Got a PSP Go case from HMV for £5
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
I hope there will be an official case soon. Im kinda scared to scratch the screen.
I had a leather poach standard with my xperia play in the package
I don't know if it's country bounded or not what the content is
but basicly I got two things extra and that's a car poach and leather poach
the one I have seems to come from germany. Instructions were in german

the standard screen protector is actually very good and scratch resistant. i've been using it for a week and a half, taking it to work and play, in and out of pockets, even ones with zips (although been extra careful here i guess!). and still not a single tiny scratch anywhere.
I’m currently looking for a silicon case for the Xperia Play, which should be the same as the ones available for the Arc.
Anyone noticed a case like that? =/
Looking for the same, Please inform me if you found any.
Best Regards.
Just bought the Sony Ericsson SMA7110 Executive Hard Case for Xperia Play off amazon (uk) was £15 when i bought, now only £11.20!! (typical lol) (instead of £25 off se site) Arrived today and it does the job fits well e.t.c. I think i may also look into Zagg Invisible Shield All over Protection for peace of mind. any comments on what the zagg shield is like steelmm?

Thanks how does this work is it a clip on case or like a pouch that you have to take the phone in and out of.?
The Sony Ericsson SMA7110 Executive Hard Case has that elasticated middle, I guess its a snug fit? only worry is it would catch/scratch rear case?
At the moment still looking for a case but think I may just leave it with out. Keep screen protector fitted and then when the rear case can always be replaced if it gets damaged.
I had a Zagg kit once and know a lot of people who swear by them but they always end up pealing on the edge and look hideous when they do
Hopefully some decent cases or replacement covers will come out soon.
*it's back up to £14 on Amazon so you didn't do to bad Mozza2k11

This is official Sony Ericsson hard pouch case for the Xperia Play. It has a magnetised closing flap at front and as Laird mentioned the flap also doubles as a pull tab to remove the play.

Yes it is a snug fit, no movement (prob cause it was made for the phone ). And as far as catching/scratching the back when removing/inserting the play. I have had mine in and out of the case about 30+ times and no scratches or any visable marks. The case is lined with a velvet lining to prevent such things. I took a pic see below.
I was looking for a clip on case but due to the the slide motion i think the best kinda clip on case would be the zagg. I mainly want the zagg for the back cover for better grip since i already have 2 screen protectors on lol.
hmmm it seems your right, probably was cheaper but cost more for postage so they got the £15ish in the end But £15 instead of £25, bargain (looks cool too ). Would recommend to anyone.
I hate the look of cases on new shiny devices.
I just stick to my motto.
"Don't ****ing drop it! "
There's some designed hard cases on Ebay if you take a look. For the UK it will be under the international sellers section.
So... Today I didn't stick to my motto :0
No damage done though, quite a sturdy little thing. Was expecting the back to fly off at the very least but all held together well.
Oh, and this was on to concrete floor from about 3 feet !
I fitted a zagg full shield for now, all looking good apart from maybe 2 bits of dust trapped on the screen
as for the case, i have seen some hard shell cases on eBay, 3 different colors
Type SHELL CASE FOR SONY ERICSSON XPERIA PLAY to find them.
I'm wanting a leather case with the screw on clip at the back, as i use them to attach phones to my motorbike for the sat nav,
but I'm still unable to find one that will fit the play, my old desire cover is of course too thin
if anyone has seen any please let me know.

I bought one of these.... it works great! Extremely happy with that purchase and for the price you can't beat it.
I'm going to buy another one to mod and superglue some grippy pads on the back for gaming.

Thanks for the tip! Ordered one. Can you tell how long shipping took?
Has anyone bought or tried this case? in looks very interesting as its so thin it may be comparable to buying something like the Bodyguardz skins without the hassle of sticking that stuff on.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1mm-Ultra...sesPouches&hash=item4165054cf6#ht_2462wt_1168
Got a few days ago, pretty good, very very thin but slippery. Did a quick video to show it in action.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG2HBa-62Rc
i've got one. its about 0.5mm thick in some parts, so the only thing its good for is protecting the phone's body from scratches. it offers no drop protection, and no camera protection, and its not grippy either.
i prefer my ringke slim case and my anymode pebble jelly case, theyre grippy and dont add much bulk, and offer decent protection for the corners of the phone (if you drop your phone, its more likely to land on a corner) and it goes slightly over the edges of the screen, so if your phone does land face first, the glass is less likely to touch the ground, making it less likely to shatter.
Thanks Souai, I had the ringke for my galaxy s2 and i found that after a while it started stretching out and not fit the phone properly. The reason why im so keen on these ultra thin ones is more as an alternative is the skin shields. ill check out the pebble case though.
looks similar to the Case Mate Barely There.

