Seeking Gaming accessories

Specificly something that could give you the capabilities of the xperia play for any android phone. Like gametel But with analogue sticks and in a case. Does such a thing exist?
Thanks for the feedback guys and gals

Bluetooth Keyboard Video Review

Hey guys, I have appreciated the video reviews posted here so I thought I would do one myself. This video review is for the New Trent Bluetooth Keyboard with touch pad. Here is a link to the video review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tym3BoEhQwc&feature=youtube_gdata_player
And here is a link to the product on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-Mul...36&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=new+trent+ishuffle
My full written review is there as well. In short, its the best wireless keyboard I have used. Definitely worth the asking price of $55.
This is my first YouTube video, so there is much room for improvement. I plan on continuing to review various android hardware and accessories should you wish to subscribe. Let me know if you have ideas!

Thanks for the review! I really want this keyboard. Says unavailable though

Yeah, it just went unavailable last night. I guess too many people bought it at once after watching my review

I have this one and it works great.

I use that one for my entertainment system, don't you find it hard to actually type quickly on it?

Yeah at time, i mostly use it for a multimedia remote when i have have the tablet hooked to the tv.

This would be too small for my needs. I am a student. Still really want that top keyboard. Still not in stock.... love the touch pad functionality. Crossing my fingers I can get my hands on it soon.

Good to hear!

Poor ZL is the bastard child

Search eBay or Craigslist for Xperia Zs and you will find many going for $400-$500, search for ZLs and you can find them in the low $300s and even lower!
Today I bought a black C6506 off a guy in San Diego for $260. He said he paid $550, but was complaining the cell phone exchange services would only give him $150. It's not in immaculate condition, but it is unlocked and has an unlockable bootloader. I could have easily brought him down to $240, but considering I paid the same (plus tax which made it $600) I felt it was a good value.
His loss. This will be for a friend.

At $260 he got ripped off... I've gotten ~$450 offers easily... Craigslist is never a good place to sell if you want a decent return though.

It is if you are selling something people know. No one knows the ZL so no one made him good offers I will make sure it goes to a good home. You will probably not sell it as high as on eBay, but you won't have to pay eBay/Paypal fees, so a lot of the times Craigslist is better.

I still like the ZL over the Z coz of its looks. Only if the ZL had a glass back it wud look premium but I have no complaints against it. This device being so rare in the market, ppl get confused as to which device is this. Makes u feel special
Sent from my C6506 using xda premium

I paid $535 for the ZL in Amazon last month and look at the price now, you can buy a Z for $520. While the iPhone keep in a good value for more time, Android phones suffer low value in the market after few months.

I love the ZL for its rarity. And market value doesn't bother me at all since I always sell my phones to friends and family for half the price I bought them for.

I have both Z and ZL. Prefer the ZL - the Z is too awkward in terms of size and flaps. And the ZL has a better display (very noticeable and corroborated by GSMArena) and a couple of neat extras (IR and Camera button).
Everything else is identical, functionally.
Both were well under £400 from Amazon - new, unlocked etc.)

I don't understand why it's not popular..
When I see people talking about Honami saying "I wish it had smaller bezels" i think of ZL.
I think ZL looks better than Honami....

It's not because ZL suck or what. Simply, Sony markets the Z as the flagship and doesn't sell the ZL everywhere compared to the Z.

It should be the other way, the ZL is more cheaper than the Z, which mean the ZL have more market penetration for the price.

The Z doesn't have a camera button?? I thought it did. The Z never appealed to me because of the flaps. I really don't my phone to be waterproof. The Z got picked up by more carriers than the ZL, so that has helped make the Z more known than the ZL.

No it doesn't - as I said.

My statement was meant to be a surprise, not disbelief

The Z is branded by carriers and is sold subsidized. The ZL is not. In places like the US most people buy their phones subsidized (not to mention carriers do marketing) so the ZL has no chance of matching the same popularity.

Here in Brazil, we didn't received the Z version. Sony explore the market here only with ZQ (a.k.a ZL C6503).
So we have carrier subsidiary prices. I've got mine for 900 BRL, something like 450 USD, while the full price was 2000 BRL, something like 1000 USD.
I know, prices here are awful.

I don't know. It's odd because they sell it on their online store, and I've seen it at their Sony Style stores as well. Again, someone fell asleep at the wheel and forgot about it. I'm sure they will still support it.

I´m thinking about wipe the original screen protector and install invisibleshield. The original protector just sucks because it is magnet for scratches...

Yea I just want to have an extra one because I want to take mine off and have just the glass-m screen protector. One less layer between me and the screen.

I've ordered one to have a look at. I'll let you know what it's like when it eventually arrives. Ordered a bunch of other accessories too including the magnetic charging cable, .3mm thin case and one of the metal bumpers (it's all so cheap) I'll try to review them once I get them.

Of curse but from China is everything possible.

sell for all the world?

http://www.witrigs.com/oem-front-screen-anti-shatter-film-for-sony-xperia-z1
It does have the sony logo so if this is what anyone wants this is the place to get it. I have a feeling these will be harder to install than regular ones since it has an adhesive. I order a 3m vikuiti i believe it was called and it has adhesive on it and man it was hard to install. So for the guy who ordered it please keep us posted once you receive it.

Too much phone releases....

I don't understand the reason for this release... The Z2 is better in every way unless the price is cheaper.

they are claiming it to be worlds slimmest smart phone , its not a flagship as it has 8mp rear camera
the question is GIonee is the current slimmest phone in the market with 5.5 MM , how slim can this go ?

This is 7mm thin. Not the slimmest smartphone but only the slimmest 5.3" smartphone. This was the same device that was teased yesterday by Sony Mobile Twitter.

This is their mid-range phone. It is not meant to be a competitor to their Z2. The Z2 is still their flagship phone.

Is T3 the successor to SP or C

Most likely SP.
T3 seems like a high mid end devices. While C is a low end big screen device.
Anyway why there's isn't any T2 ultra forums? I have one of those

Nope,T3 won't be the successor of the SP because SP has the illumination bar,the successor of Xperia S is SP
So till now,no any successor of SP yet...
XDA Developer didn't make a dedicated forum for T2 Ultra yet.
