Smart window style cover - Xperia Z3 Accessories

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/style-cover-scr24/#copper
I've been looking at these, launching in November.
I'm really in 2 minds about them though.
I don't generally buy cases & hate all the flapping about to answer calls etc.
What are you guys thoughts on the smart cover?

I don't usually like these type of flip covers. However, the official flip covers for the Samsung S5 were great. Really good build quality, and a nice feel to them.
It's hard to be able to make a judgement when the case isn't released yet, so I'll be waiting to see some more photos and reviews before shelling out on one of these, as they're hardly a budget offering.
Looking at a couple of videos on YouTube, it looks like these cases will attach with a kind of adhesive? I'm yet to be convinced.

Not a fan.. The flap is always there which is the problem with these in my opinion.

I decided to buy one of these cases.
Let me tell you right now... I hate cases. I've never had a case for a single one of my devices.
However, I was a little annoyed at how scratched the rear of my Xperia Z became.
Been using this case for a few days now & it's great.
It doesn't attach to the case in the normal way, it 'sticks' to a large strip on the inside rear of the case.
I've removed & replaced the phone numerous times & it's had no effect on the stickiness of the strip at all.
There's no side protection to the case so it's not going to give much on the side of impact protection if dropped.
The style window is awesome though.
You can set multiple lock screen widgets to it to flick through when closed. Closing with screen on switches to style window widget for a few seconds & opening unlocks the screen.
Text notifications are shown on the window & incoming calls can be answered by swiping the window without opening. If a call is placed on the phone the case can be closed with caller id & swipe to hang up on the style window.
The case can be folded behind easily & there's access for all buttons & flaps & can also be placed on magnetic charging dock while closed (included with the case is a dock adapter for case width).
Swiping the camera icon on the window or holding the camera hard button down allows to take pictures while showing camera preview on the style window without opening the case.
Playing music is also shown on the style window with track buttons.
The slimness adds next to nothing on phone thickness.
I'm quite impressed with it tbh.

Is that the only official case available to buy? Or is the wireless charging cover for sale now too?

I just bought one of these cases and I'm waiting for it to arrive. Couldn't find one for sale in Canada so I bought from the UK. I had one like this for my LG G2, but it snapped on the back. The quick window is a necessity for me.

Can you link to any YouTube videos? I looked but can't find any, maybe I'm not searching for the right thing?

It does attach with a large sticky pad.
The phone comes off easily leaving no residue on the back of the phone.
I've removed the phone numerous times & it's had no adverse effect of the stickiness of the pad.

Hi, i have one if these but cant read text messages in the window as you are supposed to be able to do. I can see a notification but have to open the cover to read it.
U did the NFC thing and downloaded and set the theme, the box is ticked in the read notifucation in the security settings.
Did you have to do anything extra to read texts in the window?
Thanks.

I don't see the contents of messages either, just message alert.

Ok thanks for that but we are supposed to be able to open and read the text messages in the window.

Oh, ok. I'm happy with the way it is for privacy reasons but if you do find a solution post it up.

Will do.

So I bought this Case from Sony directly in Copper.
It shines a bit so it looks a little gay.
For the rest I can confirm what the others said. It is small so your phone won't get that much thicker.
The smartwindow function is pretty cool.
I wish there would be a magnet to keep it closed and have it more straight on the phone because sometimes you have to press the case a little more on the screen to get the touch responsiveness.
I am very happy with it.
I bought the DK48 Dockingstation too and will add details on how it fits with the case when I got it.

Hi, got a response from Sony, to view messages in the window you have to set hangouts as the default messaging app then use the hangouts widget in the window to view messages.

