For all its glorious reviews about rubber finish n premium look, my back cover came slightly loose from the lower left side. It's not totally out but not completely fixed too. Makes a crunchy kind of sound when I press. Called Flipkart and they replied it was a fairly common issue and immediately agreed to send me a new back cover, albeit white.. Said they'll ship a black one as soon as it's available.
Anyone facing this issue please contact Flipkart.

Is it the back cover that ships with the device or separately purchased one? Because mine(default one) is slightly open from the top, I can live with it but still.

Make a complaint to flipkart if you purchased from them. They will ask for some numbers on the inside part of back cover. I complained for it got a free back cover(white).
And yes they said they will ship black one as soon as it is available.

I broke the little flap off the top of my X10 (the bit that covers the USB port) while moving house the other week and was wondering if anyone knew where I could get one (Black)?
I know its not needed and has very little use but it looks a bit weird without it :/
no idea why sony didn't make the USB flush
try this
http://www.dealextreme.com/search.dx/search.xperia%20x10
I've have been without my usb cover for months now and I'm used to it at this point. I've looked all over and unless you're going to buy a full new housing and pay all that money for a simple plastic flap, you can't find it anywhere by itself. I've contacted sony and they said they don't make/have that cover as a replacement part, so if you want a new one, you have to send in the whole phone for repair and pay for it, so just get used to it.
In the event that you do find it somehow/somewhere, please update us.
Thanks and good luck.
that's a bit crappy, surely they can see that its gonna be a weak part and will break over time for many users?
oh well, guess I'll just get used to it, it isn't worth an entire shell for a new one
Mine broke today, after a month use.
Anyone got place where we can buy spare one ?

Just a heads up for anything who want to try this, you need to remove the touch glass and re-attach to this new replacement one. I'm personally too scared to do it myself, but i've read about one person person who successfully did it, but got a little crack in his screen for doing so.

I have been in contact with SGP on the issue with the proximity sensor and heres a summary of what has been said:
"Hello *********,
We are in the process of creating new design at this moment.
If you want to get replacement with the new design, please check back with us after 7days to see if we have the new inventory.
We are sorry for the wait, and thank you for your understanding.
Peter"
So if you guys contact SGP (I contacted through Amazon), I'm sure y'all can get a replacement whenever the new design comes out. They were nice enough to send me a replacement with the design flaw, since I went through the original 2 I had trying to make a cutout.
It was good to see a company possibly make changes even though they said that there weren't many customers with the issue.

Yeah I have the Ultra Crystal too, but its super finnicky when the sensor wants to work. I'm super OCD about bubbles and such and I have none in my 3 installations and yet none of the protectors could emulate having a naked screen. Although it will randomly work sometimes, its super annoying to have the screen turn off instantly when making a call and then clicking the power button multiple times to have it turn on and instantly off again. Crossing fingers here!
i have the UC, and i tested the prox by making a call with and without the protector on in the dark. With the protector on it doesn't wake the screen but with it off it does. In a well lit room though it works because the light sensor triggers the screen on in that case, which i tested with my desk lamp, i would make the call then take it away from my face, and it wouldn't turn on until i exposed it to the light so ppl that think their sensor work, maybe try that to make sure.
I ended up making a cutout in my current protector but will contact them about the pack of 2 that i haven't opened yet thanks for the heads up.
Keep us updated I've been holding off on ordering because of this issue.

I sent an e-mail to SGP through their website, but they weren't too helpful.
I originally had the matte protector and was having problems so I ordered the ultra crystal through their Amazon store. I'd say it works 3/4 of the time, so still a little annoying.
Through their support on the website, they didn't offer to send me one with the cutout.

How long have you used it for? That stickiness usually goes away after awhile and if you don't want to wait wipe it with a 50/50 rubbing alcohol and water solution.

I think back cover problem arises if you wrongly open it. I made a fuss of it first time as it was too tight. May be because of that it became loose. But no problem with the white one I got.

I think its a fault of the design of the device. When I got my black Moto E it was tight as well. I opened the recommended way : https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/97427/p/30,6720,9050
and put it back. It was lose after I opened it once. I think if you remove your new back cover and put it back, its gonna become lose as well.
The new cover isn't loose up till now. Just opened it twice. Hope it doesnt get loose in future.[emoji16]
But if the issue resumes after some time then Flipkart won't replace it n number of times. Should be good to get a back cover may be tpu case.
And if you can suggest me a 32 GB memory card please tell me. I am looking to get transcend 32 GB class 10.

