These leather cases seem ok but the one I have just leaves tiny bits of material all over the Orbit screen....anyone know of a simple pouch for the Orbit?
Don't mean to hijack the thread but anyone have one of these:

Looks to be designed specifically for O2 but I want to know if someone recognises it as a proper Artemis case and not some other model's case that just happens to fit. (ie is it a dedicated P3300 case that will have a perfect fit?)
looks like a generic. problem with sleeve cases is that you need to take the phone out to do anything. so unless its top quality you can get scratches and smears over time.
Just got the PDAair flip case (for my orbit). Its quite nice as it protects the screen and trackball without actually touching either. However it holds the orbit extremely tightly, have to struggle to take it out (although I mostly keep it in).
this looks like the best quality one:

buts it pricey. I'll see how my Pdaair is after a month .....

im using my 80gb ipod pouch until my case arrives! fits perfectly
Now got the pdair black metal case! its fantastic as the screen is protected.
One problem is you can't get the stylus out if you have an orbit, but a small amount of cutting with a hacksaw should sort that out
I got this case from ebay yesterday, seems very good....

It works very well, all functions accessible, is fairly bulky although and wont sit in car holder very well, however i believe a car holder is available which uses the round clip that comes with the case....

Looking for a dock that'll work with a thin case for the one X, was thinking about this combo, anyone try it? Or know of a combination that'll work?

Also saw this one which looks like they claim is good for cases as is - http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlineshop/online_shop_detail.php?pid=5828
Well.... :laugh:
I just recently got my ion, and unfortunately, when i opened a box i saw no headphones inside. i mean, sony, wft?? where are those headphones?? :laugh:
ion did not work with arc s headphones, and it worked as just a headphones (no mic and control) with my ipod headset. so i decided to use it meanwhile i get some nice headphones from sony or beats, but that will happen later on when i will have some extra money to spend
But something was bothering me... white headphones with black phone.. i did not like the combination, so i had to do something.
my friend was wrapping his honda car with vinyl stickers, and there were some leftovers, and they became useful. i took my phone apart and did some magic. Metal back cover was covered by tiny vinyl film and now it looks completely different :silly:
here is result
i think will have this for couple weeks, and then, once i have some idea for new headphones i will change white colo sticker to carbon fiber
Very nice! Im diggin this. I would do the same, but i currently have a white case on mine so it wouldnt matter anyways

I think he took the metal back cover out and paint it. Now i wanna make the blue version for my ion now :laugh::laugh:
You painted your phone so nicely! but the "brushed"metal look goes :l
No. He said he used vinyls stickers. Like the ones they use for car graphics. It looks sweet, but I do like the brushed metal.

for the speaker had to use tiny needle which has a bit smaller diameter that those small holes, just pierce it.
the material itself can be stretched using a heat gun, so i was able to push it inside in those camera and flash holes, and than slice it like a pizza pie
the SE logo is mounted on double sided tape, so it can be removed
the metal back is nice, but it get scratches very quickly, i already got one =( sticker has matte finish and it not slippery at all, and any time a don`t want whit i can remove and have that brushed metal back
and nooo, its not paint :laugh:
Looks really good. I haven't seen that the back scratches easily, though.
I kinda have scratches on back. But I put my phone in a weird slot in my car and in all my pockets with other stuff. That phone is pretty btw

Hi!
I'm looking for a case without cutouts for the flaps, only for the magnetic charger.
Does anyone know where to find these?
Thanks!
The cruzalite bugdroid cases do not have the port cuttouts i think.

Like someone else mentioned the Cruzerlite case which is available on their website or on Amazon.
The RhinoShield bumper will also have the flaps covered if they get enough Pre-orders to produce it. http://www.evolutivelabs.com/pages/crashguard-sony-z3-compact

I, too, am looking for a similar case. I'd like something like the Incipio Dual Pro that leaves open only the headphone jack and the magnetic charging port. It just seems to me that leaving open the area surrounding the USB port and microSD card slot just wouldn't be good for overall protection. Bumpers also don't protect the rear of the phone, just the edges. I guess that basically leaves me with the Cruzerlite...
Exactly, I think we need to wait a little bit longer for more cases like this, unless someone has a good suggestion ofcourse.
I'm also looking for this, since my wifes microsd and USB port flap will come open up by itself many times in a day.
I would give great money for the Puro covering all flaps. Best so far. But unable to make contact with them.
I would like to buy a cruzerlite, but I hate the design on the back. Would love to find a similar one that's just plain.
Biggest issue of the cruzerlite is it's off the best screen protectors. Personally I also don't like the finish of the sides. Feels cheap.
Yeah the cruizerlite looks like a good case, but it is a little bit translucent right? Don't like that..
The magnetic charger is such an easy method to charge your phone without pulling the flap.
It is a little bit of a hassle in the beginning but you'll get used to it!
I also pre ordered the Rhinoshield. I hope they get enough pre orders because that's gonne be one badass case for our Z3C:good:
The black CruzerLite Bugdroid case is opaque.
Like others, I wish it didn't have the goofy design on it, but otherwise it seems nice. I'd rather have it cover the buttons, though, because the tiny isthmus of TPU between the power and volume buttons looks horrible (like it isn't fused into one piece right there). Otherwise, it's a decent case.
Do you guys know of any new cases that came out without flap cutouts? I'd buy the Bugdroid case but the design is bugging me too much...
It's a pity the RhinoShield didn't get produced in the end...
I messaged dbrand to see if they would be making skins for the z2 series in the future and they basically said no. I'd really prefer to put one on the back of this phone, and was looking at maybe purchasing the original z1 back skin and seeing if it fits.
I think it should as they are moto-mod interchangable so should be skin-interchangable. Anyone have a dbrand skin on their z2 play/force?

