Hi!
I'm looking for a protective skin for my Xperia. I bought SGP Shield but i don't like the body protection because there are a lot of spaces between the panels, and the phone may scratch easily in some places (specialy the chromed parts).
Did anyone installed the Skinomi TechSkin? In their pic it seems that it will cover better the phone without any space left uncovered.
Skinomi: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B002L9FDPK/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=301185&s=wireless
SGP: http://mojel98.cafe24.com/eb-allcra...son_xperia_x1_incredible_shield2_contents.gif
The screen protector from SGP is impressive. I like it.
Thanks in advance!
I don't have it, but please post if you get it. I would like something that covers just the chrome, as that seems to be the most delicate part of the phone, and covering it won't affect the aluminum feel of the phone.
Let us know how the TechSkin fares!
If it's the same one that I have, then it is the best screen protector out there. Reason I'm not sure if it's the same as mine is because it was advertized differently when i got it. On ebay it was called the clear protector for xperia without the brand name you mentioned. The only similarity between the two is the fact that the skin cuts are exactly the same. because my phone is covered in all the areas and the one you posted matches that. if they mention that the protector material is the same stuff they use to line helicopter propellers, then it's the same stuff and i would highly recommend them.
Thank you! I have ordered this product. I'll post when it arrives over 3-4 weeks, and tell you what I think about it.
Cheers!

Yup, same one: Skinomi
I'm interested in the full skinned body to protect my X1, but I'm not too sure because I'm afraid of how it will end up looking. I saw a Fuze with it and if you looked closely, you could see clearly the skin lines on the sides. Is there any possibility that you could post some close up pics as to know how it looks like?
Thanks in advance!
Oh! And hows is the feel to it with the skin? Is it too glossy that the original fuze?
Thanks!!
Sorry I'm replying so late.
Well, I removed the skin from my X1 (I'm planning on buying the black housing since I have silver), so all that's on it is the screen and the battery cover. I can say confidently that it feels great. If your hands are moist, you can slide your fingers across it. Same goes for if your hands are dry. It doesn't feel cheap. And it won't stick to the sides in your pocket, you can pull it out smoothly with no trouble. If I ever get around to posting a pic, I'll do so. Cosmetically, you can't really tell it's there from a glance. Up close you can see it, but it's not all too different from an X1 without it.

Thank you!
I have ordered it some 3 weeks ago. It should arrive any day now. I've also ordered the leather pouch from noreve. I hope that I'll install the Skinomi only in extreme cases .
Cheers!
Skinomi installed and not worth of it
Its true that its improve the protection but lacks of stay on phone, its separates more day after day from the surface of the x1 if you puts the x1 inside a cover or in a pouch without mention the risk that you have to "WET" the skinomi to apply in on the phone! i had to get a hairdrier with me LOL. I not recommend this.

Thanks. I've bought my Skinomi TechSkin, and also a Noreve leather pouch. I don't need the Skinomi TechSkin anymore, so I can't communicate you the results.

Are these scratch-proof made of military helicopter blade material like the protech & Zagg shields?
Look at otterboxes new case for the xperia play. I can tell you its the best case for the phone.
do you have one ? if so does it make the phone feel a lot bigger
I had an otterbox case for both my droid 1 and D2G. Loved them both. Wouldnt buy anything else. On my OG, I had the ring break 4 times and each time I emailed Otterbox they sent me out a free overnight replacement at not cost to me. Super awesome customer service. Here is the link for the otterbox for Xperia Play
http://www.otterbox.com/sony-xperia-play-cases/sony-xperia-play-cases,default,sc.html
Looks very similar to the Verizon one except the Verizon one has some design details (circles around the SE logo) and doesn't have the Otterbox logo. The Verizon one is substantially cheaper too.

So it broke twice and you are recommending them
Obviously costs them **** all if they are sending replacements like they know they are going to break.
Im using the Trident Aegis Series for Sony Ericsson Xperia Play http://www.tridenteer.com/categories/Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-Play/Aegis-Series-for-Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-Play/.
Its a very good case i highly recommend it. Id say either the otterbox or the trident case would be a wise choice for a case.

Hey dude, what does your aegis case look like at this point? I had mine for 4 days and on the 5th day I look at it and theres an outline on the front and back of it in a brown/greenish hue color. I tried alcohol, vinegar, cleaning solution to get it of but it won't go. I'm starting to speculate it is the color rubbing off.
Any ideas to fix this? I think the material is polycarbonate.
I've got the Verizon black case (the one with the circles rippling out from the SE logo) and it's definitely a case that looks good on it. I think if you dropped it at just the wrong angle though you could still mess up the phone pretty bad. Again, small chance to hit the floor in that way and a great looking case that gives personality to the phone.

