Z3C Carbon Fibre Skins - Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories

I just put this one on my Z3C, a not too bad carbon fibre-effect vinyl decal (I just used the back though):
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Xperia-COMPACT-Textured-Sticker-Black/dp/B00O45EEN6
Pros: cheap (£4.99), has cutouts for Sony & NFC logos, fits snugly, easy to apply, and looks really smart with a slight matte texture. And no fingerprints, hooray!
Cons: not very grippy, slips about on table & in hand, obviously better than the glass, but definitely feels like vinyl.
I just noticed that the Skinzone one has now become available for the Z3C too, but it's a little pricey at 18 euro:
http://skinzone.eu/themes/carbon-sp...ia-z1-xperia-z3-compact/36-943-4-22-2183.html
I had this on the Z1C, it was very grippy and pleasant to hold - a bit rubbery, even. That phone seriously stuck to any table/hand like a limpet with the skin on! Maybe I'll order it too if it gets a good review from someone here

So I would assume you would apply the vinyl to the top of the screen protector if you had one. Wonder how that would stick/fit?

I'm looking for something that increases the grip too but I really don't want a themed cover.. plain black is all I need!

I wouldn't really want to use the front and side parts, tbh - look a bit fugly to me - and on the back you don't need a protector, so it just pops straight on the glass. No bubbles or marks, actually looks like the phone came out of the factory this way ... glass is nice to look at, but just so completely unergonomic in practice.
They do plain matte ones too, I'm pretty sure!

I made my own CF skin using left over 3M dinoc CF vinyls. I cut the decal using a Silhouette Cameo.

Did you use an x-acto knife as well? I've tried cutting skins and it never turns out well no matter how sharp of a tool I use.

Nope. The cutting machine(cameo) did all the cutting. Came out pretty much perfect.

I misunderstood what you used. I thought you used a cutout of the back as a template.

Personally, I'm waiting for dbrand to release their skins for the Z3C.

Here's the XtremeSkins one with the logo cutouts (sorry for the crappy pic):

You said in the original post this was fairly grippy on previous phones, still the case after you've got this one?

No, the XtremeSkins one is slippier than the Skinzone one, but actually fits better and looks smarter. Tradeoff ... I'm happy for now

Skinzone was "slighltly" overprices...just checked and not anymore http://skinzone.eu/themes/carbon-sp...pact-xperia-z3-compact/36-1689-4-22-2183.html. Here some more pics https://plus.google.com/u/2/b/105054727056767638827/105054727056767638827/posts/bVnQJjSawkA

Unfortunately they do not have any Wooden Design from what I can see, which is what I am looking for. BTW, how do you find these Skins? I cant find them using Google, if I Search for "Z3 Compact Skin" I just find Screen protektors or cases, when I search for "Z3 Compact Design (Skin)" I never find anything...

Amazon has a good few skins for the Z3 Compact. They also have some wooden ones, aswell as Metallic/Brushed Metal ones ... I've yet to try one myself but you can pick some up for as little as £4.99, which makes it worth a punt IMO.
Personally though I'm holding out for dBrand to come to the party ... Here's a link for one of them, a little more pricey though:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Skinomi®-Te...2WSW/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A37EMETMDONHCS

Sorry for the late reply... That Skinomi is also the only one looking good and available in Germany... But it's 20€ + shipping fee here, which is a little bit ridiculous for a little bit of plastic foil... I've made a request at dBrand, they say they'll have a skin till the end of November. You have any clue what the international shipping fee will be? I found no other way to find it out than buying a skin from them...

When I bought a drand skin for my Z2 back in june the shipping to Finland was $5.00 CAD.

Skins at dBrand online
dBrand started "preorders" (is says they ship beginning today, no clue why they call them preorders) for skins for our Z3c today:
https://dbrand.com/shop/xperia-z3-compact

I've just bought mine. I'll come back when it arrives with my impressions ☺

Thanks for the heads up. I ordered a Red Carbon Fiber for the back, I'm actually going to attempt to install it on my Cruzerlite or Ringke Fusion case and not on the phone.

dunno about the s2 models, but the pictures for the galaxy note looks like it doesnt provide enough corner protection. when you drop a phone, its 90% likely to land on a corner first, so corner protection is important.

Exactly what I was talking about.
Apart from not having a 'Galaxy Note' label it takes forever to arrive to Italy.
Did anybody see something similar in Europe?

sure, will do.
I got the black mesh yesterday. I really like it. Looks good, feels good. Adds about 2mm to total width. I think it covers corners well enough to protect Pretty well, but it does leave the top and bottom and half of each corner exposed. Sure does squelch the accidental hitting of volume and power buttons, which was a major goal. Fits fine into PU "leather" belt case I got.

