Hi,
I am from India, using an Z Ultra. I was looking for a bumper case for it and stumbled upon a cool one in eBay:
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Ultra-Thin-A...-Case-Sony-Xperia-Z-Ultra-Black-/281162345171
But it is so expensive. Rs 2636.
If anyone have stumbled upon a cool bumper for the Z Ultra, which is a bit cheap, please post:angel:
Does the silence mean that nobody knows about a cheaper option in India?

I've been searching for a long time.... Other than the one which you posted and another (nearly same price), I haven't found any bumpers. Aluminum ones, that is.

eBay Global Easy Buy
I picked up a black aluminium one of ebay GEB. Turned out slightly cheap. And the phone looks amazing with it. http://geb.ebay.in/g/ImportHubSearc...tra&catId=&qbtn=Search&_trksid=p2052119.l1440
Most of cheap aluminum bumper cases are un-reliable due to no protection in between the case and the phone. It gives u more scratch to the phone if the bumper is not tight enough. Plz ask seller about it.

Realize this is an older post, but was wondering if the bumper degraded your cell or gps signals? I have been thinking of getting one but read where some people have issues with them.
thanks

Hey, sorry for the delay in replying. Even though the bumper looks very cool, I have realized (the hard way, though) that you will not be seen using it all the time. First of all, the added bulk, even though very little, does not justify the usage
Secondly, the bumper may not be so comfortable to hold, may be cos of the edges
Thirdly, it does not play well with the Xperia Z Ultra design language. This is not as beautiful as a Nexus 4 bumper, i would say
I AM NOT USING THE BUMPER CASE anymore :cyclops:

Not sure about Signal Strength, as i didnt use it much.
I am using a transparent case now, so that my Xperia Z Ultra design shines through

It sounds like we all want the same thing... To keep the beautiful design visible and be minimalistic. Can you post where you got the clear case you ended up using and your thoughts on it? I would really be appreciative.

It was a hard glass case. IMAK Case. It scratched my device on the sides. I took it and threw it. Now no case
Silicon cases might be the best option
oh man I'm sorry to hear that. That's kind of a nightmare and it sounds like we need to keep away from bumper cases and this all glass case.
Just thinking that the perfect phone would be the G2 with the matte finish. The front screen is already perfect but add the matte finish with the awesome back placement of the power button and volume keys and it would be amazing. I love my G2 but the back cover is a horrendous plastic finger print magnet. I cant imagine how many units LG would have sold if the the back cover was Matte finish like the Moto X or Nexus 5? Just dreaming...
Just purchase another back cover off eBay or so and sandpaper it (or use steel wool grade 0000). Check out the accessories forum, there's a thread there . Imo the matte finish is far more elegant.

Sure.. My point was they'd sell a random number, regardless of the N5's back.
I didn't even look at the back of the G2 when buying it, personally, as I always use a low profile TPU type case.

Of course I knew they were on the back, but after playing with Knock-On in the store I figured I could live it. Otherwise, it'd have been a no-sale.
I didn't pay attention to the back much otherwise, as it'd always be covered.
Who cares about the back most use a case if they're smart lol.

I like the look of it as it is, but a back with more grip would be more comfortable, at least in summer

well then i think the people who care don't then even look for N5, Moto X, or G2 altogether. They buy iPhone 5S champagne or even Vertus. They're so stupid if they care of matte back covers
I believe most people were turned off by the rear button placement...not the glossy shiny back.

Few people are put off by so called 'bloat'. Very few really know what an unbloated phone looks like for 2 reasons. First the Nexus' sells in tiny numbers, and second the Nexus isnt bloat free anyway! The G2 is no more burdened with bloat than any other phone.
I dont have a problem with the G2s back. Sure its plastic, but its smart. The N5 might be soft touch, but it looks and feels hollow and cheap.

Thank you, I was about to say just this. The XDA echo chamber continues to rumble with the expectation that every user is a power user and that every customer roots their phone.
Plus, even with the stock ROM, the phone is a beast, I saw no lags in the 24h I used it stock.
I have a matte protector on the back of mine from BestSkinsEver. Problem solved.

