Looking for 100% clear cases for the phone - Xperia Z1 Accessories

Oh, in the UK.
Anyone found any without any patterns/frosting/colours which were quite minimalistic like the following:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/FoneM8®-Inc...d=1380384371&sr=8-1&keywords=htc+one+gel+case (HTC One)
I think there is one which is plastic, but I hate those in that they can scratch the phone when putting it on/off.

do you mean that? ebay.com/itm/Imak-Slim-Transparent-Crystal-Clear-Hard-Case-Shell-Sony-Xperia-Z1-L39H-Honami-/231052240169?pt=DE_Handy_PDA_Taschen_Schutzh%C3%BCllen&hash=item35cbc96529
add w w w to the link, i cannot post links -.-

I ordered a FrostCover Transparent White from Krusell(amazon.de/Krusell-Cover-H%C3%BClle-Xperia-FrostCover/dp/B00EXPO6SA/ref=sr_1_2?s=ce-de&ie=UTF8&qid=1380667017&sr=1-2&keywords=krusell+xperia+z1) and waiting for it, it says it is transparent so hope it will be a good fit in combination with a Fitbag(amazon.de/fitBAG-Schwarz-Handytasche-Textil-Stoff-Microfaserinnenfutter/dp/B005TFHM7K/ref=sr_1_2?s=ce-de&ie=UTF8&qid=1380666673&sr=1-2&keywords=fitbag+xperia+z1)

I got one and I hate it. The fit is not perfect and there is some give and squeak on the left side. There is a cutout beside the camera for no reason whatsoever. There is a cutout on the bottom back for the Xperia logo that is pointless.
The edges are sharp and easily gather dust and skin cells.
I'm waiting for a poetic atmosphere to be released for the Z1 since I loved it on my HTC One.

100% clear case? Even glass (which comes close) has its imperfections, however, I doubt you will find a case that is glass, no such thing you will find!
Neither Perspex, poly-carbonate nor Poly Urethane will give you 100% clarity, your request is unreasonable.

Its 100% clear....are you sure..my friend....????
As this is the first time I am getting to know about such thing which is 100 % clear...well one of my friend use this jelly case for his iPhone...just look at it once and do u feel It is too somewhere around 100 % clear...or how much percent you can give it on behalf of clarity...???

this is what im using. its pretty nice and i can still feel the phone quite a bit.
if you are getting a quality phone whats the point of covering it will thick covers and all you feel is cover.

After using IMAK for a month I got really sick of it. The case has so any scratches you can barely see the phone through. I received Love Mei aluminum bumper yesterday my review is up on YouTube. I really like it so far... even though it does make the phone feel like a square block. I don't think there is a perfect case out there yet. I had Krusell Colorcover before for Xperia Z and the paint comes of and the plastic breaks after a month of normal use. So if I was to choose right now I think the aluminum bumper is the way to go. Then buy a screen protector sticker for the front and back and that should keep you lr phone safe.

Krusell is nice and thin but it wears out very quickly (at least in the case of Colorcover). Do bare in mind that Krusell offers lifetime warranty so once your case breaks you can just send them a proof of purchase and pictures of the broken case and they will send you a replacement. They have sent me 2 brand new cases when my colorcover broke. I put them up for sale though

Ended up getting Terrapin clear soft plastic case £2:99 from Amazon like it. Power button a bit harder to press not too much bulk and nice grip. Goes nice with Glass m screen protector

TERRAPIN : Sony Xperia Z1 TPU Gel Skin Case / Cover
Comes with a ringing recommendation. How's that volume button and access to the magnetic charging ?

Volume seems fine. Hole there for magnet charger access but would need to be a bit longer? Not sure. Would need a good quality one not a cheap one? I cut my cheap one but still not very good.

I had one on my s2. First week it was fantastic..
After that, garbage. The lining portion they provide stretches and causes a gap in between the back of the phone and the lining. Got pretty annoyed with it and threw it away.

They have updated it.
So what's different? In previous versions a silicone cover was used. However, we've updated the series is a new TPU material. This new material is still as soft and dust-resistant, but with added durability and protection. Perhaps the best update on the new Neo Hybrid for the Galaxy S3 is that there is absolutely NO sagging or expanding of the TPU cover due to heat from device.Great news to all Neo Hybrid fans out there!

It ses the harder material sits on the phone, while the softer TPU material is on the outside. Seems like that is scratches just waiting to happen. Now reverse that so that TPU inside, hard shell outside, and add an optional belt clip and I'll take 2!!!

Did you read the website?
The Galaxy S3 Neo Hybrid Case Series will be the same dual concept as the Galaxy S2 and iPhone. The case features a TPU cover with a hard polycarbonate frame. The TPU material protects the phone by absorbing shock from any accidental drops. The hard plastic frame protect the phone from scratches and scuffs. Having both the advantages of a hard and soft case makes the Neo Hybrid an all-around protective solution.

