i would definitely buy it but there isn't any cut for the magnetic charger, don't feel like opening the flappy microSD and charger every time for charging.
Slip your Sony Xperia Z2 into this custom fit Matte Back Black TPU Case by Diztronic and experience the peace of mind of knowing your investment is well protected. Flexible, yet stronger and more durable than silicone, TPU offers excellent shock absorption and abrasion resistance while maintaining a thin form factor.
Just bought one
I just ordered a matte black Diztronic case from their website listed by the OP. I haven't even received my new-to-me-but-used Xperia yet, but I'm thinking ahead! I have the same type of Diztronic case on my Nexus 4 and it's been absolutely great for over 1.5 years use, and a handful of good drops. I do wish the cutout was there for the magnetic charger, but I still wanted to see what it was like, maybe even cut that section out by hand if the rest of the case makes it good enough to keep.
Love it, but...

FWIW, after a few months, I love this Diztronic case...except I do dislike taking the phone out of the case to charge in my dock. It's not annoying enough for me to use something else, however, as this case is really perfect fitting, durable, not slippery, and looks nice if you like the matte finish. The other slim case I bought has a cutout for the charging dock, but still doesn't actually fit (with either spacer option). I'd have to 3D print a custom cradle spacer with additional clearance on one side, and that's not worth it. So, alas, I will probably continue to just take it out of the case every night. I will say that since battery life is so good on this phone, I pretty much never have to charge during the day, so never have to open the micro-usb cover, or take the case off to use the magnetic charger adapter (which I usually only use for traveling).
Simple and good~

I just recently got my 3vo and i need a case for it, never been a big fan of the otterboxes (just seem too bulky). I need a case that looks good and gives some protection.. i have a 2 year old that loves to play with my phone.. But im not sure what to get.. I dont work in construction or take my phone on any extreme sports, but i do forget my phone on my lap in the car all the time and go to get out and boom it hits the ground.. so i do need some protection..
So far this is the one im likeing

If you have a Best Buy near you, you can go there an try on some cases. They carry the one you posted too.
I had that case for my Evo 4G and I liked it a lot. Very nice case. The ones at Best Buy are named Pt, but they are made ny Seidio for Best Buy. Same exact case, just a different name stamped on it.

The casemate tough case is pretty nice. It's not super big like the defender but its not slim either. But it looks nice, fits great and protects well. I got mine off ebay for about 22 bucks new. Well worth it. I also have the seidio active but prefer the tough case and haven't taken it off for the last 2 weeks or so except to clean it.

