Alternative BackPlate - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I recently brought a Xperia SP and it's currently in the post. I have watched reviews etc and they all say the phone is great apart from the cheap back cover.
I was wondering if this is really that bad and if anyone has found a better back cover for the device?

Don't think it makes any difference as you don't need to take back cover off.

Do you use a case on your OB?

Do you use a case on your OB?
On the one hand OB is very slim, what makes it feel good in the hands and look very nice, on the other hand if it falls on the ground it may break.
And do you use a screen protector? some people claim that it's unnecessary, but is OB screen really made of gorilla glass?
Never used a case and I dropped my phone many many times, still working great and it is not damaged

I have a silicon/latex cover and NEVER use it, makes it bulky and very hot, i just saw a metal back cover though i may get that one
I have a tpu case and actually I didn't like it, the phone with a case feels weird and uncomfortable to press the buttons.
I just bought a new battery cover to give it a new look.

KLD Charming Case (Magnetic?)

He guys, I found another leather flip case that seems really nice. I like the colors but wish there was a blue similar to the Asus Nexus 7 cases.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/KLD-Ultra-S...702452?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c690824f4
The one thing that concerns me is that it is magnetic. Is that safe? I found a video of the case(s) on youtube.

I really wanted one of those as well but being magnetic is a no go.

Besides being magnetic, they seem to be the all around best flip cover I've found (besides the Official Samsung Flip Cover that haven't looked at.) Nice colors, good design, appears to be good quality....... Guess we'll have to wait for something else.
I received this case the other day and the quality and feel is excellent. It is a beautiful case. I'm going to give it and try on my Note when I receive it. I like it better than the official Samsung flip cover.
Any feed back on the magnetic case being safe. I am getting my note 11\1 amenities want to order the case ahead of time. So far I am liking this case.

Safe? Well, it's not going to damage anything much, but it WILL screw with the S-Pen, and render the compass completely useless.
Ive got the case and been using it the last few days with no ill effects what so ever!!!
The magnet is next to the front camera and doesnt screw with the S pen at all. ln regards to the compass I cant comment as l dont use it (l dont think)!!!
All in all a really nice solid case - no complaints so far.
ps - went for the black and beige one - looks smart!

The case is safe. Smart covers for tablets (N7, Ipad) contain magnets. That is how they automatically wake up when you open them.
I bought this aswell hopefully there are no side effects. I plan on installing a landyard in it aswell. The note wont fit in all my jeans pockets ; p

I see now. It looks like butt. At least the colors do.
Ok I just bought it as well the black one as it looks beautifull and it has a kickstand feature what more do you want from a case all for a super price delivered what are you waiting for guys?
I have this case in black and I absolutely LOVE it.
It looks amazing, isn't bulky and the materials are top-notch. The phone doesn't move a millimeter. I haven't used the pocket yet, but I think it's a handy feature.
The magnet is a plus for me. It hasn't caused any problems.
I didn't want the official case, because it's made of the same chintzy plastic as the stock back - which I don't like at all.
FYI I have a brand new one of these cases available for $15.00 shipped. I'm located in the US so shipping will be a lot quicker than China. Please see the thread below for details

I'm looking at this case too and have a couple questions.
Does NFC still work?
What is it like to text and make phone calls on it?
Do you think it would still fit in a car mount with the back cover flipped around?
How easy is it to take in and out of the case?
I will NEVER use a magnetic case on my devices.
Very expensive device + magnet = prone to damage.

You ever use the OG Droid? Both the car dock and desk dock used magnets. Magnets are fine with these devices
I doubt a low strength magnet would have any negative effect on the device.
I ordered a wallet case with a magnetic clasp and initially I was worried about dead spots on the screen. Having received the case and seeing how laughably weak they are (just enough to hold the front panel shut, absolutely no more) I'm not sweating it at all.
I'm eagerly waiting for the FedEx guy now, but I'll report back and tell of any issues.

[Q] Anyone know where can i buy Xperia V Lt25i back cover?

Do Anyone know where i can get this other than ebay? An original one,that is also with the waterproof rubber seal..Im kind of worried that those in ebay,that those back cover are just a fake knock off with a fake rubber seal (not tight or even surface or something) which makes it looks like Real.. Any idea? Wanted an original one or maybe China one with a decent quality that cover the battery compartment in the phone.. Thanks in advance ~

Help lost the flap that covers usb charge port

Hello I live in philadelphia USA I bought a z1 from Craigslist brand new unfortunately it's my own fault but I had my phone on charge it fell and was hanging from the wire and it manages to rip off the flap now it's lost I need a new flap is it possible to get one they don't have the phone here Sony said they can't fix it due to not being released here any ideas?
Try amazon, or any UK based phone websites.
But it should be released in US soon and then you can get parts
I did quite alot of looking the only thing I found that might work is the dummy phones it was 10 dollars I emailed them on ebay to see if the flap was able to come off

Called sony
I called sony parts and after being ****ed around to a third phone number that I had to call they quoted me $80 to replace one stupid freaking flap. I think it's worth just being careful with you phone for the time being. That was not including the postage to get it there qld -> nsw. And they mentioned they would do a pressure test to make sure it's water resistant again. Does anyone know if you can just get a life case similar to the iphones case?
Nobody is going to make a waterproof case for a waterproof phone

But it's not even water proof, it's water resistant
You're right though I'm probably the only one who would buy it. I am notoriously terrible with phones.

How could you broke that flaps, mate.
I have tortured my Xperia S for over a year and my flaps are still great...
It's very hard to broke that
But, please, when you fix flaps, could you post a little tutorial so if we broke ours we should know where to buy it and how to replace them
Tnx

I tried to get the part inside the phone out, but it seems that it got really deep. How did you got yours part out of this hole?
These flaps are way too weak, my phone is Three weeks old and the USB flap already feels loose and opens up a little after a while of being closed
I should have bought a dock or that whatever cable

Just push it inside and fit new one - should do no harm
Thanks. I was trying to get it out and in the end I've cut everything of it but the thick part in the phone
Good thing you have posted this or else I'd still try to get it out since I'll be waiting about 20 days for the replacement to arrive. Duh, I paid 4$ for international shipping to Poland which is one of the countries that are somewhere in the middle of the earth ^^.

yeh I had my Z1 dismantled a couple of days ago fitting a new screen so pushing it inside shouldn't present any problems at all

Metal bumper case for ZR

Hey!
Has anyone experience with metal cases? I've found this one: http://www.dayjoybuy.com/aluminum-p...ctor-for-sony-xperia-zr-m36h-c5502-p-937.html
I think this could be a good protection for the screen especially when the phone falls exactly on the edge/breadline...
What do you think? Pls give me some input about such cases!
Thx folks!
Seems strong, however looks heavy & also big n size
