Sony Xperia Z1 white leather case, etc...

As I have promised, I post a photos of a phone with a case from a French Amazon, a protection screen and a docking station from Sony.

All of this is looking like that.

About a protection screen I can tell that I am totally content, details I will tell in a topic about them. To put it on with some skills was an easy task, I have experience :)

The case is quite fat and will protect well.

On another hand I close the case and feel that it is opening a bit by itself. It is fat one but it keeps a phone by corners quite confident though.

The most not comfortable is to take it by a left hand, your thumb will be exactly on a part of a case which is created to stand a phone. The problem can be easily solved by turning over all back side of a case. It can be with time damaged from a 360 degree ngle but I prefer to keepa phone without being afraid I can fall it down.

Phone can stand perfectly.

I do not afraid about corners, my experience tell that the screen (and a back sde of that phone) is the easiest part for a damage, screen is very large and sure in my pocket in jeans can be damaged by a door or a wall's corner. I am thinking about another place to bring it now ...

The most big advantage for me in this case were 3 things - first and the main is possibility to recharge a phone through a docking station with this case. It can do perfectly, as you can see on a photo.

A docking station has a standart holder for a phone and a holder for a phone witha bamper or silicon case. In my case I need the first one. It looks like that.

Second is a good design and white color, third was a protection of a screen. Bumper cases I dislike due to their construction. As I have told before, screen for me a place #1 for a protection.

So by resume I am happy and wishing everyone to celebrate a New Year.

P.S. all photos done on Sony Xperia Arc, so the quality can be better.

yeah, look a previous post
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] bewA:
thanks but that case exposes all the ports...
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] sneaky55121:
Hello,

I'm interested to buy this case, please could you please post some photos?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] calves1988:
Just one more question.

Do you know about any loss of signal with this case?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] sneaky55121:
Hi,

I bought that bumper case but I do not recommend it, the buttons are very hard

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

where you bought it?, could post photos as seen on the sides
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Zerousen:
Unfortunately, no, I do not know. There are often warnings though from some sellers warning of loss of signal with the use of the aluminum bumpers, but if that were the case I think many people would be complaining about it more here, which does not seem to be the case.

Got a Simplism case for the Xperia Z1

It comes with a screen protector, as well as a piece of cloth and dust-removing tape. Fits perfectly fine with 0.33mm glass.

Protects full backside without looking ugly. Most edges are covered. Front is mostly covered, with exception to the bottom

Downside is the front LED notification is blocked...while the backside hole where it's completely useless is exposed.

soo! after a month of waiting i just got my tpu case from aliexpress, for just 3.5$ you get this nice good looking great fitting tpu case.

actually doesn't enlarge the device by much at all. i'm quite satisfied, i see no reaon to pay over 10$ for any case.

all ports are accessibly, all buttons etc, only sad part is the sony charging dock don't catch it :/ the magnet it pulling but theres no charging...perhaps with a charing adapter it could work as the port is clear...

here's a few pics:

received a new kuoros leather case after i returned the old one due to it being too loose

they state the following in the mail:

"in the first days, you probably will have to make some extra forcing to put your phone in and out, but it will adapt to your phone for sure in a moment"

it has been 3 days so far and the case is still too tight

every time i put Z1 all the side buttons are pressed and phone enters camera app

once inserted, i have to press the power button for phone to turn off

obviously tight leather cases are not good for Z1 due to side buttons that stick out too much..
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] shem2409:
I have the official Roxfit faux leather pouch and because of the way it is designed the side buttons don't get pressed. I have been using it for almost a month now and the phone still sits tightly in, no problem.

Did a search of thread and didn't see anyone posting the KLD Enland case. I have the brown case (also comes in black, white, pink and hot pink), ordered from Ebay for about $9 US. I like the feel of the case, the material is not real leather but feels premium. Also a cutout on the left for the magnetic charger port. Only thing I don't like is the cutout for the camera shutter button is too small. It makes using the shutter nearly impossible.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] c312eal:
Thanks for the update. I'm guessing this leather pouch is a disappointment. If it loosens up let us know. It's such a same something with such beautiful quality is poorly designed.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] naga.nino:
I am very disappointed with this case. Back transparent plastic cover scratches as hell. Case looks good only for a couple of minutes, and after that more and more scratches start to appear. You scratch the hell out of it even when cleaning transparent back with a soft cloth. What the hell, i paid fckin £15 to have scratches even from touching the case?! For that money you can expect fckin tempered glass, not cheap fckin plastic.

how does frames fair when you use jeans almost everyday? do they easily bend or something?

Hey guys, which one is the slimmest /thinnest made of Rubber-silicone-tpu ?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] krispijn_s:
As far as I know, Sony makes these just for the Z1 (the pictured case) and the ZU.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] One Twelve:
Why is that ?

The case looks like it allows access to any magnetic charger.

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

Yes but how easy is it to use this case for messaging, taking calls or photography ?

With every folio case you have to move the front cover away to take a call, maybe for messaging its not too bad. There is this extra step to do every time.

ok, this is a high requirement, it means bulky case.

