Caseology Vault Case Xperia 5 II

TPU constructed 1-piece protective case

Excellent feel in the hand. Three different textures to provide grip even in wet conditions but will not prevent rapid and easy access from any pocket. The sides have a very fine sandpaper-like texture while the back has a coarser texture. The top quardrant around the rear camera has a diagonal fine lined texture.

Weighs around 207g including phone and tempered glass screen protector. This case appears lighter than it actually weighs

Appears to provide good shock resistance with corners well protected

Design of the front has a protective lip around the screen and allows you to place the phone display side down without damage. The design of the rear protects the camera module and allows it to rest on a surface without any wobble

Excellent resistance to smudges and fingerprints. Easy to clean

All cutouts are perfect. Large USB-C opening and large headphone jack cutout are noted

Shutter release button is smooth but actuation point is slightly vague. Volume rocker has good feedback and short throw

Discrete Caseology logo present on rear bottom of case

Lanyard outlets present on the bottom left side of case

WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, and cellular signals are not affected by using this case

Purchased from Amazon Canada for $15.99 CDN including shipping

Fairly priced from a prominant case manufacturer

I would recommend this case

To be clear...is this or is it not real carbon fibre?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] Federico Bonomo:
This are made with Aramid Fiber "Kevlar" the same used on bulletproof jacket.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] viperc:
To update on the item. They have indeed fixed the misaligned cutout. The carbon fiber case is excellent. Feels very premium and does not add any weight to the phone. Received my case in one week. Very fast shipping. Will update with picture on the cutout when i get the chance. Thanks @TJ446 for the review.

That is a sharp dressed Xperia 5 II. I am relieved that the seller took suggestions to heart! ;)
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] ryanjsoo:
Thanks for the update, is this still the YTF case? I've noticed there are a few carbon case sellers for the Xperia 5 II on aliexpress, a link would be much appreciated!
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] Federico Bonomo:
Hi, I bought it from this.

SELLER: YTF-Carbon Global Store

[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] viperc:
Yes, the YTF case. Same link as what @Federico Bonomo provided.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] homerlovesbeer:

[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] ryanjsoo:
Thanks you!

[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] pec0ra:
I first used a transparent silicon case similar to the one on the second post of this thread. I was very disappointed by the feeling of the camera button. It was very difficult to "half press" it for the focus.

Now I ordered a YTF carbon case and I am happy with it. It is not as grippy as the silicon case but good enough to not slip out of your hand or pocket. Shipping was fast. 9 days to Switzerland.

The silicon case still seems like it would protect the phone better in case of hits or fall so I'll probably keep it for use when doing outdoor sports. Note that this might just be an impression, I could unfortunately not test it.

Attached to this post are the weight of these two cases (11g and 15g). The 4 grams difference are probably not something you will feel in your hand. The grip/softness of the silicon and the hardness of the carbon is the biggest difference you can feel in the hand.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] homerlovesbeer:
Yep. Sorry for the delay!
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] zippo7kyller:
This is my experience:

-Caseology Cover: by far the best I’ve found on Amazon ITA, the cover fits very well with the smartphone and seems that can protect it very well. No malus to mention

-Spigen Glass: very easy to install and precise. It has a black band around the glass that is not necessary at all. Could be to hide the exterior bubble (just my opinion, with the black band I can’t see anything behind it, there’s no bubble coming out from the black).

I’m facing minor responsive problems on the side part of the smartphone.

Not good but it’s better than any other glass I’ve seen
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] frostitomik:
I have bad news about the phone. I have been using the Caseology case for 3 months now and just found out that it scratches the phone. Dust particles get stuck in the gaps and they make a lot of tiny scratches around the edges of the phone. This has been caused by normal indoor use (no extreme conditions) and the problem may be caused by the hardness of the case and/or the softness of the phone paint finish.

In my opinion, if they actually used a simple plastic for the edges, it would probably do better. Painted metal can sometimes not the best material, especially on phones.

