Recently we posted an issue of Xperia Z3 Self cracking screen with a hairline crack and the Xperia Z3 Bent frame case but now Xperia Z3 back cover lifting up itself issue has been spotted. Earlier a similar kind of back cover lifting issue was spotted on Xperia Z ( for which we got a new replacement unit for our Xperia Z last year ). It is very surprising that three infamous issues found on previous Xperia flagships have already hit Xperia Z3.
An user Sophinia posted a pic of his/her Xperia Z3 at Sony Talk Forums, whose back cover is being lifted from top edge. Proper reason for this is unknown yet. It can be a manufacturer fault or can be user’s fault but nothing can be said at this moment. One of the possible reason can be excessive heat but no confirmation on that for the time being.
Xperia Z3 back cover lifting up
Check out the pic of Xperia Z3, back cover lifted at top.
What do we think ?
Before jumping to any conclusion, have a look at the below issues earlier spotted.
Xperia Z2 self cracking screen issue spotted like Xperia Z, Z1 had
Xperia Z1 Self cracking screen issue seen exactly like Xperia Z had
Xperia Z1 Screen and Body bent appears – User’s fault or Hardware issue ?
Xperia SP Frame Bent Issue appeared like Xperia Z1 – Poor Build Quality or User’s Fault ?
Xperia Z3 Self cracking screen issue appears – One of the first case spotted with a Hairline crack
NOTE : We have not seen many users reporting Xperia Z3 Back cover lifting issue neither at XDA nor at Sony Talk Forums. As it is one of the FIRST CASE that has been reported so nothing can be said at the moment whether it is manufacturing defect or user’s fault.
We do hope that this back cover lifting case doesn’t become infamous like it became for Xperia Z.

This would b bad if a large amount has this
I remember have a lift on my Xperia Z
This would be bad if a large amount had this issue!!
I remember having the same issue on my xperia Z
Same here I too got my Z replaced for the same issue
All is deliberately!!
Mine, today…My Back of Z2 is squeaking like some of adhesive problem
The back of my Sony Z3 casing had an oval shaped crack appear around the volume button last night for no reason while I was using my phone!
It also happens to my Z3.
Aqui Também acontece o mesmo problema
Teria conserto? ou somente troca
My z3 back cover is lifting by its self, from left top its as if the glue wont keep it down or something !
my Z3’s back cover lifted 3 days after I got it. I’m sending it back to be replaced.
Worse still, my z3 compact front screen is lifting interrupting phone calls and the sensor.
Had a z1 compact screen break from normal use and now this. Pick up your game Sony, your phones aren’t cheap.
I have the same problem as Daniel. Screen is lifting, making the proximity sensor not working properly, and I guess it affects the waterproof-stuff.
On my Z3 Compact I have the problem. Replaced the backcover already once. Still getting loose on the lower side. I carry the phone in my back pockets of the trousers, with a protecting case.
My guess: the surface of adhesive patch holding the backcover is far too small. Maybe a millimeter or so. As soons as the phone is warm and gets some bending tension the backcover separates.
hello i have z3 copper usig from the last 4 mnths now my front lcd display lift up dont know why . its imported not under manufacturing warrant wat to do please helps me..
Same problem here, z3 back is lifting on side opposite camera :(!
I had same problem with sony Z1 and i got sony z3 as a replacement under warranty when i send it back for repairs for the third time for same proble.
Funnily enough,after few months same happened to Sony Z3.
Back has started to unstick on my z3 compact and nearly caused me a big problem with rain. In for repair at Sony now but waiting to see what they say.
