Thought I'd kick off a chat about the best cases available for the Z3. Either specific ones or more universal ones that are a good fit.
I am thinking about ordering another Fitbag sleeve from Germany which I've had for my last two phones and are excellent. I'm not a fan of clipped on cases as I like the look of the phone itself.
I was tempted by the WCR14 cover which enables wireless charging but they only seem to do it in black or white and since I am getting the copper Z3, I want one that matches really. Also It's about £80
What about screen protector back/front side...any ideas?
Im reciving mine copper also in five days and dunno should i take protectors,case or nothing.
Just ordered a Z3 and it will be my first Xperia. Does it comes /or is it avaliable to buy - a official smartcase cover?
Anyone using Z2 knows?
the phone does not come with any cover ,Also the official cases have not been released yet!
just to share:
i initially bought the casemate barely there (black) case for my Z3, however, after that decided to look out for another case as i felt while it was slim and light, it covered up the beautiful back of the phone, and was quite slippery to hold
ended up, got this to try instead, and so far much happier with it. its a slim, silicon transparent case for the Z3, and showcases most of the back, protect around all sides, and also has better grip!

I had the yesoo slim case on the z2 and it is not available for the z3 yet ,I liked it because I can use it with the magnetic dock and it didn't add bulk.

Where to find that case? I ebayed the words in the picture, to no avail..
Sent from my D6603
I am awaiting this case to be available:
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/style-cover-scr24/
Unfortunately, I don't see any dates when this should this available.
I ordered fitBAG sleeve for mine.
Anyone tried this bumper case on the z3? Thinking of getting it for my z3 d6603. The model on the ebay link says L55U. Not sure if it will fit but for 5 bucks i will give it a try

I received the Roxfit Made for Xperia Slimline Standing Book Case for Xperia Z3 - Carbon White today from amazon. As always excellent case does add a bit of bulk but protects very well
Why do every case manufacturer want to expose the Xperia doors? It'd be nice to find something less... swiss cheese
because nobody wants to take of the case to reach the USB port. Covering the SIM/SD Card area might be acceptable though.
They have covered the sim/sd card door this time on the roxfit slimline book case

Yeah, same here. I went for the red and black napa leather one. I have a black napa leather one for my Nexus 5. Cleans the screen just by sliding it in and out thanks to the microfibre interior, the leather is soft so it slides into a pocket easily but quality so it doesn't get damaged.
It's also really well made with solid stitching and a tight but not overly tight fit to the device. Can't rate them highly enough

Are there any case in the wild that offers better protection around the camera? Currently using the TPU case that came in the box and while I like it, i am not able to place the phone on a flat surface as I believe the edges of the camera is exposed and would like to keep that from scratches and damages. If anyone has or knows of a case which better protects the camera, I ll be interested.
Thanks in advance.
not yet, got the spigen Rugged Armor, the lens is too flush with the case. a drop on the back and the lens will crack
I was thinking the same thing. The lens sticks out at the back and the case that comes with the phone just sits flush with this. I'm concerned about just lying the phone on to the table with the lens rubbing on something and getting scratched
Interested to see what other people are going with. For now i'm using the in box clear case. Mobilefun seem to be the only place (UK) that have some options. Olixar brand have a few options but without reviews it's hard to tell how they'll fit. I know many case manufactures design cases before phones are released and working from a phone size spec doesn't always result in a good fitting case. Many of the case stock photo's i've seen have a mock P20 pro with a flat camera such as this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Flexible-A...8&qid=1523214240&sr=8-7&keywords=p20+pro+case As previous posts have mentioned ideally I want the case to protect the protruding camera while still be slim.
got the Olixar FlexiShield from amazom too https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07BL27WMJ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
sent it back, a bit better than the huawei case, there is a lip around the camera, but its very minimal, about half millimeter, so as long as you palce the phone on a flat surface you should be ok, but not if dropped and the overall protection is very bad too, screen is pretty much unprotected,
I've got this one arriving tomorrow. From the photos it looks like it should have good camera protection.
I found a few interesting cases on eBay. It'll be a week or two before they arrive. They're cheap and look like they offer better protection for the camera. I'll save spending big bucks for when something reliable shows up

I'd be a bit concerned with that one, the images are clearly mock-ups as they show all 3 cameras flush with the phone's rear which obviously isn't the case with this phone.
It arrived today and protection is good. Great fit, good grip, easy press buttons, good cut outs for speakers etc, nice lip to protect the screen and the rear lens is not quite flush so doesn't touch when placed back down on a table etc.
Bargain for the price and I'm very happy
I just got this case. I think AliExpress selling it for few USD... The camera lens is only slightly lower but will do for the time being while hunting for a better one like uag.

Yeh I randomly ordered it as I didn't realise there was going to be a case inside the box. However am glad I did as its pretty sturdy and will absorb some of the impact. Also like how the gaps are not too large against the ports.
Usually i bought Spigen thin fit for all my phones, but, until now, they don't have for p20 pro.
I´m looking for something light and thin.
I bought some tempered glass protectors for the three lenses on aliexpress but they haven't arrived yet. Will post an update after I try them.

