[Q] Is your Xperia Z Ultra magnetic? - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

I put my Ultra down on my console where I happened to have two loose staples lying from a package I'd opened earlier.
When I picked it up, the staples were magnetically attached to the bottom right corner of the phone - around where the speaker is.
Has anyone else noticed the phone having magnetic properties?

Speakers have magnets in them. This phone is just thin enough and the staples just light enough that they stick. No biggie.

Fun fact (not really): Phones that support wireless charging uses an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects, so they have magnets under the back cover. Not a lot of people (Nexus 5 owners for example) are aware of this, so they get surprised when things "sticks" to the back.

That is probably why @hamdogg has so many issues with his Ultra, he must have a knock-off

I had the same case and holster for the stock battery from verizon and quit using it after my phone slid out and hit the floor 5 times...
Went back to a leather case that you put the phone in (with belt clip).
perhaps a tad of electrical grease?...

If its the same thing that's happening to me then its not so much a squeak as it is feeling like its not completely on right.

I had that case and mine has always been tight. Had to really try and get it out to answer. I have 3 extras back from cpo they sent.

Brand new hard case

I really like the look of the blue case. Cheers for showing us these.
Looks like from doing a bit of research on google they are roughly a good $15-20 to buy so not too bad (that's Aussie dollars)

amazing... where i am buy in indonesia ?
Great case (I have one) although it doesnt cover much of the front of the phone ie front edges or buttons when lying face down on a surface and the camera/mic area is also exposed when lying down on a surface - otherwise excellent case.
Oh yea the right hand side of mine pops off and the case moves slightly back and forth over the phone causing scratches - the movement is solved with sticky tape between the back of the phone and the inside of the case.
I have incidentally since bought a Krusell case which is far far superior in many ways (see post) but does increase the size of the phone a lot more than this slim fitting profile Imak case.
P.S - dust/dirt getting between the back of the phone and the case can cause a sandpaper scratching effect between the hard surfaces and I used some sticky tape to stop the slight movement as the case moved over the phone to also stop the scratching (and the movement).

Tab Survived 13 foot drop!

Just about to come down the stairs, I trip, then bye bye tab over the railings!

Amazing thing is, the only mark I can see is a slight nick on the corner, but it's that small, it may have been there a while and I've just not noticed it, considering it's plastic, it's still very well built. Lol.

You're damn lucky, my tab fell once out off my hands and i already had a small nick in my upper left corner
Blimey! I must be lucky as it's no where near as bad as that! I'll post a pic in a mo...
Edit: It's more of a graze than anything else.

2 options... Or you are darn lucky, or i must be an unlucky person in technology... Broke my laptop, pc, and mobile in 2 weeks (hardware issues) and accidently dropped my tablet and had a pretty hard nick in it... but that's already a while ago
Mine dropped from 3foot up, needless to say it shattered the digitiser. Though, it did me a favour as now I have an all white tab rather then white back black front... Horrible design...

Wow. It feels really flimsy in my hands.
Like I could just snap it in half no problem.
Mine survived an 8 foot drop directly on the corner, and just has a small white scratch. This is just about the toughest non-rugged tablet out.
Anyway, it may be a little shock resistant, but it's NOT waterproof in any way lol, my first tablet Didn't survive Pukkelpop 2011 (if you don't know what happened on this festival, youtube it) the tab was lying in my tent and became a little moist, not really wet... Mother nature decided to kill it anyway but i went back to the store and told them what exactly happend and they gave me a replacement...months later... after a horrible story

Does anyone have some experience how much such a metal bumper would affect the signal strength?!

I had one on my galaxy mega 6.3 and it did effect signal strength noticeably, I would say about a 20% loss. If you are always in very high signal strength areas this may not be a big deal, but at home I am usually 1 to 2 bars and with the case it was 0 to 1.
Thanks guys, I've ordered option 1

Heard it scratches the phone itself
I bot the 1st ver. Adds quite a fair bit of width to the phone which affected the handling and I was concerned with it scratching the phone rather than protecting it. Dumped it after 2 days of usage....

[REVIEW] Wawo Case Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 SM-P9000

Just bought this case for the Note Pro, I really like it. It may be on a sale now but it was just $13 which seems like a really good deal.
The case is faux leather with micro-suede interior. The pockets on the inside are mainly useless but otherwise I really like the case. Images are below.

When folded it makes a great stand and it stays put while typing.

I'm waiting for mine to come in it cost me about the same with shipping.
I feel like I literally have the exact same case, except it's made by Aerb:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HZFN2EE/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I paid 5.88 for it, although it is up to 8.99 now. And I'm loving it. I mean seriously. Look at the pictures. They are identical...
Just order it yesterday. Thanks for the feedback. I just got it for the cheap price and I am trying to save to get the logitech pro case because this beast needs a keyboard

Does the case provide enough support to stand the tablet up in portrait mode?

If on a flat surface, if you have it in the folded position, it is front heavy and does not work. You can open the case and sit it vertically like the attached photo.

The problem with these cases is that they feel really, really cheap. That mars the experience of having a nice tablet.
