Labato Xperia Tablet Z Slim Cover

Hi,

I've read all the posts in this thread and I think I've found on ebay another slim case for our XTZ from "Labato".

By now I cannot post external links... so.. you can find it on ebay.co.uk (also in ebay.it, I haven't been able to find it on ebay.com) searching "labato xperia tablet z"

Has anyone bought this cover?

Seems like a cheaper china-replica of the Poetic case, with the micro-usb mod made by "b8drf" :)

The Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810?

:good:Hello guys

Sorry if this as already being covered elsewhere but am just trying to get some feedback on the The Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810?:-

http://logitech-en-emea.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/35139/kw/technical

How many of you use this keyboard? how good is it,are there better alternatives for example the ZAGG Android e.t.c.

many thansk Steve:D
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] b8drf:
OK, following on from my above mod, I decided it didn't feel as safe charging the XTZ with the case open as it would closed, so I decided to complete the second mod to cut a small hole aligned to the Micro USB port and the same size as my cable end ... here is the result ...

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38950657/Photos/PoeticMod2.jpg

Again, with a very sharp craft knife - measured, marked and cut from the inside - it was pretty simple and worth the effort - note, without my first mod above the case wouldn't sit properly against the waterproof flap which needs to be flush to the XTZ for this to work and look neat ...

Well it looks like ill be buying the fruity purple one!

I biught mune less than 2 weeks ago off of Amazon and it is the old model so they may not.

Nice, I was thinking of doing exactly that and then maybe a little stitching around the edges.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] b8drf:
No need for stitching IMO ... if you use a very sharp blade there is a very clean cut and no visible gap between leatherette (exterior) and faux suede (interior) ...
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] Half Alive:
See the last two comments.. It's solved in the black one too.

I plan on using my X-Acto knife with a fresh gold plated blade to cut it with, I'm just thinking that maybe it'll make it look better to have a little stitch around the edges.

Just to follow up with the Incipio Lexington case

It's started to tear already at the place where the cover meets the hard case with moderate use and the micro fiber back of the cover is really easy to get dirty and there's no way to clean it (unless I guess you want to try to put it through the washer)

Got my dock and leather case today, both from Sony.

If you plan to buy the SGPCV5 think twice before buying it. I'm really disappointed by the leather quality at this price, 80€,I expected better quality leather, thicker. Instead it looks like smooth plastic!
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] dhruvaz:
What the.... I just received mine today... I hope it will be fine this is my third case the one before were two luvtab cases.... which i kinda hated.. if this one fails then i'm going for poetic case ( and i guess by that time they'll have a black case with charger slot modded.

UPDATE: POETIC SLIMLINE CASE

I just got one of these delivered from Amazon UK today (£12.95) and you DO NOT have to remove the case to charge. I don't know if it's an updated design but there is a cut out in the case to access the USB port.

Quick review...

Very good case and worth 13 quid of anyone's money.

Excelent fit and looks good

The Youtube video review said it doesn't magnetically lock in the stand view... It does

A bit on the heavy side... being how light the tablet is, any case will probably feel a bit heavy!
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] Mr Paul:
Is the cut out in the leather hinge too? Can we have a picture please?
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] zach181:
Yes it is in the leather case also. I can't provide a picture as I don't use any picture hosting.

Only part you can't access when it's in the case is the Micro SD slot.

EDIT:The Amazon seller I used was a company called Smart Shop Online

Here's a picture showing it: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71-I5yOE34L._SL1500_.jpg

Can't see the black ones on there at the moment though.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] Half Alive:
Received my Black slimline case a few days ago..

And like I said .. The problem is resolved.

There is a cut out for the charger so you don't need to keep it open.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] Mr Paul:
Hmm I wonder if I can send mine back for replacement?
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] xperiax10.awesome:
Yes, you can - they will replace.

Poetic Slimline, sadly in purple but it does have the hole in the case that will allow me to charge with it closed. I am hoping it can also keep the USB port open but secure.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] weddywie:
How's the charging flap when charging and the case is close?
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] Half Alive:
The case won't close perfectly when it's open. So you have to made a cutout for it with a knife.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] Half Alive:
Yes I think it will + If you didn't pull the flap out of the case. the magnet won't be useful as the case won't reach the magnet point in the tablet

(It's on the left of the camera) and I can't give you a picture as I've already made a cut out for the flap or it will be broken right now. =)

I think not everyone will do the long 90 degree procedure whenever they charged the tablet and there is also a risk if you didn't take care.

Hello again shangrila500...

Just wondered if their as being any news re Keyboard~Folio case or similar for the XTZ

I took delivery of my XTZ a few days ago now and have not used it until I have purchased a cover/keyboard

Best Wishes Steve:good:
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] rnbg:
Thank you for your lnformation! I have the dock and ordered the case.. I would like to remove the guides, too but I do not know how to do that. Can you tell me how you took off the back?

