Just thought I'd share my experience with this case
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MV9TPEU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Really, really good. Fits perfectly. Protects the back as well. Magnet works with screen on/off. Only bad thing is that it doesn't stand up very well, but after a bit of effort mine stands up, while being abit wobbly. Only £8 and 100% worth it.
bought it and it works beautifully, Thanks for the advice. also, after bending the separator and flexing it multiple time, the magnet seems to latch on better and now i can use the case as a stand.
great cover for the price

agreed. got this one as well today, and the magnet works like a charm. for a tenner, this cover is a steal.
Received my Exact case yesterday as well and yes I will recommend this case. Good fit and works well for the price.
I bought this one but for much less 2 months ago (about € 10,-):
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NCZ0BMM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Received mine this morning and even though the build quality is great and it fits brilliantly, the magnet was way to weak to hold it up when the front cover is folded. even tried flexing it a bit to loosen it up but no luck at all. went back same say and ordered an ivso one instead. shame really as i had a similar one before and the magnets were incredibly strong.

I just bought one of these and sent it back. Made out of cardboard. I've had happy meals that had stronger boxes. Really bulky to hold when it's open too. It doesn't fold back evenly to hold onto. Skip that one. Go with the poetic case. Might be bulky but seems to be the only one I'd recommend.

Just wanted to say, thanks for the suggestion. I was weary due to the fact it was only $10 and was by a company I hadn't heard of. But after receiving it, it feels great. It is one of the few cases for a device I have ever had that does not wiggle slightly. It actually is a very snug and great fit to the device. And as long as you try to bend the lid a little after getting it, it will stand up perfectly. I also love the fact that it doesn't just depend on the devices magnets to keep the lid shut. It has magnets built in to the edge of the case so that the lid has something stronger to hold on to, I used to have an iPad with a smart cover and hated how it would sometime open up on its own because the magnet was weak, but I don't see this being an issue on this case/cover

Found on eBay and ordered. About $40 US. Will report back when I get it. Looks good at first blush.
Got an email stating the case is on its way. Actually, in this country so hopefully should have it in hand within days.
Arrived today. Not bad shipping from the UK I must say!
First impressions: Nice feel to what doesn't seem like top-grain cowhide but better than I honestly expected. Smooth and supple. Overall construction better than average. Little fuzzy end that you can see on the lid will be trimmed but that's the only one. Snaps are secure and hidden when closed (nice touch!). Magnetic closure on top flap not too tight but no danger of flipping open. I know the stitching "looks" light but it's really black. None of the ports are covered. Dock fits quite snug as does the tab. Both join up nicely and the case wraps well around both. Camera opening line up well.
Overall, I am quite pleased.
November Update:
After using the case for a couple months now remain very please with the durability of the case overall. Have not done anything special, just back and forth to work and back. Great deal. Very pleased.
Finally ! This is the type of case that I have been searching for. Looking forward to your review.

Same here. Now that the battery drain on my keyboard has been repaired I also wanted something like this. Did not want to shell out over $100 for the TufLuv case though.
It's coming from across the pond so it'll be a while I suspect.
Looking forward to your reply as well.

Hmm!
I got the tuff-luv verison from amazon (used vouchers so it cost me nothing)
This one sounds better!
The tuff-luv one fits OK mostly. But the ports on the keyboard can be blocked when you open it as the keyboard is only fastened at the front so it slides back as you open the case. The back camera partly obscured as well!
This is a straight 1on1 copy from the tuff luv version, except for a few minor details.

True I think.
The Tuff-luv version has a stand on the back of the tablet case. Its fixed position, but actually works farly well for my useage. The keyboard looks better held on this version though.
On balance I think this ones is actually slightly better!
Thanks for the review and the pics ! Does it work well as a tablet only case (without the keyboard attached ?

Sure does and has the same flap to prop up the tab. Works seamlessly with both. Quite a snug/secure fit. Agree that it's a Tuf-Luv clone. I wanted the Tuf-Luv but just couldn't justify the price! Very pleased with this one.

Ditch the stylus. The Adonit Jot is the stylus to get. Amazing stylus. Works excellently with the TF.

You're quite welcome. Took less time than I thought it would. Enjoy it.
I've had a Diztronic case for both my GNex and S3, so naturally I had to get one of these for the DNA as soon as it was available on Amazon. Diztronics are simple, full backing and side rubber bumpers. There's no screen protectors I like the pronounced power and volume buttons on this case. It makes them much easier to use. As always, the Diztronic gives a solid feel to the phone. It no longer feels like it's going to slip and fly out of my hand. The back has openings for the camera, flash, and speaker, but not for the notification light.
If you're a minimalistic case owner, get this. Great stuff for $15 (incl. shipping).

