Unfortunately not too much as there's not much support on any front... accessories, root, bootloader... I'm thinking of selling mine too but not to get the Z2... no more new android phones for me until it has root... should've just gotten the Z1 compact instead...

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

Received my Pure Gear case and while nice, its not too grippy and it's almost the same as holding the phone w/o the case. A little more grippy than a naked Z1s but not by much. At the very least it'll have some drop protection though again not much... still beats a naked phone. It does support the lanyard loop if that's important to someone. It's also not exactly black, more along the lines of semi-dark shade of grey. All in all, not bad for $12 I guess.

Can you post pics?

Thanks! :)
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] gqukyo:
Taken w/ my work iPhone... yes blasphemy, I know... ;)
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] dragion:
Thanks! :cool:

Not sure, but it needs some sort of texture...very flat looking.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] gqukyo:
Yeah, it's slippery which I don't really like. I love the tech21 tactical case texture but most people don't like that. If the tech21 case didn't widen the phone so much, I would've kept using it. yeah I admit it, while I don't have small girly hands, I don't have b-ball player hands either... lol
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] shook187:
That case offers no protection on the top and bottom of the phone.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] gqukyo:
Correct, like all similar cases for various smartphones. It's not what I prefer but until there's another case that meets my criteria, it'll have to do. The phone's resale value is already dropped substantially with the upcoming release of the Z2 anyways... :rolleyes:

Received the Nikay Magnetic Charging Dock.

It works as advertised...if it had the SONY logo, it could pass as OEM.

Using the wider adapter fits the Xperia Z1s perfectly! :)

This is definitely an excellent alternative to the DK -31.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] driftmania:
I found the dock to be too light so I taped a 100g weight on it so I can just lift the phone off with ease without the dock being stuck to the phone.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] dragion:
Being light is one of the negative issues and your resolution is a very good idea.

I find myself just holding down the dock while lifting off the phone works, but adding some weight to the base of the dock sounds like something to do. :good:

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] KingFaisal:
I can confirm that any L39t case or accessory should work on the Z1s.

This just arrived and it fits fantastically. All major ports are acessible.

http://www.ipromarket.com/baseus-brocade-case-folio-stand-leather-case-for-sony-xperia-z1-l39t.html

I also ordered a magnetic charger

http://www.ebay.com/itm/39077287155...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I do not recommend any magnetic charger, but the ones shaped like the offical charger. The magnets are not strong enough to support the weight of the cable on an adapter.

As for screen protectors....

http://www.ebay.com/itm/231142209581?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

These fit and are a good value, however they are NOT oleophobic. Any recommendations for a good oleophobic screen protector (must be dry application). Is the iLLumiShield any good? Damn we really need some tempered glass in here!
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] evo9mrjr:
Ok i ordered both the screen protector you have up here plus the iLLumiShield and the iLLumiShield is way better it's a closer oem look and the screen had that great coating that fights finger prints and smudges. That ez guard is garbage In comparison.. Plus I just ordered eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=151241799240
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] gqukyo:
I'm surprised the L39t cases works as I thought the z1s was strictly a Tmo US exclusive. Can you up some pics of it with your phone installed?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] sgyee:
I don't have the DK-31. The Nikay dock works great, and I'm using it with both a Body Glove case and a modded Tech21 case (I cut out the spot for the magnetic charging port).
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] KingFaisal:
Here you go. This is an l39t case and the phone is a t-mobile Z1s.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Kanes_Inferno:
How fast does it charge the phone (say if the phone was around 15-20% when you hooked it up)? Also, I have a Skinomi screen protector on the front and back, would it still fit in? I'm debating on getting the official Sony one, I don't mind saving the money..that's always a bonus but I don't want to if it means the phone charging super slow.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] dragion:
Sorry, I'm unable to answer your questions directly since I don't have any experience regarding either situation.

All I can tell you is that charging times seems to be the same as with the micro USB via the SONY OEM AC charger...not sure about via USB.

I haven't allowed my battery to deplete down below 40% yet.

Since my Xperia Z1s is bare, it fits without any issue, but might work if a skin protector is installed...might be tight.

