Checked many cases and covers in xda and the side flip cover would be a good solution for Xperia z,for which could protect the battery cover as well as the battery cover in good condition,also it seems not wired as the common flip case while calling with the flip cover hanging there,and I plans to get one soon, if some one get the side flip ones from here,the covers seem nice yet if anyone experienced with them?

Regarding the Nilkin case - does the front cover come off by itself or does it kind of stay on the display? It seems there is no snap on or magnetic feature..
It comes off by itself if your waving it around. No magnets no nothing.
Still I think they're one of the best looking.
Look through the cases covers and accessories thread. And ill be posting more new ones tonight.

Is it a leather or a PU one ?
As far as I know they are PU, I also ordered one 2 days ago and I'm waiting for it!

Thanks for reminding me that I hadn't sent a review
I already have it for 2 weeks now and I am overall pleased.
In detail:
Pros:
The mobile goes in the case really nicely and smoothly but steadily at the same time.
It doesn't give you the impression that it will fall off or something.
Handling the device is really easy, despite the fact that the screen protection side does not have a magnet or something to keep it closed.
Overall quality is ok.
Cons:
I didn't like at all the ugly edges of the case, it seems as if the material was accidentally spilled at the edges.
The upper and lower sides of the case are nothing but smooth.
The USB cap opening does not match exactly the usb cap resulting in having to take the X-Z out of the case whenever I want to charge it or connect it to my laptop.
My rating is: 7/10 and that's because I got really annoyed when I saw that opening the usb cap is really difficult with this case.
I am currently using this one as my primary case for my XZ.
Once I receive my dock, I will use again the pouch that I have.
Hi all.
Can someone advise me a case for this smartphone?
(A case that you have tested would be perfect)
I ask this because looking on ebay there are several case, but some of these from the photos do not appear specific to the Xperia L, and given that this smartphone is slightly concave on the back I would not buy a wrong case.

love it.. it fit perfects on hand, specially when playing lying down..
it's around $13-14 on our country, unlike the one posted on their site..
:highfive:
EDIT:
I will not recommend this case anymore.. this morning, it had chipped away some parts on its edge..
meaning, it's already damage, and its less than 2 weeks!!

Hey guys...I am thinking to buy a case.so far my phone didn't got any scratch because the back cover is really good material.However,I never droped it so even if it's pretty like this,I don't want to risk.So found 3 cases that i like:
Case Nr.1
Case Nr.2
Case Nr.3
I m not sure which one to choose.I'm interested that they don't tend to stick to my pocket when i try to get the phone like silicon cases do and to be as thin as possible.I would prefer Nr.3 but I'm not sure because in the product description it says that package box contain only screen guard.....Do you think they fit my needs?Any other suggestions?Preferably any other link for Nr.3 option that contains the whole set.Thanks!
I personally like the second one most of your three.
But myself, I would love to have a "case" like samsung usually produces for their devices, which is just a replacement for backcover and adds a screen saver to 'clip" over screen.... if you know what i mean

I have a fairly expensive Krusell case. It's a bit bulky, but the grip is excellent and it solves the problem with the protruding power button.
what about incipio dualpro case

I bought Sony Xperia L (C2104) just a month back. Already faced quality problem regarding photo and video capture.
Today it fell from my daughter's hand (only from 2-3 feet height) and the screen got too many cracks. Though the touch screen is working.
I have used (and dropped many times) many phones--- Nokia E51,E75, C6, Samsung Ace, Samsung S2, this is first phone which broke like this.
Even cheaper set sony Xperia J has Gorilla Glass, why this set doesnot have only sony can tell. Actually it was my fault, I thought a mobile in this price range must have a gorilla or alike glass.
FYI.
Does anybody know the approx charges required for replacing the screen? I think its better to sell this phone in ebay and buy another gorilla glass product. What do you suggest?

Gorilla Glass doesn't really prevent screens from being cracked. Its most important role is to protect the screen from being scratched.
I've seen lots of devices that have Gorilla Glass with a broken screen.
Your phone just felt the wrong side.

you're right man...my sensation with gorilla glass have cracked because fall from my shirt pocket 4 feet's away...and it cost 145 US Dollars for replacement..and I just sold it and bought a new phone...
Wat ? Xperie J has a Gorilla Glass ? Haven't heard of it.
Also Xperie L has a scratch resistant glass preventing glass being scratch. It's not build to protect the glass from being cracked.

Mine felt many times and the screen looks like the first day
Sony mobiles's service is also pathetic
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I am wondering what is the use of these glasses, only for better touch experience and looks? what about durability? My old nokia C6-00's plastic screen with a screen protector looks as new as it was earlier.
I found sony mobiles's service is also pathetic. The sony mobile's service center is not in my city, I asked them the approx charges to replace the screen / digitizer so that I can order it and later when the same will available with them I shall then send my phone for repairing.
But the arrogant people in the service center, reluctant to tell me anything in advance. They want me to sent the phone after that they will tell me the charges -> order the same -> wait 10 -20 days .. blah blah blah..
Pathetic.
Well each phone has its own facts , all the gorilla glass are not strong as hell ! My friend has lumia , before buying he was impressed with the durability of it as it was demonstrated by the person at nokia shop ! But his phone felt suddenly over a steel and phone is broken !