It is not a big deal as the scratches are barely noticeable, but they are there.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] Finneri:
This is the same problem with 80% of all the cases and 80% of all the phones 😄 just remove and clean the case every day.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] frostitomik:
Yeah, you're right. I didn't think this would happen and I actually kept it in the case all the time to prevent scratches. Lesson learnt.

BTW, the metal part of the phone now has about 100 tiny little scratches while the small plastic cover of the SIM card tray has no scratches at all...
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] Biggenz:
I've just gotten one of these. It's by far the best case I've tried. Really grippy and protects the phone from all angles without adding a load of bulk.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] MrN1484:
Another happy YTF carbon customer here, took about 10 days from Aliexpress which was a lot quicker than I expected and no duty/vat to pay.

I was using this one before, which was fine but it bulked up the phone and made the buttons really stiff. I don't doubt it offers better protection than the Carbon though!
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] jreme100:
Just got the 5 ii and am now searching the world of cases. Are you still happy with the Devilcase three months in? Just curious how its fared when/if you've dropped the phone at all and how bad the dust in the back has been.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] Cptnfruitloops:
Where did you find it? I cant find it on sonys website or amazon. Its like this phone doesnt even exist
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] scdoyle:
Ordered at mobilefun canada site. Looks like it's still available.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] Cptnfruitloops:
Thanks. Cost is 50 CAD / 40 USD if anyone is wondering.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] gerhardo:
How did this case hold up?

What is the weight?

In my old phone (Moto X4), I had my creditcard in the case (IMAKCASE). Not perfect but I can live with it.

The KSQ is one of the few I have seen with a dedicated pocket.

The Imak Airbag http://www.imakcase.com/imak-shock-...ersion-for-sony-xperia-5-ii20-2009_p2959.html (also seem to be known as Crystal Pro https://teknikhallen.se/sony-xperia-5-ii-imak-crystal-pro-skal-skarmskydd), seem flexible but a clear case will go yellow over time. (The dark variant is harder to find.)

The Caseology seem a little stiffer and may not fit (as well as being too close to a screen protector?).

Spigen Rugged Armour https://www.spigen.com/collections/...5-ii-case-rugged-armor?variant=32671672401967 seem similar to the Caseology, except bulkier.

All these seem to be around 30 g. A little too much to my liking, but that is a cost of protection.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] ConstruKctor:
The Caseology case has a very good fit and is just flexible enough to not make it too difficult to put it on the phone. It didn't interfere with my screen protector, but it did add more bulk than I liked to the phone. It definitely protects the phone though, so it's a matter of preference/priorities
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] TJ446:
I've only dropped it from my bedside night table down to a hardwood floor. Perhaps a little over a metre in distance. That's not a good indication but that's not really an issue for this type of case.

Dust/lint is an issue for most clear backed cases. Static electricity draws particles. I don't have another clear case on the XP5ii to compare it to, but it's just something people should be aware of.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] jdilla1987:
I only used it for a few days so I can't really talk on durability of the case. I swap between cases probably more than the average person. I can say that the materials are probably not the best of quality so if you're rough on your phone, I wouldn't recommend it. As for the weight, I don't have a small enough scale to get a precise measurement, but it doesn't add much weight at all. Lighter than it looks for sure.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] gerhardo:
Amazon.se

+ Slim case, only adds 25 g. 198g on the scales with 10g screen protector.

+1,3 mm slimmer than Caseology Vault - you can feel this

+ Protected in the corners and a good lip at the camera, where it matters.

+ Easy to put on/take off. I keep my debit card in the case, works fine.

+ Buttons work fine.

- Clear case will go yellow (regardless if it is UV protected).

- Fingerprint magnet, dust on the inside will be seen.

- Debit card is visible.

- Lips on the front are not much higher than the screen protector.

It feels a little like handling the phone without a case, except that I do not expect to drop it constantly.

The Imak Airbag case is quite similar but 5-10g heavier.

I also got a Caseology, already reviewed here.

+ Much nicer texture holding. Can handle the debit card.

