I have 2 cases for the Xperia Z Tablet.

One off ebay that cost £15. Same as the case on first post in this thread. Dont use, and dont like it. Will throw it in the bin soon. I have the Zenus Neo Classic in wine red. It is a stunning colour and finish and of huge quality. Not using it though, as I am liking using the Z with no protection.

I will sell the Neo Classic for £25 plus postage if anyone is interested.

The Poetic case looks interesting. When I heard the roxfit needed sticking to the tablet I cringed at the thought.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] b8drf:
Make sure you check what you paid as I noticed they went from £24.95 down to £12.95 today - if you ring Amazon they will refund any price difference within 14 days of the original purchase. hth
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] gavinfabl:
thanks for heads up. just got one, 4 left now.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] b8drf:
no problem - they are proving popular at this revised price (£34.95 => £24.95 => £12.95) .... there were 15 or so in stock when I ordered mid morning today ... :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] gavinfabl:
I recall all those higher prices. Looking forward to receiving mine. If it is good, I will sell my Sony Dock.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] b8drf:
I thought about this as well, however since I tend to use the XTZ with no case at home (where the dock is) this isn't such an issue for me - I bought the Poetic to use when I am travelling or out and about (for protection) and in this scenario I will use the USB charger so I think I can live happily with both.

Incipio Lextington case

Short review of the lexington case from Incipio:

Bought it two weeks ago directly from Incipio.com and paid 31.99$ USD + shipping. The case had been out of stock for a long time before I could order it. I previously owned the official case from Sony and didn’t like it. I was disappointed with the bulk and weight it brings to the tablet. Not to mention the price.

So I went with the Incipio case and while it’s not perfect, it is way better than the official one.

Pros:

-	The Lexington fits the tablet nicely as it has almost the same length and width

-	The case feels solid and sturdy. The tablet will easily survive if dropped accidently

-	It looks really great with one little the exception as explained later

-	Made of materials that are comfortable to hold

-	The cover is particularly of good quality and remains in its place when closed

-	The tablet is very stable when placed in standing position

Cons:

-	I don’t like the position of the cover when it’s flipped on the back. I would rather have something more or less like the smartcover of my iPad

-	SDcard flap is not accessible with the shell on

-	The case doesn’t fit in the cradle

-	The case’s back is not as well made as its other parts. Mine has the leather finish applied to the surface not evenly glued and it gives a low quality look to the case. Not really a deal breaker though.

I also bought the Poetic case which I coudn't resist @ $10. More on that one later.

Eagle
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] JN3WMN:
I've had the Poetic Slimline on my tablet for over an hour now & I can honestly say it's PERFECT!

The case really is super slim & barely adds any thickness to the tablet, yet still manages to feel very sturdy & secure which was a concern I had before buying it. The front is made of a soft leather like material with microfiber underneath. Opening & closing the case feels very nice, doesn't feel flimsy at all. The back is a similar leather material but feels just a tad harder for added support. It has a very premium feel! The pics really don't do it justice. I'm very impressed with the quality.

The tablet sits inside of a hard plastic cutout & snaps in perfectly. There were no gaps at all. It has all the cut outs for the ports & since the tablet sits vertically, the power button is now on top which is nice. Opening or closing the case also wakes/sleeps the tablet which is a nice touch. My only minor gripe is the charger port is completely covered so you'd have to leave the case open while charging which is more of a design flaw from Sony in my opinion. However this doesn't really mean much. Overall this case is amazing. I'd definitely give it a 5 out of 5! I'm so glad I went with this one over the others I was looking at.

Anyone on the fence with buying this should definitely do it without worry!! :):):):good::good::good:
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] mattp94:
I appreciate the suggestion however I tried contacting Amazon but apparently as it is sold through Smart shop online they cannot offer a refund of the difference. They have suggested returning it for a full refund and re-ordering but for the £12 difference I don't think I'll bother.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] weddywie:
Was wondering if it easily falls back when you have the tablet on a movie mode with that case?
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] JN3WMN:
If you mean when it's propped up then I would say no. It actually seems to use the weight of the tablet to remain quite sturdy. I honestly have no complaints at the moment. I would highly recommend it.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] b8drf:
I took delivery this morning of the Poetic slimline case for the XTZ which is actually the 5th case I have used - the previous 4 being the OEM Sony cover, the PDair leather case and two 3rd party pouch style cases - all of which were returned or sold as I either didn't like the style, bulk or quality.

I have to say having used the Poetic for a few hours I am VERY impressed with the quality, fit and overall slimness and lack of bulk it adds.

