Apple-Style Case

Is anyone aware of an Apple-style case on the market?

I currently have an iPhone 5s with the official leather case, and it's transformed how I feel about cases. I used to think they ruined the way a phone looked and felt. Basically, I used to prefer mid range phones with no case, than top end phones with cases (assuming both have nice displays).

I purchased the official (silicon) case for my mums iPhone 6 Plus, and we were both very pleased with it. No flaps on the sides or 'empty' parts (except at the bottom, which is actually acceptable).

Does the Z3 have anything like this? A nice, high quality shell case that covers the whole phone (more or less) and doesn't make it massive in the hand? Leather preferably, but I'd even be okay with Silicon now.

I've listed what appears to be the best options available for the Xperia Z3 below and my thoughts on each (unfortunately, I had to remove links as I am a new user). Please let me know if I've missed something.

TRADITIONAL (Plastic / Gel / Etc):

Ringke Fusion

Notes: Probably the most popular case. Looks alright. Headphone jack plug isn't ideal for my purposes. Many complains about loose flaps near SD card

Cruzerlite

Notes: The shape looks great, but the 'bugdroid' logo on the back is not suitable for work purposes.

Case Mate Barely There

Note: Looks okay. Unfortunately, half the phone has been left open for ports.

Krussel

Notes: Same as above. Textured finish.

ALUMINIUM:

Kewers

Notes: Probably my favourite looking bumper. The Kewers logo on the side is a bit tacky, but the shape looks comfortable, and design seems very thin.

DevilCase

Notes: Second favourite. Extremely popular on XDA forums. Looks less comfortable to use one handed than the Kewers.

Deff Cleave

Notes: Bit of a monstrosity. Bottom right corner looks uncomfortable to hold.

GILD design

Notes: Open sides and pronounced corners look significantly less comfortable to hold than the Kewers or DevilCase designs. However I can see why some people would like.

LEATHER:

Bouletta

Notes: Leather looks exceptional. Unfortunately, so much of the phone itself has been left exposed.

Noreve

Notes: Again, leather looks great. Unfortunately does not come in shell style. Flip seems awkward after using phones without them for years

TEDDED

Notes: Similar to the bouletta in style, though I'd imagine the Bouletta leather would be better.

Tuff-Luv

Notes: Reveiws mention the leather is exceptional. Unfortunately only comes in a wallet style. Also, appears to use a button to close, instead of magnet.

It's a real shame that the Z3 doesn't have better options. Sony put in an extremely weak effort with the official SCR24 case, with the non-magnetised front flap really letting the whole package down. You'd think that with such a weak first party offering, that this would have provided a great opportunity for third parties to hit a home run on this front.

So many of these cases listed above seem to value function over form (leaving more than half the phone sides exposed). I mean, how often do you REALLY have to open the MicroSD card. And for those (very few) of you who do so every day, would it really be such a big deal to take the cover off when you do?

All that truly needs to be exposed are the charger ports and the headphone jack. Hell, I'd be super interested in a case which covered these, and I could simply take it out when charging (especially with the Z3 and it's exceptional battery life).

Personally, the reason I buy premium phones and not low/mid range phones is just as much for the style the provide as for the specs. I am yet to find a case I would be comfortable putting over an expensive, beautifully styled Xperia Z3. This is a real shame. Apple has the benefit of providing exceptional cases, along with the ability to simply walk into a store and exchange my phone for a new one if I break it. With the Sony, I'll likely end up with no case, and in the event that I break it, a much harder time in getting a new model.

Frustrating. Because I really want a Z3. I hope I'm missing something here on the case front.
