Very Impressive drop test.

I wonder how many pledges they need for a new Z3C Project and if it would be a 6 month wait ?

Unable to leave message without donating.

Would like to see how long to receive and if they are interested.

Great for Z3C because with two screen protectors -we can let the back glass show .

My vote would be to cover all the flaps except the magnetic port.

ALSO they may need to cover everything for structural

Integrity- you pop off the Bumper to charge etc.

Fine with me-due to more fragile glass I would like to see Bumper protrude up from screen a bit more.

I am Interested ,Yes ! But will need something quick !
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] TimAhKin:
I would buy this too.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] biochoker:
I am certainly interested in this, hopefully they will release one for the Z3C soon after the iPhone models

Guys, posting here that "you would like this too" accomplishes nothing.

If you want to see this made, email them at info@evolutivelabs.com, they're recording the number of requests they get.

That's great news !
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] hmsdh:
Hurray i got a reply and they are considering.. haha

I though I'll be happy as long as there is a cutout for the magnetic charging port and the headphones, guys if you really want his email them and give your comments.

We have started to look into designing a Z3C crash guard bumper and like to know user's opinions. Please help advise!

Designing for Z3C is slightly tricky than other phone, due to the waterproof flap covers for the charging port and SD card.They may be no way to get around this, which means users have to remove the bumper every time when charge. Crash guard has a snugly fit, so frequent removal of the case is not a problem. However we are concerning about the usability side. Would this bumper still work if you have to remove the case every time you want to charge?

Let us know your thought and any suggestions are welcome.

Cheers

I got the same message and replied with the following. Thoughts? :
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] King p1n:
"Most" charge with the magnetic cable? Where did you get this information from, I'd suspect 'most' charge with the micro USB. Why? Because it's provided in the box with the phone.

I suspect the magnetic port will be covered also.

I got a similar email off them today I wouldn't mind taking of the case to charge tbh
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] rworwo:
Got the same answer too

I reply :
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] adamk7:
Valid point, I just posted a poll here out of curiosity: http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/poll-charger-type-primarily-plan-using-t2924262

From the comments here however, it sounds like most would like to have a cut out for just the magnet. If that's not possible, that's too bad but not a deal breaker at all.

I think we can all agree that we wouldn't like a cut out for the usb flap though.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Dsteppa:
You really wont get a good overview with your poll, most people here at XDA are above average users, while people that don't care about modding, etc might just use the Micro USB port.

Good news:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] hmsdh:
guys start pre-ordering!

Based on you and other users' suggestions, we have confirmed the bumper for Sony Z3C is able to leave all I/O port uncovered including charging part, headphone jack and microphone except for the flap cover. In order to kick off the production, we have to collect at least 1,400 pre-orders of the bumper for Z3C.

Therefore, we have made a Pre-Order page: http://www.evolutivelabs.com/pages/crashguard-sony-z3-compact
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] adamk7:
Pre-ordered :)

Spread the word guys!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] wikitiki:
Oh snaps z3c community! We did it almost! Maybe if OP sees this he can update the first post before the link gets buried.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] icyrev:
Really interested in ordering this bumper , but wondering if there will be a cutout in the bottom part for the "cord" holder as i currently wear the z3c around the neck. :)

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] kopsis:
My pre-order is in -- and I don't even have the phone yet :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] FANdroid:
I ordered one today. I prefer all flaps covered and only the magnetic charging pins are left uncovered. I have both the sony dock and 2 magnector adapters.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] dagispyromanen:
Awesome!

I ordered one and tipped my friends as soon as I got the mail. Really hope that they get enough sales to be able to put this into production.

Regarding the decision to cover the flaps for SD/micro-usb, I can only applaud them. I would never have been interested in a case that left those sections of the phone exposed. It's almost 20% of the area around the sides and for the sake of keeping this phone waterproof, I can't condone opening and closing the flimsy flaps every time for charging. Hopefully even the average user gets this and at least purchases a magnetic adapter.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] 2mal16:
ordering two tomorrow. I believe i will get rid of one(the one with the uglier color) quite fast again ;)

Awesome contribution , thanks to the OP!

This might have been asked before but why is the Pre-Order price $25 when the same case for the I-Phone Kickstarter is $19?

I just ordered the crash guard today ..

