Hi all,
As we know, the dual sim version of the beloved Z3 has a different sized flap on the left of device (when facing it), as it houses the microsd and microusb.
Has anyone come across cases that are designed for the Dual yet?
thanks
Look for the Ringke Fusion on Amazon or eBay.
They certainly look like they have a bigger cutout indeed.
Do you already have one? How is it?

I've been using Ringke Fusion covers for the past 2 years, Galaxy S4, S5, Lg G3 and now the Z3, all of them are extremely well done, and since the Galaxy S5 they are using an anti-scratch material that simply works as advertised.
IMHO, the best looking cover and more versatile one for our Z3, the clear one let the beauty of the phone shows and they thought of everything, the cutout fits perfectly for the Dual (Although on the Regular Z3 the cutout seems a little weird and can cause you issues if you have OCD, because for obvious reason it doesn't match perfectly the regular flap) and they even thought on all the Magnetic Chargers and adapters out they left the clearance for it.
What case are you use now?

If this was directed to me, I'm using the Ringke Fusion like I mentioned above.
Just got my Ringke Fusions, to be honest, not a huge fan....
they are well constructed, and do seem like high quality, but:
1. I think its a little too thick for my liking
2. back is even more fingerprint magnet than the phone itself.
Anyone seen a thin, plastic back case for a dual?
I have the dual sim and a lot of cases and they all fit ,it has the same dimensions as the regular one .
I have a nillkin case that works great on my dual. All flaps are accessible. However, it doesn't sit well in the dock.

Zaki, yes, you're right, its got the same PHYSICAL dimensions, but the flap for the charger/microsd port is much larger than the standard Z3, which means cases with a cutout for the charger would have to be a larger cutout.
But does it fit with the bigger port/flap

HI sephstyler, did the case fit the dual sim version OK? Were you able to access all the ports ?

absolutely. fit is perfect and have access to microUSB, microSD and magnetic port. The flap for the dual sims on the right is blocked - not a hassle unless you take out your sims daily or whatever.
I had also ordered an imak crystal case.
Perfectly clear, very thin, looks great. fits wonderfully too. Also has a wide cut out for charger and sd flap.
Does seem to scuff fairly easily, so the pristine look wont last terribly long.
SGP might be a solution...

I saw this earlier, the thing is in some screenshots the cutout for micro usb is smaller and in some it is large. I'm really confused.

When they released the first pictures the USB cutout was the small one, for the Single SIM Z3, then they delayed the release and when they finally released it all of the covers were with the larger cutout, as if they decided to do just one cover to fit all versions, Single or dual sim ones.
Last week my friend got one of these for his new D6603 and for our surprise it came with the smaller cutout, perfect fit for the D6603, so right now I really don't know the one that they are going to send or if they simply decided to go back to the original smaller cutout design.

Well that can't be good for the dual z3 owners.. I currently have the nillkin one.. Its a nice case but doesn't quite offers suitable drop protection..
i have ringke fusion and it has correct cutouts for the dual sim version. Magnetic port good and microsd/charging.

I've tried a couple different touchpro2 cases and they do not fit my tilt2. I only want a hard rubberized case, no hard plastic or silicon gel ones.
Anyone know of a case that actually properly fits the tilt2?
I wish they made an
otter box type for the Tilt 2 but with the sliding keyboard/screen that is not an option.

The different versions of the Rhodium have slightly different dimensions, slight enough that a case that fits one version perfectly does not fit another...so I started a tilt2 specific thread.

Not yet, was hoping for more feedback before I buy one. My tilt2 is all scratched up already anyways, HTC really cut corners on the case compared to the original tilt.

YES!!! I would love to hear your feedback if you get this case!!! That one looks alot like this one that I was also considering from: eforcity dot com (since I can't post links since I'm new...)
I was also considering this one: onlytouchpro2 dot com It doesn't specify tilt2 so this was a last resort one.

seems to work pretty good. The top cover dosen't snap on as tight as the bottom one but it's not falling off. I can put this in my old HTC Excalibur leather pouch if I remove the knob for the clip. It fits tight but it does fit. You can still get to the top row on the keyboard when the screen is tilted with this cover on.

Hi guys.
I currently have a case from mobile fun that has s-view and qi charging. it is good but the screen is scratched and has seemingly made scuff marks on the phone screen also. at least i have a screen protector on.
i dont really utilise the benefits of the s view like music from the home screen etc and as soon as it moves slighlty off centre the full screen shows below so i lose the s view screen.
so, i want a case, not just a replacement back that has qi charging but not a flip cover/s view.
do they do them and are there any recommenations?

Glad you had a screen protector.
For the case you're looking for, I don't think so. Most people on here are using Qi insert receivers. Mine works fine. Use what ever case you want.

It's it easy to use a qi insert? Which is a good one, i read a lot about over heading with them.
I like the spigen slim armour case, any experience with it?

This thread has a lot of info... a lot.
I never tried that case, I use an insert with the Spigen Neo hybrid... works well... The insert is ineffective 5mm away from the charge pad. 1mm is taken from the insert and the backcover of the pphone... that leaves you with 4mm. Your case needs to be less than 4mm thick. I think the slim armour meets this.
Happy hunting.

Yo,
What cases do you use for your G2 Mini?
I think there's no such a big range for g2 mini
In my opinion there is a few interesting positions. I'm using Nillkin frosted shield and for me it's perfect but white colour is not a white anymore... It became dirty-yellow and it's not nice

I just saw it but i dont know if it would protect your phone from falling. check the youtube and screens how the case looks on the device.
I bought that one but in black:
back is like s5 and the inside is like Spigen and it's made of flexible TPU material. I just don't know how thick it is so it would protect from every fall. In 2 weeks i will get it so i will tell you how it's worn

i'm not here to hate everything but i'm not a fan of 'S-Line' which @ignasigh likes.
i just don't like when it shines, also like sides of first @plageran case

i like to write messages with this case, only.. i rather do not use cases so thats just for fun.
here are the photos:
Wow! It looks very nice
I can recommend case I'm using. accidently dropped a few times my phone, sometimes landed on screen but nothing happened.
Case does its job but like every case .. phone is somewhat thicker so maybe that's why i drop my phone sometimes

although, just to argue with myself, I've contacted Case-mate and they state that it should fit the magnetic dock. So either I'm being really thick, or my inserts for the DK48 aren't correct, or both......I'm going to recheck tonight!

The DK36 works with the Case Mate Barely there and the wider of the two inserts included in the packaging. It was about $20 on Amazon. It charges pretty quickly as well.

It will fit with 45B insert, unless you have glass screen protector on. The glass will cause 45B to be not fit.

This definitely isn't the case for mine - doesn't fit and I don't have a glass screen protector. However, I've found that it does fit with one of the inserts for the Z3 Compact - 35B, I think it's called - I'd always assumed this insert would be smaller so stupidly hadn't tried it, but perhaps the Z3 Compact is slightly fatter.
I'm not sure whether my case, or the dock is at fault here....

I know this isn't the answer to your question, exactly.. but... I went and looked at the dimensions of the Z3/Z2 and their respective docks and the extra thickness of the Z2 means its dock is just a tiny bit deeper... so I bought one and it accommodates a Z3 with a snap-on shell case *so* much better than the Z3 dock, even with the adapter. The TPU cases still don't fit without struggling to get it in and out though. The Z2 dock is also around half the price (or less).
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?
