I have tried a few cases (normal cases, not flip cases) for my Z3c and the difference in quality between them and Apple's official leather cases is huge. Apple's leather cases are in a class of their own. But the Z3 Compact deserves better. If anyone can point me to a black leather case for my Z3 Compact that has the same or similar quality of the iPhone cases, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
You may try noreve.com cases. If you want high quality and pay premium prices.

have you found any leather cases at all that aren't folio/flip?
Tuff-luv.com is bringing quality leather cases in a couple of weeks. Worth the wait.

Actually no. The cases I tried are made of TPU and cheap plastic.
Not sure what type of case you're looking for.
I suspect he is talking about something like this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MGR62ZM/A/iphone-6-leather-case-black
Might try asking Noreve to handmake one without a cover.
You know what I'd like? A real simple leather back skin like Dbrands, except actual leather, not vinyl. Anybody seen anything like that? Same thing except wood would be awesome too.

You could always try getting one of the leather flip cases (I have seen a few for the Z3 compact) and cutting off the flip part... seems like a fairly minor operation, though it would void any warranty/returnability I suspect.
I may try and make my own leather case like the Iphone cases, have been making some knife sheaths out of water hardened leather recently and I could see that working well for a phone case. Especially since that gives me the flexibility of putting openings where I want them and choosing my own leather color.

I highly recommend Bouletta, had one of their leather pouch cases for my HTC One M7 which was fantastic. They are real premium cases -great high quality leather, solid stitching, strong magnetic clasp and fit the phone like a glove. I have one coming for my z3c this Christmas

Lol how can you tell leather quality from a picture? No way to tell if a leather is good quality or not (unless its moldy or the tanning/dye process was really screwed up) from images, you have to hold and smell it to get a real feel for that. You may not like a particular grain pattern, but thats just subjective "beauty in the eyes of the beholder".
Anyhow I use a Mag X charging cable so long as that fits I'm good, never liked any of the docks I saw.

I ordered the black one and another person on this thread did so too.
It's a bit pricy, but I like the design. I hope it isn't too heavy or bulky. What's the use having the lightest phone out there to burden it down with a bad case. I also picked up one of the cheap <$5 silicon gel cases. Had good experiences with those in the past, but they are a bit bulky.

Yeah, it's a little pricey, but I like when I find something "Different". I've never seen something quite like these.
$18 isn't more than what T-Mobile wants. This case looks pretty nice though, not as bulky. I'm buying this one and the leather one from Zenus because it looks really good too. Now that one is pricey at about $40...
Bought a red one also last week. It's the color that stands outs to me. Also ordered a jelly case for full protection when I need it.
so are these made out of the same thing as the gel skins? like silicone?
or are they more of a hard material with a rubbery finish?
I love this unique design. It definitely stands out. I'm thinking of ordering the red or green case. Thanks for the link.
really like the design but there's an extra cutout on the top right corner above the camera

LoL seller doesn't know about the Vibrant, but he might be getting more business from all the Tmobile buyer folks in the US.
Will this fit? According to both T-Mobile website specs and GSMArena specs the Vibrant is .3mm wider than the Origional SGS.
Origional SGS: 122.4 x 64.2 x 9.9 mm Source
Vibrant: 122.4 x 64.5 x 9.9 mm Source and Here (you will have to do inch to mm conversion but comes out to same as gsmarena)
P.S. The T-Mobile website says 2.5" but its actually 2.54".

1mm is like smaller than 1/16 of an inch. Your talking .3mm. For Gel cases it should not be an issue. This is a plastic "premium flexible polycarbonate" so it might be a problem, but the design with the extra cutouts on the short sides should allow some flex to the long sides. We won't know for sure till someone gets their case.
not are you sure it will fit?? iam planning to buy i9000 case for vibrant?

Mine shipped yesterday. I should get it in about 5-10 business days. So if it doesn't fit I'll have wasted $20. So it better fit.
I'd recommend getting one of the cheap <$5 soft gel cases from eBay and wait for some feedback on this case.

Yeah, all of the cases for the i9000 will have that extra cutout. It's for the TV antenna that Korean phones have (which we in the US will likely not get to experience anytime soon - HOORAY FOR THE FCC!).

Got a PM from the seller today that another of his US Vibrant buyers had confirmed that the case fits. I hope to get mine soon and I'll post pictures.
http://shop.ebay.com/shimshop/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340
It would be nice to get all of your feedbacks when you receive the cases. Photos would be appreciated too!