I too got mine today (quite mad for Sony to have kept us waiting this long - and given the two day delivery, Amazon has clearly got these from elsewhere in the EU so they're probably STILL not on sale in the UK officially yet).
I got mine in copper, to match the phone. Let me just say this - DON'T GET COPPER! It is indeed quite shiny and actually looks quite tacky, but having waited so long I decided to unpack it and set it up, so I guess I'm stuck with it.
If you have the copper phone, I'd say go for black. It will contrast nicely and look a whole lot more professional. This case looks like something you'd get from a market.
As has been said elsewhere, including YouTube video reviews, the cover doesn't sit flat unless it's flat on a desk - and even then it raises up a bit because there's no magnet or sufficient weight in the front cover to hold it down.
I downloaded the app and basically it's just like a lock screen with the usual lock screen widgets. No major problem there, and from the home panel you can also launch the camera in a mini view - but it also takes 4:3 pictures and doesn't let you change modes. I assume it uses the superior auto mode, but it doesn't say if it detects the scene or anything. Frankly, just use the normal camera button if I were you.
It also comes with a new dock insert, which is good. You keep the cover closed when it's docked, unlike the Roxfit flip cover (that also acts as a stand, which this does not because it's glued on the back of the phone) and when it's docked, the cover falls forward a bit - which isn't exactly helping stop it gradually getting looser and looser. And I used a Daydream 'screen saver' on the phone before, to show a clock and weather. It still loads, but as you might have expected - it doesn't resize and is now useless. There's no Xperia Daydream mode so the best thing I've found so far is Timely and using that to show the time/date.
As for the way it's stuck on the back.. I removed my rear film protector as I didn't want that peeling off with the cover - but even now it doesn't feel like a rock solid adhesion. If I dropped this phone, would it realistically hold in the case? I expect not and most likely it will fly off if you did drop it.
Worse still, if I want to take it out of the case then how many times will I be able to re-stick the case to the phone before the glue has all gone? There's no way to change this, so are you supposed to just bin it and buy another one? To me it seems like an insane way to connect to the phone. Why not the usual grips around the edge? To keep it thin? That could come at a huge cost.
Anyway, despite all the negativity I've just pointed out, it's quite nice to have the window showing key info at a glance (and to finally turn the screen on/off by opening the cover) - but you do still need to open the cover to do anything beyond seeing a notification or info on a widget (e.g. BBC News headlines). Given how few are likely to sell, don't expect loads of developers to be queuing up to modify apps to show through the small window either. What you get now is probably what you'll ever get.
That said, if anyone does find any other good apps/widgets that work well with this cover then please do post here. I can't help but feel this case will drop in price fairly quickly.
Edit: Another thing; when a call comes in, you can answer from the window - but with the cover on the proximity sensor obviously can't work. Thus you can't get the screen back on (it had gone off on mine, presumably after the usual timeout) without opening the phone, or using the power button.

I got this case the other day and so far I have mixed feelings. I like how thin the case is but I don't like that there is plastic in the window. I had an LG G2 quick view case on my last phone and the window was empty. This made using the screen with the cover closed a lot easier. Also the window plastic gets very dirty.
Lastly, my biggest complaint is that when you have the front flap open and flipped around to the back it covers the camera. So with this case you can only take full screen pictures with the case hanging open. This may seem minor but I feel like it is these little oversights that make a big difference. I really expected more from a Sony made case.
For the widgets, Zooper Widget shows up in the list so you can use that to make a lot of interesting widgets. Also Media Utilities. I have also found that Plex, Yahoo Weather, podcast addict and hoopla widgets work in the window.

"The first time you use Style Cover Window SCR24, you establish a connection to your Xperia™ Z3 and get the opportunity to download dedicated smart window widgets and apps. This makes it possible for you to decide exactly what happens when you open and close the cover. Customize and enjoy smart window functions the way you want them".
Get the opportunity? Hm...
Where to get it?
I did not discover any widgets and apps on Google Play . Only themes...

What app do you mean? From where did you downloaded? Please provide a link

Guys just wondering, does your screen turn off when you close the case? I can't find the magnetic sensor on my Z3 dual. Do you still need to pair this case via NFC?

a holder/hanging system holding the device during flight ?

