im getting the sony smart watch with my preorder for sony xperia s, maybe smart tags in box too if im lucky.
Will be looking for a good case for this. I like leather pouches with pull tabs. Ordered this for my galaxy - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0071QPIV2/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details but it will be going back along with the phone. It seems the dimensions are a little short for the Xperia S
i like the otter box commuter cases, i have a defender one for my HTC Desire HD, but no announcements yet for xperia s one yet from otter box

Anyone else depressed by the fact it has the flappy usb covers and that hdmi is on other side? Trying to think of some way to make a powered dock because i doubt one will be released. a real shame, even the cheaper p and the ion have docks.

This case arrived today, it's really nice. Does anyone think I'd get away with using this on an Xperia S?
Xperia S dimensions - 128 x 64 x 10.6mm
Galaxy Nexus - 135.5 x 67.94 x 8.94mm
Galaxy Nexus is a bit taller/wider, Xperia S is fatter. It means in terms of height the Xperia S will fit in the case, but it may be a bit "loose" on the width. With it being fatter though it may sit more snugly in the case regardless of the smaller width.
I have till the 30th of March to return it to Amazon, I guess I can hold onto it until my Xperia S arrives on the 12th - Although I won't be able to open it anyway (if I want to be able to return).
Looks like there's going to be an official sony hard case:

Haicom is a very good brand, I've had their vent holders for my Xperia Neo and Xperia Arc, and they're simply wonderful. They don't damage your phones, they're very sturdy, it's great! And they are very cheap! Worth a go!
I was slightly wrong and didn't notice the ones I linked were universal ones. It'll take a week or two-three and then we'll see custom-made Haicom ones appearing.

Thanks for that, but like I mentioned I prefer it to be windscreen holder, because I like to use a phone as video recorder as well. I know, I am picky.

Hey rajmistry,
There are a lot of windshield holders out there that will work given the Xperia S has 4.3" display. I have a LUXA2 H5 windshield holder for the Xperia Arc that I am using today. It's a little costly compared to other generic solutions out there, but the aluminum that they use is really nice.

I am looking for a good sport armband to keep my X10 while running. Looking for it, I found a couple of items that seems would fit well : a cheap chinese armband and the Nokia CP-402 ...My only doubt is: would it fit well???
What's your opinion about these items??
Anybody using a sport armband with X10??
If you check by dimensions, there's little room for error
Unless you are looking for a plastic molded holster, then any that fits an iphone will work. I was out looking for cases and whatnot and everyhting that fits the iphone, my x10 fit perfectly. Again unless it was a hard plastic mold type cases which obviously will not fit. WOnt be hard to find one if looking for one that fits an iphone, as there is a million an 1 accessories for the dumb iphone.
using one meant to have around neck but instead of that i tied it on my pants belt loop thing so if i happen to drop my phone it will stop at knee height, has saved my phone twice.

I thought it too. Maybe I was unlucky with the model, but I tried a PURE Arm Band that was made for Iphone and it was ABSOLUTELY impossible to fit the X10 in it! The aperture was just too little...
In any case I think I'll look for an Iphone Armband and hope that it fits well!
Thank you all!
I am looking for one too. Since the Pure didn't fit, I am quite anxious to buy one online. So a proven armband would be nice
Today arrived the Sport Armband I ordered from China trough Ebay (
Look for Gym Sport ArmBand Case Holder for Apple iPhone 3G 3GS).
The building quality is poor,but the materials seems, on the opposite, to be quite good. The X10 perfectly fits inside the pouch and,despite the top is open,I don't risk to loose my phone.
What more? It costed me only 2.99 bucks!

yes and you can close it at the top
Exactly!
As you saw it seems there are several versions of the same item, with few differences, sold by several sellers. The whole building quality is middle-low but I never had problems using it.
I preferred to buy the open one, since I was not sure it would fit with the closed top. Anyway, despite being open on the top, it is so tight that the X10 will never slip up!
I found some on ebay. Out of the few the list, there is one made by Motorola, and it's rated "Top-rated Seller."

