them..

I live in dubai , they said that it usually it takes 8-17 days for them to deliver the product, and when i enter into my obostore account it says the product has been shipped. Please help
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] krazyazy:
I have the Spigen SGP. It's fairly easy to remove. I just pop 2 of the corners and pull back. There's only a border by the camera button, which I think is a little too thick. LaughinGoh's pictures show it well. post 367
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] termick:
I do not use NFC but probably it won't work.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nanoxy:
Thanks,

one more thing I forgot to ask, since it's pretty glossy do you see alot of fingerprints and stuff on it or will the appearance stay clean (like with most matte cases)?

actually I dont like any of the cases now for sale at all but guess I should have one since the phone should survive the coming 2 years :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] krazyazy:
I can't speak for the white as I have the black one.

Yes, it's very glossy and you will definitely see fingerprints, smudges, etc. Though, nothing a good wipe wouldn't take of. Also with the glossy, I worried about it being less grippy than a matte case, but for the moment, it's fairly decent at staying in my hands.

I've included some pics of a black phone with the black SGP.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LaughinGoh:
The white one you won't see as much smudges or fingerprints, But it is definitely there.

Since it is a glossy finish, it does lose its grip after some finger oil has made contact but it can be easily wiped off.

Other than that, this is one of the best cases out there, it's really light weight and to me the best looking one out there!

cheers!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
Obostore can be really slow. Also they are hard to get ahold of but when I did get ahold of them they fixed my issue right away.

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

I quite like the look of that one, but I can't stand gloss. Hopefully they release a matte version because the cuts are fantastic. I love how it shows the glowing orb and the edges of the light bar.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K900i:
contacted them, they said wait till monday , if I still dont get it they will do a refund, Can you suggest any other site which can do the work faster and is reliable?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
You might try alibaba.com or casesss.

Both of those have decent selection.

Milkgift and netimes are good too, but they mostly have leather cases.

Just got my leather case bought on EBay from e_cell.

Considering the price I'm quite pleased with the quality of it.

Only problem, like with other cases are the access to the charger flip and the buttons. Might cut of the plastic like I did with my Roxfit to gain better access.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bhootnath:
i prefer flip cases to book cases.. though what i like best are thing snap ons.. but then they are not much protection .. anyways.. this is the one i got for my white SXS..

Do not buy the Rock quicksand. The rugged effect is only a thin layer on a cheap poly plastic.

This is what it looks like in a couple weeks time of normal use in my pocket. Always with nothing else, only the phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] googleye:
I've had one. Couldn't fit any cards in, the magnet wouldn't hold it shut. Couldn't use headphones because of the hardcase. Couldn't use flash in pictures because the thick edge would make it bounce back and put a white layer on the picture. The hardcase broke where the volume button is the first day, way too thin. Ordered one with a white hardcase, a better one hopefully

*phew... thanks for the warning.. luckily for me, seller could not ship it in time, and i got option to cancel or wait.. cancelled it...

well.. fortunately in my flip case, the cuts are really well places.. and nothing is inaccessible.. sides are more or less open only.. and on top the cover only comes in middle.. leaving sides open and fully accessible.. for 600 INR/ abt $12 .. a very good case IMO.. :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pepporony:
I use this case almost 2 months and it look okay to me. Heard that there are fake Rock products though(not sure if it's true or the seller tried to sell).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] blackon:
Mine came in a clear hard plastic box with logos and everything. I believe it is original. Once the coating peeled off, it got worse quickly.

Just sharing. It's frustrating because I thought the rugged effect was the casing plastic itself, not just a thin layer.

No slit for the light bar and possible NFC issues kills it for me.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kaizokan:
watch out for the aluminium covers, plastic vs aluminium = damaged plastic, if there is no soft inside. Sure it won't damage your phone directly but it could since it only holds on the side, where the most pressure/friction is.

And if it has a black or any other color finish, then scratches might be easily visible.

Also aluminium can dent! (permanently). One of the disadvantages of metal back coverd phones. Not only can this look ugly but also put pressure on internal parts

This is just how i think about it :)

I agree! (if i would choose aluminium ;) )
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Poesini:
I live in Canada and i bought the Clove rubberized hard case.

Its so nice it doesnt make the phone look more big at all and it has a little plastic cover inside.

I have accidentally let the phone fall a few times and not even a scratch, just some dirt on the rubber front. Wipe and thats it, like nothing.

I ordered it and it said like 10-14 working days but it arrived 3 days after :highfive:

And i agree, aluminium albeit it looks pretty cool, it can bent and can be pretty double edged... For me its like having the same.
