Just ordered a glass screen protector for this phone, I bought the nillkin l39u version offf ebay for like $14.95, it will ship here within 2 weeks because the l39u is from china so the screen protector is also in china and shipping from china, i'll report back on how it fits, (if i remember to :p) The reason i got the l39u version is because the sensors are on the right and the camera is on the left like ours.

I just ordered the tempered glass one from aliexpress. I'm not familiar with that site, I hope I don't get ripped off. Anyone order from there before, are they legit? Thanks.

I just got my nillkin tempered glass, will be writing a report on it right now :o

http://www.amazon.com/VicTsing-Magn...id=1402950859&sr=8-1&keywords=xperia+z1s+dock

Has anyone used that? Does it work with Z1s? Also, do these generic docks work ok or will it damage the phone?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] gqukyo:
From what I understand, if the dock works for the Z1, it'll work for the Z1s as the connectors are the same. I'm looking for a dock too but need one that'll work w/ a case (nillkin).
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] E11even-E11even:
Does anyone know if removing the stock screen protector on the Z1s gets rid of the Sony logo like on the normal Z1 model?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] gqukyo:
Not sure about that but if you remove the film, you void warranty so as long as you're aware of that.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] E11even-E11even:
Yeah I'm aware. I just wanted to know.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] LaosPerson:
No it doesn't remove the sony logo, I removed mine then installed a glass screen protector, and actually it responds to touch much better then before, could be a placebo effect i dunno
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] E11even-E11even:
Dammit. Wanted to remove the logo. Oh well.

Gave my beautiful wife my white Z1 after I brought a Purple one.

1st week, she dropped the phone and the metal frame got some corners broken out on the upper side, not normal I almost got a heart attack :).

3rd week, she dropped it again and the display cracked but I had a Nillkin 9H tempered glass on the front so thanks to this great screen protector the display itself survived the fall, woman and phones is like woman driven a car(Not all of them ofcourse, like 10%) :))).
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] LaosPerson:
You should of bought her the Z1 Compact since it's easier to hold because it's much smaller
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] id3alistic:
So I bought the dock, and it works, buuuuut if I just place it on the magnetic points lightly, it won't charge. I have to press the phone down on it first before it'll start charging.

Is that how it's suppose to be? Anyone using an official sony one?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] gqukyo:
I have the official OEM Sony mag connector and the magnet is very light and isn't strong at all. Just a little movement and it'll get out of alignment and or pull off and stop charging. I can only assume that they use the same magnet on their official OEM dock.

I just got my z1S.. The c6916.

I find that the Sound Enhancements on this phone, especially when using the ClearAudio + is phenomenal!

I came from a Xperia Z. Trust me this new Z1s is a big upgrade.

I use around the ear Sony head phones. The sound is almost like surround sound when using the ClearAudio+ feature. Nice deep bass. The sound is so good that I sometimes thing someone is behind me making noises. I have to look around to see if anybody is really there.

I was using viper4android on the Xperia Z I had but now, I dont need it. The Z1s comes with all the sound enhancements I need!

These headphones are my recommendation for when exercising.

[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Izam2k2:
Sorry for bumping but I recently upgraded to the Z1S after T-Mobile changed its bands leaving my HTC Sensation on mobile dialup. Overall I'm super happy with the decision, but I'm looking for a case similar to my old Ballistic as I can be a doofus at times. Really like the Love Mei but wanted to know if other users had tried or if there are better options like the Hybrid H Armor. Lack of headphone jack and magnetic charging are not deal breakers, thank you for any suggestions.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] TracerBullitt:
Would you say this protector is better than InvisiShield?

