Best X10 case review (RT-SE10C2/R)

I just received my long waited case from Ray-out Japan exclusive case. The case is a must have to every X10 owner.
I received the case today from Japan, I ordered it online from a Japanese site Rakuten
http://en.item.rakuten.com/keitai/111-986835/
The case comes in 5 different glossy metallic colors and 1 clear, I ordered the Metallic Red color last week and it was shipped by EMS Express mail from Japan to the US.
The case/Jacket is one hell of a piece of accessory. Here is summary:
-The case is coated with 3H film and it is scratch resistant
-It fits the X10 perfectly and doest wobble around like other cases
-It came with screen protector, I think it is the same one SE uses on their X10 stock phones
-The case have a thick paint on it with Metallic touch, so there is no way it would slip from your hand and has a very solid feel to it
-The inside of the case has a glossy coating applied to it so it wont scratch the phone.
-The cost of the case is $25 plus shipping which is about $35 total price, I know it is expensive but well worth it
-The color is very bright and vibrant which screams quality paint
I have posted some pictures of the case to look at, sorry the picture colors are kinda dull. I used my crappy C902 camera. But the colors are vibrant as the stock photo which you can see from the official website below
http://www.ray-out.co.jp/products/se10c2/index.html
I highly recommend the case for every owner, it will breath a new life to your X10, its like a brand new phone
feel free to ask any questions

I tried to order the RT-SE10C3/B model from them before but when I reached the payment and shipment options it was all in Japanese, and couldn't understand anything ..
Is it available in any other (English) store?
Amazon Japan doesn't ship it internationally, and it's not on eBay ..

The store has a step by step guide with pictures for international customers. I just followed this guide it is easy to follow
http://event.rakuten.co.jp/borderless/guide/flow/en/
RT-SE10C3/B is the older model, they use rubberizes material instead of glossy, my brother has one, but the new version RT-SE10C1 has better quality in my opinion

That is a really sharp looking case. Thanks for the review, I think i'll order one.
Which color do you think would look best with white?

I would say Ocean Blue (RT-SE10C2/N) or Red Metallic (RT-SE10C2/R)

lots of these on ebay at a fraction of the price. Mine cost a couple of dollars with free postage

Clear was my 2nd choice of purchase, but I wanted to add more color to the X10, it looks like a giant version of X10 mini red but very bright red.
ill try to post better pics of the case, cause these colors are not doing it justice

i've tried clear cases like this before and the only thing i ever notice about them is the large amount of dirt/dust that accumulates between the case and phone. and HEY it's CLEAR! so everyone gets to enjoy it just like you ... my two cents...

I clear case "white" or is it see through...i have a black x10..and would like a white case...any recommendations?

Its clear "see through" just google image RT-SE10C2/C and you will get a better idea about it
Since you have the block model I would recommend the red metallic color it matches it perfectly!

Yea, i was looking at that too...it looks nice...but might be a bit flashy...haha
EDIT: @ Kbadone - How long did it take for the case to arrive? And where are you from?
Thanks

C2 is glossy and brighter color, while C1 has mate finish with rubberized matetial. I thought the C1 model was good until I got the C2 which is whole new story and better quality. So stick with C2;-)

Anyone try this case? Frosted clear case with black rim?

I see many variants of this and was wondering if anyone has tried it. if so can you let me know your thoughts? Maybe some photos of the phone with the case. I am really thinking of getting it.

Will do, first person to get it post

I'm using one that's nearly identical --
http://www.amazon.com/Cimo-Hybrid-H...8&qid=1368653617&sr=1-4&keywords=cimo+htc+one
I like it! Simple, doesn't add much bulk. Only issue with it is the volume rocker is covered up by a harder rubber material, so there is no longer any tactile feedback with presses.

Could this case harm my phone?

I just ordered this case a few minutes ago
http://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B00G1G...qid=1392286988&sr=8-18&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
and now I saw that it uses a magnet to turn on/off the screen. I remember reading about magnets harming phones (compass, screen, etc.), so I wonder if I should cancel my order or if this case will be safe to use?

Don't panic. Magnets used in those kind of cases are safe for your phone.

Yeah you shouldn't worry. Even one of the official cases from Google/LG has the same feature.

I want something like that .-. Is there more cases like that?

