I have this bumper installed on my z3 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Colored-Sof...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item234185f8fb

Its made of TPU plastic and provides nice grip. It also has a raised back so you can lay it flat on table without getting scratches. But it covers the magnetic charging port. Some pics -
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ebern220:
Has anyone been able to confirm if the case mate barely there and the dk48 are compatible? I like this style case since I had an otterbox commuter for my HTC One. Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Richie5767:
Has anyone tried getting the ringke clear case and adding it with a nilkin 9h tempered glass? I want to know if it the case would still fit.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Gobiastard:
Kewers just got aluminium bumper for Z3 out.

xxx.kewers.com/html/products/show.aspx?num=111 (x=w, since i can't post links yet)

I ordered one for Z2 and it is a perfect fit, arrived in 1 week. You have to put the product to basket through chinese pages, then change language to English. Colours from pull down menu: black, silver and purple. I used Google Translate to figure those out (China -> English).
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Damented:
That's a lot of money for a case. I could buy 2 more z3s
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Gobiastard:
You realise those aren't brave and free American dollars? It is New Taiwan dollar, NTD. There should be prices with NTD and $.

Case cost me about 80€ with Finnish VAT.

Leather Cases

As someone who despises book style cases, there is a severe lack of just leather back cases. Anyone know of any good ones? I literally can't find one.

Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit Case for Sony Xperia Z3

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MO9LTW8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Best case ever for those who want a slim and streamlined case that has minimal impact on the Z3's overall appearance. All ports are left opened for access, with the exception of the memory/sim card slot on the right side of the phone (the least used port of all). The opening for the magnetic connector is perfect and I have no issues with the connectivity of the connector and the magnetic port. Case fits snug and has the android graphic on the back, which is a welcomed addition so that the case does not slip out of your hands. The rubber feel is perfect (which I prefer over metal cases/bumpers). I can't wait to order different colors! The teal color is going to be amazing! Wish they had a yellow one though. But looks like the red, blue, teal, and purple are a go for me! Also, the front of the case has a slightly raised bumper, so that you can place your phone upside down without fear of scratching the front display. Only drawback with this case (and those with a raised bumper) is that dust does tend to collect near the sides. No biggie, just wipe it off. Not sure how the case will fit with an added Spigen scratch resistant glass, but someone stated you can actually take off Sony's display (which I didn't know you can do) and play another manufacturer's glass on top.

Nice, I went with the ringke fusion cause it has opening for the dual sim version.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] enfurno:

For those that are after better protection, spoke to Trident support who state they are working on a Z3 case.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] enfurno:
Just ordered a fitbag myself. The more I hold this thing the less I want to case it..
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Smokingkid:
I'm really interested in this! you mean an Aegis case like the one for Z2?

I'm trying and struggling to find a rugged case that is Magnetic Cable compatible BUT NOT DOCK COMPATIBLE (that means that you can use the magnetic cable but the side is still protected)

Casemate Tough Case just left ALL of the magnetic port side uncovered (useless if you want protection and don't have a dock)

Incipio DualPro case is coming november but no images to check

I would really hope Urban Armor Gear will catch up and make a case for Z3 but I higly doubt it.

Did I miss something?
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Smokingkid:
UPDATE: they actually replied to me about that and they said there is no case in development :crying: how is it possible?

Good afternoon xxxx

Thank you for your interest in our Trident Case products! We do not have any

plans for that as of yet, but could possibly have a design in the future. I

would suggest that you keep checking our website or follow our social media

for updates since we constantly update our project schedule. Thank you. Have

a great day!

Case Mate Tough and Glass Screen Protector

Any word on if the Case Mate Tough works with a Glass Screen Protector on it? Didn't want to Quote the big a$$ pics!! :)

I just received the RoxFit book case touch today (The one with a all screen window). It's really nice - I can see myself be using the phone through the windows most of my day actually (For call's emails and texts). Its not super slim, but not at all bulky either :)

I'm quite happy so far :)

[Xperia Z3 Accessories] mklpickle:
Just ordered the slim tough case in gold. Also have this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O153TGC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

arriving tomorrow.

My Orzly glass screen is gonna take a while to get here from the UK, but will post pics of each as they arrive.

Also have this case coming when it's available: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OPW1SD2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hoping my magnetic charger comes soon too so I can review if it fits with each case.

