Check this amazing leather case from Kouros! So much quality*

Kouros Shield for Sony Xperia Z1
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] amey2606:
Hello guys,

Anybody got any cases from Krusell..?

I heard they are really high quality ones.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] geomos:
I just bought a krussel color cover yesterday. It has an amazing fit openings for the power, volume,camera buttons and for the magnetic charger and use port.

It doesn't add any bulk but it doesn't offer much protection either. It has a rubbery feel and medium grip. The only problem that I found is the power button opening which is quite small for my gigantic fingers!!!!!
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] amey2606:
Any link or pics bro.? :)
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] c312eal:
Anybody have a review of the Kouros Shield? It' pretty pricey.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] shem2409:
Damn, that's waaaaaay to expensive for a case. After all its just a piece of leather as well.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] c312eal:
Looks like some high quality leather and stitching though
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] braveally:
Just purchased these 2 cases

I just purchased these two cases:

Amzer Pudding TPU Hybrid: http://www.ebay.com/itm/400583728640?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Probably the better in terms of protection of the two. Does add some substantial bulk to the phone. The back is similar to the Incipio (but flexible like gel) and has a quality feel to it, but there is some space between it and the phone that generates a bit of rattle. Not a problem, but doesn't seem as premium as the Incipio in this regard. The sides are black gel, and although I don't really like the look, I know it will provide the edges with some much needed impact resistance.

and

Incipio Feather Case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FCLKJ6W/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The best looking case of the two. Probably not worth much in terms of protecting the phone. More of back scratch and shatter protection than impact resistance. Very light and thin and makes the phone look even cooler (IMHO). If your more concerned with not scratching the back than overall protection, go with this one. This case is hard and in practice not flexible. I really like this but understand gel provides more protection.

I currently use the Amzer on the daily as I commute by bike and could use the extra shock protection. I use the incipio on weekends when i'm on foot, minimal gear or just wanna be cute.

In case anyone wants any more direct comparison or have questions about either, let me know.

It's just they charge so much for it. Let us know the leather quality and the stitch quality. The black one with the red stitching looks really modern and high class. The dark brown one isn't bad either. I will be waiting for your review :D

Just bought Nillkin tempered glass for Z1 (front tempered glass and back protector) and I must say - it's the best spent 20$ ;)

Sent from my Z1
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Furma:
so it finally arrived

i've been using it for half a day now

pros:

- looks cool

- notification light always visible

cons

- NOT a tight fit, phone can

easily

fall from pouch if turned upside down or if you swing your arm a little harder

- too expensive

I really dont see the point in having the bottom of this case open if you can slide the phone easily just by turning the case upside down or grabbing the phone from the top and pulling it out.

The case does look as advertisied (just with some wrinkles - it is leather after all), and the inside is really soft - nothing to scratch your phone on.

Would I buy this again ? No. Before this case I had spigen crumena leather case:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...leather-pouch-like-a-mercedes-for-your-phone/

in comparison spigen made a better product (even tho the leather pull tab broke after several weeks) - it was a much tighter fit and the only way phone was coming out was either by pulling it out or by pressing the bottom and squirming it out.

Kinda dissappointed with my purchase..I dont feel safe carrying my Z1 in this case at all..
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] c312eal:
Thanks for your review.

Is the stitching and leather good quality?

Any pictures to show how loose it is? Does Spigen make a leather pouch like that for the Z1?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Furma:
yes, the leather is good quality and so is the stitching (so far no loose ends)

i dont have a camera, i only use my phone, so i cant show how loose it is lol

but if you grab the case by its sides (even lightly) the phone slides out without any problems

if you grab it front and back it wont fall out that easily but still it wont make you feel safe

spigen does not make leather pouches for Z1 thats why i opted for kuoros..
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Zerousen:
This metal bumper case looks quite nice, anyone pick up something similar to this?

I'm guessing that the cutout at the bottom is so that the speaker can be heard.

I used Sena pouches for my iphone and galaxy S4 and note 2 but they didn't do one for the Z1
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] mdt73:
Spigen doesn't make the Crumena for the Z1, according to their site. Can you link where you bought it?

has anyone found a hybrid case with silicone and hard abs over? with the magnetic charger opening please!

the Case-mate Tough Case for Sony Xperia Z1 is nearly perfect, except for that :/
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Furma:
i had crumena for my previous phone, htc one x

i just mentioned it cause its also a leather pouch...

