I agree, it looks kind of cheap looking for $13 price tag. I hope Google gets off its ass and start making these Bumpers available. They also need to start contacting companies to get some cases on the market. If they are going to keep running out of Bumpers and we have very limited options, they BETTER expect lots of cracked Nexus 4's coming back to their replacement warehouse. There is no reason for a company like this to have such a poor E-Commerce practice. It's absolutely ridiculous.

+$3.98 shipping for me... booooooo
I haven't gotten the clear case I ordered yet from them, but I can vouch for their customer service.
I preordered the clear case and received a package from them late last week. It had an S case in it.
The clear cases have taken a little longer to manufacture, so they sent me a free S case to make sure my phone is protected until the clear case is in stock.
Note: I ordered the clear case, not the smoked clear. Looks like they took the clear option off of Amazon temporarily.
Yea I ordered it Friday I think its shipping today I'll post some pics when I get it ...didn't notice the back saying Kay's case till after Lol :/

I have their S- line type case on my nexus 4 right now, I know it isn't the same case, but very similar. TBO it looks like the same one that is selling on Ebay from China for less.
I considered buying one off Ebay, but glad I didn't because they sent me a black case when I ordered a clear one. I messaged them and they are sending me the clear one I ordered free of charge. I know it is rare to have an issue like I did, but it is nice to know they have good customer
service.
Here's a link to the one I ordered:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A72UR7M/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
what a crock.
i received my kay case:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009ZNBI2M/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00
and it was identical to iblason:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009Y0ZZD4/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00
I mean identical in every way. Even the insert they gave. Both are unbranded black cases.
Do not buy this case thinking it might be an alternative to the iblason.
IDENTICAL
I am looking for a clear shield just for the back. Can anyone suggest anything?

i bought one of these in black. not bad. i dont really like the way the official bumper fits on the phone so this will do until a nicer tpu one comes out.
Got mine yesterday. I like it but it peels up the corners of my Xtremeguard protector. I'm gonna try a thinner protector with it.
I've find this cases compatible with the Docking Station: :good:

it does not look like it has the cut out for the pogo pins ,so that would be useless
I have the dock (was in the box in Japan) and have been looking around for a case compatible with it.
The truth is that even 0.35mm thick cases are not compatible.
I am of course talking about cases that covers the sides and back of the phone.
Cases of this thickness have been tested and reported as non-compatible by Japanese users. They still require to push very hard on the phone to fit into the dock and it is hard to take it out after that.
I've also got a brodit car holder that uses the pogo pins.
So for me its even worse, not only does the case have to fit with the dock, but also the car holder.
And all these superthin cases are not cheap, don't want to drop 30 bucks USD on an experiment.
Case compatible dock
I just came across a dock on Ebay UK that has a removable section to allow the extra width needed for case's.
Ive ordered it so will report back when it arrives, from Hong Kong so may not be quick.
Excellent idea tho, something Sony should pick-up on maybe.

Looks awesome, but do the ...prongs reach the phone thru the case? All my googling found nothing on this particular on this dock. Can't wait for the link, as well.

So I'm sure some of us have seen the aluminum cases/bumpers for the Z. Well, this is the first time I've seen one with the docking port (or whatever) exposed.

Except that I don't want gold, and rather'd have the bumper, not the case, this looks promising.

Thats weird...the other colors have theirs blocked off. Even though it has the holes in them, question is will it still fit the dock?

Exactly. I think I'll see if I can contact them to find if they have others like the gold one (maybe w/o the back). And, if anything, the aluminum bumper/case might fit into the expandable dock, mentioned on here, earlier.
Expandable dock won't be shipped to the Netherlands

Dock arrived this morning, and looks pretty impressive.
Dimesionally, it is exactly the same as the DK26 dock from Sony, the removable sleeve (to allow extra thickness for cases) is approx 1mm+ thick and very nicely
built into the unit - and easy to remove.
The charging pins are more than long enough to cope with a case as they are spring loaded.
Also, this dock also allows for charging from my laptop (DK26 does not work from a USB) which is handy.
TBH for the price difference - 6.99 compared with 25.00 for the DK26, and the abilty to charge from pc, and use with a case ......its a no brainer really.
Only critisism i can make really, is the springy prongs (Not the charger ones) that hold the phone are a little stiff, which may case problems with gel cases etc. that will try to drag rather than push. Although these will probably free up more with use.
overall, for seven quid, you cant go wrong.
I also own the DK26 and thouroughly wish id of seen this first.
EDIT:
Just took it apart and pulled out the springs, now its smooth as. A highly recommended mod.
Phone now just drops into place nicely, regardless of case.

The bumper cases still wont fit, it has to be a thin profile case.
Removing the insert only gives you just over 1.5mm of clearance, so cases still need to be thin as can be. But there are quite a few out there with the slot for dock pins.

Hello,
First, I'm sorry if this was discussed in details somewhere. I have read a lot of threads in accessories these last days. Even though some threads were about this subject (example : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176767, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200760), I haven't found the answer to my question. Moderators, feel free to move the thread, sorry if you have to.
To the point:
Basically my question is : Do we really have to choose between the dock and case/bumber? I would really love to be able to use both for obvious reasons (wireless charging and protection). I have found some cases that are supposed to fit the official dock, but according to users' reviews they are really bad and fragile (in addition to be ugly) : http://shop.brando.com/Simplism-Ultra-Thin-Cover-Set-for-Sony-Xperia-Z_p08858c1512d004.html or really bulky : http://shop.brando.com/Simplism-Flip-Note-Style-for-Sony-Xperia-Z_p8857c304d4.html
I would like to have something like the aluminium bumper : http://shop.brando.com/Sony-Xperia-Z-Metallic-Bumper_p8856c304d4.html
But with a charging pins cutout and a dock suitable for such a built. Probably a 3rd party kit : bumper + suitable dock sold with it.
Have anyone found something like this? Let's say no matter the price? Or some DIY is the only way so far? Would be really strange that no one on the market have thought about it...
Thanks!

I think the only way is to modify the dock(DK26) to fit aftermarket cases. Or make yourself your own.
Guys any idea if the Xperia Z would fit in the dock(DK26) with Spigen Glass.T?

I am using the DK26 dock and the Simplism cover with the Spigen glass T slim.
The way I worked it was to cut out from the back of the dock the 2 plastic arms that hold your phone in place when you dock it. this gives me a little more space and now the simplism cover and phone dock. its still tight but heck, it works.

I would bet more on first one than last one. Not because of price, but because it is thinnest. But still I think it will be not enough thin for dock. The thinnest case (simplism) is 0.35mm and by reviews it goes in dock in milimeters, I just wish to get one of the cases that are able to use with dock (even I have aftermarket dock) as it is annoying to put imak case everytime off the phone, when I need to charge it. So please, report us what was the results )
@magikmichael
Ok, I`ve got reply from seller on ebay
thanks for your inquiry.
at usually. it can use this case with charging dock station for Xperia Z
pls don't worry,if not ,we can do the full refund to you

Ordered the brown and it has just arrived. Really nice very good quality and the brown goes well with the titanium bronze.
Mine arrived yesterday. Colour looks great, suits the bronze tab. My only issues with it is the suede-like material on the inner side. It doesnt feel too hard wearing. As this part of the case makes the most contact with surfaces whilst the tablet is in standing-mode, it might be vulnerable to staining and discolouration. The other issue relates to the rather cumbersome procedure to open and close the tablet. It is very similar to opening an envelope...always flap first, then flip open front. I kind of wish it could be just flipped open in one go, like a regular book cover. I know Samsung produced a version like this, but it does not have stand facilities ?
