I Need help finding accesories Xperia Tablet S - Sony Tablet S

Hi guys I'm new to the Sony tablet forum. I was lucky enough to win a Sony Xperia Tablet from a competition held by Sony.
Well I kinda won the old Sony tablet but because the delivery of that one took so long. Sony were kind enough to give me the new Sony XPERIA tablet. Awesome right ?:laugh:
Anyway I'm kinda looking for some Sony Xperia Tablet S Accessories which are not too expensive because the accessories on the Sony page seem a little too expensive. I tried looking on amazon but failed to find anything.
Accessories I'm looking for:
Any type of case doesn't have to be original
Some kind of screen protector
Hdmi output wire thing
Plug to USB output thing (sorry have no idea what the original names are)
So basically I want everything that's on the Sony page but cheaper versions.
If anyone could link me to some that would be great.
Thanks

anyone found a nice little cover for the s2??
on ebay i only found some crappy ones:crying:

Mini Pro Battery Cover

Has anybody seen these for sale yet in other colours?
My wife really wanted a red one but could only find black so has anybody seen these anywhere?
Thanks
on ebay
cgi.ebay.com/Original-Battery-Cover-Sony-Ericsson-X10-Mini-Red-/140423668594?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20b1e72372#ht_2042wt_911
i think these are fake i am not really sure i've been looking for covers too but i cant find anywhere other than ebay
That eBay one is for the Mini and not the Mini Pro
Are they the same cover on both?
The Mini and the Mini Pro does not have the same battery cover.
I am looking for a black cover. When I bought the Mini Pro the store only had red ones left...
Want to swap?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I contacted the seller of item 160448617601 on eBay (sorry, can't post links yet) and they replied saying they'll be stocking covers for the Pro when they're available if that helps.
Hello
I'm in french and i just bought X10 mini (not pro) . There are 2 covers : One black , one red
Haven't seen any myself either - I was looking for a new one after I scuffed my Mini Pro on a wall in a drunken stumble last night ><
I checked Ebay and cnn.cn none of these places have the battery cover with xperia logo label !!! if they are OEM why are they missing the xperia label?!?!?!
Besides why cant SE sell these covers as accessories?

If not differently advertised cnn.cn has only original spares, I bought many things and a I was always satisfied.
P.S. atm cnn has the dummies, maybe it's cover is functional.
Trying to help
I don't know if this help but...
Maybe.
Go to ebay and search for 170518830403 or this one 140441560960
They claim to be original...
I dunno, by the way.
those are X10 mini covers not X10 mini PRO... i've been searching for ages myself but couldn't find anything. so desperate to change my black cover for a white so that it matches my white X10
EDIT: Just found some on ebay. search for 380260605730, 300457269274 and 380260605730. Snatched the white one for myself. They seem legit but they are missing the xperia sticker at the back
I found dummy x10 mini pro cost $36.99 from cnn.cn but it's too expensive to buy it only for the back cover. As the phone is for demonstrating/advertaising purposes i'm not expecting good quality.

I've just ordered the red one. For that sort of money, I am happy to take a punt.
Will let you know when they arrive in a few weeks
Received my new cover yesterday, ordered a week ago
Went with this one: 380260605716
It fits perfect, looks good, only lacks the Xperia-sticker. It do has a sort of matte, almost rubbery finish, in contrast to the more shiny front of the phone.

Yes
Mine has arrived and I must admit that the quality is as good as the one that came with the phone.
My wife is happy with it (which is all that really matters) however I am not convinced that the red back looks right with a black front but each to their own.
In any case, if you want a red back, these can be recommended.

Accessories for Xperia S

This is another placeholder
im getting the sony smart watch with my preorder for sony xperia s, maybe smart tags in box too if im lucky.
Will be looking for a good case for this. I like leather pouches with pull tabs. Ordered this for my galaxy - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0071QPIV2/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details but it will be going back along with the phone. It seems the dimensions are a little short for the Xperia S
i like the otter box commuter cases, i have a defender one for my HTC Desire HD, but no announcements yet for xperia s one yet from otter box

Anyone else depressed by the fact it has the flappy usb covers and that hdmi is on other side? Trying to think of some way to make a powered dock because i doubt one will be released. a real shame, even the cheaper p and the ion have docks.