Anccer Huawei P20 Pro Case [Serie Matte] Resilient Shock Absorption and Ultra Thin Design Cover (Smooth Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BPGHDJS?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
I'm currently using the case that came with the phone, but I'm after the smart view case (have it on my Mate 10 Pro) and also after a screen protector as unlike the Mate 10 Pro, you don't get one
I received my MOFI hard case and while it fits beautifully , it offers 0 protection for the dual cameras they are flush with the case. i also grabbed the MOFO full screen tempered glass and that also fit great but has left a "oil slick" look to the middle of the screen, i'm hoping this goes away after a few day. But if not i would shy away fro the MOFI stuff. ill post up if the screen spot goes away.
I'm looking for a slim case with holes for a lanyard/wrist cord.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Spigen has been my go to case maker for the last 5 years and once again I was not dissapointed with the quality. The case is a perfect fit for my Huawei P20 Pro and looks stylish. All buttons and ports are easily accessible (there are cutouts for cameras, speakers, USB C port, IR blaster and microphone). The case doesn't add too much bulk and the buttons are easy to press. There is a lip on the front surrounding the display that should protect it from drops face down.Would definitely recommend. The camera on the back doesn't stick out and the phone lies flat on the table.
For 9.99£ it's a bargain imo. Link to Amazon.
I've decided to live dangerously with this phone, I've ordered a KitBag from Amazon and will have no case or screen protector on it, unless a DECENT full coverage one comes along
I got the same thing but unbranded for £3.99 on ebay. literally exactly the same.

Thank you for posting this review. I was about to buy one too but was concerned If any of the camera bump stuck out or was nicely tucked in. Spigen rugged armour is the best phone case I've ever had. incredible shock protection yet doesn't scratch funny enough. They clean up great and look new throughout (or at least mine does).
Damn, just got this case. Really slick, I'm a little worried about the camera it's rather flush but better than nothing haha

I can vouch for the Slim Armor case. Just picked up a P20 Pro yesterday and Spigen was my go-to brand and it's really nice and not super bulky.
The rugged armor is good but the glass screen cover that Spiegen offers is crap! I've had it on the phone for 2 days, just took it out of my pocket and theres a crack right across the screen cover! This is with the Rugged Armor on the phone too, so theres a nice big lip above the screen cover to protect the edges. Nothing else in my pockets either, I'm very careful with my phones.
I have to disagree with the above ref the Spigen screen protector, I have had one on for 3 weeks and am really impressed with it. My phone has been with me everywhere in that time and has taken a couple of drops and knocks and the cover is holding up really well, also it looks and feels far better than the others I have tried. I'm using with the Slim Armor and together it's very well protected
I'd be surprised if the screen protector just magically broke on it's own. Probably just took some minor impact at a fateful angle. Maybe ask Spigen for a warranty and see what happens.
I returned my spiegen tough armour because of the lack of camera protection.
went with this instead... purchased 3 of them(different colors)
great case with camera protection
Dooqi Huawei P20/P20 Pro/P20 Lite Ring Stand Holder Shockproof Rugged Case Cover
I got the Spigen case before I picked up the P20 Pro. Never had an issue with it; I even stuck an iRing to the back of the case so that it gives me some added security if I somehow lose grip of the case.
It's true that the camera hump is close to the plastic spigen back. But it is enough to protect the camera. There is no doubt that it could be better. Spigen have recognised this and brought out a new case. See the spigen website
Anime had experience with Mark Armor Case from Spigen?

That is where I ordered mine. You can probably find it cheaper somewhere because that is expensive. I just wanted my pen, case and phone to come in one order. And not many places are selling cases yet, especially since I ordered it October 27th. I can't tell you anything personally yet because I had some issues with DHL and originally using a PO Box. They called me once, I gave them a physical address. The guy that was supposed to first deliver it didn't read the updated note and marked it not deliverable. I called, and the lady said she saw the note and said he must have read the original address and not checked the update. So after about two hours, I got a notification it was on hold. I called again and another guy told me she put the information in wrong, blah blah. So he told me it would be delivered Wednesday. I told them why does it have to be Wednesday now, why not Tuesday when I should have had it Monday. So he looked in his system and tried, and it is supposed to be delivered Tuesday with an URGENT tag. It's been a hassle, but should be worth it. Pictures of the case from online attached...
Here is a cheaper site...
https://www.giztop.com/accessories/official-protective-silicone-kickstand-full-case-for-huawei-mate-20-x.html
So I received my order. The case is very finger print resistant. It's made better than it looks in my opinion. The kickstand spring is snappier than you would think being so small. The kickstand snaps back into place with a magnet. The only part that worries me is the thin rubber piece between the charging port and screen. Hopefully that doesn't break too easily. The inside is like a velvet coating. The phone does come with a clear rubber case that feels tacky so it has good grip. It also comes with a plastic screen protector to start you off.
Edit... The phone also came with a screen protector already put on for me. Nice. They did a good job centering it too.

