Personalize your Xperia™ smartphone

Hi Guys!!!The reason why I bought an iPhone 4 and 4s before was because of the availability of accessories for the device. When I buy a phone I want to protect it from scratches and the keep it in pristine condition. That's why Phone Cases and Screen Protectors are the most important accessory for me. For a while Xperia users were just contented with the cheap TPU or silicon cases available on the "tiangge's", but that is about to change as SONY Mobile is partnering with Top Case Manufacturers to offer cases for our beloved Xperia Phone. Please read the announcement below from SONY Mobile:

"Personalize your Xperia™ smartphone

Welcome!!!


This Blog is dedicated to all the XPERIA users and fans in the Philippines. My goal is to keep you guys updated with everything about XPERIA. I have been a Sony Ericsson user ever since, and the brand has a special place in my heart since my very first phone was a Sony Ericsson T300i. After that all my phones were from them namely k508i, s700i, k600i, k750i and P990i. (some of them were from my family member's I just used them for some time... hehe!!!) I stopped using the brand after P990i since I lose hope with the brand. I used Nokia and recently Apple which I loved. But now when Sony divorced with Ericsson and launched the XPERIA S, I sold my iPhone 4s and bought an XPERIA S as my love affair with the brand reawakened. Like when Sony Ericsson releases a flagship model before and I used to visit their store just to have a glimpse of their new phone, imagining I could have it. LOL!!!  So join me in rediscovering the Brand. After all, it’s not a Phone... It's an XPERIA...
