[ REVIEW ] Sony Xperia Z1 Side Flip Case from RockPhone CN

Xperia Z1, the best of Sony for the best of you and to protect it you need a good premium case, the one which covers it at most delicate locations and opens up space at appropriate locations. The hunt for best Sony L39h / Xperia Z1 case in on and now  we will be publishing a series of reviews for various types of Xperia Z1 cases present in the market. The first case we feature today is from RockPhone CN, it’s a side flip case ( or you can say a book flip case ).

RockPhone CN sent us this Xperia Z1 side flip case as a review sample unit. It costs almost 20$ or Rs 1099 is purchased from India, ships worldwide, normally from Hong Kong but have various distributors across many countries so they get it for you. We got it delivered by GoLifeStyleRetail in India.

It fits perfectly in Xperia Z1 C6902/3/6 and Xperia Z1 L39h, available in 4 colors viz. Blue, Yellow, Orange and Black though White and Purple are missing from the list, we wonder why so.!

Let’s have a look at the detailed review of Xperia Z1 side flip case from RockPhone.

[ Review ] Xperia Z1 side flip case from RockPhone

Xperia Z1 side flip case from RockPhone comes in a cream-white plastic-glass case, covering looks good. At the top right corner it is written “for Sony Xperia Z1 / L39h”.

Back of cover lists some of the specifications in Chinese and the distributors details.

On the front side of case, “RockPhone” logo is embossed in metal casing, read as “Unique Designed by ROCK”. Front black side has a texture similar to wooden and back with a tough hard translucent plastic.

Xperia Z1 Side Flip case from RockPhone - Front Side

Inner side of flap which comes over the display screen has soft lining on surface, which has got dirty after usage of month by us, you can check below the pic.

Xperia Z1 Side Flip case from RockPhone - Front Side

Check the Xperia Z1 Side Flip Case from RockPhone’s view from all sides. 3.5 mm headphone jack, all buttons like power button, volume rocker button and dedicated camera button are well accessible.

SIM card slot area is not accessible as it has a plastic case covering on it which is also present on all 4 corners of phone protecting like a bumper case also. Though USB Port slot and MicroSD card slot with magnetic charging area is clearly accessible and is not covered with any plastic covering.

Well it is one of the cases we have seen which is a flip case also and magnetic charging port is not covered and is accessible which is a plus point in rating this case. You can use EC21 magnetic charging cable to charge your Xperia Z1 while case in on, We haven’t tried it putting on Dock DK31 while case in on.

Xperia Z1 Side Flip Case from RockPhone - Accessibility

As many people reports that many flip case’s camera opening is coming between the sensor and sometimes obstructs the flash LED, well have a look at the camera opening area of this case.

Pros

  • Very Light Weight.
  • All ports are accessible ( except SIM card ).
  • Proper space for ear speaker on front flap of cover.
  • Price Worth.
  • Durable.

Cons

  • After opening front flap of case, it remains open as very light weight.
  • Case looses on corner sides after rugged usage.

Overall case is very handy, we are still using it as it is one of the cases in market from which you can access magnetic charging port while case in on.

 Thanks RockPhone for sending us this, if you are looking to have it, check the Xperia Z1 flip case product listing.

Let us know about your Xperia Z1 case which you are using on your Xperia Z1, what you like most, flips case or back case or you like to have your Xperia Z1 naked, drop your comments…

[ REVIEW ] PDair Xperia SP Rubberized Back Hard Cover

In our previous post we reviewed Xperia Z1 Leather vertical pouch case from PDair and this time we have brought your another accessory for review. This time we are reviewing PDair Xperia SP Rubberized Back Hard Cover. Xperia SP one of the most beautiful phone by Sony Mobile when it comes to looks. To protect such a beauty you need to put one some protective case. Let’s start with this rubberized back cover.

PDair sent us Xperia SP Rubberized Back Hard Cover as a review sample unit, decently priced at $9.99, ships from Hong Kong. They ship world wide without any cost, available in black color.

[ REVIEW ] PDair Xperia SP Rubberized Back Hard Cover

The main issue about any Rubberized Back Hard Cover is the quality of material used in making it. And as usual PDair has used finest material in making it.

PDair Xperia SP Rubberized Back Hard Cover is flexible enough and durable enough to sustain any wear and tear marks.