I've had this case on my GNex, my G2, and now my G3. Always great quality and feel for the case. I usually get black but this time I got red. Normally I give this case a perfect score but I'm not liking the company logo in the center of the Android this time. I have this case and the Spigen slim armor and recommend both. This TPU case feels thinner obviously.
I feel the same way about the logo. I hope this phone becomes popular enough for them to male a few different styles. Cruzerlite has always been top notch in quality and customer service for me.

I really like these cases (I've had one on my Nexus 7 2013 for almost a year now), however, I've noticed as you mentioned the TPU is very thin. The case is great, but it has become stretched out in one corner over time and now it just looks a little weird, even though its not extremely noticeable unless you are holding the device. Are any of these issues still present in the newer ones? I was thinking about picking one up for my G3, but I don't want to to get stretched out and look bad or cause damage to the phone if it comes off during a drop.
I've never had that problem with any of the cases I've owned. Might be a tablet case problem. These cases have been solid for me.

I was considering this since the reviews say that it's still pretty slim while also providing decent protection. My question, though, is what is the texture of the case? Does it feel grippy?
I want a case that has some kind of traction in my hands so that it feels secure without me having to always feel like I should have an iron grip on it.
I have a Ghostek hard case which does offer a bit more trip than the stock back of the phone, but honestly not by much. I want something that will stay in my hands.

It has a smooth feel but not too slick. It doesn't feel sticky link the cases they had at the Verizon store. I wouldn't call the best grip but it's worked for me so far. My old Cruzerlite case on my GNex had ridges on the side that gave a better grip. The G3 model does not.
For $10 on Amazon, I think it's worth a go if to aren't looking for something that feels tacky.
It's a soft rubber feel to it. Not slippery. Best way to describe it is a "matte" feel to it. I like it.

If I remember correctly it was the same material they used on the LG Dare for the back. Yes very similar to that rubberized plastic.

I have to agree about the company logo in the middle of the Android mascot. I used this case on the Nexus 5 and now on the G3 and I love it. Great drop protection and a nice non-slip rubbery feel

I ordered one of these today also, I had one on my s3 and I liked that it had ridges on the sides to give u better grip. Hopefully this will work for me, I like that it is clear and will show off the design of this phone. This is the first phone I've ever owned that I feel like I can use it without a case because of the feel of it. Better b safe then sorry though.

No I have a Spigen tempered glass one so its slightly thicker than a normal one. Its .23mm thick so I wasn't sure if it would distort the case or not.

I don't like how big the cut out is for the bottom microphone. It seems like there is a lack of precision when they designed it. I've had their cases before and they are nice, so hopefully more styles will be released.
Are these still coming soon? I can't even find them on their website anymore.

Pics Just for those who might be on the fence which colour to go for.

I prefer frost colour personally but that maybe due to having HTC for last few years just needed different colour.

Not sure that is true, most of the polls on here had people going for the Frost least of the three I think...but the fact that 32GB was not available in Frost may also be factor in that.
I believe no one from get huawei has even gotten their frost shipped yet.
How do they feel in the hand? Any difference from each other? Reason why I'm asking is because of the extra coat with the frost potentially giving off a less premium metal feel.
For instance, Htc one m9 gunmetal as opposed to the silver model gives a different feel to the device due to the coating process on the gun metal. Silver feels much more premium.

I asked this in another forum, see below:
How is frost look & feel? in one of the review on youtube said it's said it feels plasticky..I am waiting for my 128gb frost..
Well that's kind of silly because all three colors are made of the same material. If you were blindfolded you wouldn't be able to tell the different colored phones apart from one another. It feels the same as the back of my M7 except a bit smoother.
As far as how it looks, I like it a lot. It's not WHITE white like a lot of white plastic phones are because it's metal, so it kind of looks kind of like they took the aluminum-colored one and bleached it so its very nearly white, but still retains the metallic look and feel.
Thanks, how do you feel about the black camera hump, also does the frost color makes the phone more slippery?
The hump physically protrudes way less than early pictures would have us believe, but with the smorgasbord of reviews and videos that are out now you can see how big the hump actually is. I like the black, it gives a nice contrast with the frost back.
I only have the frost, so I can't compare slippery-ness with the other 6P colors, but I can't see how the color would make a big difference here. That said, it's a metal phone, it is slippery. When I first got my M7 which was the first metal phone I owned, I was amazed at how slippery it was. If this is your first metal phone, you'll definitely notice it, if you've owned one(s) in the past, then you should know what to expect.
