The little flap that covers the USB port has a small rubber gasket that tends to fall off. Has anyone found a cheap source or easy way to repair this? I'm thinking liquid rubber via a syringe or similar. I bought several off Ebay but they were expensive and don't last more than 6 months. I'm on like my 4th one.
Depends on what you think cheap is.
Supposedly this is OEM: http://www.etradesupply.com/sony-xperia-z-ultra-xl39h-card-slot-cover-and-usb-cover.html
I have same problem, my first falloff and now i use ducktape coz i cant buy that in my country
I have replaced it with this
OEM Micro USB Charge Port Cover White For Sony Xperia Z Ultra C6833 C6843 XL39H...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/191429193701
You can try sticking it with glue if you catch it falling soon. The above flap is very easy to put back and NO DISASSEMBLY is needed.
joust got one i ordered from amazon, great quality!
I had the same issue while in Mexico, called the Sony service center and they mailed me out 2 of them for FREE. My suggestion is that you call your local Sony Mobile service center and see what they tell you. I wasn't asked for warranty or proof of purchase, NADA!
FoneJoy has the USB cover for the Ultra. I bought one myself from them when the rubber fell off mine. They ship worldwide (from the UK).

very useful thread, how complicated is the assembly once I have that original spare? couldn't find any pointers or how-to's. Thanks everyone.

Hello
I have purchased a broken XDA a while back to repair mine, although I haven't used any of it. I am told that it has a fully working screen and battery.
the case is A1+ as is the pen, cradle, and the ear phones.
the screen has no scratches on or any dents any where. the leather o2 case is non used and is purfect.
would like about £45 though just make an offer.
good condition though sold as non working as I cant be bothered to fault find.
thanks rich
also would have thought that if any one was to test and find the fault it could be repaired or stripped for spares...
any one interested dropping to £30
I'll take it for £30
sorry snapped up for £30 on ebay
thanks all the same

I kept on checking ebay and waited and waited for the original unbranded housing, as all it seemed to have was coloured ones. Eventually some came onto the market from china for around 50 pounds. It arrived after a week or two and looks to be good quality (ive yet to fit it though as im worried I may mess something up)
You can purchase it also from truesupplier but it is much more expensive. So I advise you keep checking ebay until they come up again. But a word of warning, they go quickly so make sure you snap it up fast
Housing for sale!
I got a replacement housing from ebay which arrived yesterday:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170549457486&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I had cracked the side of my main chassis, but have managed to fix it with epoxy so I have the replacement housing for sale. Unfortunately it's not OEM (original HTC) as the seller described, but it was a very good price (£27.52) and appears pretty good quality. The mesh section of the battery cover isn't the best fit and the mute button on the rear won't light up as it's solid black rubber. It includes the silver bezel, the battery cover and the main chassis.
If anyone wants it, I'll let it go for £25 inc postage...
Cheers
had a nice one originally with a magnetic front but needed a case with a battery. got one of those but it didn't have a magnetic front cover.
any links to one that are decent and don't cost an arm and a leg (so not an official sony one?)
anyone? i've checked amazon, ebay and mobile fun and no go
seems to be one or the other
I have ordered this one once:
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/power-cover-cp12/
Found it on MobileFun website and I placed an order for it.. Gave 200€ for it BUT and yes it is a big BUT I advise you to STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ANY MOBILE FUN PURCHASE.
I ordered that cover and they never sent it... and I asked for a refund a month after buying it... and ONLY got my refund half year after I asked for it and they never replied to my email or if they did, it was always a different person and they never knew anything about my purchase. Anyway try searching in Mugen batteries because they have a cover with a 4500mAh battery included.
Hope I helped
Upgrading to a Sony Xperia z3 I bought on swappa, listed as mint condition but doesn't have accessories. (Coming from htc sensation & Samsung galaxy II- current). Should I use Sony brand accessories for charging, headphones and the like? I also need something to protect it from myself (just call me butter fingers) and onry terrorist toddler. I don't know anything about Qi or the magnetic cable charging technology or what to look for and steer away from. I need a case and screen protector I'm assuming? All the help I can get I would appreciate. Also, do you think I can/should pay for the monthly protection TMo offers? I really need this phone to last awhile.

I found that glass on display is quite enough, so dont use any screen protector. For charging I use the standard Sony charger and also Sony WCR14 case that have Qi wireless charging. Protects phone and dont have to mesd with cable and always open USB flap. As for headphones I found the included ones quite good and for outside I have wireless bluetooth ones with Bluetooth 4.0 from Philips. Super useful for travel is Xiaomi battery pack with 16000 mAh capacity, supports chargin at 2A.

Ah I looked up the Qi case, it's a bit out of my piece range at the time being.
So my concern is, if I drop it without a screen protector / case, then is Sony's glass going to hold up?

NO WAY... The glass is super against scratches and greasy fingers (just use glass cleaner to wipe) but should you drop your phone its likely it will break. Seen some half dead Xperias already. The back is also glassy.
The protection case, at best with rigid frame, is absolute must.

I have a black leather flip style case for my Z3. My gf bought it from a local market stall a while back, and its fantastic. It also has slots on the inside of the front cover for credit cards etc.
A little late but
the orange store south africa sells the wireless charging kit for under 300rand which translates to $20. So far while it is a little awkward to use the phone at times i love it. At night I charge with the case open 44degrees c yesterday. I would recommend it!
Got me a set of Anker USB cables, a Copter Exoglass screen protector (tempered glass) and Rearth Ringke Fusion case. Thinking of getting something to charge magnetically. The rest I have is wonderful
Hey guys,
I recently broke my Z2's flap which is covering the SIM card and USB hole.
I was wondering if there's any differences between the flaps if I order from ebay?
I looked up the search queries with "xperia z2 port cover original" the cheapest was around 6$. Is this the sure thing to get?
I want it to seem as original as possible..
Also I broke my tempered glass + the shell case, need to order those too xD But I can manage finding those.
Looking for replies :good:
Well my sim card flap broke
I ordered one from aliexpress and it seems to be perfect
The replacement flap is composed of slightly more plastic but you wouldn't notice this difference even if you held them both in your hands (without close inspection). EBay replacement will be fine. Don't pay extra for the 'genuine' version that's higher priced than the rest because it'll be the same thing.
Thanks guys. Ordered the cheapest one from ebay.. We'll see how well that works out.