Maybe someone who has experience regarding these questions can provide a better definitive answer?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] _-..zKiLLA..-_:
Damn never thought a 10 dollar case would be that legit lol AND it fits. Gonna order one now thanks :)
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] E11even-E11even:
Besides the one case posted, has there been any luck finding cases that fit the 1s? In particular I'd like a metallic bumper case if anyone has happened to see one. I can't find anything anywhere.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] mikea29:
Best Case & Screen Protector

Being that there is not a plethora of cases available, I believe the best case is the Pure Gear case in black from WirelessGround I bought it and it was shipped across country from California to Virginia in 3 days via USPS:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC2OCYPUXfQ

Now I realize that this does not have protection on the top and bottom bezel, but I am not the type who drops his phone all the time. I bought it to prevent scratches on the back from picking up and setting down the phone. The case is rather minimal. I did not like the ones available through the TMobile Store. I though the bumper case was kind of ugly with the red/orange and the Tech 21 Impact case was too hefty. It made the phone seem huge.

As far as screen protectors, I got 3 for like 4 bucks from Illumishield that work good and are easy to install. They are anti glare, anti fingerprint, and scratch resistant. I dont even notice them on the phone.

---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

Have you had any issue with the dock? I ordered just the cable from Amazon from Nikay. It charges, which is good. The box I got said the charger was made for the Iphone. I just dont want the charger to zap my battery seeing that the battery is not swappable...and the battery is great ( I get over 24 hours use with 4+ hours screen time!)
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] KingFaisal:
There are only two flip cases available and both must be shipped from China. Both work with the magnetic charger.

There are a few hard-shell cases and some have a cut-out for the magnetic charger.

There are no (someone please correct me if I am wrong) tough cases unfortunately. T-Mobile has one, but it's garbage.

Sadly, there are no bumpers.

The Z1s has skins and screen protectors, so it isn't all bad. I'd like a tempered glass protector though.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] scooter1942:
Devil case has confirmed they are working on an aluminum bumper for the Z1s, and Clairvue may be working on a tempered protector, but I'm not sure.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] KingFaisal:
Are you sure. I know a guy on this thread said they were, but a few posts after that someone posted an e-mail transcript saying that they are only considering it.

EDIT: I just checked the Devilcase Facebook page. He said they are making a Z1s bumper, however on one post he referred to the Z1 Compact as the Z1s. Very confusing.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] scooter1942:
I posted on their Facebook page asking about it, so unless the person running it is misinformed, they are indeed making one
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] mariussilverwolf:
That case looks sexy, but the lack of a magnetic charging port opening is a deal breaker for me still. I want -- at the very least -- to be able to plug in the magnetic charging cable and never have to open the port flap for the USB port again.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] KingFaisal:
They've also called the Z1 compact the Z1s it's confusing.

Also, does anyone know of a magnetic charging cable that's longer than 1m?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] dragion:
So far so good...I have not experienced any issues.

The docks works as it should.

Since it isn't mobile and pretty much stationary, it does what it is designed to do...charges the Z1s. :good:

I ordered an USB magnetic charging cable from DX-BOX and compares to an official OEM USB charging cable if actually SONY sold one...it even has the SONY logo on it.

I use this to charge when my Z1s isn't being charged by the dock...like in the car or another room.

It has a very good magnetic hold and keeps contact unless physically removed from charging port...it won't "fall" off like other 3rd party cables.

The only negative about ordering this item from DX-BOX is that shipping can take between 3-4 weeks...I received mine just past the 3 weeks period.:(

http://dx-box.com/brand-new-magneti...dapter-for-sony-xperia-z1-xperia-z-ultra.html
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] KingFaisal:
That packaging certainly looks like the OEM one (sold abroad). If only it was more than 1m.... sigh
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] E11even-E11even:
I messaged Devilcase on Facebook and they said that they aren't sure about the T- Mobile Z1s, and that they very well may not make a case for it.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] KingFaisal:
Another flip case available guys.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/anki-GENUIN...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item3a8cef7a4f

Looks nice.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] E11even-E11even:
I really just want a bumper case. Something like the Devilcase or the LoveMei bumper. Hope they make something soon.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] cbv1062:
A great cover!

