I have the roxfit one with the gold metallic back and it feels very premium. Alas I have yet to check the fitting as my phone is due in a couple days but its an officially licensed product so should fit perfectly. Got it from clove.co.uk

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.

I just bought a bumper case off eBay (Sorry can't post links yet). Search for "Aluminum Metal Push-Pull Bumper Frame Hard Case Cover For Sony Xperia Z5 Compact". It's from Hong Kong so there's that. Haven't received it yet so I can't really say how good/bad the case is.

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

Rubber bumper?

I’ve been looking around for a simple rubber bumper to go around the phone (not a case, just a bumper).
Has anyone seen anything like this?

I could only find a hard plastic bumper (without back plain or clear back protection) on taobao.
Seems like no big brand make this kind nor eBay sellers have it.
Will post a picture eventually once I receive it.

They are for sale on eBay for $54 shipped, which is ridiculous, but I bought one anyway because I am desperate for this type of case and the devilcase bumper pretty much wiped out my reception. Will post pictures when it arrives, est. 1-2 weeks for delivery

Definitely would love to see those photos and hear how the case is! I saw it on eBay the other day for $45, saw that two of them had been sold already, and wondered who would have paid that much, lol! But if the case is really good and attractive and holds up, then it's probably worth it. I really really like the look of them.
I don't want to make you worry in advance, but I did do some research on it when I saw it, and the reviews on Amazon Japan were less than stellar. But a flag for me was what I read from the machine translation in one review: "Because it is soft in the hybrid material, the gap will get tired and pulled to the left and right up and down." Hard to be completely certain, but it sounds an awful lot like it's an issue that I had with a very similar bumper case for my Z2 (actually have several of them), where it will pop off of the left side of the phone because the rubber part is soft or whatever, so the thing juts off the phone and you have to push it back, but eventually it loosens up more and just won't hold at all anymore. But those cases cost about $3 on Aliexpress or DX.com, so it's sort of acceptable. For $54, I'd expect an absolutely flawless case.
Other than that problem, though, those are my favorite or second-favorite cases for my Z2, hands down, so I really hope the ones for the Z5 do not all suffer that issue.

I've had a lot of these bumper type cases, and they pretty much all suffer that issue to some extent. I've never had one start falling off the device, but they all stretch out over time. PayPal will let me dispute the transaction for an extremely long time after purchase, so if it indeed does start falling off shortly after purchase then I will take it up with them. Hopefully they have fixed any flaws like that by this point, because they certainly are charging me as such.
The materials are obviously not worth anywhere near $45, but this is the ONLY decent looming bumper I have seen so far and tbh it does look really nice. Here's to hoping I won't be thinking about the cost too much when it comes in!
Case should arrive this week, will post pictures.

Ok so the case arrived recently, I've had it for a few days now. The summary: not worth $50 (obviously) but it looks good and the fingerprint reader is extremely easy to access. I will be keeping it so long as it doesn't start to fall off my phone or anything.
I can see where the case might pull away from the phone a little by the headset jack, so I am trying to be careful not to put much pressure on that area of the case when I take it off/put it on. Otherwise I don't think the case will "stretch" out any, as it is fairly firm and doesn't have much give. Construction quality is mostly good, although you can feel a few rough plastic edges in a few places. Not enough to bother me, but enough to notice.
Overall it's a good case, worth $20-25. My green z5 looks absolutely beautiful with the class back protector and this case, this is pretty much exactly the type of case I've been looking for.

The Spigen case is nice, as well as the very similar Ringke Fusion, but neither of these are what OP was asking for. He's specifically looking for a bumper that isn't a full case (i.e.: no plastic or anything on the back).
As for bumpers, I think there may be potential in modifying the Orzly Fusion case. It's similar to the Spigen and Ringke, but a little different—specifically for this purpose, the bumper and the back panel are more distinctly separate from each other than on the other cases. I bought one last week and I think the plastic back could be removed to leave only the bumper as a usable case. I'm just uncertain whether or not the bumper alone will hold the phone in place. The case is a tiny bit loose as it is (doesn't look loose, but you can feel the phone move a tiny bit when you move it around quickly). The plastic back supposedly scratches up easily, according to reviews, and I had the Orzly Fusion for my OPO, which did get scratched up extremely easily, but I have not experienced the same with their Z5 case, surprisingly. I had originally planned on modding the case myself once the back was ugly, but since it hasn't gotten scratched up as easily as I was expecting it to, I haven't decided to defile the case yet. I will report back on it if I do, but I figured I'd mention it as a possibility for a less expensive bumper case (it costs $11.99 on Amazon US) if anyone else wants to try it first. The Elecom bumper that redandblack posted definitely looks much nicer than this case, but it may be worth a shot for someone who can't or doesn't want to spend that much or someone who wants a thinner bumper (the Orzly case is quite minimal as far as bulk).

