I believe the Tri-Fold case is sold through Sony UK. See thread below.

I've had mine over a year using the original case and more recently with the tuff-luv case.
It lives in the knee pocket of my cargo trousers, most of the time. Or in the ipod/mp3 packet of my Swissgear Maxxum laptop backpack. And does the tube journey for 3 hours a day in my hand. The most damage was done dropping it 3 inches onto a foam mattress and breaking the plastic clip on the stock cover. While I am a vocal proponant of upgrading from the case provided, I honestly think that once you have a decent softcase that should be enough for the vast majority of the time (unless you work in construction) or somewhere where it's more likely to get hit. |

I got the tri-fold, and it really felt more secure and protective than the original cover. Unfortunately, it's still susceptible to the dreaded broken clip, but the case itself was wonderful.

I also use the dvd tin with the original cover. The tin is great for protection and you can personalize it by covering it with stickers.