I am from Portland Oregon where Toast is located. I stopped by their shop and I was was able to purchase a front and back cover. Wonderful product. All covers are made in Oregon. Since the Z1s is water proof I asked about the covers getting wet because it is made of wood. They told me that all of the wood is sealed and if it gets wet it would not be a problem. Maybe not soak it in water they said. ;) They told me that the covers would be up for sale on the web site on Monday-ish. Pics

Their website http://toastmade.com/
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] E11even-E11even:
I'm from the Portland area myself, so I might check that out. Thank you.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] scoobdude:
There are a few more cases available on amazon now
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] cbv1062:
If you stop by it will look dark inside. Just ring the door bell and some one will come to the front. Or call ahead. The owner has the credit card thing. So if he is out you won't be able to pay that way.

Sent from Sony Xperia Z1s
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] E11even-E11even:
Alright, do they make the cases right there while you wait? And thanks for the information, man.

Scoobdude, are any of the new cases on Amazon bumpers?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] cbv1062:
They do make all of the covers in house. I am not sure if they have a tone of stock on the Z1s. I would give them a call first until the official launch. It does not take long for them to make a cover. I think most items are made when it is ordered. I think they open at 8:00am call them and I have no doubt that they will have one ready for you today.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] E11even-E11even:
Alrighty. I spoke with someone via e-mail and they said they'd have to wait for info on the Z1s case because the designer isn't in today and it's not an official item they sell yet, but it sounds like they'll still do it. I'm inquiring whether or not it'll fit on top of Ghost Armor right now, since I've ordered that as well.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] gqukyo:
While yours line up where the audio is, I looked at other L39t cases and found only one non flip book style. The pics that show the audio as being more towards the camera lens and not more towards the middle. Seems like a original Z1 case.

Here's the one: clear hard case
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] KingFaisal:
The picture looks right. It's supposed to be centered, but closer to the camera lens. I'm not 100% sure, but ebay has buyer protection. If you like the case I wouldn't hesitate. Any L39T case should fit.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] gqukyo:
Not fond of the case, I was only using that one as an example cuz of the model number, L39T.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] jmwils3:
Has anyone attempted to see if, since cases for the l39h seem to work, whether screen protector for it might work with the z1s as well??

Is this possible using a different upgrade program..... can you mix and match rom and ext like the other systems...

My s2 4g lte always restarts when i take photo with flash on i dont know the problem
[Nexus 5 General] RainMotorsports:
I just took the case off my Galaxy S2 and peeled back the Invisible Shield after 2 years and it looks pretty good. I spent 30 bucks on this rather horrible case which I will probably replace with a 10 dollar Spigen Hybrid which almost as bad atleast would protect the bottom front.

GS2 next to the Nexus 5:

I have never minded the original invisible shield. But I have to admit I never felt the GS2 screen before and the Nexus 5 feels great. I still can't go 3 years with no protection. Here is how horrible the screen protector looked after pulling it off mind you the color is skewed I forgot to fix in editing:

My 5 day later unboxing photo:

The only thing I have to say about going naked or not is how long do you plan on having the phone and do you work in an environment that will scratch or smash the phone on the first day? Ive had dozens of drops and I use the phone in an environment that would cause me to rub sand like substances across the screen. Until I get a protector I take my gloves off everytime I use the phone and it slows me down.
[Nexus 5 General] ickoicko:
Actually, I've been rocking all my phones naked until my last phone (S3). I was surprised that the lower right corner of the phone and the bottom part of the camera had scratches till I put a screen protector at the back. Prolly avail of the Spigen glass screen protector and might get a casing to partner it up with.
[Nexus 5 General] grizzlywan:
I used my Samsung Galaxy S3 for a year and a half naked. The screen didn't have a single scratch, but the plastic back plate looked like one giant scratch. I never once dropped the phone though so no physical damage. If I treat my Nexus 5 like I treated the S3 I think I will definitely be fine.
[Nexus 5 General] RainMotorsports:
Sadly I can't guarantee myself that I won't drop it. I am as careful with most of my equipment as I can be however things happen. I once kicked a 1,000 dollar camera body off a table lol. I don't consider myself accident prone and I don't drink... but occasionally things happen. Im lucky in that things usually don't break.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
My s3 took a couple of knocks around the bezel. I only got cases to hide them and the awful crack by the usb port.