Hi. I got it today. Here is a picture (sorry about the flash backfire).
It doesnt close at the top, but it doesn't have to: It fits fine, so I can hold it up-side-down and shake it. It doesn't fall out.
Also, there is a small pocket on the side where you can put away any extra headphone-cable. This was a nice feature. The quality looks overall OK.
Here is the not-so-OK-part: The plastic in front is stiff and lumpy, so the touch is kinda "so-so". Maybe this will get better after some use (maybe the plastic even out), but if you're planing on using the touchscreen alot while it's inside the case, this isn't the case for you.
I'm just gonna use it for music playback while jogging, so for me it's perfect! (7/10)
this is what i've been using. it's a tight fit but the material is stretchy and is able to fit the x10 securely. i bought it last summer for about $10-$15. it doesn't feature a headphone out opening but i use my mw600 bluetooth headphones so i don't need one. it has grip pads on the inside (not shown) to prevent it from sliding down your arm and an adjustable strap.
Hi.
In thinking about buying one of the gel skins off eBay USA. I've just got the tablet and I'm finding it a bit plasticky and hollow sounding. I'm thinking that a skin might deaden the sound a bit.
Can anyone vouch for the quality of them?

Looks good and US $11.99 is not a bad price. Amazon.com has the same item labeled "by Sony" in black (ASIN: B007BXZI2O) and purple (ASIN: B007BXZYPA) for US $7.99 with free Amazon Prime Membership 2-day shipping. Non-Prime standard 3-day shipping is probably US $2.99, but I'm guessing the cost.
Hi Cat.
I'll be shipping to the UK so I need to factor in shipping. The Amazon one just looks like the same one off ebay - it doesn't look Sony branded.
For some bizarre reason I can't find them in the UK at all. Very strange.
They are both roughly the same price so I'll just choose either.
Thanks.

I ordered one from Amazon.com and will receive it tomorrow evening. After I install it on the tablet, I will post here to let you know whether or not the skin covers the IR sensor.
Edit: I received and installed the skin. Fits well. None of the tablet's features (power plug, buttons, speakers, etc.) are blocked. And yes, there is a hole for the IR sensor.
Hi Cat.
Please tell me what you think of the skin as I'm close to ordering one myself. Please tell me if its a tight fit (a must) and whether you think that it makes the tablet feel too think.
I really want one to make the tablet feel more solid in the hand. As much as I love Google and hate Apple I really miss the build quality of my old iPad 1. I also think HC is an abomination of an OS - What were Google thinking!!
Look forward to your report and pics would be nice if possible

I purchased a black skin (ASIN: B007BXZI2O) from Amazon.com, so go to their web site to see photographs. I like the skin. Its color is a perfect dark charcoal. It fits very well and tighly hugs the tablet's form. When I am handling the tablet, the skin does not feel like it is going to fall off and the back part does not feel floppy. It has a good industrial rubber feel and it makes the tablet feel more solid and protected, which is a plus for me because I am an industrial controls engineer and I frequently use my tablet in the field. The skin has openings in all the right places and does not block any of the tablet's features. I feel purchasing the skin was a wise choice.
Thanks for the update.
Looks like I will be purchasing one ASAP
I've just tried to purchase it off Amazon but they don't ship to the UK.
I'll have to purchase the one off ebay. It looks the same but you never know until you get it.
Just bought the one off ebay. Probably take about 2 weeks to get here. It was just over £11 with the exchange being as it is so can't grumble at the price.
Cheers.
Looks great, might look into something like this.

Yes, I have a cradle and no, the tablet will not fit into the cradle if the skin is on it. But the skin is easy to remove and put back on (I do it carefully, taking my time), so it is not a problem for me.
Hi all.
I got the skin in the post the other day. I'm not too impressed with it TBH. It is not the snuggest of fits - its a bit loose.
I don't think I'll use it TBH. I'm getting used the plastic nature of the Tablet S.
Cheers.

I purchased a Black Silicone Skin from Amazon.com six weeks ago and so far it's held up nicely. I remove the skin nightly so I can put my tablet in its cradle and put the skin back on every morning, and today it still fits as snug as it did the first time I put it on my tablet.

