the case is made of 2 units: the inner one is the rubberised shockproof bumper which surround the whole of the screen and back, and the outer hardened plastic to fully protect the back. full info are here: http://www.case-mate.com/Sony-Xperia-Z-Cas...Tough-Cases.asp

i had a flipcase before that, but there isn't a bumper around the screen so if by any chance the phone fell directly right on the screen (while the case 'flipped open'), the screen would shatter. heh, that's my opinion la, thus my decision to get the tough case.

Guys, does this Sony Xperia Z crack easily?

Let's say if I put it into my tight jeans, will the back glass crack easily?

just sharing..
last month i sent my xperia z for repair.

first i notice that sometime i cannot hear what the other person on the phone is saying. i thought line problem but , after asking people around me and calling my service provider, seems like i am the only one having the problem. it become more frequent after some time. confirm the internal speaker is faulty when i can hear using loudspeaker during call. still work sometime after restart and light knock on the phone back. 

but i didn't send my phone for repair asap as i got no time and i know it will take long time . then another problem arise, my phone reception become poor. keep losing signal, and become worst the next day. can only receive signal when i move close enough to communication tower. of course my phone become hot and battery drain become super fast because its trying hard to get connection.

then only i send my phone for repair and it took me 6 weeks to receive it back. i hope no more problem after this, my warranty only left 2 weeks. 

direct call to xperia care MY and talk to their staff.. they will open case to u and investigate and solve it asap..
