As the title says , I bought a cheap S view vase from eBay but it doesn't work. Apparently there needs to be some sort of pin or magnet on the case which isn't there on 3rd party cases ?

Got mine working fine using the instructions HERE. Use the Nadia kernel, the AEL done weird things to my button assignments.
Huge thanks to all involved.
No wonder why it doesn't work ! It's missing the pins :
They have some pins online but the key is getting the exact ones that samsung uses.
Eh it's not worth the hassle , coughed up the extra $$ and bought an original one. Looks sexy.

Hi
I'm looking for a dock now for two reasons, once is I got extra battery and I need charger for it and second is because its cool ;P
But I use case (double protection silicone + plastic) and all I find is those who fits the dhd with no cover.. :/
I cant believe that not most of the people use case protector so these stores would make atleast 1 dock that would fit it..
I also tried to contact about 20 different stores asking them if it would fit their dock and all said no
Can you please help me find 1?
That fits with case and of course can charge batteries..
Thanks,
Yarden
anybody?
don't be shy..
Same question here...
Ive had a really good look around Ebay but havent found any myself. Also quite interest...I believe its because the USB plug is not able to support the weight of the phone therefore, needed to sides to be supported as a result, these docks are made to the shape of the phone, without case.
I hate it but you are right..
I'll just build my own custom one.

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
any questions,pls contact us
best regards

About time some manufacturers are gonna read these topics, I think they sell them out in no time
I was reading a post on another forum about the bumper case from Verizon for the Z Force. The post stated that the case does not fit 100%. Specifically, the back bottom of the case has a lip that sits on the back of the shell. This causes the charger port opening to not be aligned and, therefore, the charger will not plug in all the way.
I did get a bumper case and confirm this is true for the Z Force. While a "thinner" USB - C cable might plug in, the OEM one does not work. The post talks about grinding away the lip and enlarging the charger port opening. I haven't done this yet as I may just return the case.
My biggest draw to this case was that I could still use mods with it. I think I might wait for Verizon or Motorola to correct the issue on their own and get that updated version.

Got it this weekend. Don't like it. Fits a little loose on the side, and while it does work with mods, it does NOT fit properly with the style shell attached.

My Droid Force Z bumper case from Verizon fits perfectly. Make sure you get the Droid Force Z case. They have three different cases for the Droid Force Z,Droid Play Z, and Moto Z at my Verizon store . I picked up the Moto Z one the first time or maybe I got a redesigned case since I picked it up yesterday.
I have 2 of these cases for mine and the wife's Moto Z Forces. No issues with the fit or charge port. Wish i would have seen them in store when we purchased. Would have saved us from scared on the edges of the device
Verizon got a second batch of the bumper cases a month or so ago. Many people are reporting that the newer cases fit without modification.

Even though we have "scars" on our phones, maybe it was a good thing we didn't buy them upon purchase
I purchased the bumper case from Verizon a week or so ago when they had BOGO offer. So I got 2 of them for $14.99. Fits perfectly and there was no modifying that I had to do.

Here's mine. I must have the second design as mine works perfectly. I got it on the buy one get one free sale (son has the force too so second was necessary). I like the look of the incipio version, but $7 vs $30, I can deal with the verizon bumper.

I replaced camera glass (not lens) because it was cracked. Looks like new one is plastic, it can be easily scratces and if I remember correctly original one is glass not plastic. Is every replacement is plastic or I bought bad one, this is important because I can't afford them easily. You guys pay 5 but I have to pay 20 or more.

Thank you for answering. :good:
However how can I be sure if it's original or not?
1 $ = 3.67 ₺ that makes 5$ product costs me 18.38₺ which is high for me to buy another to try many times.
Can you recommend another site? (they shutdown paypal in my country so i can not shop from ebay)

Do a thing take your phone to a watch repair shop who puts glass in wrist watches, and ask them to cut the glass of the phone camera size and apply it on your phone. Got mine fixed from a local watch repair shop at 1.5$ and the camera is working just fine as it used to do.
Give a thumbs up if you feel it helped

Hi guys. I just have a quick question. I bought my note 4 2nd hand and upon checking i noticed there's a small crack on the glass cover of the rear camera. When i tried using the camera, it could not focus at all. It keeps blurring. So i replaced the glass cover, and when i tried using the camera again, same issue is still present.
Should i just change the entire camera assembly?
TALIA guys. ??
So i emailed nokia/hmd asking if they could advise when the cases will be available and they havent replied.
Has anyone purchased any good cases yet?

I bought this from eBay.
spigen case.
Wrong thread.
Bought official slim flip brown case, it is really worthy for such nice looking bhone, it is clearly much better quality than common chinese flip cases.
As is stated in other thread here, it does not have a magnet, a had to insert small magnet from notebook HDD into card pocket for screen sensor to work.
Bought something like this: https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1fgy0...d-PC-Soft-Silicone-Back-Phone.jpg_640x640.jpg
Looks nice, looks even a bit more premium (I mean.. I payed for it like 3$ ) than it's worth. Doesn't feel like it. But the doesn't offer as much of protection as it's advertised. I guess none of them protect the phone any more.. The leg is quite useful (Cheaply made, could break off pretty easily, yet it's still intact on my phone). All the holes for jack ports sucks. 3.5mm impossible to fit (well.. I use other headphones, maybe original ones fit). Maybe I will make the hole bigger somehow.. USB jack also gives problems. You have to adjust the bottom part of the case everytime. Can live with it, but could be better.