$54 seems a a lot for a case, the 1mm is just $4 including delivery.
lol 5000 INR is not 54$ its more than 100$ to my knowledge and also that for a case is too much IMHO...
Anyway I would have bought one if it was sold from Amazon . Looks nice
Yeah, I hate ebay and their bloody fees, Ive ordered one though , it'll take a few weeks for it to arrive, ill report back then.

I ordered some from ebay (the seller sold them in pairs) - one was cracked from the start and unusable, and the other was slightly warped from being stuffed in the padded envelope. I found them to be not very grippy, and the cut-out for the m/usb was quite sharp, and being as I rest the Note on my little finger when I hold it one-handed, painful!
Hope you have better luck than I did - I just use the Note bare-back now!

Every time i buy a new phone get into a mad rush to buy cases for it, i use them for a week or two then ditch them because I prefer to use the phone bare, i'll probably do the same as you Towserspvm2000, but at below 3 quid a pop im not going to be losing out on much if it is crappy.
Just got this case from China. I like it. Simple and almost like it is bare. Only issue is the buttons are a little harder to push. But not a deal breaker. This is my third case. thinnest and the lightest. Not bad for $4US. Just got to make sure I don't drop it. More for scratch protection than anything.
hey guys, got the case and its pretty good but bloody slippery. Put up a youtube video to show it in action.

I currently just have a screen protector on mine with the royal blue back.
I bought an incipio ngp case but i find the color doesnt shine through and the phone feels ALOT better without a case.
Generally not a clumsy person so im not too worried about falls.
No, desnecessary
I bought a simple cheap silicone case and it saved my phone 5 times already (at least). So yeah my phone would be broken by now if I didn't get that case
Inviato dal mio XT1032
I ended up bying a $18 trident case. It kind of sticks in my pocket a bit now, and really I prefer the phone naked, but I tend to drop my phone enough that I'm just going to make myself get used to this. The fit is fine and all the buttons work great still, I just don't like the fact that it sticks coming out of my pocket, but it's a tradeoff.
I'm having a fosmon hybird case. I can say if I didn't have it my phone would b broken.

i always use my phones completely naked, nor the screen or the back has any scratches and i have it since last december, not to mention its a sub-200 dollar phone, while of course its money it doesnt cost 600 or more like some phones out there, if i had one of those i would but not on this one

Is this the one you are talking about? I am getting a Moto G Friday and this is one of the only cases that jumped out at me. I'd prefer a holster because I want a bulkier case (I drop my phone a lot) and don't want a bulky case in my pocket. The few reviews on this seems like it is a great deal and people are genuinely pleased, but there are only 4 reviews and a lot of these cheaper cases seem to have bogus reviews. I fish a lot and use my phone to take pictures of the days catch, so a rugged case is nearly a must, but I don't want to spend an arm and a leg if I don't have to. it's not like I throw my phone at things.
No I am using the hyposnap one but this seems really better than what I have now. I am considering ordering it right now. The hypo snap is a 2 piece of rubber and plastic back. It well protected both back and screen of my phone till now.

No
Use black bumper + xtreme guard full body :highfive:
Although I don't use an actual case, I still protect my Moto G with a tempered glass protector. I also applied a Dbrand black titanium skin to the stock black cover to give the phone a premium feel and grip.
naked
usally i dont like to use any case to my fone.. i love naked , yeah m dirty ROFL
Only when I go like on a run I use the incipio case

I use a Ringke Slim case and a screen protector.
The screen protector seems a bit unnecessary, I've seen tests in youtube of people trying to scratching it with knives and failing
The case... saved me a bunch of times, I'm a bit clumbsy.
A case is cheap insurance. While I have never dropped my phone from my hand, I have placed the phone in my shirt pocket, at some time bent over and the phone hit the deck on a few occastions. Another thing to consider is other people handling your phone. Some people are responsible and will do the right thing while others could care less. Of course this situation can be eliminated by not allowing anyone to touch your phone. Overall, a case gives me peace of mind and a lot less things to worry about. And no additional expense in insurance.
I initially used a belt pouch with a velcro starting with my dumbphones up to the Nexus S. Worked well, never dropped the phone in a way that damaged it.
I changed my mind and got an OtterBox Defender for my Note 2, and subsequently another one for the Moto G because I started using public transit again for my commute. All it takes is some dumb jerk with an oversize backpack to bump the phone out of your hands and onto terrazzo, tile or concrete. Holster-style cases work well for my needs.

