For those who are looking forward to buy a simple, durable, hard, and very good feeling case I can definitely recommend Krusell's cases I own the Black one. Its very nice, it also feels like you are touching the phone instead, I mean materials feel the same way when you are holding the phone. + NFC works like a charm.. 15$ (USD). Bought on amazon.

Sorry for both pictures. Camera Isn't Helping. Its an old Logitech quick-cam.

Noreve leather case

Just received this one. It's a bit expensive (44€) but sooo much worth it :

http://www.noreve.com/langue/en/product/Sony_Xperia_S_Tradition_leather_case.html

They make it in 4 different types of leather and any colour you want (they make it on demand, it takes 14 days apparently). But normally they have the black one in stock.

They include a plastic belt clip (detachable) and you can buy a metal clip for 15€.

Just received mine
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
I thought that thing looked okay, how does it work?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Stenlius:
I have the same one in white - it's slippery, and I've already dropped my phone with it - it barely protects the edges - the phone has slightly damaged spots on the outer black frame... the case is partly damaged as well. The black one seems not so smooth, so maybe it doesen't slip from a sweaty hand?

That's mine after some carbon folio:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Nepythys:
You just drop the phone inside, sort of like a wallet, nothing special. Does the job perfectly.

I ordered the Incipio 2 piece case in black. Hopefully it is as good as it looks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] samven582:
where did you buy that?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
Ok so I got my Incipio 2 piece case today. Here is a mini review

Pros

Very very good build quality.

Amazing soft touch plastic feel. Probably the best feeling phone case I have ever tried.

2 piece design works well and looks very nice.

Best protection I have ever seen with a case. The phone is completely wrapped up. If you drop you phone alot this is what you want.

The slots with the exception of the power button slot are very well done. You can easily get the slot covers off and press the volume keys.

Cons

Thick- at 2 mm it is quite a bit thicker than my Tourmate case

Incredibly tough to remove. It is easy to get the case on, but don't even think about removing it all the time.

The power button slot is horrible for me. I use my phone in my left hand so I generally press the power button with my thumb and this case makes it hard to do. If you use your right hand this shouldn't be a problem.

All in all it is a very good case, probably one of the best. But it just isn't for me. I really wish they made the same thing but less thick cause that would be perfect. The hunt for the perfect case continues.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Could you post some photos? Mostly the power button (I'm left handed too) and from the slots? I'm really between this one and Spilgen one...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
Check the rest of the photos on that site. They have really good product photos.

The main thing for me is how hard it is to get off as I swap sims fairly frequently, but if you don't remove your backcover then it shouldn't be an issue. It's not thin by any means, but damn is it premium. It has a really good feel to it and I am positive it would not damage your phone if you were to drop it in this case.

I quite like the Spigen one too, but not too keen on the shiny look. I really wish it were matte. I even come close to explaining to you how nice the Incipio one feels. It really is a nice case.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Thanks. I still have some time to decide. Dollar is very expensive, still.

I use the Nillkin Super Shield and think its great.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zhuozhi211:
Got mine 3~4 weeks later. Have to agree with termick that the metal case feels very bulky in the hand, as it is a rectangular block and cover off the curve back of SXS.

Access to the ports i.e. HDMI and USB are acceptable. I read that the newer batches (mine included) have their holes cut bigger; the compromise is that there is an uninsightly gap at the port's holes between the curve back and the rectangular metal case block.

Access to the buttons are extremely difficult if not unacceptable, and is the main problem for me for this case. Unless you have tiny fingers, you really need to use your nail to access the buttons. I'm thinking of a solution to this... perhaps to stick something with thickness onto the buttons.

update: with photos. grow to like it more, but still hate the buttons.

update: changed the system file such that half press of camera button wakes the phone. kinda solve the button problem, as it is easier to access and do not require a full press.

Guys, I just got this phone at the Beverly Center Sonystyle and it is the most beautiful phone I've ever s een! I actually stepped down from an HTC ONE X which ended up being a little bit too big for me. Anyways I just bought the Incipio NGP case. I was torn between the NGP or the Nillkin but decided on the NGP because it has less cutouts in the case. I actually like the fact that it is a full coverage case top and bottom plus has covers over the camera and volume buttons. I kind of don't like all those holes in the side of my case but to each his own. Check it out.

Any pinoy user here? I really like the incipio case but they don't ship to Philippines. Where can I get a decent case for my phone?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 4lex96:
Very good case!