Yes!
Mine felt around 2 or 3 feet on tile. It was no problem.
Then it felt around 4 feet or a little more (on tile) but nothing happenned.
I will repair it asap because my connection between the two parts of the slider are broken. Need to buy an other slider.
It also depends how it falls.I dropped my old lg o1 on hone,cement,between stairs for 2 floors,etc and it worked very well.I find the most damaging dropping it on small rocks(gravel) ... I also dropped my XL from about 3 feet or a little more on a corner on a hard plastic surface and it didn't even got a scratch.I find the back cover really really resistant to scratches.I went for 1 week in a holyday and on the beach the sand scratched a lot my screen protector but the back cover looks like first day.I also kept it in girls bag with tons of other stuff like keys,coins,lighters,other phones,etc and not even scratch.I think it's the best back cover that i ever seen.It's almost like it doesn't need a case,but due to further drops from a higher area one case is needed.
About the screen...I really can't say how resistant it is.I think i don't want to know

You're right
My XMP (and my X)L have plastic edges around the screen. I think it helped me a lot when it felt
Concerning the bakc cover: I saw an other thread with members who were dissatisfied about it. But I hope it will last longer than my XMP one.
Collecting a list for Sony Z1 Compact screen protector & tempered glass list
So far got:
Moshi
Iloome
Mpero
thanks for the list, may i have the link pls as i can't find it anywhere online.
With a quick search I can see:
Case-Mate 2 Pack Screen Protector for Sony Xperia Z1 Compact for 9.99€
FoneM8® - Sony Xperia Z1 Compact Screen Protector (5 Pack) for £1.49
Expert Shield - THE Screen Protector for: Sony Xperia Z1 Compact *Lifetime Guarantee* for £6.95
And a couple of others, so manufacturers are getting there.
I personally would wait until major screen protector companies come into play.
Could anyone find one that includes the protector for the back of the phone?

If I am correct that the Z1f (Japan Version) and the Z1 Compact is indeed the same screen size/ sensors/ camera & flash location. After few days of researching there are already few Tempered Glass out for Z1f in Japan.
I am liking the Crystal Armor and will soon place an order, will update once received.
List : -
Crystal Armor (Glass) 9H (http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/keitai/item/151-450850/?s-id=borderless_browsehist_02_en)
ITO Pro+ Glass (http://colorantonline.com/) (Glass) 9H

Matte film, Roxfit - Qenuine for Z1C
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...int+Matt+Screen+Protectors&_sacat=0&_from=R40
Found this set by mumbi (3x front, 3x back) on Amazon (DE) - don't know if they ship worldwide though.
I have had my Z1 Compact for less than a week, been ultra careful and already it has a minor scratch on the back panel. This is ridiculous!
I wonder, do you lose the warranty for the front screen if you only remove the back ASF sheet?
But for now, I guess I'll have to fast-track buying some front+back protectors before this gets too bad!

I know,,
I am currently using some of those cheap 'pack of five' screen protectors and just cutting a front side protector down a bit for the back until I can get hold of one.. (ideally I am waiting for a tempered glass front which include a back side protector like they do for the Z1 (and which is easily for sale in eurpore - not japan)
to further protect it I use it in a Roxfit book case - which aint bad.. but to use the magnetic cradle i need to take it out of the case (not a lot of hassle)
I emailed Sony complaining about the back and how it's poorly designed but the response I got was totally non committal and saying they didn't sell back protectors.

Sony Z1 Compact case + screenprotector
Hi guys,
Been looking at the Z1 Compact for a week now as I'm pretty sure that's going to be my new phone as my contract expires in April, and I doubt the S5,Htc M8 or Sony Z2 will be very pocket friendly. If my HTC ONE X would be a fraction smaller, 4,5 or 4,6" it would be great for one handed use.
So I've been having a look around for tempered glass/sapphire screen protectors and cases for the Z1 Compact , and apart from the ones posted on this forum didn't find anything interesting so i've decided to actually reach out to companies(through mail, fb or twitter) and ask if they were going to make any for the Z1 compact.
Spigen: no reply
brandoworkshop: no reply
xgear : no reply
Otterbox: no plans for a Defender series at the moment (if people request it enough on their fb page they might speed it up).
iloome: nothing planned for the moment
Zagg: really funny situation with these guys. Bought a Zagg Invisible shield for my current HTC One X, and was so happy with it and the lifetime warranty that i recommended it to my ex and everybody I knew. Sent them a question on fb, waited for a day....no reply.
Then I receive a notification that a polish bloke from a company called 3MK Screen protectors replied on my post on Zagg's page, recommending their products (which btw look pretty nice).
Lo and behold, 2 hours later zagg reply as well saying they have a screen protector in the works and that they're going to pass my inquiry about an Arsenal Case for the Compact to their design team. I think if people show an interest on their fb page, we might get something out of it.
At this point I think that if enough interest is shown to Zagg and Otterbox they might come up with great solutions for cases.
I've put a request to "Rhino Shield" and they will look into it (If the demand is high they likely come out quicker). They are not bad according to review and price are reasonable compare to other product which has the similar specification. Pls put a request to their email/ FB/ Twitter if you like this on your Z1 Compact.
http://shopify.evolutivelabs.com/
I've ordered this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IA1AVZA/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 if anyone else is looking for clear protectors for the back.

Had a look at their product, and looks promising, even though I was thinking about getting Tempered Glass (don't know why I have the feeling I'd manage to shatter it within the first month as I drop my phone face down from time to time, from about 60-70 cm height).
Asked on FB if they plan on making any for the Z1 compact and said it depends on demand, so if anybody is interested, let them know.
I tweeted Rhino Shield and got this response from them:
"we think we would, it might be ready in few weeks time"