When cycling I keep my Moto in my jersey pocket. I have a cheap silicon skin, then slip the skinned phone into a waterproof zip-lock bag designed to take your phone into the pool. I do the same when going to the beach, as I don't imagine sand is good for the phone. The rest of the time, no case.
I'm trying to find a case with a belt clip but I've only found one believe it or not. Searching Amazon I've found the same case rebranded a hundred times over.
Problem is, I bought one and it has a critical flaw. With the case on the phone, insert it into the slip holster (aka clamshell) and the railing of holster constantly pushes the power button, so every time I pull out the phone, it reboots! I though it was my phone at first. Anyway, all designs on Amazon are the same! Just overseas made and sold by differing names.
I checked eBay too
I have found some nice horizontal cases (with a flap) that I think will work but I'm feeling like I will never see a true clamshell or clip design for this device...
I don't pocket my phones at all. I find it ruins the finish and is uncomfortable to me.
Just a rant. Anyone know of a well built case that offers a belt clip. I'll pay the price for a quality case, gladly!

A crazy idea that might work....
I had an idea! The Axon 7 measures 5.97 x 2.95 x .31 and the Google Pixel XL measures 6.09 x 2.98 x .33. With my TPU case on, I think if I purchase the Seidio spring clip holster this might just fit the bill. The side rails might be cutting it close, but I am willing to take the chance.

I tried that one. It has a critical design flaw. When I put it into the belt holder, the belt holder pushes, and holds, the power button hard-rebooting my phone every time. I think the inner rubber phone case fits loosely which causes too much material over the power button. LOL Otherwise it isn't that bad of a combo.

Received my Poetic Revolution series case for my A7 today. I am very impressed by it thus far, especially by the built-in screen protector since there are no full screen tempered glass protectors for the A7 due to the curved glass. I don't plan on tossing my phone around to test out the durability but it feels like it is going to offer some good protection all around.
Is there any flip cover case with sleep/lock function, like the original?
Couldn't find any, on ebay or EU amazons, except the original from US which costs 55 $ with postage to Europe...
Nillkin, who has such nice quality and economy cases, has not produced an Axon 7 case.
Any suggestions pleaseeee ?
I'm very happy with the one given in the box.

You can buy the original from ZTE or B&H. Both dropped the price to 9.99 USD. B&H I know ships internationally-don't know about ZTE.

Please report back when you get it, as I'm very curious how it works with signal - every metal case I've ordered in the past for my other phones has reduced the signal slightly to significantly. I had thought the slightly wasn't a problem - what's a decrease of 1-2 bars when you're at full strength anyway?
The problem is when you're in a poor signal area and you NEED that 1 bar and you have to take the phone out of the case to work!
On another note, I wish that someone would make a simple backless bumper case - I miss those days when I could use my phone practically naked with just a protective bumper around the sides.

Ah, sorry to hear about that - I was hoping you had good news, but it seems not only did you not get what you wanted, but have to go through a bit of inconvenience to return the product. I appreciate that you shared your experience, though- thanks a lot for saving me from the same mistake.
I've using my poetic case for a few months now, and thus far I have a few complains
- flaps they remain open after a while, I cut them off both recently
- screen protector awful scratches easily, removed it and used a higher quality protector instead
now is near perfect the case plays well with third party screen protectors and is VERY sturdy, has saved me from QUITE a few drops

I spent tons of time looking for cases for the Axon 7 and found that honestly there are 5 variants. The poetic tank case, the Spigen "rugged armor" case, the dual layer (rubber plus plastic) case thats rebranded by tons of companys, the "iron man" dual layer case (Also rebranded by various companies), and the belt clip one with terrible reviews because of the problem you stated. There are a few others that are some variation of the above or some see-through ones with bumpers but honestly none seemed satisfactory.
In light of this I decided to opt for ZTE's own hybrid material case. I haven't dropped the phone since I put it on but it is definitely sturdier than the case they included with the phone and the material is hard enough yet flexible enough that it seems like it would be able to take a hit without causing any damage to the phone. It also fits really well and is not bulky either. I realize this might not be what you're looking for but for some strange reason good quality cases are far and few between for this phone (perhaps due to some kind of licensing issue from ZTE?) so that case might be your best bet :/. You could potentially get some other kind of belt holster and have this phone sit in it while in the case.