The frame (outside) is PC (hard). The cover, TPU, absorbs the shock.
Your phone wont be getting scratches with this case.
Bummer... the TPU is blue only the border of the hard case is white.
I've never clicked on their blog, and but they have really good stuff. Nano Clear Giveaway?? eek!

Has anyone had this case on the Nexus or other phone? Are they high-quality cases? (They appear to be pretty darn good.)
I like how there still appears to be lots of room around the home button for my fat thumb! Many other cases seem to have a lower lip that protrudes close to the home button...

[Q] Diztronic case and mercury screen protector

I was wondering if anyone tried the combination of the diztronic case and a mercury screen protector. The new mercury SP's doesnt cover the entire front anymore (see picture) and was hoping the rest of the front would be covered by the diztronic case.
I have the SP and matte case diztronic, and it shows a little bit of the S3 front screen when the case is on. its unnoticeable though. I have a blue Galaxy S3 and black case, black SP.

That actually looks really nice. I really like that the screen protector covers the Samsung logo, but hate that it adds the Mercury logo to the front of the phone. I would love to have an all black S3 with no logos but, alas, I've yet to find a way to do that.

try bullkin. I think there's a thread somewhere here with a direct link to buy from china.
the only drawback is that the menu/back key barely lets the light through.
EDIT: since it ships from china, it will take a while, but i have the red one and it covers up nearly everything save a tiny sliver on one or the other side.

do you have a case on the s3 or just the sp? because i really want the diztronic case and trying to figure out which SP would be best to pair with it
I didnt order the bullkin one. I kind of prefer the mercury because its anti glare. lol.
Btw, my phones back cover has a xtremeguard back protector and when its not there, the case wraps much better on the phone and doest show the original screen of the phone

thanks a bunch. That was the one I was looking for (but in red) I know ebay has some for sale and I remembered someone here said they're buying one so i'm waiting to hear their response in regards to "lift" for the bumper.
the only thing that bothers me about that case is that it's a cutout of the buttons rather than a cover.. but that's why i'm thinking of taking apart my other case to modify to do so. I'll see if I can post results if it's successful.

this one is red.... im thinking about try it because i have the same one but the slider version and not the screw.
Let me know if it works well with the bullkin SP.
also i like the cutouts.... cases with a cover over the buttons tend to be too sensitive or impossible to press the buttons
sounds good. when i get to modding mine. i'll post a review of some sort.
oh god. that case, i have a black one of that. One of the screws goes through the hole, but this is because of the case being defective. But the piece where the screw rests, gets. The case looks good though, but the buttons are too deep in the case. You wont be able to press them with ease. Maybe when youre done modding ill try the case again.

I'll report back with pictures and a summary of what I did. I'm just waiting to hear back from the other member who was buying from the same seller.
btw, since you said you have that case, when you place the phone on its back, does the camera lens still touch the surface it's laying on or does it give abit of space?

i ordered mine last night, should receive it sometime this week!
is the power button cut out so we can use the IR blaster?
Look for pictures - in short yes the IR is fine.
It does not cover the whole phone. Back and sides. Top has a small notch for headphones trimmed out and bottom is open.
Most of these type of cases will always be that way. I think the POETIC case apparently had this issue.
How do you design a case and knowing all the specs and you forget about the IR ?

Nice case! I'm still hunting down the perfect case; meanwhile I've just ordered a cheap transparent case for about £3.
I'm tempted by the Nilkin, but the fact that it doesn't protect the top and bottom is a bit off-putting.
Something like the double-dip hard case would be great for me, but I'm just not keen on the colours they used.
I rather like the look of the Urban Armor Gear cases though. I just wish they had it in this colour.

The sides of the Nillkin are the smooth rubbery coating like you would find on the back of some of HTC's older phones (ie S710). The back is textured with a pattern, so it isn't the same feeling as the sides. I would say it's definitely less slippery than the phone naked.

i-Blason Candygel Hybrid TPU [Mini-Review]

