To be honest, with this phone it will be useful to get a battery especially if you are planning a long journey or trip.

I am currently using puch from G1 -- it's a bit loose, but better than nothing.
Hoping I can find N1 pouch some time soon(ish).

as a temp measure a 4.3 inch hd2 screen protector should cut down nicely

are there no official ones yet?

Possible stupid question
Does using a screen protector degrade the touch screen performance?
I used to have a T-Mobile Vario II and never used a protector and got away with it. The phone went in my pocket and did clash with keys and things occasionally, no detectable damage though.
Do screen protector users let their children out to play? Or are they correct to take care?

Not at all i notice no difference using a screen protector.

i like the look of this one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LEATHER-Holst...ccessories?hash=item255995c546#ht_2078wt_1161

I have just ordered this one -- for that price + free delivery it can't go wrong
However, I hope I can get my hands on Nexus One pouch some day.

Great, I can't order the official ones from play.com because they only deliver this product in the UK. Really, I mean, reallyyyyyy?

Just bought it for £9.95 just need my desire now

Screen protector from Amazon UK (not tried it myself):
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vikuiti-DQC-160-screen-protector-Desire/dp/B003CAQAAY/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1269823681&sr=8-1-fkmr0

I've ordered the Vikuiti ones and they are not good. From what I can see the cut-out is just a simple rectangle, it will not cover the full glass area of the phone but probably only the part that is actually displaying something. I find that utterly useless.
Now I've ordered the ones from BoxWave where they show how they did the cut-out on their website. That's the way it should be done...

There are a few on eBay claiming to be for the Desire but you can clearly see they dont match all the openings, eg, the flash.

Got this one - didn't really like it. Found it too stiff/hard.
If anyone wants to give it a go, I'll mail it for free within EU.
Whoever PMs me first with their address, gets it
EDIT: case was given-away to er_yeah.

i have just got a mofi case for £4.95 it seems fairly universal size but it is lined with micro fiber so it cleans your phone when you put it in.

Surely, you can get the nexus one silicon case (the ones that dont have the bottom covered where the desire buttons would be). They are practically the same size, give or take fractions of a mm here or there.

Anyone found a good silicone cover/skin yet?

[Q] Original Htc Case for Desire S

Hi, i'm thinking on buy this Htc Original Case for my Desire S, but i can find only this image on all kind on web-sites i searched, no one video or a photo with this case on the smartphone.
Can somebody help me posting some different photoes of this, maybe a video? Thanks a lot!

i looked around the internet and saw this case on mobile fun:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/official-htc-desire-s-tp-c580-tpu-skin-p29231.htm
It says it's the official htc case and has 2 good reviews. Doesn't seem to look like the case in your picture though.
I didn't even know htc made cases though! I thought they only made pouches.

is the same site where i found the case i ask for, is under productors htc, i can't post external link yet, but is on sale on the same web-site you linked, but there is only the picture i posted, i can't find out how is when applied on the DS and of what materials is made (appear to be in cloth over the first strate of plastic, or polycarbonate idk)
then again, no one have bought this case for a little review?
p.s. there is also on htc shop

i checked again on htc shop, the exact code is HC C580 and the description say:
This hard shell case is designed with counter moulded front and rear casings to give the maximum protection for your Desire S.
The middle part of the case is made from a PU plastic based material.

so maybe is made of something like cloth, but i can't still figure out how it cover the DS.
Still waiting for a Review ^^

This is brand new...to b released in a week hence no reviews yet. I have the htc tpu original case, which is pretty gd. Best ive found tho is the propora mizu shell.

h t t p : / / w w w .android-hilfe.de/showthread.php?p=2218179

thanks! i bought one of these 2 days ago :\ now i'm thinking to refuse or not it. With thse photoes don't look as good quality as on htc website... is really simply plastic, maybe a case mate can be better... i'll let you know in these next days.

As there not being many branded options available in India, I have ordered almost all kinds available on eBay India, including a few screen protectors.
Fake capdase is all over the market but pathetic quality.
Don't really like the silicone kinds, they attract too much dust and if it's a black one, God help you keeping the dust and fibres off!!!
The mesh ones without protection for the top and bottom corners is useless.
Then came the Amzer soft rubberized plastic case, have been using since 3 months and has served well during the 2 accidental drops. Full all around protection.
Have a matte finish screen protector on as of now, helps cut the glare down and improve visibility in daylight but the screen looks very dull if brightness is turned down. Good thing is it does not smear & stain with fingerprints and is actually scratch proof.
Tried the most expensive indian branded scratchgard screen protector but was crap, too much glare and scratched all over within the first couple of days.
Pics attached.

Anti shatter proof layer replacement.

I hate screen protectors. They look ugly & wash out screens.
I've never installed one on any device.
My Xperia Play had an anti shatter proof layer (ASPL) installed out of the box which was also too washy & got removed.
However.
I'm ok with the ASPL on the Z. I was going to remove it if it washed out the screen but it's quite livable with.
Only problem is, the layer itself is a scratch magnet.
I've never scratched up any of my naked screens too bad my the ASPL on my Z has received a couple of minor scratches after only a couple of days.
A Google search hasn't shown up any replacement ASPL's for the Z.
Do you think SONY will release them for after sales?

