Cases for the Z3v?

Looks like you got one blue and one green? Which do you like more? (and please don't tell me it depends on what you're wearing!!! LOL)

Nah its just the blue. The Nexus 7 camera I was using just sucks. ;-)

It's a nice shade of blue, though. :-)

Got my two ebay TPU cases. Clear and Grey. They are great cases, especially since they were $12 for two of them as well. Love the fact that the backs aren't glossy, and they are thinner/lighter than the Verizon glossy black one. Cutouts for the buttons are ace for me.

I really like the clear on my white Z3v.


Edit: Just realized they cover the speakers... :(

Phone is too nice to cover with any case. Ordered a genuine wood cover for the back from Lastucase. Has to come from Finland, so it'll be awhile before it gets here. Also experimenting with a way to get rid of the horrid Verizon logo...

How are you getting it from them? They only have the z2/z3 not this phone.

This phone and the z2 are pretty close in dimensions on the front and back. They differ in thickness, the magnetic charger on the side of the z2, and a couple of sensors/mics on the sides. I'll post pics and highlight if it runs short.

Managed to get my Lastucase Melo wood cover for the rear in the mail today. Quality is fantastic and really adds to the premium look of the phone. Unfortunately, the Z2 is confirmed as being shorter by a mm than the Z3v and that's evident with this wooden back. Width fitment and fitment around the camera and flash is perfect. With my phone being black and the contrast being so great, the slightly too short length not readily noticeable at a glance, therefore no big deal to me. Anyone OCD would probably not like it, though. Considering the VERY limited amount of accessories for our phones, this is probably as good as it'll get for specialty items like these. I added the metal Sony logo from a vendor on Ebay to give it bit of a kick...

That looks awesome, man! I have a white Z3v and don't think I'd be able to pull off the Lastucase with it being slightly shorter than what would fit the Z3v. I really like this phone, but the available accessories is seriously underwhelming. Hopefully in time... I'm definitely going to look into a Lastucase.

I know no one with this phone. I switched to the xperia Z3v from my first Smartphone, an iPhone4, and I can't imagine ever going back to an iPhone.

Thanks, man. This phone probably won't get to much more accessory support beyond what's out there now. If only they could've just made the phone dimensionally the same as the Z2, we could have all kinds of awesome accessories. Get what toy can now while you can!
 
I just got a gray TPU case for $8 from EBay, and I like it a lot. Mine came from China, and it isn't the one with the s shaped pattern on the back. It fits perfectly, and looks good. It is transparent gray on the edges, and opaque/matte finish on the back. It isn't slippery and it feels really good in my hand.

I have no problem using wireless chargers with the cover on. In fact, the cover helps in my wireless car charger/cradle . the case is cut out for the volume and camera buttons on the side rather than having buttons built into the case. This allows me to put the phone in my car cradle without the side buttons getting pressed by the cradle sides.

The gray looks great on my white phone, and seems like it would look good on the black model, too. It only seems to be available in gray and clear (they call it white) at this time.

China shipping took a couple weeks, but it arrived earlier than promised.

This case actually made it so I finally love this phone. I had the Incipio case and found it (and the phone) too large and to slippery. With this case the phone feels great. I have wireless chargers on my nightstand, on my desk at work, and in the car. Now that I don't have to **** around with the charger door, the phone is cover and waterproof.

I found this today!!! I hope it is worth it and good quality! Ill take pics and let you know. I did a one day shipping since I had some reward points from my Amazon card!

Lurker here just thought I'd give a heads-up. I received mine today from here and it's for the Z3 not the Z3V. I've contacted the seller.

Does it still cover up the speaker grilles? I think someone had that issue earlier in this thread...

Ugh that will make me mad if that is what they give me because they clearly advertise it as so as well even showing a pic of the z3v in the case.

I canceled the order but for some reason it is still coming lol. So I'll give it a shot and still provide an update.

It's a fail. Doesn't fit even though they clearly show the phone in the case.
