hi, new xperia z1 user here. Switch from htc one and s4.
my first Xperia. my next phone absolutely will be Xperia
can anyone suggest me a good and attractive hard casing.
been looking for a while, havent see attractive case yet
i have used 3 hard back casing on my z1: Krusell, casemate and aixuan
Krusell: very slim and fit perfectly onto the phone. dropped the phone couple of time on tar road with this case, but everything still ok! no scratch or crack! i like the design as when viewed it straight on, it covers both sides of the phone, making it looks more balance. the sides are also more "extended", giving better protection on the screen. no problem using the charging dock with this case as i have modified my charging dock abit. quality wise felt abit more plastic than the other 2, but still ok. But only major setback is the opening on the power button, this case have a protruding "ring" around the power button, making it very difficult to press the power button.
casemate: thickest among the 3... felt solid but fitting not so good as i can feel abit loose on the top left corner (maybe just i got a bad case, i dunno). i like the soft rubbery feel of this case but somehow fingerprint are most visible on this casing among the 3. the side are of almost same level as the screen, meaning no protection at all on the screen. if u place your phone face down, most probably u'll be scratching your screen on the table.
aixuan: cheapest but surprising, this case is of very good fitting on my phone (i think the best of the 3) and very good quality. i also like the soft rubbery feel of this casing just like casemate. thickness is between krusell and casemate. only downside of this casing is (like casemate), because of all the opening for the ports, when viewed straight on the case looks unbalance on the side