The only thing that bugs me about these cases is that they appear to over up the back notification light.
It does... I might drill a hole for the rear notification light on my diztronic

I also ordered this (http://www.amazon.com/EMPIRE-Black-.../B00A83TNBG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354352083), so the back notification light being covered doesn't bother me. It's obnoxiously priced at $4 (worth about 50 cents), but does the job well. And even though it says for DNA, it will work for any phone.

Right...shows you how much it's made specifically for the DNA...
I just received this case today (ordered from Amazon; $12.50 with free 2 day shipping and no tax). This is definitely one of the nicer TPU cases I've had. There's a nice soft-touch, rubberized kind of exterior with the gel/plastic interior. It certainly inspires confidence in being able to protect the phone from a rough fall. It doesn't bulk up the phone too much, either.
If anyone is still on the fence about a case, give this one a close consideration. (It's so cheap, what have you got to lose?).

Yes. There's no "sweet spot" that Qi emits from to cover up. Just throw it on the pad and it works.
i noticed one of the reviews on amazon stated the diztronic is going to make a revised version that addressed the back notification light.. anyone hear that?
Well, I had my first 2.5 foot drop today. I was 3/4 asleep plugging it on my dining room table when it slipped and flew out of my hands. It landed on its length-wide edge (the side with the volume buttons) and I caught it with my feet after it hit so it didn't tumble. While this is an ideal fall, I'm happy to report there's not a scratch or crack and the case looks like I just took it out of the box. Worth three times the $15 to me at this point.

I'm in your boat, i had one for my GNex and S3 too. i love their cases. i bought one last week and it's already waiting for my DNA when it comes in tomorrow.
Just a heads up this case suffers from the same problem main others do, which is it doesn't play well with earphones/headphones with a bigger jack. I had to cut mine so that my shures would plug in.
Damn didn't notice that

Just received my case, and while i normally don't like cases, this one feels great. even better than my old Gnex one. i think the materials they used are a step up from what they used before. The only issue i have as mentioned above, is that the volume cutout is a bit small. I assume other cases would have similarly sized cutouts so its not a big issue but i will probably be cutting mine so it can fit my larger jacks.

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 ?

Hey guys,
I know many are after a decent case for the Z3 and I have these 2 which I've covered in a review I posted up recently on Neowin: http://www.neowin.net/news/case-mate-barely-there-for-xperia-z3-review
Hopefully the info helps make up a decision for some of you!
Thank you for thevreview, I have just ordered one of these cases.
Appreciate the review!
Thanks for doing this review, I was kinda concerned if the case-mate barely there for the Xperia Z3 would be compatible with the official dock.
I'll be getting this case but the clear version, as I got the Xperia Z3 in mint silver on 02 and it looks so nice!
I want the clear version too just to be able to see the shiny rear glass

I noticed a commenter on the review mentioned how much he disliked cases without symmetry...I feel like I might be the same way, but I'm not sure and would really like a case that could work with the dock. So do you feel like it's not really a big deal? Still comfortable to hold on to? Should I just get over it and get the case? Haha

Aye I really don't think it's a big deal. It's slim enough and it's black so doesn't really stand out as a distraction.
I bought a charging dock, and the case, and they should both be here by Tuesday.
I received the Nillkin today and unfortunately the Magnector X charging cable does not fit. I managed to trim a little bit on the sides though and now it works! Good to know before you order

