Here's my review of the Incipio EDGE Hard Case: (Originally written for 'Felimenta97'):
DESIGN:
In a nutshell, the Incipio EDGE hard case (Iridescent Gray is the color I purchased for my white LT26i) is beautiful even if you look at it from a mile away. Honestly, this is a beautiful looking case. The cuttings are so nicely designed and executed that the phone actually looks even more aesthetically pleasing than it's original (already mind-bobbingly pretty) build look. And although it may look plain from the screen shots, it actually looks professional and top-class when in hand and viewed in person. Sure, it does add a bit of bulk, but even if it tried, it still wouldn't (and doesn't) make the XS look any less soothing to look at.
The case is a 2 piece slider case, which means the transparent bar that is one of the XS's iconic features is entirely visible. This is something that even the Nilkin lacks with its half view of the transparent bar. When I get a call, the bar flashes its sexy blue color which the case uncensors perfectly. And to prevent the case from looking like a cheap back cover, it crawls on the front of the phone as well - adding protection and making sure anyone who looks at it immediately realizes that the XS is one mean phone when paired with this case.
BUILD QUALITY & PROTECTION:
Now that the design is out of the way, let's talk about the build quality of the case and if it has the ability to complete the job it was made for - protecting the phone in general.
When held in hand, you can tell straight away that the XS has one hell of a protective case wrapped around it - and that sure is what is present. The bulkiness may bug you if the extra slimness of the XS is a feature you die for, so be warned. Other than that, the feel of the case is nice and rigid. I especially enjoyed the fact that for a butter fingers like me, the slippery body of the XS is no longer there to haunt me when I have the EDGE wrapped around it. Incipio done a good job in making sure the case felt good in hand and removed any chances of it feeling slippery. And no, it does not hurt or feel uncomfortable at all.
The case has a great snug fit. As mentioned before, it's a two-piece slider. So, all you have to do is slide the phone in the top, larger piece upwards until you feel resistance from the top portion. Then, simply slide the bottom part on the phone until both pieces of the transparent bar intersect with each other until congruency is matched - very easy installation, though sort of difficult to take off but luckily, it doesn't require any wrestling unlike the Case Mate extra protective case.
The front wrapping on the phone enables the phone's lushes screen to save itself from grinding against the surface it's placed on when kept upside down. This is indeed a necessary feature for any case to have. I tested the shock protection capability of the case in general by dropping it from a few heights no higher than my waste - it survived without a scratch on marble floor. VERY satisfied in that field. Although I would still like the case to be like the lineup Incipio released for the Ion - the ones with silicon/soft gel interior and hard exterior. Such Otterbox mock offs remove any doubt one may have regarding security. Well, for me atleast.
LASTING APPEAL:
This case is great. I'm glad I didn't pick up anything else and researched thoroughly before I tried any of them. For now, I'm not thinking about getting another case until this one's cracked up and beated brutally - which may never happen.
VERDICT:
- PROS:
+ Superb build quality.
+ Nice, professional look.
+ Good, secure feel in hand.
+ Should protect the phone well.
+ Cutouts are perfect; no interference with pressing the buttons.
+ The 3 colors it's available in are all really nice.
- CONS:
- Slightly bulky; can make one dislike it if a slimness fanatic.
- Not as fancy as other cases looks wise.

Well I managed to unfortunately break my Xperia S in a rather sickening manner, thanks to a nano sim adaptor getting stuck in the sim card slot and breaking the sim contacts. I've moved on to a Nexus 4 now, but have a couple of nice Xperia S hard cases leftover to offload. If anybody's interested, give me a PM, price is $5 shipped each by Paypal, U.S. only. Except for the last crystal clear one on the right, I'll take $4 for that one, as there's some inevitable minor surface scratches on it that were actually on it when I got it. I used all these cases with a leather holster so for the most part, they all look practically like new.
Just some notes on the cases, the first two on the left have matte finishes (clear and smoke), are incredibly tough, and nearly impossible to scratch or break. They have a transparent window strip all around for the light bar, and the case themselves are probably the most thin I've tried on the Xperia S, as you can see in one of the pics, the side buttons are practically flush with the case.
The Tourmate case is SOLD
The crystal clear case is your typical clear hard case, I swapped it in when I really wanted to see the light bar in all its unblocked glory.

The screen is the most vunerable part of the phone.I don't get the logic of protecting the solid cover of the phone with aluminum while leaving the sreen unprotected.
Exactly. But yet again, it's difficult denying the fact that the cases really do look aesthetically pleasing enough for one to call it a no-brainer.
Putting a cover on sure kills the beauty - no matter how pretty the cover may be. But then again, can't risk ruining that perfect body (no pun intended), can we now?

How about design cases?
http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=XPERIA+S+design&_pgn=2&_skc=50&rt=nc
Are any of the designer cases worth buying or does the print wear off sooner than the novelty?

Old post...but I bought that case and it's amazing.
My XS dropped down and nothing happened.
Cool case...it's hard plastic not rubber.

Just bought an Xperia S, and liking it very much.
I have it in a rubbish ''leather'' flip case at the moment. really struggling to find anything good to buy.
Can't find a UK seller of the incipio cases, or the spigen
What's currently available and good? Looking at a hard shell with decent screen protector film.
Hard to find anything worth buying

Hm. Don't like the look of those much. Well, I like the /look/ of some of them, but I don't think they're good protection for my phone.
Wish this incipio case would hurry up though
I don' really need protection with XS, I just want to know how many time i can use such a thing( I mean quality, I didn't saw any real photo of these)..
does anybody of you guys tried the capdase for XS? how about the spigen? which is better?
btw here is capdase http://www. capdase. com/en /product5.php?cid=1&bid=163&mid=2189&pid=28910
and one more thing, what can you recommend me to buy as a case for XS? preferably thin because i have short hands and i dont want it to became bulky

I've got the Case-Mate Tough, which is a great case, adds quite a bit of bulk to it, but I really do feel safe knowing that my phone should be safe should it fall. I sometimes forget quite how small the S is when I take it out the shell to clean it.
However there is a pretty poor design choice when making the outer shell and after a couple of months I've had this happen.