Aluminum doom
Though this question was posed back in May , I didn't see a response answering the question so I'll answer it for you in case anyone else is curious . I purchased the Mirror case for $3.89 on eBay in piano black . ( I always seem to find better deals there and easier to navigate then the Big A but that's just my opinion). It is indeed a beautiful case and mine came in with no damage whatsoever . Indeed it is a tight fit putting the back on but once you get it in place everything does line up perfectly . The concern from another member was whether or not the signal would be blocked with the aluminum casing around the edges . The answer is a very easy yes . The signal degrades horribly . I only get two bars inside my home and with the case on it dropped to 0 with no signal whatsoever . It does get some signal outside but it's not worth using this case if I may be missing important calls or messages from clients . Sadly it's just a beautiful case with poor execution with the materials involved . Fortunately I didn't lose much on the case itself . I really wanted this one to work strictly because it looked so awesome even though it's not great when it comes to protecting the phone itself in a drop . Hope this helps if anyone else was curious about the case.

Thought I would start a new 'case thread' for the Z Fold 2, as the current one in this forum is very US orientated and the cases discussed there - are simply not available in the UK right now.
I will kick this off though with a high level of frustration, that this is the hardest phone to get a bloody case for! Especially given that it's one of the most fragile. Sure you can pay £80 for a flimsy bit of leather that only protects the back of the phone from Samsung. That's just a crazy price and poor value for money. But as far as I know that's the only case available to buy today (28th September).
I ordered the following Araree Bonnet leather Case from MobileFun 3 weeks ago and it's still out of stock for at least another 3 weeks:
https://www.mobilefun.co.uk/araree-bonnet-samsung-galaxy-z-fold-2-5g-wallet-stand-case-black-82183
There are no other cases available from them, they are all out of stock. Same with Amazon, where you are going to be waiting for several weeks before items are in stock. I really don't understand why, I have never had this issue with a new phone before, there were cases available for the Note 20 Ultra 2 weeks prior to the release date.
Yeah the case situation is pathetic. Just using the official leather at the moment as its better than nothing.

I think Samsung are charging way too much for the leather one, I bet they deliberately priced it so high because the people likely to buy this phone have a bit more cash to splash. Or that they know the cases are in short supply.
I bought the official leather case for my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. It's twice the size of the Fold 2 case but cost considerably less, £30 (with a discount) and even that was too much in my opinion. I really need one that protects the cover screen, hence the reason I went for the Araree case.

Don't all flame me for this post... but I bought the cheap (China) faux leather hard case on ebay for £5 gbp and its actually perfectly fine. Its also available as UK stock for about £9 with quicker delivery

The rear cover fully protects the camera bump and sides.
The front cover protects the edges of front screen and sides (but does make swiping down from top of screen gesture a bit hit and miss for my big fingers)

Its cheap but it does the job. I bought black to match my mystic black fold2
(My fold2 is my only device so I cannot take a pic of the device with case fitted sorry)

Good to know about this.
The one you bought is not the same one I was looking at but similar:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392948709396
It's cheap but it's better than nothing, I just ordered it now, because I really need something to protect this phone until something more premium comes along.
So thanks for sharing the link, I will update here when I receive the one I just bought!

So I ordered a cheap case off eBay whilst I wait several weeks for a much better one. Supposed to arrive this week. Of course on eBay, "UK STOCK" posted by Royal Mail that takes over a week to arrive means only one thing of course... they are being sent from China. Which I mostly expected when I ordered but took a chance that maybe someone was being honest. No wonder people claim item hasn't arrived and get their money back and still get to keep the item.
I am getting desperate for ANY kind of case for this phone, but the only one available from Samsung is the leather one (£80) or pay £150 upwards from a shark on eBay who clearly only snapped up a whole load of decent cases to add 200% mark up profit, adding over £100 to a £50 case. Crooks.
So no cases available in the UK at a non inflated price. I checked all the usual online outlets and all citing 'expected' stock in 3-4 weeks. What a frustrating crazy situation, for such a premium and arguably delicate phone, why on earth is there such a shortage here?