No, not the cable of course! I trimmed a little bit of the case where the lower part of the magnetic connector touches. You will see it when you receive both the case and the case.
Can anyone verify that the MagnectorX magnetic cable will fit alright with the Case Mate? I just ordered it up as it doesn't fit with my current case. It looks like it will be good to go, but just want to be sure.
It's all open side that end on the Barely There so yeah shouldn't be a problem.
The MagnectorX connector adapter will fit with the Case Mate Barely There, but it is not a completely secure connection. It will charge fine, but moving the phone while it is connected could dislodge it. The angle of the connector is very steep and leaves the cord very close to the case. On this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/accessories/magtrons-magnector-x202-cable-adapter-t2919541 it appears that the Magnector cable has more clearance. From those pics, it will fit with the case with trouble. The Barely There case works fine with the Z2 dock DK36, however. I purchased that dock since the price was lower than the dock for the Z3.
I also have a Sony XSP-N1BT receiver in my car (basically a dock which turns the phone into the face plate of the receiver and it has the magnetic pins to charge the Xperia phones) and with a little bit of fiddling, the phone will charge with the Barely There.
like the barely there case because of its slim design. but still would prefer a case that covers all the edge as well. maybe the casemate slim tough will be more suitable?
Since barely there is hard plastic, will it cause scratches to the phone eventually?
is The clear's finish is it the same as the black?
Hey all,
just a heads up. got a sammy ruggedized case from best buy today.
two things,
firstly, it does not work properly with the samsung convertible wireless fast charger. its intermittent. laying it sideways worked better than portrait. for me, thats as good as not working. so its going back.
secondly, its helluva thick. looking for one with a much much slimmer profile..
ordered a caseolgy vault II of amazon, hope it fits the bill. theres nothing from samsung thats anything like the OEM slim case they had for the note 4.
any other suggestions for a slim tpu case that will work perfectly with wireless charging.
UAG says on their site that their cases do. I use UAG for the kids and also had one for my note II. awesome for protection, but looks funny in the boardroom in my hand next to a Rolex... if you get what i mean. design aesthetic more for bungee diving.
I know that it says it doesn't work in the amazon listing. Let me know what you think of that caseology vault. Looking for something that doesn't look like constuction equipment as well haha.

will do.
its on the website and the packaging
yes this is no secret or a major flaw. its a highly rugged case. i posted about this in the accessories forum with photos when someone asked about it. but.. appreciate your efforts though.. :good:
why dont you post or look in the accessory subforum instead of general?
Samsung's accessory website states clearly it doesn't work with all wireless chargers. I have the old "puck" style and it does work with it. I don't have the new "convertible" one to test with.
i didnt look it up on sammys website. and its not stated onthe box. so i bought it.
it is stated on a piece of paper in the box though.
my bad, should have posted in acc forum.
we should make a list of covers that 100% work in real world experience with wireless chargers a sticky. would be real helpful for those of us looking to buy one.
I want to like the case but I'm returning it for a Speck Presidio grip as it's a bit thinner.
The Samsung is too bulky and the Speck gives just as much protection IMHO.
The Best Buy branded TPU actually fits nice. Button tactile feedback is a bit weak as are the protrusions and it's overpriced by 100% (JMHO) but it's available right now...
Waiting for Diztronic to release theirs. The first revision for the S8+ was a disaster but they fixed that with a revised one.
The phone is sleek naked but one drop is going to be an expensive mistake, most likely. So there's that.
its stated on the website of samsung that it doesnt work buddy, the reason it doesnt work is because there's a steel plate inside.
Thats odd, it works with mine just fine.

tried several times, intermittent at best.

now i DO have the choetech charger and believe it or not the charger seems to charge the phone THROUGH the case!!!

If you lay it down flat it will charge.

Ive done that and it does not do it reliably. It's hit or miss.
No worries at all because I dont use the military case for day to day. I use the alcantara for that...
Moreover, i bought the convertible knowing the case would not work, and i also bought the convertible to be able to use the phone/have it in portrait mode since that's a feature of the charge pad...
I have both the Samsung convertible, and slanted fast chargers. It works with a little effort in both potrait and landscape modes. Similar to my s8+ in its Lifeproof Fré case, but it won't work in portrait mode

My ruggedized case works with my older Spigen tilted charger, likely due to the padding the convertible charger has

I also returned my Samsung rugged case and switched to the Speck Presidio Grip. I don't care about wireless charging, but I thought the case actually felt less protective than the Speck case. I wanted to like it because of the kickstand and because of how awesome it looked from the back, but between the thickness and the tiny front lip, the case just seemed a bit off to me.
Edit: I will say that the Samsung case felt great in my hand. It is super smooth but still grippy. If it was a bit thinner and had a slightly bigger front lip it would be my favorite case hands down.
Anyone try the Samsung Alcantara case yet?

Yes ive had it a few days now. Its premium. Classy. Worth the price of admission.
Do you have a specific question about it?

Yes. It is nice, but it attracts pocket lint (I had the black), and I personally didn't like how it felt in the hand. It was slippery, and it made my palms sweat...I returned it.

Yep, feels shaggy to me. Reminds me of the leather iPhone case turned inside out! I'm returning it. Currently using the best buy insignia brand black TPU. Best case I have for now.