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Dsteppa:
The iSheep bumpers are actually 15 GBP, when confirming your country you have to pay an additional 3 GBP shipping cost. Shipping cost is already included in the 25$

15 GBP equals 24$ more or less (Depends what rate you use)

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] developernot:
One more pre-ordered. Seems nice :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Dsteppa:
Yeah, but for example we hit 800, I doubt they will cancel it only because we didn't reach their goal, it would be bad if they disappointed so many people even tho they didn't reach their goal.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] kujo716:
I ordered 3 but the longer I think about this, I think that it might just be a good money making tool for them... they take our deposits immediately and the commitment to make the product is very far away (and has a rather high target)

further, they haven't really advertised it and I cant even find a link on their site to the product at all. the only way I found out about this product was because I had been following this forum! i dont know how any random person looking to buy the case would even know about it unless they specifically searched for the exact product.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] adamk7:
I emailed them about this very issue.

They replied: "Regarding to the page, there's no space to put the link temporarily. We're working for a new website now and that will show the both products more clearly!"
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Dsteppa:
I posted a comment regarding the same issue on their kickstarter page for the iSheep phones, they could just make an update (news) for the Z3C bumper there, but they just ignored my comment.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Issemann:
I prefer the same. Is this the only case that covers all of the flaps??? :confused:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Dsteppa:
This is NOT a case, it's a bumper.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] NakedGun:
According to the manufacture it is.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Dsteppa:
It doesn't really matter.

If the president calls a basketball a football, you won't call a basketball a football either. (Just an example)

In the end for most of us a bumper is something that only protects the edges of a device, while a case generally covers the back/front (both sides) and the edges.

Edit:

In other news, I still find it pretty disturbing that Evolutivelabs doesn't mention the Z3C bumper anywhere on their site, how the hell do you want to sell your product that way. Saying that you don't have space on your website for a simple url is just pure bs. If we don't reach the goal I actually won't even mind it looking at the effort they are doing to promote their product.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] xerophyll:
well on the other hand i guess they have their hands full currently since the kickstarter for the iphone bumpers just finished and has production has just started? :silly:

anyway i have a bad feeling that the z3c bumper wont make it to the target..but i wonder if the excess funding from the iphone bumper kickstarter project can be channeled to the z3c project instead... :confused:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] neugenusis:
Excess funding is considered to be extra profit. The Rhinoshield crew created this goal for the Z3C to see if this can be significantly profitable. If the goal can't be met, there's no way they would waste profit on something unprofitable.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] cyphomatic:
They should at least make a preview on the design if they want to reach the goal.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] MrZippo:
I am dropping out and cancelling my pre order due to me returning my Z3 compact due to a problem with one of the flaps that keep popping out.

I am "upgrading" to the Z3 instead. :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] hmsdh:
Weather you drop out or not ultimately everyone will be dropped as only 200+ have pre paid. like everyone said for some reason they don't advertise this as for the iPhone i guess. :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] King p1n:
I don't think you guys will be reaching the target
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] :
Yep, annoyed about this just a little. They arent even making an effort to advertise this. Also I have noticed that the time left has dropped massively from 30~ days to 14~ days.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] cflow:
Agreed. Couldn't find the Z3 compact page at all from their site. Really want this to be my go-to case.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] pipspeak:
Maybe it's deliberate on their part after deciding they didn't want to go ahead with the project at all. I can't think why else a company would let a fundraiser die like this.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] stradevarius:
You can access the bumper page through the screen protector page http://www.evolutivelabs.com/collec...s/screen-protector-for-sony-xperia-z3-compact
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] adamk7:
Wow talk about advertising space!

I emailed them about it... again.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] wooki:
Excuse my bad English but as the OP I have to admit I feel a bit cheated.

This is of course my personal opinion but:

- When writing on kickstarter I got chat slang answers with a small rude undertone.

- Their z3c goals are very high compared to the iPhone and how they support this preorder period with not fixing the countdown in the first weeks.

Well it all gives me one conclusion: this company is build by young guys who sell products in a premium price segment and they don't seem to take us the "money giving" customers serious. I'm not sure anymore if supporting them in the first place was clever at the moment.

Their screen protectors are good and the best I ever had but for a really high price. I'm not sure if their bumper is going to be worth it..

///Edit:

Oh and btw. they wanted to publish a rendering after 14 days, this at last was claimed on the website..

