[VIDEO REVIEW] Magtron Magnector X for XPERIA Z3 - Xperia Z3 Accessories

I didn't want to spend ~$40 on a dock, so this was the next best option. You can get the USB cable or USB Adapter

+Thanks for this.
Im just curious though, the z2 had a problem where the magnetic port was actually coming of the phone when stronger magnets were used. I'm hoping this issue was solved with the z3. If you ever run into issues please share!

Nothing currently, I've used it a few times already a didn't notice anything!

Just got my magnector x cable here from Amazon. Paid roughly 25 with shipping to Toronto. Can confirm it works great ringke fusion case and Case-mate barely there case with nillkin tempered glass applied. No issues at all as both cases have a cut out and/open space for the pogo charging.

Dear "-------------"
Unfortunately this case does not have a cut of the magnetic charging function. Currently Case-Mate have no plans to include this I’m afraid.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused by this.

Just sent a message to Case-mate to ask if the Tough Sony Xperia Z2 Case ( really nice case) included a cutout for the magnetic charging port and unbelievably it does NOT :crying:
If using the charging dock (which I would be) means that everytime you want to chage the Z2 you would have to remove the case
The Bugdroid Circuit Case for Sony Xperia Z2 DOES have the cutout for the magnetic charging port, lots of colours & excellent protection

Can't you take an exacto knife an cut a hole in the side for the magnetic port? I have done this for the IR blaster on the M7.

Yes that is an option, However I have now purchased the Bugdroid Circuit Case for Sony Xperia Z2 case from cruzerlite.com which has them in stock in 11 different colours at only $9.90 .
Cool design & really effective at protection, here's a video of Zedomax drop testing the same case but for the nexus 5,

Spigen has also started listing Z2 cases on its site. I plan on using the magnetic charging port most of the time as well, so kinda bugs me that it's covered w/ these cases.
Just arrived, now need the phone to go in it:

Magnetic closure, access to charging port if open....

Isn't there a nice slim black one that doesn't take over the actual shape of the phone? I hate those flip cover ones too.
I need a thin bumper,but i couldn't find yet in anywhere.

I opened a ticket to ask that specific question and Renee Michael (wife of Joel Michael - Owner & President) confrimed that it does have a cutout for the magnetic charger.
Upon her confirmation I have ordered one in orange, they have just finished production so should be with me within a couple of weeks, but that's becauce I am in the UK so takes a while for delivery.
Nice thanks man, i ordered a clear for my black z2.

Would it be safe to assume the Sline TPU Case from cruzerlite comes with the same cut out? Both cases look the same apart from a different design on the back, I prefer the Sline as it looks more elegant
Had a cruzerlite case on my S III and it was great!

I would think so , it would be stupid of cruzerlite not to do the same with the sline case.
However if you really want to make sure, best to open a ticket and mark it as urgent , they always reply to me within a day
This looks like a decent TPU case for only a few pounds.
Good to see that the magnetic charging port is exposed and that the case is slightly recessed to allow for the stereo speakers while still protecting the whole top and bottom of the phone.

A case with the charging dock connection cut out?

Just got my ultra today. I also got 2 cases delivered. Both of these cases neither one of them has a cutout for the charging dock ports. i have the dock and obviously want to use a case that i can use on the dock.
can anyone recommend a hard or tpu type case that will meet my needs? no idea why these cases wouldn't have the proper cutouts
I've just bought an Incipio Watson case which also doesn't have a cut-out for the magnetic connector.
I plan to spend two minutes this evening with a craft knife fixing the problem!

yeah, i was hoping it wouldn't come to that but i guess it may. it seems the only case i can find online with the proper holes ships from china.
can't get anything from amazon now with the proper holes shipped quickly, i bought what they had. sucks.

You could try the Nillkin fresh series. I didn't really like the plastic back but what i like is the screen cover and that it has a cutout for the magnetic charging port.
Unfortunately, just because a case has the cutout, doesn't mean it works. this is the one I've got and while it fits in the DK30 dock (with the bigger inlay), the problem is that the dock has the phone sitting at an angle and I can't get the magnet to "grip".
I tried my best modding the thing to fit, didn't work out. So good luck with yours, please report back if you've been lucky enough to find something that works.
I also use the magnetic charging port for charging. I found the following TPU case. I purchased one in smoke, and liked it so much I then purchased another one in black. Works great. Highly recommended!

