Spigen Neo Hybrid + Carbon Skin

I usually don't like the bulk that cases add to the phone but with a toddler girl I definately need a good protection. I bought the neo hydbrid and I really like it, i have some carbon look vinyl around and decided to make an skin to apply it the slippery back.
Here's how it looks

Here's the die (cut lines) in pdf, feel free to use is to cut what ever your want or modified it. Remember is a cut out for Neo Hybrid cases.

Beautiful, though I disagree on how significant the bulk added by the neo hybrid is. It's a protective case, any thinner and there would be no protection.
A plastic shell is pointless, imo, except to protect scratches, which a full body skin does better.

that looks awesome! I was thinking about doing something like that with a dbrand skin on the back of the neo hybrid or ultra slim case

Yes that's my taught, it adds some bulk but nothing significant like you said. I prefer the neo hybrid over anything available.

You can save the pdf I attached, and go to a print shop or anyone with a vinyl cutter and cut any vinyl. Dont know if dbrand do customs cut.

how much would it cost for u to print a carbon cutout and mail it to me? no vinyl shops around here lol

Let me know your zip code to see if shipping is not going to cost too much, i'm outside of the USA, or contact pmoradi2002 here in the xgear vinyl skins to see if he can help you.

Very nice!
I agree the neo hybrid is a really good case, not sure why people dont like it. Everywhere I take my phone people ask what kind of phone is that and when i pop the case off they had no idea it was a case they were looking at. It looks that good.

It is a nice case. My wife keeps saying it makes my phone look like an iPhone. She knows how to wind me up. I went on the xgear website. It would be good if they made skins for the Neo Hybrid case. I'd buy one.

that carbon + case combo looks really good, nice job.

i wanna have one cut for me too. that looks awesome as hell :good:

i didn´t have the carbon vinyl so........
doesn´t look quite good but its ok to me for now...
what do you guys think?

Love my neo hybrid, only complaint is that the headphone cutout is too small for my ath m50 headphones.

Well, at least no one will ever want to touch or steal your phone!
Also looks like you now have added grip :thumbup:.

so the side is smooth and the back is soft touch/matte but slippery and shows fingerprints?
I really like the feel of the buttons (size/texture/give/etc), how does this case obfuscate them? a bit? a lot?
Thanks

For me the buttons are perfect, with the Google Bumper you have to push with a lot of effort on the buttons.
The back its slippery but it doesn't show fingerprints.

Has anyone else done this with one of those ready made skins (i.e: Debrand, slickwraps etc.) ? How is the fit ? I prefer buying such a skin over cutting one myself because I like to have the nexus logo cutout, prefer a matte black skin (or perhaps a black leather texture) and down here in Australia buying a vinyl sticker paper would probably end up costing more than one of those skins anyway, so why bother ?

Here is my Neo Hybrid in Silver with the dbrand black leather back skin that was given to me as a gift. Turned out great!
Will be purchasing more dbrand skins in the near future!

Nice! I never thought of doing this til now! This is a great alternative to the aluminum bumper! Thanks everyone!

I just used the cutout to make a carbon fiber wrap for the back of my neo hybrid. Thanks! I had some 1080 3m vinyl laying around that I got for the interior of my truck.

No clear/transparent cases to reveal the back?

Ordered a moto X this week (Navy back, white front and silver case...can't find a transparent hard case that shows the back...all cases so far seem to be opaque. The diztronic one has a matte finish..Any pointers?

You could try this one:

I can't personally speak for that one, but I can for these:

Only the symbols/lines and sides are completely transparent, but I thought they looked nice with the custom backs. They are also very snug and solid. So tight, in fact, that you need to be very careful putting it on if you have a screen protector.
Also, it's B2G1 on those.

Air Jacket is clean and shows off the back and our corporate logo perfect.
Good protection have dropped 2 times both glass 1st and back 1st no damage.
Plus the side case edge matched the Moto X choice great for the buttons and camera ring.
You can feel the dimple on the phone as that part of the case is open.
Power Supply was a little slow to respond on questions on there FB page but very happy with the product!

I bought one from Ebay and it is okay. The price was less than $5. Since I am a new member, I can't post outside links but it is called " Moto X Clear Slim TPU".

I decided not to use a case on mine. I am using a pouch and I'll use the bumper on occasion. My ideal case is a matte bumper with clear button covers.

SUPCASE
I just bought a SUPCASE and love it for the extra protection over my Bear Motion one. Both on Amazon. The SUPCASE has a clear back with black edges. Perfect for showing off the Moto X Dev Ed Black with White back if you ask me.

Bad decision, got this case..installed it...but it seemed to have an odd effect on google now...ie the response was poor..so tried taking the case man...it was so painful...

I received my power supply air jacket case today. I like it a lot. The fit is perfect. I wish the back were more grippy, but the edges are just grippy enough.

There are at least 5-10 on eBay that are hard clear cases. I bought two different ones for $3 each. Look harder!

Z3C Carbon Fibre Skins

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.

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.

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

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...

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 ?

Could show me link? Thanks!

For phone cases I only trust spigen and otterbox, too bad they don't make cases for Z4. Maybe I should wait.

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.

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?

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:

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.
