The Sony Xperia 1 VI is one of the best phones in the world right now, but its currently limited availability is going to make it a hard one to get your hands on (though there are numerous resellers you can get the device from on platforms like Amazon).
However, if you’re like me and you’ll do anything to get your hands on a high-end flagship device, then you go for the Xperia 1 VI. However, considering its price and the trouble you might need to go through to get it, you’re going to want to make sure that the device is protected with a great case, so here are eight fantastic options.
Spigen Rugged Armor
$12.99
Spigen cases always bring the best blend of good pricing, sharp designs, and great protection, and this Rugged Armor case for the Sony Xperia 1 VI doesn’t change things up. It’s a TPU case with military-grade drop protection, raised edges to protect the screen and camera, and a fingerprint-resistant matter coating.
Zhayla Carbon Fiber and Vegan Leather Case
$40.99
Looking at this case, it’ll set your phone apart from the crowd with its stealthy and premium carbon-fiber and vegan leather finish. However, if you want to be different, you’re going to need to pay a rather steep price. However, besides its looks, you get a case with great grip and raised edges for screen and camera protection during drops.
Damondy Silicon Case
$9.89
If you’re the practical type of person who simply wants to protect their $1,000+ flagship device and doesn’t care about showing it off to others, then a budget-friendly case like this silicone case from Damondy might work for you. It comes in black, yellow, red, and a mint green colorway, and will protect basic protection during bumps and drops.
Foluu Clear Case
$8.99
But maybe you’re the kind of person who wants an inexpensive case but you still want to show off your smartphone. If that’s the case (pun intended), this clear case from Foluu will do a job. It’s got bolstered corners to really absorb those accidental drops and according to Foluu, it shouldn’t yellow easily — a notorious problem with clear TPU cases.
Quietip Full-Body Case
$21.99
If you’ve acknowledged that you’re a bit of a klutz, you’ll want a full-body case for protection from all angles. It’ll cover your entire device, with a metal frame and tempered glass on the front and back, and it’ll even give some extra protection to your lenses. Only the ports and fingerprint reader are exposed.
Aioria Retro Leather Case
$12.99
If you prefer simplicity with a little bit of class, this faux leather case from Aioria should tickle the right spots. Needless to say, this is vegan leather (as a genuine leather case wouldn’t be this cheap), paired with a silicone frame. You get multiple color options, though I think the black and brown look the best.
Covthch Vegan Leather Wallet Case
$9.99
You might like looking all business-like when pulling out your phone and using it. A folio/wallet case can add to that appearance. Quite naturally, they also help protect your screen from scratches and the like. Of course, they also provide a place to keep cash and cards, and this one can double as a kickstand, so its the most multifunctional on the list.
Kugew Magnetic Faux Leather Case
$17.99
If you’ve acquired a bunch of magnetic charging accessories and you’re about to switch phones, you’ll likely want to make sure your next case is compatible with them. This case will work with MagSafe accessories and other magnetic wireless chargers while still keeping your phone protected with its polycarbonate frame and faux leather backing.
Give Sony’s Shockingly Good Xperia Phone A Strong Shell
Sony changed up the formula the most that it ever has between the Xperia 1 V and the Xperia 1 VI, and in my humble opinion, that paid off pretty well. If the company keeps this up, I might just have to leave Samsung behind when it’s time to upgrade my device, but I’ll make sure it has a good case hugging it at all times.
On this list, as always, I have a soft spot for Spigen, and the Rugged Armor case would definitely be my first choice here because it won’t cost an arm and a leg and I know it is high quality. After that though, I like the transparent Foluu case. It might turn yellow at some point, but it is cheap enough to replace.
