Sorry, but I can't seem to find a nice, easy to find list of what screen protectors are good for the xperia. I don't trust a lot of them since I cannot be sure if they were designed for the xperia.
Can anybody who has a good one please show a pic, link, and a quick review?
I ordered mine here:

I just got my screen protectors delivered from iBestMart on eBay. They offer both a crystal clear and mirror finish. I got both but ended up using the crystal clear. The mirror version seemed to have a 'psychedelic' effect on the screen colours.
I must say that they went on clean and smoothly, and the cut/dimensions are PERFECT!
Highly recommended, and also very cheap.

Just got my 10pack from him as well and put one on. Pretty much perfect dimensions, quality is good. Would definitely recommend it. Looks like there's no screen protector on at all.

nice to hear, so the dimensions will fit pretty much the whole screen I guess? Because I bought the brando 1s, while the quality is good, the dimensions was a bit short, meaning there is about a 2mm gap on the vertical side.
Might consider getting these.
Just ordered a 2 pack. Very cheap indeed

There is about 1 mm distance from the bottom or less if u looking at it vertically.
I bought these, and found that the touch screen doesn't detect touch through them.

I assume that the ones you guys are recommended don't suffer from what I experienced?
I always used Brando Ultra Clear.
Never had touch problems.
ordered, thanks!

I bought the PDA screen protector on january. It fits and looks good but its a all scratched now. Also finger prints stay easily on it.
you might wanna check zagg..i use the invisible shield and it does a fine job..dey have the one for just the screen, i use the one for the whole phone cause i found it saves me the stress of using a case or pouch for my phone
Guys hey,
I’m looking to get a nice leather case to compliment me and my awesome HD2 (T-Mobile USA).
I like this one: pielframa.com/htc-touch-hd-2-red-case
but I’m not sure if tit will fit perfectly my phone as US version of HD2 is slightly taller. Any one got it for your wife/gf?
Please suggest other cases for US version.
Thanks, xo
Just get the Zagg Invisi shield and then you dont need a case
I have a Max Protection Zagg installed on my phones, but I still don't like putting my phone in my pockets so I have been trying some different pouches and have surprisingly found many iPhone cases that works really nice with the HD2.

I can't really say if they're more feminine or not, but here's the only other 3 styles I've seen for HD2 leather cases. The last one doesn't specifically say it'll work with the Tmo HD2, but I think there's a good chance based on its flexibility.
Type 5
Type 6 (several various styles actually)
Type 7
Very Nice and Quality Built Case

Blonde_Sometimes,
I have the Noreve Leather Case for my HTC HD2 USA T-Mobile version. One of very few cases that completely protect your precious device including the camera. Personally, I think the Noreve Case is very classy. Something a woman would be proud to brandish from her handbag / purse.
The case I got was the HTC Touch HD2 Tradition leather case
The Color I got was Illumination Selection Black Onyx. More Information On The Illunination Selection
Most of the time I just keep it in my slacks pocket or jacket pocket without the belt clip attached. On some occasions, when wearing jeans or shorts and just a t-shirt that does not have a pocket, I use the belt clip. I will not put my HD2 in jeans pocket.
If you plan on using a belt clip, I highly suggest you get the Belt clip 360 degree rotation - Metal
Here is some photos of my case. Click on the photograph to see a slideshow.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Thank you,
Monnie

Thank you Sirphunkee,
Noreve has different styles of textures / finishes. Check it out if the Illumination Selection is too shiney for you. The Illumination Selection is varnished leather, similar to Patent Leather.
Also, I forgot to mention, on the flap, there is a cutout for the hardware buttons.
I liked it so much, I got two. One for work, and one I keep for going out on the town.
When going out, I put my Drivers' License, Concealed Weapons License,and my Credit Card in the slot. No need to take a wallet.
Thank you,

Monnie - your case is really beautiful! But the colors too pale for my taste.
Sirphunkee, sincere thanks for all links. I ended up contacting Piel Frama derectly and they will make custom made case for me which will fit T-mobil version “like a glove”
Thanks boys, XOXO

