Buying the zl - Sony Xperia ZL

Hey guys I've looking at buying the Xperia z or the Xperia zl but the back glass panel of the xz worries me as there seems to be a lot of people saying it's happening to them, so I started looking at the zl as it's very similar but has a different back but I can't seem to find any ones that are new in the UK, so my questions are is the back really that big a problem on the z and is there a good place to get the zl from in the UK?

Yeah its like Red Xperia P
I even got to play with it at store! its sturdier and "hotter" than the ion

Side cover fell off...

Hi everyone,
My wife's side cover that covers the mini usb and hdmi fell off and we do not know where. Is this something that can be replaced? Is this something that is pretty useful or will she be ok without one? Thanks

Personally, I have been tempted to remove mine. It's not as annoying as the one on the X10, but sometimes it gets in the way...particularly in the smart dock. Does the missing cover detract from the aesthetic appeal? I would imagine that it would be more hassle than it is worth to replace.

Thanks just didn't know if ports will get damaged without cover.

Poor ZL is the bastard child

Search eBay or Craigslist for Xperia Zs and you will find many going for $400-$500, search for ZLs and you can find them in the low $300s and even lower!
Today I bought a black C6506 off a guy in San Diego for $260. He said he paid $550, but was complaining the cell phone exchange services would only give him $150. It's not in immaculate condition, but it is unlocked and has an unlockable bootloader. I could have easily brought him down to $240, but considering I paid the same (plus tax which made it $600) I felt it was a good value.
His loss. This will be for a friend.
At $260 he got ripped off... I've gotten ~$450 offers easily... Craigslist is never a good place to sell if you want a decent return though.

It is if you are selling something people know. No one knows the ZL so no one made him good offers I will make sure it goes to a good home. You will probably not sell it as high as on eBay, but you won't have to pay eBay/Paypal fees, so a lot of the times Craigslist is better.
I still like the ZL over the Z coz of its looks. Only if the ZL had a glass back it wud look premium but I have no complaints against it. This device being so rare in the market, ppl get confused as to which device is this. Makes u feel special

I paid $535 for the ZL in Amazon last month and look at the price now, you can buy a Z for $520. While the iPhone keep in a good value for more time, Android phones suffer low value in the market after few months.

I love the ZL for its rarity. And market value doesn't bother me at all since I always sell my phones to friends and family for half the price I bought them for.

I have both Z and ZL. Prefer the ZL - the Z is too awkward in terms of size and flaps. And the ZL has a better display (very noticeable and corroborated by GSMArena) and a couple of neat extras (IR and Camera button).
Everything else is identical, functionally.
Both were well under £400 from Amazon - new, unlocked etc.)
I don't understand why it's not popular..
When I see people talking about Honami saying "I wish it had smaller bezels" i think of ZL.
I think ZL looks better than Honami....

It's not because ZL suck or what. Simply, Sony markets the Z as the flagship and doesn't sell the ZL everywhere compared to the Z.

It should be the other way, the ZL is more cheaper than the Z, which mean the ZL have more market penetration for the price.

The Z doesn't have a camera button?? I thought it did. The Z never appealed to me because of the flaps. I really don't my phone to be waterproof. The Z got picked up by more carriers than the ZL, so that has helped make the Z more known than the ZL.
No it doesn't - as I said.

My statement was meant to be a surprise, not disbelief
The Z is branded by carriers and is sold subsidized. The ZL is not. In places like the US most people buy their phones subsidized (not to mention carriers do marketing) so the ZL has no chance of matching the same popularity.
Here in Brazil, we didn't received the Z version. Sony explore the market here only with ZQ (a.k.a ZL C6503).
So we have carrier subsidiary prices. I've got mine for 900 BRL, something like 450 USD, while the full price was 2000 BRL, something like 1000 USD.
I know, prices here are awful.
Sony US doesn't even have the ZL on their support site

I don't know. It's odd because they sell it on their online store, and I've seen it at their Sony Style stores as well. Again, someone fell asleep at the wheel and forgot about it. I'm sure they will still support it.
