Default Titanium bumper for Xperia arc (looks sleek and no drop worries)

this japanese site has the best quality accessories for Xperia in general
i have recently ordered this bumper for my Arc and i am pleased with it. looks sleek,sexy,unique and i have gotten great compliments when people saw it. also it has a high quality feel to its hold. it comes in 6 colors
the price is high but try working your charm with the sellers.

note 1) i have no bonds with the sellers so dont ask me for help
note 2) if you order , go easy on the screws and no need for muscles or else you will mess up the screws and have to customize your own or order them from the ebay seller for 10 dollars
this bumper keeps the back and front revealed and maintains the curve of the arc.

whether you think its nice or ugly, believe me you would rather put this on the phone than seeing scratches and chips on your phone.

im only giving my opinion and everyone has their own
here are some pics for my order

Looks ridiculous imo and not sure it can be classed as sleek given how much extra it adds to the phone.

i respect your opinion but,
some people drop their phones many times during the day; in a few weeks the phone will look ridiculous with all the scratches and maybe even cracks which will make a person hate their phone and cant afford to change.
so this would be sleek in a way for the protection you get.

it does add a little more weight and a little width only on the edgesbut still i get a decent grip on it.

the otter box is not that attractive(people just got used to seeing them) and it adds so much weight and bulkyness to phones, yet most iphone users use them for protection.

Have to agree, looks a bit over the top and hides the sleek look of the phone

Could be a bit like Marmite this one, but I'll be sticking with my leather case for now
