The Xperia Z is undoubtedly Sony’s best looking smartphone to date, and many will be looking for the best Sony Xperia Z case to keep it protected and looking good. We’ve drawn up our top 5 Sony Xperia Z case list before the official release of the phone, so all of these cases are announced or available at the release date.
Official Sony Xperia Z Bumper

Having an official product is a big thing for a lot of people. Many look to official – or officially licensed products, as with this bumper – for high quality that matches their device. Manufactured by Sony’s official case manufacturer Roxfit, this bumper (Sony part number SMA9127B) is one of the most well-thought-through bumpers that we’ve had chance to review.
Whilst the bumper is available in a few different colours, all have a similar theme. We took a look at the black bumper, but it is actually only the very edges that are coloured; the rest is completely clear allowing you to see the original beauty of the phone at all times. Bumpers help to protect corners and edges without adding a lot of bulk or weight to your phone, but they can sacrifice protection; something Roxfit have looked to do by including both a screen and a rear protective film to give full body coverage.
The Sony Xperia Z bumper helps keep the device slim, and still leaves easy access to all of the ports and features.

Case-Mate Barely There Sony Xperia Z Case

If you are looking for the slimmest case possible for your Sony Xperia Z, you won’t need to look much further than the Case-Mate Barely There. Whilst it won’t give amazing protection should you drop it from a significant height, this is an ideal case for those looking to keep their Xperia Z free from scratches and scrapes whilst sliding it in and out of pockets or using it around the house.
Finished with cut-outs for all of the ports, features and buttons on the Xperia Z, the Barely There earns its place on this best Xperia Z case list for its slimness and matte finish that feels great to hold.

Case-Mate Tough Case for Sony Xperia Z

A second entry for Case-Mate in this best Xperia Z case list, this time with something a little different; the Case-Mate Tough case.
Offering significantly more protection than the Barely There, the Tough case comes in two parts that attach around the phone to help give the best coverage possible. The textured matte finish of the case adds grip and makes using the phone extremely comfortable too. This case also has a significant lip protruding from the sides meaning that if you dropped the phone face first, it should steer clear of any lasting damage.
Perfectly formed to fit the device, this Sony Xperia Z rugged case will leave easy access to every aspect of your phone.
This is without doubt one of the best Sony Xperia Z cases, giving an ideal blend of sleek design, high protection level and not too much bulk.

Muvit Qi Wireless Charging Case

A really unique product now, another ‘Made for Xperia’ officially licensed case, this protective solution will ensure that your Sony Xperia Z stays charged for much longer.
Whilst the case itself won’t charge your phone, it has an electromagnetic field and inductive coupling which allows compatibility with a Qi wireless charging pad. Why is this special you may ask? Well, that’s because the Xperia Z doesn’t even support Qi charging as standard. Now it does!
The case has full body protection with its front cover whilst still allowing access to all of the ports thanks to cut-outs.
