Hey all, I've just ordered an Xperia V and it will arrive next week. My problem though considering I cracked the screen on my Nexus S is protection. I really don't want to damage my phone and need it protected well. I want to get a flip case with card holders as they are very convenient however, there don't seem to be many manufacturers of Xperia V cases.
Does anyone have some suggestions of cases or had experience with any of them?

You should find them in droves on eBay.
i think phone dealer is available for flipped cased
but problem for me after update from Icecreamsandwich to JB, my flipped cased are useless due to answer phone button been switched up a lil and unablle answer call directly
So like it says in the title... I know the phones are technically different sizes. But the difference appears to be very VERY minimal. I'm wondering if with a very small amount of altering if any at all the cases would be compatible...
No headphone jack opening.
haha I hadn't thought of that, however it's nothing a dremel couldn't fix
not fully compatible
I use one o those, and if you make the headphone hole in the case it will fit, BUT I cant use Screen protectora o tempered glass because its not compatible with the case, Im think that is because of tje differece in size.
Yes most of the moto z force cases fit i heard from jwills and a few other utubers just need headphonr jack

I'm using the moto z forces otterbox commuter on mine. Works fine for me since I mostly use Bluetooth

I'm using a Case Mate "Tough Stand" made for the force. No headphone jack opening, but this case is awesome. Adds very little bulk and has built in stand for viewing. Got it at the local Verizon store during the BOGO promotion.

I would not recommend this. The jack and several microphones get covered. Also, the phone is slightly taller and wider than force so the protection may be compromised.
*I have both phones and have tested several force cases on play
I probably won't be doing it, but it's literally a half of a millimeter wider and taller. If you drill out the mic holes and headphone jack I hardly see it being a problem. But after looking there aren't many more cases for the force that would make me want to go through the trouble honestly.
Has anyone tried spigen rugged armor case ? Love them but they are only present force. Planning to buy them and use with play ! Anyone who has tried it if can help would be great!
yes it will fit for the Moto Z, but not have hole for the headset jack

Has anybody tried this ?? How did it go ??? As I want to use my beats headphones
Will any other Moto case fit the z play? Z play does not have as many options.
I would have thought there would be more of this sort of thing.

I second this. A nice tempered glass and a bumper case is all this phone needs. One with mod support would be guaranteed to get my purchase
Don't think it is possible. The mods sit flush with the phone. The bumpers to fit right needs lips on both sides to hold onto the phone.

I ordered the 2 tone bumper from Verizon.
https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/vzw-two-tone-bumper-for-moto-z2-force-edition/
I don't care if I have to take it off to change mods at all. I just want a bumper that can work with mods.
Some one did say they shaved the plastic tab and it worked. I'll let you all know.
It works fine. I can use my battery mod and I don't see why other mods won't fit. There is a tab on the bumper that goes into the finger nail Grove on the mod. I think cutting that of would made this better but all any all it works how I want it to. Protection and mods.
The Verizon Z2 play bumpers work perfect, and with mods! Got mine today, and tried it with the speaker (jbl2), and the battery pack (Moto branded)

Do you have to take it off to change mods? Also, do you know if it works with the car dock mod?

Nope, mods change without taking off the case. I'll try it with the car mod tomorrow to make sure, but the Moto rep just messaged and said it shouldn't be a problem.

I bet there are some mods that may be affected. For example just eyeballing the Controller mod you can tell it isn't going to work. There may be others due to side of the mod.

I'm waiting for the controller mod to appear in public . Haven't seen it anywhere. But for the everyday usage, most would probably have the battery mod, speaker mod, or car mod I'm guessing. Maybe even the camera mod.
I'm gonna see if I can buy a controller mod online so I don't have to wait until it arrives in a local store.
So far though, the battery mod feels amazing with this case .

It is sold only by Verizon. They have the exclusive for God knows how long. You can order it from their website and select stores.

I have the controller mod, and I FIRMLY believe that there is zero chance that a bumper case would work with it.
The corners actually touch the controller mod, but there would be enough room all the way around the sides, top, and bottom.

