Been looking for a good quality very protective case for the phone (buying this soon) as most seem to be the very flimsy wallet style cases than offer no protection whatsoever.
Found these 2 so far:
Amazon (UK) : DWay Lenovo ZUK Z1 Armor Case Hybrid Design Detachable and Stand-up Feature Dual Layer Protective Shell Hard Back Case Cover for Lenovo ZUK Z1 5.5inches
Loads of colours, has the excellent Soft TPU + Hard PC = Dual Layer protection including the foam rubber at the corners which means if you drop it on it's corner it usually bounces a little and won't damage it. It also has a lip which will protect the screen if you drop it face down onto a flat surface, obviously dropping it on the corner of a table or similar surface will smash the screen but no case will protect against that. A lot of people don't like these cases because they bulk up a phone which should be "thin and stylish" but to be honest, I'd rather have a safe phone than worry about how it looks. I had a very similar case previously for my Nexus 4 and they are excellent at protecting your phone, I dropped the Nexus 4 a few times (sometimes while inebriated
) and it never got damaged at all in a very similar case to this.
On sale at the moment for £5.99 (Supposedly normally £19.99)
Ebay: AMZER DUAL LAYER RUGGED HYBRID WARRIOR KICKSTAND CASE FOR LENOVO ZUK Z1 - BLACK
Similar case on ebay, looks to have the same build type but next to no info and looks to be only available in black.
On sale for US $6.36 (Approximately £4.19)
They both have lockable kickstands if you like watching videos or listening to music on your phone, I've never really been big on doing so.
I think I'll be going with the first one and try to find a good tempered glass protector but I'm not fond of these as they usually make you lose a bit of functionality/responsiveness on the touch screen.
I had a look on Otterbox too (www.otterbox.co.uk) but there's nothing for this phone, it is quite a standard form factor though and is similar to the LG phones, namely the G4 (which has 2 Otterbox cases), I think the dimensions and button placement are very similar, has anyone tried a G4 case on this phone or another similar case?