I've just put the black titanium dbrand skin on back and sides and I feel confident that the same knocks wont cause damage

GS2

The Galaxy S2 had the most resilient screen of all the phones I have used till date...I used it without any protectors for 2 years before exchanging it for my N5...barely had a couple of scratches on the screen,the lower glossy part however got badly scratched from a hard tpu case I had used for a few months...used it naked ever since I took off the case..

I am actually a little worried about the the Ringke Slim case that I am currently using on my N5, I fear I will find the bumpers scratched when I finally take this case off...uninstallation is a bit of a hassle with this case..
[Nexus 5 General] scissors_cut_paper:
I think my gs2 was the most resilient phone I've had. Buried it on a pebble beach, skimmed it down tarmac roads, chucked it across rooms, and never put any protection of any sort on it. And I spent the last year of owning it using it on a building site. I wouldn't recommend doing any of these activities for the record. My n5 has been in a gel case since day one though, my friend had an n4 and a 2 inch drop was enough to break the screen, so I'm not taking any risks. Plus the s2 had free insurance, which may have swayed my behaviour.
[Nexus 5 General] thetonyclifton:
I am pretty careful with my stuff but I drop each phone at least a couple of times....I have had s few dent but no screen smashes. I would rather go screen protector only but a case gives a bit more piece of mind...although I do sometimes risk it anyway and go bare back [insert your own joke here].
[Nexus 5 General] Torethyr:
I had the GS2 on Sprint too! That was a great phone. Got it on release and lasted me until just 6 months ago when I changed carriers. Now I'll be going Nexus 5. We have a very similar upgrade path.

My GS2 is no where near as clean though. I used it naked and dropped it plenty of times. Once I spilled a whole mug of coffee right next to it. Had to pry it open and clean up the residue with isopropyl alcohol.

But no matter what that phone kept trucking. It was a great daily driver.
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
I'm coming from a release day sprint s2 as well lol. That phone was such a monster for its time that I didn't even feel the need to upgrade. I took that phone through hell and it took a beating. I even took it with me through the Sahara. I love that phone and I still have it. I got 2 black ones replaced due to the Phantom keypresses and the power button failure but the white one I fixed the power button myself.

This thread brings back memories. I LOVED my Epic 4G Touch, it is easily one of my all time favorite phones. I wish I still had it.
[Nexus 5 General] MustWarnothers:
I'm currently still using the Sprint GS2 currently, and I just had it replaced for a cracked screen. I got CM11 back up and running on it and then I realized it has the phantom capacitive button pressing problem when it's on 3G. It's so frustrating because I'll have to flash it back to stock, triangle-away the bootloader counter, bring it in to Sprint and have them get me another replacement because as per Asurion insurance, Sprint is where I'm supposed to bring it if it has problems not related to physical damage.

I've already bought a wireless charger with intentions of buying a Nexus 5 on a non-contract plan, I just haven't pulled the trigger. To those of you having upgraded from the Epic 4G Touch to the Nexus 5, was that upgrade a monster one?
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
Yeah I was blown away by everything. Only thing is that the speaker is lower and gets covered easily.
[Nexus 5 General] RainMotorsports:
Yes. While I was plenty happy to stay on my E4GT with the renewed CM efforts I was not happy to stay on sprint. Benchmark wise this thing blows away the E4GT in 3dmark suggesting the gaming performance for one is out of this world in comparison. In general use I don't know.

The screen has excellent viewing angles making me not at all regret switching from an AMOLED phone. Despite an LCD the battery life is phenomenal. I could hardly get 3 hours of screen on with the E4GT. I get 3 hours of screen on and 16 hours total easily with many people getting upwards of 6 hours screen on if you don't mind total run times falling a bit. Its only slightly bigger and with the general idea of DPI scaling the apps don't really show any more than they did on the E4GT sometimes you might not notice any issues having stayed behind on the older device.