To my surprise, the bubble case has arrived today...very fast postage, only took about a week
Anyways....here are some pictures and my thoughts about it, comparing to the Nillkin TPU case.
# The black part of the back of the case is actually of hard plastic material, and the grey sides of the case are of TPU. It kind of remind me of the Commuter Series of Otterbox, but instead of being 2 pieces, it's all in one piece. It does feel cheaper than OtterBox though....well...IT IS...
# It fits the phone really well and covers the edges of the screen a bit better than the Nillkin ones.
# I'm not sure if it is because of the hard plastic at the back...but it is actually quite hard to put the case on without feeling that I might somehow scratch the sides of the phone. But if you don't have a habit of taking the case off frequently, it will not be a problem to you. If you do...then...this will definitely cause you some pain.
# I think the dimensions of this case are a bit wider, longer, and thicker than the Nillkin....but NOT that much.
# The unlock and volume buttons are HARDER to press than the Nillkin case
# The glossy back bubble offers great look and also good grip (surprisingly).
All in all...I am very happy with this case...and personally I prefer this one than the Nillkin because of it's cool looks and the mixed of materials of hard plastic and TPU (somehow I think it might provide better protection).
So, anyways...I hope this helps and also hope to hear others opinions soon...
Feel free to ask me any questions if you have any

Hi DMax!
Thanks for the wonderful review!!! i am sold over it now!
Just wanted to ask if it really is anti-slip, as the note is thin and big, its quiet slippery now.
and also if the back is glossy, do you think its so "glossy" that its going to show up scratches real soon???
Thanks mate!
EDIT:
Do you think this is the same one -
http://www.obostore.com/hole-hard-plastic-case-skin-faceplate-for-samsung-galaxy-note-p-3926.html
only for US$3.99 with free shipping!
The ebay seller mentions no shipping to India in his listing
EDIT 2:
Bought the white bubble case from Obostore, what the heck, lets see how good this is!: )
Also ordered the Black Mesh case from an eBay seller for US $4.50. hope the quality n fit is good! last time I had a mesh case for my Galaxy S and the rubber coating started peeling off in a months time!!! had to thrown it away as it started looking ugly!
hi everybody!i received today this one:

Wow...3.99 is a very good price...i git mine 9.99 from eBay....im pretty sure they are the same
yep mate, sure sounds a great deal.. as the ebay seller wasn't shipping to India, I started searching other sites for thi, and found it at obostore. I have bought stuff from them before, and they are good.
Will upload pics after I get it. Ordered white here so that if quality isnt good, then can order black from the ebay guy if he agrees to ship here.

FULL Bamboo Case, NOT ORIGINAL! PICS UP!

Found this on Amazon. Couldn't help but order it. Less than $15 shipped and real wood! Received it today. I'm actually quite impressed with it. Forgot to mention, shipping said 14-31 business days but I received it in one week.
Pros:
-Real Wood
-Looks great
-Great fit
-Low Price
-Crafted well
Cons:
-A bit thick. Makes the phone a little bit big (with an already big phone) in the hand.
-Power port cutout is a little small. One of my old cables wouldn't fit.
-Due to thickness, it can be a little tough to reach the power and volume buttons.
-No 'snap' to hold the case together. It just slides, I don't know if it would wear fast or not. There is, however, a metal plan with nobbies on it that help hold it in place.
As promised, here are pictures. The first 2 are with and without flash to get a good look at the wood tone. I think it looks great.

Nice looking case, except how the wood looks like it's clumsily glued together in the middle. Does it look like that in person?

That isn't where it glues together, that is where you snap the case together. Pictures should be up shortly.
Looks like a nice case although the line is very visible. I guess thats better than having a hard snap on case where u have to force the phone to be removed.

Agreed the line is very visible but you have to keep in mine that this is wood, not plastic. Wood can't be molded like plastic, it's crafted.
I'm very interested, does the cover have lips in case you put your telephone face down on the table?
And if you have a 0.3mm tempered glass screen protector?

Thank you very much; I've ordered mine too.
I prefer it over the 'original' back cover bamboo case because the original one shows a bit of brown plastic and also I think (the original one) is meant to be used without any cover case to show the beautyness of the bamboo cover.
As this is a true COVER, I think it will protect our phones a bit, and as you confirmed it allows the use of a glass screen protector, I think it's perfect.
I'm a bit concerned because of the mechanism to separate the two pieces of the cover, but I think I won't doubt to glue them together if necessary (as the cover is cheap and the battery is not removable...)
Thank you for sharing this piece of natural art...
How does the cover hold in place still a bit confused. Is there A mechanism or requires actual glue?

