[Q] screencover - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please can someone tell me a good quality screencover that applies easily without air bubbles. Tried the ones that came with the phone but ended up with about 50 air bubbles so wasn't happy and pulled them off again.

Anybody done Drop Test on Note?

Just curious to know!
accidentally, from 2ft onto concrete with no case on. There is a slight scrath on the metal surround, other than that no damage at all.

Thanks for the update. Your answer is some what helping me
I had a confuse as the size it too large!
Accidently from 2ft onto carpet with a gel case on - it was fine
Dropped it like 20 times on various surfaces (including concrete) already, w/o case. Got some minor scratches on the "metal" frame, but even that is only slightly visible. Other than that: works like a charm + no scratches in the display.
Well different people have had different experiences. I have never dropped the phone yet... (Touches Wood)

Been there, done that. Screen cracked. Didn't shatter though. Disappointed in the quality of Note. Charged US$100 to change the whole screen including the HD-SAMOLED.

Same here. some scratches on the plastic rim
Bit of a shame it's ask plastic would have been move if the trim was metal to help protect it without a case.
I dropped it from like one foot, fell out of my pants got a mark on the trim, which I totally thought was metal.. Bit disappointed. First Samsung device, HTC definitely kick Samsungs arse in build quality/durability which is needed in a handset.

no it cant be dropped . i droped it from 1 feet and got small scratches on the blue surrounding but thats all.
I must confess I have done the same involuntary experiment, same result. The fall was slowed by the headphone cable and the phone landed vertically and then falled on it's back. Result: scratches on the bottom metal and a very small one on plastic back. Screen intact.

My kid disobeyed the Golden Rule of not touching my phone and dropped it from about 3 feet. Surprisingly, an angel swooped in and grabbed it, raised it where he can't reach and waited for me to retrieve it. Seriouly though, is there a way to get warranty on this phone? I bought it from eBay a week ago but it didn't give me an option to purchase a US warranty.

I dropped mine today It was in my jeans pocket, and when i got out of the car, it dropped straight onto the concrete with no case on. I screamed when i saw that it dropped with the screen DOWN.
BUT, the screen didn't get ONE SINGLE scratch! The only thing that got a couple of scratches was the bezel. Nothing major, but i'm happily using the flip case now
Dropped it once from my bike at around 1m high. The silicone case took all the shock, so great investment

Dropped from 1,5 m on CONCRETE !!!
Fortunately. the silicone case did it's job.
Not a single scratch. Phone untouched

Metal can get scratched specially aluminum when dropped on concrete or asphalt. Have you seen the latest HTC phones? They're all made out of plastic.
As long as there are no flexes in the chassis where it actually counts, i couldn't careless about the usage of plastic

Metal makes the phone more stable and screen to easy to brake because on a fall the power from the drop goes to the screen without looking a strength front the metal bending or braking, my English isn't so good to explain more a static solution about the thema. Just check iphone cracking display because of it's metal body. And to answer your question, no I don't think you have space to put plastic between to absorb the fall. If a fellow with static experience and better English could explain them if this isn't enough.
Thank you

HOW TO: Install a screen protector on your Google Nexus 7 Tablet (Dry Application)

Hi Nexus 7 fans,
Here at caseen we produced a video on how to install screen protector onto your Nexus 7! We used our GLARESHATTER Anti-Glare Dry Protection system for this video. It should help with anyone needing help installing a screen protection system.
For most dry application using Japanese PET, any additional bubbles will go out in 24 hours. Be sure to keep a CLEAN space!
Here is the video:
Link to screen protector system used in this video is here: http://www.caseen.com/caseen-2x-Goo...Anti-Fingerprint-Screen-Protectors_p_278.html
I'll be happy to answer any questions you guys might have
That nice, but you did it wrong.. I guess its like an Oreo cookie everyone has there own way of eating them
I would have just pealed about an inch off the top then applied it and slowly and softly pushed down as I peeled of the rest..

Thats another way to do it ;P Both great ways IMO. The only reason I don't like that way is that too many issue with people accidentally touching the sticky part, and thereby adding oil to the installation =(.
Expert Tip: Keep scotch tape ripped and ready to go to catch any dust that may fall on the sticky portion during installaion. =].