I'm still waiting for the Ballistic Case for the Evo 3D to make its appearance on their website; waiting on the HC version.
The CaseMate's look pretty good as well. I've seen good reviews for the Tough Case that they make.
However, SLM is correct. Go try out the Platinum cases at Best Buy before you take the plunge with the Seidio case. It costs $34.99 at Best Buy for the same Seidio one you're interested in.
I'll tell you from experience that I have the Platinum case (a.k.a. a rebranded version of the Seido Active case), and it's pretty sweet! Rumor has it that Best Buy will also be getting the Seidio 1900 mAh batteries as well, but they'll too be rebranded as Platinum. The case I got is excellent and slimmer than the Otterbox cases. It comes in two pieces. You have a silicone sleeve with a felt-like interior that wraps around the phone, and then you have a strong plastic skeleton that wraps around the sleeve. Although the case is great, there are a few things that I don't like about it. For one, if you keep your phone in your pocket like me, you'll start to notice pocket lint collect around the edges of the case. Also, it's sometimes hard to press buttons around the edges of the phone. For example, I use Swype, and when I have to manually type in a word instead of swiping, it can be difficult pressing letters such as P or A. I'll accidentally hit the O or S keys. But it does offer damn good protection. I've gotten so accustomed to the case that it's just weird to hold the phone without it. The case also protects the dual cameras in the back. I have no clue why HTC decided to have the cameras stick out, but this case offers protection for them. As far as my pocket lint issue goes, I think I might invest in a holster for the phone. I'm not sure if Best Buy sells the Platinum branded holster that is compatible with the Active case, but I'll look sometime this week and let you know. I use my phone as my primary music player, whether it's mp3s stored on the phone, FM radio, or Internet radio, and I think that having it on my hip instead of my pocket will be a little bit more convenient for me.
As far as cases go, I've only seen the Platinum case with the black skeleton being sold at Best Buy. Seido sells their Active case with different colored skeletons, but the sleeve still remains black. I'm kinda disappointed Best Buy didn't sell the burgundy skeleton. I think it would've looked nice on this phone (I'm a fan of dark red colors.). If you want something more rugged, Seido sells on their website the Surface case (a hard two piece plastic shell available with or without a kickstand) and the Convert case. If you plan on drunkenly abusing your phone or chunking your phone at the wall after a pissed off conversation, I recommend the Convert case. It's like a combination of the Active and Surface cases. The inner layer is the Surface case, and then it's wrapped with a silicone sleeve and skeleton like the Active case. It also has a detachable cover for the rear cameras. To top it all off, the Convert case comes with a precision-cut screen guard. I don't really need all that thickness and protection, but I would put money down that the Convert case holds up to its name. If you plan on getting an extended battery though, make sure you get an extended case since the regular cases won't fit with the extended battery door.
Anyway, I hope this helps. Good luck shopping for the right case!
I bought a silicon case with the wave. Protects camera, wich had to be protected since it sticks out. Also protects the other buttons and seems to fit well...
Its only 1,50 dollar so thats not a bad deal.
The TPU case is really awesome. It's on ebay and really cheap! Just search ebay for "evo 3d tpu case"
Only one downside, almost every 3vo owner has it
Red Body Glove case
I have the Body Glove case in red, and I like it a lot. It is a nice looking case.
I have no issues with mine unlike some others, but check out the pictures here:

Sounds good, let us know what you decide. Bhambalek said they only have the black skeleton shell at his Best Buy. My local Best Buy only had them in white. Maybe yours will have both so you'll have options. Good luck!

Just unpacked and put on my Seidio Active with holster, got the saphire blue from Versio Mobile on Amazon, 34.49 shipped.
Very nice case, fits very snug, like the inner skin and outer skeleton, holster is very solid. Only complaint, that the camera glass is not protected; probably order a carbon skin so I can throw some protection on that glass. Had a TPU on her since day one and glad I upgraded to this one.

I also like and recommend the TPU Skin Cover Phone Case for HTC Evo 3D http://www.amazon.com/TPU-Cases-Flexible-Sprint-Retail-Packaging/dp/B0053NWDO0
I have the Sedio Surface case and am happy with it. Decent protection and it has a kickstand also.
I posted a review on sprintusers, but dont know the policy here about linking to other forums.
i picked up the PT Cruiser case yesterday, i was able to get the black and white one that i liked.. Now i first off the bat i really like the look and feel of the case, but i dont like how the phone fits in the rubber sleeve, its not a real snug fit. So i can see pocket lint and other things easily able to get inbetween the phone and the rubber side, but other then that i like it so far.. Its still a lil early to make a final decision on the case..
But again thanks for everyones responces, i have to say this site really does rock!!
one word: otterbox defender. Ok so that was 2 words.
I have four requirements:
(1) Decent protection all around except for screen.
(2) Protection for the camera.
(3) Must lie flat and not wobble when typing w/phone on table.
(4) Must not make the phone significantly fatter (otterbox is OUT).
Anyone have any suggestions? I actually like the gel case from Sprint but it doesn't protect the camera.
Mike
i like seidio case the best
i've tried all sorts of cases and I keep coming back to my casemate tough case, can't go wrong with that one. It's not that bulky and offers just the right amount of protection without having your phone inside a vault like the defender.
Seidio Active or Platinum Cruiser. I had the Seidio on my Evo 4G for a year. Get the holster from Seidio to prevent the lint issue and clip it inside of your pocket. Something that nobody mentioned is that the rubber bezel allows you to set the phone face down without the screen contacting. That also makes it slip resistant and prevents an unattended ringing phone from vibrating off of the desk. Not too much bulk either.

