Case-Mate has a tough case available soon that seems to compatible with the dock. Only downside is they didn't cover the charging-flap. Wich make it look weird and a lot of the side unprotected.

I made a request if there will be other docking-acceptable models and another tough-model that covers the flaps.
That would be ok if the uncovered flap bit, matched the bottom half, the magnetic charging is definitely accessible.

The official Sony smart window view case will work with the dock when the front of the case is folded to the back. This is what I intend to buy.
Just received a batch of these (10 for $16) from a seller on aliexpress. They're from the same factory as the 'terrapin' cases made for the Z1C.
Very light plastic with rubber finish and holes in all the right places This was my fave case for the Z1C so glad they're making them for our new baby. Gonna keep a couple and the rest are going on fleabay :good:
Now I just need a phone to put inside it

From the pictures I've seen of the smart window covers, they have a cut out for the magnetic charging, you won't even need to fold it open to charge it in the dock.
I've managed to only find one video yet of the thing in action including, how you attach it. Sadly it's in Italian but you get the gist from the video.
It looks like the inside of the cover that attaches to the back of the phone is some sort of sticky? plastic that attaches to the glass back, rather than the usual plastic type tray that clips on, this does make it more form fitting, I don't know how secure or long lived it would be though. Take a look and see for yourself. (This is for the Z3 but the Z3c also has a version which will be the same, just smaller)

That's annoying. They've gone from one extreme to the other. I suspect a lot of people with the CM Tough for the Z1C, like myself, ended up cutting a gap for the magnetic charger.
TBH that's the only port I really need access to. I very rarely connect the device by USB and the SD and SIM both go in the phone when I get it and come out when I sell it.
Here's hoping for some well designed tough cases.

Yes, that makes more sense. I was going by the description given here - http://www.clove.co.uk/sony-xperia-z3-compact-scr26-style-up-cover
But now I've seen a description of the charger dock and it says the pins are compatible with our without a case, and the window case seems to be very thin material anyway.

Case Mate barely there is out:
https://www.gadgetwear.co.uk/case-m...r-sony-xperia-z3-compact-black?filter_name=z3
Seems dock-compatible!
But: same unprotected side as the tough edition.
Already a report on a shattered screen from a drop:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIFgcCoWEZs
So casing seems the way to go. Already preordered the CM tough for convenience until another good case pops up.

Hey.. was just kidding.. I will certainly have a cover for this phone considering that this is a phone I intend to use for at least the next 2-3 years. Been using my GS-II for the past three years with a cover and is still looking pretty good all because of the cover. But that said, seeing this beauty without the cover is a treat it in itself
Really waiting to see the official style cover from Sony for this phone similar to the one for Z3.
Received a hard shell case from eBay this morning, will protect sides but not much protection top and bottom, nice and thin. £1.95 on eBay delivered. I'll post some photos when I get the phone, maybe tomorrow.
I must admit, after seeing the video, and not having a glass phone before, I'll be looking for something that's probably Gel for bounce, non flip & definitely with a cut-out for docking port only. I've had a good look on Amazon/Ebay etc. but it's too early to tell as the phones not actually out yet. Hopefully the clove case will do for the interim until the pictures a bit clearer and thee's some user reviews on the various options. Definitely needs a case of some sort though that's beyond doubt.

Super cheesy and flimsy looking case. IMHO.
I'm hoping it will fit in my Nook Color case with 3 position Landscape stand. I'm pretty sure I can modify it to fit becuz I love that damn case and it cost me $35
Thanks for sharing though.
The Crazy On Digital case below via Amazon works great and looks sharp. It is for the Playbook, but fits the Fire perfectly.

Things to watch for in cases
One really important thing to be mindful of when buying a case is how close the case is to the home key popup button.
I have a Speck case I like except for one super annoying problem: the bottom of the holder is right on the edge of the screen so it makes it impossible to press the home popup key. You have to bend down the holder to make room for your finger. Granted the holder part is pretty thick, part of its function is to act as padding between the case and the cover.
Oh, and also make sure you can put the Fire in the case upside down because at least one app I tried doesn't properly rotate the screen so I have to put the Fire in upside down when using the case as a stand. I think a reverse opening case would actually be best but I've yet to see a "manga style" opening case.
I bought the PU case from ebay (as mentioned by the OP). I figured at $9 shipped it would just be an experiment.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PU-Leather-...ccessories&hash=item45fde7f83e#ht_2692wt_1037
I have to say it's not too bad. It seems to fit well, and the stand seems to work OK in both positions. I only really wanted it to travel with on the plane, and it won't be a permanent case, but for the price it does it's job. It has a magnet catch to close it, which isn't very strong, but does the job. It is also quite a low form factor, so it doesn't bulk up the overall thickness of the Fire too much.
Frankly, I prefer the feel of the kindle outside of a case, and with it being rubberized and made of Gorilla glass, I'm not too worried about scratching/marking. I just wipe it down with a damp cloth every few days.