This case arrived today, it's really nice. Does anyone think I'd get away with using this on an Xperia S?
Xperia S dimensions - 128 x 64 x 10.6mm
Galaxy Nexus - 135.5 x 67.94 x 8.94mm
Galaxy Nexus is a bit taller/wider, Xperia S is fatter. It means in terms of height the Xperia S will fit in the case, but it may be a bit "loose" on the width. With it being fatter though it may sit more snugly in the case regardless of the smaller width.
I have till the 30th of March to return it to Amazon, I guess I can hold onto it until my Xperia S arrives on the 12th - Although I won't be able to open it anyway (if I want to be able to return).
Looks like there's going to be an official sony hard case:

Haicom is a very good brand, I've had their vent holders for my Xperia Neo and Xperia Arc, and they're simply wonderful. They don't damage your phones, they're very sturdy, it's great! And they are very cheap! Worth a go!
I was slightly wrong and didn't notice the ones I linked were universal ones. It'll take a week or two-three and then we'll see custom-made Haicom ones appearing.

Thanks for that, but like I mentioned I prefer it to be windscreen holder, because I like to use a phone as video recorder as well. I know, I am picky.

It's a special offer from t-mobile in the netherlands. You get it for free if you're getting a t-mobile subscription with the xperia s.

Hey rajmistry,
There are a lot of windshield holders out there that will work given the Xperia S has 4.3" display. I have a LUXA2 H5 windshield holder for the Xperia Arc that I am using today. It's a little costly compared to other generic solutions out there, but the aluminum that they use is really nice.

Please review my list of accesories for my new Xperia Ultra Z.

Hello all!
So, if the winter storms allow it, on Thursday I will have my Xperia Ultra to replace my beloved Note 2. Shame on you Samsung for the "amazing" .18" display size increase of Note 3!
Anyways, as always I like to have my phone ready with some accessories.
I am still a bit confused about this whole magnetic charger thingy so please provide any feedback, recommendations etc or something I might be missing as well! :good:
For first...a basic cheap case for normal use..unless I change my mind and get something with a flip.
Cheapo case
Or maybe this one too for now as a battery and more protective case:
Case and 5000mAh battery
Car mount:
Mount
Finally for now this one confuses me: the dock/charger thing:
Are either of this the same and do I need something else besides the doc...? Like I have read about a magnetic cable too.
Doc1
Doc2
I am still wanting a stylus but I would like some sort of case with a thin stylus that I can hide into the case...yes, I am used to my note spen
And also I was planning to get my usual Zagg screen protector but not sore sure if anyone has tried it since a search for Zagg showed no results.
Thanks for any help!
dealxtreme
I have deleted my long list of Xperia Z Ultra accessories found of dx.com/dealxtreme.com because they are utterly useless.
I ordered five things and ensured that they were not marked out of stock. A week later they sent me an email saying they couldn't send because something was out of stock. It proved impossible to respond to them: email bounced, phone numbers didn't work or were never answered, website chat didn't work. Their online ticketing system didn't allow creating a ticket to discuss order, you had to enter a SKU code and I didn't know which item was in doubt. Eventually I stumbled on a ticket type I could create (problem with paying) so I sent them a message and they admitted there were three items of the five they couldn't get! They asked for more time, after five days I told them to cancel the order with a full refund.
So, stay away from DX.com / dealxtreme.com as they are clearly utterly utterly useless.
This is the dock I got and have had good experiences with it. It is slow to charge but works well as a stand for you to charge your phone overnight.

How slow? The original DK30 uses around 2 hours to charge from 0-100%.
I see that Brando also have a bunch of X Z U accessories:
http://mobile.brando.com/shop/Sony-Xperia-Z-Ultra
they're more expensive than DX, but Brando in my experience are usually good quality and offer good customer service.
I've still not seen a car dock that I want to buy, I want one that will hold my XZU whilst its in its case, and attach to the windscreen. So far universal tablet holders designed for smaller tablets have looked like the best option.