Not rubber, but there are lots of aluminium bumpers for the Z5 on Amazon now. Most of them are pretty cheap too. I had one before (can't remember which phone though) and it felt pretty nice, and was lined with foam for protection. Definitely a good option if you want something stylish, minimal, and reasonably protective.

I have the Orzly case and the back definitely does scratch but a simple mod with contact paper lets the case resist scratches and still look good. It's funny because the case is hard to put on but I definitely feel a little wiggle when you move the phone just right. I'm also interested in a simple rubber bumper since I thought the aluminum ones would scratch up the phone.

Add the clear contact paper as I mentioned and it should look like new with a frost effect.

Is there really no aluminum case which doesn't worsen the reception? I don't need aluminum, but there seems to be only one plastic bumper posted here, from elecom, which price is ridiculous.

I would also love a rubber bumper. I just got my aluminum bumper and I'll keep an eye out for that drop in reception you mentioned. I like the minimalism of the aluminum case but I'm curious if anyone has encountered issues with the case damaging the phone with scratches or anything.

I've got the Devilcase bumper in aluminium red, no issue with signal for me. It has a cut out at the top
Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Just arrived Spigen Ultra Hybrid crystal clear

Extremely happy. Case fits my phone perfect. The cut outs are spot on however I wish the nexus scanner were wider however I'm sure it's something I will get use to.
The case makes the phone feel a lot more solid and not as fragile as it once did. My phone always felt like it was one drop away from being destroyed completely. Spigen did well by not adding a lot of weight to the phone and having the phones buttons cut out well but not perfect. There's not much separation between the volume up and down. It now feels like one large button. The headphone, camera, rear mic and charger are cut out clean with enough space.
The lip between the phone screen and case are perfect where I feel comfortable placing the phone on its screen side and not worry about it being scratched. The lip isn't so large that you feel this huge separation between phone and case.
9/10 imo. Hope this helps. Ask any questions you need.

There are 2 parts, the back is hard but the top, bottom, sides and corners are all softer and rubbery to absorb shock.

Tyvm! When I first saw this case I thought it was kind of ugly. It grew on me to the point I am actually looking forward to this one more than any of the others I already have.

I literally have less anxiety knowing my phone has a case now. I may contact spigen but I am not that anal. Plus I dont want to go without a case again.

Anyone know how this compares to the Ringke Fusion clear case? I thought they were exactly the same at first, but it looks like the Spigen leaves the whole visor exposed, while the Ringke only has a small cutout. I had to return my Ringke to Amazon because the TPU had a medium sized tear in the corner. I'm wondering if I should get this instead.

Yup. I got a crack in mine too. Probably how its molded. I spent a couple minutes trying to get it off thinking it was a smudge.

Spigen. They are top notch and you can't go wrong with them. I surely wouldn't let the crack stop you. I don't believe it effects the integrity of the case doing its job

Out shouldn't, Spigen cases have some of the best cutouts and Ive never had any issues with it on their tough armor that I'm using now. The cutout is likely the same size as their other case which would make it ~14.45mm according to my caliper. It's the perfect size in my opinion

If they put out a Slim Armor or Neo Hybrid, I'd buy them! Their "shimmery white" color on the Nexus 6 case was amazing! It was like an iridescent white. Very cool. The Frost N6P would look so damn sexy in one like that.

