Tail tail strap made of iron to convince us with security when you use this phone in a variety of sports. Unfortunately the screen is pretty tiny bit difficult for us when typing a message or email.
Protection
Initially we had assumed that the screen used Active use of the Gorilla Glas technology that is proven successful in some handsets like the iPhone, however it turns out Sony Ericsson decided to use the services of Dragontail which is a competitor of Corning products. To protect dust and water to a depth of 1 meter, Sony Ericsson using a double back cover of each side is coated with rubber to maximize protection against pressure water, dust and shock.