When you fold the cover back, does it lay flat? I've seen some where it doesn't, so it leaves a space of say .5" or so on the side with the flap. I hope this is making sense, I'm tired. I want to get a case, but I don't want it to have that space on the side. I wish I could find the picture of it again to make myself clear. They never show pictures of the cases with the cover all the way folded back
I'm not sure what you mean, so here are some pictures of it in both positions. Does this help? Sorry, they aren't particularly good quality!

See how on the side of the flap it doesn't actually sit flush, thus doubling the size that is held in that hand. An yes, I know thats for the touchpad, but just for reference.

Yeah, it can, but what that does is make the flap protrude maybe 3/4" out of the front. So there is no real optimal fully flat position that keeps to same form factor of the Kindle itself. Each position requires you to kind of mold it to sit there, but that is probably because it's new, and doesn't have a lot of give yet.
At the end of the day, it's $9 delivered, and for that money I believe it's a reasonably disposable purchase. I'd be pissed if I had paid $40-50 for a case and didn't like it! (although I suppose I could always take it back)

I bought one of those too. I am eagerly waiting for the delivery of that one too! I chose a custom leather option, so they have to hand-build it on demand. At least I will probably have the only one around!
For now I have a cheap belt pouch made for a navman device. It is roomy and slim, but will not last many more months.

I liked this PDair book style one so much I bought another one in crocodile as well : ) Both have belt clips where you slide the unit on down into the belt clip and it "clicklocks" right in, when needed reach behind the unit with your thumb on top and pressing down pull out voila. Phone will rotate freely when in belt clip so if you happen to brush up against something it will move out the way. Flip the cover around the back for landscape viewing and adjust for optimum angle.

The very first time I used one of those it broke. I sat down in an armchair (not heavily) and the force against the bottom toward me (I think) just snapped the connection right off.

Interesting, since the very first time I sat down with it on, I have (intuitively it seems) moved the phone to the horizontal or landscape position before sitting.
I see now that that has been a wise thing to do. So far, so good, have had it for several months and still going strong. The clip is probably designed for your average dress belt thickness but so far I've worn it daily over a very thick gun belt which stretches the clip wider than it was probably designed to go but makes it even more secure as it won't budge without very considerable force to slide it over.
I got this one.

I had one for the Xperia Arc. It was nice, because of the extra safety of the second 'clip'.
After a while, I found the main clip started to tear off from the case, mainly from sitting in the car.
I do seem to give these cases a hard time, don't I?
I have opted for the 'nutshell' case in the hope that it will survive whatever I do to these poor cases:

I have not received it yet . Apparently they are still waiting for a sample to make it for. I am not sure how long I'll wait ....
If it saves my Note, it'll be well worth the money. I have another case that is OK, but has a metal frame so reduces the phone signal. If I can remove enough metal but leave it functional, I may drop the Nutshell for taking to damned long.
I have read through all the older case threads pertaining to real leather style cases, most of which haven't been updated in over a month. Anyone come across something awesome? My Note comes this weekend.
Im going to buy next this one or this one. Not sure if those are real leather tho.

I loved the Spigen but I was looking for a Brown color in between the tan and the brown that is available. May get that one as well if I strike out. Thanks for sharing bro.
This one is great build quality, but as I noticed in the other threads the leather is lighter and all that stuff on the front kind of kills it for me.