The Noreve case has LOTs of colors and 4 different styles of leather to choose from. Probably 30 or so choices total. I agree with Monnie about noreve being the way to go... I got one of those for my HD2 custom made for me. Best case I've ever owned. Already dropped my HD2 on driveway and case protected it perfectly. Check out the noreve website... there are lots of color options.
I got the Dark Vintage from the Exceptional Selection... The leather feels like suede... it's beautiful. And I also recommend the metal belt clip if you're gonna be using it clipped on to something.
If you still go with piel frama, I definitely recommend the magnum case... otherwise you will have problems with the proximity sensor being covered by the leather. I've also heard it makes it harder to touch the sides of the screen accurately because of the leather. The magnum case holds the phone the same way the noreve case does, so you don't have leather covering sensors and around the screen & buttons. The main reason I picked the noreve over the magnum case was the bigger variety of leathers and colors the noreve has and the fact that the magnum uses magnets which interferes with the compass. Also, I wasn't sure if the magnum would fit the US HD2 well, as it was made for the euro version. The Noreve case was also made for the euro version, but it still fits the US version great.

Looks Good, but its not for me
Great!!!.., even better than the iphone in white ^^
MY GOOSH THAT LOOKS SEXY!!! LOL my gf would flip if she heard me referring to a phone like that haha
Very tidy mate makes it stand out from the rest. What did you use to prime it and what type of paint?
Dude that looks pretty sick!! what materials did you use?
Wow. Either you're really good at taping off or you're very patient with taking apart the phone!
http://pocketnow.com/hardware-1/official-htc-hd2-disassembly-assembly-training-videos-leaked
That's a tear down video for the HD2. I just don't know if I have that kind of patience
Yeah it took very long to disassemble the phone because i was very scared to crack the screen.
Then i sanded the whole case, applied spray paint primer and then white paint. It took the whole day because i applied 4 layers of paint.
But you are right, its a bit to white, so i'll apply some black graphics so.
And thanks for your comments.

Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Did you disassemble the whole back of the phone (removing the audio module and camera etc) or did you only paint the outside?
wow. it looks incredibly good!
Paint the design you want ASAP! the battery cover looks too white haha
some more eye candy
I saw before one brother here posted his HTC Leo, he applied a car vinyl sticker on his battery cover with carbon fiber design. It was quite impressive also.
..
some experiments with paint.net
i´m sure one of you can do that much better. because i´m an absolute n00b in graphics
ohh, carbon fiber is a very good idea, it could look pretty good with the whit case

Have you (or anyone else) tried using vinyl dye instead of spray paint?
Lets discuss on the casings for Nexus⁴ attactive(Cool Design) ones and protective(Flip Cases) ones! Please do provide names or links or pictures for it
Nexus⁴ is indeed a hot device, its worth my waiting like a drug addict everyday bugging my gmail for the shipping notification.
there r few cases about the glass at the back experiencing minor cracks,
so i think its better to protect it even though it looks gorgeous without casing and so hard to get a new one
i already had this Nillkin Flip Case at Tmall on standby, bought it from china's "amazon", tmall.com, their original factory's online store
Then i saw Cruzerlite's Androidified A2 TPU Case For Nexus⁴(Teal) attracted by its Android design,
while scrolling around i saw another nice oneXdadevelopers's CASE for Nexus⁴, also by Cruzerlite.
Both are looking cool, but before i buy them i wanna know if there are other casings with Cool Designs out there? Since i chose Cruzerlite because of its designs. I want my phone to look nice even with cases on.
I also need Flip Cases (Book Style)(prefer leather ones, because Nillkin's surface didnt convice me and it gets dirty easily those who had Nillkin flip case will know about this) and as what you all know, Flip Cases for Nexus 4 is extremely hard to find
what i want is 1 Cool Looking, and 1 Flip Case(Book Style) , both are hard to find,
other casings like diztronics' simple design or other cases that i found in this forum board even though they may give protection to device but their design didnt appeal to me(not to insult)
thats why i wanna find out if there are better ones, those who knows of Cool Looking, and Flip Case please do tell me about it, simple user review if possible :highfive:
I too have the xda case on order even though I have a set up I am currently satisfied with. I have now, the Diztronic Ultra hard thin that doesn't cover the top or bottom of the phone like the Diztronic TPU does. It works for me because I can now use the Seidio Surface spring holster made for the GNEX without much of an issue. The thiness of the shell works for me but not for all, so you'll need to decide what you are comfortable with.
According to your list, you are looking at tpu all the way. For the choices listed, which I have most of them except for the Cruzerlite models, I would go for the Diztronic tpu. It's pretty darn thin and the only negative is that the logo on the tpu is a bit glossy for my taste, but you get used to it . Happy shopping!