Thx everybody! Happily awaiting the arrival of my case (and my screen protectors) then. The on/off feature may even be a really nice thing, saves the power button some work.
@Galaxysm: No idea, but amazon.de ships almost everywhere and the price is really good atm. It fluctuates a lot on this case, I saw it for 16.99 two weeks ago, then 20.99 last week and today 9.99,

[CASE REVIEW] Ringke - Fusion (Smoke Black) for Sony Xperia Z3c

Hi fellow XDA roamers,
As promised, I'll be doing a quick review of the Ringke - Fusion (Smoke Black) for Sony Xperia Z3 Compact smartphone.
Here's the Amazon page : Fusion (Smoke Black)
And here's the official website (thanks to @sh4d0wf0x) : Rearth - Ringke Fusion
For some reason, I can't find any official website, not that I need one but sometimes it can help to make sure the product isn't coming from some cheap company.
After my desastrous experience with the CaseMate - Tough Case I was quite impatient to get this case, I even ordered it the morning I got the CaseMate.
I got it for a whopping 13 euros (there was a nice sale on it) instead of 30 and I received it in less than 4 days, another end of the year miracle !
Unboxing
When you receive this case, you know that your cash didn't went to the packaging, a simple translucent plastic bag with a pre-cut opening
The little bag contains the most basic accessories :
The case
A screen protector
A case template for cutting your own back image for the case
Yup, that's it... But who needs extras nowadays ?
At least everything is looking sharp and durable, this time the case fits perfectly the smartphone and doesn't leave any gaps.
It feels secure and looks nice altogether, I must say that this case is quite simple but does its job perfectly.
I haven't dropped my phone since then but I do think it will come unscathed.
A nice addition are little bumps on the back side of the case at each corners, so when the phone is placed on the back, the whole case isn't touching the surface and they're about 1 mm tall so they won't interfere with your hand.
As for the users who are wondering about the little USB hatch, it's still very easy to open (I don't have long nails) it and plug the power cord.
The only things that are going the wrong way are the back of the case that "stick" to the phone, sometimes you can see small succion marks but they can be removed with a simple pressure on the side of the case, and the other thing is that it attracts a lot of fingerprints... like a lot of cases...
The screen protections is like any other, nothing particulars about it, it's cut out for the speakers and led and it's mostly an expected thing from a phone case package.
Let's do a roundup !
The pros
Simple but still looks tough
Bumper protection has a nice rubber feel
Covers all the buttons and offer a little rubber cover for the headphone jack
Small bumps on the back
The cons
Small succion marks from the back of the case, the back of the case tends to suck to the back of the phone
Attracts fingerprints, grease marks & dust
Verdict
All in all, this case is living up to my expectations, looks simple but you can feel that the phone is protected and every little additions are welcome and useful.
This case clearly wipe away the bad taste that CaseMate left in my mouth, can't wait to receive the Orzly tempered glass to check if it all works together
Another review for you guys
Q&A
Anyone with the same case feeling the same as I do or I am missing something ?

is this the best case to get for the z3?

The casemate tough has a much larger cutout on the magnetic charger side.
Do you think this case will be compatible with the OEM docks? (http://www.sony.com.au/product/dk-48)

I think it should be compatible but as I don't own one myself, I can't give you a clear confirmation
Maybe one of the other XDA users does have this combo and can confirm it works well ?

Quick poke around on the internet suggests it probably won't. Shttp://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/2n3seu/z3c_ringke_fusion_case_and_dk48_dock/)
I'm considering getting a z3c, but the community looks very sparse, and there's no actual usable roms. Is it even worth buying? :\

Too bad for the dock
As for buying it, I can't give your an objective feedback since it's my first Android phone ever but from my experience and the research I've done before jumping in, it's one of the best phone for this kind of size.
This little monster is compact, fast like it's bigger brother and even better looking than him. As for the Sony bloatwares, there are like 10 apps pre-installed, I'm not using most of them but they're not threatening my experience so it's ok for me.
For the custom ROM scarceness, it's linked with the DRM removal associated with unlocking the bootloader. As developers unlock more and more functionalities, more ROM will become available. If you want more informations about that, feel free to look around the General section of the forums.
I'm not very fond of custom ROM (I'm new to this) so for now I'll stick with the stock one.
Buying this phone is more of a love @ first sight and personal tastes, so it's mainly up to you to decide whether you will throw your cash at the screen or not.

Thanks for the insight.
Yeah it'd be my 6th Android phone, with my first being the very first Android phone (HTC Dream).
I've pretty much always used a custom rom with the exception of using rooted stock on the Nexus 5.
The hardware is what appealed to me as well, but it doesn't seem like the software is going to cut it just yet. S:

Just made friendship with my phone and before I bought it i ordered this case. Hope it will arrive soon so I can hopefully agree with your review.

I have a similar dock and without the insert mine charges fine with this case. I put a thin strip of velcro(the soft side) on the back edge where the phone rest instead of the insert.

