trident case recommendation - Xperia Play Accessories

With most of the phones going slimmer, the availability of cases to house an xperia play in a trident case is limited.
Anyone suggest a case for the play in the trident? I've been using a MOBO brand and it's served well but it's getting beat up.

I can't comprehend what you're trying to say. A case for the Xperia PLAY in Trident? Isn't Trident already a case?

sorry to be unclear. a carrying case is what I'm looking for.

I've had the aegis case from trident for about 2 years now. Both the case and my phone are still in "like new" condition thanks to it so I can highly recommend getting it. I don't even use a screen protector, and my screen is still pristine.
Here's the case I have

Ya the touchpads slide out just fine. I've read that the otterbox has a latch that sort of lifts and rubs on the gamepad when sliding it, which this case doesnt.

Its a bit thicker, but easier to grip from the ribs on the side.
Also the volume buttons are easier to press with the case on because of how much more they protrude.
And about the price, I think it's worth it for the protection. I've dropped it in situations where it would have smashed if the case wasn't on, saving me from buying a new phone

BEST!!! Samsung Galaxy Tab Leather Book Cover Carrying Case (EF-C980NBEGSTA)

I bought this case September 2011 and have to say this is one of the best cases so far. I have dropped my tab a few times and no damage. only a tiny ding on the case and its still looks like new.

I definitely agree with this. I received this exact cover for my tab for free with my purchase in June 2011 and it AND my tab both look as good as the day I bought it!
I'm considering buying this case, but does it clip closed at all or does it just sort of hang freely? I tend to keep my tablet in my backpack and would hate for the flap to open up while its in there.

Q: what forum is this again?
A: P-1000 forum
I have been using the same for a year now, and it's worth it. Fell out a few times but thankfully no damage.
I got this one recently. It's fantastic! The great thing about using an old device is that the accessories are now dirt cheap. I got the OEM keyboard dock, new in box, for about $20 on eBay a few weeks back.

Great case i'm very happy with it
For my opinion, I don't suggest you to buy it.
After I had newly bought for few months, the leather cover (I mean the flippable cover) and its inner material separated almost into two pieces.
I can say that the inner material and the leather cover are stuck together by a layer of glue and can be easily removed if a little bit water soak the cover for a little while.
However, this case can resist impact force quite well as if the tab is under free fall motion with height over 0.5m. The case can really protect the tab.
This is the only thing that worth to be praised I think.

Juppa case

This one seems to offer good protection, a hard shell inside a book style casing. No mention of a magnet.

"5.0 out of 5 stars Fits well and good value 28 Dec 2012

Arrived early an looked very nice. Applied screen proector (always difficult on big Screens) one of the better protectors I have used, Fitted Nexus very well and all charging an buttons accesible. Turns device on an off as you open and close. Very happy with for £5 I paid"
Bit annoying that he only paid £5 for it when they're now £12 but even at that it's not a bad price.
It just seems like another of a million already available cases. All these dealextreme/ebay cases all look the same to me, and a case is a case, they're all plastic, and they will prevent scratching the screen, that's about it.
I've fallen for this one

Does this mean you already have that case? If so, what do you think of the pleather quality wise?

I posted the original link because I saw a case that took two properties of common cases that are not found together anywhere else, the book style cover enclosing the hard plastic shell. It's too bulky for my use but that doesn't mean it's not going to appeal to someone else, it deserved a link for that reason.

Speck Candyshell is Out

For those of you who are interested, the CandyShell is out for the Note 2 via Speck Products. Had I not just bought the "iPhone" case I'd probably be all over this. Case is $39.99

Pretty expensive considering you'll scratch it up in a few minutes, it has little grip, and offers little protection.

Co worker got one, thing is freaking bulky. Also a fingerprint and lint magnet.
Had one of these for my iPhone prior to getting the Note 2.
I loves the quality of it and it definitely saved my iPhone from a few drops. Took the case off for the first time since I'd put it on around 18 months prior to sell the phone and (yeah was a bit grubby and dirty) there wasn't a mark on the phone, not one hairline scratch.
Very tempted to get this one for the Note - however as previously said, they are bulky - something you don't really want on an already big phone.
Think I'll need to compare with the official Samsung case.
I have this case and I really like it. For me its the best compromise between protection and slim design. I used the official samsung protective case, but I didn't like how the edges are soft TPU. I dropped my old Galaxy S1 and shattered the glass because it hit the edge first. The TPU case it had didn't provide enough edge protection. I looked at other hard cases (like the Otterbox commuter) but they're bulkier. The price is high and there is no grip, but I'm sticking with it for now.

Jeans pocket / sleeve for G4

Here's a bit of a left-field suggestion among all the rubber backs and bumper cases: why not get a sleeve case instead?

I found this seller on etsy a while ago. They make pouches for any number of devices using jeans fabric on the outside and coloured cotton on the inside. What I like about them: they are very minimalist and low-key. Perfect for protecting your G4 while traveling or when you want to toss it into a bag but you're worried it might get pushed around or scratched by sharp objects such as your house keys.
In my opinion a perfect solution for those looking to protect the phone when it's not in use but who don't want to mess up the design by putting a rubber or bumper case around it. Of course, it won't help you if it slips out of your hand and hits the concrete while you're using it.. those are the trade-offs.
I have a similar pouch for my Nexus 7 (2nd gen) and it's been serving me well for almost 2 years now. Highly recommended.
I ordered one for my G4 yesterday (the phone arrived two days ago). I'll post an update once I receive the sleeve case.

It's pretty simple actually...
1) a sleeve doesn't protect against drops
2) you can't use your phone without taking it out of the sleeve.

I made similar points in my initial post —
It won't be of much use to you if you feel you need protection at all times.
I intend to keep it in the sleeve when not in use and while traveling. I'm going to see if that works for me as well as I hope it does — it's been a great combination with the Nexus 7.

See the pictures I posted above - it's like a jeans pocket that you slide the phone into. Mine has an extra pocket in the front that can carry a credit card or something similar. Just slide your phone in and it's protected from falls or during travel.
I prefer to use my phone 'naked' and I use instant messaging much more than actual phone calls, so this arrangement works very well for me. Hope this helps.

Are you using a case?

I'm wondering if I should use a case on this phone. It has a plastic back so I'm thinking it will survive a drop better than a GS6 and I have a Square Trade warranty. What are you using?

Dbrand. Easy to apply and high quality.

Mine is a little flexy, creaky, and lightweight by itself.
I put it in the Hybrid Supcase with the frost PC which gives it a little mass and rigidity, which helps with the feel.

Totally agree... I got just a cheap thin one. It added just enough to make the phone feel "right".

No case, I use a Slickwraps skin (black leather) and a vertical belt pouch from PDAir.
Yup. Plan on selling it next year with the money going towards the next Nexus phone. So better resale value if in great condition.

The plastic on the N5X will dent a lot easier than the GS6! No harm in getting a case
Yup! Don't want the back to wear out.
Must def better safe then sorry
I always use a case....
I don't want extra bulk but I am afrarid of dropping,maybe have a light case is prettty,still seeking.

Nope, Nexus Protect has me covered. Plus it helps for resale when I can sell a sealed in-box item.
