Hi. At the beginning sorry for my english I hopy you understand what I mean.

I noticed in my Xperia V - this special layer which cover back of mobile phone is started to tear off .. Has anyone else encountered this glitch ? I must admit I'm so disappointed about that.

I have seen few threads regarding same problem on Xperia T/TX black color. I guess it depends on the uses( hand sweat , environment exposure and maybe unit(s) manufacturing problem). it has been the consideration factor when choosing between black and white, white will have smooth finish free of rubber but with chrome bezel risk of tear and wear. Black bezel is rather safe but with rubber back prone for wear. I guess u would have to find replacement or use a case or cover to prevent further spread of the tear. its just my personal opinion. Or go back to sony store and see what they can do

Sorry to hear this.

I recommend that you contact your local Sony Xperia support (http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/) in this case to see how they can assist you.

My Xperia V is 3 weeks old and I also have the same problem.

The rubber has started to peel off at the bothom of the phone shell.

I dont wear or tear on the phone exessably, the rubber is still peeling off.

Poor quality Sony!
