Front coming away

Front coming away

I've had my Z3 for a little short of 3 months and to my utter disgust the screen is coming away in the top right corner near the camera.

This is causing problems with the proximity sensor in that when I've finished a call I can't get the screen to wake again and also the loud speaker at the top only works if I'm pushing the screen back down.

Has anyone else had any issues like this?

Thanks

Andy

HI hi.

I was quite happy using this phone for the past 2 years..I think..now, I noticed that the right side front is coming off..after reading up on the recent post by many other users, I feel at a loss..

Mine is coming away as well top left near the notification light..... Never been dropped always been in case etc Vodafone and sony dont want to know as I must have dropped it......this may be my last Sony had the exact same issue on the sony z z1 z1 compact and the gf's z3 compact and now my z3.

I hate the look of the x sieres and to be honest ive had enough of all the crap with Sony and not updating phones with latest androids.....

My Sony z3 has a falling screen too. If it won't hold tapet (scotch tape) like this for about 2 years they lost another costumer.

The proximity sensor has an issue of its own.  And the screen is slowly, completely detaching, not only in the corner(s). This was my 5th Sony, only Sonys in the last 11 years, but I might find something reliable.

The same just happened to my girlfriends phone after only a day! This was after convincing my girlfriend to buy a Sony Z3 and not a second hand iPhone :/. 

Cant believe some retailers are trying to make customers pay for this. The top right corner is clean lifting off. This is clearly a manufacturing defect.

Mine has just gone exactly the same as others have said, definitely never been dropped, will contact Sony and virgin as this must be a manufacturer fault .