If you put phone facing inwards instead of outwards then screen will be ok. But back will get a dent.

Another way is to carry phone in your top jacket or shirt pocket instead of pant pocket but then you have to wear a shirt every day.

bumper + glass protector means you choose not to have scratches for easier handling. Bumper won't protect too much if it falls down. But if you have a good grip then chance of falling is less. Its a compromise for quick access.

Otherwise you have good protection but the phone is bulky and uncomfortable to carry.

These are the 2 choices.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] shteren:
It allows access for magnetic chargers, but in the dk31 charging dock it's not enouch, I suppose with uab to magnetic adapter it should be perfectly well, infact I just ordered one yestarday because of this. I can tell you if it woeks when I get it.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Авель:
when I turn back that back side of the phone, I don't meet any problems. The company wasn't so dumb to create a case that closing camera, so I do any photos from both camera without any problems as well. When you take a photo and keeping a phone in a landscape position, you keeping it by the phone and not by the case in fact.

But you're right, you have to move front cover every time sure. This is the payment for a protection of a screen unfortunately.

It is impossible to keep a phone without turning over a front cover in a back side.

Exactly, my poor English does not allow me to find good words for it. Well you have to pay for everything, this thickness protect your phone and making troubles in the same time. Maybe I would prefer more firm case but this is the best what I saw in this forum and in Internet that fulfill my requirements.

That's right, but in first case I afraid more about a camera, the possibility to damage such a little place is lower than a screen sure but I am lucky with a Murphy's laws. So in this case I prefer to damage a screen than camera hehe))

Second variant can be good also but I afraid of pickpocketing and I don't like to leave something important in a coat or suit when I leave it on a chair and going away. Also thives are masters to take a vallet even from an inside pocket in your suit, this is the most secure place in opinion of most of people and they know it.

When I have had a Sony Xperia x10 which is also awkwardly big, I have had a fastening to a belt, that could be a variant but also has several disadvantages.

True. this phone is new and I will not buy a new one for a long time so I prefer to have it bulky I guess. I keep a phone quite strong in my hands (ohhhh my precious!!!) and actually I use it so often that I do not need a quick access :D
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] One Twelve:
Please do, i saw that usb to magnetic on brando and at half the price as the dock its looks interesting.

It would seem that your dock is quite fussy with charging and wants a naked phone. As there are others here that have confirmed it works with other cases. So it's strange that with such a thin tpu case as you have that it will not work.

See this

is your docking station missing the second holder ?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Авель:
No, I just took all these two holders away and took a photo. On my photo you just need to take one of them and to put into the station.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] One Twelve:
Could you take a photo of how you use the rear camera with this case ? as its not clear to me how the case cover does not block the rear camera in landscape position.

That means the protection is mostly when you are carrying the phone in your pocket. Other times the cover will be open. You better hold it well, because if you drop it then it will fall face first. The corners are well protected though.

Understand. Ballistic brand cases do not protect the front.

Ha! i knew this was something wierd. I would put the phone, camera first in my pant pocket as that way its easier to remove and goes straight to your ear. You do not have to orient it.

Agree, unfortunately shirt pocket is good for pick pockets. I've heard a couple of stories where it was stolen this way. Smartphones are good for thieves. They are too big to stay in your pocket when sitting down, so you take them out and leave them on the table.

You are referring to a holster, unfortunately they are no longer practical once the screen got bigger than 3.5 inches.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Lordsmiff:
Yes!

After reading 40 pages of this, this is the one I'm going to get :)

I've had an element case before (metal bumper for iPhone 4) and it was very good quality, though as you say, expensive.

I've not checked the date on your post but have you got it yet and tested it?

Cheers,

Smiffy.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] asbesto:
help!
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] One Twelve:
Right ,i posted your quote for shteren, if your case can fit in the charger i see no reason why his which is much thinner should not work.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] shteren:
Mine can fit in the dock but it has two milimeters of tpu on the side which is too high for the contact to make a good connection...
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] One Twelve:
Ah, yes his case does not have any obstruction in the way.

What this means is other bumper cases also will not work with the DK31 charger even if they have opening for the dock. An opening in the case does not prove it will work with the DK31 dock unless otherwise confirmed.

What is the point of sony providing a dock attachment that is for cases but only very thin ones. For metallic screw on bumpers this will be a real hassle.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] shteren:
And thats the reason why I bought a usb to magnetic adapter, hopefully it'll be fine, meawhile my case fits quite easely so taking it off every night to charge is no hassle.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] One Twelve:
mmm, tell me this after 2 months. It's something you should not have to do on a daily basis.

