If anyone is interested I have spoken to the TemperedArmor team and they are willing to make a tempered glass screen protector for the Verizon Xperia Z3v if they can get about 40 preorders. I'm already in to buy one if they can.
Take a look: https://twitter.com/temperedarmor/status/524620105326804992
Would appreciate if anyone can spread the word and help out.
Have you checked if the Z2 or Chinese version Z2 protectors will fit?

Regular Z2 is smaller than the Z3v for certain. I wasn't able to find any for the Chinese L50t or L50u model before but I actually just found one and sold in the US too. Decided to bite the bullet and give it a try.
Thanks for the idea! :good:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/291263724400
Will be sure to let everyone know how it works after it arrives. *crosses fingers*
Details:
Sony Xperia Z2 (Regular model): 146.8 x 73.3 x 8.2 mm
Sony Xperia Z2 (Chinese model) : 149 x 73.3 x 8.2 mm
Sony Xperia Z3 (Regular model): 146 x 72 x 7.3 mm
Sony Xperia Z3v (Verizon model): 148.5 x 73.4 x 8.9 mm
Further investigation:
Interesting enough even the design language of the Chinese Z2 model is slightly different from regular Z2 and pretty much matches what the Z3v is based on (excluding the magnetic dock port). You can compare the two below against the Z3v.

Xperia Z3v pics: http://www.cnet.com/products/sony-xperia-z3v/
half a mm on both length and width, I'd say it should fit perfectly. That's the overall size too so the curve of the frame accounts for some of that. Hope this goes well for you!
Well we're in luck, looks like Verizon has their own glass screen protectors officially for the Z3v right on day 1. Impressive!

I'm not familiar with Rhino Shield. Why is this better than other options? Just curious.

Are you asking me to google this for you?
No, I'm asking you why you feel it is better than other options. I can Google Rhino Shield (and have already) but I cannot Google your opinion based on your personal experience.
Check out my Z3 review, they will have Z3v next week and for $6 it's a steal
I haven't used a screen protector in years. The galaxy s3 was my last phone for more than two years with no scratch. The z3v screen seems just as tough.

How did the L50T screen protector work on the Z3v? I have been looking at picking up a Nillkin one from Amazon.
Any updates for L50t fit?
How does it fit?

Hi can anyone recommend a screen protector for a MDA compact V -
i had ordered a martin field screen protector for a diamond2 but it is competely the wrong shape ( ordered from a reputable supplier so fairly certain its not a fake.)
the one that came with the phone is pretty scratched up and and desperately in need of replacement.
any help greatfully recieved.
thanks
maybe its a fake.....
em......
just to add the SP does not have a space for the video calling camera, maybe it is a fake but i got it from mobilefun.co.uk
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/martin-fields-screen-protector-htc-touch-diamond2-p19940.htm
could anypne clarify if the diamond 2 has a video calling camera on the front?
thanks
Yup, it does
guess that confirms it - i emailed producers of martin fields SP and they were not bothed by someone selling fakes with thier name on it....
so back to my original question does anyone kow of a SP that fits the compact V? even T mobile dont sell one.
seller on ebay - protectionfilms24 sells MDA Compact V screen protectors, pack of 6,
I bought some, they do fit and are ok but to be honest I liked the one that came with the phone but have been unable to find them anywhere too. You would think Tmobile would sell them as they should be a good (probably high profit) seller !

I was looking for a replacement screen protector for my new Compact V because I find the one T-Mobile supplied smears and fogs the screen when viewed in unfavourable lighting. Don't you find this also?

Let us know how you get on - I also bought a TD2 screen protector that didn't fit because of the slightly different shape of the Compact V and am looking for a replacement.
htc pure aka compact v?
i have just ordered one from
www.protectionfilms24.com
will let you know how it fits.....
on another question has anyone found a gel like case for the compact V? is it true that the HTC pure is the smae as the compact V
I have just got one of the DuraSec High Tec screen protectors from
http://www.durasec.com/catalog/index.php?language=en
It good quality but a bugger to fit but for £9.00 including postage it was worth it.

well this one from amazon fits like a glove, excellent coverage and super smooth - would recommend!
I recommend this auction. For little more than £3 you get 6 screen protectors. Sure, they are not the best, supersonic stuff you can buy, but they are very decent at the same time.

im getting the sony smart watch with my preorder for sony xperia s, maybe smart tags in box too if im lucky.
Will be looking for a good case for this. I like leather pouches with pull tabs. Ordered this for my galaxy - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0071QPIV2/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details but it will be going back along with the phone. It seems the dimensions are a little short for the Xperia S

Anyone else depressed by the fact it has the flappy usb covers and that hdmi is on other side? Trying to think of some way to make a powered dock because i doubt one will be released. a real shame, even the cheaper p and the ion have docks.

