The category filters of electronics distributors used to be good (some still are). But then they started letting business people categorize the products, and now finding stuff without having a part number is basically a lottery.

hell, even with a part number, you still have to sort through a bunch of irrelevant stuff. I swear they must just "select all" when assigning tags to phone cases and stuff.

Fuck phone cases and bad search. I just got the Sony Xperia 10 V. The whole Sony Line is just changing the number to 1, 5, or 10, and the Roman numeral from I to V (and growing).

Good luck finding anything. It literally took me hours (including advanced Google Fu) to find out that the style of case I want doesn't exist for my model. (But the 10 IV has it.)

Is there a site that categorizes cases by exact model? I feel like it shouldn't be this hard.