Haha! You know, after doing Zagg twice, I actually thought about doing it like that. All gowned up, wearing powderfree gloves and working in a BSC.
No more Zagg for me.
I always get mine wet. Helps get it down and slide a little bit to align. Also allows you to also remove any bubbles easier then a dry apply. Yes I'm talking about a dry application. A little soap helps too to prevent fingerprints.
Yea like oreos.

That installation video was brutal. In my house if I turned the screen protector over like had done, it wouldve had at least 1 or 2 dust particles catch on it. The way i do it is to always try to start from the top, peel back maybe an inch worth of the 1st guard, and lay it as perfect as possible all while holding the protector downwards. Then work your way down gently, push out the leftover bubbles with a microfiber cloth and my fingernail. Lift and dab with tape when necessary if dust bubbles occur.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
so how's the feel on this one (is there any grip while swiping)? is there any orange peel? and how well does it reduce fingerprint?
Lol once i go back to school ill have access to a real cleanroom, may have to buy a new screen protector for it. But imo that wasnt a very good installation guide seeing how there were still some noticeable bubbles. The technique was good but Thats whT people are trying to avoid haha
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
I usually ignore any dusts/bubbles at the beginning. Of course, it's nice not to get them, but my main concern at the start is lining it up properly so that it sits perfect on the screen. Once I get that sorted, I use scotch tape and lift up every corner and clean up from below (while wearing lab nitrile gloves). I've had perfect applications using this method, though it takes time. Heck, it took me an hour and a half to get it absolutely perfect and bubble/dust free application for my Galaxy Nexus! Only took about 20 minutes to get a perfect and clean application for the Nexus 7
For those wondering, any bubbles on the screen protector will "dry out" after 24 hours [Ours is now bubble free after 24 hours of waiting]. I can understand wanting to do more! The more techniques performed the better. Just be ready to multi-task =).

As a dry system there will be no noticeable orange peel. Also this one is super smooth, and does not grip your finger at all.
You won't need to wipe your screen for 2 weeks or more guaranteed. Our GLARESHATTER system takes care of fingerprints extremely well!
We have great Amazon reviews for our Nook Color version: http://www.amazon.com/caseen-GLARES...ie=UTF8&qid=1344896005&sr=8-9&keywords=caseen

[Q] Build quality / scratched paint

I've had my lovely Xperia T for almost 2 weeks now and I've got a few concerns about the build quality and I'd like to see if I'm the only one with these issues:
1) I've noticed a few places on the back panel which exhibit a certain amount of creaking when I apply slight pressure. The worst areas are at the top left of the device behind the notification LED and between the SIM/Micro SD panel and the power button. This sound is quite irritating to me, especially for a brand new device.
2) There are a few areas along the edge of the matte black panel where the matte paint have been scratched off. Two of the corners have slight paint wear and around the headphone jack. Under the matte paint is a shiny black surface and it seems (so far) to be affecting the sharper edges or where the matte panel meets the metallic bezel. I'll try to take photos, but it's very small at the moment and might not be picked up due to it's dark colour.
Like I said, I've only had this phone less than a fortnight and it's already showing signs of wear even though I'm very careful with my devices.
Do any of you have any experiences like this?
Had mine for 2 and half weeks and have no sign of even being used. Don't have it in a case or anything. Where did you get it from.

Yep about to ask the same thing here... I cant believe that after 2 weeks of normal usage back matte covering is starting to peel at the corners. Its some kind of spray over a glossy plastic. Had galaxy ace for over a year and that stayed like new. Was very upset with this, so I ordered thin hard plastic case to cover that s***.
I got the phone from O2 ireland. James Bond and what not...but very disappointed as for the price.
Mine is exactly as you described it. Paint started to peel off at the top corners and the creak when pressed on the left corner. Really disappointed with Sony's built quality. Also the factory installed screen protector is showing some marks/light scratches. Does anyone know if it is possible to remove it as I would like to replace it with aftermarket ones. It seems to be glued to the screen.

I've been reading into this 'shatter proof' layer and I'd be curious to find out if anyone here has removed theirs already? How does it affect dust/smudges etc? I'm naturally a bit hesitant to attack my phone just yet.
A note on the creaking case; I've found a rather unprofessional way to resolve it and it's reduced the noise significantly. It's possible to wedge a thin piece of paper between the back panel and the bezel, so I trimmed a piece small enough to go ask the way inside as far as it can go and gently pushed it out of sight using a craft knife. I used a post-it note and made a strip about 1mm wide and 5mm long and this seemed to do the job.

