SCR24 Sony Flip Case - Xperia Z3 Accessories

I'm following sony internet shop for a couple of days now and it still says that SCR24 is coming soon.
Does anybody have any info when is this case to be released?
P.S. I was hoping before 3rd of November (amazon.co.uk info).
Regards,
Jure

Swedish stores (not sonys) says between 15/10 - 21/10 although I wouldn't trust them to much.

Annoyed to get an email from Amazon saying it has slipped almost a month (Nov 4th on my email).
I wonder if there's a quality control issue or something with them?

---

Here's their reply to me on Twitter when inquired about the slip in availability: " Delays can sometimes happen with these kind of things and they're always subject to change sadly. Stay tuned!". Means nothing. Too bad Sony is releasing so many flagship phones a year that it's accessories market is apparently unable to keep the pace. The same happened for the ACX2 cover to mount QX10/QX100 lenses on the Xperia Z1: an updated version for the Z2 was never released (I requested updates to Sony on every social media channel so many times I lost count about this), while theses lenses were still sold at the time they phone was announced... I've had my Z3 the very day it was on the market and I love it. It bothers me there's no decent cover from Sony for it yet.

This case cost 60 bucks....? is it even worth it lol?

---

This is unfortunately how Sony Works, they have no clue how to launch a product. They have the resources to release accessories on time but 9 times out of 10 they get delayed a few times. Some anticipated products dont even get released (see qi charging case for z2 and keyboard case for z2 tablet). Even the much loved zultra power case was in very limited supply on could only be purchased in certain countries. Some days I have to tell myself to be patient and not throw the towel in and convert to Samsung. It would be costly for me but its always at the back of my mind.

Sony has a history of being late with accessories. I'm thinking of when it released Vaio laptops, and even some Minidisc players. It's annoying, especially for early adopters who are willing to pay for them perhaps more than others.
When it comes to things like cases, irrespective of the price, surely people want something to protect their phone from day one?

---

Exactly, the SCR24 would be the successor of the fairly good - in my opinion - SCR10 case that protected my Z2... I am frustrated there's no decent way to protect my Z3 at this time, save for a Beyzacases leather sleeve I bought for my Z2 that also fits the Z3 but is not as nearly as good a solution as a proper case. It's true, the SCR24 is expensive but also features some gimmicks I don't mind and, more importantly, I haven't found anything yet that could replace it...

Just a head's up, TODAY Sony changed on their official website from *coming soon to *new. Therefore, it's official SCR24 is official out.
If somebody sees it anywhere (EU), please paste the link here.

Hope so really need a case...

Amazon still has a release day of the 3rd Nov, initially when I ordered they said the 14th of this month

On the official german website from sony, they've removed the case...it's not listed anymore.
on amazon germany you can still pre-order the case.

Got an email from Sony saying that they don't know when the release will be at the moment...

What a joke!!

Perhaps it will be out just as the Z4 comes out...

This Case is not kinda "plug n play" like others, you have to attach it into Z3's back by its sticky glue!

I have to say that after watching a video where it seems the cover doesn't stay shut easily, the fact it can't be folded into a stand (like the Z2 one) and the fact it sticks on - so I'd presumably need to remove the rear screen protector, or else it would pull it off - makes me sort of wonder if I actually want this cover.
I think I'll still get it, but could well find myself returning it quite quickly.
Maybe the sticky bit is what has caused the cover to be delayed. Sounds like a recipe for disaster if the phone falls off.

Edit: Got one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NH2C2R2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 instead. Going to cancel my order now, or wait until I see what others have to say.

Any news when the orriginal case's are available?

---

The Roxfit cased is good, but it doesn't allow charging via the dock. I stayed with the Sony one for just that reason.

Mine does. Admittedly it's a tight fit given the curved back, but it does fit.