Hey guys
I'm on the lookout for a great looking case for the Z2, I need it to take scratches only, I don't want shock protection as much. I found spigen ultra hybrid to be totally transparent, good on safety too?! Any users can shed some light on this case? Worth a buy?
Thanks in advance guys!

Is that so? I was planning to buy this case, but I also want to use dock.
So, it's a no?
Ended up buying the case, pretty good quality and I don't use the charging dock so that wasn't an issue, although the flimsy bit near the sim card slot is a let down, I wouldn't recommend it just because of that
I have this case and I love it. That flimsy bit is no big deal as it's not really in a place where protection from bumps or scratches is really an issue. For charging, I used an Xacto knife and a Dremmel to make an opening that works with the standard magnetic charging cables that you can find on Amazon. However, due to case thickness, the dock WILL NOT work with the case on regardless of the custom opening I made or how you adjust the dock. That being said, I only use the dock on my nightstand and my home office desk. At work or on the road (including in the car) I have magnetic charging cables. The thing I really like about this case is that it comes off and goes on SO EASY, yet still fits snugly once on. That makes it a simple task to pop it out of the case (3 seconds tops) at night or at my desk to put in the dock.
HTH.

Spigen always provide the best case of the Hero model devices!! I using the Neo Hybrid of my Note 3 also, planning to get Xperia Z2.
I had the case but returned it after a week. It makes the phone extra bulky and big that doesn't feel right or comfortably in my hands. My phone I now naked with a carbon fiber skins all the way around and I think that is the best combo there is

Figured opening something for this would be useful for everyone. Being that this model has different dimensions from both the Z3 standard and Z2 itll need its own line of cases. Theres apparently a tough case mate on the way and some leather slip cases. Post up what you come across as you go.
I did some research and found out the cases for the Z2 L50h will work for Z3v since the dimensions of the phones are the same.
I've found no evidence to support that.
VZW website has 2 cases up so far. A silicone one and the usual hard case with holster and kickstand.
It appears that Verizon might be stocking a third case in the near future - If you go to the all accessories page (not the cases page) on the Verizon website and and filter by the z3v, there is also a Incipio DualPro for Experia Z3v in purple or black in the list, although it gives a 404 if you try to click on it.
It looks nicer then the other options, so I'm hoping it is released soon.
Update: I can now get to the details page and ad it to a cart, so maybe they are adding the listing this morning.
The incipio is out in stores. I got one when i picked up my phone. Its actually pretty nice.
Do you need to take the phone out of the case for charging wirelessly?
i have the cheapo black case, works fine charging wirelessly. it was like 19 bucks?
Both the incipio and silicone Verizon cases can be left on to charge wirelessly

Do the z2 cases fit the z3v
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
Unfortunately no.
Your best ones available are pretty much the plain TPU case and the incipio dual from Verizon. I have the plain one, but it does pretty alright for what it does in giving me grip.
Everyone should contact Diztronic and ask them to make a TPU for the Z3v. I've always liked their TPU products.

I have the kickstand holster case and just use the shell. It looks good but the protection isn't the best. It covers the back glass but the top and bottom of the phone are exposed in the middle. Not bad though. Both this case and the plain TPU case I bought work with my Sony 5,000mah wireless portable charger (nice device btw) and the Chloe Qi charger.