Not so sure its a "Shatter proof" layer or just to keep any broken glass stuck together so you dont cut yourself. It may give some protection against shattering but as I have said before, I removed it from my x10 and my neo with no adverse effects at all. Still to do it yet on my T. The reason eing, soon that layer gets scratched and dull, then I will take it off and have a brand new screen, similar pricicple to the rip offs the F1 drivers use on their visors.
Mine creaks as does my wife's Xperia T. Really annoying at first, but I got a hard case from Amazon UK and its stopped most of it.
Just removed my built-in/factory-fitted screen protector or whatever you want to call it :laugh:
Gave it a good clean as it was very slightly tacky and now it looks much slicker with the screen off... it seems to attract less dust and it isn't as smear-prone as before. I prefer the naked glass feel and it seems ever so slightly more responsive. Kinda glad I took the plunge after being too chicken to do it lol
Good for you!! Did mine also today using a credit card. Started at the top where the speaker is as it had the least resistance. Came off quite easily.

Are the front-panel logos on the Xperia T on the glass itself or on the shatterproof sheet? In other words, did the logos come off along with the sheet?

Silver sticker around camera lens.
A week in with my Xperia T and the sticker around camera lens has peeled away. Anyone else have same problem? Perhaps I'll need silver model paint in it's place.
same problem
had my xperia T for about 2 months now, i have been very careful with it, it hasnt been droped, or against anything sharp, the only thing it has had is the pulling in and out of my pocket every time i use it, as any phone should be designed to do, and the paint on all 4 corners is wearing off, mainly on the left side, i belive this to be the angle that it usually is in my jeans pocket causing it to scratch.
as a matter of intrest whats the cover on warenty for something like this? because the manufacture could say its not their fault,

Spigen Flex HD - Application

Hi all,
Fitted my Flex HD protector (front and rear, pics below)... Rear fits great height-wise, but a bit short width-wise, not bad in general though... Quite good at applying these protectors and I got it without a single bubble
Front one though was a different story... It was my first ever wet-protector install and I'm not entirely sure about it. The fit is GREAT! Just not sure how well my actual application has gone...
Anyone installed this specific protector on this phone and able to offer any advice on whether the bubbles shown will work themselves out over a few days as it says they should? Doesn't seem to be any dust below, just bubbles
Thanks!
They'll go away. It took mine two days to disappear. the first day I saw a few and tried to move them out and by the second night I couldn't see any bubbles.
you can always take it off and re-install. The pray that comes with it does not work as well as a small bowl of water with a drop of dischwashing soap. Make sure your fingers are good and wet and they with some practice you should be able to get much less bubbles right away. I am a perfectionist and it took me 4 applications to get it perfect. I had zero bubbles as soon as I was done and it took about 1 day for the excess moisture to dry for a perfect application. No hair, dust or bubbles. Surpirsingingly, I really like how this SP feels on the phone, and I always have used tempered glass.
The good thing about a wet application is that you get second chances, unlike glass (at least i my experience)
good luck
Mine looked the same as your's OP, by the end of the night most of the small bubbles were gone. Really hoping the rest of them work themselves out over the next few days. Most comments I've read say they do, so I'm optimistic as I am a perfectionist as well. Can't stand the sight of bubbles or blemishes in my screen protector.

I see the orange peel effect and i have ordered this screen protector does the effect go away over time? is it a matter of stretching as much as possible during application with the card?
Thanks all
It seems that after about 12 hours it is looking a lot better, not quite perfect yet though
I also see now there are a couple of bits of dust (I made the mistake of putting it back down on the sheet after taking it off initially to clean the screen again)... Surprisingly though the bits with the dust aren't the worst bubbles, in fact they're not very visible at all
Will give it a few more days then maybe post some more pics for people to see what it is like
It took mine about a week for all the bubbles to work themselves out, but now that the did I can't even tell I have a screen protector on my phone. Really happy with the front protector!
I'm gonna have to redo it as it has dust from when I put it down
But yes the bubbles in general surprisingly are sorting themselves out
Anyone think their screen looks slightly yellowish hue after installing this? I don't recall how mine looked before so I'm really hoping this is so and it's not my actual screen. If it's my screen then I will be exchanging if because it's quite irritating. And it's perfectly white when I hold the screen at an angle instead of dead on.