I have had bad experience with slide on cases in the past... Next thing you know you have a nicely straight scratch on your phone. You have to be extra careful putting it on and taking it off. Good looking case tho.
There's a few different places to get it from in UK. Good find. Just waiting till a few people get it and give there opinions

Genuine Wood Cover for Xperia Z3 Compact

HI everyone
I just want to share with you some impressions about my "balolo" wood cover, which I received about 5 weeks ago.
When I got my Xperia Z3 Compact last year I instantly bought a case in the first few days. But I must say that I prefer to hold my device "naked" in my hands without any disturbing material around the edges. A friend of mine told me to have a look on the products of "balolo".
I ordered a genuine wood cover and engraved it with a picture of me and my girlfriend. In the first two oder three days the cover was smelling like wood (what should be quite normal for a product made out of genuine wood). The quality of the (walnut) wood is very good and also the engraving looks perfect.
But the best thing about it was the price: 29€ for something I expected to cost a least twice of it! After 5 weeks of using it I can´t say anything negative about it (except you don´t like the wood smell in the first days), so from my point of view a clearly recommendation!!

It sticks onto the back of the phone with a 3M peel-off sticky backing. It's not really a case, more a textured back covering the glass. It won't provide any protection to the sides or front (although I believe you can get a front glass protector with it too - but I suspect that is much like any other stick on screen protector).
I was a little disappointed with this when it arrived, but actually found it looked good, and I could still used the Ringke Fusion case on top to provide some more substantial protection to the phone itself. Actually, the Fusion case fits even better with the relatively thin wooden backing on the phone.
Here's mine. I didn't realize it was just a sticker for the back either, but it looks great without adding thickness to the sides of the phone. I think I'll keep it on.
The only drawback is how it adds an edge around the back. Its not a sharp edge, but you can definitely feel it while holding the phone.

Xperia Z4 Case list and Tempered Glass list

So far otterbox and spigen etc. seems are busy on samsung galaxy case,and there are no Z4 Cases on their sites, my Z4 is on the way and look for a solid case&glass to get protection, any reliable ones to recommend ?
Where did you order it from?
did you search in sonymobile dot com ?

If you go on Amazon it should be pretty easy to find, there are a few good companies out there doing cases and screens for this handset. I would generally go with what I know, and also look at the customer reviews.

They are like queen and king in phone case industry. They both look stylish and sturdy. You can check them out on amazon for price, at least affordable to me.
They look very nice. Thanks for sharing.
If you go on Ebay it should be pretty easy to find, there are a few good companies out there doing cases and screens for this handset. I would generally go with what I know.
I have bought some from witrigs no matter the case, tempered glass or replacement parts.
Has anyone had any experiences with a bumper case for the Z3+, for instance this one here:

Considering the back remains uncovered: how scratch resistant is the back generally? Is it Gorilla Glass?
Thanks!

I've got that case; it's pretty good, has a lip to keep the screen off the surface of a table if you put it face down. Main downside is that the SIM/MicroSD card tray is cut out so the surrounding plastic on the screen surface is thin. Over time I'm worried this may get weakened.
The Ringke Fusion looks good, however the one I had for the Samsung S4 had issues putting in large headphone jacks (e.g. Etymotic ER-4, Sony MDR-7506) and the headphone jack hole on the Z3+ case looks even smaller if that's possible. No issues with headphone jacks and the Spigen .
A while ago I ordered this case:
http://www.banggood.com/Nillkin-Sup...k-Cover-Case-For-Sony-Xperia-Z4-p-991532.html
Takes a while to be delivered, a month for me, but it really is a nice case. Pretty slim, but it is is rather firm. Adds a nice grip to the phone, due to the 'soft' feel of the plastic. It covers just the back and the left and right side, but it's edges extend just half a millimeter to protect the other sides of the the phone as well, even when it lies face down. The holes for all the buttons are nice and tidy. And bang-for-the-buck-wise, it really is a no brainer
Got the Spigen one because I got tired of the flip cover I had been using. Very nice. Not pretty, but feels good in the hand and very robust. Why oh why does it have to have the silly "air cushion technology" text at the bottom, though?
Got the Spigen case and it looks great on my white Xperia™ Z3+ Dual.☺

