It's in Amazon for $20:

http://www.amazon.com/Incipio-SE-13...d=1340763388&sr=8-11&keywords=Xperia+Ion+case

I think I'll go for a KaysCase, also in Amazon. I've looked for reviews online for the brand (they make cases for Ipad as well) and didn't find any negative one. Since Apple users are usually prone to complaining online, I think if the case was bad it would be all over the place.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Reminds me a lot of the Nillkin case I have for my Xperia S. I might have to order it. Though I really like the feel of the ion without any case. Such a nice phone and great build.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Deleted member 1483200:
I agree I think I will not be getting a case. Phone is built great
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dizarmstrong:
I would think twice about that. I already dropped my phone once and now there's a deep scratch on the rubber parts on the top and bottom of the phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Deleted member 1483200:
I never drop my phones lol.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mehran_o0o:
I have a gelcase that bought from amazon for 5 bucks... Feels good and is thick enough to guard and thin enough not to mess with the thinnes of the phone
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zerrudo:
I bought that case directly from incipio with a 20% coupon, only had to pay $21.83 after taxes. Just waiting for it to arrive in the mail I hope today!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jfalgout2003:
Yeah, I dropped mine and now have a chunk of plastic missing. I have an Incipio Feather on the way.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dizarmstrong:
I went ahead and bought the incipio silicrylic case. Pretty pleased with it so far. Only issue is the piece on the left side above the usb/hdmi port is really, really thin. I'm pretty sure that will be the first part to break.

Other than that, it's a really nice fitting, well made case. It even makes the buttons easier to push.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Corbanski:
Mine had a small fall now there is a tiny chip out of the screen. I bought a 2 pack of cases off amazon for $5
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SMN23:
Probably got ripped off for actually paying $40 for it from AT&T, but I went with the DualTek case.

http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/cases/sku6070412.html#fbid=vdDiBR1Z2Dg

Not really on par with the best Otterbox but it seems like it'll protect my phone pretty well. The plastic is thick and hard *laughs out of immaturity*. I have a thing for breaking my screens and the case has a lip around the front of the phone so I'm not too worried about the screen on this phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Auggy99:
I'm dissaponted that the ION doesn't "support" phone straps. Anyone know of any cases that "support" phone straps ?

hey there im the new guy in the room :D i have a case-mate barely there case that works great with the ion and has 2 tiny holes just to the left of the usb and mini hdmi ports. i just threw my tether line that i already had in there, and works like a charm. btw you can get the case on ebay. hope this helps, peace out.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] NUTSgoWEEE:
Just got my Incipio SE-141 today and I'm really disappointed. The buttons on the side for the camera, power and volume rocker are insanely hard to press. The rubber is way too hard. I don't know if it is just my case because I honestly don't know how anyone would want to deal with how hard you have to press to get the power button to turn on the screen. Will be returning it.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0089Q83SS/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00

I liked my otterbox for my x10 far far better. Maybe I will try the Incipio SE-133 SILICRYLIC case... any reviews on that one??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fcb13:
I read the review of that kind of case for the xperia S, seemed fairly positive. Take a look here: http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/04/02/nillkin-super-shield-shell-for-xperia-s-review/

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
I feel like an executive

Executive Case

Leather Case. Under 20$ shipped. Came to me the day after ordering it. so far i'm loving the design. super lightweight and low profile. when it's in my pocket i can hardly tell a difference between the phone with and without the case. all ports and buttons are accessible. takes a bit of getting used to. i've noticed that the lil flap that holds the front over the phone is magnetic and when the case is open and flipped around behind the phone the flap will magnetize to it and hold it there out of your way. Only issue i've seen is taking pictures. but it isn't as bad as you'd think. because when you hold the phone like an actual camera with camera button on top the flap hangs out of your way making camera shots a lil bit easier. case comes off in no time. and goes right back in without much problem. overall i'm incredibly happy with this purchase. for the price... this is the best case i've ever owned for a phone. If u are someone with kids ore just in general a bit more rough with your phones. a hardshell might be better for you. I chose not to go with a hardshell as all the dirt gets trapped behind it and rubs on the phone... (*my old isnpire*) used to look flawless till i bought a case for it and left it on for like 4 months... i want this phone to remain beautiful on the outside.

my 2cents

hope it helps

EDIT : it comes in Purple and Pink if black isn't your thing... wish they had white tho... :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] King Cole:
Erm, random question, what's a tether line?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
hand strap... kinda like a camera might have... put it over ur wrist... phone won't drop out of ur hand that way... some people love it... big thing in japan... :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] King Cole:
Yeah, you see a lot of them, especially on DSs here (all the kids have them), I've never heard the name in English though. I don't suppose that the word "tether line" encompasses both the strap, and the little charm that dangles from most non-smartphones (see included picture).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tribalartgod:
Where I live, we just call them "Phone Charms" ... There's a store in the mall here that sells them. They even have ones that change color or move inside a little snowglobe type thing when you get a call. You pair them to the phone via BT, for the moving and light up ones.