Although not leather, it still feels like a quality material and less "synthetic" than others I have tried. The polycarbonate shell that the tablet clips into has a "soft touch" coating - very similar the Incipio feather cases. In fact if you can picture an Incipio feather case with a skin of PU leather and a Smartcover with magnets, that's what you get with the Poetic.

On the negative side (there aren't many) - I would say although slim, the case adds quite a bit of weight - I think that is a combination of the Smartcover with magnets and the Polycarbonate shell. The other downside is you cannot use the OEM Sony dock with this case.

On balance however, I will definitely be keeping this one and for the price (£12.95 from Amazon UK) you can't really go wrong.

Hope this helps ...

I have emailed Poetic about their Slimline case. This case is almost perfect, but has a major design flaw in my opinion. The tablet should be turned 180 degrees while in the case. They left the IR Blaster port open while the cover is closed and covered the charging port while the cover is closed. These should be the exact opposite based on when you would be using these ports. I honestly think someone screwed up when designing this cover.

Hopefully I hear something about this and they can fix the issue. Or you could just cut the cover at the hinge a little bit to provide access to the charging port while the cover is closed.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] b8drf:
Yes, I agree, this would also allow the tablet to be used with the cover open with the spine at the top (versus the bottom) which I find more natural.

Still a great case though ;)
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] Sean09:
I ordered the slim case as well. I just hope there is some sort of way I can modify my dock to work with the case, or some way I can get my Qi coil to properly charge the tablet - no luck on that as of yet.

Bluetooth keyboard

If someone does produce a keyboard case I hope it works better than the previous examples that I've seem. I've been using one of these for the past week or so with my XTZ and have to say I am very impressed. Perhaps not quite a slim or lightweight as a keyboard case but it is functionally far superior.

Incipio Lexington Folio FTW!

I was torn between the Incipio Lexington and the Poetic Slimline cases, but finally pulled the trigger on the Incipio product mainly because the Poetic has a flaw where it covers the charger/USB port while the cover is closed. The Lexington has an unmatched built quality and the SXTZ slips in perfectly. I am super satisfied with the case and I trust it whole heartedly in protecting my expensive gadget.

Some pics...

The Lexington Fits Perfectly

Perfect fitment. Easy install. Great protection & looks to match.

Very happy with Incipio as usual.

Noreve Leather Case *****

I just got the Noreve Leather Case from St. TROPEZ. It is wonderful and beats most of the other cases. 5 * recommendation.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] NEUR0M4NCER:
As promised, a bit of a write-up on the Invero case from Amazon.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DS3X1B6

There seems to be three standards of cover on Amazon/eBay - dirt cheap & poorly made, cheap & adequate, and wildly overpriced but great quality. This case falls in the upper middle. It's light, but of a reassuringly thick leather-like material - [MENTION=3309521]yhw22[/MENTION], it's 190 grams. I haven't added any images, as those on the Amazon site are accurate, the case is as represented there. It adds very little weight to the tablet, and it's also a good, snug fit. The cutouts are fine and correctly placed - a minor bother charging, as the case will need to be left open for access to the USB port. The magnetic flap stays closed with movement, and the tablet wakes when the flap is opened. The only faults I can share, is that the case doesn't stand up very sturdily in the viewing position - and I'm not a big fan of the little flap to hold the cover in stand position, I think it might wear out sooner than other designs. That being said, for £5.99 including postage (UK), I don't think I could complain - it comes with a really awful stylus, and a screen protector that I haven't applied yet, so don't buy if you actually want to use those, but for a decent cheap case, it's pretty great.

+1 to the Poetic Slimline case. I just got it Today and I'm loving it.

Pros:

-The Tablet retains a sturdy feel.

-The Tablet + case are still relatively light.

-The material feels great to the touch.

-The Auto Sleep/Wake function is another great addition

Cons:

-The Charging port is covered when the cover is closed

-The SD card slot is inaccessible

-It feels as if the case is inverted, since the charging port isn't facing outwards (Which is why it's covered by the cover.

Just got this case too. I have to agree with all your points accept I do think its a heavy case. It feels like it was almost as much as the tablet its self. This defeats the point of buying the thinnest and lightest 10" tablet in the market. Will try it out for a few days if It still doesnt agree with me its going on eBay!
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] RoryUK:
I just ordered this case based on its minimalistic design, I liked the fact it did not interfere with the front face.

Shame on the weight issue, like you say it kind of defeats the object of having a light tablet!

I will share my thoughts once it arrives.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] gavinfabl:
I use the Poetic case as I believe its the best out there at the moment. I did only pay £13 on Amazon.

