Well, this one doesn't have a screen protector, but it's supposed to be shock absorbing and such: http://www.amazon.com/LK-Protection...UTF8&qid=1443930217&sr=1-7&keywords=xperia+z5
Ideally I would like a wireless charging case like the one Sony made for Xperia Z3. Don't think that it's going to happen without the contacts though.
not much to chose from for now but i bought this "MoKo Halo" clear tpu case
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JP6GM84?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
looks like a pretty decent case

Watch out for this case. I've got some scratches at display after 4 days of using this case. I am trying to explain this thing with Sony Poland.

Yes, indeed.
I got a response from the Sony support. They write, I sent the phone and case so they could look at this. They promise that if the case is actually the cause of it is covered by the warranty. I do not know whether it will repair or replacement. On Monday I'm going to send phone and let you know how it goes.

I've ordered the SCR42, will keep an eye out on the scratching,
Was it on the window are where the scratches where?
Hi,
I have the Orzly Fusion Bumper, this one is quite interesting for those who want a real bumper, and don't mind having thick edges, the screen is never in direct contact with the surface (when the phone is turned upside down). I find it quite un-ergonomic, I can't hold well the Z5.
I also order the Orzly FlexiSlim, this one will protect the back for sure, but no the screen anymore. However, it looks very thin (like a second skin layer).
Those two are temporary, because I'm waiting for Case-Mate to release the "Barely There" case for the Xperia Z5. I already have one for my Z1 and its gorgeous and very ergonomic.
I was looking at the case mate tough.. Anyone using one?

I've used for Z3. Excellent case, although a little big and visible. I used while climbing in the mountains and trekking. Perfectly protect your phone from bumps and scratches. I've never used it in the city. I take care of device and there was no need to protect it so hard in the city.

I'm very happy with the original case from Samsung:

Im using this one here:
http://dx.com/p/protective-artificial-leather-case-for-samsung-p7300-black-116425?item=2
It works nicely enough. Only problem is that front bezel cover is a tad too big so it sticks a few mm out on side, making pushing power/volume keys not as comfortable.
Ordered this one for my dad.. must say it is even better (almost exactly original clone, just cheaper):

Besides, the pictures show the official Samsung book cover case which is made of plastic, yet the post title says it's leather. my hunch is if you ordered it, you won't get what you see in the pics.

The order changed to "Complete" and it says its shipped, but I didn't yet receive a tracking number (paid 2$ extra for that).

Poetic Leather Case - 17.95 w/FS
I'm still waiting for the Chinese Ipad-style case I ordered from eBay, which was supposed to arrive 2 days ago. But......
I just received my Poetic(TM) Stand Leather Case with Angle Adjustable for Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9" that I found on ebay. Shipping was very fast (3 days) but the seller never responded to an email I sent before purchase!
I had a Moko imitation leather case similar to this on my last tablet, and the Poetic is far, far better quality. The tabs on the sides of the tablet fit perfect whereas the Moko was a bit off. And the finish on the Moko started scuffing off of one corner after a couple weeks.
If you are interested in this style case, the eBay Item Number is 110939391633.
Sorry, can't post a direct url since I'm a newbie on this forum.

I use a hard case (got it from eBay), its rubberized but not too much, has a great grip, was around Rs. 400... and the best part: it is shaped almost like the back cover of the XL, along with its curve!
But yeah, the thickness is substantially increased, though now it fits perfectly in my hands, it may not be the same for everyone!

I think you'll have to await for Devil Case to come up with the goods for this. Going by my z3c experience it took over 6months from the phones availability for the case to become available (albeit not in its masses.)
DevilCase Sony Xperia Z3/Z3 Compact Aluminum Alloy Protective Bumper (Sony Z3 Compact, Black) by DevilCase http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00SUWYDSK/ref=cm_sw_r_other_udp_awd_3J4gwb9Z7EXYR
(Mind you its not rounded as such, edgy, but hands down most superior protection amongst all competitors in this category.)
For now, the Fusion Orzly @hispanico mentions above is the nicest for the limited choice you have currently. I tried this on my z3c.. Offers great protection and prevents the phone slipping drastically compared to the naked device. However I personnaly found it made the device a little too clunky for my liking. But its a great choice offering the best protection for now.
I'd like a TPU bumper, something to add some grip and protection without having to cover the rear of the phone.
If somebody knows about one, please tell me.

How is the grip compared to the phone naked? (Never has aluminium bumper before).
And what about the size? Is it slim?
Sent from my E5823
Yes, that's the case. I'll try to update when I get the case. I should get it in the next couple of days.
Definitely agree. Like I mentioned in the other thread, the phone is too slippery. I like to use the phone one handed and have to balance my hand between gripping it tight enough so it doesnt slide (which is fairly tight) and keeping it loose enough that my thumb can reach the left top corner. ust over the past few days, I've noticed some strain on my hand from having to maintain the grip (not too tight, not too loose).
I have the Orzly Fusion. I wonder if I could take off the back plastic some how. It would be good to have some protrusion out the back to protect the back glass too. Ofcourse, this sounds great in my head, but I bet if I try to modify the case it will turn out ugly and ruined.

I have the same case and going to try to remove the plastic back when i get my balolo back skin. if it don't work ill just buy a new one will report back.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing. the issue I see is it will leave too much of a extra hanging over the back due to the thickness of the plastic. Unless you plan to just slice through the bumper to get the back off.