I'm sorry, with work and school I'm finding it hard to make time for other things. It is quite easy though.
Once you get the Sony SPA-ACX1/B QX Case for the Sony Xperia Z1 do the following:
Cut the sides off with an X-Acto knife. You won't need to cut flush with the back of the case but come close as possible.
Use a manicure sanding file (that's what I used) to sand the remaining plastic flush with the back of the case (The manicure sanding file easily scrapes off the plastic).
Sand the back side of the QX case (I don't think this is really necessary though).
Before you stick the QX case to the XZU case make sure to attach your XZU case to the phone (This will help to get a perfect alignment with the camera hole).
Lay your phone w/case on a flat surface (display facing down of course).
Now lightly spread epoxy (for plastic) all over the back side. Make sure that none of it will seep through when you stick it to your XZU case, and don't spread the epoxy to edges).
Once the epoxy is on, use your phone's camera lens as a starting point for aligning the QX case to your XZU case and set the QX case on top of the XZU case.
Quickly adjust alignment before the epoxy sets in. A ruler should help if you can't do it by eye.
It's important to note that the alignment stage is critical because once that epoxy is set you won't be able to make many adjustments. And when you are applying the epoxy to the back of the QX case, try to do it as fast as you can (No need to rush but don't take your time).

Hello all!
So, if the winter storms allow it, on Thursday I will have my Xperia Ultra to replace my beloved Note 2. Shame on you Samsung for the "amazing" .18" display size increase of Note 3!
Anyways, as always I like to have my phone ready with some accessories.
I am still a bit confused about this whole magnetic charger thingy so please provide any feedback, recommendations etc or something I might be missing as well! :good:
For first...a basic cheap case for normal use..unless I change my mind and get something with a flip.
Cheapo case
Or maybe this one too for now as a battery and more protective case:
Case and 5000mAh battery
Car mount:
Mount
Finally for now this one confuses me: the dock/charger thing:
Are either of this the same and do I need something else besides the doc...? Like I have read about a magnetic cable too.
Doc1
Doc2
I am still wanting a stylus but I would like some sort of case with a thin stylus that I can hide into the case...yes, I am used to my note spen
And also I was planning to get my usual Zagg screen protector but not sore sure if anyone has tried it since a search for Zagg showed no results.
Thanks for any help!
dealxtreme
I have deleted my long list of Xperia Z Ultra accessories found of dx.com/dealxtreme.com because they are utterly useless.
I ordered five things and ensured that they were not marked out of stock. A week later they sent me an email saying they couldn't send because something was out of stock. It proved impossible to respond to them: email bounced, phone numbers didn't work or were never answered, website chat didn't work. Their online ticketing system didn't allow creating a ticket to discuss order, you had to enter a SKU code and I didn't know which item was in doubt. Eventually I stumbled on a ticket type I could create (problem with paying) so I sent them a message and they admitted there were three items of the five they couldn't get! They asked for more time, after five days I told them to cancel the order with a full refund.
So, stay away from DX.com / dealxtreme.com as they are clearly utterly utterly useless.

How slow? The original DK30 uses around 2 hours to charge from 0-100%.
I see that Brando also have a bunch of X Z U accessories:
http://mobile.brando.com/shop/Sony-Xperia-Z-Ultra
they're more expensive than DX, but Brando in my experience are usually good quality and offer good customer service.
I've still not seen a car dock that I want to buy, I want one that will hold my XZU whilst its in its case, and attach to the windscreen. So far universal tablet holders designed for smaller tablets have looked like the best option.

I see that Brando also have a bunch of X Z U accessories:

Regarding car dock, I got one from infiniapps, really like the design and you can use it with a case, works better with a thin case. I would recommend the tablet version and then buy 2 of the phone metal inserts.

Hello all!
So, if the winter storms allow it, on Thursday I will have my Xperia Ultra to replace my beloved Note 2. Shame on you Samsung for the "amazing" .18" display size increase of Note 3!
Thanks for any help!

I bought this windscreen mount. Works really well as was designed specifically for the Ultra
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=360722447342&view=all&tid=441532569023
I'd stick with the DK30 dock. The maglock cable i used from DX.com wrecked my ultra. (after plugging in the magdock cable it started playing up. charging and discharging irregularly. Had to have a full mainboard replacement.) So its been 6 weeks and my ultra is finally being sent back to me after a major repair.
Link not working, can you try again?
I edited my first post and removed all links to DX website and replaced the posting to say people should avoid them

Good call, ordered some stuff for my Z1 while some month ago. Got a mail saying everything was shipped however the tracking number went nowhere. Waited some month, nothing and tracking number still a dud. Have emailed them several times with no response. I will never order there again. Is Brando more reliable?

|'ve bought things a few times from Brando and not been let down but not for a couple of years as it's often easiest to buy off ebay. I've not heard bad things about them, so I would be happy to buy off them.

