T-Mobile Z1S Owners - Anyone have a case?

I've been with the Z1s for about one month now, and it's going pretty great. But the all-glass front and back make me pretty nervous. I know we have the two cases from T-Mobile, but does anyone know of any other cases out there? There seems to be an annoying trend of the Z1 Mini being called the Z1s which makes finding a case a PITA.
I wouldn't mind some of those tempered glass protectors either?

I just bought the [email protected] Xperia Z1S Super Matte Shield Cover from Amazon.... Didn't get it yet but it seems to be the only one that doesn't cover the magnetic charge port. I also have the Carbon Black Skinomi skin. It's ok but the corners are sticking up on the side skins. Don't really care for the feel of the screen protector either.

Someone said that that actually fits on the Z1 in the accessories section. Seem a lot of these accessories manufacturers didn't know that the Z1 and Z1s have different dimensions.

I'm just using a Skinomi protector on the front and back, no case here!

Let us know about the IVSO case when you get it...with pics, please!

Z1 Case will fit but you can't charge your phone. It's missing that cut out portion and also missing the magnetic charging part. Also your micro SD card will not be perfect aligned. I have a z1 case I have to cut some pieces for the charging port opening. Just wait or buy the correct one from T-Mobile or Amazon for z1s

Could you report on the ability to fit the z1s into that case with the skinomi installed?

There is now a listing on amazon for one of those cases that specifically states that it is intended for the z1s from T-Mobile, so if he got that one, he should be okay

I hate the tech21 case from tmobile >.<

Let me know how that one works. The photos are for the Nillkin Z1 case which I would buy in a heartbeat as they make great cases.

My Sony xperia z with $1.52 amazon case was an indestructible beast drops upon drops concrete . wood , it meet its demise by my hands intentionally but it did not go down easy multiple whacks to a granite counter corner and still lights not out. hands down the best made for durability ever. Samsung could learn a thing or 2 from Sony . I am sure the Z1 follows suit

Hey guys, for those who were wondering, the IVSO case does indeed work on the T-Mobile Z1s. It's branded as IVSO on Amazon but when you receive it, it is the Nillkin Frosted Shield case series. That's not to say it's a bad thing, if you've ever used one of those Nillkin Frosted cases, it's exactly like those feel. If you haven't, just find a review of a frosted shield case for any phone, it feels solid and nice. Very minimalistic and nicely designed.
I don't have pictures, but the fit is perfect. All the cut outs are where they should be, the only missing cutout is the spot for the SIM card, but it makes sense for why there isn't a cut out there. Overall, I've always liked the Nillkin cases and it continues with this snap-on case. I will say this, if you dropped your phone on it's speaker grille side or headphone side, there is no protection there. It's just for the sides and the back. There isn't exactly an overlapping clip, if that makes sense, for the front either. So, if your phone lands flat on its screen, don't expect much protection. AGAIN, this is almost exactly like the Frosted Shield series for other phones, though. It's more for appearance than protection.

I second that. Love Nillkin cases. Not a whole lot of protection but works well enough to protect against minor drops and bumps. Also adds grip to the slippery phone.

I got my Z1s about 3 weeks ago and have been rocking it naked. Been loving it. Naked all the way baby.

moto grip shell do work or moto g flip cover but i saw issu with flip cover that navigation and compass is not correct

Motorola's grip shells are pretty good. Makes phone easy to hold & provides good protection to the phone.

Otterbox all the way defender if you want the screen protector or cumuter version of you want just a plastic on screen

Best Glass Screen Protector compatible with cases !

Hello.
I bought 2 cases for my S8+ : an Otterbox Defender and a Spigen Tough Armor, but they are incompatible with the Rhinoshield Glass, because the glass covers the entire surface of the screen and it too large for the cases.
My question, what is the best glass screen protector that is compatible with the cases.
Thanks.

You gotta try them all out as its a...case by case basis! I have an amazingthing and it works with my commuter but didn't work well with the defender

What a process all for a screen protector lol I would totally get that screen protector but I wonder if it's compatible with the case I'm using
http://www.ebay.com/itm/112394312388

Hello.
Are there any risks of damaging the electronic components of the phone if they are exposed to UV radiation?
Is there a possibility to put the glass without using this UV device?

Like i said, i bought it from local store man. No branding on box. Just labeled "nano glass screen protector". It's noticeable thin any other glass screen protectors.
But, this case i mentioned in first post came with screen protector like I'm using right now. Highly recommended.

I found this "glass". In fact, this is not glass, it's a thick film. However, it states on "glass" at the manufacturer's website.
Here is the link: https://aliexpress.com/item/-/32841803367.html
And here is proof it is not a glass: https://youtu.be/Bj8k5_MptJM?t=4m54s

As per manufacturer - Type:Front Film
And again - "...Glass Screen Protector..". so it is protector for glass screens....
Honestly why would you get gorilla glass screen in the first place if you want to put on some plastic on it?
Gorilla glass has enough scratch protection and if you plan to abuse your phone then this is not the type of phone in the first place. The film type screen protectors drop protection has always been controversial and questionable.
It's like getting a new car and putting some clothes on it to not scratch the paint and to not chip the windshield...

It's the question of "refreshness". You put $2-3 glass on top of Gorilla (which is not so scratch-resistable in fact) and trash it after 3-5 month, got new glass and fresh new screen. In case of no protector the only option you have is new LCD assembly at $50? (or fake china "compatible" LCD with poor colors and backlight). According to the fact that 3-layer glass (original gorilla+silicone adhesive+protective glass) will be definitely stronger comparison to LCD only, that's the reason to choose.
But i agree with you, >$200 phone is not the price you'll have to put a case in a case while in carrying pouch to protect it like a treasure.

I got the same case. Very nice quality. The only thing I don't like is the rough inside surface. Hopefully it won't scuff the back of the phone. It also seems slightly thicker than my other plain black case.

Got the same case good quality. Cloth back solves the problem that the bare phone is SUPER slippery and will slide off a perfectly flat surface.

Are there any problems with pressing side buttons and plugging earphones?

I wonder how that compares to it.

How are the buttons with this case, I have one from silicon as well and they are really hard to press.

What tempered glass screen protectors and Case's are you guy's using on your device?

Are carbon-fiber Case's worth the money? Thanks In advance!!!

Thanks how does fingerprint work for you. I got this one coming tomorrow.

preinstalled screen protector that comes with the phone. usually brand marketing would blow up their specs, often times stating anti scratch etc. the one that comes default is the anti scratch one.
araree wallet case modified with the transparent hard case that comes with the phone. the only downside is a covered top. if you wanna swap out sd or sim card, you need to remove the case which is difficult. playing on gear ve 325, current model, is difficult too as you need to remove the case.
