Now that my Xperia Z has arrived, after waiting almost two months, I can at last enjoy my Hacoa case (earlier post)! I have to admit that I am an iOS fan, so the only exciting thing about the Xperia Z is using the case.
I still cannot say much about the phone itself, but the case is simply stunning. The natural feel of the wood is amazing and Hacoa has made a superb job in terms of the finish and attention to the detail. The cuts are spot on and the edges have been so skilfully trimmed.
There is one small drawback with the case though. One beautiful accessory made by Hacoa is the Tazuna, which comes in six different wood types, and unfortunately, the Xperia Z case doesn't come with a cut out for attaching it. Even though I was aware of this fact, I still ordered a Purpleheart Tazuna and I managed to attached to it on the phone.
Although I already had the Sony charging dock, I decided to use the Hacoa stand (earlier post) instead. It's just looks so nice when you place the phone on it!
No matter if you own an Xperia Z or an iPhone, I feel that the Hacoa cases are by far the best. I really like the fact that there is a fine balance between the size and amount of wood used.
Personally, if you are after a leather iPhone case, I would recommend a Vaja case, or a BookBook made by Twelve South. If you are after a wooden case, then there are quite a few Japanese manufacturers producing some of the best cases available, and in my opinion, Hacoa is at the top of the list. COLORS is also producing some extraordinary cases, especially the Shunkei Red one (earlier post), but although they are beautiful to look at, they add a lot of bulk to the overall size.
