Surely you remember Liquipel. Using its WaterSafe nanocoating technology, the company can make your handset water resistant with various levels of coverage depending on the particular device. Currently, those who want to have the nanocoating applied to their phone have to box it up and sent to Liquipel which is why the company is seeking licensees in other counties such as Japan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Russia, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Namibia and South Africa.

Liquipel is $89 to get same level of protection on any brilliant smartphone out there, the Xperia Z is $800 to buy, i am confused at what you are trying to point at!
Would you rather they recommend it did? That's just so morons won't go out and deliberately put their devices in the wash? The real question is, what would happen if I sent out an Xperia z to be liquipeled? Would I be able to go surfing with the darn thing or what?