I'm thinking I might have an issue!! :)
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] dsf767:
I got the ringland fusion case and its alright but not great.

http://www.amazon.com/Xperia-Z3-Cas...qid=1414632619&sr=1-2&keywords=Xperia+Z3+case

I think I am going to get the black/siliver SLIM TOUGH CASE from casemate when its in stock.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] lin013190:
I have the ringke smoke black one as well it's alright.. It looks kinda cheap..

'm looking for the slim tough case gold when it comes in stock.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] NiggZ:
I purchased the same waiting for it to arrive still .. dissapointed :( do you have the nilkin tempered glass on yours ? and does the case fit okay if so
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] dsf767:
I do have the Nilkin tempered glass and the case fits fine.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ChristianBale:
The only quality cases I have seen are the ones by case mate, and those are all out of stock. Hopefully there will be more of a selection within the next few weeks. My Z3 seems to fragile without a case.

Anyways, I'm located in the US, what is the best way for me to get a Case Mate Tough for my Z3?
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ridearoundsolo:
Good thing I didn't one right now then lol, I was worried that it would look cheap that's why I keep backing out of placing an order
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] dsf767:
Its not the worst thing in the world it is better then nothing until I can get something better from case-mate
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ChristianBale:
Do we know if Spigen is making any cases? And how long it'll be before there are some more reliable case options in the US?
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ridearoundsolo:
Yeah that would be nice to have options from them, they just have the basic screen protector right now so I'm assuming there will be more stuff from them
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] dsf767:
FYI to all the Gold/Black Slim Tough case is in stock with case-mate USA, I wanted to silver but got the gold because it was In Stock now. I will put some pictures up when I get it.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] lin013190:
agreed. im waiting for better cases to come out.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ChristianBale:
1940

Ordered the Gold as well. I really wanted the Silver or just the Tough, but I need a case and who knows when those will be back in stock.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] dsf767:
I didn't want the tough due to the fact it leaves the whole left side unprotected, I was also looked at the naked tough but in that case for what ever reason they decided to cover the magnetic change connector which I use. I think the slim tough is their best Z3 case, I think I will like the gold just would have preferred the silver.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ChristianBale:
Good points. I'm interested to see what the grip is like with the case because that is the main reason I'm getting it. I'm also hoping that there is a bit of a lip on the case so that the phone isn't sitting on the screen if I put it face down.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] mario999:
No reply from Twitter or Facebook, so I guess not at this stage.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ridearoundsolo:
Would you mind posting any pics?
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ChristianBale:
My Case-Mate Tough Slim that I ordered earlier today has shipped. Hopefully it'll get here next week.

Chinese Ebay aluminum bumper:
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] viking2.0:
I am thinking of getting this as well. It looks good. is the back part raised so that the phone doesn't touch the table when laid flat on its back? And how is the grip is it slippery when you hold the sides? Can you also post a link to ebay if possible. thanks in advance
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] megacrazy:
Yeah it fits quite well. I was surprised. It has small lips on the front and the back. The grip is good and the little corner next to the camera button makes holding the phone and taking pics much easier. Overall pretty good especially for the price. I got 3 more cases coming in :)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/371159283805
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] viking2.0:
Thanks again. One more question do you have to press the power and volume buttons hard to make them work?
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] dsf767:
Mine has shipped as well, I am excited to get my hands on it as it does look like a very nice case.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] megacrazy:
No problem. The power button is about the same. The volume is actually easier because it's more raised.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] dsf767:
I can take some when I get home but in all honesty it is just a cheap TPU case that is better then nothing. I cant wait to get my slim tough next week that looks to be a great case.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ChristianBale:
You and me both!
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] dbmil:
Thanks for the pics.

I had already ordered one of those, just waiting for it to arrive. In fact I'm still waiting for my Z3 to arrive. HA!

Are you using a screen protector?

I wonder if there is a bumper that allows use of the magnetic port?
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] monomojao:
This is really nice. going to order one now.

My Case-Mate slim tough Case will be here Monday I am excited!
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ShermCraig:
I like everything about the Cruzelite but for the silly patterns! Why can't they offer just a plane/solid back? Perhaps they do and I've missed it?
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] jamieroquai:
I think that protuberance is to close the case around he phone.

it seems there is one model of Chinese aluminium bumper where you "slide" a back part on the bumper to make it fit and this model that has a protuberance to close it. Probably also so that you can but a strap on it I guess.

