First, I'm not a current owner of a Z3C but I'm planning to buy it in 3 months because of it's awesome camera, battery and Hi-res audio support
I just started this thread because, since the poor Sony costumer service , and my paranoia about the "hidrofobic coating" getting messed up with salty/chlorine water of the Z3C. I found this:
I'm new so i can't post links but just go to seashell.hk and look in the products tab for the iPhone 5 case housing

Ok ok i Know it's for iPhone 5/5S/5C BUT! when you check what comes in the package, you found this beauty: IMG (2)
So, as you can see comes with a cushions set, so you can customize the position of the phone into the case, and as this image indicates:
It's a huge difference in the camera position, a plus for this case it's that you can download the camera app to properly use the Seashell Case, based on the theory of align the Z3C on the case, I guess the physical buttons will not fit the Seashell´s camera app buttons
Sounds funny why I started the thread, but I´ve seen a lot of users complaining about how their phones died after two or three submersions on sea water, or in the other hand people who it's happy because never have failed after shooting underwater, and of course I don't want to be the unlucky one...
Finally I found this case:
[/ATTACH]
Seems practical since it's a standard case almost look as a daily use case, but I found a problem, and it's that the case have a blurry section of the plastic, and as it's not a firmly shaped plastic that covers the cameraa as the first case I presented you I guess you can't take nice shoots underwater
Just wash it with freshwater once you get out of the pool/sea.
Nothing to worry about, and most of all, nothing worth spending money in.
AFAIK the Z series does not use hydrophobic coating for water proofing, but instead uses a plain old waterproof cabinet where the water never gets to the sensitive parts in te first place. Where have you seen that it used hydrophobic coatings?

They might use them for the speaker, mic, headphone jack and other "holes" that are necessary in the case.

That subject line sounds almost kinky... Lol. Anyway, before I get off-topic, I just got a cover for my Elf from eBay. Unfortunately, it isn't the best quality, but for what I paid ($9.99 excl postage) it was definitely worth it. With currency conversion and shipping to SA, it came to about R120 where as a local equivalent would be close to R300.....
Anyway, the front flap folds down, hinged at the bottom behind the USB connector, and with a clip that goes over the top of the speaker and over to the back. The clip, however, is not in the right place and so it's very tight. I don't have a camera handy, but here is an image of what the cover looks like:

(please excuse the 'eWWT' name on it, this image is from an eBay listing by Easy World Wide Trading)
I'm thinking about trying to remove the clip that goes over the top in favour of having either two small magnets or two small pieces of velcro to hold the flap shut. Only thing is, either way it would need to go on the front above the screen, one in each corner.
What I'd like to know is this, are those small magnetic pads on the belt pouches (where you must remove the device to use it) strong enough to cause a problem being that close to the device all the time? Another thing to keep in mind is I only have one arm thanks to a motorbike accident, so having a tight clip around the back makes things difficult..
I have a similar Leather case even I would like to know whether the magnet at the back side cause any battery drain or harm the speakers anything..pls Reply
The price is attractive, but the outlook and the design looks outdated

Lol.. Leooooooo, this is a rather old thread... In the end I just cut the flap off and I use it like that. May be considered an 'outdated design', but it's practical and I like it. Still using the same pouch today and I'm happy with it.
I'm looking for a thin light attractive folding smart case for mt G10.1
Ive narrowed it down to 2 but I am open to others.
some of the things I am looking for..
Hard case back. and the ability to prop it at a slight angle for typing on a desktop or 45 ish degree for watching movies ect.
well protected edges
also the ability to prop it with the tablet upside down so i can use the Dock connecter for USB/Memory cards
the 2 that fit the bill are the Samsung hard case and the Ebay Smart covers.
I really Like the looks of the official Samsung case & the way it shuts securely though I am not sure how the areas it bends at will hold up over time, especially at the price they go for. It also doesn't seem like its very stable when propped up on a desk at a slight angle ( for typing )

The alternative are the Ebay smart covers with a hard back.
not really fond of the color schemes they come in but they arent bad. the price is good, I like the way it props up but I dont know if Ive seen any with a cover that shuts securely. Does anyone know of any ?
I have this one from Amazon and it has held up fine for the last 4 months...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005PC7VG4/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
I don't know if it meets all your criteria, but the price is good, the quality is very good, and it works.
The ebay one doesn't, I have one and the cover just flaps around but at the price it is what would you expect? The covers magnetic for creating a triangle for upright viewing but doesn't hold itself against the screen when covering it.
Thanks. Mine just showed up today. fits nice and snug. all the cut outs are where needed. I like everything other than it not closing securely, but as you said for the $ its still a good deal.
Im sure I can come up with something. I just need to make sure it looks nice and not slopped on
Hi,
I came across this interesting picture, where you can clearly see that the metal bands from Motorola have a plastic piece/adapter that fits inside the watch. Even the larger 23mm bands have this piece from what I can see, their first part is in fact narrower than 23mm and fits inside this adapter.

