Since the XZ Premium doesn't have a removable battery, that particular design isn't available. There is a similar case design available though (commonly called flip cases). Sony has their own, which is horrendously overpriced, but this is the general idea I'm thinking you might want.

Probably is available somewhere, most of those battery cases surround the phone and have a usb plug that goes into the phones charging point.

Oh I see what you mean. I misunderstood what it was that you were looking for. I'll see if I can find any and get back to you.

Hi,
I am from India, using an Z Ultra. I was looking for a bumper case for it and stumbled upon a cool one in eBay:
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Ultra-Thin-A...-Case-Sony-Xperia-Z-Ultra-Black-/281162345171
But it is so expensive. Rs 2636.
If anyone have stumbled upon a cool bumper for the Z Ultra, which is a bit cheap, please post:angel:
Does the silence mean that nobody knows about a cheaper option in India?

I've been searching for a long time.... Other than the one which you posted and another (nearly same price), I haven't found any bumpers. Aluminum ones, that is.

eBay Global Easy Buy
I picked up a black aluminium one of ebay GEB. Turned out slightly cheap. And the phone looks amazing with it. http://geb.ebay.in/g/ImportHubSearc...tra&catId=&qbtn=Search&_trksid=p2052119.l1440
Most of cheap aluminum bumper cases are un-reliable due to no protection in between the case and the phone. It gives u more scratch to the phone if the bumper is not tight enough. Plz ask seller about it.

Realize this is an older post, but was wondering if the bumper degraded your cell or gps signals? I have been thinking of getting one but read where some people have issues with them.
thanks
Not in use anymore

Hey, sorry for the delay in replying. Even though the bumper looks very cool, I have realized (the hard way, though) that you will not be seen using it all the time. First of all, the added bulk, even though very little, does not justify the usage
Secondly, the bumper may not be so comfortable to hold, may be cos of the edges
Thirdly, it does not play well with the Xperia Z Ultra design language. This is not as beautiful as a Nexus 4 bumper, i would say
I AM NOT USING THE BUMPER CASE anymore :cyclops:

Thanks for getting back to me on such an old thread. Did the bumper degrade your signal strength any when you were using it? What are you using now?
Thanks again

Not sure about Signal Strength, as i didnt use it much.
I am using a transparent case now, so that my Xperia Z Ultra design shines through

It sounds like we all want the same thing... To keep the beautiful design visible and be minimalistic. Can you post where you got the clear case you ended up using and your thoughts on it? I would really be appreciative.

It was a hard glass case. IMAK Case. It scratched my device on the sides. I took it and threw it. Now no case
Silicon cases might be the best option
oh man I'm sorry to hear that. That's kind of a nightmare and it sounds like we need to keep away from bumper cases and this all glass case.
Is it possible to switch out the camera from an xperia z1 and put it in the z ultra? I've read that the software has been ported over, but I'm curious whether it would be possible to change out the 8mp camera for a 20.7 one? I've not seen the internals of either phone but my assumption would be the connector would be the same or at the very least similar...
i.e. rip out the stock camera and replace it with this:
eBay itm/Main-Camera-Sony-Xperia-Z1-C6902-C6903-C6906-C6916-C6943-L39h-20Mpx-New-ORIGINAL-/181249041255?pt=UK_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item2a3348e367
not allowed to post links but just add the missing bits to the above if you are so inclined.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Straight answer: no
Why:
The Z1 is 8.5mm thick
The ZU is 6.5mm thick
It wont fit.
Internally the Z1 and ZU are the same. Some module differences, and the camera obviously but a Z1 sensor would fit, its just the lens combination that is too thick to fit. And without that lens combination you wouldn't have the 20mp camera.

I don't think you will find a fitting one. And I think the zu is glued so disassembling and reassembling will be very very tough

I've pulled apiary mine, and it is difficult.. But possible. There is a rubber seal around the whole unit and a little glue to.
Seeing as the ultra is the thinnest yet, I don't think you'll get any other sensor in there. That's why it's as bad as it is I guess

So they sacrifice camera for thinnest..... Is it worth it.....for me, maybe, a little...

The only module that i can think of to be put here is the one from Xperia 2011 devices.. But then, even if you managed to change it, you need to resolve the software for it too, which gets quite messy really fast..
Thanks for the replies
I still wonder if a case modification would allow for the camera...
Something to ponder and perhaps trial when the phone becomes obsolete

you would still need to build a kernel and rom just for this one off project
Just received a couple of cases I purchased
1 Simplism black
1 Simplism clear
1 MetalSlim clear
The Simplism are soft while the metal slim is the hard plastic. Using the simpliam now and loving the fit and the quality. Had the sont flip case when I biught the phone but was immediately unsatisfied because of how much weight and thickness it added.
Chexk out the simplism if u looking for the thin case that just to protect scratches and min drops.
Btw, above mentioned all came with screen protectors
Loving it
Take care guys

Can you post some pictures of your device in the cases? I'm especially interested in the Simplism Clear, because manufacturers often show rendered 3D models or digitally enhanced shots to show how transparent these things are when actually they are more milky and matte.

i wouldn't say it's 100% clear, on some close up photos you can see that its actually got 'micro' dots. don't know what is the purpose for that though. i personally do think that even with the dots, it's clarity is transparent enough for me
nothing yet to complain about this case
**by then way, this cases do have the cut-out for the magnetic port which was also one of my main reasons for buying as i believe i'm like many users, i use the dock to charge when at home
found this website i think it's located in the US, the others are in Asia
http://shop.brando.com/simplism-ultra-thin-cover-set-for-sony-xperia-z2_p10766c0304d004.html
have checked the official Simplism website but they are not showing the Z2 cases yet
Finally, saw Brando released Power Jacket For Sony Xperia Z2

Here's a cheaper flip style one I came across

Good grief, another 4500mAh, I could probably limp along for over a week on a charge.
I haven't had much experience with Brando either, but I did order their front and rear tempered glass protectors and the quality and packaging were excellent.

Why do u think its just the adhesive. U can choose between grey and white cover.... I'm thinking about buying the grey one and swap my white one out. But the wooden covers would be awesome