Over at reddit some users are seeing that line too:
reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/3sl3iu/just_got_the_spigen_ultra_hybrid_crystal_clear
Interstingly, in the reddit OP's imgur album you can clearly see that there is no crack/scratch before the case was installed. In the later photos the crack appears when the case is on the phone.
Direct link to imgur album: imgur.com/a/pLn4g
Im guessing that the tension introduced to the case when snapping it onto the phone is causing the crack to appear. However, from the few cases I've seen it seems that so far these cases have the exact same small crack at the same position, so it may could be there on purpose. Only the guys at Spigen will know for sure.

I experienced the same hairline crack and contacted Spigen's CS team. They're helpful and sent out a replacement one for me. If you're willing to deal with the short wait time, then i'd say go for it.

Case included with phone

So first off loving my 1+6 (8/128). Super fast and just plain awesome! Puts my S8+ in the dust
But my main reason for this post is about the included phone case that came with the phone. I haven't seen anyone mention it on here, so wasn't sure if anyone was aware. But inside the box the the phone is attached to once you unbox it, there is a basic style phone case inside. It's nothing fancy, but it's a case. And it's FREE. I actually like it, and was so glad it was there as I didn't want to wait several days for a case to be ordered and delivered. Granted, I completely bypassed that part of the unboxing as it usually just includes the "paperwork" that nobody reads. But after a day, I was hurting for protection on my phone. Always carefully putting it down somewhere where it wouldn't slide and scratch the backing. Or on something super soft. So, I just so happened to re-open the box and look inside and to my surprise, there was a case.
So, this phone is not only awesome in speed and performance (minus a bit of battery issues at the moment), but they also include a pre-attached screen protector AND a phone case! WOW...hats off to you OnePlus! More OEMs should be taking a page out of your book...ESPECIALLY for the prices we are asked to pay for these "premium" phones.

It's a high quality case and I like it a lot.
I knew about the free case inside the box but I bought other 2 cases from Oneplus, I like the one from the package more.

It doesn't suck, and I'm glad not to have to go naked with a glass phone while I wait for a real case from UAG. Nice gesture from OP, though these TPU cases cost about 50 cents to make.

Compared to other TPU cases ain't bad.
I jsut hate transparent TPU cases, with dust getting between the case and the phone

I really like it for indoor environment, pretty slim, grippy, light weight raised bezels, especially on corners, good quality material and air bags on corners

I don't like it. But I don't like gel cases full stop. They're too sticky for me. I've bought the silicone case though which is amazing.

Indeed, I was glad to see one included, though I did know about it beforehand as it was listed in the "What's inside the box" portion of the web site. I am putting on a rugged case in a couple of weeks but for now am happy my OP6 is protected to some degree.

Uh... They've been including a case since the 5T and have had the even pre applied even protector for quite a while now. And I would suggest getting the nylon bumper case it's much safer and doesn't make the device bulky. Didn't look through the whole box lmao.

Let me share my OP6 experience. I used the included case for a good 3 days and I think it's a decent option. Coming from OnePlus One, I decided to buy the sandstone back case for my OP6 and boy oh boy, it's premium! Although there is compromise with safety as it doesn't wrap up the phone completely but for someone like me who doesn't drop his phone much, this premium case if pure gold! Totally recommended ♥
Edit: Adds zero bulk to the phone, fits like a glove and even covers the camera bump with ease. As I've already mentioned a few times before, it feels and looks premium!

it's a good case, i'd just prefer a black rim because it looks a bit grayish from the front while the back looks grat transparent.
however, it's not only free, it's also decent ?

I have the silk white and when sunlight hits the case the whole surrounded areas of the phone glow a pinkish light. Super cool effect.

Is the camera bump really protected? I've been using the included case for a couple of days and I cannot tell for sure if it does. I really love slim cases as dropping the phone is quite improbable in my case, but getting the camera glass scratched for putting the phone on a table would be a bummer.

I was also wondering this, I tried it on a glass table and looked from underneath and I would say the camera glass is not protected by the stock case. I wonder if it would be the same case with the karbon bumper

My search for the same answer brought me here. It looks like it's flush with the case but it's so close it's hard to tell. The case is thin and grippy and the buttons are easier to press compared to the nylon case. If I knew the camera was protected I would use it as my main case.

Thanks for that info. I guess I won't use this case on a regular.