Hi , I get tired of holding the device at reasonable level in front of me while watching episodes/movie during flight.
It seems possible to bend some plastic to fix the HTC to the raised eating tray (jam the "holder" between the closed tray..)
did you see something like this before ? - or any similar solution ?

Not seen one but sounds great!...sounds like you have the idea.
It isn't too difficult to make something like this from aluminium, or even perspex plastic just some considered bending.
I am a steel fabricator(amongst other things!) next time you are on the plane take some cardboard with you and make a dummy one with it, then you can use it later to make one from something more substantial.... and sell them all over the world to Iphone users!
yes, it would need to be a flexible material, yet hold a device without acting too much as a a spring.
I don't think "one size fits all" - it have to be adjustable in height/distance to the user.
Too bad a suction cup won't work.
I use one of these in my car. Works great.

It's sold as accessory for a certin crappy, censorship, survelliance-device.

you can find it on Ebay

Graphics Skins for Gtab..$10.95.. lots of selection

Found this the other day in my parousing for accesories for the tab but noticed it hadn't been posted here.... decent selection, close to 300 designs.... Stupid cheap... about time i've been looking for a while for more than just the carbon fiber ones.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ViewSonic-G-Tab...tem2a11553fb8&clk_rvr_id=245990579742&afsrc=1
I ordered one of these and in discussion if they had any alternative's that had more of an astronomy type back ground the person i was in email contact with indicated they could make these as customs with a pic that you provided. If that interests any one contact them and see what they might could do for you.
Holy macaroni.
http://www.ridicgraphics.com/2011/designs/viewsonicgtablet/
The first thing I noticed is that 99% of these "skins" are in portrait mode. I use my gTab in mostly landscape mode.
The second thing I noticed is that there is no link to the wallpapers for these "G-Tablet Skins" for you to download and use to blend with the skin on the bezel of the gTab after you purchase and apply one of these. I saw there are wallpaper links for other devices but couldn't find one for the gTab.
So this may be exciting for some folks but I didn't find it useful. What I would find interesting would be skins that could look good in either portrait or landscape mode (like the carbon fiber skin I already have).
Also, since I have my gTab in a CLIP case about 85% of the time I seldom think about the skins anymore.
If you want the skin in landscape just ask them. I'm sure they'll accomodate they offered me the ability to make a cutom from a pic that i sent them... i wanted an astronomy theme.. but decided on #246 ...
the back ground.. you download the one for the NOOK color list under "ebooks"... it's an android tablet after all... (you'll have to do some creative cropping to get it to fit right)
I can't find a way to lock the wallpaper in landscape, is that possible? In other words, I want to be able to use my tablet in portraite mode but have the wallpaper still be in landscape mode so it still matches the skin.
I havn't figured out a way... may be there is an app that allows you to have multiple wallpapers... one for landscape and one for portrait...I remember seeing something along those lines somewhere... it may be a feature that is specific to certian Launchers also.. did a quick search and there was an app but it wasn't rated very well...

