Anyone have any experience with a case from Ventev? I've never even heard of them, but looking at their site it seems they make a lot of products.
Anyways I found this http://www.tessco.com/products/displayProductInfo.do?sku=532148&eventPage=1.
Honestly never heard of them myself. The price looks like it may be on the high end for what it seems to be, but if it's good quality then it'd be worth it. If you get one, post back and let us know how it is. I have a cheap Ebay TPU case on the way for now but I'm keeping my eye out for a good one.
I havnt heard of that case series, im waiting for the Commuter Case by Otterbox.. Still hasnt been released.. :/

Looks just like this one ?

Have you received your TPU case? I ordered one yesterday but I got an email today from the vendor saying that they just found out they wouldn't fit AT&T phones and they refunded me. Now I'm not seeing any TPU ones on ebay.

I ordered mine off eBay 2 days ago and got the same message, he also gave me a full refund. Time to start saving pennies for an otterbox!

Thanks, I saw that. I've had 2 piece cases on my other phones in the past (incipio, body glove) and I actually prefer the cheap TPU ones best. The cheap TPU ebay/amazon ones (like this: http://tinyurl.com/ct4ktzd) are really low profile, slide in and out of the pocket easily, are flexible yet firm enough to absorb shock from reasonably high drops and only cost like $3. Hopefully someone comes out with one for the OG soon. I might buy one of those ones you linked to in the meantime.

I will be gone all week for work, so you will probably have yours first. Will look for your post.
Ventev Case
The case arrived and fits the AT&T LG Optimus G E970.
The case consists of 2 parts, a TPU case and a Polycarbonate back cover. The Polycarbonate back cover can be taken off and you can then just use the TPU case.
All buttons remain functional with the case even though the case covers them, and all of the ports and the camera remain functional and accessible.
I have no problem slipping in or taking the phone out of my pocket with the case on.
The case does add significant thickness and heft to the phone, but the case seems solid.
I should mention that I ordered the case from Amzer.com, but it looks identical, and has Ventev printed on the back Polycarbonate cover.

Can you please take some pictures when you have some free time? The only picture online is the one just showing the back.
What about power button notification light?

The notification light gets covered up unfortunately.
Here's some crappy pictures. Only complaint is the tpu rubber part fits really tight. It was hard to get in and lifted up the corner of the screen protected. But took it straight from mailbox and put on phone, so maybe I should have let it warm up.
Thanks for the pictures, folks. I'll probably go ahead and get the Ventev case for now until Otterbox comes out If it does, of course).
So, from what I see, the Amzer and Ventev cases are identical, except for the logo on the back?
Well I guess I should have expected it, but I was asked three times today if my XZU was the new iPhone. I kinda laughed it off and showed off the screen size.
If anyone is looking to "impersonate" an iPhone apparently this is how you do it
The metal bumper is off eBay (search .7 mm metal bumper) if anyone is interested. It is very thin and probably will provide minimal impact resistance, but should provide good abrasion protection. It is a slippery but holding the phone is not a problem as you grip on the corners. However if you put the phone flat on any incline surface it can slide rather easily. All holes seem to be cut properly and I haven't had any problems with any micro USB cables. Can't comment on the Mag Dock as I don't have one.
Your average uninformed user will pretty much mistake ANY gadget for a iphone or ipad. That's marketing for ya! And yeah, it's moderately annoying, but I've gotten used to it over the years.
They must be shocked to learn that there are actually phones existing out there other than iPhones.
I remember when i got the first Galaxy Note.
- "Is that an iPad Mini?!" - NO.
- "Woah dude, is that an iPad?" - NO!
- "That's a tablet right?" - Nope.
Luckily after a couple of months and people started to buy the S3 and other Samsung devices, reactions were "a lot" better. They did actually "know" what it was (almost) "Is that a Galaxy phone?" - Yes. (Success!)
Haven't really had any reactions from other people yet with the Ultra. They just stare at it, like A LOT (thinking "what the **** is that??") and then they walk away

I think they have some similar to them on amazon.
When I go to college I have all my class mates ask whether it is a tablet. And so many of them like to compare the size of it to other things like McDonald's straws, faces and feet

I was in Bestbuy yesterday asking about windscreen mounts and there were quite a few bestbuy staffers around the mobile phone section. None had seen an XZU before and were blown away by its size. It was fun to actually impress a bunch of geeky people who are quite casual about technology which they sell all day.

Doesn't that silly "LOVE MEI" logo annoy you?
Immensely... I took a sharpie to the logo on my black bumper. But the champagne one is annoying. Their laser etched too...
Hi OP is that a grey or white carbon fiber wrap ? I'd love to get one for my ZU as well A link to where you bought it would be great :good: Cheers
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.
This thread is for Nexus 6 Cases/Covers/Accessories available in UK.
To start off this is what I have decided so far...
- [Ordered] http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00OJE2MWW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
These as they have pull tab as compared to

These look good too..

