Greetings! I've been a lurker on these forums for a while now. So here's my first post.
Toast makes gorgeous wooden covers that cover all of the phone (other companies just cover the back). They recently made one for the Z3: toastmade.com/products/xperia-z3.html
I Just love the look, how it provides more protection than simple skins, and adds little bulk. So, I sent an email and received this:
"Thank you for your interest in Toasting the Z3 Compact. If there’s demand, we will Toast it. I’ve got you down on the request list, so you’ll be notified of any updates. FYI, we are Toasting the Z3v next week, so hopefully the Compact will follow suit."
I would have expected a Z3c before a Z3V. Anyways, Shoot them an email on their website and be vocal that there is a demand for this. I currently use a Ringke Fusion and a DevilCase, but overtime I started to get annoyed with the added bulk. Let them know! Thanks

Yeah, there is no wood cover out there like this on the market. You can even upload a picture and they will carve in the design on the back....but of course it's for extra money.
You can get wood back covers from Balolo.De, but they're not as nice as these, nor do they come in black. I sent an email to cs, too. I really want one of these now ^.^

Yeah, I've seen those. The big difference with toast are the wooden bumpers. That's what sets it apart from the other ones. It would be a missed opportunity for them if they don't make one for the Z3 compact. Anyways, thanks for sending an email and I hope others do as well!

I already have an aluminum bumper from Devilcase, so it's less of a difference to me, but I see your point.
I got a response btw:
Thank you for your interest in Toasting the Z3 Compact. *We’re working on getting one in here for design, so if you happen to be in the States and wouldn’t mind parting with yours for a week, we’ll get you hooked up with some free Toast!
I’ll let you know as soon as they’re available.
Thanks for your patience, and hopefully you’ll hear back from me soon!

I got a similar email from them as well! They said that request list for the Z3c has blown up this past week...just need a model for designing I'm also using a DevilCase, but I'm not feeling the added thickness around the bezel anymore.

No, I don't work for them. I was reading through here and saw they needed a test phone so I offered to send mine in. I had no clue what to expect but I was very happy with how it turned out, and their customer service rep was great to talk to. I hope they don't mind me teasing on here before it is released!
god theyre so sexy!
Alright, here are a few more. I am not the best photographer, nor am I the best at keeping my hardware in tip top shape. The scratches on the screen have been there for a while.
I absolutely love that the red border shows through. I think this is a feature that Toast has made unique to the Z3 Compact, and I can honestly say that it makes all the difference in the world to me. I bought a red phone because I wanted a unique and colorful phone, this keeps it unique and colorful...but with wood on it. The toast cut out it something I specifically asked for and I am very pleased with the result.

That is damn sexy, and thank you so much for volunteering your Z3C! I can't wait for the official release! Do you mind if I make a thread about you and the Toast on the sonyxperia sub reddit? Also, was that applied on a naked Z3C or was it applied on top of a screen protector?

Go right ahead, and if you could provide a link for me that would be great. The phone was completely naked, no screen protector.

And thanks again for making it possible. This will make a lot of Z3C owners happy since our options are really limited in terms of cases and skins. The Toast Z3C is looking to be a best of both worlds.

Does this provide protection from drops, etc, like a bumper, or is this just a beefed up skin?

It's like a middle ground between a case and a vinyl. Its either real wood veneer or bamboo. The parts are stuck on with some adhesive that leaves no residue.
"We laser cut our covers from real wood veneers and top-grain leather paired with a high quality 3M adhesive that adheres directly to your device. This allows you to add protection, grip and gorgeousness to your gadget while retaining its sleek profile (the average thickness of our covers is .9 mm: that’s 1/32nd of an inch!)."

To each his own.
My last phone broke in a TPU case with, what I thought was, good protection. I watched another guy's phone break in an otterbox, and iPhones bend in a number of cases. I came to the conclusion that the best protection for my devices was a sacrificial glass screen protector, back skin, and either a bumper or bumper skin. My reason for this combo is that the back and sides only really need scratch protection and the front can be cracked even with a case that provides a lip. The Z3C definitely benefits from anything that provides better traction on the back, too.
I know you didn't ask for the explanation, but I thought it would be worth mentioning for anyone who might be curious.

Hi guys,
I am the product designer from a brand new company called TridentCase. We'll have a series of EVO case coming out pretty soon.
I am an avid EVO user myself, I'd love to get opinions on the case and see how everyone here feels about it. Perhaps even for future improvement.
The case comes with 5 different colors and we are planning to have different colored wrap around silicone band for purchase so you could mix and match your own personality.
Our first 2 cases for iPhone4 made it into CNET's top 10 tough cases for iPhone, I am hoping that we'll get similar type of interest and enthusiasm from the EVO community as well.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks!
I like it, although I'm a little hesitant to jump into cases of this protection level because I don't like the bulk.
I do like the style a lot though, kind of reminds me of the sony sports walkmans from back in the day. The color options make this seem like a winner.
If those holes on the back help with heat ventilation then that's a pretty clever idea.
Thats pretty much what Ive been looking for. How hard is it to reach the notification bar?

how much bulk does it add??? i would also like to see a belt clip for this...