yeah i saw that somewhere too i thinks its something like multipicturelive or something.......
HOLY COW!!!!!
If the selection from the Ebay dealer listed above wasn't quiet what you're looking for.. a shlew of skins turned up in a search on Amazon this AM... check it out... a bit more pricey.. $17.95 ,still not bad compared to the $30 selection we used to have.... but a TON more designs......
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...VIEWSONIC+GTABLET+SKIN&ie=UTF8&qid=1310642213
Did anyone get theirs made? How did it come out? Does it cover the sides like the carbon fibers do? I only ask because I just bought a P3 case on eBay and everything's going to be covered (even the left speaker ) except the sides where the power button is and the other side. Thanks if anyone can help
has anyone gotten these yet and tried them out? i really want to know about the quality and stuff cuase i was interested
I got #246 the grill looking one from the ebay store.. and no it doesn't cover the sides.. there is about a 1/16 inch (1.5mm) around the perimiter on both the front and back... wich is desirable on the back, keeps it from picking up and collecting dust and swarf... the front is ok.. i would look better benig all the way out to the edge.. but the guys at ridic graphics (ebay store) said that they were having issues with people stretching them while they were putting them on that's why they cut the perimiter in a bit.. graphics look pretty good.. not grainny at all... applied easy enough, though a second set of hands made it easier, someone holding the skin up while you locate it is ideal...... over all i'm satisfied...
thinking of seriously getting one from the amazon store because of the astronomy backround selections they have.. if i do i'll comment on them as well...
About time someone started making these. Anyone have a picture of the fit quality once its installed?
I posted some pics in my original thread on Android tablets forum...
they show the bo-bo'd bezel cut line but Ridic graphics sent me a replacement that makes the gap around the top skin more uniform..

DIY: Note3-to-Laptop Clip

Hi, first I want to apologize because I don't know where to post. I thought Accessories section was appropriate.
After searching all over the internet for weeks trying to find some device that attach phone to laptop I could not find anything. Actually I found two, one looked way to bulky and had mixed reviews and the other I liked (Kickstarter project: Sidecar) but these products never gets made for non-Apple products. I was not surprised there.
I could just get a kickstand case or a portable stand but I didn't want to do that since I don't always work on a desk and I also spent my case money on Spigen Slim Armor S-View. Actually, this case is a necessity. The clip was designed to work with this case but I can see how I could modify it to work with other cases.
Anyways, I decided to do-it-myself. After lot's of prototypes, sandblasting, drilling, and superglue, it actually turned out really good. It clips on and off smoothly with no effort but it stays on securely. I can even lift my laptop and travel across the room with it and it stayed on. I was impressed. It also worked as a portrait-mode kickstand in two different angles but landscape mode didn't work so well. But the fact that it doubles as kickstand was a nice little bonus. One thing I don't like was that it covered quite a big chunk of my display since the Note3 is so massive. But to me it works because my screen resolution is 3200x1800 and the convenience of this set-up is just perfect work-environment for me. Especially with Samsung's SideSync software. SideSync lets you control phone with laptop keyboard and mouse, drag and drop, and other stuff. Really cool.
I'm going to post some pictures, let me know what you think.
I just don't get it...:banghead:

Im sorry but what is the point from hanging you phone this way and blocking part of your laptop screen !
Sent from my SM-N900 using Tapatalk 2
Yea, it wouldn't be that bad of an idea if it didn't block half of your screen. Why not make it so it clips outside of the screen instead of in front of it?
Hmm I made a replied to thread but it gave me an error.
Anyways I just wanted to say thanks for replying. I agree the screen covering is a bummer but it actually gives me a more real estate in dual screen set up with SideSync. It boosted my work flow even if it was just to play a movie while doing repetitive work. I can play movie on the laptop as well but that drains my battery from 10 to 3 hours which is not long enough to finish work. But if only it didn't cover up the screen....

My question is, if you're going to take up part of your screen with the phone, while using SideSync, why not just show the phone's screen on the laptop, and then size it a bit smaller, as shown on the SideSync webpage instead of clipping it to the front of the screen? At least that way you could move the visual representation of the phone around if you wanted to.
I tried the phone screen on laptop but it is a little laggy. Not bad but I want smooth experience. Using mouse and keyboard on phone screen has zero lag.
nope.
I applaud you for the ingenuity. I'm a big fan of DIY projects, but this is a very specific to your personal needs piece of work. Got me inspired though. Might model and print a clip that hangs it on the side of my screen. Problem is getting sidesync to work fully on thinkpad.
I used dual-sided suction cups back when I was tethering my network to my iPhone.