I got the i-Blason over the weekend and when I came into the office, I had a package waiting for me. It was the case that is kinda confusing to clarify because it's mixed in with other cases on Amazon. To clarify what I wanted, I went straight to the horses mouth and ordered it directly from i-Blason for $7.99USD+shipping.
http://www.i-blason.com/candygel-hybrid-tpu-hard-clear-case-for-google-nexus-5.html
The case, which is tpu is much more malleable/softer than the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. Also the i-Blason is very tpu-ish on it's lip unlike the Spigen UH, where the Spigen is ultra stiff.
When unpackaging the Candygel tpu, I also noticed that the case "looked" smaller than the Spigen UH. And when I was about to put it on, I said to myself, this doesn't look like it's going to fit! LOL. Glad I was wrong.
The case fit like a bodyglove. LOL I mean the case lip is very flexible and forgiving. And keep in mind I have a Spigen screen protector as well so I had to make sure that didn't come up. And thankfully, it did not. :good:
I have been using it and playing with it for a while and I have to say it's a pretty good case! The buttons are there, allbeit, covered, but the buttons now have feedback, compared to the Spigen UH. The volume buttons are also fine as well.
The ONLY fault I can find thus far is that on the bottom of the case has a scuff mark that was most likely done from the molding process, which I can forgive. It doesn't hinder the use of the case, it isn't sharp or uncomfortable because of it. I can even see it, but I know it's there. And I know I'll forget about it on day to day usage. The cut outs on the speaker aren't the best, but it's tpu and again, it isn't horrible, but I can notice it lol. The mic holes are perfectly exposed and just to note, the micro sim tray are covered. The clear back is why I got it. I can sport my dbrand white CF as well, where the other options before were the Spigen UH and Ringke fusion.
For the price, I can recommend this. and plays well with the Spigen screen protector thus far. The TPU makes the phone more form fitting and seems a tad smaller in holding it in my hands.
Anyways, here are some pics...enjoy! Oh and feel free to ask any questions or if you want pics at different angle and stuff like that.
How much bulk does this case add, in terms of height and width and also the thickness of the phone? I've been looking for a slim case to use with my dbrand skin as well, and I've been eyeing this one up.

It's thinner compared to the spigen ultra hybrid if that helps. It's like a tpu case thickness. Meaning not very thick.

its really looking much better than the spigen ultra hybrid....quite impressive one with the look wise....I would say that would be going to be a nice choice to go for.....
Does the clear back attracts fingers smudges and oil? I have a crystal Spigen ultra fit and I hate that about it.

I want to say it's actually a bit better than the Spigen UH when it comes to the fingerprint magnet. But saying that, you have to take into account that I have a WHITE cf. That makes the fingerprints invisible and barely visible. But if you hold it at an angle, I can see some, but not as bad as the Spigen UH.
I just ordered a clone on ebay that looks to be exactly the same for $6 shipped from china. I went with ebay one cause there's no branding on it!!

LOL I don't mind the branding. If it bugged me, I can use goo gone or fingernail polish remover to remove it. But please let us know how that one fares. It should be similar, they all are lol.

Only in black and mediocre feedback for a power seller in my opinion (98.8%), but it's cheaper if you're in need for the black!

What about scratches ? I just got a Tech21 case for my Nexus 5 and only had a few days and I can already see scratches building up. I am going to return it tomorrow. It does have a clear back which is what I was looking for. Thanks

Well you will eventually get scrathes. I have a white backing on my phone so you cannot see them at all. But looking at it without the phone in it, yes you can see scratches.

Cannot recommend the cheap ebay ones. This one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=231116130513
(after being shipped more than a week late) only half fits my Moto G (despite having a cutout, it obscures the power/volume buttons and hence makes operation an utterly frustating exercise)
Good leather case
I got this today, it is good, not great but cheap. But the screen protector does not fit something wrong with the dimensions I used the scissors, or maybe I could not fit properly. It folds at the back. that is nice.:good:

Hi. If you have case even leather with do cover you can use the app hovering controls. It does not work smoothly but simulates what the shell is supposed to do.
A bit annoying is that many times of you keep your hand hovering it will lock your phone disturbing what you are doing.

Ok so got a no questions asked refund. Now which one do I get instead? I want card slots, so the flip shell is out (aside of the rip off price)...

It would be great if you updated on how this goes, is there any estimated delivery date? I have been looking for a case than has separate holes for the camera/flash and have been we waiting for that one to come into stock.

I'll jump in here and say that I've had several Ringke cases and they've all been great. They are one of my favorite case manufacturers, and they're fairly inexpensive.
Edit: just ordered a clear case as well. I was going to get black, but decided I want either the red or blue shell, so the clear case will show it off.
Yes I think they has stock in clear maybe not in the other colors

My ringke slim case came in
Case looks nice doesn't feel or look cheap.
Doesn't add bulk but does make the phone little slippery in the hand
Like how it came with a screen protector and when installed don't add any glare or interfere with the quality of the screen.
And has table lay so if you lay it on the table it won't be touching the screen
And cutoff for the power button and volume button still are easy to press and don't not interfere.
Overall 9/10

Would love to see some pics of the case mate naked tough and otterbox commuter. There must be someone out there with them to take some pics or video.

There is already quite some choices and availability for Moto G cases, but none of those I can find on the Internet cover the two weak points of a phone, especially this one: the side buttons AND the screen.
The Ringke look like they are the most reliable cases, so are some rubber cases that wrap the phone in the bumper with cutouts for the Volume and Power/lock buttons but... it doesn't protect the screen as much as the flip shell does but the flip shell leaves the definitely flimsy buttons unprotected.
Isn't a case that cover both weaknesses common for other older models ?