I most definitely will!
Got my mesh case in the mail today. Bought them on the 20th, so delivered from Korea in 6 days. Not bad.
Got them from this seller on eBay. Bought both the mesh and jelly cases. As part of his promo he included free screen protectors and added an additional clear jelly case for getting back to him if his cases fit the Vibrant (which they do!)
Note: The free case and screen protectors were a special gift and a separate promo. I'm not saying everyone will get it. You can ask, but don't bug the seller if he doesn't give you one. If it ain't listed on the eBay listing, you ain't got squat.
First the pictures from the mesh case. The case has a nice snug fit and almost feels metallic. The cutouts fit perfectly, but due to the hard plastic feel sharper edged than the jelly case. Weight-wise it pretty light and actually makes the Vibrant more wieldly because without a case the Vibrant is almost too light.
Here are the pictures of the Jelly case. I got both a clear and black one, but I prefer the black one better and that is what I am using now. The soft silicone is slick enough so that it doesn't feel sticky, but also prevents the Vibrant from sliding around when you put it into your car dashboard (still waiting for my mount). I'm not so hot on the crystal design on the back, but thankfully it isn't too obvious with the darker case.
Here are the pictures. The majority of the picture show the darker "black" case. The clear case is shown in 9263, 9264 and 9265 for comparison.
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.

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...

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.
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.

I have the nillkin nature TPU case. Perfect fit, and only 0.5-0.6mm thickness. Not much "bulk" added at all when used.

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
So I'm waiting on my OnePlus 3T. Other than that the overpriced Otterbox and what's OK Amazon, has anyone found a good rugged case that doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone? Thanks.

I found this Orzly's case so good, maybe too width for you though. Look up for "Orzly® Grip-Pro Case" (XDA does not allow me to share links yet)

Might want to look at the Cruzerlite Spartan case. http://www.cruzerlite.com/spartan-dual-layer-case-for-oneplus-three-oneplus-3

Some people might say that an Otterbox case is overpriced. While I agree that they are certainly costly compared to other cases out there, they do offer some pretty good protection. I see it like this... Some people get insurance on their phone because they know that one day they might need to make a claim and get a replacement phone. Me personally, I've never had insurance on a phone and have also never broken a phone. So instead of paying a monthly fee for something that might happen, I pay a one time fee to ensure that I'm getting good protection on a costly device. With that said I do have an Otterbox case for my OnePlus 3T and so far it's been great.
You can take a look at Poetic Cases. I'm rocking now the Revolution on my Moto Z Play, model made for Z Force, and I can tell you, for under 20$, u cannot find other 2 pieces case with protection on display, some plastic. The plastic will scratch easily but in the end, not the shell worth, just the nucleus . It's a little bulky, steady in hands and the back piece is made from hard plastic and the edges of it from some nice good TPU.
Sorry for my bad english skills. Hope you got the ideea.
anyone thinking about rhinoshield? (https://rhinoshield.io/collections/oneplus-3)
I saw a video on youtube where a dude using this bumper case on his 3, tried getting the phone damaged by dropping the phone from various heights. the phone was unscathed even after falling from 22 ft (2 storey up). however in general usage, the phone will (likely) not be falling from a 2 storey building but a user's pocket height, so the case seems good. however, at 25 USD, it feels a bit pricier. but i guess that's a better protection/weight tradeoff than most fully phone covers.
what's your opinion guys?
I use a Spigen Neo Hybrid Case on my 3T and I love it!!!
Good protection yet slim (adds 3,25mm thickness) and beautiful!
For my eyes it is the best looking case out there that adds enough protection.
And even the price is not bad with 14,99 Euro here in Germany or I think $17,99 on amazon.com.

I have this case. Works well, and will work with the oneplus 2 holster from Seidio if you are so inclined. Also works with the TGSP without causing the edges to lift up.
Definitely would recommend and second the spigen case.

The faux carbon fiber look at the top is great too, gives a D-Brand kind of feel to it.

Could you give me precise measurement of the case (with calipers )? I'm currently using a Tudia Merge (rugged dual layer) and I find it kinda wide and thick (that's what she said...). This Spigen looks good, but I don't want to spend yet another $10-$15 if they're the same.

Oh, I didn't think about that. Sometime they do put them a bit smaller than real life, but I guess I can still get an idea about it.

It's covering the microphone on the back!
The answer is OtterBox always. I have it in black and it feels awesome. Best protective case.
Picked up the Otterbox when I ordered my phone. Not sure how $25 is considered overpriced for the protection you want.
You get what you pay for.