I prefer cases that are as slim as possible. The phone is big already, and adding even more bulk with a sturdy case makes it even more cumbersome. I'm considering other choices as I don't want the camera to get scratches, but I haven't seen transparent/flexible with enough thickness to guarantee camera protection. OP cases are also compatible with the tempered glass, so I guess I'll have to go with one of the official cases (have an unopened sandstone, but again, I don't know how it fares regarding the camera).

Uh... They've been including a case since the 5T and have had the even pre applied even protector for quite a while now. And I would suggest getting the nylon bumper case it's much safer and doesn't make the device bulky. Didn't look through the whole box lmao.

Yep that's indeed the case
Didn't realize it until I checked the box when I selling the 5T. Then I realized I had one with the 6 as well. Definitely great that both a pre-applied protector and a case are included in the box.

I usually protect the lens with Dbrands along with the body of the phone. You can also instead opt for lens glass protectors which can be purchased pretty cheaply.

Where can I buy this case?

Would love to know this as well. I've been thinking of buying the same thing with the same colour and I've never been able to find one

My thoughts on Dbrand Grip Case

I am not a big fan of phone cases and never actually used one on my Pixel devices but this frosted glass on Pixel 4 is soo slippery so I decided to go with a dbrand case because of case customization. I can tell that the case really is super grippy and my phone doesn´t slide out of my pocket like before.
Only problem for me is the main selling point of this case,skins. Installation is super easy and you really can´t mess it up like regular skins but after a day of using it with a skin I noticed that dust collects like crazy around the edges of the skin and it doesn´t look really nice. Now I am using it without a skin and there is no dust at all on the back or edges. It´s still a nice solid case with a lot of protection and I´ll keep using it for sure but without skin. Did anyone else noticed this?

I have a skin on mine and no dust gets stuck on the back. The front however, quite a bit of dust accumulates. I'd say that's the only downside of the case though. The level of grip on the case has ruined all other cases for me.

So how do I get so much dust on the back? I ordered limited teardown skin. Maybe the fit is not 100% so dust can come in.

Yeah the only thing I can think of is the fit. I used to have the teardown and now I have robot camo. Both have been dust free for me.

I'll just order another skin and see how it fits. Kinda like it without skin. It looks sleek.

I've been wanting to get the grip case for my Pixel 4 XL but need to know one thing if you can tell me. does wireless charging still work with the case, if not that's a deal breaker for me since I charge my phone at night

I am also a big fan of the grip case. I have the swarm skin installed, and it just looks and feels awesome. I have a few cases lying around, which are just obsolete at this point. No problem charging wirelessly, but then again i never had any problem with any case regarding qi charging.

I ordered the case and a carbon fiber skin for my Pixel 4 XL. I just hope the skin is easy to install with no bubbles. I don't wanna mess it up and have it wasted.

Just to update everyone. Got the new case and skin yesterday and everything looks good now,no dust at the edges. I don't know what was wrong with the first skin and dust collecting,it's weird.

Does the squeeze feature still able work with the case? I'm thinking to buy it and honestly this is a big selling point for me?
Thanks.

Yes it still works

One of the best cases for pixel. Nice grip & protection, very very tactile buttons. Love it.

Agree

I've bought it almost two months ago and honestly I'm really disappointed. The case itself is good looking and the feeling is good however it literally unglued itself around the edges from the whole bottom part of the case.
I haven't dropped it or abused it in anyway (just cleaned it with soapy water twice) and now literry it not usable since it all over my hands when I hold it. I can't glue it back since the rubber part is a little too big and just can't hold it perfectly enough so that the glue sticks.

I also bought the prism screen protector and the experience is even worse. Because of the sensors the pixel 4 has it is literally cut off from the top and aligning it correctly is a nightmare(because there is nothing to actually have a reference point to). Even if you manage to apply it, the sides won't stick perfectly to the glass of the phone and you have awful edges (the gestures are hell to execute and in time painfull for fingers). On top of the the protector is pretty thick (which is good and bad).

It seems that's a know issue and acknowledged by them: https://www.reddit.com/r/dbrand/comments/irmpup/the_truth_about_the_dbrand_grip/
Get in touch with them. From the reddit page: "You should still write in to our Customer Experience team if it happens to you - we'll work something out."

Where in the world do you find more skins for this case? I ordered regular skins and they're to big. Can't find skins for case without ordering the case with it.
