If you have or found a good case, post it here.
I bought the official case from TMO. It's a little pricey but provides excellent protection. As a matter of fact, the faucet in my bathroom leaks and I left my tablet on the counter one night. I woke the next morning and my tablet was sitting in a puddle of water that extended halfway up the case. Took the case off, wiped everything down, and plugged it back in. Worked fine. Even the liquid indicator was still white.

Ditto on the TMO case.. seems $20 too high, but honestly a pretty good hunk of hardware for your tablet. I will have one spare once I have my tablet mounted into my car dash..

Another vote for the TMo case and you are right about the price but you can buy it off Ebay for about $20 less unless you are like me and want it right now.

Would like to know how it looks, whats the price and where to get it.. thanks

The brand is Incipio and I purchased mine from a TMo store for like $50. I had seen the same one on Ebay for half the price but I didn't want to wait. I checked Ebay and the case is no longer listed. I also looked on the Incipio web site and they don't even list it. I don't have a picture but the case is black and the tablet kind of snaps down into the bottom part of the case. You can open the case(it is held closed with an elastic strap) and you have three positions that the tablet can be set into. They range from a fairly good tilt to darn near upright. I have found the case to be quite nice and it really doesn't add much to the overall size. Hope this helps.

Pictures attached.
On the second picture, you can see bubbles in the microfiber. That's the glue separating because I got it wet.
I bought on ebay a smart cover like this from the auction 170821966479. It's thin, good protection and a good stand. I am very happy with it.
The TMO case is so popular in the US, but outside there are two options: universal 7 inch case or a not so bad case designed for the media pad. Search for t-mobile springboard case on ebay.
I bought a cheap-o case off eBay for $16. Listing was questionable as the sellers account was terminated the day after I bought it. I still got the case this morning after 3 weeks though. 2 problems with it. It's a little too thing for the springboard, so the outside edge around the display doesn't quit fold over all the way and sticks up. Secondly, the hole for the front facing camera is slightly off and the camera just barely peeks out from it.
Might not stick with the case though. Without the case I've always been able to stick it in my back pocket (slacks or jeans) and walk around with it to a few places, lunch breaks, dog walks, etc. With the case its a no go.

Yes, I have also found this one on eBay. I have ordered it (the same colour like lilaliend). But it never arrived (I got my money back). Fortunatelly!!
After the first attempt with eBay, I have decided to invest a bit more money and ordered a leather case from PDair:
qqq.pdair.com/index.php/ebook-reader-tablet/huawei/huawei-mediapad/leather-case-for-huawei-mediapad-book-type-black.htmk
(in the URL please replace qqq with www and htmk with html)
You can buy it directly from PDair for $80. This is quite a lot of money. But PDair's reseller for Middle East sells the same case ("book type") for $60:
tbeyond.com/leather-case-for-huawei-mediapad-book-type-black-p-14363.htmk
(in the URL please replace htmk with html)
Free Worldwide Shipping. Even though the reseller is based in United Arab Emirates, the case came from Hong Kong. Delivery to Germany was without any problems.
My experience with the case from PDair: The case is simply excellent. I highly recommend it. It is worth the money:
PROS:
- durable black leather
- magnets! It closes with magnets
- the tablet fits nicely into the case (in contrast to the cheap case from eBay - see post from lilaliend)
- all holes (front and rear cameras, USB and HDMI ports, charger) are precisely where they should be
CONS:
- the case is rather thick. They use multiple layers of leather (you can see it on the pictures on the PDair website). So the tablet is really well protected. But with the case you can not put the tablet into your back pocket...
TMobile Incipio case for Springboard has dropped in price
If you were to shop for it now on the TMobile site the Incipio case is now $29. That's about $15 to maybe $20 cheaper than when I bought it earlier in the year. ARGH!
I do love my case though. The only thing that's bad is when you are in portrait mode and the front cover doesn't sit nicely back when holding it in that position.

I wanted a case that had a zippered closure, for added protection. I had this case from when I had purchased the Kindle Fire. But I decided to see if it would fit the Springpad. It does, with a bit of sanding or cutting.
This is an option if you are willing to sand down or cut two nibs from the top two clips. Each clip has two nibs, the one you want to sand down or cut is the one on the right for each clip. I have attached some pictures so you can see the zippered case and the two clips above, and a close up of the cut. Mine is a bit sloppy, but hey, I'm not complaining. See pictures.

Great... I am happy with my incipio but I got this off ebay because it would be nice to prop it in portrait mode. I guess I could report how well it does when it comes.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brown-Magic...7-SLIM-MediaPad-SPRINGBOARD?item=270998785548
this is my combo "temporary" case and universal stand. :laugh:
still looking for a folio-type case and I just got news that the local distributor here already has stocks and giving it for free for new buyers of MediaPad. :silly:
I wanted a case that protects the corners, could prop up the MediaPad in landscape and (!) did not cover the front (like some cases that cover the bezel around the display).
Turns out that this case for the Lenovo Ideapad A1 fits just fine. Only the hole for the camera is in the wrong place, but I don't use the Pad's camera anyway. Nice sleek design. Reeks of plastic/glue the first few days, but the smell wears off quickly and then you have a smart-looking case for your MediaPad.
Apparently this case comes with different names around the globe. Have a look at the pictures and see what's available in your country.
Hi
I'm using the EasyAcc Case for nearly a year now.
It fits great, exept the hole for the frontcamera could be a milimeter bigger.
I do not know, in it is available outside Germany.

Hello Everyone,
I bought Sony Xperia Tablet Z few months ago. I was using official sony cover which came with the tablet. After 3 months of usage I found out that the screen has scratches where it is always protected by the cover itself. Therefore I gave it to sony and they replaced it with a new tablet. However, I cannot use the cover now and therefore I need a new one.
I am looking for a flip cover where I can charge my tablet without opening the cover.
Please suggest one. I am located in India.
I have used MoKo(TM) Slim Cover Case for Sony Xperia Tablet Z 10.1 inch. You can buy it in Amazon. I live in Norway and Amazon doas not post it to Europe, so ordered it from Aliexpress fro China.
BTW. After I received Moko Slim Cover, I have modified my original Sony cover the same way by cutting small window 50x22 mm, 25 mm fom the edge.
I bought a poetic slim case from Amazon. Works great! there is an opening in the cover to plug the cable in while the cover is closed.

Poetic slim will damage LCD, I stopped using it and had to return my previous xperia tablet z because of pixel damage. The tablet is so flexible that removing device from the case puts a lot, too much pressure on the LCD.
I then bought the sony case and I prefer it. Haven't had any scratches from using it, its smooth on the inside. I kept the built factory applied screen protector on the tablet

Thanks for your input. It seems that it's better not to use any case then.
You guys have links for these cases that you recommend?

Sony case is good. Only applies presurre from the left and right side of the screen landscape. You can remove tablet just by sliding it in and out (as opposed to having to bend your tablet, lol) it also provides a bevel for shock protection and can be used with the charging cradle.
The poetic slim feels nicer and i would recommend this case if you plan on never removing your tablet againand never dropping your tablet or if you do not plan on using the charging cradle. I use the cradle because I think overtime waterproof feature will be better maintained and I have read reports of the USB connector breaking off. Want to save that connector for delicate flashing use only
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!

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

Looks better than the $2 ones. How much bend does this have? How soft vs rigid?
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.

This case looked to be the best. It got really great reviews for the iphone 6+, hopefully this one is built as good. I ordered it from eBay, I hope it has a descent opening to use a magnetic charger. It should be in Thursday, to bad I don't have my phone yet to try it on.

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.
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.

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.