So today i recived the balolo back cover, unfortunately they messed up and made the cut outs for the z3 compact... But i cut of the top part of the cover and applied it anyway. Now to the orzly bumper, i did remove the plastic back and it does fit around the z5 pretty good. The only problem is that it's clearly not made to work just as a bumper cause it is a little bit loose around the edges, so i don't recommend removing the back but it does work
I guess they have a smaller lip in front to keep the phone from falling out the front but dont need one on the back since the backing holds the phone in.

There is a lip at the back as well so it stays on the phone, but the "frame" is a bit too big.

i have that case, it feels alright, but it makes using the fingerprint scanner hard as the bumper causes the scanner to be even more depress and harder for your fingerprint to fit and be scanned easily. the buttons are just attached to the tape/cushion on the bumper and it messes with my already bad reception
also does not have a lip to protect the front of the phone in the event of the phone landing face down

got the ultra for my s6 and i like it but the crystal shape and slimness is also appealing..
Thin Fit is out of question not enough lip on the front
I would go for the crystal one simply because it offers better protection. Hopefully they will do one for the z5 Premium as I'm looking to get the Z5 Premium when its released.

I'm debating as well. Would like someone to post a video review on the Spigen cases first.
I ordered an ultra from eBay but it seems like its going to be a few weeks before its going to be delivered.
Great. Keep us posted.
I got the Crystal case -- seems to warp the phone pretty nicely, the back is not pure clear, it has "dots" on it, so it makes it seem slightly cloudy (which I prefer tbh)
Nice can you post some pics for us?

I bought the gunmetal one and should be getting it tomorrow (friday). Unfortunately I won't be receiving my Z5 until either Saturday or sometime next week. I will be sure to take pictures of the case once it gets here.
I managed to get the Thin Fit case in gunmetal.
It fits extremely well. There's no movement or creaking when pressure is applied. Unlike some other thin cases, this one gives a little protection to the bottom of the device aswell.
There is a small lip on the front. However, it's not massively clear in the attached images as I have the Spigen glass screen protector on my Z5 aswell.

Can't complain so far. Protection is minimal, but it's nice that it curves over the top and bottom of the device a little for some extra protection.
The buttons are about as good as they'll get with a case. The power button is more recessed than before, but doesn't impede operation in any way. You're just aware there's a case on when touching the fingerprint sensor as you can clearly feel the edges of the case.
It really feels like a premium case, which is often difficult to accomplish with a single piece plastic shell ?
Hybrid = > Safety
I have the ultra hybrid and its great!
I got the ultra hybrid as well.
For my other phones, I've always just gotten the slim fit case from Spigen but opted to change it up this time and I'm very happy with it
Also using the Hybrid here... very happy.

For my other phones, I've always just gotten the slim fit case from Spigen but opted to change it up this time and I'm very happy with it

Def improved the silicon gives it a lot more grip

Are the volume and camera buttons totally uncovered? I have a case that I bought with the phone that has grooved covered buttons; the volume button is nearly nonfunctional; the camera button is worse.
yes they are, but it could do with a bit more access to the buttons
I didnt have an issue with the camera button, but yes the volume buttons were harder to access. Didn't notice much issue accessing the power/fingerprint button.

I just got the Orzly Flexislim case. I love it a lot because it looks like the phone is naked.
It is really thin, and the Black Smoke color one, is roughly the same color as the so called "Black" Z5C (which in reality is more grey than black). The only protection this case will give you is light scratches from keys\coins in pocket or placing phone on table\cupholder\w.e . It won't protect against a drop. It is actually slightly more "slippier" than the naked phone, but not by much.

I've decided to go completely naked

Hello!! I'm between a bumper and a full case...I tend to drop the phone a lot and I have the impression that bumpers won't work...but since I never used one I wanted to ask the experts
I'm between the orly and this full case which it's going to provide a nice protection but looks like it's going to make the phone bigger...I don't know :
Sony Xperia Z5 Compact Case, INNOVAA Smart Grid Defender Armor Case
What would you recommend?
Thank!!
I have the Sony SCR44 case.
Good:
It works as advertised, with a small app on the windows, were you can check email, calendar, control music.
Quality material.
Bad:
Not magnetic, keeps opening.
Window gets dirty very easily.
The fit does not look secure, you can take out the phone too easily.
I got a Nillkin hard case, sold here under a different name.
Quite frankly I prefer the phone with this case on it. It's that good. Everything is cut out and shaped perfectly, plus it has a wonderful texture on the back.

I've just picked it up too and agree completely. Do you have a constant alert on the main widget saying you have receieved a message? I haven't, but it wants me to think I have. I'm using Google's Messenger as my default SMS app so think that may be related...
EDIT: Scrap that. I added the Sony Clock 2 widget and moved it to the far right position, then removed the default widget. I don't get the weather update any more, but it's good enough.

Naked is best ... until you break a 700$ phone. Happenend to me. I'm using a tempered glass screen-protector and a very nice transparent backplate now. Won't save it from a fall on concrete but at least it's less slippery and i can put it down without scratching the back.

Happened to me too. But I still won't use a case or protector
Scratches are for me a total non-issue and slipperiness can be addressed by a vinyl back without increasing the phones size.
I find it silly to pay $$$ for design and thinness and then put it in a case. But preferences differ.
Thank you
I have the white one and I went with the clear case
Just got my Nillkin case.
One word, fabulous. Very, very good.
I got the brown one, to match my black(?) Z5c, and it matches very well!

Looks like a great case, but the seller on Amazon didn't ship to Sweden :/ And I can't find any other who sell the same case, you said that it's really a Nillkin case, do you know the full name?
Cheers!
Edit: This is the same case, right?
