Speck Candyshell Case

I searched for any information on the Speck case, but didn't see anything on them. I just had one overnighted to me from Verizon, and I am really enjoying it so far. Seems very durable and looks really sweet. The power button is a bit stiff, but I have the optical button bound to wake from sleep as well so its not so bad. Speck Candyshell Case If you are interested in picking one up overnight, you can use the coupon code FREEOVERNT.

I personally wasn't too fond of that case. I bought it, had it for 3 days, and sold it on Android Central for $15. The red on the case was more pink than red and the back of the case scratches far too easily. To each their own though.

This is the case I have and I love it. I left the clear sticker on the back slides out of my pocket very easy.

Awesome case, im pretty sure your not going to get a better case protections wise. It looks really good too. It does scratch easy, but meh, its a case thats why its there. It even has raised edges so if you flip it upside down the screen doesn't touch. The fit is crazy and probably cant be topped by another case. Im waiting for unrevoked so i can root my phone and hopefully get enough battery life back to where i can ditch my massive 3500 battery and case and go back to my speck.

is this case 1 piece, or 2 like innocase active
and.anyone have any pics of it on their phone?
Nm, its a 1 piece...have 2 already

If you guys decide to get it,
http://cgi.ebay.com/SPECK-CandyShel...067828?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35adbc55f4
I'm going to buy mine from there once I get enough money

Ive used speck candy shells on all my devices (Iphone, iPad, incredible). Can't beat it for what it is, extremely durable, slim, raised front for screen protection, and fits to form of the phone. The soft inner material will never scratch, and it doesn't mess with Full screen protectors! Wish they made them in other colors.

I have this case and it's a very good case... the red areas do get discolored/dirty though

I've heard alcohol on a cotton ball will clean the pink and restore it to red.. haven't tried it yet..

This is one of the best fitting one piece cases I have had. The red does tend to get dirty easily but cleans up easily with just water and a piece of paper towel. I prefer it to the two piece cases because if you drop it it don"t fall apart like the others. Buttons were a little stiff in the beginning but have loosened up to the point where they are just perfect now. I would recommend this case to anyone.

omg thank you i was looking for this!!

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.

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:

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.

[REVIEW] Mercury TPU case

Here's a quick & dirty pics review for the Mercury brand TPU case.
I bought this TPU case from eBay at a whopping $7.77 US total once shipped. Definitely not a bank breaker.
I have bought it from supermom28. You can get one here. I ordered it on January 4th and received on January 16th, the seller even included a cheap plastic screen cover. Sadly it seems the white color is currently out of stock, so if you are looking for one you might want to look elsewhere!
Plastic quality is very good. The first thing I noticed when unpacking it was how rigid the TPU felt. My other TPU case feels much more rubbery than this one, albeit not as much as a silicone case. This can be a pro or a con, depending on your preference.
One con I can see is that since it's less rubbery, it's also less grippy. The Nexus S in my opinion is plagued by the fact it's a slippery phone, so you have to make sure you have a strong grip when taking it out of a pocket or your purse, if you're a lady. This case does not solve this problem.
Two pros I can see however is that it will not attract dust and particles as much as more rubbery cases and it is much shinier. The case is very light reflective, definitely looks good.
The cutouts are good. They're not absolutely perfect in their location, but they're not atrocious either. One example would be the headphones jack. The edges are smooth and well finished.
It fits snugly on a i9020a model. Snugly might not even be the right word, it can even be quoted as being nearly too tight. Fitting it on the phone can be a bit difficult, mostly due to the material rigidity so it's important to fit certain edges first or your might end up with slightly misaligned power and volume buttons.
The color is vibrant. Although in the pictures it seems the white is cream, this is due to the low quality point and shoot camera I'm using with little to no possible adjustment to white balance. It is definitely white and I imagine the other colors would be as vibrant. One very nice touch is the inclusion of what resembles automotive paint flakes in the plastic, giving nice looking silvery reflective shards.
Some users have noted the obvious engrish on the case logo. If you dislike it, it can easily be "sanded" off using a cube of sugar and a bit of rubbing. Another curious inclusion however is the engrish inside the case. Just look for yourself...
Thanks for the warning Mercury, I'm sure removing this sticker could yield lethal results.
All in all, I could say I'm pretty satisfied with this TPU case. It's cheap and looks good. My only gripe would be the slippery feeling of this case. My other TPU case added grip to the phone, this one does not. Otherwise, a very solid buy.

Thanks for the review - I was having trouble deciding on which colour case to get for my new Nexus S but think I'm definitely going to go for the white one now - it looks great!
I contacted the eBay seller 'supermom28' a couple of days ago and they did reply saying they will be getting the white case back in stock, but no ETA on that so I may have to look elsewhere.

The only thing I'm not digging is the openings for the buttons, but other than that, it looks like a nice case.

This is something I'm not too sure about. On my other TPU case the buttons are covered. I like the unified look it gives. However, I kinda enjoy the feeling of pressing directly on the buttons rather than squishy rubbery plastic. They're obviously a bit recessed too so that's something else to consider.

I have two of these and I love them. Too bad the white one went up in price so high.

i got the black one, the writing on the outside comes off with your nails and i removed the sticker from the inside and it was covering a spot that's not painted!

I just got mine in the mail yesterday. I forgot to specify the color in the paypal notes and ended up getting a white one. I am not the best at putting on screen protectors so i didn't do a great job with that. But funny enough, I dropped my phone for the first time on the way to work to pick up the case. It made me realize that I really want one. Luckily, the back cover just ended up with a scratch. My phone is defiantly protected, a bit weightier, a bit thicker, but still fits in my pocket.