So after several days with kuoros pouch i can say i am disappointed.. pouch is now even more open and phone basically slides out at will.. was in the movies yesterday and didnt even notice my phone was out of the pouch..

dont know whether or not just leave it in water so it shrinks lol

Exactly, folio cases are not practical for phones. They work better with tabs.

Very minimal. Can you provide a link of which case this is ?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Furma:
so i've contacted kuoros cause the case got even worse last few days (it's even more loose)

they said i should send them the faulty case (apparently sometimes they get this problems cause they use genuine leather) and they will send me a new one and refund me the shipping cost

i will write a new review with the case i receive =)

Kind of bummed out, since it's such a nice looking case, but I won't be getting it since there is no magnetic charging port. I will instead purchase the metal slim bumper case.

Hi, does anyone know why some cases, like my case mate tough case, have a hole in the back next to the camera when others don't. Is there a sensor there or something?

It's because the Japanese variants of the phone have some sort of sensor/IR Blaster there, so they just built it into the case so they can sell it worldwide.

Something like this then

Sony Xperia Z1 TPU Gel Skin Case / Cover by Terrapin

It's so minimalistic and you can hardly tell its there provided you colour match :good:

Just realised yours is the 'Black' one as it looks kinda grey. There is a 'Solid Black' too which is much darker.

Can you comment on how much of a dust magnet this gel case is ? a greyish case would be better than solid black as it would show dust less.

Also can you comment on how sticky to hold this case is, great grip in the hand i suppose but how easy is it to pull out of a pants pocket, Does it cling to lint etc. This i've hear is the downside of TPU cases. Then again not all TPU cases are the same either.

It also has an opening for magnetic charging, can you confirm whether it fits in the charging dock, looks like it should.

just realised i had already bookmarked this case, so its been mentioned before. if the usablity is good then this case is affordable, preserves the looks whilst offering scratch protection at the same time. Note also how it envelops completely the top and bottom which other cases leave exposed. A good choice.

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

These are stock photos by the vendor so can you take actual photos so we get a better idea how metal slim looks.

Had recommended this case earlier only to be told by some one else who had it that it was '3/10' (!). When asked to clarify what he meant i never got a reply.

His question was already answered :) NFC is a lot lower and closer to the center of the back, that cutout in some cases is because some case manufacturers sell the same case for both European and Japanese variants and the Japanese Z1 has either a IR blaster or a sensor next to the camera where that cutout is.

Magnetic Charger Case

Very nice cases given in this topic! Actually I am looking for a case where only the jack plug and the magnetic charger are accessible. Of course the buttons needs to be accessible too. The reason I am not looking for a case where my micro-USB connector is accessible is because it will open frequently when I take my phone out of my pocket, which I do not want.

But as in the other topic on this forum, there was no case mentioned which fits my needs and I was wondering if there was such a case. The magnetic connector does not need to be accessible by the dock, but only with a cable. So the thickness of the case doesn't really matter much. As long as it doesn't make my phone too bulky (multiple the phone by more than 2, and it would become too bulky). If I would have a choice, I prefer to have a hard case instead of a gel case.

I can't post links yet, but I thought to buy one from eBay (€1,12) which on the photo only left the magnetic connector open for use, but it also left the other port accessible. And the speaker for making a call is blocked by the case, which makes it pretty useless.

At the moment I am using the Love Mei case, but I am afraid it'll scratch my phone when I am taking it out (or already scratched it while putting it in). Also it is not really a tight fit. Not my favorite case...

It's seems to me very slim, and good looking.

[Xperia Z1 Accessories] calves1988:

On ebay uk search for "Metal Aluminum BUMPER Frame Hard Back Case Cover Skin for Sony Xperia Z1 L39h" .

What do you think?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Zerousen:
Friend of mine has one of these. Better than the Lovemei one IMO. Though it's nice, I don't like having to work a bit harder to push the buttons. I ended up ordering the metal slim bumper case from mobilefun last week, but I'm guessing that it's been delayed due to the holidays.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] calves1988:
You are saying that the buttons don't fit properly in the case? Which buttons?

Do you know if the usb charging door is easily open when the z1 is inside the bumper?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Zerousen:
I mean that you have to push your fingers in a further to press the buttons. It isn't all too bad if you have smaller hands, though. As for the USB flap, the aluminum bumper leaves plenty of space open for you to be able to open it up just fine.
