Dock compatible Cases/Bumpers - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone out there with cases/bumpers that work with the official Sony Xperia Z dock?
Am thinking of getting a dock and a case, but dont want the hassle of having remove the device from the bumper/case every time I want to charge.
Anybody out there with a dock can enlighten us?
Thanks,
Chester

Follow this thread there is one gel/rubber case that will possibly work (as it has the extra gap for the dock points). Look for my posts, it will be the second or third last post I did.

Looks real nice and it has cuts for every accesoire (says the description) but would it fit in a dock? Anyone who already has got the dock, how tight is the fit?
Thanks in advance

Don't think so

Ok, will have to mod the dock probably...

Found this...
Looks slim enough to use with the dock hopefully?
There is even a cut out for the dock connectors...

Just found this on the Mobilefun website "Noreve Tradition B Leather Case for Sony Xperia Z".It's a bit pricey but a definite possibility.

Agreed, although he said it wasn't too bad. I'd imagine it would have to be angled just right to put the center of gravity in the right spot, and you'd have to hold it right.
Would be interesting if it held the tablet in front of the controller... might balance out then. Would just have to get the gap right then.
Definitely makes more sense with the phone model... can't wait to get one for my S3.
Might get one of these for $15. Really wish there was more controllers like this out there that could even charge your device. Universal game controller would be nice too.

Tripod phone holder

Hi I am looking at getting a tripod holder for my phone to take pictures has anyone tried or has one of these. I have looked on amazon but none of the generic ones state that they would fit the note two.

Great news mate hope you get some good results.
Are you testing a gorilla pod style tripod?
why not just use something like this?

I got this when I got my monopod; very useful when going to muesums and so forth where tripods are not allowed. It will hold the GN2.
Otherwise, I would just get some kind of car dock you like, and just add the screw bracket; superglue can do wonders.
This product looks really good for our Note 2!

I have this. Don't get it. It fits, but it is such a tight fit that it is unpleasant to use. You have to either not use a case, or scrape out the rubber pads.

I just ordered one. I'll report back here once it comes in.
Combining with a Gorillapod for double duty as carmount and camera tripod.
The iStabilizer is fantastic.
Plenty of room for a larger phone when you pull it open, but it still grips the Note II firmly with soft rubber pads. I am not an expert, but it feels very well constructed.
In conjunction with my Gorillapod, it makes a perfect mobile car mount gripping the PT Cruiser's oh **** bar on the passenger dash.

Where's the info?
What brand is this? How much does it cost? Where did you buy it?
I was watching these on ebay, that sits at a pretty extreme angle, does it have different settings? Can you post pictures of it dismantled?
Does it prop up on portrait mode? I'm still trying to find a case that would prop in portrait mode.

Closest I could find was: this, which isn't bad at $7 + screen protector + free shipping .
I think this is cool as it has a stand that works in both portrait and landscape modes. Looks decent too for $7 and free shipping.
I don't have either and can't vouch for either.

This does stand in portriat mode. It has also kept my note2 safe through two pretty good drops. Not to mention a great price.
Sorry....not trying to hijack your thread.

Custom nexus 7 car dock

Hi everyone. I've been readind this forum for a while, and what I found was very use full and helped me a lot..
So ive decided to share some of my work too.
I was lookind for some time for a nice clean looking holder for my nexus 7 without luck, so I decided to build one.
Tricky bit was to install dock with hu together, as in my van I have no other place to install hu anywhere else so its easy accessible, I had to install above, i was worried that screen sticking out will look weird, but it actually look OK.
I have attached some pictures, any feedback is welcomed, and if someone needs some information I'm happy to help.
The most difficult was to ALIGN those charging pins, I have spend really to much time doing that.
Tablet is attacked using magnets. But n7 does not have any metallic parts on the back cover, so I had to put some metal behind back cover, I have used some Stanley knife steel blades

this is the long one i have used for easier installation, but they do shorter too.
the only thing is delivery charge, unless you find something else to buy from them..
need a trade account or I have to spend over 20 quid to use a debit/credit card.....
this might do the job?

Sorry, I didn't realised that, I bought a tester from them worth £40.
First one may do if spacing between pins is OK.
Second one I have used, that thin bit can be cut off and solder wire to thicker.
Sweet, cheers mate

Once I can get hold of another phone to take the pic with I can ha ha. The fit is good now that I have it on fully. It needed a fair bit of force on the top right half though to finally get it in under the lip. I think the lip is slightly smaller on that side on mine.
But, now it is on, for £2, delivered (it even arrived next day), I can't complain for now! Am still gonna get a spigen slim armor though, long term.
