They are, but it's way too expensive for a case

I just bought these and will post picks when I get both my z3 and the cases
http://www.mobilefun.com/48903-6-in-1-silicone-sony-xperia-z3-case-pack.htm

When will there start being more case selections... I feel like the selection is poor right now..

Anyone who is using a clear hard case? For example casemate?

I've done a short review of the Smart window style cover in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56541197

Wasn't going to use a case with the phone, but I've almost dropped it at least 5 times in the last few days. I ordered the Ringke Fusion case smoke black. I had one for my Z1 Compact and it worked amazingly well, dropped it from about 5 feet onto hard concrete multiple times without any issues, feels extremely solid. It has a hard plastic back and soft, rubbery silicone edges.

Metal Case now available for TD2

Hi everyone,
I'm overprotective of my devices, so once I saw this I bought it.
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000630&products_id=17582
It comes in black or silver and with or without a transparent plastic protection over the screen.
nice case. but the thing i don't understand about these cases is that they do not protect the screen, so they are farily useless right ? I mean you can't chuck the phone in you bag with this case ?
There are 2 models of PDAir aluminum case: one with plastic protective screen, and another without the protective screen.
PDAir: How long does shipping take?
I have used pdair before - very fast service 6 working days from date of order to delivery in the uk - have had 2 cases in the past - both excellent
Thanks, i've just ordered this one:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000630&products_id=18869 (silicon case)
When someone gets his, can he please post his feedback? Is it comfortable in your pocket, is it metalic from the inside (hence may hurt the device), etc...
disappointed ... zoom bar covered!

Look at this posting and pictures in this swiss forum. The last one is from PDair.
At the pictures the color seems to be sort of grey, but in reality it is darker. Looks and feels fine .

They were available on eBay before the P6800 were even officially released. I got one and it fits very well, but using the Samsung book case now.
There is lot of them there for very cheap:

I found one today while looking for the same thing myself. Can't post links due to be a new site member, but if you look up on ebay the user 'freebitsuk' you'll be able to get to their store.
They also have it bundled with a screen protector too. Three colors available black, pink & purple.

How flexible would you say this case is? I'm deciding between this one and a silicon case myself. I'd like something more flexible than a plastic hard case, but not as floppy as silicone.
morkli,
Thanks!
I've ordered the cheaper one
Don't know how long they will take to deliver, though.

dont worry about that,quality really good. cant be break easy,and feel nice when you hold it,smooth put on face.
I have the Smasung OEM case and it works beautifully....for me I think covering the screen is more important than covering the aluminium back. The first perceived issue with the OEM case "flap" is really not an issue at all as mine has never flapped open becuase of the way it is carried. In edition, it can be positioned in either landscape or portrait mode. It is a good idea to keep the rubber grip edge on the case clean so it continues to grip any surface. This device is such a beautiful design that I find the Samsung case compliments it very well.

TPU stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethane, it's a different material from silicone.
Generally firmer and has a more rigid structure.

Take a look at "Anymode"
http://www.anymode.co.uk/mobile phone/galaxy note 3/touch hard case
It completely cover your phone, back and front with transparent plastic shell.
As for user experience, it failed completely. To use its provided front protector, you need to increase touch sensitivity, which sometimes doesn't work.
I got frustrated and throw it away already. Well.. at least it completely covers the phone as you asked for!!

Since you seem to be in US - I have the EU version of this:
http://www.amazon.com/GENUINE-Black-MUZZANO-SAMSUNG-GALAXY/dp/B00FGXZLG4/
The quality in my model is excellent for the price - but the EU version was offered by mumbi (under a name like X-TPU) and was only 2 colors, so it might be a little different.
Depending on your definition about slim, you can take a look at this one:http://goo.gl/jtnRVd

Body Glove
I'm using the Body Glove Shocksuit for my Note III. It's slim and covers the entire phone I had one on my S III before. It's is good looking and tough. You can't find it on their site. I ordered it off of Amazon.
Hi guys I've just found a great case it's on ebay 0.3mm thick covers all but a small section of the bezel at the bottom. It adds virtually no bulk, phone feels great to hold again, and it cost less than £3 !!! It's just arrived and I'm really chuffed with it only issue so far is It isn't raised past the camera at the back, cutouts seem nice tho! Ive added the link below, Hope this helps you all. This case is super thin!!

This case really add's no additional security from drops but protects the screen real good.
I ordered a Spigen NeoHybrid case. It's on the way and can't wait to try that.
The phone is worth too much money for me to go full naked with it. Don't trust myself.. LoL

Bumper Style Case?

Anyone seen one? Want something relatively thin just to protect the edges. All the cases you seem to find are folio style or OTT protection.
There isn't much available for this tablet. Unfortunately, It's mostly cheap folio cases. The only others I've seen were the Poetic cases.
Yeah pretty slim pickings Even looked at 3D printing a case.
Ive been looking for one forever and haven't found any. I thought sit getting a custom made 3D printed bumper but it wasn't worth the cost. If you find anything let us know!

Which I thought I might be able to modify and send off to a 3D print service like Shapeways.
Really after something thin just to protect the edges to be honest. Apple bumper style.

Yes, yes, we are waiting for news! As soon will be available to buy 2 pieces!
If anyone decides to do this, I'd be in for 4!
I'll take one if they're good! I would love for there to be more options like hybrid phone cases. I have a poetic and hate it. I cut the rubber off the button area because the power button just wasn't registering when I pushed it. And the usb port cover kept popping out so I cut that off too lol.. And the screen protector is so wavy and distracting that I took that out. I've got a tempered glass protector, which is so much better. I tried a cheap flip case but when it's folded behind its so annoying. Why don't they make them with magnets to hold them in place?

Bumper case anyone?

With the soft grip/nylon/leather back & strong screen this phone to me seems like an ideal canidate for a bumper case to protect the edges from getting scratched up. Anyone found/using one?
Thanks
Never had any luck with bumper cases. Always seemed to peel off when taking phone out my pocket. I just go with a full case but I always try and find one not so bulky.
Usually Verizon puts one out for their droids I think.

Moto X Pure comes with a bumper case, but I think that's because of the high likelihood of screen breakage on the phone.

I'm very happy with this TPU case ordered from Amazon.com. It is offered in a few colors. They are about as thin a case as I have ever used. I did have a thin hard shell case for my Moto X that I liked a bit better. But, this does the trick and improves the handling.

I haven't seen anyone making just a nice simple rubber bumper yet for this phone.
If you find one, please post it!
I would really want a bumper one friend of mine has a moto x and it look really clean.
Incipio Bumper?
I emailed Incipio and asked if they had plans to make a bumper for the T2. Maybe it would help if more people emailed them and asked. Here is the email I got back.
Hello,
Thank you for the email. At this time we are not sure if we are going to release a bumper case for the Moto Droid Turbo 2. We kindly ask that you follow us on social media and sign up for our newsletter for upcoming announcements and release dates.
Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
