I bought the Xperia Z soon after it came out and loved it. That was until the rubber seals on the flaps of the phone perished and rendered the phone no longer waterproof. On top of that as the rubber seals have come off the flaps don't close now and are just open. I was really sad when I realised this well couldn't do anything as you cant buy the seals anywhere. This only happened recently and cant replace the phone as don't have the money. BIg Bummer. Just wanted to let everyone this so they know that any seals on any phone that are constantly used will eventually perish. Would really love this new phone and the best thing about this phone is the glass/aluminium design and construction. I prefer this approach rather than the curved aluminium design of the HTC One and the plastic design of the Samsung Galaxy S5. Also the 20 meg camera is a BIG additional plus.