Another vote for Brando. Efficient and reliable.

Anyways, as always I like to have my phone ready with some accessories.
I am still a bit confused about this whole magnetic charger thingy so please provide any feedback, recommendations etc or something I might be missing as well! :good:
For first...a basic cheap case for normal use..unless I change my mind and get something with a flip.
Cheapo case
Or maybe this one too for now as a battery and more protective case:
Case and 5000mAh battery
Car mount:
Mount
Finally for now this one confuses me: the dock/charger thing:
Are either of this the same and do I need something else besides the doc...? Like I have read about a magnetic cable too.
Doc1
Doc2
I am still wanting a stylus but I would like some sort of case with a thin stylus that I can hide into the case...yes, I am used to my note spen
And also I was planning to get my usual Zagg screen protector but not sore sure if anyone has tried it since a search for Zagg showed no results.
Thanks for any help!

Hello shaolin. Just wondered what your current accessories list is. I remember seeing you found a smart watch? I'm looking for something similar to smart watch 2 just wondered what you had. And in the way of charging and protection of phone. Thanks mate.

Hello!
I have been using the ZGPAX S5 watch. It is very powerful, not sure if you have seen some of the videos I uploaded but it runs emulators like MAME, Dreamcast and can even use the PS3 controller
BUT, the company that built it is as good it if did not exist because forget about any support from them.
So if no dev picks it up, you are not going to get much from it.
It is more of a Standalone watch than a companion to your phone. Currently only using an app called TableTak is how you can get text messages and reply from the watch.
For charging I bought the original DK30 magnetic charger. Expensive but well worth it.
As for protection, I bought some "explosion proof" glass protector for the front and a regular film protector for the rear and just some cheap plastic case from ebay just for when I am carrying it around. At home etc I just like the feeling of it naked so no cases there
Also about the watch, I returned it as the GPS was not working and right now I am undecided between buying it again or waiting for one to have ALL the features without having to fight to get things working.

I did see the videos yes did look pretty good. Apart from using a very small screen lol. I take it you use emulators on your xzu though. I think my best bet is getting a smart watch 2 at some point then. Do you actually use the dk30 dock or you taken the cable out? I can't see myself getting 1 as I always have a flip case on the phone as too worried about the phone. And wouldn't want to keep taking it out of case etc. I would like to find a genuine Sony magnetic charger though. If I do keep my xzu I would like to get some good accessories. But at present my xzu is in repair. So I have been debating about getting a HTC one max. Just not sure. I do want a good power flip case though would like the cp12. And like the look of the sbh52. that screen protector is it a glass protector and if so where did you get it from? What apps do you currently have on phone any useful/interesting ones?

I used the DK30 all the time. I prefer the phone without a case...only phone that I actually have done this with..it just feels to awesome to hold.
That is the reason I added the glass in front and film on the back though.
This is what I got Glass Protector
As for apps, gosh I got too much stuff to name
From lots emulators to music apps like for tuning my violin.
Folder Mount which I used to same big game data to the external card is a must for me.

hahaha I have a youtube channel of tons of covers (singing) and some piano but for violin.....give me 20 or 30 more years plese :laugh:
I've had my Z Ultra for some time now and I'm thinking of getting a magetic charger. I did get a cheap one some time ago which wasn't embedded in a stand but just sat directly on the contacts on the side of the phone. Unfortunately it would fall off at the slightest movement. I've recently spotted chargers with stronger magnets which are a lot more robust for the Sony Zs but couldn't find one for the ZU. Does anyone know where I might be able to find one for the ZU without having to use the dock and with a decent charge rate.
Cheers
I think all of them are cross compatible across all Xperia phones, I have bought one of them from AliExpress and it was originally meant for Xperia Z2 but it fits my ZU perfectly. Just yeah, don't buy the cheapest ones, it should cost about 6-9 dollars, the best ones are these with the charging indicator led, they have really nice magnets. I will add a link tomorrow.
Regards
Yes I was wondering that. A link would be appreciated, thanks

Amazon (UK or USA) I've found to be really good and I'd agree the LED one's espec with the metal connectors are the best one's as they also tell you the right way to connect them
So you think any of these would do the ZU?
Magnector X
Magnector X-202
New Magnector X2
Cheers