Regarding car dock, I got one from infiniapps, really like the design and you can use it with a case, works better with a thin case. I would recommend the tablet version and then buy 2 of the phone metal inserts.

I bought this windscreen mount. Works really well as was designed specifically for the Ultra
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=360722447342&view=all&tid=441532569023
I'd stick with the DK30 dock. The maglock cable i used from DX.com wrecked my ultra. (after plugging in the magdock cable it started playing up. charging and discharging irregularly. Had to have a full mainboard replacement.) So its been 6 weeks and my ultra is finally being sent back to me after a major repair.
Link not working, can you try again?
I edited my first post and removed all links to DX website and replaced the posting to say people should avoid them

Good call, ordered some stuff for my Z1 while some month ago. Got a mail saying everything was shipped however the tracking number went nowhere. Waited some month, nothing and tracking number still a dud. Have emailed them several times with no response. I will never order there again. Is Brando more reliable?

|'ve bought things a few times from Brando and not been let down but not for a couple of years as it's often easiest to buy off ebay. I've not heard bad things about them, so I would be happy to buy off them.

Hello!
I have been using the ZGPAX S5 watch. It is very powerful, not sure if you have seen some of the videos I uploaded but it runs emulators like MAME, Dreamcast and can even use the PS3 controller
BUT, the company that built it is as good it if did not exist because forget about any support from them.
So if no dev picks it up, you are not going to get much from it.
It is more of a Standalone watch than a companion to your phone. Currently only using an app called TableTak is how you can get text messages and reply from the watch.
For charging I bought the original DK30 magnetic charger. Expensive but well worth it.
As for protection, I bought some "explosion proof" glass protector for the front and a regular film protector for the rear and just some cheap plastic case from ebay just for when I am carrying it around. At home etc I just like the feeling of it naked so no cases there
Also about the watch, I returned it as the GPS was not working and right now I am undecided between buying it again or waiting for one to have ALL the features without having to fight to get things working.

I did see the videos yes did look pretty good. Apart from using a very small screen lol. I take it you use emulators on your xzu though. I think my best bet is getting a smart watch 2 at some point then. Do you actually use the dk30 dock or you taken the cable out? I can't see myself getting 1 as I always have a flip case on the phone as too worried about the phone. And wouldn't want to keep taking it out of case etc. I would like to find a genuine Sony magnetic charger though. If I do keep my xzu I would like to get some good accessories. But at present my xzu is in repair. So I have been debating about getting a HTC one max. Just not sure. I do want a good power flip case though would like the cp12. And like the look of the sbh52. that screen protector is it a glass protector and if so where did you get it from? What apps do you currently have on phone any useful/interesting ones?

I used the DK30 all the time. I prefer the phone without a case...only phone that I actually have done this with..it just feels to awesome to hold.
That is the reason I added the glass in front and film on the back though.
This is what I got Glass Protector
As for apps, gosh I got too much stuff to name
From lots emulators to music apps like for tuning my violin.
Folder Mount which I used to same big game data to the external card is a must for me.

Xperia Z2 Dock and Car Dock

Please list out Xperia Z2 Dock and Car Dock here
I was hoping to see a car dock with built in charger.

Sony XSP-N1BT
http://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/in-car-receivers-players/xsp-n1bt
Found this today while looking for a new car stereo, all I can say is WOW!
It's purpose built to be used with the Xperia phones - acts as a phone dock and charges through the charging strip. I've seen pricing is going to be $250 and it'll be released in May, hopefully it's available in the UK at a reasonable price.
Not sure if this youtube link will show up correctly.

For the car would the Z1 car dock work since both phones are similarly sized?