Sorry I'm still using the USB cable to charge it but I've already made my mind to buy the Magnector X2 magnetic charger when I have the money, maybe later this year.

I bought both the Ringke and the Cruizerlite. I wanted to like the Ringke, but the left side along the charging port and the sd card port is just way to loose. I can't help but think it would even get looser over time and use. My phone wears the Cruizerlite and I'm very happy with it. The only thing I would change about the Cruizerlite is to make a version with a plain back on it.

Thanks for the insight, it's true that the left side is loose, but I'm not really complaining since I only manipulate this side when I need to plug the USB cable.
For now the Ringke is more than enough for me, the Cruzerlite seems a little bit flimsy for me and the way it blocks the USB section is bothering me. Maybe when I'll have a magnetic charger I will try this one.

I probably should have mentioned that I use the magnetic desk charger and I pair my phone with my PC over WiFi for any transfers, therefore I have no need to access the usb port.

Its the best phone I have owned and the ONLY android phone that I haven't rooted. There is no need.
Sony Skin is VERY minimal and I like the Sony Apps including the Walkman and Album. Nova launcher and a Lollipop Theme (Via Sony's own theming engine) has produced a phone I have ZERO complaints with.
Also the battery really is epic, I use stamina mode and have full sync of gmail, exchange, messenger, whatsapp, the lot and easily leave work with 70-75%
My only complaint like others have is the camera, normal lights its fantastic but low light over cameras beat it.
Trust me this is a great phone. And Lollipop is coming next month.
Seriously just buy one.

Well, I can't be objective on this one but hell, I've already tried 3 or 4 devices under Android and not a single one came closer to it than the Samsung flagships but with added bulkiness.
Just click on that damn "Throw my cash at the screen" button

Bumper Frame Cases

I love to use very minimalistic cases that don't add much bulk to the phone. Mainly want one for protecting the corners of the phone if it is dropped. My preference is a bumper frame that does not have a back to it. I used to have one from Motorola for my Moto X but I cannot seem to find any for the V20. Anyone had any luck finding any yet?

I actually already emailed them and asked them if they would be making one. They said no. Their cases seem like they offer so much protection with almost no case at all. But yes please email them. Hopefully if they see there is demand they will offer one.

That Sux,but,thank you for the news regardless & also for taking the lead in finding a bumper for this phone.
Nillkin made a nice one for several phones a couple years ago,but,it seems they've dropped that item from their line-up on newer phones.
I have zero interest in the POS aluminum ones that litter e-Bay,I'm sure you've seen 'em.
I've tried 'em out (on past phones) & for the most part,they're just downright awful.
Anyhoo,back to the RhinoShield:
I'm gonna hold out a glimmer of hope,as the phone won't be available in their market (Australia,I believe) for another two weeks,perhaps demand will grow & they'll change their minds:

Yeah I'm still holding out hope! I just think the phone looks great and I hate hiding my phones in cases where you can't even see them. They also tend to add some bulk (depending on what you go with). Hopefully someone will step up to the plate and make one. But yeah I've seen a bunch of those aluminum ones for other phones and yeah they look like junk.

Hello,
Thank you for your interest in our product.

Yep pretty much the same response I got. The search continues.

LG makes a bumper for the V10, i'm sure they will have them for the V20.
Anyway I will be in china next week, I ll see what I can pick up, i'm sure aluminum bumper are available, but I prefer more protection.

Interesting. I wasn't aware they made one for the V10. Sure hope you're right and they produce one. Someone has to step up and produce one I'm sure. With the demise of the Note7, this phone is becoming a lot more popular than people expected I believe and I think someone will hop on board and produce one.

I had the OEM LG V10 Bumper, & as with most other current LG devices, OEM accessories weren't readily available to most outside of S. Korea, at least at phone launch time.
Makes no sense to me, why let the 3rd party mfgs get to market before selling your own accessories, SMH, yet, that's been LG's M.O. for as long as I can remember.....

It did look super nice on the phone and left that cool back open, but it did nothing to protect the camera which was soft, painted aluminum. I switched it for a different case. It seems like bumper cases aren't as popular now. When I had my G3, there were about 10 different manufacturers of bumpers. Really, all I want for this phone is something to protect the top and bottom and to keep the screen and camera hump raised off the surface.

How well does this protect the camera / front of screen.. i've noticed a lot of thin cases will not protect either of those areas.

I don't really count those as bumper cases since the top and bottom are exposed. . Thank you though!

offers great protection I've dropped it multiple times most on the face I never think about the camera
