Very Cool Hard Case

I ordered this on ebay after watching the video on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9RaUUN1Pgh4
I have to say I'm pretty impressed with it. Very unique design. It's hard, and rubberized to so you can keep a good grip on it.
It's not cheap, I paid about 60 bucks USD for it. Check it out, you guys might like it., I know I do!
Cheers!

Thank you for that! Bit bulky, but has cool features. Please give us an update when it arrives.

Same here. Too bulky and cheaplooking for my taste.

Did look at one like that but I thought it was a bit bulky too. Like the hard front cover for bag protection though.
Using this one on mine with a screen protector and a slip case, for bag protection

It is excellent quality and offers good bump and scratch protection. It does not increase the footprint much and has a nice lip on the edge to give you a good purchase on the tab while holding it.
Cut outs for ports and buttons are spot on and have enough room around them for a the cables to attach correctly (others do not!)
For the price I am very pleased.

Love the kickstand.

I bought the 2nd case for my Galaxy TAB and it's exactly the same case like yours except with white side.
It's cheap but it's good.
The case posted by Big_Totoro is good but, kinda worried the front lid with standing stoppers
which might eventually create marking or scratches on Galaxy TAB screen.

I'm using Incipio Silicrylic with kickstand. It is very nice and rugged. The kickstand kind of sucks but I contacted Incipio and they are going to work something out. Kickstand aside, the case is nice and heavy duty without adding much bulk.

I ordered this case in black just over a week ago and it arrived today. Brilliant fit, barely adds any weight while the device feels fully supported. The different prop positions are also great. My only concern was that it wouldnt fold back on itself to allow good usage one handed, but it a actually folds back on itself really well.

Got mine
It isn't really very bulky. compared to a 3mm rubber skin yeah it is, but that isn't going to give you any protection anyhow
The rubberized outside is very grippy. Easy to hold in one hand without the fear of slippage.
The "stand" parts don't contact the screen at all when closed. It might if you have pressure applied to it, but again, it is soft rubberized finish on those stant peices as well on the inside.
The fit is brilliant. Leaving all the external buttons accessible. The front cover folds back easily, and don't fold over on itself at all.
It feels very sturdy and rugged. Not cheap feeling at all.
Just goin to touch on the "bulkiness" topic again briefly. Most leather or PU leather cases I have looked at at alot bulker than this case. While that MAY off a little more padding, I have noticed that most of those leather cases, the clasp interfers with the view of the screen.
Just my 2 cents
Cheers guys!

Thank you. I haven't found a retailer in Europe though. I hope this will change.

The first peice of accessories for my Tab looks wonderfull I like it , price is fair

Got the same hard case in black, OP said rubberized finish, though mine is more like a textured finish, not sure if there are 2 types?

looks a little plasticy?

Yes, certainly not what I would call rubbery or soft-touch. I haven't heard back from the seller yet.

Mine is Black as well. I guess we have a difference of opinion on what rubbery feel is
Its hard plastic with a rubberized coating. I dont know how else to explain it. Its not silicon rubbery or so rubbery that it would rub away.
Its not squishy, but its definatly not slippery. So there is a ruberized coating on it.

just got my GT for a week, i saw this case on "yeebay"
will order one during or after the xmas/NY holiday, so i'll receive it as soon as the post office people start working.

Just an update, it turns out that there are 2 versions - the GLARE is not rubberized. I bought this for ~$40 from the seller. According to the seller, this cost less than the rubberized and it made sense cause he is selling the "other" version for ~$60. But when I went back & look at the item # I bought from (he still has units selling under the same item #), the price has gone up to ~$60.
I think the case is fine as is and will not spend return shipping & extra $60 to get the rubberized finish, just put that towards a leather case instaed.

Hi Big_Totoro,
How did you find it at Ebay? I've no idea how it is called or who build it (Manufactor). I was not able to find it anywhere in the web. Can you give me a hint?
Merry Christmas to all people out there!

I bought one of these too and absolutely love it. The fit is perfect, the ergonomics are fantastic (someone has spent a lot of time thinking about how this will be used so it supports all positions), it provides great protection, and the rubberised surface feels great.
I reckon this is the best case I have bought for any device- most useful, and if anything the device feels smaller to me in the case- an illusion obviously, but a testament to the quality of it.
I bought a few cases for my tab, but this is the only one that I will be using

OtterBox Commuter Case Now Available

OtterBox has just released their commuter case for the HD7. Check it out:

Anyone want to buy my Speck case? $20 OBO- PM me if interested.

how much more protection does this offer than the speck case other than the screen protector?

Significantly more. You can drop on otterbox from 6' onto the pavement and all will be fine. Speck is a nice case though.

The Commuter Series Otterbox cases. Have a Silicon case wrapped around the phone with a hard case ontop of the that. The Silicone acts like a shock absorber while the hard case takes the blunt damage.
Wish they were making a Defender case for it. Its a Hard case lined with silicone/felt on the inside with a silcone case wrapped around the hard case. You can drop them from high hieghts with none-to-minor damage.
Picking up my case soon. My Best Buy is recieveing theirs soon, just want to go pick it up same day. Laziness is great. I'll post pics when I do.

