Muvit Black Leather flip case for Xperia Z1

We have already reviewed two flip cases for Xperia Z1 from Roxfit and RockPhone CN. This case is very much similar to Xperia Z Smart Pack Flip Case by Roxfit. ( Do check it you will find a lot smiliarity in both )

Case is made up of fine leather grain like material gives you a feel of solid plastic material and back side is made up a solid plastic material. It is stitched with a white thread at its all sides front and back. No logo is embossed on front side.

Magnetic flip closer is provided to close the case automatically with a credit card slot inside the front flap. Inner lining of the case is made up of soft velvet to protect screen from any rough scratches.

All ports are easily accessible while case is on though no hearing speaker opening is provided on front flap of case which is strictly essential in a flip case. Case’s adjuster which hold the Xperia Z1 inside case are quite smooth so don’t worry about any side of your phone being scrapped by them.

Case seems a bit thick while closed. Though feel solid in hand but it’s bulky and thick. Another weird thing an opening for secondary microphone is provided at back of case but for hearing speaker is missing on front flap.

Accessibility of Ports

Perfect camera and secondary microphone opening at back flap of case. No obstruction in camera flash.

External camera shutter button well accessible.

Speaker grills at bottom also have a clear way, no obstruction.

3.5 mm headphone jack opening, check below.

SIM card slot accessibility all clear.

Unfortunately if you are thinking of putting the phone with case on Sony Dock DK31 then is’t not possible it falls easily but while case front flap is open you can use any port of Xperia Z1. Check pic blow.

Pros

• Well built, durable enough.
• Premium look.
• All ports accessible while case is on.

Cons

• Too Thick.
• Bulky.
• Not supported by Dock DK31.