Just checked the specs and it seems that this is compatible with over 15 xperia devices so it would be safe to assume it would be compatible with the z2. I think the thing that let's it down is that it does not come with any form of charging capability though

Well, my Samsung Note 3 dock is the same way. It doesn't have a built in charger like the Galaxy S2 dock used to. So I have to plug in a micro-usb car charger separately. I got a magnetic car charger from Amazon, so I'll probably end up doing something similar for the Z2.
I may go ahead and order the Sony one; speaking of which, I received the dk36 magnetic charger today as well.
And I think that is the direction I'll go. Official dock + magnetic charger. Currently have the official HTC one x dock and the quality of that is significantly better than any other 3rd party cheap dock I have tried before. Hoping Sony dock is good quality
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk
That car dock looks pretty much the same as many if the universal docks.
I think I may just have Fab my own since it doesn't look like they ever offer a proper model specific dock for Sony phones. I can easily modify a cheap hard case with a magnetic charger attached to it for more functional and easy to use dock.
This is one thing I'll miss about Motorola(assuming they've continued doing it), they offer cheap model specific docks that use the same ball mount as Garmin so you options on how you mount it in your car.
I got my magnetic dock the other day, it's smaller than I thought it would be. I was hoping I could put a NFC tag on top of it to trigger some tasker tasks but I don't think it will be close enough to the sensor.

It looks to me like that dock is a unit that you mount in-dash. Once you put the phone in the cradle it "becomes" the head unit. One major benefit to having a built in radio tuner in the phone. Seems pretty awesome to me.

Guys, does anyone know where to find a standard car dock with the side claws not covering the magnetic charging port?
EDIT:
Cool.. answered ma own question:

Just checked the specs and it seems that this is compatible with over 15 xperia devices so it would be safe to assume it would be compatible with the z2. I think the thing that let's it down is that it does not come with any form of charging capability though

This article says, if a compatible xperia phone is inserted, it can be charged via the magnetic connector.

Sony XSP-N1BT In-Car Smartphone cradle radio system
Finally showing a preorder for this, about £50 more than I was hoping to pay but oh well.
Check out clove.co.uk. search the z1 products they have a powered cradle that uses the side port. Hoping they get az2 one soon
Cool
Cool would it be available in India too...
Sony XSP-N1BT Smartphone Cradle Receiver
Was having a look today for this and seen it on the Halfords site. Priced at £199.99 but with 10% off it came out at £179.99.
Well chuffed as the place I was gonna get it from wanted £214.99 so the price difference will cover the costs of the new facia I'll need so it'll fit my car

I got one from Crutchfield and installed it a couple of days ago - works good so far! I've posted a review on Amazon.
That said, I would probably have chosen a device-specific cradle from Brodit/ProClipUSA if one had been available for the Z2 by now - their Z1 cradles seem nice (and I've had good luck with their previous products for other phones).

4 stars - good enough for me!
Still waiting on the replacement facia as my Mazda 2 won't take a double din (or single din) without it. Really just hoping the cables I've got for the steering controls work as the manufacturer (Connects2) advised. Heard the Axxess ASWC-1 that you have would definitely control all the functions but the Connects2 guy advised theirs also works and I got it at a fraction of the price compared to the ASWC-1 which seems to be a US product.

Magnetic chargers

I've had my Z Ultra for some time now and I'm thinking of getting a magetic charger. I did get a cheap one some time ago which wasn't embedded in a stand but just sat directly on the contacts on the side of the phone. Unfortunately it would fall off at the slightest movement. I've recently spotted chargers with stronger magnets which are a lot more robust for the Sony Zs but couldn't find one for the ZU. Does anyone know where I might be able to find one for the ZU without having to use the dock and with a decent charge rate.
Cheers
I think all of them are cross compatible across all Xperia phones, I have bought one of them from AliExpress and it was originally meant for Xperia Z2 but it fits my ZU perfectly. Just yeah, don't buy the cheapest ones, it should cost about 6-9 dollars, the best ones are these with the charging indicator led, they have really nice magnets. I will add a link tomorrow.
Regards
Yes I was wondering that. A link would be appreciated, thanks

Amazon (UK or USA) I've found to be really good and I'd agree the LED one's espec with the metal connectors are the best one's as they also tell you the right way to connect them
So you think any of these would do the ZU?