- http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A26JU9GFBVWLS3
Also will be nice if someone can please chip in with advise on Skinomi cases,
specifically I want to know
- the durability ,over a longer period of time, e.g. 1-2 years
- also their response phone (over)heat, i.e. if they shrink
- how well the adhesive holds up over time
- and if they change colour over time or under any other circumstances
Cheers,
MM
Just wanted to warn people from buying these..
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00...h_aui_detailpage_o00_s00&tag=xdadevelopers-21
Looked good but is way too big. The phone just moves around in the case , very loose.
I will wait till I can get another pouch case with pull-tab.
I've currently got the Diztronic one. Loving it!
Spigen Ultra Hybrid Series - Crystal Clear
I bought the Spigen crystal clear case (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A26JU9GFBVWLS3) and I'm very happy with it. I wanted one that was clear to show of the whiteness of the back of the phone (why buy the white version and then cover it up with a black case?!!!)
I feel it would give some good protection in a fall. Only slight downside are the buttons for power and volumes are air cushioned and thus I feel you need to put too much effor too press them but despite this I would recommend the case.
spigen ultra hybrid vs ringke fusion
ive got both the hybrid and the fusion, ive got a comparison and pictures in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57372190&postcount=38
i like the fusion much more, the buttons and the grip seem better plus you get a free screen protector for the same price as the spigen ultra hybrid

Great thanks ... off to buy one
My experience with Skinomi is not good either.
I got the case and applied all the pieces.
The material is good but the cutouts are not accurate.The pieces don't properly cover the back and front sides.
I would not buy this again.
I was really hoping for this to be good, really liked the idea
On a positive note the Ringke case I ordered is quite good.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JAKDCKG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
Gives good protection and does not add much bulk.
Also personally I think it improves the phones(black) look (never bought this phone for its look though )
The Nakedcase is pretty sweet.

I bought one of these and while it looks nice I've encountered severe battery drain when using it. After hardly using my phone today the battery had dropped to 38% and when looking at the useage saw 5+ hours of screen on time. Looking at the phone in the closed case the screen turns on, then goes off when it times out, then turns back on again, continually cycling though an on and off screen.

I was just about to order a Ghostek Slim Armor for my G3 (yes it rips off the Spigen LG G2 styling Slim Armor casing with the squared off design; the Spigen Slim Armor for the G3 is more rounded all around) when I happened to notice this that just popped up on Amazon in my search results but didn't a few days ago:
http://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Ghostek-Atomic-Attached-Protector/dp/B00TEFF3YA
Never heard of it till just a few minutes ago and considering the "introductory" price of $24.95 I'm damned seriously considering pressing that pre-order but right at this moment.
It looks fantastic, has an IP68 rating apparently but I can't find any actual info about it. There website needs a lot of work apparently as it's borked in ways I can hardly believe and was directed away to their Facebook page (I mean, really?).
Doesn't appear to be nearly as big and bulky as an Otterbox Defender would be, probably not as much as a Commuter either but they don't make a Commuter for the G3, they have something new called "Symmetry."
Regardless, I really am just so close to buying this case, it seems like a big winner to me - especially for $25 - but I think I'll wait a few days and try and get more info. Hopefully that pricing will remain in effect for a bit...
Anyone else have any opinions on this particular case, I'm curious if others would consider it worthy of protecting their G3 based on what it appears to be offering, and again that price is crazy if the retail will be $80 normally when it's officially released next week.
What is this hole for?

Maybe a port for the microphone? It doesn't have one on the bottom.
Got a white one on order. The reviews seem like a mixed bag of bad and good for other phone models.

Looks like a dust catcher.
I'll order one when the item is on Prime fullfilled by Amazon. Easy return in the event I don't like it.

so did anyone buy this?
Hey i have bought this case.its a great case and is really waterproof i hav tested it.bt you have to be careful when u put the case as the slightest of loose thing will make water go inside it bt otherwise if u put ut carefully its a great case bt wen u put it in its a little bit hard to use for me.but overall its water proof and a great case for lg g3.if u want to make ur lg g3 waterproof i.e.
I just got my case and when I make phone calls the screen goes black and I can't get it to come back in till I take the case off. I went into the settings and made all the settings to stay on all the time even during a call works great out of the case the minute its back in the case and I make a call it goes black again and I can't get the screen to come back in not even with the home button. Any suggestions?
Too Numb
2 BIG for a case!Maybe U only need a waterproof plastic bag bag.
I have this case, my very first case for my G3. I love it. I feel safe and secure, a bit big in your pants pocket but that's okay. Highly recommend it.
Hi. Do you think I could use this case for snorkeling (max 2 meters depth)?. Thanks.

I seriously doubt it. There seems to be no protection on the camera. I would not trust this as water proof. Splash proof maybe.
