Loving my Z3c, got it off Orange on Tuesday, 6 working days from order to delivery, so I guess I can count myself lucky there.

Having read the reviews regarding the screen cracks, does anyone know where to get a screen protector for the back of the phone? Orange does not include a protector in the box so I had to buy one for the front but no one knows about a protector for the back. I have the phone in a rubber bumper case for protection but I'd prefer something on the back glass panel too just to make extra sure.

Would prefer something from a walk in store in CT before I go the online route.

If you are really desperate you can use a front protector also for the back (and use the bumper case as a guide to do a cutout for the back camera lens)

GPS navigation + charging + cover = very very hot phone.

Gf bought me a cover that is rubber on the edges of the pphone but clear plastic on the back if that'll suit you?

I'm sure he won't mind if your girlfriend buys him a cover.

Guys, im currently getting ~6 hours of screen on time, with most services enabled permanently.

Anyone wants to share their current settings configuration and associated battery life? :eek:

I think this is one of the only phones that doesnt need to be optimised to death to get some decent battery life, ie greenify, brightness on 10%, etc. I have the regular Z3, and my battery life is awesome, apparently the compact is even better!

And with lollipop on the way sometime this month, it should be even better! Can't wait

Roight!

Mind is made up - Z3.C will be making it's way to me by hook or by crook.

[-]I remember a thread (might even be this one - but can't find it now) where people where chatting about getting covers and magnetic cables.[/-] - it is in this thread

If you did and have any spare covers/mag cables can you let me know please - I'll definitely be needing them.

:D