I cannot see what you are describing. Mine looks like the day i got it. Apart from all the crap that sometimes sticks to the black polycarbonate parts but a simple wipe gets rid of most of it.
What colour is yours? Mines red, not sure if it matters. Tbh tho mines never in and out of my pocket (normally in my hand or in the car or on my desk e.t.c) so maybe i have this to look forward too? lol. Have you tried contacting trident and seeing if they have any advice?
I wouldnt have thought its the colour rubbing off since it should have been moulded in the colour of the case? Not coated? Not sure bud. Sorry i cannot offer any advice.
Ok so im basically tossing up between the otter and trident case as they are the main branded ones.
Can someone using any of these cases let me know which one makes the phone thicker than the other or what one has advantages over the other.
Im gonna grab the one which makes the play less thick with it on.
I dunno about you guys, i have tried all sort of design case, flipbook, flipdown, silicon casing, rubbercasing, hard casing...
and i think the best is what it is out of the box
xperia have the perfect thickness and the shape is very grib friendly, I dont see why we need to add on casing..
casing is for Iphone guy whose iphone is so fragile... xperia play cover is just a plastic, and it is easily changable... why add casing?
the choice is yours.

The aegis case is extremely comfortable and nice looking....I switched from cyan to dark green and I like both....dark green stains less though.....I liked otter case but its only in black? Lame...I love colored cases....bling bling mofos!

i`ve ordered the Trident aegis case in this army green colour,wanted the cyan at first but it`s a little too flashy .-) after i`ve read fantastic reviews,it is expensive,never spent that much on a phone case but i think from the looks and Protection it`s one of the best cases for the phone.
also,for me personally its very hard to play longer than half an hour with the xplay because the part with the gamepad is too thin,the outer edges are somewhat sharp and make it uncomfy to hold,resulting in aching fingers.and i push the power button often in shooting games making my screen go off..very annoying .-)
also the L and R buttons are a pain in the ass to press and the volume rocker feels like it`s falling out every second,its too short and it`s got a very cheap feeling..
i had a leather pouch with my xplay but i don`t like those cases as you have to pull out the phone for every little thing,so that pouch always ended without phone in my jacket because in hectic situations you dont have the time to put your phone back in the pouch .-) silicon cases i don`t like either.
Hopefully my Trident Case arrives soon,can`t wait to test it in a extended gaming session,looking forward that it will increase the grip and overall feel.
I got one from ebay for £1.99 delivered. It is a lovely case that adds hardly anything to the hanset in terms of bulk.

It's pretty solid dude....and good thing you didn't get cyan....I got that at first but the color faded and basically got stains.....they let me send it back for free and now I have the dark green.....it's not as cool looking but it's sleek and still looks the same it did the day I got it

my Trident Aegis Case arrived today,took 14days to arrive from california to germany(cheapest delivery method) and i must say:i`m impressed!
the 2 parts fits like a glove,there is a silicone inlay in the backcover side,which makes it even more protected to heavy drops, the overall feel of the case is great,its very sturdy and the extra thickness is indeed really nice for gaming.now it feels like a real handheld portable gaming device! the volume rocker feels much more solid now and it`s optimal to press,also the L and R buttons and the power button doesn`t stick out so obviously as before,so no more nt intended power off while gaming,the case is kinda ergonomically formed .-) the case itself looks like some kind of underwater gear,which is a nice touch imho
only downsides i can find so far,the 4 buttons at the bottom are slightly hard to press because the edge of the cover is very near the buttons.but i think they are nonetheless badly placed/too tiny even without this case.(hoping for ICS on screen buttons).second there is no silicone plug for the usb cable opening,which would be a neat addition.
for the bulkiness,it adds definately some extra bulk and a little weight,you might consider this if you are wearing skinny jeans .-) but for me its ok,as i said,when you game with this case,it feels like a real handheld gaming machine.and theres a trident icon on the back which is anti slip,so no more slipping phone on the desk which is also nice.if you want a great case and the price is ok for you,get this one,especially if you game a lot with the Play,gives a complete new,great feel.
hey guys ,so i heard from my friend ,that he ever read about a hard case for slide gadget can harm that gadget "slider thing" ,so its can loose up ,its that true? ,because i already boght one like that hard case from ebay *i am sorry ,i can't pose any outside links D:
but i am too afraid too use it because of that rumor ,i already search it in google ,but can't find anything ,please answer

I just ordered my Trident case In black can't wait!

