Hello. I was thinking of buying a case for my Z2 that would be compatible with my magnetic dock. But i fear most of the cases out there are not to be used with the dock. Any suggestions?
i found these at amazon. seems ok. but not so beautiful to look at.

Hello Everyone,
I bought Sony Xperia Tablet Z few months ago. I was using official sony cover which came with the tablet. After 3 months of usage I found out that the screen has scratches where it is always protected by the cover itself. Therefore I gave it to sony and they replaced it with a new tablet. However, I cannot use the cover now and therefore I need a new one.
I am looking for a flip cover where I can charge my tablet without opening the cover.
Please suggest one. I am located in India.
I have used MoKo(TM) Slim Cover Case for Sony Xperia Tablet Z 10.1 inch. You can buy it in Amazon. I live in Norway and Amazon doas not post it to Europe, so ordered it from Aliexpress fro China.
BTW. After I received Moko Slim Cover, I have modified my original Sony cover the same way by cutting small window 50x22 mm, 25 mm fom the edge.
I bought a poetic slim case from Amazon. Works great! there is an opening in the cover to plug the cable in while the cover is closed.

Poetic slim will damage LCD, I stopped using it and had to return my previous xperia tablet z because of pixel damage. The tablet is so flexible that removing device from the case puts a lot, too much pressure on the LCD.
I then bought the sony case and I prefer it. Haven't had any scratches from using it, its smooth on the inside. I kept the built factory applied screen protector on the tablet

Thanks for your input. It seems that it's better not to use any case then.
You guys have links for these cases that you recommend?

Sony case is good. Only applies presurre from the left and right side of the screen landscape. You can remove tablet just by sliding it in and out (as opposed to having to bend your tablet, lol) it also provides a bevel for shock protection and can be used with the charging cradle.
The poetic slim feels nicer and i would recommend this case if you plan on never removing your tablet againand never dropping your tablet or if you do not plan on using the charging cradle. I use the cradle because I think overtime waterproof feature will be better maintained and I have read reports of the USB connector breaking off. Want to save that connector for delicate flashing use only
Would a Z1 charging case fit the Z2? I can't find a charging case for Z2.

Since no fitted Z1 case fits the Z2 if say it's safe to assume not. Handtec & Clove have OEM wireless charging cases listed but no pics yet.

They don't have details yet on them other then it's a wireless charging case to charge on a charging pad.

I haven't seen any of the better-known brands offering a extended battery case yet. Maybe once it's rolled out worldwide.
DiY charger case
That Sony case is planned to be relatively expensive ~85 Euro
I'm thinking of building my own QI charger case,
my idea in a nutshell;
- buy cheap magnetic charging cable and Qi wireless charger receiver for eg Samsung S3 at dx.com
- rip apart the magnetic cable to only save the magnetic part and the contacts
- Solder the contacts with thin wires to the Qi receiver.
- Fiddle this all nice and snug in a wallet style cover
The old Battery case for the Z1 fits the phone. The ports are off though.
Has anyone used the charging dock advertised at brando (product code SUSCR037100). I can't post links yet....
shop.brando.com/oem-sony-xperia-magnetic-charging-dock_p10196c0199d005.html
It says its compatible with the Z2 and comes with different size adapters.....so I was wondering whether one of those might fit a Z2 with a case on
Thanks
Nick
I asked mobile fun about sony-xperia-magnetic-charging-dock-p44892.htm and they said the dock is compatible with the roxfit case Might try it out....
Bought this of ebay, modded it abit to make it work on the magnetic dock and it works quite well...

good if you just want a bit more protection without adding to much bulk..

In my humble opinion, this is too much gheto style cover, and mod, for a stylish device like this.
yes i agree but I'd rather have it protected and still be able to charge it. in the dock.
I've got the official cover aswell but can't stick it in the dock to charge it and it's a bit cumbersome.
this one fits perfectly without adding to much bulk..

You can use the official cover with the dock, but only if the cover is open
Sony Case vs Others
Yes the cheap case shown above will do the trick as far as protection/ magnetic charging.
HOWEVER, that being said, think about how much you invested in the tablet. I have used the cheap knock off version case and now I have the Sony case. Big difference in protection, feel,its still super thin and quality. In my opinion, invest in a good case to protect that high class tablet you have.
You can get the authentic sony case through Ebay (Sony store) for cheaper than the website. Fast shipping and reasonable for a tablet case cost. Remember that tablet cases will cost more than phone cases too...if you go for quality!:good:

I bought these two for my Z2 tablet, one on Ebay and the other from Amazon. Both are relatively inexpensive. I had to enlarge the magnetic charging port openings on both, but now they work with my magnetic charger and my dock.
Yep I'm happy with mine works perfectly, good to see someone else do the same...the first one looks similar to mine..
OtterBox just released a Defender Series Case for the Sony Xperia Z3v. But does anyone know if it will be compatible with the original Z3? Because according to the dimensions specifications in GSMArena the original Z3 seems to be slightly and I mean slightly smaller compared to the Z3v.

The Z3v does not have a magentic dock from what i can see. The phone will most probably be a bit loose in the case anyway.
Well, I ordered one early last week and I'm expecting it to arrive tomorrow. It was an impulse purchase as soon as I saw that it was available, I thought that OtterBox made a typo mistake by saying Z3v because at that moment, I didn't even know that Sony had released an Xperia Z3v lol. When I get it, I'll post back and tell if it's somewhat compatible and hopefully doesn't sit too loosely in the case. I have a Nillkin 9H Tempered Glass Screen Protector on my Z3 which makes it a little thicker. I don't even plan on using the magnetic dock portion anyways on my Z3, just charge it normally with a microUSB cable.
Just got the OtterBox Defender Z3v case in today, not compatible at all with the Z3. It wiggles up and down when in the case and not only that, you won't be able to charge or connect a USB cable at all while it's in the case.
EDIT: The opening for the USB cover on the case sits over half of the port cover on the Z3 so you won't be able to pull the port cover out.
If anyone with a Z3v looking for an OtterBox Defender Series case for it, I'll sell mines if you're interested, just PM me.
