Shameless lack of accesories for Xz Premium

After weeks of searching for a decent complete protection and failed miserably, I decided to build one personalized for myself. As all of you may have noticed, Apple has millions of accesories and protective case options and Samsung keeps up.

Except for that weird lovemei rugged case, I could not find ONE decent, nicely looking and permanent protection for this gorgeous phone. 

I needed something really tough and slim to withstand accidental drops, a flexible glass screen protector without the ghost effects on the edges and finally a book type case comprising all of the above features. This is IMPOSSIBLE to find. Sony cases will not protect the sides of the phone or the top and bottom, Nillkin makes good cases but lacks complete protection,etc.

So I ordered a Terrapin leather book type case and I carefully removed the cheap interior rubber where the phone snaps in. I bought a rugged Spiegen case with corner air cushion technology and I double adhesive taped them together. Thus I obtained the BEST protection possible and the looks are gorgeous.

But the screen needed special care. After also failing miserably to find a good screen glass protector without the ghost effect around the edges of the screen, I finally found the best one, called FlexiGlass  made in Romania, indeed made of glass which somehow CAN be bent without cracking. I tried one just for the kicks of it and it broke off extremely difficult, being indeed made of glass.

So, now I'm satisfied. Complete screen protection with NO ghost effects, perfect all around cushioning thanks to Spiegen and best looks thanks to Terrapin real leather flip.

If somebody needs more details, I'll be happy to oblige.

Where did you get the screen protector from? Link?

Did not understand your description of it, but I would like to see formyself.

What did it cost?

If sony produce good quality protective 3D glasses like Nillkin to protect front and back of XZ Premium I would buy it.

I am using a KELEDES leather case (book type) that offers fantastic allround protection...has a clip to keep the front closed incase of accidently dropping it, quality hand stitched black leather...very much like the Stilgut cases. Dont use a screen protector but have a thin rear protector fitted just to keep dirt/dust/grit from getting inbetween the case & the back Smiling_Face_with_Sunglasses

To clear it up, I bought a total 4 items. The screen protector from above, a Terrapin leather book type case and a Spiegen armor rugged case.

I gently  unstuck  the original snap on case from the Terrapin and I used double sided adhesive tape to fix the Spiegen case inside the leather Terrapin covers.

On the back I used an ordinary plastic 3M dedicated back screen protector. 

If somebody wants pictures, leave your email and I will be happy to send them. 😇

Just FYI all Docomo shops have cases made by Sony for XZ premium,

and both Bic Camera and Yodabashi have tons of screen protectors and cases, etc.

They also ship globally.