Thanks for the info on the case, I have the same case that I bought more by luck than judgement when I bought my Z ultra.
Please could you let us know if the case works with:
A.) The official magnetic dock
B.) A magnetic charging cable
C.) Both of the above
Cheers,
Rob
Rob, this case works with the charging cable. I'm not sure if it works with the charging dock as I don't own one. I hope this is (somewhat) helpful.
Good luck,
Josh
Thanks Josh, I'm going to order a cable for my shiny new toy
Cheers,
Rob
After dropping my beautiful phone and getting the corner peeled I decided to look for this exact combo; a case with a charging dock connection cut out that works with a magnetic cable. As you guys already know the charging port flap becomes pretty flimsy after a while and I did not want to risk it breaking.
After much trial and error I found a combination that works.
This cable:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Magn...agnetic-USB-cable-charger-for/1708094470.html
Works perfectly with this case:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NILLKIN-Ult...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item1e945842a2
The Nillkin case itself is pretty good but I'm also pretty sure that this cable will work with other cases that have a similar cutout. The magnetic connection from the cable is not that strong but gets the job done.
Thanks for post a working combo

Case-M,ate Barely There and Nillkin ultra thin case review.

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
Ah that's good to know cheers!

I know right + it feels so nice in the hand
I actually prefer without the case! Phone feels amazing metal and glass but a case just takes away that feel
I'll just be careful
I like to feel the glass back as well and didn't want to put a case. I am using a bumper to cover the sides to offer some grip

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?

Transparent Cases Sony Xperia Z3

No doubt Xperia Z3 is a beautiful design and most of the owners are inclined to show its curves, shape and color (specially the copper version) to others. I have been looking for many transparent cases around from different brands. In order to check their reviews, I looked at the reviews for xperia z2 cases by all of them.
My findings: Cheaper options available like yousave are not as transparent as they claim. The gel and silicon based cases are not at all transparent. Most of the transparent cases are susceptible to scratches. I have read good reviews about the tough naked case by CaseMate but the case does not protect the front. Then there is Spigen's case (which is not yet available yet) which has good reviews but the side bumper is made of TPU which is not totally transparent and looks a cheap look. The best reviews I found was for Ringke Fusion case however one really bad thing i have read about it is that if the phone falls, the sides of the case scratch the color off the phone. The case claims to have shock absorption but I fail to understand how they claim it.
If anyone among you have used any case before, please guide and recommend and review.
I was looking for a transparent slim case like this, but I can't find any for the Z3 only the Z3c.

Mine was ordered on Oct. 2nd, the next day I received a Tracking Information, still today it just says Label created, when I finally could reach them they told me that they had production issues and was delayed, but the new shipping date was Oct. 24th then later another one called me (left a message earlier) and said that it was 27th, when I asked if it was the 24th or the 27th, he insisted that it was next monday, that of I wanted to keep the order they will offer me a 15% discount if not they could cancel it.
Due that I think that Ringke Fusion design is the best there is for our phones I kept it, I've been using the Fusion in my past 3 phones and are of great quality, honestly I don't know what happened to them this time as is the first time I have problems with them with an order or product.
i ordered this one, really like it...
http://shop.brando.com/Simplism-Ultra-Thin-Cover-Set-for-Sony-Xperia-Z3_p11839c1785d004.html
I ordered the Case-Mate Barely There case. It looks and feels OK, although protection is minimal as you'd expect. The cut out on the left is rather large as you can see, to allow the official dock to be used.
The case scratches rather easily. I marked the back by sliding my phone a few centimeters across the desk within an hour of using the case.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend it, due to how easily it scratches.
I'd be really interested to see if anyone handsome photos ofnthe Ringke Fusion case.

