I bought the Devilcase bumper case, and imo it's the best protection out there for this phone.

Bundle this with a tempered glass for both front and back and that's it.

It's damn expensive but it's worth it

I want this. I almost got it but i read that the aluminum would cause signal degredation. sure wish case-mate made one - they had a great case for the z3 compact.

I just bought a devilcase from aliexpress. Will post things about it whenever I get it. In the meantime I primed this and should get that sunday.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] tempurastyle:
I can confirm the Nillkin case is awesome. It's very slim, nice to grip and protects all corners. Although it doesnt protect the screen when the phone is lying face down, a screen protector will do it. It's the best slim case I could find so far.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] enjoimadcow:
got my devil case in. Thing is definitely solid; built like a tank. Power button is kinda a pain to get to but it's not terrible.

Hey, are you getting any signal strength loss? I did when I tried Devilcase on Compact Z3. If I recall it was a good 2 bars lower with the metal case on it. Well built case I must admit for protection
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] delvirtud:
Love that case, however I use a magnetic mount in my car and do not want to glue a metal strip on the back of the actual phone. I wished they made the Devilcase with a back. :(
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] enjoimadcow:
It dropped like a bar I believe. I've been meaning to take the case back off and compare signal strength but I've been busy as of late and haven't had time
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] enjoimadcow:
alright i finally got a moment to test this for you. I had 2 bars on my signal strength sitting at my desk. upon removing the case i still had 2 bars. I didn't get all technical with frequency and what not just because I really dont know what I would be looking at. Hope this helps!

I was almost about to say why don't you just have the phone offset on the mount and let the devil case hold on. I then realized it is made of aluminum and is not magnetic. not sure of a solution for you man =/

My red Devilcase came in today. 5 day delivery from Taiwan to SF ?

The power button can be a bit challenging at first. Overall, I'm impressed. No added bulk. I was a little worried the headphone jack hole wouldn't fit my headphones but it did.

Since it's a hassle to get a good sized screen protector I cut a zag shield screen protector for protection in the front and back.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] HigginsHere:
Another Nillkin Frosted case owner here. I bought it from their website. It just came in the mail and it's a lot better than I expected. It looks tackier online than in person. The sides provide great grip and the back has a nice, subtle textured feel. It's super slim, adding very little to the phone's profile and doesn't take much away from the phone's looks. The only downsides are that there is barely any lip to protect the phone's screen from drops or tables, and that the power button is a little too recessed for my liking. It's also not very protective in general, but if you're looking for an ultra slim, grippy case, you're not gonna get that. Once better glass screen protectors are made (current ones all seem to suffer from one thing or another), the lack of a lip won't be as big of a deal and I'll be very satisfied with this case. Oh and I also would have preferred the top and bottom covered, rather than the open style the case has, but generally I really like it. Was worth the wait and money! Recommended.

edit: p.s. they throw in a free screen protector. I don't know how good it is, but it's nice to have.

Pictures. I have a G Color hybrid glass screen protector on.

Hi,

I’ve been following this thread for some time. I tried several of the cases mentioned here but none were totally ok by me. Some were too slippery, others didn’t have raised edges to protect the screen and others didn’t have cut holes for the volume and camera buttons.

I’ve finally found one that meets my requirements:

http: //amazon.es/gp/product/B01MZXQKFI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It has a nice smooth feel, raised edges, cut holes for all buttons and it’s semi transparent which makes the phone stand out instead of the case.

I bought the black and the white (semi transparent) versions of this case. I have the white sony x compact and found that the white case looks nicer (but that is just my opinion).

The white version looks darker in the amazon page. here are some of mine (sorry for the quality, i used my old moto g):

Nice Cheap Silicone Case

I bought this simple silicone case in black. It's great. Really low-key, good quality, protects the phone nicely and all the buttons and ports are easy to access - including the fingerprint scanner. Amazing for £3.50 and I didn't even have to wait for it to be delivered from China! :) I'm not going to bother posting photos here as it matches the auction photos exactly.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] volcolm:
(Edited -- wrong thread post, corrected)

Just bought an X Compact after pricematching, so now will need a good case to follow. Thinking of grabbing one of these Kepuch case/cover (Nillkin case with cover).

I'm otherwise not worried about installing a screen protector, unless the screen scratches as easily as Huawei devices (no "gorilla glass") :eek:
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] tempurastyle:
Unless you take out your phone and clean it every day, I don't recommend using a silicone case on the X compact. Dust easily gets trapped between the case and the phone and since the case is flexible, it moves and rubs the dust on the phone.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] volcolm:
Got the Kepuch Sparkle today. It's actually a Nilkin flip case, although it didn't have a pen included (was a little disappointed when it arrived in the mail).

The case is easier to grip than the phone itself, while the cover has a minute bit more. I'd like it to be more grippy, but not like the rubber on the Otterbox cases (theirs would cause falls from pocket removal, as it would get stuck). The XC detects the cover and it turns off as it's closed. The power button requires a little extra push with the case on, but the fingerprint sensor is fairly sensitive so no issues (this made me realize you don't actually have to apply pressure to the sensor to unlock - so I've been using it wrong :laugh: ).

