Rubber/Gel/Silcone case... - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've had an armor case since I got my Play, but it's all dirty now and I snapped the front of it...
Would like a proper gel case, ie one that feels like rubber, not plastic...recommendations?
UK. Ebay, Amazon, whatever...
Thanks.

Trident aegis or otterbox

Never, ever, ever buy an otterbox case for this phone. It pushes the gamepad away from the screen. The case I currently use is this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Sony-Er...030226?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43b4cb4912
This is the best case I have ever used. And I have used abotu 5 different cases in 18 months.

Switch to a trident, the case you're using has damaged my phone in the past, the top piece had raised imperfections on the inside which leave marks on the outside of your screen.
Trident over everything, been using since last October + it has a 1 year warranty.

I got the gumdrop case last week partially because of my 3 and 5 year old boys. While I have never used an otterbox case I am very impressed with the build quality and fit. It does add a little bulk and weight but I don't mind at all. I would recommend this case to anyone looking for premium protection.
I bought the case from the manufacturer website and got free shipping. It took about a week to make it to Maryland.

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.

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.

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.
I'm dissaponted that the ION doesn't "support" phone straps. Anyone know of any cases that "support" phone straps ?

Work Case

Hi
Im working within Construction and my brand new s3 is screaming for protection.
I have been lookin around for some "Work" cases. I have found otterbox defender, but its just pre order and i need a good case right now.
Is there something like otterbox defender for about the same price or lower that is better?
Are There any BIG pouches like krussel has that fits the s3 AND a normal case (NOT work case) ?
Regards
Hooterz
You can purchase the Defender from Amazon, now. The commuter is also a good option.
Maybe this too:

The ballistic sg maxx is a nice case and the plastic screen cover fits much tighter to the screen than the otterbox. Still it will let dust in though and it makes the screen look like crap. I took mine off snd have an hd screen protector on it.
Also ordered a pure gear 260 case so well see how that one is.

waterpfoof case for the s3

I know a lot of us has been looking for a waterproof shockproof dustproof snow proof case for our s3. Lifeproof has failed to deliver same goes for with otterbox, they are taking for ever. I found one that is available in a few hours. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/enflux/agilis-series-premium-galaxy-s3-case check it out. And it is cheaper than otterbox.

In my situation cautious yes. I work in a really dusty enviroment and I use the case only in the workplace. And I got my earlier Sony's screen broken because of no case in the workplace....
I don't use this case in my freetime. It's just too bulky to have in your pocket and phone is a little more difficult to use.
There's couple disadvantages in the case:
- you can't press the powerbutton on the rightside. It's blocked because the hinges of the case are on the right side.
- I have had problems with the voice. I need to take the phone out of the case when talking with someone because they can't hear almost at all for some reason. I have not researched do anyone else have this problem and can I do something for it
I have also a bike clip for the case. I have not tested it yet (I have some plans to use the phone as a cycling computer in the summer time).
I'm little struct between this or Griffin Survivor (I have them both). Griffin Survivor is much better in almost every way (belt clip in Griffin case is really good) if you don't need water proofness but it's much harder to put the phone to the case and take if off.
Got this case to use on my bike: http://www.topeak.com/products/bags/smartphone_drybag_5_bk
Edit: don't mind my sig, got a S3 now.

Would an s3 with extended battery fit in this case, im already looking for quite a while for something like this but never realy wanted to order one because i am worried that it would not fit for extended batteries
Do these waterproof cases float? If no, what kind of depths can they handle? (I assume 1m)
I'm waiting for the otter armor.
