First of all I have to say, the real leather cover looks very sophisticated and high quality! Visually it is very beautiful and I would so buy again at any time. The seams are meticulously crafted and stable. The protective effect on the cell phone is good! Repeated drops the sheath has excellent intercepted - even without being damaged! The last fall was about from chest height to granite floor. Positive to be highlighted is the fact that all the important things, such as SD card slot, control buttons, etc. can be easily accessed. The shell does not disturb it! The magnets used hold the shutter so that an unintentional opening is not possible. However, here is also a weak point! The closure is already, after about four months a torn and on several occasions I had to glue the cover for the second magnet for! The original bond has failed after only three weeks, which I would describe as poor quality. The cover has now some scratch marks. Next is negative significant that the envelope the Z3 can be very unwieldy when it comes to photography and filming. Here, the Z3 is suddenly twice as high / wide and that bothers after all. During a telephone conversation and other playing around, however. Plus. In addition, here comes directly next problem: the photo flash. The cut-out for camera lens and flash of light is too narrow elected, thereby reflecting the light of the envelope when the flash fires and scattered into the camera lens. This gives a lot of pictures taken with flash, an extremely disturbing frosted glass effect the images can be unusable. The next big issue is the danger of scratches for the phone back! Between plastic holder and cell phone back accumulates over time dust and dirt, the leaves by just typical movements any marks! If I am not a protector could applied on the back of Z3 also, I could have stayed there now many unsightly scratches.
Conclusion: I value good impact protection and great looks, both gives me this envelope. But do I also value the fact that I can use the phone without restriction. And this provides this Case not when it comes to make the images or you want to just look out of your pants discreetly at the clock. Admittedly, the latter I already knew before buying. Mention should find it but. In addition, the closure is processed cheaply and without the additional protective film I would now scratches on the cell phone, which represent not only unsightly but also a loss in value. Again I would buy this Case, as it is definitely not. For the sake of appearance but already. Fall protection, appearance and actual processing are excellent though the latter with deficiency. Four stars I forgive here.