They're not TPU cases, they're just plain silicone. I'm waiting for the TPU cases to come out
The Incipio case is the best one out right now.
i had post this on the other thread:
look like theres a new TPU case made from China that looks very interesting
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-Skin-Cas...#ht_2017wt_867
There's an otter box defender on otter boxes site. Looks bulky.
I am using the Z2's Trident Aegis case on my Z3v. Fit is just about on point. The opening for the charging port/SIM card is a little off where I can't open the charging port cover to charge. I have to remove it from the case. The cutout where the earphone port is has a gap around the little flap that covers the actual port.
Other than those minor issues, I have been satisfied using this case until a more specific fit case rolls out.
In short, I am extremely disappointed in this case and feel ripped off for having to paying $30 for a case that is worth, at MOST $5.​Pictures: http://imgur.com/a/jYJuw#0
Pros:
Visually attractive at a glance.
Buttons do work.
Case leaves enough room for large headphone plugs to fit with ease.
Although I do not have a magnetic charger, there appears to be plenty of room for it to fit as long as the adapter isn't too wide.
Cons:
Bumper is plastic and very flimsy. I fully except it to shatter if my phone is ever dropped.
Extremely overpriced for the quality of case provided.
Buttons feel cheap (I can't believe they are metal), are loosely fitted, meaning they rattle when phone is shook.
The part of the bumper closest to the screen that surrounds the USB port and magnetic charger is very very fragile and can be moved almost to the point of snapping without much effort.
After picking up my T-Mobile Z3 on Wednesday I quickly went online to find a case to protect my phone. I was very much disappointed to find that there are hardly any quality cases available, especially in the US. After researching a bit, it seemed like Case-Mate was the best option there was and I put in an order for the Slim Tough.
My case came today (Saturday) and after using it for a few hours I have written this review.
If you have any questions, please ask.

Wow this is extremely disappointing I was really looking foward to getting mine on Monday. Do you feel it is at least better protection then the Ringke Fusion (as I know you have that too. It is such a shame a nice phone like the Z3 has such limited case options.

I actually do not have the Ringke Fusion so I cannot make a proper comparison.
I do know that the rubber TPU on this case is the best part and offers good protection against scratches and light bumps. It also would offer the most protection against a drop as it would absorb most of the impact. The bumper (which keeps the TPU on), on the other hand, will offer no protection and will likely shatter or break upon impact.

I agree, I'm sometimes hard on my devices. This looked like possibly a replacement for the Otterbox Commuter I used on another phone - thin and durable. Still looking for something similar.

I will give my thoughts on Monday when I get my hands on mine but I do have a feeling I will feel the same. I guess I will be atleast a little happy if its better then the Ringke Fusion I have right now (which isn't going to be hard to top) Then I can continue my search for an even better case.
Lets hope in the coming month we have some better options It's good that T Mobile is selling the phone as that might help get some people making some cases but it stinks there is no main stream companies other then case-mate making a case for the Z3.

I have to say I feel nearly the same as Christian, Looking at it it does look like a nice case but digging deeper you find some issues.
The buttons are extremely cheap and do rattle and have no clickyness to them what so ever. the plastic bumper does feel flimsy but I don't think it would crack if dropped because of the TPU behind it. However I think if you took the case off the wrong way and bent it it could easily crack. I also don't like the bulkyness it added to the width of the phone. Before I was using the case (and even with the Rinke Fusion the phone felt nice in the hand but now with the case it feels overly wide.
It does with with the Nilkin Tempered Glass Screen Protector (Barely) which is nice and I have a feeling will work with my magnetic connector (will test when I get home.
Overall I think I like it a little better then Christian and will use it over my Rinke Fusion (because I feel it has better protection) I will still be on the lookout for another case which after spending as much as I did on the case-mate is disappointing.
Overall I give it a 5/10
Well unfortunately this case is completely dead for me as it does not work with the magnetic charger port even with the cutout so back to the Rinke for me.
Where did you get the case from online? It's temporarily unavailable on Casemate's website and I can't find it anywhere else besides MobileFun (whose shipping is ridiculous)
Ebay matey.
But i'm form the UK, so it may well differ for you.