Also, I finally got to see the device in person and am kinda disappointed in the faux aluminum sides. Worried the paint will come off or something. I kinda like the case at Tmo with the kickstand, but not the price. I like the aluminum one you showed, but would LOVE one for this Z1s...
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] chrisram88:
I got the body glove case from tmobile and even tho I like It the top coating started to fall off. The corners are already worn... Pretty lame for the price. Anyone else see the wear?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] TracerBullitt:
Is that the one with the kickstand?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] chrisram88:
Yea
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] TracerBullitt:
Dammit, I just went into Tmo today to look at the phone and definitely feel I'll want a case to protect the ...plastic. I wanted that case specifically, too. After seeing it, I felt it wouldn't hurt to pay almost $30, even though I only paid 8 for my current Z's. But now this is making me want to wait a bit.

As a mail carrier, a case for this phone is a must. The one I have now is starting to look like ish, even though its only dropped once or twice. I'd be really upset to spend 4x the cost for a case, just to have it fade from moderate use within, what, weeks?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] chrisram88:
Yea pretty much, a week. I will post pics tomorrow of where the wear is at. Mostly at the bottom of the case were it makes contact with the inside of your pocket. I looked for it online and saw another review on Amazon with the same problem. I mean it's no biggie but yeah for 30 and for it to look like that so soon, I say wait cuz its a waste of money. I'ma try to get it changed at tmo. The dude is cool with me and lol.

What screen protector did you get, if any? The guy at Tmo had an InvisiShield or whatever and swore by it. It looked like it had a bit of an orange peel look to it, definitely not as clear as the glass one I have for my Z.

None, once I saw the case and the price I was like Nahhhh.

my only issue with the tech 21 is it isnt a solid back its just a bumper with a piece of plastic in it.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Ibkevin:
Darn I got the blue body glove case and I'm having the same issue! Starting to peel away already and I've only had the case there days! Ive barely even used it yet! Going to exchange it tonight!
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] earlyberd:
I bought a car cradle made for the Z1, and it just arrived today. It's a bit cheaper than the official Sony cradle.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H2IG0PW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

However, since the Z1S is slightly larger than the original Z1, I had to trim away a few millimeters of plastic to get it to fit. The nice thing is that the frame that holds the phone is removable. Personally I couldn't get the vent mount to grip to my car vents properly, so I pulled off the frame and glued it to a Mountek CD player cradle.

I have a magnetic charging cable on the way that I'm going to attach to the cradle with some Sugru. I'll shoot provide some photos of that once it's finished.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] chrisram88:
Not this one. This is solid. It's the impact tactical.

Sent from my C6916
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] drksilenc:
yea that is nice. I liked the clear plastic one instead.

[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Tidbits:
From what Sony website says they are the same...

http://www.sonymobile.com/us/products/phones/xperia-z1s/features/#design

It says :

Combine your Xperia Z1S with the smart Magnetic Charging Dock DK31 and enjoy a truly smooth connection. Place your Xperia Z1S in the dock, and the magnet steers the phone’s cleverly designed charging port to the dock’s connector. Thanks to magnetic pins, you don’t need to fiddle with any ports in order to charge. And while your phone is charging you can check and write messages, or why not enjoy a movie – all from a comfortable viewing angle
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Ibkevin:
So I returned my blue bodyglove case last night and got the clear-ish Tech 21 case instead. It's not too bad. It fits the phone nice, not too too much bulk added. My only complaint with this one that I noticed so far is the power and volume buttons aren't the easiest to press. This may get better over time once the case breaks in a bit, only time will tell that. The only other thing is, as already mentioned, the back is just a floating piece of plastic, separate from the case itself. The case is really more of a bumper without this piece. I'm thinking of maybe trying the case as a bumper, without the back piece. This would leave the back of my phone exposed but I don't like how because of the natural suction of the plastic back piece sticking to the glass back of the phone, it makes these oily looking spots that are very unattractive. I'll try n post a pic of what I'm talking about.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] yodaddyleo:
So has anyone actually tried it?

