Sony Z3

Ah ok. How robust are the seals? Could you use it in surf?

I think you should consider a GoPro with a Surfboard Mounts instead. I wouldn't recommend holding this while in the ocean. Its not grippy enough, or robust enough to handle knocks and sea sand scratches.

Please let me know where you find one. I can only find charging docks.

I ordered a one from mobilefun along with a few other stuff. A few mates threw in their iPhone accessories orders too, so we splitting the ridonkulous delivery charge.

Did I say that, I don't think I said that... I have a gopro but it's nice to have options, photos off and posting them is a bit of a ballache.

The IP67 rating means it can handle Fresh Water for short periods. But I'd keep it out of the surf - the salt water will destroy the seals.

I asked them yesterday if they have stock and they said: "We are hoping that this item comes in the beginning of December. We do ship to Cape Town. Deliveries take with standard 8-15 business with DHL around 3 business days."

How do you turn on the red underline spell checker, it's disabled on mine and you can't turn it on.

I've turned off predictive text, I hate that.

Received mine today. Its a NFC-enabled case that gets "glued" to the back of your phone. I though it would be easily removable, but it doesn't look like it. hmmmm...

I was wondering how it is attached to the back. Can it come off?

How long did they take to send it to you from placing order? I'm worried about scratching mine so I've left the sticker in the back so long but it's starting to look crap.

I saw on a Youtube video there is some kind of attachment for the magnetic charging but they didn't expand on that. Did it come with something extra?

Ah I see DHL 2-3 days at R247. Got myself a magnetic charging cable as well so no need to open the ports. Total R1,057. Ouch, but this is such a nice device it deserves to stay in mint condition. My flip cover on my Note 2 kept it in good condition for ages.

I haven't attached it yet. Its peel-off-sticker type of attachment. The NFC triggers the Style Cover theme to download. Its pretty neat from the little that I played with it.

I placed the order 2 weeks back. I ordered 8 items. Half my order came last week after 6 days via DHL Express. That delay seemed to be due to local customs inspection. The cover was dispatched on Friday and arrived at my office this morning at around 9am. 3 more items outstanding. But you pay one express fee, even if it comes in multiple batches

Its just a holder/adpater so that it fits into the magnetic charging dock with the cover on.

Thanks Hempiz. Order has been placed.

Got mine on Monday! Got it through Orange and quite happy with it so far.

Never had a phone with front facing speakers before, they are quite a nice addition, though hearing a friends HTC One (m7), the HTC did sound better, but the Sony does sound waaaay better than the Note 3 I had.
