I use this type here on all my Sony phones as I don't like the flappy bit you find on others plus the fit is at the top and bottom not the other type that feels like you have to rip it out the case meaning applying force which I aint to fond of doing

I use Roxfit Gel Shell nice case, but I've already sent a couple back due to really heavey scratching on the plastic rear of the case (already scratched when you remove from the box) really poor show by Roxfit, I'm waiting on a one from Amazon i purchased yesterday, hopefully its not from the same batch as the scratched ones or that will be sent back to.

It won't fit in the DK32 with the case on.

The phone and case fit in my Mofi pouch perfectly.

I have joined this thread as I have a leather book style case for my Z1c but sometimes I would prefer a pouch/slip in type case but have had three different ones bought online and they all appear to be a fraction too short as the top of the handset seems to stick out slightly. I would prefer the cover to be a little bit longer.

Has anyone any ideas or know of a slip in pouch one which would fit the bill?

I fitted a short wrist strap (as used with compact cameras, etc) to the lanyard fixing hole on the bottom right hand corner of the phone and then purchased this (in my opinion) excellent slip-in case from Amazon - Just search Amazon UK for:

"Juju Village PU Leather Pull Tab Slip Pouch Protective Cover Case for Sony Xperia Z1 Compact Various Colours (Black)"

I put my phone into the pouch upside down, so the loudspeaker is exposed and it is easy to pull the phone out using the wrist strap.

I personally far prefer this arrangement to making the phone "permanently" larger by using a fixed case or shell-type (bumper) case, etc.

Thanks J2014 for sharing, I have ordered one of those cases from Amazon and thought your wrist strap idea was a good one too. Even if the case is not deep enough, at that price I can't complain.

Hi 2014, I sent for the juju case/pouch and sadly I found italso to be too short as the handset sticks out of the top as it did with previous cases I have had. It is a shame as it is a good quality but might come in useful for something else.

I have found a similar case which fits better and thought I would share in case anyone is are interested: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00HQID9MK/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm using this 'snap on' case from Elecom. Its works with the magnetic dock DK32.
