Let me answer your question this way ...
I never put any display protection foil on the X8.
Since I'm a Android user, and now allow me to pull a analogy to a iPhone related story, I'm not brain-dead enough to stuff my phone into the pockets of my pants together with the car-/house keys (was actually a story about Steve Jobs doing exactly that and then throwing a fit at the engineers because - lo-and-behold! - his iPhone had scratches; who would've thought that!?).
I only used a pouch for the X8 while I had it in any of my pockets - and the same goes for my SGS Galaxy S II ... inside a fitting pouch when running around with it.
Not a single scratch on the X8, not a single scratch on the SGS S2, not a single scratch on my tablets.
I have been using the same proctection sticker that came on it from the box and always kept it in a lether pouch witch I bought in the same place and time where I bought my phone. its been a year - only the red cover seems to loose it shining.
I used a screen protector for a month, but when it became dirty and whit that air blebs, I remove it and then I realise.. oh my screen is awesome and never back to screen protectros. My right pocket is own by my X8, nothing else.
Surpirisingly, I put my X8 in my pocket with coins and it doesn't get scratched! xD
And do you use protective foil cover?

I have a gel case for my x8. I used to have screen protector. But I took it off and realised that my phone looks better without screen protector. It is in my pocket with my wallet my keys (may I remind you I am a kid not an adult its just I got my house keys cuz I went to secondly school and I come home earlier) and maybe some coins. I don't have a scratch. I don't use any foil either

Hello, im a new xv user here, and may 1 ask about the water resistant of the xv? Do you recomended for the first time, to put the device in a bowl of water? Anyone has tried and have problem? I just want feedback, coz its still new. Im abit afraid about it.
Haha it is confirmed water resistant. Placed it underwater and it's okay with the flaps closed if course. The thing is for me, the flaps start being loose.
Humans have evolved to be smarter, but there's one thing we can't get rid off. It's human stupidity.
I got my flaps and metal rim replaced twice for free. Just a pain in the rear end to live without a phone for 2 weeks each time.

Yea. At least in Sony Singapore.The funny thing is that they only started fixing my phone after I made a complain over the phone and finished it in 2 hours. Why don't you yell at them to get them to expedite the fixing
thanks for all you reply dude.:good: ill put my device in the water as soon as i get it today! the reason why im bought this device just only for that water resistant since im a biker and the qualcomm chipset. by the way, Aaron_035 do singapore sony center sell the xv charging dock? coz here in malaysia is abit hard to find it.
If you are unsure, you can always put it in a sealable bag first before youput it in the water.
At least if the flaps are insecure that will keep it waterproof

Today I dropped my phone for the first time
The so called aluminum frame was instantly damaged and to my surprise it was paint that chipped off.
Underneath there is just a hard kind of plastic.
I looked all over the place for a replacement frame but can't find any.
Anyone else with this problem?

First of all, greetings to everyone on this forum, this is my first post here.
I have a black Xperia SP (C5303), and have the same problem. Mine dropped on the street from my hand and although was in his leather casing, somehow dropped on the only side without protection. Was very suprised when I saw that 'alumium' frame was very damaged (damage looks like on your phone) from dropping only 1+ m of height inside of a protection case. The good news is that nothing else was damaged.
The phone is great for my needs, but I'm still not convinced with quality of aluminium frame. Probably this is the price of his weight. Before had Samsung Galaxy S Advance and dropped him accidently only once but without even a scratch.
I was very upset with the damage, but because of its black color it is not as visible as on your white model, so for now I won't be searching for a replacement frame... Hopefully won't be dropping him too much.
Greetings.
Yep it happens, even when I am charging, when the charger scratches the coat on the port, the paint will be chipped off.
Luckily I bought a black one, and the problem is not so bad and visible.

Bro i thinks its chrome finish that have came out take it to the service center tell them ur prob and btw i have dropped my sp today and voila nothin happens surprised to see this thing surprise..! but this thing wouldn't happen to me..maybe its because my sp is black..and keep it carefully now bro or its will ripped off by small pressure..
Quite a disappointment. My previous sony phones where solid as a rock.
It looks easy to remove though with the two screws. What you guys think

I recommend using a good soft case like the one below.

Same problem in my Spanish SP... Shouldn't this be solved by Sony? aluminium frame is not made of aluminum, isn´t it?
I have also the same problem on my SP. is it normal?? Sony has to replace our frame with a better one.
I'm very disappointed with this ****ty paintjob, my hpone is barely 1 month old and it already got chipped paint on a several spots on the frame. I thought the frame was aluminium because every review I've read said so.... even if it wasn't aluminium, the paint shouldn't have come off so easily. i read sony used water-based paint, maybe that's why.
Welp broke the screen on my second phone now. Man if you drop these phones on the corner, the screen Is guaranteed to break. Anyone else have a similar experience? I do have a case on these phones by the way.
ive been lucky, dropped mine a few times and its still good, case is pretty beat up but rather it be beat up than the phone.
That sucks man! I guess I have a good case, I've dropped mine a bunch.....first few times I kinda freaked, now nothing happens, and I pick it up! Sorry for your loss.

actually no not at all.. dropped this guy many many times and have a couple chips in the metal but the screen is fine. Even the other day im running on a tredmill and flap my headphone wire with my arms as im running.. it fell on the belt i kicked it and it still was fine.
hahah
I have a Otterbox Commuter on mine, and it has seen the concrete floor at work several times without consequence. Invest in a better case.
I spilled bong water on mines and my girl scratched it a little with my keys over top speaker other than that no drop damage and trust it's seen it's fair share. #TOUGH

Yea even a thin case around the phone will prevent this from happening - it will absorb a lot of impact since its a compressible material...
basically w/o a case if u drop it on the front corners it will likely crack the screen
This is because the impact is abosorbed by the metal- which will not compress, it will just push all the force down to the glass screen and crack it.. if they just had a little bit of rubber or plastic between the metal and the glass it would alleviate the impact enough so that the screen wont crack as easily.
I power slammed my phone and the screen broke. HTC makes crappy phones. I'm buying a iPhone

Yes, I showered it, soaped it, shampoo it, took underwater pics, took it underwater
And nothing went wrong
Safely take your phone underwater
If anything goes wrong, I personally replace my Z1 by yours!!
Perfect for a quick porn in the shower
Here is my shoot with Xperia Z1 underwater (Sea water).
Those are my nephew excited to have underwater picture with my phone
There is no damage on my phone, no malfunction, everything is perfect. Camera is not fogged and etc.
I wash it in clear water after using it in sea, and you only need to let it dry about 20minutes to speaker gets dry so i can play music.
You can listen music moment you pull it out of water, but its dimmed because of water.
Took mine in the pool, works perfect no issues. I was super nervous but glad I did. Love this phone.

If the break is just on the screen and it's just on the surface, it's still water proof
For example, using knife instead of pen, cracks your screen but it's still water proof
But if the screen is broken, for example fell from 10th floor, so it's no more water proof
Sorry for my bad English and bad telling
I wish you got my mean
Otherwise, I can tell you in another way

I wouldn't risk it with your screen like that tbh...
That's just my opinion though
I wouldn't risk it either. If water enters the phone and it breaks, it won't be covered by the warranty as Sony would blame it on the cracked screen and they would propably be right!