After 2 days, all blemishes and bubbles are gone. I've had several people say they had no idea there was even a screen protector on until I told them. It feels like glass and doesn't have that rubbery feel to it like how some other "wet" application screen protectors feel. I also don't have any discoloration due to the screen protector either. I can honestly say I love how it looks.
I was very skeptical at first since this was my first "wet" application screen protector. I've always used the one and done "dry" application ones. The application process was very nerve racking with all that "solution" on my phone, and trust me I was with everyone else with how my phone looked initially. But after letting it settle for a few days, I can say I'm glad I went with this screen protector that wraps from edge to edge versus going with one that only covered the top of the screen. I highly recommend it to anyone on the fence :good:

YMMV, some people here claim it goes away but I frankly don't believe them. The orange peel effect is there and in full force even after a week. There's even a bubble that will not go away even though there is no dust underneath. I'm returning this one ASAP and I recommend against anyone buying it.

I don't think this is brilliant. Those "bubbles" don't look like they'll disappear. Looks like a defective screen protector. Did these ever go away? Wonder if others had the same problem and it is a result of a faulty batch

Here's my phone with the FlexHD on after 3 days
And I thought I did a good job. You sir are a master at installing liquid install protectors. If I were to place my phone next to yours it would look like ****, although I did install mine in the car, outside of best buy, on my lap, on a rainy day with no light, because I didn't dare put the phone in my phone or any where else for the drive home.
Oh well, good thing it came with 2 protectors. Can always try again.

Yeah it does, as long as you install the right way. No bubbles. This video I am going to link you is for impact shield s8 install. Same concept so no biggie. Watch that video a few times so you get it right. Also order it off ebay it's cheaper. Got 1 new $20, I've seen them even lower. They normally go for $40-50 new elsewhere.
I will advise against it just due to how horrible customer service is. If you need to ever have it replaced good luck.

Use dust stickers and you won't have any issues with dust. You could also use some tape. Also you will notice there's still bubbles after installation. That's normal after 24-48 hours they disappear.

I am mostly putting my kneck out for there protection. It seem like people where putting on screen protector incorrectly. I followed that girl in youtube video and have no issues. I will say that the screen protector installation has to many unnecessary steps.
I totally believe you. Was just curious how'd they gave you a bad experience?

That's ridiculous. I can see why your PO. Sounds like they're giving you the runaround and probably didn't even send 1 smh.
I'm wanting to get the Evo Tactical, but it won't ship when I have it in my cart. It will say there are no quotes at the time, but I can order a screen protector no problem. I contacted support earlier today, I didn't expect them to get back to me that quick, but hopefully they can help.

The first EVO wallet came over here with three scratches on the top. Chatted with Tech21, submitted a picture during chat and got a replacement in perfect condition within a few days. They don't wanted me to return the scratched case. Using the scratched one now and have another one as replacement. Perfect service. Don't they submitted a tracking nr. to you?

I haven't had any issues in that department. They give you issues I take it?
Use dust stickers and you won't have any issues with dust. You could also use some tape. Also you will notice there's still bubbles after installation. That's normal after 24-48 hours they disappear.

I find tape leaves marks to be honest. I also find not many people supply the dust removers in their packaging these days.
During the application process in the video, it shows removing film number 3. Whilst removing film number three the other hand is applying the film thus if dust lands during the number 3 process one is screwed?
I'd like to try this film as I think the material used is similar to the ONN Walmart Note 8 and s8plus screen protectors. Almost like glass but not quite. The latter would have been perfect non glass screen protectors if only they worked. Edges lifted.
I'm currently back to the same sort of screen protector that I had when I first bought my N8. The wet applied clear film that has a 2.5mm gap all the way around the edges. Seems to be the only solid ones out there. Made by Skinomi, Illumishield, Armousuit etc , $60 or so dollars later LOL
The Spigen wet applied film was nice with smaller gaps, but the peel on the film was a joke.

Masking tape is the best for this if you're going to use tape. Yeah I don't like how they don't include dust stickers with it. Also you can go to dollar store and use kids stickers. They also work for the cheap alternative. I'd go with that option.
I followed video to the T and bubbles from air pockets 24 hours later where gone. Make sure your hands clean and not in a dusty room. Bright light will help too. Because you will see dust beforehand. One more thing do it on a table.

Really surprised not many folks on here have used the Tech21 bullet shield screen protector on the Note 8 .
Feedback would be nice.

They're not the most popular I suppose? Some people there customer service rubbed them the wrong way. But you see most us who have that brand stand by it.