The review left by the user wasn't too positive. I ordered this today on Amazon and cancelled it. :/
I finally got mine about 10 days ago, I really love it and to me it looks great, they thought of everything, it even fits the Dual Sim D6633, the left side flap fits perfectly on it, plus they thought of all the Magnetic chargers and even adapters out there so I kind of think that this is the most universal cover for our z3.
BUT, I left them a negative feedback on eBay simply because that's no way of working on the Customer service side, no responses to emails for weeks and after offering me a 15% discount if I kept the order active, I'm still waiting for them to rely to the email I sent dating yes and asking about how was I suppose to receive the credit.
EDIT: SOLD!!
Just purchased the Ringke Fusion Case, what sold it for me mostly was the cool headphone jack protection.
My previous phones have ended up getting pretty corroded in there. And after taking shots with the xperia Z3 in my pool yesterday, the headphones attached macro application, was causing the phone to go nuts as soon as water entered the jack slot.
Another nice thing which annoyed me with a similar case, is that the cutout for the lens and flash was not very big, causing horrid shots when the flash was used. This case looks to have a good space around that flash to hopefully avoid this issue.
Will keep you posted after it arrives

I have this case and I hated it from the moment I got it. It came with a round sticker in the back. By simply trying to remove it, the case got very badly scratched. I was furious. I keep my cases 100% clean and this piece of garbage got damaged by nothing and within 2 minutes of getting it out of the packaging. I was going to return it immediately, but the other cases I bought were even worse in other aspects.
This case covers all the buttons, the MicroSD/SIM card slot, and it has a plug for the audio port. The magnetic and USB ports are not covered. I had to cut the audio plug off because it was putting too much pressure on my earphones.
The lips in front of the case give the phone some protection; they're thick in my opinion. I feel this case will protect the phone in case of a drop. It's thicker than I'd like, but it's definitely not a "thick" case. The fit is not tight at all, so I believe it won't damage or displace screen protectors. It's not going to fall off the phone, but it's not difficult to put it on at all.
This is my daily driver because I haven't been able to find anything less bad. I was looking for an ultra thin, transparent case, but this one had great reviews all over the Internet.

True! When i got mine, i wondered why it's not as clear as I'd expected it. So i tried wiping it with my handkerchief to see if it's just some dirt or leftover adhesive from the protective film. To my shock, what i was wiping was a scratch already, and i made it even worse by rubbing it. Good thing i have the white z3 compact act so it's not too noticeable. But really disappointed with it's quality. I waited two months for this cause i live in the Philippines. Sigh. Rinke's Fusion case isn't as nice as it advertises.
UPDATE: apologies, there was a sticker on the rear panel. That's why it wasn't as clear and it easily "scratched". my phone looks okay now. Haha
You should take a look at http://aliexpress.com - it might takes 3-4 weeks to ship, but you will find literally a ton of transparent cases from 2$ (incl. shipping).
Got mine also from there - took 3.5 weeks.

Cases that are wireless charging compatible

Merry Christmas everyone I got a Nexus 6 today as an early gift to celebrate Christmas and I love it. Are there any cases or charging pads that are powerful enough to be able to charge wirelessly with the case on?
What cases do you guys use? Also, I am a huge Buffalo Bills fan (they let me down on Sunday ) and are there any good custom cases that I can design the Bills logo on?
I have a unicorn beetle and it works on my moms ****ty verizon wireless charger. Not sure if its the chargers fault or the phones, but the charger sure looks cheap... It charges @ 500mA

Is your case a unicorn beetle pro or premium?

Premium I guess... Just the normal one.
mine chargers fine on my cheap amazon wireless charger through the caseology case. nfc payments read ok too, not great but they work eventually.
What kind of caseology case? With the bumper?
I use a Spigen Ultra Hybrid case on mine - does everything I need (bumper surround to protect the phone, clear see-through back, slightly proud at the front to protect the screen when the phone is face down). I also use an IntelliArmor tempered glass screen protector.
The Spigen works fine with all my Qi chargers, both desk and car (I have quite a few, as I was trying lots of them when I first got the phone).
(Once you use Qi charging you'll never want to go back. I was all ready to buy a 6P, but the lack of wireless charging was a deal breaker for me).

I'll second this. I'm also using the Spigen Ultra Hybrid with my Nexus 6, and I have absolutely no issues with all three of my Qi chargers. To be perfectly honest, I've found that I prefer the convenience of my Qi chargers over the speed of my quick chargers. Don't get me wrong, I still use my quick chargers when I need a speedy boost, but I love just being able to set my phone down and not having to pick up a cord and plug it into my phone.

Wirelessly charge mine every night with this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B017O..._rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2068141862&pf_rd_i=mobile
I, too, have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case.
I've used it so far with the CHOETECH Iron Qi stand, as well as the Spigen F300W Qi stand.
With both of them, Ampere reports that the phone is charging at 620 to 700ma.