ALSO: Here are some more cases:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KEB64:
I've been contemplating this for a week or so now. I have a best buy giftcard that came along for the ride with my Ion. It would pay for a case. BestBuy, AT&T or any other local store does not carry a case yet. Well, AT&T had one that I didn't care for at all. Part of what attracted me to this phone was its sleek looks and metal back. I'm getting used to the no-case action. I mean, the Incipio Featherweight would probably be my case of choice and I'm not even sure that would protect from a drop any more than no case at all. So for now I'm leaning towards using that giftcard for something else. Maybe a bigger sim card. Maybe a couple CDs.

I bought a vertical leather holster type case on eBay for $11 shipped. I believe the brand is Cellet, black leather outside, natural on the inside. It has a snap belt-loop (that isn't all that secure, a moderate bump will cause it to unsnap), a detachable clip and a magnetic closure for the flap. It was about 1/8" to small for the the flap to close and get complete magnetic contact. It is leather and has stretched out a bit, now closing with ease.

I decided on the holster for a few reasons, one because I started tucking my shirt in, LOL, but mostly because I like the naked feel of the phone.

Well, it happened. I dropped my phone. Not a hard drop by any means. Slipped off my nightstand at bedside and landed between my bed and nightstand onto the wood floor. Luckily the screen is undamaged. The back however incurred a minor crease/dent in the metal case. I'll be getting a proper case for this bad boy as soon as BestBuy gets one in stock.

I agree completely. My new 2 part ballistic is nice. The thick silicone case & hard plastic side/back cover give the phone big rubber corners & recessed screen. The bigger side buttons are easier to hit and just as soft. I always have trouble with power button.

With screen protectors on the way my ION will be safe

Does anyone know if it's worth me waiting for otterbox or speck to make a case for this phone? Those are the ones I usually go with, but obviously they're not available for the ion. I'd wait a couple months if it was likely that they'd make them, but if not I'll go with the Incipio (I figure the silicrylic is as close as I'll get to those two).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
I kinda doubt they will make one. It seems like allot of the big makers are ignoring this phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
Take a look at the ballistic 2 part (1 silicone liner & 1hard outside) has no screen protection built-in, just covers all but screen.

It makes the side buttons easier to hit. And was only $20 with shipping :)

Just got my case. Fits great aand doesn't restrict access to the ports or buttons. I really like the feel of it too.

Only downside is I can't use my smartdock with the case on but that's the same with any case.

An interesting idea, but it looks way too bulky and in-your-face to me. I like the more streamlined look of the ones I mentioned. Isn't the Incipio 2 part as well? It's a little more pricey, but if it's more attractive, I'm in.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
Yes it is bulky. The case goes off and on very fast. For my everyday I use case if I go out I take it off.

The ballistic has big rubber corners where the incipio corners are hard plastic, but it is a 2 piece.

The ballistic was the only thing close to full coverage, like an otterbox, I found.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Spectra's comment brings up a good point. With most smartphone owners using some type of case and most cases being very close in thickness you would think someone would make a dock with that in mind. Such is life I guess.

Been living for a few days with the Incipio Silicrylic case and I am very pleased. Other the the tendency for the rubbery parts to pick up pocket lint (a problem for many of these types of cases) the case has been everything I wanted. Low profile, yet excellent protection. The rubber button bumperrs make it much, much easier to use the buttons, and the soft touch back is less slippery feeling than the stock phone. Very pleased (Note, I got mine for $12 shipped on ebay. I likely wouldn't pay the full price of $30 for anything other than an otterbox or a speck)

Thank you, my red andy case is on the way.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] marine417:
eh... i got the zagg full body protection film. putting it on was interesting... never had to "wet" a phone before putting on a protector. but its awesome, however, the edges are somewhat exposed. all the flat surfaces, even the curved back, is covered completely but the edges, if not put on properly, will not be covered.

only reason i got the full body protection film instead of a regular case was that i'm planning to buy the dock and connect it to my playstation display. i used to have an atrix with the lapdock and the body glove case with built in kickstand i bought did not fit in the lapdock even if the removable plate for docking with a case is off.

lesson learned... if you want to use a dock for your phone, make sure you don't have a bulky case, so stick with a thin case. i checked out the dock and my local sony store and it did not have a removable plate for docking your phone with a case like the atrix lapdock. so the protection film fits to what i need the phone to do.
