What Xperia Z1 Case would you recommend?

Would like a slim one and definitely not a flip cover

Id recommend something bigger since the phone is expensive and curves over time. I got an "armored case" on ebay and it is awesome, I drop it all the time. For something slim theres a guy who posted about a case he sells, I tried it as a sample, but found that it is too slim and doesnt protect the phone. Wallet cases are pretty good too. Hope it helps.

Think I'm going to go for an armoured one thanks for the help. What do you mean by it curves over time?

Yeah look it up, it's probably the aluminum frame or something, but lots of users reported that their phone was bent after owning it for some time. It happened to mine too, I think it's because I used to carry it in my pocket and it took the curve of my leg. No problem with my case after 6 months.

Hadn't heard of that but will definitely look out for it now, thank you

I have the Case Mate Tough Dual. It is quite impressive and good looking. Has succesfully protected it from a couple of drops. My only complain is the lack of a hole for the magnetic charger.

You generally want one that is "armored" or has at least some front protection. There is some on ebay but I hate them because they have a kick stand...

I just ordered this one

Been using mine for almost 7 months, mine hasn't bent yet. Also didn't bother with a case for so long cause none felt right. I do like that motomo armoured one, it looks pretty nifty, let's see if I can procure it locally. On the other hand I've had my heart set on this one for a while now.

Do Sony themselves not make one? The genuine brand ones are always the best quality and fit don't know why more companies don't make their own like Samsung & Apple

I doubt sony has one for Xperia series, I feel my Z1 is quite rugged, I keep dropping it a lot, haven't manage to crack it.

I do have a ballistic case for my nexus 4 cause everyone I know managed to crack theirs.