- Feel bulkier though (both width and depth adds over a mm).

- 8 g heavier than Peakally, 205g with screen protector.

- Less protection in corners, more protection where it matters less on the sides and the back. Also not much protection around the camera lens.

- Front lip is quite high. It is hard to do a side sweep (back) with the case and a screen protector.

For my old Moto X4 I had a similar Imak case, except that it was less bulky, a lip on the back and much thinner.

Also see the unique Galaxy A3-2016 case. Light and protecting well, most ports are accessible. The design is not great though, it seem like a quick and dirty hack. Extremely good value.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] Cptnfruitloops:
Caseology vault or spigen rugged armor?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] Cptnfruitloops:
I got the spigen and its quite good. Already dropped from pocket height onto the road and it bounced across the road couple times but no damage to phone or case. It would have been smashed if it wasnt for the case. Speakers sound good and are not covered. Cutouts are good. Lip around screen and camera for protection. Slimmer and lighter than caseology (i dont have one). Side sense works fine. Cant comment on screen protector because I refuse to use one. Only problem is camera button and while not unuseable, it is not a pleasure to use like without the case. Also made in Korea.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] gerhardo:
What is the weight and width of the case?

(why not throw in hey he too. )

The spigen looked like it was thicker at least but I found no numbers.

I much prefer the Peakally case over the caseology due to the width. Two mm makes a difference.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] Cptnfruitloops:
Dimensions are

2.85 x 6.36 x 0.44 inches

50 grams
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] Schaduw9:
My two favourite case:

TPU-PU leather cover*​

*I used a more generic name because i found the same cover with different names both on other amazon and aliexpress.

soft and slim

very light (about 24 grams)

back camera module is protected

cutouts areperfect, the power button in particular feel very comforable

All other buttons are covered, pheraps the camera ones is a little bit too spongy

NOT so much grippy as I like, but it has the holes for a lanyard so it can compensate a little.

I feel the protective glass a little bit exposed with this cover.

Overall I like the color and the texture feeling, I would prefer a little more grip on the sides. It's my first case for this phone because I wasn't be able to find nothing more rugged/tough.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] Schaduw9:
second:

Armor shield (from aliexpress)
​

A little bit tough than the precedent, still slim

light (43 grams)

camera module is very well protected and I like the flare shape

cutouts are perfect, aroun the power button I feel just a little sharp edges, but when in use this defenitvely don't bother me.

All other buttons are coverd with a striped texture, they are light to press and comfortable, I like this feeling for the camera shutter.

grippy on all surface and the protrudign bands offer more grips too. but no holes for lanyard

the protective glass is protected a little bit more compared to the previous model.

I had to admit that i was searching for old style -bulkier case (as dual layer) but I think those two can be my compromised for everyday use and outdoor at the moment.

At the first I wasn't to convinced for this one, but despite being so cheap i'm very satisfied.

(Sorry for hairs I took close up pictures, I've a cat and can't find a decent cloth 😅 )

ps if you need more photo or if I forgot something tell me!
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] gerhardo:
Spigen Rough 72.4 x 161.5 x 11.2 mm, 50 g (official)

Caseology 72.40 x 161,65 x 11.35 mm (Officially measured 72.5 x 161.6 x 11.1 mm) 33 g

Peakally (no corners) 71,3 x 160.4 x 10.7 mm, 25 g

Peakally (corners) 73.8 x 162.9 x 11.4 mm

Spigen Rough and Caseology looks very much the same, size is within measurement errors. I doubt that Spigen is 50g (bigger measurement error). Spigen may be grippier though. Backgesture and sidesense probably depends more on the screen protector than the case. I set the sensitivity to high and it works OK but the sweep area occasionally conflict and sidesnse is a hit and miss, especially sweeps. (Why is not the fingerprint sensor handling the sidesense gestures?)

Peakally is my favorite though, only 1,3mm difference in width but it feels as much more and sides are square.

The "airbag" should give good protection in most drop scenarios.

IMAK Airbag Case is quite similar, 30 g, so a little bulkier.