Until I see some of the people here posting a bit more pictures with reviews of those aluminium bumpers I'll go with this

Seems pretty sleek and not tho thick

http://www.ebay.fr/itm/400794726490
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ShermCraig:
Yeah, you're right - I noticed after I had posted the question that there are close-up pics. That is how it clasps together. Anyway, I like the one you posted, and this one: http://www.amazon.com/Xperia-Z3-Case-Friendly-Packaging/dp/B00OY9DVAE/ref=sr_1_15?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1414705044&sr=1-15&keywords=Sony+Z3+bumper

It's between those two for me....
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] viking2.0:
I didn't using a screen protector that comes with that case and actually threw it away. Ordered another SP after getting horrible fingerprints on the screen.

As for the magnetic ports the aluminium bumpers posted in this thread have that port open
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ridearoundsolo:
Okay sounds cool, just a front and back pic is good enough for me
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] liltitiz:
Got my cruzerlite bugdroid Clear smoke
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ChristianBale:
I would have ordered that as a temporary case if it wasn't for the big android on the back. I feel that the design is unneeded.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] jamieroquai:
I gotta agree on that, really don't know why they didn't make on with the droid and one without to give customers the choice.

For my personal taste the droid is a bit too geek [emoji6]
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] megacrazy:
So I got the other version of the Chinese aluminum bumpers (without the edge on the bottom right) and I don't like it as much. It's the version with the back part that slides in place. It's a lot more bulbous as the first one and the buttons don't work as well. I can post pics if anyone is interested.

BTW the edge is where the whole thing locks in place. It's basically one solid piece with a clip in that corner to lock it.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] jamieroquai:
Thanks for that useful information mate
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] liltitiz:
Cruzerlite bugdroid smoke clear.

All buttons and ports uncovered except for sim/sd card port.

Gives a really nice look with the copper Z3 :D
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] liltitiz:
Personally I like the android design on the back. It gives a good look with the copper Z3. But i agree that it's not the case to get if you want to keep the sleek natural look of the z3.

But it is also a temporary case until i find a more drop proof one. Like the ballistic cases, but unfortunately they are not planning on making a case for the z3 :(
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] liltitiz:
http://www.oppomart.com/sony-z3/sinyco-shockproof-tpu-flexible-case-for-sony-xperia-z3.html

I might get one if those case since I'm the guy who always drop is phone :o
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ChristianBale:
That looks nice! And especially good price as well. Really pulling for Spigen to make some cases soon though. They did a great job with the Nexus 5.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] wutsup:
please post the pic. that would be great. I was considering both of those metal bumpers found on ebay.

how is the protection? do you think it would survive a drop on the sides or corners? and how much does it raise the phone on the back and front from a flat surface? thanks!

i can post pictures of my clear ringke fusion case soon if anyone wants.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] viking2.0:
Yes i want to see some pics as well. Thinking of buying the one you got instead of the other metal bumper case. How is the grip on the sides. I know its aluminium but still is it very slippery to hold.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] figo_rulz11:
Hi, apologies I haven't been on lately.

Yes I currently am using a Nilkin H+ tempered glass screen protector and will, it was quite a pain to get it to align but it does fit. Mine still isn't perfect as t he case towers off the front screen as protection but with slight tweaks here and there you can fit it perfectly with the case mate case I have ;)
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ridearoundsolo:
Yea please I would truly appreciate it
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ChristianBale:
I got my Case-Mate Slim Tough today and put a review up here: http://xdaforums.com/z3/accessories/zperia-z3-case-mate-slim-tough-review-t2925481
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] megacrazy:
Well here come some pictures. Roxfit case and the 2 bumpers from ebay. I think the Roxfit case is the highest quality and will probably stick with it for a while.

The buttons on the bumper that has the sliding part on the back are a lot more recessed and harder to use. It's also a lot thicker than the other one. I don't like it as much.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] sunoryjim:
Just got the Ringke Fusion in Smoke Black. It's a pretty decent cover for $10. Corner protection looks very good, as do front and back "lips" on the case that isolate the phone from direct contact with flat surfaces. The cutout for the magnetic port looks sufficient to accommodate a magnetic dock (don't have mine yet to test). The covers over the power, volume, and shutter buttons are pliable enough to allow easy actuation. I like the plug over the headphone jack (less worry about picket lint getting jammed in there over time).

