I'm after a decent phone case for my Sony Xperia Z.
Ideally would love an Otterbox Defender, but alas 'they' don't make one for a Sony (yet)... (talking of Otterbox, anyone else had the devils own job trying to actually get hold of them? or sending them an email? I try to fill in the online questionaire form and it doesn't work properly ![]() anyway, anyone got any good suggestions? I want more than just a rubber outer skin that costs 99p delivered from Hong Kong, Was looking at the Case-Mate, which seems similar (although not as tough?) as the Otterbox. Someone suggested to me today the RoxFit, but these just seem to be a leather fold open type case (like i've got now) or the cheapo gel type. Any ideas? |

Or purchase a Nokia and you don't need a case at all!

I was waiting for just that comment from you Walford!! ![]() ![]() ![]() Some of us can't help being "setters", not "followers".... ![]() ![]() That survivor case looks the dogs danglies doesn't it? bit like the Otterbox. I just pinged them an email to see if they do a Sony one.... would seem all these companies are behind the curve when it comes to offering cases for the super duper xperia... ![]() ![]() |

Lifeproof for me. Fully waterproof, = dust proof. But don't know if they make for your model phone.

I have an Otterbox on my HTC and it has been excellent. I also have a Sonim rugged phone which has served me well for years, and has survived many drops, immersions, Swarfega washes, and even being chewed by a wolf! It is the only phone I know that has survived the latter form of attack (iPhones certainly don't) but I appreciate that it isn't an everyday risk for most people.

I have had tech21 D30 cases for my Galaxy S4 & S4mini and they are fantastic. Have dropped the phone on concrete a few times with no damage. Only problem is (as with most cases) make the phone a lot more bulky. But I find the tech21 case helps prevent the phone slipping out of your hand.
