How we picked the Best Sony Xperia 5 V cases
Because the Sony Xperia 5 V has only been on the market for a few weeks, the case selection for the phone is pretty minimal. We expect additional cases to drop by the end of October, including Sony's first-party models, and will update this listing when they do. For now, we went with a variety of materials and form factors, paying attention to different use cases and price points. We wanted to ensure that there was a case for every phone user on the list.
We chose the Wimspeed wallet case as our overall best Sony Xperia 5 V case. It's stylish, comfortable in the hand and includes a few nice features like a built-in stand. For a more minimal look, the silicone phone case with lanyard is nice, as is the transparent Foluu clear case. Many of the cases on our list have wallet and credit card pockets to keep your stuff organised.
We expect to have a full review of the Sony Xperia 5 V soon, but until then check out our comparison of the Xperia 5 IV and the Xperia 5 V to see what the major differences are.
Will my old Xperia 5 IV case fit the new Xperia 5 V?
Cases for the old model won't fit the new one, unfortunately, so if you are upgrading you'll need a new one.