urm not necessarily tpu, im looking towards more good appearance cases thats what cruzerlite design attracted me
my plan is to use 1 nice looking flipcase for full protection, and another nice looking which only covers back :laugh: as long as its looking good even when not naked :highfive:
I love my poetic bumper, I had an sline tpu case and it was ok but the power button became increasingly difficult to press.
Stop taking other people credit for accessories links.. is already a sticky

I got the Poetic case when it was for under $4 and I absolutely love it! I am wallet-free as of now, since all I carry is the phone and the case which holds 3 cards and cash. It takes time for the leather to stretch and accomodate 3 cards, but now its the best thing I bought, well, after my N4 lol
The only downer is its a pain to use this case by just one hand, and taking a picture without the aid of the other hand is next to impossible.
So I've ordered the amCase(TM) Slim fit case for Google Nexus 4 -Matte Black for under $3 including shipping. Should be here tomorrow/Tuesday, so will update my post.
Cheers!

btw, the case was using magnetic clips right?
saw about this one and plan to buy it, but its at china website... :S almost the same like poetic ,without the place to hold cards... http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.80.gPYjN8&id=18281667386
btw with the bumper shortage on google website i bought shenit bumper case for nexus 4, on amazon
so now i have nillkin bookstyle flip case, cruzerlite androidified tpu case, shenit bumper case, plan to buy http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.80.gPYjN8&id=18281667386 to replace the nillkin flipcase, dont quite like its serface
I am looking for a clear TPU case, something akin to cruzerlite, only no textures, drawings, or anything on it. I really don't like the way matte feels in my hand, so I'd like it to be glossy. I had a cruzerlite for my galaxy nexus, but the back of the Nexus 4 is so pretty that I want a clear one Unfortunately either cruzerlite doesn't offer one, or it's not listed on amazon.
Even if they did, I don't think the clear ones have a fully transparent backing (rather it is frosted.)
I want this too! But so far the best I've found is a two piece hard case.

Well, other than "In stock on February 20, 2013" absolutely nothing, I'm definitely gonna grab me one!
I've been looking for a tpu transparent case too, I've seen clear ones are with the s on the back,
the link above looks like the one to get, images doesn't help alot as they look photoshoped
you would of thought they make a clear one to begin with so you can show off the back while protecting the side
Hmm...the description is a tad bit vague. It indicates that it "snaps" on, but the soft cases don't "snap" so to speak. Just wondering if it has that gel feel to it, I don't like matte cases.

The black is TPU
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/02/1...-case-clear-back-shows-your-sparkly-goodness/
The Ringke Fusion is a mix of TPU and PC – TPU is the black part for bumper-style protection, PC is the clear back. The TPU portion has what feels like a soft, almost matte finish and does not give off the rubbery feel like other TPU cases.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hmm...I don't really like matte finish. Or at least, I like how the glass on the phone itself feels, or something equally smooth.
keep in mind, all transparent cases. be it silicon or tpu, colourize and end up in an awful dirty brown/yellow look within a few weeks. Thats a reason for me never to get a transparent case again, despite the cool looks.
Hmm...good point.
Just noticed this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AJNM57O/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Since I liked the cruzerlite case for my gnex, I just ordered one. Seems clear enough, I guess. Saw one complaint of yellowing on clear ones for other phones, seems not all of them do this though.
For $13, I'm not going to complain much if it turns yellow after 6 months.
keep in mind because of the glass back of the phone that the tpu will touch and will create a "wet spot" look. I'll try to find a video of that issue later when I'm at a desktop computer
I wanted one too at first until I saw those marks. I think hard clear plastics are the best alternative
