I will get insurance through Virgin as that is my provider, but it’s a pain in the arse to have to do that if it breaks.
I like the idea of a small phone and feel a case, especially a flip cover one, makes it bigger than I’d like. The whole waterproof thing I feel is great, but not so much if the rest of the phone isn’t robust. I don’t tend to throw my phone about so a drop is usually rare, and the smashed screen isn’t unexpected when you drop it onto a road, landing at an angle.
There is some history of the whole Xperia range cracking, but that also seems to be limited to those manufactured 2014 Week 36-38.
I’m just after some actual UK users who might use their phone like me.
One a slightly different note, how does the whole phone feel like to touch? Slippy due to the glass back?
