wow, that's a beaut! even better than the Bamboo metal bumper! plus looks legit and reliable though on the pricey side. Only thing is it adds to the already 6inch height of the Z1, because of the screw part, at least better than the awkward asymmetrical bulk just one side. Hopefully the size increase isn't much, and the frame edge/lip is thick enough to create an elevation when keeping the phone on a flat surface, to avoid the surface contact.

has anyone purchased this one? it would be great if someone reviewed it. they also do international shipping.

the "Hacoa Wooden case for Xperia (TM) Z1" is beyond my budget, and seems like an illogical overkill, irrespective of how good it looks. Illogical in the sense that it is made of Natural Wood! There goes the devices Elemental Resistance in the bin. A counter agent for Z1's unique strength factor.

Thanks One Twelve!

whoaa!! thats awesome gumbsy, thanks for sharing that link, though I shortlisted this one, but then I came across this and this

"Hacoa Wooden case for Xperia (TM) Z1"

but that is an overkill !! irrespective of how good it looks. 9.7k yen equals 6200 Indian Rupees. Thats a level of Premium Beyond Premiumness, and its sold out!!! WHOA! I was planning on spending that much in total, for screen protector, case, and a 32gb class 10 microsd(Sony one-40mbps,water/shockproof, goes well with xperia z1's elemental resistance, - Item Set Bonus :P) and throw in some more for a Dock!

Can anyone who has purchased the casefanatic one review it please?

oh, so, casefanatic is just an aggregator/reseller!! i found the previously listed bumpers from ebay and amazon here

1)the awkward one corner bulge one shared by gumbsy1 & Michealtbh

casefanatic link

2) the thick bumper shared by

casefanatic link

Based on appearance, they appear to me the same, as these (Michealtbh)

1)Amazon

2)shared by btort1, not same but similar, casefanatic must have this one listed to!

ebay

So casefanatic is making them look like their brands and selling at a premium. Most of the cases I found online elsewhere for lower rates! many of those flip covers.

I am most interested in this one casefanatic - Sony Xperia Z1 L39H Metal Bumper- btw I am from India, so I got the C6902, It will fit right? I saw the Japanese case Hacoa one shared by Hupsaflups, having an extra carved hole next to the rear camera. So I am guessing the Japan one is different from the international one? and the L39H is US one right? same as the international/Indian Z1?

Also, again, if anyone has got the casefanatic - Sony Xperia Z1 L39H Metal Bumper. please do a review! the lip of the metal frame looks almost absent! I wonder if it would protect when the phone falls flat.

This amazon one is the exact same(minus the love me branding) as the Love Me bumper reviewed in the previous posts by SHEM, It doesnt look that well built nor does it look that great. :eek:
