The Almighty Z5!

[Rashkae]

But not much options in local stores mah...

Even in my area at Boon Lay market, got a lot!

that roxfit shell looks ugly as hell.

i don't think Xperia phones were ever meant to be put in casings... so sexy looking it deserves to be naked, but maybe with a bit of protection, like Ringke Fusion or a nice bumper

 

[otaku7]

Which ones did you buy, and how's the quality for the price that you paid?


I see quite a bit of options in Aliexpress and Taobao.

the seller is called "Finer". quality no different from my precious ones. quite good and smooth for the protector. the think clear case is flexible and just nice. shipped from Guangzhou.

Sent from Sony E6653 using GAGT

Under softbank it's still call Z5.

Under Docomo it's call SO-01H.

Not recommend this if u are using Nfc to connect to ur device. The hair-line plate will shield off the NFC of the phone.

Yup. Tried upon reading this. Really no NFC reading established.

sorry i know this is a z5 thread.

personally the design has improved a lot. Z5 only has one flap and it's very secure.

also i agree. some of the fanboy(s) can be very scary but just buy what you believe is the best for yourself!

just a heads up http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/09/10/sony-changes-stance-on-waterproof-phones-do-not-use-underwater/

Also Swimming pool =/= fresh water.

 

[xolatw]

[fre3dom85]

I've seen kasia selling at 818. I guess you can use it as a guide

I mean yes I read the specs "A device with an IP68 rating is tested with continuous immersion in fresh water to depths of 1.5m for up to 30 minutes. Sony’s new language on the waterproofing abilities of its Xperia devices suggest that despite this IP68 certification, Sony is not confident in how you may use the phone, potentially causing water damage and thus having to repair the phone under warranty. "


I used it in plain tap water, for far far less than time frame and water depth. I didn't even use it. just left it there for a few mins. put it this way, water is conductive and randomly triggers buttons and icons while the screen is on so it's really pointless to use underwater unless it's video recording.

and yes I made sure the flaps are closed but it still failed.



I forgot to mentioned that the z5's flap seems to be more secure. tighter? and seems to be slightly lower (depressed?)

yes the fanboys damn jialat 1. kenna flamed before just for detailing my experiences and telling me there are improvements so should be better, like insinuating z1 got flaws just that they refuse to admit