From looks alone, I'd say this falls under the "above minimalist" category as far as phone cases go. Think of it as a midpoint between a Barely There Slim and a Tech21 case. I'm confident it will easily protect the phone against waist-level drops, but a little leery about Wii-remote style flings across the room. ;)
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ridearoundsolo:
Pics? Lol I just want to see how it looks on phone so I can possibly get one
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] dsf767:
Here you go, like I said its not great by any means and makes the phone feel cheap, personalty I don't think it's anything better then just a temporary case

http://imgur.com/a/AvMCD#0
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ShermCraig:
I think this looks pretty decent actually. The rubberized material (based on the pic where you pull it away) seems like a winner to me since its appearance would seem to imply that it's a hard plastic! I may have to take the plunge (waterproof pun intended)!! :highfive:
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] dsf767:
The spot where I pull it away is a super weak point to the case its like nothing to pull away. Like I said not the worst case I have used by any means I would give it a 5.5/10.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ShermCraig:
So, it's not a rubber-ish case, but rather hard plastic?
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] dsf767:
No it is rubber-ish but I feel over time everything will strech out a bit on the case, and it is not the most tight fitting case. If I ever were to drop it I would not be surprised to see the phone come out of the case. There is just something about it I don't like personalty.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ShermCraig:

[Xperia Z3 Accessories] romeo57:
It seems easily stretchable. I'm considering between Ringke case and Case-Mate Tough Naked case http://www.case-mate.co.uk/smartph...ugh-naked-case-for-sony-xperia-z3-clear.html .
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Smokingkid:
Some new Incipio's cases for Z3 appeared on their website, i can't post link because i'm on a new account, just google "incipio z3" and look for their official site
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] nick-1988:
Dualpro seems amazing. I hope there is a cut around the magnet. By the way, on YouTube there's a video of the same case for z2.. in the video the case is very easy to put and remove with no force. so, with or without cut, it will not a big problem I think
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] 3Shirts:
I've been contacted by a company selling some pretty nice and very tough looking bumper cases:

http://www.lovemeicases.com/love-mei-powerful-bumper-for-xperia-z3/

The website text is a little off but I suspect they are not native English speakers so that's forgiveable. Some copy pasta has gone on as it says Note 4 in places! I am hoping to get hold of one to test shortly so I'll let you know what it's like. Certainly look pretty rugged.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] nick-1988:
It's very big IMHO...
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] 3Shirts:
Yeah, I think it's designed for use during fairly extreme activities. Probably wouldn't use it all the time.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Smokingkid:
There aren't photos of the magnetic side, but i think it's gonna be covered...not a big deal it's a very nice case!

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

That's exactly what i was looking for!!!! I really need a rugged case for work, instant order for me, I will post a review as soon as I get it! thanks :)
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ridearoundsolo:
Ah finally, well I'll be picking up a dual pro when it launches
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ridearoundsolo:
I went ahead and got the cruzerlite red and got same day shipping because I need something now, hopefully the incipio line is out soon, but now I need a glass screen protector that's case friendly
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] dsf767:
Once released I will be for sure picking up the incipio DualPro unless it covers up the mag connector. I guess one of the down sides to haveing the dual sim Z3 is that my case options are even more limited. I do use the mag connector just because of this. I don't care what the microUSB cutout is as long as the mag can still be used.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Smokingkid:
to be honest after inspecting the images I don't think that the magport is gonna be free..... I think just because the actual case height on the side is gonna make impossible to use a mag adapter (if you search for them you will se that all the magnetic adaptor and cables avalaible for xperias uses a "side"design that makes impossible to use ad adapter if the case has too much height)
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] nick-1988:
good thinking, man. Anyway, if the case is like the same one for z2, I think is not very difficult to put in and pull out the phone from the dualpro. To, remove the case every night for recharge the z3 should not be boring. Anyway, it could be an idea cutting the polycarbonate exterior and the soft interior around the magnet, without any difficulties. (the polycarbonate it seems non very hard)
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Smokingkid:
Yeah cutting it could be a solution, but would you really "damage" a 25 bucks cover for it? I think the only way would be remove the case or just use the normal usb port... flap is thiny but if handled with care it should not break easily

Anyway I'm going full rugged with a Lovemei case :D
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] nick-1988:
Why not :) I mean, ok the case has its cost but... nevermind XD then you could have a personalized case... the right thing to show at pub with friends " ehi guys, look at my new cover... do you see this cut around the magnetic port? yeah! I did that by myself!" wuaaaaaaah standing ovation, even the granny who's passing in front of the pub ahahahahahah XD

So man, are you going to buy that? your z3 will become the strongest phone ever... even stronger than nokia 3310 XD
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Smokingkid:
Yes I did order the rugged Lovemei case, unfortunately that's the only option for a lifeproof Z3 out there and probably will be the only one....

Reviews for other devices are kinda mixed (but there are a lot of fake ones) so I'm gonna try it and if it sucks I will fall back on an Incipio one:)