I have the same exact case Splinters69 bought on ebay. It feels really smooth and adds a bit of grip to the xperia play. It hardly adds any extra weight and the price is really good.
Hi guys,
I usually post on the Galaxy S II and Sensation forums, But I recently received an Xperia Play for review - so I'll be doing coverage on some accessories for it. Today, I've got the BodyGuardz Carbon Fiber armor, a thick skin you apply on your Xperia Play that offers scratch protection and design. Overall, I'm pleased with the skin and definitely recommend it. Bear in mind, this provides NO drop protection.
Full review below:
That's a nice review. At first I thought it was case and was confused by your last sentence, but after watching the video it was all clear hehe.
I really liked how it looked and that red color was just amazing looking, I wish they sold those around here
You left out the most important thing!
When you slide out for the Gamepad,you didnt show that!
But i assume its fine,good review...but after i saw the face of the phones screen i dont think there is a need for it for now

Sorry about that, didn't think it was necessary since the skin only covers the outside the device. Sliding the gamepad does not affect the skins at all if that's what you were worried about.
It looks great. I seem to be in the market for a new case. I can't seem to find anything that has a slim fit like that one, but I also need something that will protect the phone form being dropped.
Is this just a sticker? What sort of protection does this provide? Just so the back doesn't get scratched?

That's exactly what it is, a sticker.
But it's not "just so the back doesn't get scratched" because there are other films for that. This one has design and it's cool IMO (3 colors for you to choose).
Go to the BodyGuardz site, search for Xperia Play and hit the Full Body Protector. That one is just so the whole body doesn't get scratched.

How does it stack up to
a zagg cover/sticker?
Sent from my R800x using XDA App
play looks like a doormat now..
Does this sticker give you a better grip?
Because that's the most annoying thing about this phone, the backplate is too smooth, it slips easily out of your hand
Very lovely the sticker, the bad thing is that not protejera almost at all, but a new aspect,
hello, just want to check something. after applying the sticker, will the phone fit into the DK300 multimedia dock?

After testing some cases out there in the market there are 3 problems with alluminium cases for smartphones (in my opinion makes them not an option for me)
a) They are heavy. In a 140g phone like the XZ, you will notice the added weight of the alumiun, a lot.
b) They sometimes scratch the phone if you are not careful, especialy on the XZ that has the very poor shatter sheet "protecting" the glass on the back
c) They add way too much bulk to a phone like the xZ wich is only 7.9mm
TLDR: Alluminium cases for XZ are not worth it (imho)
Oh..guess have to pass it..God they look so cool!!
DevilCase looks cool, but very expensive and there are no reviews.

They look great, Not to bulky like it was previously mentioned. Yes, they do add size, but it looks good. That particular case, slide in very easily, and the give the phone appearance. Down side to all aluminum cases, they mess with the signal a little. Nothing major, but its passable. good Good case. I have 3 of them.
Ya, just wanna see if anyone bought it.

I had a metal bumper, but with the bumper the connection is very bad.
I bought the WIT Inc metal bumper off of amazon. It was really nice at first, but quickly lost its appeal. The fit was loose. It would rattle and annoy me after a day or so. And here's the kicker, I actually had a full Skinomi skin on it. Front, back, and all sides...and that thing was still loose. As for finish, well it was beautiful. But form before function is not for me. Lastly the smooth metal edges made my phone want to slide off of anything but a perfectly flat surface. Sounds silly but you would be amazed how easily it starts moving. Arm of my recliner, dash of car, and where.

Thanks for stopping me from buy and try metal bumpers.
You save my money.
Bumpers are great. Metal is nice and classy. But the two don't mix. Get a nice plastic/ TPU bumper. Right now I'm using docks a lot so I'm going almost all natural with a skin applied and have no problem. I've always been an otter box guy accepting this is difficult. Going out in the world with a phone that's not in a case makes me feel like I'm trying to sneak through a cactus field naked.

Hi all. I got my g4 about a week ago and I've already nicked the front bezel. I have a case that I use when I'm running or at the gym, but I really like the phone without a case for day-to-day use. I like the look and feel of the leather so i really don't want to cover it.
Does anyone know of a good way to protect the bezel? maybe a thin skin to stick onto it?
thanks.
EDIT:
It looks like there are some bumper options available. I'll give that a try.
