With SFOS X running on the Xperia X, lets start a wiki with accessories for the device. Feel free to add any experience you made.

Screen Protectors

upscreen spy shield clear: To small to cover the whole front, great as privacy filter (see answer by ghling for more details)

Mumbi protective sheet, to small, too.

Tempered glass screen protector 3D curved: it covers fully the screen.

Cases

CNC aluminium casing, fits like a charme, but you have to like the color

Silicone gel case

Jolla's Finnish neighbours Lastu. Rubberised cases with wooden back covers and many customisation possibilities.

Aluminium Case: Great fit and detailed modeled, makes the phone bigger / bulkier (find full review with pictures in the answer by ghling below)

Flip-Cases

BEZ® leather flipcase (more convenient, less protective)

Terrapin leather flipcase (more protective, less convenient)

Bags

Mapbagrag bags

fitBAG: I loved the one given with our White N9, it's almost the same :)

Keyboards

Rii bluetooth mini qwerty keyboard (French azerty version verified OK with SailfishX)

Specific question 29.10.2017: Is there experience of rounded edge screen protectors together with flip cases, for example PanzerGlass with Wave BookCase ? Do they overlap or can they be used together?

Indeed, I have shorten the links and removed the unnecessary additions. People, this is supposed to be a place to share your experience with your Xperia X accessories (e.g. "it fits / doesn't fit", "it works / doesn't work",...), not to make little bucks (if any) on behalf of other peoples privacy. Please remove any parameters not needed to visit the item (for Amazon, that would be anything after the 10 char item code) or refrain from posting links at all. Thanks.

The Apple iphone x has same dimensions and camera position as Xperia X, so the list of accessories will be extended.

I put my Xperia X into this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MG0B7I2 (Heavy-duty aluminum case by Love Mei)

The case is very effective: like armor plating. Imagine your Xperia X turned into 'RoboCop' ;-)

It's a metal frame, front and rear, held together by 6 screws. The screen is covered with tempered glass, the rear with a thick rubber plate. Edges are thick rubber, designed for impact resistance. All the buttons and ports are covered: a hinged metal tab opens to allow access to the headphone jack, and a hinged rubber plug opens to allow access to the USB port. The only exposed areas are the front and rear cameras.

There are many cons: very big and heavy; not waterproof; headphone plugs must be very narrow to fit (the only ones I could find are the white Apple wired headphones); impossible to remove the case without a screwdriver (not good if you quickly need to change the SIM or SD card); screen swipes - fundamental to Sailfish - are difficult because of the raised bevels (more on this below).

OK: screen swipes. Sailfish needs 'space' for fingers on the edges of the screen. With this case, it's very difficult to swipe down to put the phone into standby or change ambience. Swipe up, for apps, is no problem. Side swiping works with difficulty; I have to put the phone into landscape mode (and sometimes also switch to another app) in order to swipe back to the home screen.

So, why use it? Because it's the best protection I've found so far. It's absolute solid, reassuringly heavy, and looks unique. For day to day use, perhaps I'll use something more standard, but for trips or expeditions, I definitely rate this case very highly.

I bought for my Jolla Intex C the Brotect Schutzfolie. That has been good for the price.

Any info if the Sony Xperia X Performance F8131 Brotect folie also fit to Sony Xperia X F5121 ?

I try the cnc aluminium frame from Amazon and don't like it. If anyone from Germany will try it, pm me and you will get a early Christmas present ;) in the up right corner the color from this frame is not very nice... image description image description

Hi all,

As anyone tried this one? Any feedbacks? https://www.amazon.com/Xperia-TUDIA-Slim-Fit-Protective-Metallic/dp/B01FJAANKW/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1511663607&sr=8-15&keywords=xperia+x

Thanks!

The first thing I need to protect is the screen, as it's fragile and expensive. Apparently, this thing protects everything except the screen.

SALE: in DNA Kauppa there is a Screenor tempered glass screen protector for 5 €, including even the postage. The width is exactly the same as the display area, so leaving 2.5 mm uncovered on each side of the screen.

Today I received a silicone cover and a tempered glass for Xperia X. Both fit perfectly and blend to each other nicely covering the phone entirely. I also like how the cover has a bump over the power button, so it is easier to push

I've got leather flip case for my Sailfish X by Insmat and can't really complain about it. It's quite cheap only 20€ (can be cheaper ofc) and it protects the screen quite well too. I've also had Insmat on my JP1.

So this flip case has three kind of spots for cards etc. and there's also a pocket for cash and whatever you want to keep there. Flip case itself is convenient and comfortable in use. I recommend to try it out
