[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] civicsr2cool:
These aren't in any particular order but I've ordered quite a few case and haven't shared my experiences with y'all yet. I will be ordering more in the future as well, it's a shame there aren't many to choose from.

Ringke smoked: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0168YKR1I/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Currently my daily case. I like the overall design, has the best volume buttons out of all the cases I've tried and the area near the USB doesn't flex when pulling out of pocket. But the flaps over USB and headphone jack shouldn't have been a part of the design, I'll cut them off eventually. Also the fingerprint area isnt recessed near the front of the phone,only back. It just feels weird.

Overall 8/10 buy.

My favorite case, fitment is perfect, design is perfect, feel is perfect, I know it can stop multiple 5ft drops, and everyone comments on how cool it is. But.. It stinks, literally. It took two months for the smell to die down but is still noticeable. Also it has soaked in dye from my jeans and now has a blue tint around the edges. It has taken a few falls but didn't survive them well, there are multiple tears on the face around the bezel and the area around the USB has stretched from taking it in and out of pocket.

Leather back:

Ordered this just out of curiosity, it doesn't cover the top and bottom of the phone so it's not really usable. Button area is too thick as well. Inside of case is nice though, probably wouldn't scratch the phone up much.

Leather back with card holder/kickstand: http://www.ebay.com/itm/182003544055?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Same problems as above but with kickstand/card holder. Buttons have no tactile feel.

I wanted this to work for me, but power button area isnt even accessible. You have to dig your nail in to hit it.. It feels cheap, it is cheap, and it looks cheap. stay away from this one.

Metal bumper case with back:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/321836440766?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

The best in-hand feeling case I've tried. Power button area is a bit deep though and the case doesn't fit well with the dimensions of the phone. It's about a 2 or 3 mm gap around the entire bezel and allows the phone to "float" around in it. I want to give a few more metal cases a try because of the feeling though.

Overall 5/10

High gloss tpu case:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/121801711534?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

This case has stipling along the side that feel awesome, other than that it has nothing going for it. Around the USB stretched out within a day of use and it developed a few punctures through the tpu just from setting it down on the table. Wouldn't trust it to protect my phone.

Overall 3/10

DoCoMo case:

https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/aw/d/B017N99DSU/ref=oh_aui_i_sh_in_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I was and am still on a search for a case that will help gripping the phone one handed, this looked like it might fit the bill but didn't. It's a beautiful design, fits the phone well, and the power button is completely exposed which is nice. But the frosted back is slippery and the edges pushed it further out of my hand rather than let me grip it. It also made a larger print in my pocket which the phone is nearly too big for as is.