I have not done this, but am considering.
I agree with your assessment that the back skin should fit.
I would be interested in a screen-skin of that kind, that would not be the same as Z Play, but gadgetshieldz does not plan this either. Skinomi though does have similar skins for the Z2, but is pricewise only really interesting for US-residents because of the shipping costs.

I'm thinking of getting the Moto Z one for my Z2 Play...I had the Moto Z dbrand for my Moto Z Play and it fit just fine. From what I can tell, the only difference between the Z/Z Play and the Z2 Play is the little gold strip on the back under the pins, it's a different shape (slightly)
I had applied z play skin on my z2 play, I purchased it from a seller on Instagram.
The only flaw that i found in Z Play skin is, there remains a empty circle sort of below the camera because camera modules are different rest all perfect.

The one for the Moto Z fits fine
Only thing I'd day is that the cutout for the gold strip below the contacts is a slightly different shape but this is nothing major.

This is so damn awesome. Doesn't look like a skin at all. Love the way dbrand gave the cutout for mods. All other skin maker give a big cut exposing the mod area, but this one is so precise. I wish i can get this in India.
So, I got dbrand, Z Play camera and back skins.
Can anyone say with certainty, that the cameras on the Z Play and Z2 Play are the same?
Particularly the two small, sensors, to the left of the lens, when looking at the back of the phone. It can seem either was, depending on viewing angle.
ETA, I couldn't be certain that the camera sensors were not covered. The wife had a 1/8" hole punch for crafting. I used this to enlarge the sensor holes, in the vinyl skin and in an pleased with the results.
FYI, the CARBON FIBER skin is thicker than the TITANIUM skin. I think the thicker the better, for the protruding camera protection.
I used A DRAGON Z Play skin on the Otterbox Commuter, in order to add grip to what I thought was a slippery case.
there is an alternative Skinomi, has Z²P carbon fiber skins.

I'll let you know in a week or so. I ordered one, it comes next week. I also had to order a Heat gun, as I don't own a blow dryer.
I'll let you know and post pictures once I am done.

its not the easiest thing to do, especially on a gold or lighter colored phone. but it's serviceable.

Well done!
Do you like it?
How does it feel?
How does it compare to other brands?
Could you still get a case on it?

its just like any other skin. I used to have one on my laptop like it. it's a plastic kinda like latex lol.
my eyesight is poor, so I had a hard time lining everything up. the sides are easy, but getting the back on straight was a challenge.
Yes mods work fine with it, even the Gamepad Mod, which is the worst as the whole phone has to fit into it.
my Metal bumper case fits well too,.
it's thin, so I don't think it would interfere with any case.
I don't know how it compares to other phone skin brands, as this is my first one. until I stumbled upon this thread, I had no idea they existed.
i don't like the camera protector, so I left it off (I have a clear one in the mail)
you really must have a blow dryer or heat gun.
For me, it hides the corner damage I told you about. and the black/gold looks very nice. actually it really does look good. just they could've done a better job on volume buttons (see picture)

I think every couple of months I'll change to a different color/texture. but I imagine the black on gold will be hard to beat.
This summer I might try the wood.
for the price, it's worth it. And it makes your phone look new again.
use the Coupon if you try it.
BTW, There are full front tempered glass plates for the front on eBay, so you can change the front to White or Black. Refresh your phone!

its better than the slippery metal, but nothing exceptional.
it's a rubbery material so that's a bit less slippery. , and you can feel the texture. but nothing outside a good case (or one of the Mods) will make this wafer thin phone truly gripable.
best Mod compatible case (all mods fit/works except Gamepad mod)
nice buttons, good protection.
looks expensive, paid only $10.00 from US retailer, but it costs around $5.00 from China on eBay.

The bumper can be used, without the back of the case, when a Moto Mod is installed?
What is the brand name?
Where did you buy it?