The original article is here: http://www.slashgear.com/gold-moto-360-hands-on-lets-talk-smartwatch-luxury-06354400/
Let's hope they release the adapter separately so we aren't forced to buy the $80 band if we want a metal one
After looking at multiple photos, none are detailed enough, but it looks like the plastic adapter is actually a spacer since the metal band is much smaller where it connects with the watch itself...disappointing, in order to use this spacer, the leather bands would have to be changed to fit at the initial connections on the watch...narrow them down and then widen them out like the metal band.
is it just me or does the watch on the right look like its got some issues with the back?

Yes, it looks like hairline cracks are creeping around from the adapters...might be a reason there are no high detailed photos on the web.
Here's a High res of the watches. You can clearly see the spacer if you zoom in.

i've seen the spacer in the press release. here's the thing, unless there's some magic trickery holding that spacer in place, it's still putting pressure on the back. the spacer would basically occupy the entire space which means the back would effectively hold it in (or rather stable, since the pin is holding it in place).
i take it back. the spacer is formed with a lip "resting" against the back part. seems like they're using it as a buffer/spacer.
So I bought my red and shiny Devilcase after my screen shattered while using a beloved Rockit flipcase.
This is for anyone that want to use a Magtron adapter with a cover that is not compatible.
Tools needed:
- Sandpaper/Dremel tool (see picture)
- Patience
Optional:
- Fine grain sandpaper
Step one:

As you can see my result is not very polished because I don't really care about the look of the adapter, I need it to work and I don't wanna risk to damage the goddamn flap every time I charge the phone.
DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible for any damage you may cause to your stuff or yourself.
TESTED IT WITH DEVILCASE AND Z3C.
hey mate, I've got the black devilcase on my Z3C atm and was actually just the other day considering purchasing one of these adapters. So thanks for posting this, looks like a simple mod. (I've already got a dremel).
Do you have a set of verniers handy? It would be cool to know how many millimeters I need to shave off, although in your photos it looks like about 1mm?
Glad it helped! 1mm around the plugs and 0.5mm below the plugs. Make few tries, if you sand too little you can sand a bit more, if you sand too much you may face a problem. It takes 5 minutes with a Dremel.
Nice!
Im now buying the Z3C and havent got the magnetic adapter/cable yet.
Im planning to use DevilCase too..is there any cable or adapters(preferably) that fits well without enhancements?

I am currently using this cable with the devil case. Fits perfect. Only reason I'm looking at the adapter is I'm planning to make a car cradle that charges the phone
Expensive! aren't there adapters maybe?
Sure is, the ones referenced in the first post.

I am always horrified when it comes to water and phones; the two should never mingle. At the beach one day, I noticed the clear aqua blue water for miles and wanted to capture this breath-taking view from in the water under but I know I would need an expensive underwater camera to do so. I order this product specifically because of the overwhelming response of positive reviews. My experience yet so far this week has been nothing short of awesome. This is perfect for taking pictures underwater, while snorkeling. I was worried that having the screen would mess up the responsiveness of the touch screen but there were no issues at all. I'm just happy I don't have to bring a separate waterproof camera. Great buy!
Materials: High quality construction, everything feels very durable and has a nice weight without feeling cheap or heavy. I was also happy that there was no strong or strange smell on the product as many of the newer things I buy end up needing to be aired out.
Pro's
- I've submerged my phone in the bathroom sink for a few minutes taking pictures and shooting videos.
- I've showered with it and yet to see a single drop of water inside the case when the iPhone was removed.
- The touch screen in the front and the camera in the back were all accessible while in the case.
Con's
- The only thing i wish it had was access to the top and side buttons. They can still be pressed so it doesn't really bother me much.
- It would be great if it came in a completely clear plastic, to allow for more visual support.
I also have found a deal for this waterproof case at http://deals.kinja.com/, now the price is only 6,99 $ with code: NZG26DKJ
Details: http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Waterproof-Case-Motorola-diagonal/dp/B01CSH93UK/
I had intended to buy a waterproof case JOTO, but when i see this post,i change my mind. A waterproof case Turata at 6.99USD and 7.99USD for JOJO, there is no big difference in terms of functionality. So why not choose one more cheaper. @Glaxaymixc, thanks for sharing this good deals.
Yeah, of course. so i choosed the cheaper one, but it is also very good.