I've got a read one and my wife thinks it looks like a ladies phone case. I may end up getting another color

Trident Case Aegis

Presenting to you: Trident's Aegis Case for the Google Nexus 7
Let's Review...
Trident offers tough cases that are proudly made in the USA. I've had several Trident cases in the past (HTC EVO 4G, HTC Flyer, Samsung Galaxy Nexus and now the Nexus 7) I would describe Trident as an Otterbox alternative with a pop of color.
What's In The Box?
Silicone cover
Polycarbonate shell
Screen protector (glossy finish)
Cleaning cloth and applicator card
Aesthetics
I'm a fan of bright colors that stand out, so I like that Trident has chosen to provide color options for their Aegis case. The case comes in Green, Red, Pink, Blue or Black. I opted for the "Trident Green" and am impressed with how bright the case is. The case is just as vibrant as it looked on Trident's website. Trident went with more simplified branding on this case with having only the Trident shield logo in the center of the case and only having the actual "Trident" words logo on the inside of the silicone case. The polycarbonate shell is mostly textured with a few smooth areas.
Protection
This case offers what I'd consider mid-level protection. It has a thick silicone cover to protect from drops along with port covers for the microUSB port and headphone jack. The silicone is very grippy and makes it much less likely for the tablet to slip from your hands. The Polycarbonate shell adds a bit more protection and helps make the case feel much more solid. The only protection you get for the screen is the included screen protector. I'm not a big fan of the glossy screen protector, so I kept my matte one on.
Price
The Trident Aegis case runs $44.95 (+ free shipping on U.S. orders) on Trident's website (www.TridentCase.com) which I feel is a bit steep.
Final Thoughts:
I've only had this case for a day so far, but I don't see myself taking this off anytime soon. My "official" N7 folio case seemed to make my N7 slip from my hands way too easily and the flap would get in the way. I feel much more confident in letting my kids (3 &4) play on my tablet now without the need to hover over them. If you're looking for a case that stands out and offers a bit more grip and protection, I'd definitely recommend you try this case out.
Note: The pics attached were taken from my GNex with flash, so they're a bit washed out.

That's weird. I've never had any issues with their customer service. I had the Cyclops case for my old Evo 4g and had an issue with the proximity sensor (it was a yellow case) and they replaced it quickly. I also had a problem with a screen protector not fitting right and they sent me a new one quickly too.

Well I got the cases today. I really like them. I put the red and blue on my kid's tablets. Not even a few hours after I put them on, my daughter (she's 3 1/2), was chewing on the silicon part of the case and cracked the screen. It's sadly funny. They've had their tablets for about 2-3 months and have done great with them. They had Samsung Captivates before they had these. I totally didn't think about the "candy" color and the "gummy" part of the case. And did I have the accident protection for her tablet? No, of course not, DOH! After I get her tablet fixed or repaired, sadly, even though I love the Trident case, I'll be getting a full Otterbox for hers. Nothing chewy on that, lol.

Wow! That sucks. Otterbox might be a good way to go for the little one. I let the kids take over my original iPad when I got the N7, lol. Hope you don't have much trouble getting it repaired.

I'm so pumped!! I just used the promo code and got me a baby blue case. I was going to get pink, but hopefully they will sell just the soft parts of the case separate later on and I'll get it then.

So today I noticed that my green silicone case is starting to stain in all the exposed areas. I've contacted Trident customer service to return it. Has anyone else had issues with other colors staining so easily? I haven't had this problem with my green aegis case for my gnex. I'm really disappointed.

From their site:
Length:8.00 in
Width:5.00 in
Height:0.63 in
Weight:0.32 lb
I'd say its too thick to be pocketed from my hands on experience. Also, the silicone is very grippy, so it would probably be hard to put in or take out of your pocket (it was difficult in a pair of fubu sweatpants). I'm gonna switch to Cruzerlite's Androidified A2 case. Not as much protection, but it better suits my needs.

In assume you meant pocket. I keep it in my leg pocket on my flight suit. It is much larger then a normal pocket on your jeans. However that would be funny to watch someone try to cram in in a pair of jeans. I guess it would not be much worse than a galaxy note II

Is there a thin bar over the volume rocker? I've had this case before on older phones and that piece had a tendency to break over time.

No thankfully...I have had cases with that before and it was always annoying and it would break. There is a cutout that starts from the volume down rocker and goes all the way past the sim card tray.

Good to now, thanks. I just ordered the SHINE version.

I have this case in the grey color. It's a touch smoother than I expected but still makes the phone easier to hold then having no case.
I also ordered the Casemate Barely There case and compared to that one, this Feather is just a bit thicker. However, the Feather case has a lip on the edges that lets you place the phone face down and the screen will not be touching the surface of the table or whatever. It's not listed as a feature. Ironically, the Casemate advertises that it has this lip and the case they sent me does not.
I think in a perfect world, I'd like to get the Casemate Barely There in this grey color. I'm not a big fan of the plain black case on such a pretty grey phone.

Got my SHINE today. It's not as thin as I'd like but it fits the design theme of the phone. It'll be my every day case for the time being.

Got the feather ultra in the mail yesterday. I love how it looks on the phone, but it's too slippery for me.

SHINE version still doing well for me, I don't find it as slippery as the naked phone. But how the heck do I get this thing off? I'm worried I'm going to damage the phone whenever I do. Any tips?