I think I can live with this one not working. I'm a bit disappointed in Android gaming.
BTW do you have anything great to play at the moment?

I am a stickler for old school games. I use an emulator as well as I have purchased a lot of the retro games out there lol. I am going to get this simply because the controls I have bought or tried just doesn't do it for me. Just haven't had the time to go pick one up at Verizon if they carry them there. I just peeved Motorola made it exclusive.

It works right out of the box with all the emulators I've tried thus far, and when you install the mod's app it has a section for games you can get from the Play store (mostly free games)

I'm on the fence about the controller mod. I might just be to old for the emulators lol. I've played a lot of the classics on multiple platforms over the years. But I do love games.
I use the projector mod with my stratus XL controller... It's pretty EPIC
Amazon has a few of the Verizon bumper cases for the Z2 for about $8-12.

I use my old z force bumper on my Z2. Fits good and the extra thickness helps blend in the sides of the turbo mod. So it feels more like a z force with the Incipio mod.
I'm really, really digging the upcoming red dragon skin, but Dbrand hasn't made skins for the Z2 series, and I was wondering if the older ones would work. Anyone given it a shot?

I would assume they work.... Our phones' dimensions are the same, no?

Well, the mods fit a bit differently on the newer Zs, they are ever so slightly wobbly, for lack of a better word.

Double checked... it might not work.... dimension is roughly 1mm larger in thickness on the Z2 which means it might be just too big to fit.

That's what I was afraid of... I know Skinomi has some for this phone, but they're honestly boring IMO
Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk
They'll fit the back panel just fine, but that's about it.
I have both Z & Z2... they are (obviously) compatible with MODs dimensions, but any cover which extend to sides is *NOT* compatible at all: Z2 Force is thicker, higher & larger...
EDIT: I've just seen skins... Front & Camera ones are surely not compatible.
Back one should go fine, fitting leaving uncovered a bit of border (that is already different on stock Z2)...
Do mods still work and stay on with a skin on back?
I ordered slick wraps and they fit and work. The mod "strip" is a bit different, and the moto logo is off, but they work. I'd order it without the logo cut out. Mods still work with it and hold pretty well.
Looked on T-Mobile to see if the phone was in stock - it's not. It's on backorder until the 29th. I like the phone so much, I ordered a second one. This phone with the battery mod and JBL mod is awesome. It has its flaws, but for $375, this is a steal.

I think it depends on the store. I got my son a Moto z2 force at our local TMobile store which had a lot in stock.

Ur not the only one. I'm planning on getting a second one too. Best phone on the planet(sprint sim unlocked and rooted). I'm one happy camper I've been begging and waiting for this for years since the droid 4.
Btw if ur adding a tempered glass screen protector, I found that it fits perfectly in regular z force case due to the extra millimeter thickness. It won't fit in my z2 otterbox defender but fits nice n snug in my z force poetic revolution case.

Have a link to that case?
I tried a glass, but it chipped a few days after. I put a matte wet install on and it's perfect for my liking.

Its got a face cover and bumped edges dont think mine will crack any time soon. Already fell a couple times with 0 damage. Slippery fone/case tho.

Actually received my 2nd one yesterday. Man, this is such a great phone. I honestly can't believe its only flaw is no headphone jack.
I have no issues on this like I do my v30+. This phone's smooth, great battery, sounds great with headphones and Bluetooth. The screen has no banding and I also get no delayed texts. On top of it all, this phone should be rootable. I may try it this weekend.
I bought on for my kid last weekend. Oreo update killed the display. Spent hours with projector mod guessing on a blank screen to finally get to factory reset. Unfortunately, no joy there. Reset killed pairing with mod, so I was done at that point. Sprint replaced, no questions. Replacement seems to be rolling along fine.
Question of the day; liquid or tempered? Had liquid on original, but they were out when I got replacement.

I went tempered, it chipped in the first 3 days. Using an IQ shield now (liquid apply) and it's fantastic. Not everybody likes the matte finish though. I personally prefer it. It doesn't get oily or get fingerprints. And touch glides across it.
