Plastic case, pouch, screen protector?

---

My box of Xperia Play didn't include a pouch so I must buy something to protect the phone.

I saw a cool plastic case: http://www.accessorygeeks.com/oem-tr...py-bk-blk.html and I thought it's good for me, but after a while I realised it turns the phone into a brick, something I don't really want to.

So then another option is to get a pouch, searched and found a few, but pretty expensive ($35 - $60). I just want something good, good looking and for a price of maximum $15.

Optional: An invisible screen protector which theoretical protects the screen for scratches.

I need some help here. What should I buy?

I don't know if you know this but, the Xperia Play comes with a preinstalled invisible screen protector. So you're half covered already.

I can't recommend you a case/pouch since I don't have one but I don't even want to know how bulky it'd be with one when it's on my pocket.

I got the official sony ericsson executive hardcase and i love it - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Ericsso.../dp/B004S5CP0Q

I don't really like the snap on case because I hate adding bulk to an already bulky phone and also I have the DK300 dock and it would require me to constantly take off the other cases.

I also bought the official pouch that came with the European models from here - http://www.netimes.com/shop/sony-eri...l?cPath=70_808

Off-topic but how trustworthy is that site? I see they have a lot of accessories and ship worldwide, so far I've only used DealExtreme but they don't have many phone-specific stuff (except for the iphone).

Fast and efficient and supply tracked shipping.

I was amazed they had tracked shipping with signature approval for something that was just an envelope.

Check this out: (google foofshop)

I bought my macbook sleeve/pouch from there a few years ago and it was awesome for keeping scratches off etc. Then When I got my play I measured up the iphone sizes for their iphone cases and on a whim just bought one to see if my would fit in it. was a bit tight at first but after a while it now fits as snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug! and it looks cool aswell, hardly adds any bulk and even if it does at least when I pull it out I don't look like I have a brick for a phone but just an awsome pouch/sleeve thing and i pop my phone out of. defo recomend.

So to make sure you guys are aware, if you're up for it, buy the iphone sized one, thats the one I got. They are designed to fit iphones but plays fit fine ;oP lol. They're Australian based but post all around the world, i got mine within a week in the UK.

I got the second one with my phone. I generally hate phone cases but this is nice since it's not making a brick out of phone and it's not taking away it's style. On the left is a cut-out so the headphones plug isn't covered, and it makes easier to take out the phone.

Pouch on first link is a bit ugly.

bought a cheapy gel case of Amazon and noticed there is not openings for the stereo speakers , I just looked at the case in post 1 and it has not speaker openings as well

This item, on ebay, has the speaker ports open, and is slimmer, and better than the Gel one I tried:
Search for that item number: 190527208284

I've got one of these, and it's well worth a few quid more.