Let’s have a look at naked cover shell.

PDair Xperia SP Rubberized Back Hard Cover Review

Perfect openings at all points, so that no obstruction is there in accessing any ports on Xperia SP. Perfect cuts in the case for camera opening, external speaker and flash light.

PDair Xperia SP Rubberized Back Hard Cover

Proper spot available for USB port.

3.5mm headphone jack port opening.

PDair Xperia SP Rubberized Back Hard Cover

The one thing which we saw missing in the PDair Xperia SP Rubberized Back Hard Cover is that no opening is there for back portion of illumination bar. Illumination bar is the main attractive thing on Xperia SP and any back cover should 100% flaunt it.

You can clean the cover with a piece of wet cloth, overall it’s a nice case. Don’t expect it to protect your phone from falls.

Pros

  • Hard and flexible material made.
  • All ports of phone accessible.
  • Firm Grip

Cons

  • Back portion of illumination bar is hidden.

Thanks PDair for sending this in, if you are looking to buy it, head to PDair Xperia SP Rubberized Back Hard Cover product listing.

[ Review ] Mugen Power 3000mAh Battery Case for Sony Xperia Z

Sony Xperia Z, the first and the most reputed member of Sony Xperia Z family, the then flagship of Sony launched during CES 2013 boosted sales of Sony Mobiles a lot. Everything about Sony Xperia Z is great, from its 5″ 1080p full HD screen with Mobile Bravia Engine 2 and it’s water and dust resistance ability. Being an Xperia Z C6602 user, I am totally satisfied with Xperia Z performance overall but one thing that bothers me is the non removable 2330mAh battery inside it. It is certainly not enough for Xperia Z, it’s full HD display withdraws a lot of battery juice while screen is on. Usually you will find your Xperia Z lasting for around 13 hours on 3G talktime, 6-7 hours of video playback and web browsing. So if you are not near the charging slot, you might think twice to play video on it. I don’t watch to many videos on my Xperia Z but certainly browse internet a lot on it. So to keep my Xperia Z display a lot longer I came across “Mugen Power 3000mAh Battery Case for Sony Xperia Z”. If you are looking for some additional battery power for your Xperia Z1, this is the best one we have got.

Mugen Power is the leading name when it comes for battery replacement for your phone. As Xperia Z has non removable battery so to provide much longer battery juice they came up with 3000mAh Battery Case for Sony Xperia Z. It is just like another regular back cover but much more advanced and can supply massive 3000mAh battery power to your Xperia Z in addition to original 2330mAh battery power of Xperia Z.

Mugen Power 3000mAh Battery Case for Sony Xperia Z blends in very well with the phone. The lower portion of the case is bit heavy as where the battery plate is situated while the upper portion is light in weight. Case has well openings for every port and flaps on the phone.

So how much time will this case back up your Xperia Z ? You must be thinking for now…

  • While charging our Xperia Z from 60-100% battery, it took around 2 Hours 20 minutes and only 25% battery was left in Mugen Power 3000mAh Battery Case for Sony Xperia Z.
  • While charging our phone via AC Adapter it usually takes around 2 Hours 10 minutes to charge it fully and the battery temperature usually lies around 31 degree Celsius but charging via Mugen Power 3000mAh Battery Case, the back of phone gets heated up to 40 degree Celsius while the case discharges from 100 – 50% and after that temperature dropped to 35 degree Celsius.

Update :- Heating issue is solved at the plant 🙂

Pros

  • Durable. It my seem bulky to some users, but 3000mAh case has to be logically.
  • Easy to use.
  • Price worth.
  • Battery back up sufficient if charging from low 10%.

Cons

  • Too much time taken to charge the case.
  • Phone heats up during charging.

Thanks Mugen Power for sending us Mugen Power 3000mAh Battery Case for Sony Xperia Z for review 🙂 Recommended product.

Mugen Power 3000mAh Battery Case is also compatible with Docomo Xperia Z SO-02E version and is of great use if you travel a lot then it is wise to have an alternate power source for your phone and with this case you get some additional hours on your Xperia Z. As now Xperia Z1 battery results have come up and they didn’t impress many users a lot, we are expecting a much better battery power case like this for Xperia Z1 also from Mugen Power.

If you have used this case and wants us to add us something in above review, drop your comments and let us know your review on it…
