**** Sony Xperia Z3 ****

[York]

What is the best case for this phone? Ideally I don't want a flap on the front.

I've been using the Case Mate Tough (http://www.case-mate.com/Sony-Xperia-Z3-Cases/Case-Mate-Sony-Xperia-Z3-Tough-Cases.asp) since the Z3 came out and I've found it a great case.

Protects the phone (I've dropped it several times onto hard floors without issue) without being too bulky, and also has a cut out to allow you to use the magnetic dock without having to take the case off (one of my original requirements).

Thank you, got it and it is perfect.

Get a tempered glass screen protector too if you haven't already.

Any recommendations?

Just try a cheap Chinese one off eBay - they all come from there anyway, just branded.

Mine is still scratch free and it's been above and below the waters

Same with your Note 3 right?

I got the ultimate shield one, my phone has to survive some abuse due to work but this screen protector hasn't even scratched yet. It's really easy to put on and has curved edges.

Note 3 never went below waters but yes the glass remained scratch free^

I was talking about the impressive dent you made in it.

Are you talking about the right phone?!

Now you've got me wondering...

There was one phone you made a nice scuff in the bezel and you were wondering how in the hell it happened.

+1 I've got the Ultimate Shield and it's splendid. Does the job nicely and hasn't had one scratch in over a month.

Probably the Note 2.

I got a £4.50 one delivered today from eBay and it's excellent on the OnePlus One

Good move Mate. Ultimate shield's are great if I could I'd install it on all my devices.

Would anyone mind posting their preferred settings for the camera's manual mode? I'm finding the quality in auto a bit poor.

Oh I didn't get one of them, rather a generic glass screen protector.

Works well for me!

Tempered glass FTW. Not had a single issue installing one and I have it on all my families devices.

Are there any decent Z3 handset deals going at the moment?

 

[omnomnom]

Hi....so i have an excellent deal coming for a Z2, unlimited everything and 2gb of super fast (EE :| ) data for £23. Worth it ? Z3 seems like its a lot more oney for not a lot more phone ??

Am digging the name change...much more dramatic

Totes! Much better than the normal plastic screen protectors which seem to pick up a lot of greasy streaks and scratches.

Am still loving the Z3 - I've had a go on a fair few phones in 2014 and this stands head and shoulders above them all. It's the best all rounder phone available until the next bunch of phones are released in 2015.

Battery life on the Z3 is impressive as is the bright screen. The only thing I don't really like about the phone is that it is still a little tall and I hope that Sony change the design a little for the up coming Z4.

I just bought a Case Mate Tough for the phone to replace my Case Mate barely there and I like that it feels grippy in the hand and gives adequate protection.
