Sony xperia z3 compact sim card flap cover

152bobby — Mon, 24 Aug 2015 19:09:54 GMT

Can anyone in the UK point me in the right direction on where I can Find a GENUINE, not a copy, Sony sim card flap cover for my white Xperia Z3 Compact?

My original one is knackered, to be honest, very poor quality for such a premium brand phone, especially when Sony know that we have to open and close it every time it needs charging (I don't use the magnetic contacts for charging).

Thanks

Thanks for the advice, I had already looked on Amazon (no genuine ones to be found).

Contacted Sony Repair.....NO WAY on this planet am I sending my phone to them for such a small item, which could easily be sent to me.

I have found a couple of genuine ones on ebay, arriving tomorrow.

Bought a couple, as I know the flap will will again eventually.

My new flap arrived yesterday via a ebay seller. Came as a sony genuine set, so two flaps supplied.

Fits tight and perfectly just like the flap was when the phone was new out of the box.

If you do buy these from a non sony source, just be sure they are genuine sony flaps.

Hi there. Just wondering if you could recommend the eBay seller you found? I cant find any genuine Sony replacements. Many thanks, Vanessa

I think it must have been a one off sale from the seller, as I got the only pair he had.

I had a quick look on eBay and can't see any GENUINE SONY flaps.

I suggest you could try a after market pair, they may work fine, or contact SONY Support and see if they will sell you a pair, however, when I tried it, they wanted me to send my phone to them !!

I have since sold my Z3c and now have a Z5c , which does not have a flap over the charging port thank goodness.

Search on eBay for item number 201474594490.

This seller is stating GENUINE PART.

I would contact them to verify if they really are SONY parts before buying.

Good luck.