Samsung notes lack in handwriting recognition

I did test the s6 at a retailer and I noticed that the Samsung Notes App did not recognize my handwriting in landscape mode at a specific place. It was when I did get closer with my palm to the edge (with power and volume button on the upper side).
At the middle kind of a little bit to the right there seems to be a blind spot where writing/drawing is not recognized in first place. Only after second or third attempt and then it seems like the recognition of the pressure is half off.
Don't know if the bright light from above or a already often used spen causes this.
Can any owner confirm?
Picture is attached (left space is empty because I did not encounter issues there)

HAH.
Yes indeed it was on a stand with a magnet on top to hold the device. And that field where i could not draw would fit the size of that magnet..
Unbelivable that you have to keep such things in mind when you want to you a tablet with that price...
Does Apple have such problems with their ipad series? Im so much struggling in the decision if apple or samsung. Im a Android guy and would like to keep my Android world but i want a performant device which does not have childhood injuries like that....

It isn't the tablet, but the case/holder.
I have two cases. One which the tab slips in to a holder—no probs there.
My other case holds the tab (very securely) with a magnet—therefore the dead spot. Love this case, except for the dead spot ceated by the stting magnet. This an awesome case in every other way, especially because there is nothing blocking the sides of the tablet, no edge swipe issues, et al.
So, I've just accepted that if I want to do any serious S-pen writing or drawing I have to either go case-less, or switch to the other one.

"The outer screen is almost useless. "

Before I bought the Fold, I read several reviews that all claimed the outer screen was too small to be of any use at all. I've found this to be totally untrue. I use the smaller screen more often than I do the inner screen. It's great for quick messaging, taking phone or video calls, and even reading news articles. I don't know what they were talking about lol
I figured I would make this post to let others know that the outer screen is very useful. I think the reviewers were just spoiled by the giant inner screen so they found the smaller outer screen "useless".
Using the phone closed with just the outer screen is actually more comfortable than anything I've used in years for one handed use. These days phones have become hard to handle with one hand, but the Fold when closed is not at all. Great when you're on the move or just want to be more discrete while reading something.
Cheers.
I agree 100%. The outer screen is what I use most of the time, If I am sat at home in the evening and want to watch some media (while the wife has something else on the TV!) or edit some photos, then I use the inner screen, everything else I use the outer screen. Maybe its because I can remember the days when a 4.6 inch screen would have been considered "large".
I use the outer screen to control my music player quite often, but the keyboard is too small for me to use that screen for much else.

If you look at the keyboard when typing it's fine and swipe works well too.
For me the outer screen suits me for most usage and when I need a bigger screen I flip it open..
As a result of using both screens my battery life is much better than on the note 10plus
:good:

absolutely correct.
pardon my partial vent, but this is what happens when these idiots make these "Review" videos, after only having used the device on Launch Day ffs.
for a bunch of "tech enthusiasts" whose job is to delve into a device, almost all of these reviews are cookie cutter, and just regurgitating spec sheets.
unfortunately, it's all about being first in this day. who cares, rifle out the content. end vent
back to the front screen, from all the fold videos i've seen, yes the thinner/narrower body is much better for one-handed use,
but almost everyone complains about typing, in which cases, is two handed typing.
i think only 2 reviewers have mentioned that it's very useful for a particular type of user: the keyboard swiping kind.
lastly, i didn't see any of these "two handed typing" people complaining about the keyboard on an iphone 3-4 with a 3.5" screen, when android phones of that time were already 5"+.
oh well i guess
You are so right!
100 percent agree with you come to think of it I'm using the small screen to type this haha
The outer screen is handy for a quick reply specially on the road.
I agree. I use the inner screen for composing Outlook messages or participating in Skype for Business/Microsoft Team meetings, LinkedIn Learning or ther media watching. Once Sun sets, I use my Samsung Ultra 20 5G for tweeting and other social activities.
100% agree. And When I started using swipe keyboard I was able to make the keys large enough to be useable for me. That might be an option for some.