I got mine from the US Caste Mate store.
I just bought mine today at one of the sony stores here in Malaysia. I have to agree with what Christian has pointed out. The buttons feel cheap and it has the loose sound which makes it feel cheap despite the price of it. I am a fan of Spigen casing because of the hybrid colors and full protection in all corners and this case mate slim tough is the closest fit I found to Spigen. But having it on can't fit into my magnetic charging dock without removing the cover which I think it will break some day.. Now I just remove the dock holder and did some DIY card board to charge it with the casing on
I guess I will switch to Ringke Fusion soon and let my 90 bucks burns.. Ouch..
---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------
Btw, I decided to sell it out, who wants it can PM me. Thanks
The un symetrical looking back just bothers me. I am waiting for Spigen to give some Z3 love.
Hey all if anyone looking for the new Pitaka MagEZ Case for S20 series it's finally out. Mine is on the way, Pitaka makes awesome products.
If you plan on ordering anything take a look and use the link below for extra 10% off.
http://pitaka.refr.cc/ivanmann
Got my shipping notification today as well. Ordered the MagEZ and dashboard mount wireless charger. Are you in the US? How long do you think it will take to deliver?
Shipping notice on DHL site updated w Tuesday (4/7) delivery now.
They're really quick with shipping. Have ordered several of their products. I'm in Canada, my case should come this week.
When did you order?
I ordered Monday night and the web site indicated that it would ship the next day.
Here it is Thursday afternoon and I have not received any notification. Clicking on the order link in the original email just shows the same thing: order received. Do they ship from China?
Thinking of cancelling TBH.
Yes they ship from China. You should get something soon. But reach out to their support team in case. They're very responsive and helpful usually.

Funny, just after dinner I got an email with shipping notice.
I have a tracking number with an origin a state away (NJ), USPS first class package.
Should arrive in a few days.
I want to see what all the hype is about.

I haven't noticed any issues so far!
I am waiting for carrier to pickup. Got tracking number ,but not picked up yet
So got my MagEZ and the wireless charger dash mount. Did not expect the metal plates to be so low on the phone body - I guess that's how they don't block the wireless charging coil.
I'm actually more disappointed in the lack of screen coverage. The sides of the phone are the most exposed in this case then any other case I've tried but worst is the lack of lip on the top of bottom. On every other case I've tried, there is at least some gap when I turn it face down on the table - with this case on, this is pretty much laying down flush on the screen itself.
Got my MagEZ today, finally nearly two weeks after ordering. USPS isn't the greatest for sure!
It's a good case. Definitely NOT for protection. I mean it will provide more protection than nothing. In hand it feels nice. The presentation is also good. As in you can tell it's not an Otterbox!
If one want's thinner they'd have to skin their phone. There's something about a naked phone, dunno, the edges feel weird like I'm going to drop it in an instant. It's weird because before the days of non removable batteries it actually didn't feel "wrong" rocking a naked phone...

So that is a latercase, no Pitaka with metal plates (and still wirelessly charging).
I like the latercases rim being bent upwards but they are missing the metal plates.
Also, I do not like the manufacturers actions around Pitaka and would therefore, personally, not buy from them. But that is my personal opinion only.

Agreed. Latercase straight up ripped Pitaka off and just because he has a bigger audience felt he could get away with it.
I got the Pitaka Mag case as well. This is my 3rd Pitaka case. Had this on my s8 and s10 before. This model seems to fit lower on the sides than previous models and the cutout for the charging port is wide open this year. Not sure why. This is still my favorite case because it's strong, super thin, and metal plates for car mount.

This model seems to fit lower on the sides than previous models and the cutout for the charging port is wide open this year. Not sure why. This is still my favorite case because it's strong, super thin, and metal plates for car mount.

It's open at the bottom because to close it there would be a very thin strip that would be rather flimsy. Still far better than having the entire bottom open.
My only gripe about this case is how hard it is to take off! But once it's on, it's very solid and doesn't feel like it's peeling away or falling off when you grab the edges like most thin TPU style cases.
I have to say that it is perfect, IMO. I am using Pitaka since the S8 and they are always in a class of their own. I tried like 100 cases over the years and I have settled to this:
- Pitaka Mag Case for daily, normal use. This is the best for me.
- "Self made" Pitaka Pro case (more sturdy) using a dbrand grip case and placing the Pitaka metal plates in the right places under the back skin, salvaged from an old Pitaka case (destructive). This is the sturdy case, still offering magnetic attachment and wireless charging.

Good idea! I wish they would make the procase for Galaxy phones. I too use the MagEz case as my daily and now using the Ringke Fusion X as my rugged case when needed. Last year I tried those O shaped metal rings attached to the back of a Tech 21 but it still didn't quite line up with the car mount. I thought about getting the plates from a previous case but luckily been able to resell them for close to 50% value.