Does the charging work when you put the tablet without the case into the dock with the removed guides?

Thanks a lot for your help!
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] Crake:
Hi everybody!

I've bought a POETIC SLIMLINE CASE (it is terrific and simply the BEST), but unlike the 1st post of this thread, i DON'T have to take of the cover to charge it.

Can it be a new version??
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] shangrila500:
Yes, they've updated it in the past month or so.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] slandash:
I have had my Tablet Z for a couple of months now and still haven't gotten myself a case for it.

I kinda like the sounds of the Poetic slimline case, especially after the revision that lets you charge it with the case on.

However I came across an amazon review claiming that the new revision is a fake and this has me a little concerned

This person claims that they "contact poetic and have verified it to be an imitation"

So i'm still on the fence about this case, it's going to cost me $50 with shipping to Australia :( and I can't find anywhere cheaper, So i want to be sure this case is for me... The other option will cost me about $130 to get the Sony case and the dock.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] shangrila500:
Its the real deal the only difference is the charging port is open and the Poetic symbol has moved, if you are concerned contact Poetic for yourself and ask.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] WythDryden:
Tbh the slimline is a great case, I use it everyday. But I always take it out of the case the minute I get home, it truly is the best way to enjoy it. So whether it has the port open for charging is a non-issue for me. :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] magpipishbol:
Aww im looking for a case itself too bad I ddnt get yours
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] GretaLewd:
Yes, agree - great case.

Regarding the charging port :

The "fix" is not quite up to the job. While you can access the charging port with the case on and open, if you close the case with the tablet's USB port cover open you risk breaking it as the "frame" (the bit that holds the tablet in place) of the case is not cut away enough to allow you to clip the USB port cover into the little hole in the tablet.

If you have a look at the attached pick (it's not the Poetic case, but shows the problem) you'll see the issue. There is a slot for access to the USB port, and a hole for the hole where you clip back the USB port cover... BUT the bit of frame between the port and the hole prevents you from clipping the port cover back.

I cut away that bit of the "frame" to allow the USB cover to be folded and clipped into the little hole. Now I can access the USB port with the case closed without risk of breaking the USB port cover.

IMUCA Casing for Xperia Z Tablet

Hi All,

have gone through the entire thread and still cannot decide on which other casing to purchase as i prefer to use sony dock for charging instead of opening/closing the usb flap.

I have purchased this casing (based in Malaysia) and have found the below link if anyone of you guys plan to get it.

Pro:

1. Slim and have a nice touch/feeling. looks neat and tidy as well.

2. can be used with sony dock, the casing can be easily detach (partially) as that is the feature for it to stand.

Con:

1. the IR blaster is covered.

2. although the site say it support intelligent wake up/sleep mode. its not working for my case. i tried using a normal magnet to make sure my device is ok.

hope this helps. :)

*** sorry, i cannot post external link. since i'm new to this site. you guys can try to google "imucaphone"

motorola wireless keyboard with device stand

Hi --

Bought a used one of these to use with my new Xperia Tablet Z:

"Motorola Wireless Keyboard with Device Stand" (oops, can't post the link but search for that or part # 23191P on Amazon and you'll find it ...)

I haven't had a lot of time to play with it, but it's been working great so far and I like having the mouse-stick for cursor control and the shortcut keys work like you'd expect them to.

Now I just need to find a sleeve for the XTZ with a side pocket where I can slip this puppy ...
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] bugger561:
Pictures are from eBay.

I just received the labato case in red.

First impressions: Great packaging, the case comes in a nice sturdy cardboard box encased in a thin fabric sleeve. Inside, the case floats freely, and holds a cardboard placeholder of the XTZ. Besides the placeholder and a bag of silica beads there is nothing else in the box.

The case: This is the first case I have bought for my XTZ, and I'm impressed. The leather itself is of high quality and the deep red color is beautiful. I have a Nook Color with the official Barnes&Noble red leather case and while this is thinner material, I feel that the labato case is adequate to protect the tablet. The back is rubbery plastic and similar to the tablet's own backing. It is easy to slip the tablet in and out of the plastic grooves which hold it in place.

There is a square section of leather which the front flap can be folded backwards and tucked into for desktop viewing.

I wish there was a clasp that would prevent the front flap from sliding around the screen when placed in a backpack. The inside front flap is a perforated leather material, inscribed with the following:

The Case has magnets to automatically wake the tablet upon opening, and to put it to sleep when closed.