--

The feeling in the camera button is lost with the case buttons. Especially with Pro without a screen shutter key in cold weather with stiffer case and less sensibility in the fingers, shots get lost.

To improve this, I modded my cases. A sharp craft knife and an iron file will do the job. It is quite simple to just remove the button nicely, especially for the Caseology. You do get better feeling only by doing that, but the finger have to be squeezed into the hole and it will not work well with gloves. So the cutout should be slightly bigger and graded.

Also leveled the assistant button with the case. You can still use it (I dont) but the risk of accidental use is lower.

The result can be better, I need a finer file...
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] TheDVIMaster:
Just ordered this case since your review of it makes it sound promising. The link works no longer sadly. They seem to may have rebranded to Kqimi, linked is the German amazon. 12 Euro when I got it.

Hi! I just placed an order for a Xperia 5 ii. $100 cheaper than the iii and it has the more efficient chip. Anyway which would provide better protection against drops? The Spigen Rugged or YTF Carbon? Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] mattdlaws:
I decided to go for the carbon case. It's transformed the phone. Without the case it's so slippery. The case is ultralight, and the cutouts are correct. It has a smooth textured quality feel to it.

I ordered from ebay, as Aliexpress wouldn't deliver to the UK. It arrived in nine days and cost just over £21.

[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] ANiceNewbie:
Hello,

I'm talking to the XDA community that I've been following for quite some time in research to find a way to unlock my bootloader.

So I've already browsed pages and pages, and I've already seen the different techniques proposed here, but I have a difference that most users seem to lack.

I have a Huawei P20 Lite AXE-LX2 phone, while the majority of people here seem to have an LX1. It is of Chinese origin, under its name Nova E3. It is currently in version EMUI 9.1.0.353(C636E4R1P5) with a security patch of July 2020.

Coming back to the bootloader, I want to unlock it by the Telegram channel or DC-Unlocker, so I need to dowgrade to an specific EMUI 8 version.

Except that I already have the EMUI 8 stocks for my device, but none for EMUI 9. On androidhost.ru, I only found an EMUI 9 archive for AXE-LX2 (https://androidhost.ru/2CNs) by a guy who runs a site called ministryofsolutions.com . By downloading it, the content is protected by a password. So I sent an email to the guy, who told me that the archive was private and not for the public, so I'll never get the password (he runs a real small business in his country).

So I'm blocked at the first step because I don't have any EMUI 9 stock for my AXE-LX2. androidhost.ru only has stocks for AXE-LX1, so those on LX2 or LX3 are literally blocked.

When I tried other sites to find firmwares, I find myself with an archive full of drivers and softwares to install, not at all in the form of the dload folder to put on an SD card.

I also found this old XDA post: https://xdaforums.com/t/ane-lx2-9-1-0-133-c605.3944407/ , but the same, not as a stock to install from an SD card, so I don't know how to do that at all (I put in screenshot the content of the two archives of the post).

View attachment 5146883

Should I take the risk to install a stock AXE-LX1? Or could someone please give me an EMUI 9 stock corresponding to my model?

Thank you
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] ANiceNewbie:
I specify that I must first downgrade to an older version of EMUI 9 because HiSuite, whether in Chinese or English version, does not offer me the possibility to downgrade with my current version.
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] -Alf-:
Hi, don't try it, it may brick your phone.

Unfortunately, there's no way to download Service ROM free for your build number, only for 17euros on paid websites.
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] ANiceNewbie:
After several hours of research, I managed to find a free stock ROM for AXE-LX2 at this address :

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261804346

The installation was perfect, and I found myself with an old version of EMUI 9.1 of at least two years old I think. Unfortunately, HiSuite, Chinese version or not, didn't offer me to downgrade my version, probably still too recent, or I arrived too late. If someone has another solution to propose me, please let me know in reply.

In case the file is down, I can upload it to another service.

Otherwise to get AXE-LX2 EMUI 8 stocks, there are two of them I know of for free on androidhost.ru.