I got it today.
Otterbox has stated that they are NOT making a defender case, so I went with the commuter case.
My main issue with other cases were how hard it was to push the buttons.
This one should win an award as best hd7 case. Buttons are easy to push, the phone has a great feel without being tooo bulky.
I dont have a camera to post pictures right now, but I can promise you it looks exactly like it does on their website.
It also comes with a screen protector, and it is the first screen protector on this phone that I have been able to apply with no bubbles! WIN!

so any pics?

I just got the case on Saturday after returning the Speck Pixelskin HD case I previously had. The Speck is a great case if you're more into a lighter weight and just enough protection type case. The design, while great, can be troublesome, as some lint does get stuck between the lines.
As for the Otterbox, apart from the lint magnet that the silicone is on the corners, the case is very high quality and feels much more solid if ever I should drop it by accident. The power button is also much easier to push now.
I'll try to take pictures when I remember.

I bought the OtterBox today and I am very happy. Installing a simple phone and well protected.

Interesting gadget...
Can you confirm please the shipping cost ?
As I read from their website:
34.95$ + 8$ (i'm in Italy) + 15% (taxes) = 49.40$
Not cheap, but the product seems very well done
Thanks, Marco.

I bought the OtterBox Ebay.cz. I came even with postage for 38 dollars.

Thanks a bunch for mentioning this. This was my biggest question about the Otterbox, and that's my one beef so far with the HD7. It was suggested by someone else to get a silicone skin type of case to improve the button action.
I ordered my Otterbox this morning.
How's the quality of the screen protector film?

Just received mine the other day. The Otterbox is an awesome case for the HD7, and doesn't add a lot of bulk. The only issue I have with the case is that it doesn't make the buttons any easier to push like the Speck case did.

That's weird.
I thought the Speck case's feedback on the buttons was not very accurate. The volume button was too easily pressed and was annoying as I would just hold the device with my right hand and accidentally press the volume button. Also the power button was very hard to press as I had to put more force compared to the Otterbox!
IMO, the Otterbox has a much better button responsiveness.

Krebster try readjusting the silicon inside you should hear a click when pressing the power button. This case rocks

best xperia play case

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.

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
btw i am sorry if my grammar bad ,i am not usually using english xD

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.

Black TPU Gel Soft Skin

I ordered this case on ebay and figured i would do a quick mini review for anyone that was interested in it. I've had it on the phone for about a week and its a decent case considering it was only $3. Its pretty thin and hardly adds any bulk to the vivid. It doesn't get stuck in your pants pocket or collect dust like some silicone covers. There are grooves along the side of the phone that make it easy to grip and hold in the hand. The only thing that kind of bothers me is the power button and volume rocker are a lot more stiff now but it's something I can deal with. I was also worried about there being no speaker cut out, which I knew before buying, but it's still as loud as it was before I had the case on. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with it and glad I didnt purchase one of the more expensive cases from ATT. If anyone has questions feel free to ask.

Cut out
Hey, I got the same soft skin from the same seller for my HTC Raider but mine has the speaker cut out really nice. Sometimes I wonder how they make money. I got mine for about $3 too with free shipping!

This one is about as slim as you can get.
-Brett.

I got the Raider case from Amazon for $4 (US). Hard plastic. The front and back snap together around the phone. I had a different case (AFG?), but it covered the power button and volume rocker, making them hard to operate. The Raider case has openings for the buttons.

Ordered the Incipio Feather last night, should arrive later this week. Comes with a screen protector too, which is a nice little plus. It's a few $ cheaper on Amazon vs myincipio.com site.

and I still can't find a place that ships over to Brazil...
but hey, still about the ROCK case, if you want some more vivid colors, you can look for Yetaa website, then go to MobileMate section and look for it. they have some really nice colors for this case.
don't know if that store is trustworthy, tho

I ordered a Rock case the day I got my phone, but also ended up ordering a similar case from Best Buy (Canada, online only, the US store seems to not stock it) since I didn't want to carry the phone naked for three weeks while I waited for the Rock to arrive from China.
They're virtually exactly the same, but I prefer the Affinity case to the Rock case (it was also about five bucks cheaper) as it offers a bit more coverage at the top and bottom of the phone. The Affinity case actually dips in to cover the area between the headphone jack and power button. I'll see if I can't take a picture to compare the two sometime. I'd definitely recommend the Best Buy case to any users in Canada.

I've seen that one at BB. I ended up getting a commuter case, and it's great but sometimes it's annoying that it's such a dust magnet. I have to take it out and wash the case weekly. I bought a smoke TPU case off amazon but I don't really like it, so I might grab that one from BB as a backup.

Yeah, it turns out I was misinformed about it not being available in-store. I just checked and they have them at the two nearest Best Buys to me.
You can't really go wrong for $10, especially without having to wait for it in the mail.

How weird would it look like if i put a black case on my white vivid? Just wondering. Most cases I find are black...

My Incipio Feather case arrived from Amazon today, sells for $16.50 there. It's what I expected... like all of the other feather/barely there type cases. Fits well, with a nice smooth rubberized finish. Also came with a free glossy screeen protector, which is a nice bonus. These types of cases don't offer a ton of protection, but fine for around the house/office, to avoid scuffs and scratches. For what it is, I'm happy with it.