Update: One of the cases arrived today, just a hard clear back cover:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Sams...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
It fits perfectly and will protect the back glass at least. It seems good quality for the £3 I paid, but like all these kind of cases , it adds weight to the phone on one side. Still it's better than nothing!

The £5.99 cases on eBay UK are pretty good and protect.botg the front and back ... I bought the black one which is exactly the same as the Spigen Thin-Fit case but without the brand name and for a fraction of the price
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Sams...504442?hash=item48ed93623a:g:SqUAAOSwy0VfZHXS
I am starting to think Samsung, Spigen and others are taking Z fold2 owners for mugs with over inflated pricing on cases...

Yeah, you're absolutely right, the premium cases for this (very expensive) phone, are almost impossible to source, and when you eventually find one they are over-inflated prices. Trouble is sellers know that desperate consumers (who possibly have more cash than your average consumer) will eventually part with their money to protect such a valuable phone. But I am not falling for that. I have had an order for the Araree Bonnet leather case with MobileFun for over a month now and it's still showing at least a further month for stock to arrive. It's a quality leather cover case and is only costing me £35. In the meantime I am just keeping it in a neoprene pouch. The snakes on eBay buying these up and selling them for £180 - I hope someone screws them over at some point.
Anyway thanks for the link to the one you bought. The bezel on the front cover looks very thick though. Is that a bit awkward to use? I ordered a similar cheap Chinese one off eBay just to tide me over.

The only problems are swiping from the edge gestures (eg open side-bar swipe from right or notifications bar swipe down from top) which are difficult and a bit of trial and error at times. I am old school and use the 3 button navigation so not sure if gesture navigation is affected or not.
All things considered tho I prefer to use this (inexpensive) Chinese made case to protect my expensive new phone until such time as mid priced (£20 max) cases from popular brand names are widely available and are actually in stock.
P.S. for the first few days I before my case arrived i used a "sock" or "sleeve" repurposed with the fabric mesh bag that came free with my Anker 10,000mAh portable battery. Better than nothing.

Don't all flame me for this post... but I bought the cheap (China) faux leather hard case on ebay for £5 gbp and its actually perfectly fine. Its also available as UK stock for about £9 with quicker delivery
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-STOCK...var=661853030175&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
The rear cover fully protects the camera bump and sides.
The front cover protects the edges of front screen and sides (but does make swiping down from top of screen gesture a bit hit and miss for my big fingers)

I bought the same one but had to stop using after a few hours, found swiping up and down was more miss than hit.
I've got the VRS Hard Drop active on order, for the time being i'm just carrying it in a 'ShockSock' which to be fair does the job well
where did u order it from

its very expensive to ship from the brs website
I've already chipped my hinge due to lack of protection the back leather on its own isn't enough

Direct from the VRS website, I got a 15% off code (SMILEAGAIN30) when I went on the site, I think it was $53 dollars all in for the case and postage. The discount basically gave me near free postage.
I went for the black version, shipping at the end of the month apparently...so ShockSock it is till that arrives
I just received one of the Chinese two piece black plastic ones that were shown in this thread. The frame for the front part is very stiff and while this means it will stay put, the amount of force needed to put it on has scared me from doing so. I don't want to scratch my phone putting a case onto it! Or am I worrying unnecessarily? I much prefer the softer gel ones.

Dropped it lucky it wasn't more damage. I probably need an hinge case lol

I think you may be worrying unnecessarily about the front cover I have had the Chinese case on my fold2 for 3 weeks now and no marks visible (I only removed it to check after reading your post ). Also I left the factory fitted front screen protector on the glass so I guess i have the additional scratch protection provided by the film cover.
I'm not in the UK, but the Netherlands.
I'm currently using the Shocksock I had for the original Fold, now on the Fold 2. It doesn't fit as well as on the original, but it's OK.
I bought a Fitbag from Germany, but those things are precision-made, and even with Samsung's very thin leather back cover on the phone, the whole thing becomes too fat for the sleeve.
The VRS case looks nice. Has anyone received theirs yet?
Another nice-looking one is the Spigen thin case.
There's rarely a source for any of these cases in the Netherlands, so ordering from the US is expensive and is often fraught with extra charges at the door.