The vents are a great idea... but how are they as dust and pocket lint collector?
and more importantly... How much are they going to cost?
agreed on the cost thing. They could be spectacular if they don't cost too much lol.

Thanks. I was a bit concerned with bulk myself, but I've been using the prototype for a few weeks now, I don't really mind the bulk much. I can definitely understand if some people might feel differently though. We'll have more slimmed design in the near future.
Yeah, those are vents for heat. My EVO do get a bit hot once in awhile, these vents are my attempt to help that situation.

With the few weeks that I've been using, I haven't have any dust or lint collected in them. I am not entirely sure how much they will retail, (that's up to sales department) but I think it will somewhere in the ballpark of $29-$39.
These look like a win to me. I assume the screen is open, and not covered like the otterbox defender?
The prototype in the photos are opened, but the final product will have a clear screen, we figure if customers don't like the screen to be covered can easily remove the screen protection, that way at least there's an option.

They look really nice, what type of material is it made out of and how is the texture? Considering I'm using a $5 clear case off of ebay $30-40 seems a little steep for my taste, but if you want to send me a test unit I'd gladly review it for you
ETA? both otterbox defender and ballistic have been "coming soon" for months....

Do you have a website??? how is it going to go for? where will I be able to buy? and if you make a belt clip, will it be compatible with this?
You should make a version with a clear back instead of that color portion. Not too many cases will show off the back. How about a bumper style protection for the evo?

Happy Xooming!
If I'm getting a skin, I'd want it because it's thin. The "gel" skin would just be annoying to me, especially because it would get in the way of fitting cases over it.
I've used skins from gelaskins (gelaskins.com) in the past and I was extremely satisfied. They also offer customized skins but have a lot of designs available from various artists. I'm probably going to be getting a skin type cover and I'll probably be ordering from gelaskins since I've had great experiences with them on my past devices.
Btw. You seem to like final fantasy. A lot.

Indeed I do like Final Fantasy as it is my favorite RPG series of all time, and it has been since the original. So as my favorite series in the whole world, I like to represent. Ya know what I mean? It's really no different than people who obsess over their favorite sports teams. Lol.
And I hear ya about wanting a thin device. The other 2 choices I listed for my examples are thin, adding zero bulk. The gels skins will add some bulk yes because of the gel, but the point of a skin decal is to look good while protecting the device all at the same time. The skins make your devices smudge proof, scratch proof, and nearly damage proof for the average consumer, especially for the gel skins because they are a little thicker and will hold up better.
If you do get a skin, please put it up here for us. Would love to see what kind of design you will cook up for your Xoom.

I haven't put the front on yet, waiting for my screen protector to arrives 1st.
I will look like this picture,same material and pattern (with the screen area cut out). The seller has many designs, i like the dragon one because it's pretty understated.
These are just pics from the gelaskins website (better than anything I'd end up taking), but this is what I got for mine:
I usually have my leather portfolio case on, but it's nice to have a little protection if I ever have it out or if something might possibly scratch it while in the case.
I also got this for my atrix:
Edit: I was just browsing the gelaskins website and it would seem they changed their website set up. They have some art that they have pre-designed the layout for the devices and others allow you to use the artwork in their create your own process. When you select the device, they have some categories off to the side and it starts with the most popular... I just wanted to point out that they have more artwork because I'd hate for someone to miss a design they like more than what shows up in the most popular.

Hah! I like that for the Xoom you got there. Your Atrix is looking pretty sweet as well.
It seems to me that the selection of cases for the Nextbit Robin is pretty poor so far and as far as I know, many known manufacturers are not planning to make cases for this device. Are you planning to buy a case? what case are you going to get?
Update
As far as I can see, so far there is still almost no selection of cases, however there are few screen protectors.
My favorite option so far is the following:
Amazon.com: Anti-Bubble High Definition Clear Shield by Dmax
There is so few options to go with.
Well, we have 3 different options, and different colors for the bumps case. Maybe they're not a lot comparing to other phones/companies, but I think we should just wait till 3rd party companies make more cases for Robin, it's a bit soon to see them out
Yeah, I'm still waiting if anyone have some new cases they noticed please share
Well the phone isn't released yet! And its a startup! So more should arrive soon!

Kind of surprised that there aren't any on Amazon.
I know they aren't cases but the dbrand skins look bloody awesome.
I ordered the scratches case because I really despise cases, but I also really want my Robin to stay in pristine condition. It is very small and clear, so it should do fine for me. As for all the people that want their phone put in a tank, I can see your side of the argument, and in that case, I have to agree that they don't have a very good selection.

I bought this Fosmon case in clear. It's a little tight, so the middle sections of each side pulls outward a little. Cutout for the cloud sync logo on the back seems unnecessary, but most likely put in for the opaque color options. You can lay the phone face down and it won't scratch the screen.
My main gripe with the Robin was that it's very slippery -- even though it was touted as being a non-slippery phone -- but this case fixes that problem.
The imperfect fit makes it hard to wholeheartedly recommend, but it adds the much needed grip to the phone so I'm pleased for the low price I paid for it.