The plastic goes above the exposed glass by ~2mm (I used a straight edge to check) so there's still protection there if it hits along one of the face edges.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] volcolm:
The bottom of the case, that's not dust, but scratches.

I pulled it off to see how well (or unwell) it was doing against debris in my pocket, due to my workplace requiring it on my person for photographic evidence for receiving products. It doesn't hold up so well against foreign material.

Life pro tip: If your workplace tries to coax you into using your own devices for work, get them to buy you a new device for work instead (and refuse to use your own). I'm very tempted to share this with head office, and a little cheesed at the workplace over it.

I had removed the "smart cover" part because it seemed it would contribute to scratches on the screen (which there are some micro-abrasions, would probably see them on camera, but I figured it was worth showing the worst of the damage here).
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] kekistaneerefugee:
That is because you used a hard case. Every hard case will do this to a phone.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] MissyVixen:
Disclaimer : I think tpu cases for phones are more for style than protection. About 5 years ago they were maybe 2 mil thick and actually protected the devices. See my cowon j3 and it's protector as the first attachment.

The tpu cases are all exceedingly thin for the Sony devices, I attribute this to the upmarket image created by the Vaio laptop line. I purchased a few like the amzer pudding which looked worn before using it, and a generic kw mobile case that's paper-thin. Don't get me wrong, it's a sexy case that looks great, but it offers no protection. I don't think it would even protect it in a pocket or purse.

If you want actual protection of the device from more than light scuffs you need a hybrid style case. I ordered a DwayBox heavy duty armor case from Amazon for about 6 USD. The front is tpu and quite stiff with raised lips around the perimeter to keep the screen nice. The back is hard cheap plastic, but the color is in plastic itself : not a dye or paint. It's an insanely good fit (better than any otterbox I've had).

** it had harsh mold lines around the power button and the headphone jack was too small to fit normal "stereo monitor" style plugs. Sanded these smoother /larger with a fingernail file.

**as the back is hard plastic, I took the shipping xperia logoed screen protector and placed it on the back of the phone to keep it from getting scuffed by the case.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] kwstas 13:
are the volume buttons and the camera one easy to press or they need quite a lot of pressure, with the case you attached?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] MissyVixen:
You don't have to worry about accidental presses, but I don't find them overly difficult. It does not impede their function in my mind. My unit had pretty stiff buttons to start with.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] kwstas 13:
I was about to buy yours, but I changed my mind and ordered this one. I have to say it saved my phones from 2 heavy drops (one 1.40 metres that fell with back and the other 1 metre with the screen towards the floor). I wouldn't believe it would have survived the drops and was scared to death. My only objection to this case is the fact that i find kind of stiff to press the volume buttons, and the camera one is just not comfortable since it requires quite much pressure and the image gets shaky if I try to use the button.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] volcolm:
No, you're wrong (but correct about the case), but this is literally from debris.

_____________

The visor on the sensor/LED lens is also scratched up. It'd get mucked up with or without a protector in my specific use case (using it for work). The photo makes it look worse than it really is, doesn't affect anything and the case has been abused at least 5 times from 1.5m drops. Ought to have augmented it with film or something but that's my fault (this is the only way it'd not get scratched). Amazingly the camera lens and fingerprint sensor are fine for now.

Those soft silicone cases don't do anything either. If you want proof I can show the back of my Huawei Ascend Mate 2. Dust still eventually gets inside those 2-layer cases also (my Note 2 had so much crap behind it a year later after using an Otterbox). No way around it.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] rjglenn:
I bought and started using a Love Mei case about a week ago. This thing is ridiculously huge but very protective. You can look at one here:

http://www.lovemeicasebuy.com/love-mei-powerful-sony-xperia-x-compact-protective-case-p-483.html

I had one on my Z5C and due to the aluminum shell it really hurt the rf signal but so far I haven't experienced that with this one. Couple of downsides...

I have a compact phone because its compact and easily fits in my pocket. This ends that, it makes it bigger that my Nexus 6p.

It is heavy.

Still its the best protection you can probably buy for these, probably too much, really. Oh yeah, they're cheaper on eBay & Amazon, but they have to come from China and that will take a couple of weeks.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] Dark_Horse:
What I conclude after having read through all six pages is that there's still no decent case that will prevent the back of the X Compact from getting scratched. Wondering whether I should bother getting one or just go for a skin to cover the back.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] delvirtud:
Got this case as it was recommended by someone in this thread a little over a year ago. The case is a little scratched, but when I take it off, the back of my phone is flawless. No scratches at all. http://a.co/7a25igQ
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] SANGER_A2:
What was the screen protector that came with it like? Plastic I assume. Was it the super soft floppy plastic or rigid? Did it have adhesive over the whole screen protector or just the edges?

Thanks

Andy
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] delvirtud:
Honestly, I do not remember. All I can remember about the screen protector was that it was crap. I removed it after about 1 day. I typically do not use a screen protector. My screen is flawless too.

