The Verge<\/em> recently published their review<\/a> of Sony’s latest flagship phones: the Xperia Z5 and Z5 Compact. The review is broadly positive, but reviewer Vlad Savov does mention one big weakness: the glass back of the phone. It sure looks nice, but it’s also easily scratched or cracked; he ended up with a long crack<\/a>\u00a0not by dropping it from a great height, but just “an incautious plopping of the phone on my bedside table.”<\/p>\n

He continues (emphasis ours):<\/p>\n

What worries me more, though, is the outpouring of stories from current and former Xperia Z owners saying that they\u2019ve had similar problems. Cracked or shattered glass backs are actually a recurring issue with Sony\u2019s devices, and the only reason we haven\u2019t heard more about them, I imagine, is the relatively low sales volume of these handsets and their absence from the most demanding US market… A case or some other protective measure would seem advisable for future Xperia Z5 owners.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you are picking up an Xperia Z5 or Z5 Compact, then you may want to check out our range of cases via the links below. We have a nice spread available, from thin and light cases to more robust and protective options. Our FlexiShield cases are a good example of the former, with a slim gel build, while the ArmourDillo case is a good heavy-duty option.<\/p>\n
