Xperia Z Labato Slim Case Review - Xperia Tablet Z Accessories

http://youtu.be/Plg_bd-lcjY
For the price it's hard to beat. The Poetic cases are a minimum $20 so this is a bargain.
This tablet is fantastic, it's a real shame it isn't getting the type of publicity or recognition as ipads or nexus devices.
I have a Note 3, Nexus 1st gen, and Nexus FHD. The build quality on this Xperia is superb and tops compared to all those devices.

That was a really fast review. Should have mentioned if you can charge it with the case on.
Anyway. I bought one so I'll find it out soon.

Yes, you can charge it, while in the case. I tend to keep everything short and to the point because there's plenty of 10 minutes and longer review videos on youtube.
Also, there are cut outs for the IR blaster in the plastic case. I tested it as my TV remote with the case on and it worked great.

Does the auto wake and sleep feature works your case?
Mine doesn't and there's another person on Amazon which has this problem too.
Am I missing something?

Hi i got the jisoncase slim case, it looks exactly the same as the labato slim case. only thing different is the logo and the stitching... Anyway i was having issues of tablet not turning on when case is opened.. Try this hold the right side of the case down and lift the left corner, so you see the corner of the screen.... the screen when lifted it should turn on ? if not try Vice versa the screen should turn on ?
if it don't turn on, get a magnet remove the case and see if there is a magnet in the flip part of the case... And remember do NOT take the magnet near the tablet you will damage the display or other sensitive components of the tablet..

I actually just received my Labato case yesterday and I really like it. It seems very well made especially for the price. My only issue is that the case doesnt stay closed with the magnet, so while moving the tablet around, the cover flaps open and keeps waking/sleeping the tablet. While that is my only complaint, its very annoying. If it had a strap or something to keep it closed, it would be the perfect case.

What I did is looking by the side to know if the screen turned off when I closed it.
What I've noticed is that the auto turning off doesn't work well but the turning on does almost the time.
Also I checked where the magnet is whith the cellphone and it's placed correctly (maybe it's not the most accurate tool but I couldn't feel it).
I concluded that the magnet might not be very strong so that's why it fails some times.
I must that the case is wonderful and price is pretty low. I've seen the case on Amazon and Ebay for those interested in it.
Thanks for help

pretty nice. any case for Sony Z2 tablet from them?

I just received my labato case yesterday.
Build quality is excellent and the magnet isn't powerful enough to mess with the display like my old case.
One negative however is that it doesn't stand very well, the base of the stand isn't really adequate I think, it falls backwards a lot especially on uneven surfaces.

---

I got one of those Labato cases ) Good quality and tablet wakes up like a charm )... Nice price! Recommend!

---

I just got this case and have the same problem with the smart cover not working 100% of the time. If I had known, I would have just paid less for the case without the smart cover. It's a great case otherwise though.
Update: After using the case for a week, the "smart" cover now works 0% of the time.

I second this. And some times the flip doesn't close properly to turn off the screen. You also need to put a lil more effort to have the tablet stands stably.

planning to buy the red labato case, is it better than the black one since its $2 more expensive than the black one @ aliexpress ?
Or are both build wise and quality wise the same ?

thanks.
labato @ aliexpress gave me additional 10% discount ($16.99) on the red one. I also bargained for a screen protector along with it. lets see how fast it reaches me.