I like the case though. Besides a few scratches, it has held up quite well after a year.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] Dark_Horse:
Thanks buddy. A bit difficult to get the Top Ace kit in the UK, can't seem to find it anywhere. It looks an awful lot like the Nillkin / Kepuch frosted shield (https://tinyurl.com/ydc2h36z), wonder if it's the same case.

---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 PM ----------

Anyone tried the official Sony Touch SCTF20 case? It has a clear cover so by using NFC, you can operate the phone with the cover closed.

Sony also does a similar case SCSF20 without the clear cover. Reviews for both are largely positive but quite a few say the plastic tabs holding the phone snapped off or the quality is not up the Sony standard.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] delvirtud:
I looked back earlier in this thread and this "Topace" is a quality knockoff of the Nillkin/Kepuch case you link above.

Cheers.

[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] hongseong:
I'm using the touch cover case (albeit it's really degraded now) and it's actually nicely fitted, has raised bumps so you can tell where the volume rocker and shutter buttons are, and it has a more substantial right side hook which covers everything except for about 5 mm on either side of the power button. Compare that to the style cover case which has less material securing the case to the right side of the phone. It's basically a harder plastic backbone with a softer polymer outer coating which gives it rigidity but also a nice surface to hold. The inner part that faces the back of the phone has some felt-line lining which I assume is to mitigate scratches to the back. Anecdotally, I've dropped this thing on concrete getting out of a car several times and it's protected the phone flawlessly (I am also using a screen protector, if that matters).

Unfortunately, the front cover part is glued onto the rest of the case on the left side and starts about 10 mm on the back and wraps around the left. I sorta figured it would fail at some point, and after 8 months of using it, it finally started coming apart. I tried epoxying it back together, but I guess I didn't prep the surface right so it was a very temporary solution. I eventually just allowed the front cover to fall off completely, and a couple of months later the TPU-like coating on the left side just delaminated completely. I suspect it was all the stress and strain caused by placing it in and out of my pocket since the TPU coating is really soft and catches on cloth pretty well.

I didn't use the touch cover function too often, since it wasn't as useful as I thought when I got it (imported from the UK). It did look pretty sweet though, and I've gotten compliments on it and the phone itself quite a few times! Overall, this case is awesome when it hasn't broken down. The cutouts and the fit is excellent, though I haven't tried too many other cases. I still use it since it still works as a case, but it looks just awful right now with half of it missing the TPU layer.

Lemme know if you have any more questions.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] Dark_Horse:
Yeah, looks like the same type of case, just a different name.

Thanks bud, that's really helpful. Your comments echo those of other reviews that the case is decent enough bot doesn't last long.

I'm thinking I might just ditch the X Compact and look elsewhere, maybe a HTC or Samsung. The Sony is just too fragile and doesn't have any decent glass screen protectors or cases. :mad:
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] SANGER_A2:
The problem with screen protectors not being available is the curved edges that most Samsungs also have. You either end up with a screen protector that's too small or one that fits and is rubbish. I've got one of the stupid soft screen protectors at the moment and I don't like it, but that's the best available unfortunately.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] Dark_Horse:
I'm thinking I might get a Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 which has a flat screen and is the same size as the Sony X Compact. The Samsung only has 16GB storage but that's fine for me and there are a lot more cases available. Camera on the A3 2017 is better too.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Hezzennater:
I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed their screen peeling off in one of the corners. The top sheet of glass is separating from the black/blue metal underneath making it look like a screen protector bubble. Rather than being in the middle though, it's on the top left corner, and appears to be getting worse. I tried pushing it back down and that did nothing to help, and appeared to make it worse. So I stopped touching it, but it has spread to the LED light and it's about 2/3 of the way down to the screen.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has had that problem and if anyone has any suggestions? I'm just a couple of weeks outside my warranty. I didn't drop it on that corner either. Verizon basically said they would do nothing because it's not 'an official bulletin' but Samsung said they would fix it, but it would be gone for about 12-14 business days. Verizon said they wouldn't do a loaner phone, but the guy told me off the record, they do have a 14 day return policy. But then there is a restocking fee.

Any suggestions? Anyone else have this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] bigtymeplayer85:
Yes this had happened to me after having their phone for like 2 months I called Verizon's stupid ass they blamed me saying it was my fault and that I have to pay for an insurance replacement that it was not a manufacturer defect which it was I was so very angry I will never buy a Samsung piece of **** again because now I'm stuck with a ****ty ass phone that I can't even root it's been out for a year now still no root but the Verizon Note 7 has already been rooted what the f***

I was having the LTE 4g+ issue on tmobile that some were reporting and found here [youtube]9CM4you_src[/youtube]. I tried everything but it wasn't until I went into network operators settings and manually selected T-Mobile and rebooted that the problem is non existent for the last 6 hours! The two screen shots are before and after the fix. I'm confident this was the problem and this phone was insane before but now it's even better!

Edit:. Worth noting that my insane battery life of 7-8 hrs sot and 28-32 hour use has dropped to what a device like this should be getting meaning that the phone is truly running on real LTE 4g+ and not 3g which was obvious in the speed test results which is fine because the LTE reception and speeds on this thing are ridiculously fast.
