At first glance, this may look like a simple, standard transparent cover - perfect for those that like simplicity and be able to see the beautiful phone through it, while protecting it. But look closer at the edges, and you'll see that these are pouches filled with air! This is not just for show, but actually useful in protecting your Sony Xperia 1 V In case you accidentally drop it. Hopefully, you won't though, due to its anti-slip design. But better safe than sorry!