I haven't used the pen a lot yet. I'm still setting my phone up. I customize a lot and use widgets more than the average person. But from what I've used it seems okay. It has a different feel on the glass than Samsung's S-Pen. It's like smooth metal over glass is the best way to describe it. And it feels much better holding an actual pen over the toothpick sized S-Pen. The M-Pen has a charging port the same as the phone. It took me a day to notice it as I was messing with the phone more.

Hi for you guys who has bought the back case with kickstand. How was it? Worth it? It is true there is magnetic plate inside the cover so that it can stick to car magnetic mount?

I think the kickstand is solid, more than it looks. The stand part is snappy, and yes it has a little magnet in it. I noticed it when I set it on my wash machine. I literally just went right now and tested it to give you a good idea, and it's strong enough to hold the phone against the side of the wash machine.
This looks good with both functions of kickstand and magnet. Though it will be shipped from China.

I have this same case it feels pretty good plus to me the kickstand gives the phone screen a good view when it's kicked out.

Hey all if anyone looking for the new Pitaka MagEZ Case for S20 series it's finally out. Mine is on the way, Pitaka makes awesome products.
If you plan on ordering anything take a look and use the link below for extra 10% off.
http://pitaka.refr.cc/ivanmann
Got my shipping notification today as well. Ordered the MagEZ and dashboard mount wireless charger. Are you in the US? How long do you think it will take to deliver?
Shipping notice on DHL site updated w Tuesday (4/7) delivery now.
They're really quick with shipping. Have ordered several of their products. I'm in Canada, my case should come this week.
When did you order?
I ordered Monday night and the web site indicated that it would ship the next day.
Here it is Thursday afternoon and I have not received any notification. Clicking on the order link in the original email just shows the same thing: order received. Do they ship from China?
Thinking of cancelling TBH.
Yes they ship from China. You should get something soon. But reach out to their support team in case. They're very responsive and helpful usually.

I have a tracking number with an origin a state away (NJ), USPS first class package.
Should arrive in a few days.
I want to see what all the hype is about.
I got the magnetic one. I do have magnetic vent mounts from my excellent Evutec cases. I wish they made Samsung cases, by far they are my favorite.

I haven't noticed any issues so far!
I am waiting for carrier to pickup. Got tracking number ,but not picked up yet
So got my MagEZ and the wireless charger dash mount. Did not expect the metal plates to be so low on the phone body - I guess that's how they don't block the wireless charging coil.
I'm actually more disappointed in the lack of screen coverage. The sides of the phone are the most exposed in this case then any other case I've tried but worst is the lack of lip on the top of bottom. On every other case I've tried, there is at least some gap when I turn it face down on the table - with this case on, this is pretty much laying down flush on the screen itself.
Got my MagEZ today, finally nearly two weeks after ordering. USPS isn't the greatest for sure!
It's a good case. Definitely NOT for protection. I mean it will provide more protection than nothing. In hand it feels nice. The presentation is also good. As in you can tell it's not an Otterbox!
If one want's thinner they'd have to skin their phone. There's something about a naked phone, dunno, the edges feel weird like I'm going to drop it in an instant. It's weird because before the days of non removable batteries it actually didn't feel "wrong" rocking a naked phone...

So that is a latercase, no Pitaka with metal plates (and still wirelessly charging).
I like the latercases rim being bent upwards but they are missing the metal plates.
Also, I do not like the manufacturers actions around Pitaka and would therefore, personally, not buy from them. But that is my personal opinion only.

Agreed. Latercase straight up ripped Pitaka off and just because he has a bigger audience felt he could get away with it.
I got the Pitaka Mag case as well. This is my 3rd Pitaka case. Had this on my s8 and s10 before. This model seems to fit lower on the sides than previous models and the cutout for the charging port is wide open this year. Not sure why. This is still my favorite case because it's strong, super thin, and metal plates for car mount.

It's open at the bottom because to close it there would be a very thin strip that would be rather flimsy. Still far better than having the entire bottom open.
My only gripe about this case is how hard it is to take off! But once it's on, it's very solid and doesn't feel like it's peeling away or falling off when you grab the edges like most thin TPU style cases.
I have to say that it is perfect, IMO. I am using Pitaka since the S8 and they are always in a class of their own. I tried like 100 cases over the years and I have settled to this:
- Pitaka Mag Case for daily, normal use. This is the best for me.
- "Self made" Pitaka Pro case (more sturdy) using a dbrand grip case and placing the Pitaka metal plates in the right places under the back skin, salvaged from an old Pitaka case (destructive). This is the sturdy case, still offering magnetic attachment and wireless charging.

Good idea! I wish they would make the procase for Galaxy phones. I too use the MagEz case as my daily and now using the Ringke Fusion X as my rugged case when needed. Last year I tried those O shaped metal rings attached to the back of a Tech 21 but it still didn't quite line up with the car mount. I thought about getting the plates from a previous case but luckily been able to resell them for close to 50% value.
