Krusell kiruna case review - Xperia Z1 Accessories

After deliberating for a little while on what case to get I decided on the Krusell Kiruna one.
I wanted a case that had access to all the ports and the magnetic charging point but also had magnetic closing as well. This case has all of that with only the sim slot blocked off.
The case is made of a high quality leather and feels pretty good certainly makes it less slippy!
Overall pretty impressed with it.
I got it from Amazon for a bit over £20 and had free prime shipping so all good

Hi!
I have this Krusell Kiruna case, and it's a great case!
No doubt about it! But I have an issue that I wonder if anyone else have the same.
Every now and then the screen stops responding correctly. It presses wrong letters when writing sms, and difficult to access the things I want. The screen starts flickering and switch screens and stuffs. When I slide the phone out of the case, the problem is gone. Anyone else recognizing this issue? Is the screen somehow disturbed by the case? And is there a way to solve it??
Best regards

a bumper would be nice why buy a premium built quality phone then hide it in ugly case ! man thats too ugly am sorry to say that !

Nice! How does it feel in hand?

feels nice and it has a lot more grip to it.
Does it collect a lot of dust?

Why would it collect dust ? never herd of any cases that collect.
The only problem with these type cases is the clear ones tend to turn yellow in a few months, the colored ones don't
now they have 7 cases, for only 17.99 great deal

Thank you Siberslug!
Just bought myself a case after seeing your thread. Thanks for posting!
My Vibrant gets here tomorrow, I'm even more excited now!
Welcome! The edges are more sturdy than the t-mobile case is, but the center is still flimsy.
It is also not nearly as sticky as the t-mobile case, which is a GOOD thing to me. It still has a grip to it, but it isn't so difficult to stick in my pocket (or pull back out)
I just received mine today...
This is the one I bought:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Gel-Case-...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d2a05dbdb
I was worried that it would be a loose fit but it fits very snugly on to the phone. You have to try very hard to pry it off, which is good!
It's more plastic like than it is a gel like material but it feels very nice in your hands. The feel of it will get smoother after a few days of use once all the oils from my skin get onto it.
I ordered it on 7/19 and received it today on 7/26 and paid $2.98 for everything!
Just buy it in TMO + the screen protector. Pfft. I spent 600 on the phone. another 40 bucks for a case + screen protector. is nothng.

Cheap eBay bnumper cases, I got one, quick review with pics

The cheap eBay Bumper case I posted about on another board arrived today and it looks quite good until you pick it up and notice how thin and light it is which kind of goes hand in hand with it's massively small £3 price. It does the job fine on a S2 with the stock battery though but with extended battery the lip surrounding the front bezel is less pronounced.
It is not great with the Zenis dock either as it doesn't sit flush whereas the Zenis one does. I was expecting it to fit fine but the bottom is not sitting nicely like the Walnutt bumper does.
So far I think the Walnutt case looks the best and also feels like it's worth some ££ too. I especially like the lip bearing the Walnutt brand name on the back, it kind of completes an otherwise baron backside, something that the SGP NeoHybrid EX bumper lacks although I'm sure the SGP feels every bit as good and expensive as the Walnutt ones.
Considering the Walnutt bumper is thicker than the cheap eBay one I was surprised it was exactly the same thickness when put on the phone, I put it on my dad's S2 with stock battery to compare in the pics below.

Wow 10 pounds for shipping to Spain! What a RIP OFF. I'll write the seller and see what he says. I doubt though that he'll change the price. I've had books and computer parts delivered for less!

Looks like a good option, though it looks like you could get it for $5-$7 less, for example: http://www.amazon.com/Holster-Samsu...2&sr=1-2&keywords=galaxy+s3+holster+kickstand
Nillkin Case
I really like the concept. I especially wanted something like this on the Samsung Galaxy Note, as it was rather big and hard to handle with one hand. Always feeling that you could drop it while trying to stretch your fingers over to reach and loosen your grip on the phone.

