So what's everyone doing for a case?

Always been one of the downsides of not buying an iPhone or a Samsung has been the scarcity of case options - as opposed to the aforementioned where you fall over cases in every shop you walk into.

So what have you guys found and what are you going with?

I use a clear rubber/plastic case from amazon. Let's the purpleness out 😁

Have always used the same sort for protecting my phones.

I've ordered the Sony style touch case,I do the same with every XPERIA, just **bleep** they only release them after the handset forcing everyone to spend some time without one knowing there are people who will end up damaging their brand new £850 the first week.

Is it any good? I'm tempted to get this, but someone else on here has had trouble using a Sony Style touch case with an older phone

FYI, I've gone for a cheapy transparent back cover for now and have this one:

on order. I wanted a book-style case, but one which was (a) thin and (b) no magnets. I'm never sure whether magnets will mess up aspects of my phone (like the compass for example) but my Pixel has had Google maps never pointing in the right direction again after using a case with magnets in it.

I have got myself Sony Smart Case with touch screen. Same colour with the device but looks very sturdy and covers well.

Sony Style Cover Touch SCTI30 works like a charm.

for the ones looking for a cheaper alternative I saw a Roxfit made for xperia clear case for £15 in carphone warehouse but it doesn't have a cover it is only back protection.

My previous case for xz premium was roxfit it was good but I also used a screen protector with it. I didn't see any screen protectors for Xperia 1 yet.

Did they fix the Style Cover with the Xperia 1?

I had it with the XZ3 and it was a nightmare. Absolutely useless...

Now I got Sleo cases on Amazon and they're great. I got three in different colours and Sleo screen protectors. There was a few £ discount on Amazon if you buy more than one, so I really didn't spend a lot. The screen protectors are great, on the XZ3 they were really hard to find because of the curved screen

Just fitted the Style cover and it seems like a good case. Also bought a shocksock on amazon for added drop protection.

The phone on its own I found to be very slippery in your hands. I would advise any case is better than no case.

Yes I'm also happy with my style touch case,as I have been with all my previous Xperia. I did worry it would affect the sidesense on this phone,but if anything it makes it slightly easier to use.
