hey guys, i have the arc and cant upgrade for a while and am jsut wondering is it worth buy the S?? other thing is, if you drop the phone what that chances of the transparent bar breaking or snapping off, thinking the body of the phone is 3 seperate parts??
Lol, no idea, but I'm not sure whether there'll be many people who'll want to try! We've been told that the bottom is securely integrated with the rest of the phone so you should be fine (even better if you have a case).
i have never seen a case i liked, i did have one for the x10 but that was jsut for the back., but if you see a good one please let me know am sure i will drop test it after a few shandys
I used this one for my X10 & arc and it worked perfectly. I have yet to find one for my S but I am considering Piel Frama X10 & arc -http://samsungvibrantvsiphone4.blogspot.com/2012/01/speck-holster-pro-belt-clip-for-iphone.html S - http://www.pielframa.com/sony-xperia-s-cases-imagnum.htm
The Piel Frama looks nice but adds a lot of bulk. We've got one of these hard Nillkin cases on the way so we'll review that when we get hands-on.
unfortunately i dropped my new white xperia s in a concrete road ... actually it hit the ground with the bottom end and the anti-stain coating in that area came out and the plastic got got a small scratch :-p . . . all others are perfect ... it actually fell off from a height like 80-90 cm .. the build is actually pretty good .. wonder what would hv happened if a iphone fell from that height :-p !!
Can you please make some better pictures of that scratch (i.e. makro mode or something). I will probably buy this phone in around 2-3 days but drop resistance may be crucial before making my final decision
don't worry friend same thing happen to me. Morning i bought my phone Xperia S but on the same day @ night it slipped from hand, thank God nothing happen only the bottom cap was damaged 100% same as your's. I Found a replacement cap on german ebay. http://www.ebay.de/itm/Sony-Xperia-S-LT26-Cover-Bottom-Weiss-Original-/261015676869?pt=DE_Handy_PDA_Oberschalen_Designfol%20ien&hash=item3cc5bf27c5#ht_1773wt_1153 Here i found the compleate disassembly guide PDF please go through this.http://www.google.lk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=10&ved=0CGQQFjAJ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sonymania.cz%2Fdownload.php%3Fsoubor%3D11&ei=C3LsT_j5ENDtrQeQu7i1BQ&usg=AFQjCNFKaFoZbRTxpc-DIh0CkFmDc-WGEA&sig2=gGc6TPAOiiffeZ7I6n967g
I agree, bought it for 12 € in ebay. Review: rigid enough to be protective, very slim, fits perfectly, smooth carbon tact and looks great. +10
I've dropped my XPS, while holding the phone with shoulders (meantime I'm trying to get into the bus). fell into the Carpet Road, suuuuuh, ended up in small scratch in back cover , I think SONY glasses are shatter proof !! I have a long history of S(E) phones