Just got my z1s yesterday. LOVE the phone, but extremely prone to finger smudges and afraid to even put it on a desk b/c it may get scratched as I pick it up. Ordered the following case yesterday: http://www.pure-gear.com/hard-shell-case-for-sony-xperia-z1s.html Will report back once I use it for a few days (use code Pure25 for 25% off)

Also wondering if this would work with the phone: http://www.meritline.com/usb-charge...ource=fghdac&gclid=COSE8v-iobwCFeZ7QgodASEA8A

I feel like the least I use that flap for the charger port, the better chances of it being waterproof. Speaking of... anyone dunk their phone yet?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] randaddy:
Using the magnetic charging port seems to be the preferred way to charge the phone around here. That Pure Gear case looks good, except it covers the magnetic charging port. I've emailed to see if they plan to release one with the port open. Seems like it would be a great case otherwise.

Took my Z1s in the shower last night, no issues. Its nice to be able to clean the phone so easily!
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] yodaddyleo:
Which magnetic port dongle are you using? Any specific one you recommend getting?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] trovatrice:
Has ANYone had success getting their Z1s to charge to 100% using ANY type of magnetic cable or dock yet? If so please mention how you did it, which model, and how long it took. Thank you!
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] yodaddyleo:
bad news fellas... chatted with customer support this morning:

Leo: Can I use the same accessories on the z1s that offered for the z1? Or what dock/magnetic charger can I use for the z1s?

Agent David: Thank you. The Z1 uses the DK-31 charging dock, The Z1s uses a different charging dock, I believe the 52

Agent David: The configuration or placement of the charging ports vary from one to the other

Leo: Are you sure the z1 charger won't work on the z1s?

Agent David: Yes, the layout is different
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] trovatrice:
Thanks for calling them! From what I can SEE and measure, the "layout" isn't the only problem... (It fits, does click in, and shows that it's charging). I suspect that it has something to do with the different (bigger?) battery that T-Mobile spec'ed... ??? The battery also wakes the phone up from its sleep state when the USB cable reaches 100% (annoying in the middle of the night).

Maybe it's a problem with the SW that they can eventually fix with an update? (Did you hear the voice of the eternal optimist? :p )
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] randaddy:
I'll be ordering this cable since there's positive reviews for the Z1s.

http://amzn.com/B00G25UXSQ

I find it hard to believe that the Z1 mag cable would work while the DK-31 wouldn't, since the dock is just a phone holder with a cutout for the mag cable.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] trovatrice:
That's the one I ordered (according to the amazon page) Your mileage may vary, but it didn't work for me. (BTW, the cable should point to the bottom of the phone). If you get it to fully charge your phone, please let us know!
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] earlyberd:
I received a DK31 dock today and used it to charge my Z1s from 75% to 100%, no errors from what I could see. It took about a half hour, and was fairly quick from 75% to 95%, then slowed down significantly when going from 95% to 100%.

One thing to note is that it wouldn't charge when I hooked it up to a powered USB hub. I then used the USB port on the charger for my Vaio laptop, and that worked just fine. This appears to be consistent with a lot of other reports about the cable being very picky about the charger. I'll test it again later tonight with the USB charger that was included with the phone.

Got it from Amazon, seller "SHOPEBEST".
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] trovatrice:
This is encouraging news! If you have a chance, could you also include some info about the vaio charger? (Thanks)
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] chrisram88:
nice find guys! will definitely check these products out! yea the only problem i have with the tech 21 case is that it also covers the dock port.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Appogee:
So, I got my Xtremeguard in, I've never used Invisishield but if you've ever used Skinomi, it feels fairly similar. Hard to describe. You definitely feel the screen protector, it feels different than the Sony one. The fit is ok but for the price (less than $2) and both a screen and body protector I'm not complaining. It's roughly 3 days shipping with the cheapest shipping option.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] earlyberd:
It's just the stock AC adapter that came with my Vaio Pro 13. There are a number of Vaio laptops these days that include a USB port on the power brick. Here's a link to the product page for mine. It's not listed on the page, but I believe it outputs about 1.0A to the USB port.