I am using the Transcend microSDHC 32GB Class 10 (from Flipkart) on Moto E right now. Its working without any issues. I bought the Moto E as my screen of S4 mini got damaged and the service center was asking for rs.5700 for replacement. Instead of repairing it, I bought the Moto E
and asking for a back cover replacement is a pain since my college has begun and I wont be at home waiting for that asshole from flipkart to come.

Got the replacement cover from Flipkart but the new back cover moves too, called flipkart and they told me to request for refund.
I already bought amzer tpu case for motorola e and its fits motorola e best. hence won't go for the refund since i will be using the amzer cover with moto e.
Does flipkart replace the backcover or do they just send a new one. I like my black backcover but its a bit loose i.e it has space between the gorilla glass mounting and itself. So should i call or mail flipkart.

Hi all, I got a good deal on a used z3v(came from nexus 6 just wasn't feeling it much) I love this phone but I have a question the person I bought it from had removed the micro SD and USB flap that makes the phone waterproof (hence the reason I got such a good deal ). My question is where do I buy a replacement I see a replacement flap for the normal z3 on ebay, will it fit the z3v? Or with this phone being so similar to the z2 would i need to order one for that one?
Whoa whoa, that's an awfully terrible thing someone would do to this phone. Removing the flaps is like saying "please let me drive my car without tires and see how this will work".
You would have to get Sony to repair your phone for you because the phone is sealed tight, preventing you from physically modifying it of the sorts.

If they are the Z3V Variant then yes those will work. Any other Z2 or Z3 flaps that are not Verizon will not work.
That sucks since even cases for the Verizon variation is hard to find, oh well still a nice phone and I paid next to nothing for it so no worries as even when I had my s5 I never dunked it in water anyways. Thanks for the advice

I would be real careful with it though. Anything intruding into your phone can easily ruin it. It looks to me there's next to no protection for anything to enter without the flap. You should get a case that at least covers the exposed areas somehow.
How is that different from any other phone without protective covers on the USB? Not being a smart ass just asking. I have a otterbox defender but annoyingly it doesn't cover the flap area

If you look through the side where the micro usb port is, you can see the holes to see the internal where the display lights up. I feel as though dust can easily ruin the quality of the display or ruin the camera lens in the phone from taking great quality pictures.

Depending on how it goes and how difficult it is, if you want to of course..... make a small guide on how to put on those flaps. That might be helpful for some users in the future. Just throwing out an idea.

That's a great suggestion. I don't mind at all and would like to share. From what I can tell in my research, the port is designed like the Z1 and should not be difficult to install.
I just looked at the USPS tracking and my package arrived in Brooklyn NY tonight at 9:58pm. I'm in CT but doubt I'll get delivery tomorrow so it looks like Monday.
I'll be sure to post details. I'm glad to help others. I've sure have been helped more times than I care to admit by others. Besides, I can use some "Thanks" on my profile ?

Actually, upon further inspection, I'm positive there's a difference. I found a couple European sites offering Z3V parts, expressly labeled as Black or Silver. Before anyone gets too excited though, none of them have the USB covers in stock.

Seems unlikely that the port cover would be different other than in color. Try chatting with Sony. I did that when I was trying to see if they would sell me the part and they were pretty helpful. I chatted right from my phone using Chrome browser.
My port cover didn't arrive today. So annoying. I'm in CT and the package left Brooklyn, NY at 5:46am on Saturday. It should've been delivered today. Damn 3rd class mail. I feel like I've gotten straight from China packages quicker.

Yeah, I just mean the exterior color. Still want it to be the most perfect though. The white definitely has a lighter silver trim, while the black has a darker, slate grayish silver.

My port cover arrived and after about a half hour of failed attempts I figured out how to easily install it without damaging it.
Unfortunately, the damn thing won't fit. It looks perfect but it won't stay closed. I have to press it hard so it closes but it pops right back open on it's own. Nothing like the other ports. I've contacted the seller. Hopefully they will make it right.
I did learn how to install it and will post the video tomorrow. For now, here are two pix showing the ill-fitting cover.
Waited 20 days for this crap ?