I too hate screencovers but i bought my XZ outright so its too expensive to get damaged. I even tried to put the screencover that comes in the box on top of the anti shatter film but that was a disaster with about 50 air bubbles which looked awful. Don't really know what to do next because like you i have heard the anti shatter film marks easily. I have no scratches yet but mine seems to have loads of static and is attracting dust and fluff really badly.

I think these are standard screen covers which are supposed to go on top of the anti shatter film to protect the film from scratching.

I'm 99% sure this is correct.
The ASPL factory fitted on the Z will be MUCH thinner than the screen protectors in the box.

I got some spare ultra clarity screen protectors off eBay which were super easy to apply. Absolutely no bubbles, feel good now they've settled and don't appear to have hampered display quality.

both the arc and x10 came with screen covers (ASPL's) in situ and spares in the box, I'd just presumed the ones in the XZ box were spare ASPL's?
after all isn't an ASPL just a screen protector? - any well adhered film/screen protector would help stop the screen from shattering
i'm currently looking for an aftermarket anti-fingerprintscreen protector like SGP's ultra oleophobic which I had on my Galaxy s3, it was really good at resisting smudges - the ASPL is a smudge magnet!

You should wait for Rhino Shield to be available for the XPeria Z.
Maybe ask them when/if they plan to make a compatible one.

Has anyone removed the ASPL & can report on the actual screens durability?
The amount of scratches I'm getting on the ASPL is breaking me!

No one has yet to report that the screen scratched after the removed the Shatterproof protection. I removed mine but I was too scared to even attempt to scratch it, but you should be 99% ok.(Unless sand comes on it)

I also also love to know the answer to this, as it's been eating me alive for the past few weeks.

I make my phone like a onion firstly apply films supplied in the box and the hard cover at the back :victory:
Sony screen protector supplied in the box is ok it cover screen good enough :victory:

According to some dutch users, yes, the logo is on the protector.

Yes the logo is gone.

Hold on,
So there's an extra layer on the screen?
I installed the screen protector that came with the phone which is pretty good.
People are reporting that removing the anti shatter layer brings off the Sony logo? I would argue it's not supposed to be rremoved. If that's true ....
Am I missing something here

Yes there is an extra layer on the phone, when you remove it, the front Sony logo will be gone.
I removed mine because my phone didn't came with extra screen protectors, else I would have installed them over the antishatter sheet, just the way Sony recommends.

Well this is news to me, I think I'll leave my anti shatter layer on for a bit.
I think I'll need some more screen protectors soon, preferably ones that resist finger prints if anyone can recommend any good brands and UK retailer

A good case for Xperia L?

Hi all.
Can someone advise me a case for this smartphone?
(A case that you have tested would be perfect)
I ask this because looking on ebay there are several case, but some of these from the photos do not appear specific to the Xperia L, and given that this smartphone is slightly concave on the back I would not buy a wrong case.

Hey guys...I am thinking to buy a case.so far my phone didn't got any scratch because the back cover is really good material.However,I never droped it so even if it's pretty like this,I don't want to risk.So found 3 cases that i like:
Case Nr.1
Case Nr.2
Case Nr.3
I m not sure which one to choose.I'm interested that they don't tend to stick to my pocket when i try to get the phone like silicon cases do and to be as thin as possible.I would prefer Nr.3 but I'm not sure because in the product description it says that package box contain only screen guard.....Do you think they fit my needs?Any other suggestions?Preferably any other link for Nr.3 option that contains the whole set.Thanks!

I personally like the second one most of your three.
But myself, I would love to have a "case" like samsung usually produces for their devices, which is just a replacement for backcover and adds a screen saver to 'clip" over screen.... if you know what i mean

I have a fairly expensive Krusell case. It's a bit bulky, but the grip is excellent and it solves the problem with the protruding power button.

what about incipio dualpro case
nb : sorry if my english so bad

Another vote for ebay nillkin stuff... fairly cheap - around 8$ ... I'll post some pictures /when xda lets me post links/ GRRRR!

Simplism screen protector

Just got one of these tonight and put it on my Z removing the cheap xtremeguard I put on there. I got their Bubble-less Double Film Set. Easy to install and crystal clear. No rubbery feel like Zagg or xtremeguard. It still gets some finger prints but the feel of it is what I was after. Smooth like factory. Covered up the slight scratches in the anti-shatter film I had from regular use too.
You can find it at www.trinity.jp according to the packaging.

So what made you go for this, instead of the nifty glass protectors everyone's been yapping about? (I'm asking because I'm considering getting one of said glass covers, but wonder if the expense is worth it.)
Also, what kind of case, if any, did you get?

Don't use a case. Actually got it from my friend who works at Sony. Used it to replace the crappy xtreme guard I was using. I've never used the glass ones so I can't comment in them. They seem expensive though if you do happen to scratch it and want to replace it. I'm the kind of person that will replace my screen protectors if I scratch them even slightly so I don't get the expensive ones usually.

Whuuuuuut? No case?
Actually, I read a few comments from people who've dropped their Zs and were amazed at the beating it took. So yeah, as I struggle to find something that still displays the Z's beauty, I keep thinking, "...Maybe I don't need one."

But on the other hand, there were some "incidents" where people's screens broke wile it was barely touched.

I just couldn't out a case on this thing. Would totally take away from the look. I've used other cases on my past devices but the Z I just can't bring myself to do it.
