Hi! I'm using a white non-LTE Xperia Z Ultra. Today I happened to mess up the aluminium frame when I was sitting in the chair playing game on my PC. My Xperia Z Ultra slipped out of my pocket and hit the floor! It managed to scratch/peel off the paint on the aluminium frame at the edge. How do I fix this? Please help!
Buy a new phone?

No.. I'm not going to disassemble my phone 'cause I think it'll not be waterproof again. Just like my Z.

if you are really bothered with the paint going off you can go to a local store and have them match the colour. Sand down the surface, clean, mask of the other areas and paint

I'm pretty sure I've read about the full frame made of aluminium. But then I read that the aluminium is covered with paint (I guess to have the same colour on every single device).

The top and bottom is a plastic otherwise there would be issues with the antennas getting shielded off. The sides seems to be powdercoated while the top and bottom perhaps is laminated as you do when you print labels on to plastic boxes. Melting a piece of plastic onto the surface.

You know what? You're actually right.
I went to check the infographic that Sony published a while ago (

and confirmed that only the sides are made of aluminium.

Well, the graphic isn't indeed that clear...
It says "side panels", not specifying which sides... it may refer to every side, since top and bottom are sides too...
Extract from an early interview on Z Ultra design:
So I guess they say "sides" and actually mean "ALL sides", which makes sense, as with the word "sides", if not specified, you 99% mean all of them...
So it may be all aluminium and all covered with paint...

When looking at the front speaker, you see the holes the sound comes out of.
On every photo of the phone I have seen, there is an unbroken line of holes, but on my S3, I have 3 holes on the right followed by a gap, and then 13 more holes.
How is yours?

Yay! Mine's blue too. OK, not unique then, just "special"
I bought mine off Amazon UK direct.
The biggest problem for me in Xperia Z was "constant" dirty phone with a "full body" of fingerprints. That was a biggest minus for me on Xperia Z. And the most difficult part there was a cleaning process. Had to constantly wash it under the water.
Thinking about that, what the whole issue is a "protective film" I have decided to took it away. The problem was increased.
I hurry please you all, Xperia Z Ultra brought this problem to a minimum.
The display is much better resists fingerprints. I want to draw attention to the fact that front glass resists fingerprints far better than the back side.
My scale points is:
Xperia Z- 2/10.
Xperia Z Ultra- 8/10.
And the most good fact that you can "easily" removed them now with out any effort. (Example like on Galaxy S 4)
Regards.
Fingerprint issue?
No more problem now.
Take the device go to shower and keep clean.
Device get Hot?
No more problem now.
Take the device go to shower and stay cold.
This is why Sony xperia waterproof & dustproof but not bullet proof.

So I've been looking around for an aluminum protective case for my note 3 since it came home. As most of you have heard from others, the full aluminum cases despite the protection, suffer from drastic signal loss. I figured I couldn't go wrong with an aluminum bumper and bought two awesome looking bumpers off ebay. One is a gorgeous solid aluminum bumper with no hole for mic but really nicely made and a thin aluminum bumper with all openings. The biggest drawback of both of these bumpers is that there is no camera protection. As all of you have noticed the rear camera is raised a bit, which makes these bumpers a no go if your laying it down on rear. I saw a full protective case on Ebay that was composed of three pieces : aluminum frame, silicone style case and aluminum rear with a cutout. I went ahead and ordered for a measly $14 and some change, thinking it wouldn't be a big loss. My package arrived today from Hong Kong and I couldn't be happier. I absolutely love it. It is the exact look and feel I wanted. For those who want a nice solid aluminum case with no signal loss I recommend you get one. I hardly write stuff on here but I felt compelled to share my experience.
Here's the link to ebay ad.
Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=111207009785
Nice find but not my cup of tea. I'm sure though than many would love this case.

Does it work with the s charging cover? If so, no need to worry about camera lens as the back sticks out further than lens.

I would think nfc/wireless charging. A bit too industrial looking for me, but it all depends on the eye of the beholder. Definitely unique though.

I'm pretty sure its for NFC as well. Plus it helps with reception as opposed to solid rear cases with affect reception. Personally I'd like to see someone step it up and make some premium CNC cut luxury cases lime they make for iphones with nicely made cut outs in rear. I reached out to three of those companies today , like MeeJoJo and 2 of them said only iphones and s4 's.
These are just some cnc cases for iphone 5s that I'd like to see for our phones.
I think that case is ugly and weird looking. I think it makes the phone look like a plain block of metal. Maybe it would look better if it was black anodized aluminum.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Had something similar for my previous Note 2. These metal cases tend to cause the phone signal to degrade. Hope you guys won't experience that problem.

I agree. It's about the ugliest case I've ever seen in my entire life.
I'm a fan of metal cases. I think you may have found the ugliest one of them all.
But if you like it, then good. That's all that matters.

Hello, I recent brought his bumper on eBay, and I got to say, I love it very much, it adds no bulk to the phone and feels like its part of the phone instead of it as a case.
It's really slim and it protects the bezel. It lifts high enough to be able to put it face down, but the camera will touch if you put it down normally.
Also, keep in mind that the bumper uses a screw.
I had it for about a week, and have not notice any notable signal lost, but that's just me.
I got the case for 7.99, but it might be different depending on the eBay seller.
Here are the pictures of the black one, but if you guys like, I can also upload pictures of the red and silver one.
Sorry for the horrible quality, they were taken with my Nexus 7.
Could you post the silver and link where they were purchased. Thank you.

I had this case cuz I bought it from a local store. I gave up on it after two days because it is so easy to pry apart when screwed on. It makes my OCD scream because it doesn't feel like it's on there, and dust can easily get into the pried crevice.