I haven't been using any case or anything with my Z3+ since I bought it. The back is as extremely polished as the front, so it is super slippery in almost any surface where you'd put it - seriously, very slippery; it's like my Z2 wasn't half as polished. As a result, mine already shows a few very minor scratches from the various surfaces I've parked it on, and a very light one over the camera glass. It seems that the back is not as resistant as the front, though - the same week that I bought it, I accidentaly dropped my Z3+ on the rough floor of an old church (it was during a marriage ceremony, very silent atmosphere at the moment and just imagine how I wanted to scream and swear all sorts of bad words when that happened!); "fortunately" it landed on its back, but it made a very noticeable scratch Because of all of this, I just bought a silicone case. I hate cases because they fundamentally alter the immediate look of the device, but unfortunately it gets too much exposed without one.

Slimmest case available for the HTC 10?

I currently own the Spigen Neo Hybrid, which I thought was slim:

But it's not that much, really... The slimmest I could find was the Spigen Thin Fit, but it's not that much slimmer:
Is there anything slimmer out there?
I have that case... Try using it without the border....
I also have the seidio case... I just use the inner cushion part... It doubles as a thin case cuz I can see their logo on it... I don't think you can go much thinner
I didn't measure but I have a cheap Chinese TPU case and it looks less than a mm. It was less than $1 shipped.
I have the nillkin nature TPU case. Perfect fit, and only 0.5-0.6mm thickness. Not much "bulk" added at all when used.

Don't really like it without the border and it's still too bulky.

I don't really like those kind of "translucent" cases... Had one for my previous phone and with time it became yellowish and ugly.
I also have the Nillkin nature, and yeah, most of these transparent cases do discolor over time, but for only $5 I'll pick up another one when that happens. As far as the case itself goes, I had one of those $1 TPU cases and the mold was a little loose, in particular the sides had a tendency to bulge outwards so I would definitely check the reviews and images before pulling the trigger on one of those. The Nillkin one is pretty spot on and the buttons feel much clickier. Nillkin also have a hard case that's almost as thin as the Nature case, I'll put a link below:

+1 for the Nillkin, I also have this, some months now and not even remotely going yellow.
I have had cheap brand ones in the past that went yellow before now so holding hope this one will not do that.
Good case, light, slim and easy to remove if wanting to run naked around the streets for a bit

I am really liking this case, the pictures look great.
I am currently enjoying the Spigen thin Fit case, but will be grabbing one of these, thanks for sharing. :good:
--------------
I had a 'barely there' case by Casemate on my M8, and was hoping they would bring it to the 10, but it seems they have discontinues that case for whatever reason.
Watch out for the spigen case, it has some issues with flash when using the camera. Otherwise it's solid.

This is the one I bought: link
It doesn't look exactly like the picture, but it was really inexpensive. I like the look of the HTC 10 so I got a clear case. I also figured that if it yellows a bit, I could always get a replacement for really cheap.

For that price I can jump on board, thanks for sharing.
Mind posting some actual pictures of the case on and off the phone, please? :good:

Thank you kindly, looks real nice, especially for that price.
Do you suggest it?
I do. I have a more rugged case also, but only use that rarely because I feel safe enough with the thin case.
Thanks. Bought 3 of them just in case they get yellowish since they are so cheap and if I don't like it, well, too bad...
I've been rocking the Imak cowboy case (there's a review of it somewhere here). Keep in mind it'll probably have little impact protection but if all you're needing is scratch protection I find it perfect.
Slimmest case by far for me would be the included case from Yelun that was bundled with the TGSP. I've gone used only the HTC Ice View, Nillkin, and Spigen Crystal (I think).

I grabbed 2 myself.
For 77 cents, can't go wrong.
I'm at that point where I love my 10 but no longer treat it like a baby, so I still want some protection against surface scratches and what not, but still want to be able to enjoy the device.
Hopefully it holds up as well as the M8 did for me. Bought it on release day, used it up until the 10 release day, in just a slim case, not screen protector, and it's still in mint condition.
X-Level probably makes some of the best slim cases I have ever used. I first discovered them for my M8 when I visited Hong Kong and I've gotten them for all my phones since then: http://www.ebay.com/itm/X-Level-Lux...hash=item1a1de87d40:m:m4lwJH0dcr1dceg1As9H-EQ
They're also really cheap which is nice.
This is one of the nicest and slimmest that I've used: http://www.ebay.com/itm/360-Protect...hash=item3d2066daa1:m:mJx-cwyQu1UTdGuV1gRW8gw