But i think (hope) that your usb to magnetic will work. The smaller attachment in comparison to dock means that less area aorund the magnetic connector needs to be exposed. Less chance of any material to get in the way.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] rayan210:
Hey all, anyone there had this case : http://www.mobilostore.com/coque_de_protection/sony_xperia_z1/sebmc0018/978328.html ? If yes, what do you think, because the case looks good

[Xperia Z1 Accessories] thepanttherlady:
I'll be purchasing one from Ebay (can't post the link because I'm new) until Phantomskinz comes out with a full body shield and I can find a glass oleophobic screen protector. Bought one from Brando for my XZ and loved it.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] RuffaloBone:
About the Incipio; it hasn't been released yet. Do you have a link for this info?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] jos_031:
Incipio covers magnetic charging port... i was hoping to get it too
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] RuffaloBone:
I'm still getting it when it is released. How do you know it covers the magnetic charging port?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] inffy:
I havent really got the idea with the Incipio / Case-Mate etc cases which don't cover the whole phone sides. With Incipio and Case-Mate Barely there then top and bottom of the phones are not covered. Defeats the purpose of a case kind of.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] jos_031:

It is thin.. hence minimal....which was what i needed...but not too rigid..I think it is because of the size.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Mi|enko:
Why do all the slim cases have that dumb extra hole for no reason? Bugs me. Many for the Z had the same hole.

Element case is an excellent. The quality and packaging is top notch and well worth the price and it made in USA. Thanks to someone who posted the link. I bought it from ebay. One thing, I wish the flash attached magnetically, and also I wouldnt use the card slots because it takes away the lightness of the case. Sorry, I used my Ipad for the pics

Guys I just bought Z1 and I'm looking for case on amazon.co.uk that will be compatible with DK31. It can be either book one or the ordinary. I thought about Roxfit book case for XZ1 and cut hole for charging port with sharp knife/blade. Any sugestions?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Lordsmiff:
Shrugz- take a look at the elementcase soft-tec - looks very similar and I know elementcase make good quality stuff :)

Is there any cases and covers that actually fit the magnetic charger ??

- none of them i have bought, that is not even from the same Company, DON`t fit in the charger without modifications....

I dont want to modify neigter the charger or the case, that is bogus that you have to anyway...:eek:

So pleace remember to write if the cover can be used in the magnetic charger when you write about a cover...:good:

This one works with the magnetic charger.

It leaves the power button, magnetic charging port, sd card, speaker, lanyard hole, headphone jack, and camera and flash uncovered.

Protected my phone from dropping many times, screen still has no scratches.

con: back plastic gets scratched easily.

Anyone?

ok, so following this guide:

http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/09/24/sonys-dk30dk31-charging-dock-can-be-hacked-to-use-the-magnetic-cable-instead/

i dissasembled my dock because it's stupid and usless anyway and feels unstable, so now i have a charging cable :P lol.

unfortunatly the opening in my case was still too small so i had to open it up a bit with a stanely knife, 2 mm in each side :) did it slowly with some patience, took excatly 5 minutes and now the cable comes in perfectly and it's a snaping just fine and charging :)
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] One Twelve:
You didn't get the usb to magnetic charger ?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] shteren:
I bought one, it will take a week or two more before it arrives...
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] jacker60:
I have bought Rock Slim Flip Leather (imitate..) Cover and its OK for me :p, here are some pictures:

The back is semi-transparent... I like it

You have acces to almost all the ports :highfive:

You cant acces the SIM/reboot port, but so far I dont need it... yet :victory:, power, volume and camera are there ;)

SD/USB and magnetic ports doesn't represent a problem :cool:

3.5 jack and audio are free

So I like it, maybe the only bad thing its that to take a photo, because of the cover, you have to hold it maybe in an uncomfortable way for some people, for me works ok, Im thinking in buy another but a different colour :silly:

P.D: Sorry for the bad photos :(
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] markuz85:
I have the exact same one! I think it's really nice.

Edit: un-quoted the pictures ;)
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Celeron787:
That was my previous case, I really like it for the slim look, but what made me change case was because I had to leave it open for charging, and quite awkward to hold in my hands. Guess flip cases doesn't work for me:p
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] DripleX:
I would like to present you a metal case made of aluminium.

I bought it on eBay Germany for 7,15 EUR including shipping.

I want an alu-bumper, because it doesn't hide the nice glas of the Xperia Z1. The most of it does completely hide the back side.

The case came from Hong Kong. The shipping took about 10 days to Germany.

I am totally happy with the quality. It fits everything as it should and there are all cut-outs available. The processing I find really good. I would not have expected that.

The magnetic USB charging cable from Sony fits great as well, which isn't the case at the most of it.

The signal strength has not become poor as it occurs in most metal-cases.

And now a few pictures of it:

​

Sorry for my bad english, I am german. ;)

[Xperia Z1 Accessories] TrueRedRedvil:
I am using the Incipio Feather case, which is super nice designed, very comfortable feels the pone. I have never dropped the phone or else, but after two months, 2 cracks on the edges of the case appeared. It is strange because I care a lot for my Z1 and can not understand when and how these cracks appeared. So if you buy an Incipio have in mind that because it is polycarbonate, hard case can be broken.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Shrugz:
Damn, looks sleek! But still, also looks like it ill add some extra bulk with that mounting device. I was hope for something without that mounting stuff. Though, i would appreciate some feedback when you get yours :D
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] LeeTL:
Looks really good. However, are you able to measure the thickness of the case? Thanks!