The weight is a lot, but is everyone forgetting something, the case has to cover a big area. The Z is a 10.1 inch tablet and therefore needs more material.

The more material the higher the weight.

So until something better comes along I think its something you are going to have to accept.

[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] shangrila500:
There are a lot of generic covers with keyboards that are marketed as "Keyboard cover for Android" but none yet for the XTZ specifically. I'm hoping someone makes one soon!
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] Sean09:
I've bought a few cases and really like the thin poetic one. I really wish I could dock it though or mod the dock to fit it with that case. I hate plugging the cable in and I don't want to damage anything with qi pads.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] shangrila500:
I've got a Moko case, the Poetic case, the Incipio Feather, and the Incipio Lexington. I am like you, I prefer the Poetic.

The Lexington is decent but it doesnt have the magnets that turn the screen on and off automatically and the little flap is annoying as hell to undo. The case is extremely nice other than those two issues, and it does have the charging port available when the case is closed, but those 2 issues are fairly big to be in a $40 case.

The Moko is a good cheap case and has the magnets that turn the screen off and on which is nice, but ultimately the little flaps all over it are terrible and left a small scratch on my screen becauss of the rough edges.

The Feather is just a hard skin to go on the tablet but it isn't that great.

The Poetic case is perfect except for one issue, the charging port is covered when tbe case is closed which is a huge issue for me. I dont want to leave my table open to charge, someone could come along and knock it off or scratch tbe screen. I really love the case though, it's the perfect thinness and fits the XTZ amazingly. I would just cut the port out but I think if I did it it would look like pure ****e.

Ill try to post a few reviews with a bunch of good hi-def photos of the cases in the next few days so everyone can get a good idea of what they're like and how they'll look.
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] Kreuzfelder:
I have this one too. It's for my Tablet and my Z-Box/XBMC and it's a very good, small and have a nice working touchpad.

In Germany 35,-€ :good:
[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] b8drf:
I agree - the Poetic is the best I have tried ... In addition to the charging issue when the cover is close, even when it is open I found it difficult to seat the USB cable properly as the waterproof flap did not sit flush to the case as it does when out of the Poetic case ...

I decided to extend the cutout to the right as you look at the bottom of the tablet/case so the waterproof flap sits flush and in it's housing, this now allows the USB cable to be plugged in a lot more easily. It will also mean that if I ever decide to cut a hole in the case to allow charging with the cover closed, it will all sit a lot more neatly (reluctant to do that though - not sure if it will spoil the sleek look of the closed case)

Image of the mod attached, as you can see, after I cut with a sharp stanley blade, I rounded and smoothed the edges ...

It was easy to do and well worth it imo ... hope this helps ...

Very nicely done, how did you manage to make the cut look so neat? It looks like it came that way stock!

I think there is the possibility that it may make the case look less sleek but I think it's a very very slim chance of that happening because I am just removing a but of the leather, not reshaping it in any way.

Im not sure if thats the correct link though, the one I have can use the little USB connector or connect via Bluetooth, there are 2 different models and one has it and one doesn't.

Ive been wanting to get the diNovo Edge but I cannot see spending $300 on it!

Wanted Xperia-Rugged Case + Mini Keyboard=Suggestions Please?

I am just about to buy an

XPERIA Z 4G + Wi-Fi

I have just finished reading all 24 pages:good: of this facsinating thread on Xperia Cases e.t.c.

Unlike most folk who would prefer to keep the case as unobtrusive as possible,which i fully understand,I don`t mind a rugged case something similar to the Gumdrop Range (silicone) so would appreciate any feedback at all on these type of cases for the XPERIA Z

I really could do with a keyboard and wondered what are the top Blue-Tooth picks? again suggestions welcomed

Finally a nice pouch or bag would be good to transport Xperia on holiday:

Many Thanks In Advance

[Xperia Tablet Z Accessories] Severage:
I have poetic slimline and incipio feather. I prefer the feather. It adds like 2 ounces to the weight, while making it MUCH more sturdy IME. The Slimline does make it sturdier, and it has the nice magnetic cover/stand. but it adds like 7 or 8 ounces. It makes the tablet weigh considerably more than an iPad. Too hefty for me (first world problems).

Armorsuit is quite nice on this tablet as well.

Warning about Sony Original Case

I had my tablet and case for a little over two months now. The plastic latches that hold the tablet in place felt flimsy to begin with and started getting loose within a week of use.

I have the dock too, so I have to remove the tablet from the case to charge it and so it gets removed and put back a fair bit. In any case the right side of the latch has broken now after two months of use.