Got mine yesterday and I like it. Great case for $6.99 shipped. Looks nice, decent protection, and the kick stand works well. The only thing I don't like is that the back gets even hotter while using for an extended amount of time. Seems like the case covers too much and there's no place for the heat to flow.

Does it leave the top and bottom edges exposed? Obviously, it looks open, but does any of the case protrude up?
I have not recieved it as of yet but open on top and bottom might be issue for me might get a TPU

Yes, it leaves it open. I've used my ear piece and my usb cable with no problems.
I bought the case for my GS3 and it works very well. Easy on, easy off.
No problems so far with my Xtremeguard screen protector. And dust in the case hasn't been a problem even though I work construction.
I never knew about the "sure grip" feature that the kickstand doubles as! I will be using that for sure.

Replica Official Bumper case micro-review w/pics

I bought these on ebay for about $10 each. Sorry if the pics aren't the best. There's not a lot to say about them, they fit very well and I don't feel any give or looseness. The plastic quality is pretty good, and look much better in good light. For the money, I'd say they're definitely worth it, no doubt.

I got the red one and like you I was quite impressed. Very nice looking out of the box.
However the feel of the case is very slippery and difficult to hold. Not sure if the original is the same but I just could not get used to it. Went back to a cheap e-bay TPU case again after a few days.
Can you...
....Give me a link to this store. I'll definitely buy one of these. :highfive:
EDIT: to ebay.co.uk
Any experience with the peeling issue? I'm asking everywhere, i would buy this one instantly, but the peeling issue keeps me from that
Thank you for the review
Can you please add a pic with the bumper mounted? I've ordered the yellow one from Hong Kong and I'm waiting for its arrival.

I completely agree. It's pretty slippery, but good looking. I'm just going to use it once in a while when I go out and want a different look. But for most days I'm going to stick to my Ringke Fusion Crystal View case. It has very tacky sides and I never feel likes it's going to slip out of my hands. But like I said, the replica bumper cases do look good. For what I paid, it's adequate.

I also got the grey one but was able to use it only for a few weeks before there was quite bad dis-colouration on the sides/edges and back. Makes it look very dingy.
That along with how slippery it was makes it something I would not recommend.
I'm no expert but these replica cases somehow feel like they are missing some kind of coating or finishing or something.

Hybrid Flip PU Leather Case is fantastic for no more than £3/$4

Bought this case off eBay for £2.78 and have never been happier with a product this cheap. The thing isn't too cheaply made, it's just generic, the appearance however is anything but generic.
You can get these cases in a bunch of styles, I liked this one since it reminded me a bit of Marques Brownlee's color scheme.
The build quality is just standard, but it really can not be perceived as bad. It still has the annoying trait of being less than pleasing to hold in the hand when you bend the front cover back like most leather-esque cases are, except for the higher quality ones (Which don't exist for the OPO to my knowledge). There aren't that many cases for the OPO out there still left in production, so the only ones you can find are that bulky metal one people keep raving about, or others with branding all over the place. This thing is just a mass-produced, average quality, but very aesthetically pleasing case, and I couldn't recommend it more.
Here's some pics of mine as is:

Don't think I've seen anybody really review this case, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see a nice looking case for the OPO that's still available and isn't extortionate.
Looks nice, I am not usually a fan of flip cases. I assume this is the one

Looks like it. I just wanted something stylish so I got it, and for the price of the currently existing decent cases for the OPO I could get 10 of these.

Nope, I hate those things, since it would have to wrap around the side. There's always this and this though.

I'm honestly not a fan of those either, that's always the first part to break. Lol. I'm wanting to know if the phones screens turns on automatically when you open the flip cover. Thanks for the quick response.

I think that is just a stock feature if the case supports it. I don't know of a setting that you can turn off and on for it to work. Oh well that would have been a big selling point on this case for me but thanks for letting me know! Still looks really nice!
