Proporta’s aluminum-leather cases have served me extremely well in the past. Unfortunately, the company recently underwent a re-branding process…can their stuff still stack up?
Large white envelopes have signaled the arrival of Proporta-branded goods in the past (shipping via UK)…these can be delivered to letter boxes and generally work well. The individual blisters were redesigned completely – they can now be folded open:
Proportas standard-issue belt clip still ships with every case (and goes straight to the trash at this reviewer’s):
Getting the phone into the case is easy. The device must be slid into the rails while closed; the clamps then grab the keyboard part of the machine:
Opening and closing the case works with minimal obtrusion…if the protective foils have been removed from the back of the screen assembly:
The XPERIA X1 remains pretty usable while in the case – typing is as comfortable as it gets on an x1:
A cutout in the back allows the camera to be used while the phone is in the case. As usual (for Proporta), all other important parts of the phone can be accessed from the outside even when the case is closed:
Finally, here is a bunch of shots showing the X1 in its case:
In the end, I have to say that Proporta’s solution to the XPERIA problem is about as unannoying as it gets. If you need a leather case, get this one…you will not regret your choice. The price of 30GBP may sound a bit steep, but is humane compared to what other manufacturers charge…