///Edit 2:

Wow 10 minutes after my edit the 3d renders appeared. So lets forget about this downside :D

Checking their website I only see one other preorder crash guard bumper page (for the Nexus 6)

http://www.evolutivelabs.com/pages/crashguard-google-nexus6

They want to expand their line of bumpers as seen from the above quote. The Z3c is handily in the lead with preorders and they might go ahead and make them just to diversify. Fingers crossed.

EDIT- OnePlusOne has quite a few preorders

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] FSRBIKER:
I posted this in the Cases thread also:

If Rhinoshield isn't promoting this on social media like Twitter, Facebook Google + on an almost daily basis then they lack the very basics in marketing, it's very possible they have NO marketing team or experience and running things like they are are bound to fail. The simple fact that these campaigns are not front & center on their homepage and you need to dig and dig to try to find any information or links is ludicrous. If you want your company to be successful by launching new products then you need to make the public aware of them. They should be contacting EVERY Android/Tech blog/website/etc and making them aware of the products in research and about to launch, they haven't even visited the Crash Guard thread which is amazing considering I bet 90%+ of the pre-orders have probably come from XDA.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] 2mal16:
Just as an update and for ppl to see which havent ordered the bumper. Got this email yesterday.

Thanks for the support and pre-order, I am the Product developer at Evolutive Labs. I am the one responsible for designing Crash Guard for the Oneplus one and sony Z3C campaign.

Just wanted to update on the progress. We are a bit more than halfway though the pre-ordering campaign. At this moment, we only have less than 250/1400 pre-orders.

We brought the phone and 3D scan the actual phone. It did took us a little bit longer to design the bumper for Z3C due to the weak points around the flap area. We are still running some calculation and model to see if we could optimize the design further.

Here is the first look of the bumpers

http://www.evolutivelabs.com/blogs/news/15830813-rhino-shield-crash-guard-z3-compact-renders

The bumpers would have the same slim design like the iPhone 5. We have also ensure the magnetic charging port and headphone jack are fully accessible. Our calculation indicate the bumper would provide similar protection to our iPhone 5 and 6 bumper case.

in terms of marketing, We are planning to send out another email to everyone (which hopefully would add another 200 to 300 people) who bought Rhino Shield Z3C screen protector from our site.

p.s. Excuse for any typo or grammatical error, English isn’t my first Language

Let us know if you have any questions. Really hope you guys like the bumpers! Most important hope the project get funded!

Many thanks!

Evolutive labs

Maybe the hopeful addition of 200-300 ppl actually will make the production possible while still not meeting the goal. Lets wait and see... ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] sh4d0wf0x:
im really interesting in this bumper case.. but the marketing sucks.. why they don't promote the bumper in the facebook fanpages or online shopping pages, like amazon, ebay, etc... as a preorder to try to get the goal faster.. im still undecided about a set a preorder or not.. because i dont have a stimate date of the bumper production
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] 2mal16:
Preorder one and buy some cheap protection in the meantime . The preorders are basically the determinig factor for production and if you think it is a good idea, why not?

According to the website manufacturing should take 45 days + shippment after the preorder goal is reached. The preorder goal is supposed to run out in around 10 days (i think they dont accurately update the number) . But maybe they will add some time if not enough products are ordered by that day, given that they just released the renders and will start to spread the word to former customers of them (see email) . So i will give the whole project 2-3 months. Either you will have an awesome bumper by that time or you will get your money back.

If the bumper is not produced you will certainly get your money back, either voluntarily or by paypal ;). Although I dont suspect them of being a fishy company, but safe is safe :).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] CollinsJ:
Render seems to hide the camera button.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] stradevarius:
So if you guys really want this case made, I'd post some comments on high view count Sony Xpheria Z3C youtube videos. I posted probably 10 comments on some of the highest viewed videos, let's hope it helps. It only took about five minutes.

The reason why I did this is i'm tired of always having a subpar, unaesthetic case on my phone, like those commonly manufactured for phones outside of the Apple and Samsung lineages (because of low market penetration). Plus I really like bumpers!

I posted this comment - If you have a Sony Xpheria Z3C and want the best protection for your phone check out these cases from EVO Labs and pre-order! http://www.evolutivelabs.com/pages/crashguard-sony-z3-compact﻿ (make sure to correct for the ... that appears in compact)

- I'm not affiliated with the company I just want this case to be made!