So it is a real issue huh? Good to know. I am looking for a good dark brown leather, a easy open clasp system, and spots for cards/cash.
This one is epic for the iPhone, http://store.apple.com/us/product/H...-4s?afid=p228|Google&cid=AOS-US-SHOPIP-Google
Damn they thought of everything on this case. http://www.spider-foot.com/100-genu...ung-galaxy-note-n7000-i9220-i92rb-p-1139.html
Just if color and build quality was better.
Take a look at Easecase on Ebay. They make superb leather custom cases. You choose the colour,leather texture, closure option,engraving etc ,etc.
I purchased a wallet type case for my GS2 and it is amazing. Do a search for them on this site and you will find various reviews

Sorry should have stated that there are two versions of the case
1. E4- this has the slots for credit cards and you don't need to remove phone to snap photos - I've got this one
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/E4-EASECA...sesPouches&hash=item5ae642faf1#ht_4452wt_1037
2. E5- as above model with additional bit for dollar bills etc
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/E5-EASECA...sesPouches&hash=item56499c68f4#ht_4452wt_1037
As I love colour....my case has the purple cowhide outer and the inner is red cowhide. It has a lovely texture and the workmanship is outstanding
This is the case I use:
http://www.spigen.com/spigen-sgp-sa...case-valentinus-series-vintage-edition-1.html
It has a very easy "snap in" to it so I can quickly pull out my phone to dock in my car or talk on it like a phone. But for the most part, my Note lives inside my wallet

I am thinking of buying this. But this text from their site worries me
** Phone must be removed from the left side plastic casing. Do not remove from right side as the leather may tear away from the plastic casing.**
Sounds fragile

I have the first one in your listing and can confirm it is not real leather. The fitting is perfect and the it is a beautiful case. However, it doesn't hold credit card or cash too well.
There isn't sufficient space between the front cover and Note's screen, so you will have a hard time close the flip after occupy the credit card slots or placed your cash.
The case is made from not so durable material. I would expect the PU surface to deteriore after a few months.

Yes, Faux Leather. Not sure why the SGP site lists is a genuine leather. I have mine filled with CCs, drivers license, a key card, cash, and some business cards. Closes and snaps fine.

Looking at it, I think the plastic part that holds the Note is just glued to the wallet part. I found that a quick bend on the lower left corner will pop my phone right out to quickly answer a call or throw into my car dock.

Thanks for the awesome info. What kind of closure did you pick? Can you realistically hold bills and cards in there? Does the one you have contain a spot for bills behind the credit card area or is that just a seam?
My E4 case for the GS2 has three slits for credit cards, there is also a small inner pocket where you could put a few bills. The E4 for the Note has five slits for credit cards and should have the same inner pocket (behind credit card slits) It has the inserted closure.
I must point out the Easecase will answer any questions regarding further info/options/customizing - this really impressed me. They provided me with photos of colour options and engravement placement.
Before I got my Easecase, I used a Melkco flipcase which I loved. Unfortunately I dropped my phone this resulted in having two ugly dents in it. After that ....I was determined to get a case with full protection. I didn't really purchase it for the wallet aspect, as I use my purse and handbag for that.
All future phones will be lovingly encased in Easecase LoL
Google just announced they're releasing their own case for the new Nexus 7...but I don't see anywhere if it's actually a smart cover. It doesn't look too bad, but I wish it came in more color options.

$50 seems steep. I have the poetic case for $6. After a month it is already showing signs of wear so I guess you get what you pay for.

My poetic slimline (replacement) has already broken. The magnet came unglued, and the edge piece of plastic next to the same magnet completely broke off
I ordered a different case the other day, saw this and thought, "Oh crap." But looking at it closer, there isn't much there for $50. More like for someone whose ordering a N7 and getting a case at the same time.
Have not seen the auto on/off as confirmed or not for the Google case.

I have the Poetic and the smart cover aspect of it works just fine with the 2013 nexus 7.
With that said, fifty bucks for this seems a bit absurd... smart cover support or not.
dislike....
Well did not like this flip one for N7(2013)...Simply why would I use that....did not like it that much and not even worth of its cost too...$ 50 for this flip case..its quite steep cost of Google....

It does, well on my LTE, so I assume also on the wifi only ones. Hold a magnet near the bottom right of the screen and see for yourself.

It does. Asus just don't make cases with the magnets in them.
My official Google case came in today. I purchased the black model. Here is a list of first impressions:
This case looks great, by far the best looking case I've seen (I have had the Moko, Poetic Slimline, and ASUS cases).
The case fits the Nexus 7 very tightly.
The material is very nice. Feels great in the hand. Much better than my Poetic Slimline
There is nothing to keep the case closed besides the weight of the screen cover (it's noticeably thicker than the cover on my Poetic case). That being said, it can come open.
This case does not have sleep/wake functionality.
The angle of the tablet when standing up is really nice, make it much easier to view when sitting on the desk.
I'd love if this case had magnets to keep the cover closed and for sleep/wake. However, it is so much better looking than the Poetic that I think I'll just live without that functionality. Right now, it is my primary case.