And to update my previous post, the Sony USB charging adapter that came with the Z1s works great with the magnetic dock as well. It seemed to charge a bit faster from 95% to 100% than the Vaio charger, but I didn't pay much attention to it while it was charging this last time.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] trovatrice:
Thanks for the details! I had tried my cables w/ the Sony oem plug too, but still had no luck. I'm beginning to think I may have a defective battery. Last night, after adding the t-mo body glove case, I got the battery overheating, not charging error message again... the infinite boot loops, etc. I let it cool down, reset it, and restarted it, but now that it's fully charged, it's waking itself every few minutes again. Your info was very helpful.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Tidbits:
I called Sony Xperia line and asked questions... The Z1S dock is DK32. Not sure if there is a difference or not, and it hasn't been released yet.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] trovatrice:
When I did a search for the dk32 I noticed that there several mentions of it for use with the Z1 "compact" (mini) from European/UK sites. At one point just before the launch of the t-mo Z1s, there was confusion about the model numbers. (Lots of people seemed to think that t-mo was going to launch the smaller one)... Lots of the listings for cases, etc are still using the wrong # for that compact model

Maybe the person you spoke to was confused??? or maybe not... It's probably safer to confirm the C6916 model number to avoid that lingering confusing.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Tidbits:
I contacted Sony, and not T-Mobile or any other company. They "should" know about their products.

You could try calling and see if you get a different reply.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] randaddy:
I think your Sony rep was misinformed.

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/magnetic-charging-dock-dk32/

Product page clearly states the DK32 is for the Z1 Compact, it even shows a Z1 Compact docked in it.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Tidbits:
I am going by what 3 different reps told me. The DK32 is official for the Z1S.

Also who's to say the Z1 compact and the Z1S don't use the same dock. Remember the Global site makes 0 mention of the Z1S and the United States site makes no mention of the compact.

I will side with the reps however I won't buy anything until I actually see something more concrete either way.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] earlyberd:
Sony sells the DK32 as a separate dock for the Compact because it's about 1mm thicker than the Z1 and Z1s. There's also a separate DK30 dock for the Z Ultra because it's 2mm thinner than the Z1 and Z1s.

Many people have already taken apart all three of these docks and found that they use the exact same cable, it's just different housings to fit the different thicknesses of the devices.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] trovatrice:
For what it's worth, here is a recap of the dimensions of the three phones in question (courtesy of http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5753&idPhone2=5596 )

Z1: original 144.0 x 74.0 x

8.5mm

Z1S (t-mob) 145.7 x 73.9 x

8.6mm

Z1 compact 127.0 x 64.9 x

9.5mm

If the DK32 slot is wider to accommodate the thicker compact, it might be a better fit... (everything else being equal?)

[earlyberd types faster :p ]

[UPDATE] I had had trouble with two docks and two magnetic cables... and other battery related quirks. Finally called T-Mobile yesterday and asked for a new phone. They don't have them for a swap yet, so I had BUY a second one, and will be returning the first one under the buyer's remorse program (which will be refunded).

Received the new one today (which I will admit is why I waited for the t-mo house model) and after setting it up all over again, am happy to report that both of the dock cables and the stand alone magnetic cables are working, and when it reaches 100%, it stays asleep! w00t! Still need to make some index card shims so that it fits into the DK31 docks with the t-mo body glove case on... but I'm a happy camper now.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] scoobdude:
Dk31 works for me on Z1s
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] cbv1062:
Dock and case

So I called the Sony store and asked if the Magnetic Charging Dock for Xperia Z1 model number DK31, and the incipio feather case model se244im would work/fit the Z1s. I asked three times and she said yes. Well I received both items in that mail and the case is fantastic. It is super thin and durable, but it does not fit. The back microphone hole is also in the wrong spot. Now the dock works perfectly, and I highly recommend it. I have had no issues with the dock.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] dakunclear:
The dk30 dock will work they have two adapters for size change so if you're ultra has a case I know cause I could only find the dk30 months ago so that's what I bought it my z1 up here in Canada.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Lancerz:
Anyone found any good cases that come with a belt clip for the Z1s yet? I've been using Seidio cases for the past 6 years and they don't have a case for the Z1s so I'm kind of lost lol.