I have the Sony charging dock and regret that it is not compatible with the case. Also, there is no USB cutout to charge while closed, but the plastic part of the case has a cutout to open and fold the XTZ's USB flap over. There are additional gaps in the case for the power button, volume rocker, speakers, rear camera, and IR transmitter. The memory card slot is not accessible.

Overall, I would purchase this case again. However, I do not know how it compares to the similarly priced Poetic case or others out there.

edit just saw in ebay @ 194gms

edit > how much poetic weigh ?
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] Piddi1:
Read through the whole thread Yesterday and must say that you have made it easier for me to choose casing, will go for the Zenus, fits my needs perfect.

I do however miss one thing in this thread, namely wireless headphones, a must have for this tablet. Given that I've bought the Parrot Zik I will try to give a short review, but more to come when tested properly.

No link to their site since it's my first post, just write Parrot Zik in Google and you'll get there on your own.

The first impression was not good, seemed bulky and uncomfortable, but after using them the whole time during a daytime long haul flight over the Atlantic last week I changed my opinion.

The sound quality has so far met my needs, but have in mind that I have yet to try them with HD movies or high quality sound, will come back with more info then.

The noise cancellation works like a dream, had my most peaceful long flight ever.

The packing is ****, they could have sold them with a hard case as Bose does and not selling that as accessories, that's a cheap move from Parrot.

Have not gotten around to test the built in jawbone microphone yet, will come back with more info.

The Android App shows battery left, comes with an equalizer and haves the possibility to change the angle of the sound, and the firmware for the headphones can as well be updated via the app. But they could have avoided that annoying commercial on the start-up screen.

All in all, pleased with the investment, especially since I bought them without doing any research.

[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] thebeest:
+1 for the Kroo Transformer case. Been using it for 3 months now and no signs of wear yet, versatile viewing angles, stylish nad pretty sturdy. The resting grooves even fit neatly with my Rapoo E6100 Bluetooth keyboard.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] dougie175:
Can anyone tell me does roxfit work with the dock? It looks as though if you opened the case right up it would leave the tablet exposed ready to slide into the dock? Then just tuck the rest of the case behind the dock?

Also how well does the roxfit work as a stand, I like the case but doesn't look very sturdy just using the pad to support the tablet rather than having grooves. I'm looking for a stand that holds the tablet nice and strong to use when sitting down or lying down in bed.

Thanks

Good info in this thread, thanks.

The Incipio Feather cover in Grey looks cool, but $35 for a plain plastic back cover is kinda crazy lol. I'll probably just go the ArmorSuit route for half the price.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] linkinorton:
Thanks for sharing the information, I'm considering to get a Parrot Zik too. Just one question about noise cancellation, when you were on the plane using noise cancellation feature, did you connect Zik to your phone via a wire? I guess my question is, is it possible to enable noise cancellation without enabling bluetooth? If we must enable bluetooth and noise cancellation at the same time, is it safe to do so on the plane?

Finally my Labato Flip Cover is arrived. The build quality is great! No regret getting it. :D
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] StickyWidget:
That does look nice. And it's kinda funny that that's essentially an Incipio Feather Case plus a front cover and it costs much less than the Feather ($14US shipped). Too bad it doesn't come in grey.

How is the leather attached to the back cover? Is it glued/stitched/riveted?
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] Andrewtst:
Should be glue, the back is plastic, how to stiched.

Overall is well build and nice stiched every side.

The only bad is need open the cover for charging.

Also this flip cover support open/close flip auto wake/lock.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] technaudio:
Simply because it closes, there wasn't a zipped one when I got the other one, so currently my tab sits in the felt case inside a generic 10" neoprene zipped case, which is a bit if a shame considering how good it looks. It'd be just my luck that I'd pick it up upside down and the tablet would go crashing to the floor!
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] StickyWidget:
Wanted to get some opinions on this

I've made cool bookcovers by measuring, designing, and having them printed at a local print shop on label sheet paper, I'm thinking of doing the same with this tablet. Why? Because I don't want to pay $20 for a custom skin online, the print shop does it for a tenth of that cost per sheet.

However, they can't seem to print on reusable/removable sticker paper because the machines are too hot or something (heat to help drying?) and that ruins the sticker paper.

My solution is to print on normal semi-gloss label paper as usual and stick that onto a cheap back protector, then trim as necessary.

The question is, where can I get cheap backprotectors for the XZT? (I mean thin flimsy ones like screen protectors, not hardshell protectors)

It doesn't have to be a fancy ArmorSuit-type brand, but I'm not finding any cheapo ones.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] StickyWidget:
I ordered the Incipio Feather Cover and an ArmorSuit Screen Protector for $15, it's like getting the screen protector for free so I'm alright with it. Will post a quick review on the cover when it arrives next week.
