Besides the curved back, Xperia Z1C and Xperia L are pretty much in similar size. Has anyone tried one of the case for Xperia L for Z1c?

I bought the Terrapin case from Amazon (UK), only cost a couple of quid so I wasn't expecting much but it's pretty good, very compact and doesn't add much bulk to the phone but seems sturdy enough and looks classy.

What do you think about the Roxfit Z1 Compact Gel case?

Do you think the transparent back will stronger the problems with led flash in dark situations mentioned in other threads?

I have ordered my z1 compact, I have xperia s at the moment. I have always used a leather push/sock case. The dimensions of the two phones appear to be very similar, I can't find a leather push case for the z1 compact, could anyone confirm that an Xperia s case would be a good fit.

I ended up with this cheap case for my Lime green Z1C

the phone might be 5mm too long.

I got the Roxfit book flip case for my Z1C

Reason: Only case the shop had, and I always want it to be in a case.

Good points: All ports and buttons accesible. Can charge wired when open or closed. Can see notification lamp when closed.

Bad points: It doesn't stay shut. It was £15 (CPW) . It's flimsy. I don't much like it. Maybe I'll get used to it or maybe not.

Thing is, for £15, I'd want better. And I better make darned sure the next case I buy is the right one, so on the look out for suggestions. Must be mag charger compatible.

The Roxfit I have looks like it will only be compatible with magnetic cables when open, as it has a spine down that location.

Also, this case is inconvenient for the camera. And too slippy.

Er, I don't like it much do I?!

Going to buy some mag cables now.

I bought Orzly case from eBay. Not bad quality and price.

I'll use the wool sock until a good quality leather pouch style one becomes available.
I like the phone to be bare when using it but protected when in pocket/gf's handbag

Got the Roxfit clear back one.

It's awful. lol

The bottom sags lower than a granny's..... <insert expletive>

Perplexed as to how they can charge £15 for it. I got it free so can't complain too much. Might just risk the phone without one.

What I really want is a back screen protector. £10 for a screen and back protector is too steep, just need a cheapo back protector.

will the bumper cases work with the magnetic cradle? or would I need to take them out?

I know the cradle comes with a different size insert.. but is the magnetic strip raised enough to accomodate the bumper size?

Richdog · Feb 7, 2014

To all those thinking "Hmm I may not get a case" I HIGHLY recommend doing so, as the glass back and front make it very slippy and at some point the law of averages dictates it WILL fall out of your hand on to something very hard.

The cheap bumper case I got from eBay doesn't work with the official DK32 magnetic dock - it sounds as though the magnet is connecting to the phone, but it doesn't charge. I'm assuming that the case is too thick to allow the charging pins to reach the phone. I am still looking for a case that will work with the magnetic dock - I don't like having to remove the case to charge the phone.

Have anyone tried if the Case mate Tough Case works with the DK-32 magnetic charging dock?

steanne · Feb 9, 2014

there's a case made for the z1f for mounting qx10 or qx100 cameras. ...not that i'm buying one of those. i ordered the terrapin.

Richdog · Feb 12, 2014

I bought this one form Ebay... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390757171...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

The screen protector is beyond useless (I order more separately anyway) but the case actually fits pretty well, all ports and buttons are easily accessible, and it is made of "soft touch" hard plastic that feels a little rubbery. All in all pretty smart, and it reminds me of the cases I see on iPhones... though Im sure the quality is less considering how much it cost. Either way, it will do the job of protecting from everyday scuffs.

Going for a casemate tough. With a screen protector I won't feel the need to baby this thing.