Thats so disappointing... So many other companies add it in, you'd think they would too.
I think Apple has a patent on the magnetic smart cover so it might be that Google just doesn't want to get into it.
Thin?

How slim or light is it compared to the Slimline?

It can't be that, because the Nexus 10 has an official magnetically-operated smart cover that wakes and sleeps the device.

It is slightly heavier and thicker than the Poetic Slimline.
Here is a quick hands on from Droid Life: http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/10/first-look-nexus-7-2013-official-google-play-case/
Meh I'll stick with my Portenzo Book cover with a elastic strap and magnetic sleep/wake = $25
Well I would prefer to go with poetic slim rather than with this one...poetic is much better some around on comparison with that one and more over its not much expensive and worth of its cost too...

Another forum had a sample case and tried removing it the wrong way, they ended up separating the back cover and even cracked the portion above the USB port.

yup - droid-life.com
Kellen broke the nexus, but he managed to get it snapped back together. Said the fit was perfect, but so much so that atking it off, if done incorrectly, can break the tablet apart
Can anyone compare it to ASUS Premium Cover then? just wonder which is better,..
Hi guys, I bought Pudini leather flip case, this one: aliexpress.com flip leather case cover (but not from aliexpress).
It seems like nobody have this case so I just want to share my opinions and photos.

Review + photos
First impression (points 9 out of 10): This case came few hours ago and it's cheaper flip case (12€ app. $15.5) so I wasn't excepting anything outstanding but, when I touch it it was so good. It's fake leather, but feels good in hand and it doesn't attract dirt (and when it is dirty, it's easy to clean.. just light rub with finger or clothes). So first impression was great.
Pudini closed 1 | Pudini closed 2 | Pudini opened | Pudini back side
Build quality (8.5/10): Beautiful, really. everything is well made and cutted, it's not sewn so no strings around or so, it is looking really good.
Holes for 3.5mm jack, USB, mic (on top), loudspeaker, flashlight and camera is great but holes for front speaker is placed too high. Also holes for lock and volume button are way out... you can press them, but you need to place your finger almost on the back because buttons are too close to the case around front side and there's too much space on the back side (see photo: buttons).
Case doors and case details (8/10):
Case is great made. Fits perfect and Moto G doesn't felling out of case. When you want to pick up phone out of case, you need to be strong because it fits and holds so good and tough almost like official cover.
From top view, it looks like case doors doesn't fit, but they fit good. (photo top view)
Case doors are big disappointment for me. I was excepting magnet or little sucker that will suck on your screen, but nothing. Maybe there's another Pudini model for Moto G with "sucker" or magnet, but this doors was blank from inside (picture: Pudini inside doors) so the doors are not fully closed and you need to put your phone on table with the back facing up.
But in fact doors are opening 360° so when you arecalling or playing games they are not obstructing.
Final words
The case looks and feels really good, but there's some bugs that will take time for me to get over it. But I like this case and hope it will protect it for long
In the end, I think 25,5 points out of 30 is good isn't it?

how big is phone with this case
how well you can open/close the case doors
what about build quality.. do you recommend this item? does this case fit well, is phone moving in it? etc.
I ordered brown one btw.
thanks for your reactions, it's my first case ever, so I'm little nervous about investing my 15€ (student without job so every euro worth gold for me)

IMO it will make the device bulky. Share your experiance when you get your order delivered.

Updated. And it's not bulky at all...
case is adding:
2 milimeters on width,
2-3 milimeters height
and
with opened doors around 1-2 milimeters on depth, with closed doors around 5 milimeters on depth (because theres 2 milimeters space between doors and display)
Bad case
That case is rubish. I have been using it for two months, and the cover got peeled off. Also, it doesn't have magnet, so the cover is allways getting opened. I don't recommed this case

I got mine shipped from China in a little over a week, so fairly quick (ordered via AliExpress). It fits, but it's a little more difficult to press the side buttons with the case on. Of course it's harder to press the buttons accidentally in a pocket too, so maybe that's the idea. The cover does fold over, but doesn't lie perfectly flat, at least not initially - the hinge might flex a bit more over time. The cover is fairly stiff and sits a few mm above the screen when closed, so it provides protection against rubbing and scratching. Mine has a black exterior, as ordered, but weirdly the interior is beige, which seems a bit off. It comes with 2 screen covers which seem to be about the right size (didn't bother trying them) and a couple small polishing cloths. Not sure I would bother using this case all the time, but for occasional protection - sure, why not.