Yeah I got the clear (cause I got the sick Electric model) and this one is also tight I only hope that since it is plastic it will mold to the device in time. like some of the other cases I've had of this material before.

Bad choice I got mine together with my Robin and the Scratches case is really poor quality. Some parts of the plastic especially at the charger end of it, are so thin that they tear apart when case is removed a couple of times.
Hope nexbit will fix this at some stage,but not that disappointed at all as I just love the phone itself
I got some weak, POS pocket case off Amazon that doesn't really fit my phone, but I've little choice but to use it until I can get something better. I'm a little tempted by the Bruises, but the case on Nextbit's website looks different from the one on Amazon, with the one on Nextbit's website looking like it has little strawberry-like dimples that the Amazon one doesn't have on the back Even more confusingly, the Amazon Bruises case has the Nextbit logo, but the Nextbit one doesn't.
Alternatively, I've been considering either Fosmon case or one of the Orzly cases, but I don't want to waste my time and money on another crappy case.
ETA: Here's a link to Amazon's Bruises cases by the way. It looks a bit what I would imagine a Midnight Scratches case would look like.
If anyone wants to sell their Scratches case, I can buy.

Waterproof case
Hey guys!
I can't find any waterproof cases specifically for our phone (only generic flexible cases). Can anyone give me a link to a non-universal case? Thanks in advance. Also people, who have the dbrand bamboo case, can anyone confirm it feels like wood (just wanna know before purchase ) Thanks, and have a great day.
These are brand new and I don't want to be the first to spend $30 bucks to be disappointed. Anyone try these yet and can vouch for their realistic look?

Please take pictures after you're done. Thanks in advance!
Edit:
60% off today only!
Purchased!
Just arrived, here's photos.
I haven't installed it yet but I'm very glad I didn't pay full price for what I see so far. I've used skins before, but this one looks kinda cheap. It's a clever idea but in person, it looks like a sticker or decal and is super glossy and reflective, which eliminates any possibility of a realistic effect. I'll upload more once it's installed though and see if that changes my impression.
Edit:
The first photo is what you can expect if positioned toward a light source. Super reflective!
Thanks for the info and photos. Mine is on the way and ordered during 60% off which is on now by the way too.. Lol.
I'm just wondering if they have matte feel though for good grip or is it slippery.!
Thanks

It's not matte at all. 100% high gloss, like a professionally printed photo.
Damm.!
Anyways please upload photos once installation is done..
Thanks
By popular demand...
Still looks like a sticker, and not very realistic, but I'll put a clear case on it anyway. Maybe that will help.
Got mine this morning. Bit annoyed as they forgot to add back only as that's the one I intended to put on to have better grip from sides of the phone. Installed full skin. Came from dbrand matte skin so this is surely a different feel. Thought it would be slippery but instead it has bit of a grip some how. Looks good in person. Surely shiny and reflects light so not a very realistic look but if someone looks from far away it does look cool... Matte feel and less reflective would have been perfect but it ain't too bad at 60% price.

Yeah, it's very eye catching from a distance, but most people who notice it think it's a case design and not the actual phone internals.

This is the pixel 2 forum, but it probably looks the same.
For anyone who doesn't follow JerryRigEverything, he just made an announcement video for new limited edition skins coming from OnePlus called "Teardown" which show the internals of the phone so you don't need to remove the back but can still have the same effect. They show the OP7Pro too :
You can find them here :
https://dbrand.com/shop/limited-edition/teardown
Limited edition is only available for one week.
Already ordered mine, even though I literally have only had my current skin for a total of less then a week. Looks so cool.
Instabuy. Since I dropped mine last week and the back looks like a spiderweb now this skin will cover up the damage nicely
slickwraps brought back the glow in the dark love it
Do you think that it would looks real if you put a transparent case on it?

It is a flat printed image piece so it will never look real in close up because it lacks the 3D depth of the internal modules.
Also, would never support Dbrand with their grip case selling for 30USD lel
Maybe if they stop throwing tons of money on youtubers over and over again and just start pricing their products right.

Better than the "latercase", a joke at $45, that's just a rebranded crap case from Unbox Therapy
At least dbrand have a reputation and good customer service.

just cannot decide between buying "grip case + teardown skin" or just buying a just a skin and transparent case? what is your recommendation? I don't want to make my phone too bulky. ( a thickness near plastic case included with the phone's box is ok for me)
and please show me a good transparent case for op7 pro. please recommend a good tampered glass if possible
Note: there is small chip on the downside of my phone which the plastic case( which was inside the box) can protect it very well. So I have to keep a case to protect the phone.

My favourite transparent case is the Supcase Unicorn Beetle, it's black surround, transparent back and good side and lip protection.
This looks soooo dope

Yes
Ordered one Wed and still haven't gotten it (Tue now) even though I paid the next day shipping price. Still says the order is "in production". Emailed them yesterday to see what the deal was and still no response yet. Has anyone else had this experience? First time ordering from dbrand.

They weren't going to be produced until the period was done, it's a limited release so they don't just produce a big pile hoping they sell them all, they take all the orders and then produce all the orders made.