This case arrived today, it's really nice. Does anyone think I'd get away with using this on an Xperia S?
Xperia S dimensions - 128 x 64 x 10.6mm
Galaxy Nexus - 135.5 x 67.94 x 8.94mm
Galaxy Nexus is a bit taller/wider, Xperia S is fatter. It means in terms of height the Xperia S will fit in the case, but it may be a bit "loose" on the width. With it being fatter though it may sit more snugly in the case regardless of the smaller width.
I have till the 30th of March to return it to Amazon, I guess I can hold onto it until my Xperia S arrives on the 12th - Although I won't be able to open it anyway (if I want to be able to return).
Looks like there's going to be an official sony hard case:

Haicom is a very good brand, I've had their vent holders for my Xperia Neo and Xperia Arc, and they're simply wonderful. They don't damage your phones, they're very sturdy, it's great! And they are very cheap! Worth a go!
I was slightly wrong and didn't notice the ones I linked were universal ones. It'll take a week or two-three and then we'll see custom-made Haicom ones appearing.

Thanks for that, but like I mentioned I prefer it to be windscreen holder, because I like to use a phone as video recorder as well. I know, I am picky.

Hey rajmistry,
There are a lot of windshield holders out there that will work given the Xperia S has 4.3" display. I have a LUXA2 H5 windshield holder for the Xperia Arc that I am using today. It's a little costly compared to other generic solutions out there, but the aluminum that they use is really nice.

I have found it very convenient to use a bumper case/neoprene sleeve combo with all of my previous phones (most recently the Oneplus One) , but I have looked and looked and looked for a neoprene sleeve/pouch for the Z Ultra with zero luck. I am talking about something like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Andro.../121442114077?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:U:US:1120
Does anyone know if such thing exists for the Z Ultra?
Thank you in advance!
I continue to look for the same. The closest/best I've found (not purchased) is ebay 360689146381. It's about 20cm by 15 cm. Haven't found anything specific for the ZU, have to go for e-reader/small tablet ones.
Thanks. I cannot find the sleeve dimension in the listing. You can pick Xperia Z Ultra from the drop down menu, but I am not sure that means that the sleeve size is customized for the Ultra, or just that Ultra will fit in it (20 by 15 is a little big).
Edit: This one is 20 by 13.5; a little pricier because of the design, but also closer in size to the Ultra:

Maybe this one, I bought it for my C6833. It's made by genuine leather - please see the pictures. Don't be bothered by the back mirror.
It is from local manufacturer in Serbia and is marketed under name "Spes". They may be willing to send abroad. The links are:
https://sr-rs.facebook.com/SpesLeather
http://www.kupujemprodajem.com/Kozne-futrole-pull-out-SPES-za-sve-6373446-oglas.htm
Local price is about EUR 10,00 plus post charges. I didn't find any link in English.
That's a nice sleeve, thanks for posting. Does the phone fit in there only "naked"? Or can you have a thin bumper case on it?

The phone fits in so closely (almost tight) so that no bumper can be on it. But I think you may check with the producers whether they can make the case with some special dimensions. They are not a big company with a big production, so a single special order is maybe possible.
Edit: I see now on their Facebook page the words "ručni rad". That meens hand made, made by hand
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.

I bought a new Z7 mini and within 3 weeks i dropped it. I had a clear IMAK naked air case on it and unfortunately it fell at one of the edges where the case is not covered (in the front bottom corner). I had to spend a mini-fortune to send it to china to get it repaired and fixed.
So it proved that these naked aircases do not work.
I am now looking for a full body covered shockproof or drop proof case. Unfortunately there are very limited options for Z7 mini. I am just envious at the options One plus one has.
I am looking for something like

I bought a metal frame and tempered glass but I still have to test them.
Anyway there are plenty of choices buy since this phone is made for China market you'll have to search on sites selling from China, like the one above, to see what's available.
