Silicone cases?

How are the silicone cases suchs as these http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38.l1313&_nkw=xperia+silicone&_sacat=See-All-Categories
from Ebay?
I have never seen one in real life. Is the phone harder to operate with the case? Does it bulk up the phone too much?
I used to own a HTC tytnII (without a silicone case) which is slightly bulkier than the Xperia, and so if I could handle the HTC's slight bulk, then I would assume the Xperia w/ silicone case would be of similar size, no?

I wouldn't get a silicone case, they are very responsive to touch and uncomfortable.
I mean responsive as in they always get in the way, and you know how silicone is, it flexes and it bends.
They also feel uncomfortable for me.
This is about silicone cases for all phones and mp3 players.
I'd rather let me Xperia scratch than to be protected by that obstacle.

i would have agreed to u ..but the battery cover of my X1 got little scratches from coins in the pocket and now i am worried.
maybe leather covers?

those silicone cases do their job for a cheap price, I've used a few of them on a few makes of phones & they've been fine, but idd regards they feel a bit weird at 1st as in their like a condom but once u get used to them their ok I'd say.
Or you can indeed go buy a leather case & they vary from cheap .HK 1's to proporta etc... again I've had a few, even used expensive 1's.
I'm currently using a silicone case now & then with my diamond but mostly I have it in a leather flip style case, also got 2 leather pouch style cases...
My advice to any 1 who buys an expensive pda/ phone is to protect it 1 way or another with either a case or a pouch oh & always fit a screen protector also
Or don't care & get your pda scratched or chipped etc...

I had similiar one when I owned Touch Pro.
the fitment is ok (not the best) but I think the quality is at best average.

I just bought this one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Silicone-...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262
Since I like silicone cases better than regular leather or pouch ones.

Silicone Cases are Great
I've been using silicone cases for years. They do not bulk up the phone, and they give great protection. All the ports are available, and the buttons usable. And, they're inexpensive!

is the optical pad covered using the silicone case?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, they block the pad, at least the ones off of eBay do (I just recieved one)
There are some rubber cases that leave that area uncovered. You can find them on eBay as well. Although I don't now how the keyboard slide function works out with those.

the ones from hong kong off ebay are not very good, I have stopped using mine, so anyone thinking of buying one just avoid them.... I can post some pics if you want....

Clear Plastic Instead of Silicone
You might want to try a clear plastic case. I bought a couple from Ebay and like them better than the silicone ones. The ones I bought were about $3.25 each. Since they're clear, the allow the beauty of the phone show through. Plus, none of the buttons are covered.

Bumper case for our Legend, is there one?

If anyone finds a bumper case like the iphone is getting, please post it here the link, I would love one of those for my Legend.

otterbox.com .. i already have one from there

I don't even seen the Legend listed on OtterBox.com :S
Nevermind, it just wasn't in the front-page finder tool, but it can be found on the left menu, or by going here: http://www.otterbox.com/htc-cases/htc-legend-cases/htc-legend-commuter-series-case/

There are plenty on ebay and other sites, including Gel, Plastic & Silicon bumpers...
I like my Gel case, the plastic one was rubbish, I like the Silicon bumper I got for my Wildfire - might get one for my Legend.

I really want to find one that doesn't cover the front or the back, and only the sides. I've yet to find any like that

You want this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767724
having a silicon/gel cover that only does the sides imho is pointless as it will keep coming off...

I've seen them tight enough that they don't come off easily. They are fairly rigid and can protect the front and back when the phone is on a flat surface, but are mainly for protecting the sides/corners.
In my experiences I've only ever damaged the corners of my phones by dropping.
Cases normally ruin the way a phone looks to me but a bumper would be acceptable if I could find one

Otterbox 'Commuter' Holster?

I see that Otterbox has a hard plastic belt clip holster for the 'Defender' but they don't make one for the 'Commuter'. Do any of you know what clips/holsters will fit an HD2 wearing an Otterbox 'Commuter' case?

Hi, i think you can't find a hard plastic belt clip holster like the "Defender" , because when i bought mine, it was stipulated that' s only for "defender":
Go to the otterbox site, and when you compare the two covers, there're not same.
On mine, i've three parts, with a front cover and a rear cover, and here you can see anchors of the holster.
The third around two others.
"Commuter" and "defender" are two different covers.
Hope i help you

I understand there is no Otterbox 'commuter' holster. I am trying to find out if another brand will work with the commuter case.

I've understand you're request, i just tell you that don't exist, due to the fixation.

Otterbox customer service informs me differently. Maybe you can't find such a holster in France, but they obviously exist in the US.

Sorry I did not know, but I am curious to know how they hold the phone in the holster.it's probably not the same like "defender"

OP3 MAGNETIC flip case?!?!

Wouldn't have thought this is a huge ask but there seem to be absolutely no magnetic flip cases for the OP3... All I can find is stand cases with a magnetic clasp like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/OnePlus-Ca..._11?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=WY3145XGNFC60NVTV27F
What I want is a detachable magnetic flip case like this for the OP3 http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...-Magnetic-Flip-Wallet/201341_32678694110.html
Do you know of any? Or am I just gonna have to bite my tongue and resign myself to buying a horrific case? :crying:

I don't think it's as magnetic as that but orzly do a flip case

Did you have any luck in finding such a wallet case? Am also looking....

Closest magnetic case I found...

Such thing as a magnetic rugged case that also has camera slide door?

Hey guys,
I think I'm at the point of just investing into creating a new case style.
The case I have:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08NDZX22W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The case that provides a magnetic plate - so you can literally attach your phone to most metals:
https://www.amazon.com/Shields-Up-Detachable-Lightweight-Shockproof/dp/B08N6J8HWF/ref=pd_sbs_2/139-3480363-9367554?pd_rd_w=R9LCr&pf_rd_p=0a3ad226-8a77-4898-9a99-63ffeb1aef90&pf_rd_r=VC8T9561Z016FETGXA4V&pd_rd_r=5c4dc4a3-909b-43a4-af3e-b842bde4dd39&pd_rd_wg=kqCFE&pd_rd_i=B08N6J8HWF&psc=1
And a rugged case like Otterbox.
Do all three exist in one?

they have a company that makes something like that for outdoors people