I buy this case from Sunsky

it's a chinese site that offer very good product at the cheapest price ;)

for the spedition i use swiss post(shipped from Singapore on 14/07 and delivered in Rome on 27/07) but if you have enoght money you can use DHL and in 5 days (for Italy) you will have your order at home ;)

The case is plastic but is covered by this checkered pattern in faux leather. All ports of the device are accessible with the case!!!

I've bought the case in white

and in black

It cost only 1.08 € :good:

P.S. I found written on the package "GIFT" so do not even pay the customs fees :victory:

Best regards

I was looking at cases today because here in Toronto, Canada barely anyone sells cases for the Xperia S & the Sony store sells only 2-3 cases which are not worth it.

I was looking at the Incipio EDGE Black Hard Shell Slider Case

http://www.incipio.com/Sony-Xperia-S-Cases/Incipio-Sony-Xperia-S-EDGE-Hard-Shell-Slider-Case.asp

& I was looking at the Incipio NGP Semi-Rigid Soft Shell Case

http://www.incipio.com/Sony-Xperia-S-Cases/Incipio-Sony-Xperia-S-NGP-Semi-Rigid-Soft-Shell-Case.asp

Which one will be worth it & also who has bough one of those cases & can tell me if its good. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
The edge is a hell of a case, with the only drawbacks with it being a bit heavy and thick, also it is really tough to remove once you put it on. The material it is made out of is pure awesomeness. I haven't tried the ngp but i assume it lives up to the same level of quality.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dimitri.k:
The only cases i would buy from them it would be the Rock Sony Xperia S case

All the other cases look fake / plastic to the point if you drop it, it will break as case.

Ended up getting a simple black case from ebay. It was also available on amazon.co.uk with lots of decent reviews.

"Sony Xperia S LT26i Hybrid Rubberised Back Cover Case"

Has a nice feel to the hard rubber/plastic. Almost similar to the back of the phone. It sticks over the edges slightly which is good and is actually rounder than the phone in the corners, so it is nice to hold.

It was pretty cheap, so cant complain about the quality ;) But I am happy with it and it seems like it should do a decent job protecting the corners and back of the phone.

There is no strip for the notification bar on the back which may annoy some people
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] viiv:
Yes the Incipio Edge is by far the best case for this phone. Here's a pic with it while trying to show off the 360 degree transparent bar with this case.

For reference sake this phone has the stock included screen protector in the box applied over top the shatter proof sheet.

I bought a transparent white case from ebay.

It's pretty thin, and a bit difficult to tell that there's a case on the xperia s unless you're really close. Putting it on and taking it off are both easy procedures.

The only negative was that it shipped from China so took me almost 3 weeks before getting mine. This might vary depending on your location though.

None of the CaseMate cases have any sort of cut out for the light bar. A case manufacturer ignoring the phones signature design element is an instant fail for any case for the Xperia NXT series.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] flinux:
That looks like a really cool case. If it's durable enough it might be a good one. Do you know if there's any problem with the headphones-jack regarding edges beeing too big?? I have had this problem with the case I have, I just can't use headphones because the plug won't go in completely. Basicly the edges on top of the case is in the way. Some headphones will work but others will just pop out very easily.

My Phone Case

Hi

I bought the enclosed for £2.45, post free. Its a hard plastic type, but also quite shock absorbent. I originally bought a silicone one, but although it was very nice, it annoyed me by "grabbing" the inside of my pocket when I wanted to answer the phone!

The case is nice, the screen protector is realy slim and seems to be of good quality. The only problem i had with the case is that volume buttons just sux to be pressed now, but i can live with that, since i hate dust and this case isnt a dust magnet. :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
The edge case added about 2.5 mm to the phone i would say. It was pretty damn thick. It also made it a bit heavier as well. The build and material are the best I have ever seen though.

My Spigen case is very thin, less than 1 mm. Also it ways next to nothing. If it wasnt shiny plastic it would have scored much better from me. With the DiNoc it looks great though. The carbon fiber and shiny plastic work well together.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
2.5 mm? That's really much. I don't want that case anymore :P this spilgen was my second option anyway. Another three questions: how you did this DiNoc? How much you paid? And do you know if it's available for the white one?

I can confirm that this case is rubbish and it also makes the phone look ugly even if it did fit. i like the sharp corners on the phone and this case makes them rounded and gives an ugly border. looks ok upside down. also the ports are near impossible to open with the case on as it is ill fitting.

3M di noc is a printed sticker type thing made for cars. I bought a 12 inch by 12 inch square off of amazon for 8 bucks I think shipped. I then applied some masking tape to my case and traced out a pattern I wanted. Then I took the patten and placed it on the DiNoc, then cut it out with an Xacto. Yes they do have a white version of the DiNoc, they make it in several colors. A silver version would look great on white.
