Xperia T - Out of stock

To the proud owners of Xperia T, does the phone come with a factory installed screen protector...
Your reply will help me to save the cost of ordering an additional screen protector...

yes it does

Yes, and the first thing I do is rip it off and don't bother with any, I find screen protectors attract dust and get to easily scratched whilst the main screen is very robust and doesn't get scratched at all....I have done this with all my xperia devices.

LOL...i do exactly the opposite....I use a screen protector but I dont like to put any case on it, as it spoils the aethetics. And to why I use screen protector is, because a scratch on the screen will keep bothering me, even though it wouldnt affect the usage...
BTW, factory installed screen protector from sony are quite good imo.
Thanks Greg and Asterix...

No, just get your fingernail under it near the top centre and pull it off, its a bit more sticky than non-factory fitted screen proteceters, but it does just pull off

Have just ordered mine, and it was the last piece in stock at Clove Technologies....
Should be recieving tmrw in Singapore...
Does anybody have some opinion on the camera app and picture quality difference between Stock and AOSP camera apps...

Xperia Z Sony logo baked into screen protector rather than its display?

Sony Mobile is one of the few mobile manufacturers to pre-apply a screen protector to its smartphones. It’s a nice gesture, providing a factory-fitted finish. The company has been doing this since the Xperia X10 was released back in 2010 and the same will apply to the Xperia Z when it is released next month. However, judging by the photos below it looks like the protective sheet will also double-up to display the ‘Sony’ logo.
For such a pricey phone, you may think that the Sony logo would be baked into the display, but this doesn’t appear to be the case. The guys over at ComputerBild.de carefully removed the pre-applied protector, although it wasn’t easy as you can see below. They found that once it was removed, the front face of the phone was just a single sheet of glass with no logo to be found.
At this stage, we don’t know whether this will be the case for retail devices, but it certainly seems to be the case for pre-production samples. We’re not even sure it’s such a big deal, a single sheet of glass can look pretty elegant. What’s your view, is this cost-cutting measure a bit too much? Would you expect the logo to be etched onto the glass given the price?

The sheet is for the pre beta and pre production units. The final device will have the sony logo on the device itself, rather than the protective sheet.

How can you be so sure??

Why would anybody care? We ***** because of big logos, and then we ***** because they come off with the screen protector. Is it really that important to you people for other people to know that you have a Sony phone? Huh? The world is really f'd.

Can never be sure, its just common sense. Why make your company logo removable on your flagship device? if the Sony logo gets removed by the screen protector, how will other people know its a Sony if the device is lying face up? It doesn't make sense to have it only printed in the screen protector. I hardly think its to save cash either.

Just a lil hope i guess! Coz assuming that Sony wont put up the logo in a screen protector for a premium flagship phone!

You are right to an extent! Maybe they could have had problems in etching out the logo in the glass. That's what the link too says and it also shows that the protector is rigid and they indeed have found difficulties in removing it and showing us out. So Sony might have thought that the protector wont peel off easily and might have stuck the logo in it! Anyways, anything could happen!

Well I would be very surprised if the logo is only etched onto the screen protector and not the actual phone itself.

If it does, Samsung would immediately develop (only) a screen protector of 5" in size that says Samsung at the top and it would eventually be named as Samsung Galaxy Z and they would start bragging about the pinnacle of design, craftsmanship and all such!!

My uncle works for the Sony HQ in Spain. He said that they were too busy preparing the pre prodcution units that they decided to print it on the protective sheet. Rest assured, the xperia Z will come with the Sony logo on the device itself.

Logo or not, removing the shatter shield is stupid idea

I removed the screen protector and the logo is gone :laugh:
Im gonna send my phone back tough. its not a very good phone:victory:

I removed the sheets on the back and front. The back is now an oily fingerprint collecting mess and the front feels like it's matt and has no Sony logo. It has also affected the loudspeaker of the phone which goes quiet now for over 4 or 5 hours at a time when the phone touches water.
Very bad idea.

[Q]are you have screen shields placed by factory originaly?!!!

Yeah mine came with both. I think everyone has them.
Some people removed them, but some people say they help with the strength of the glass.
I took my front one off because it got some marks on it... Seems fine without it.
I say: Leave them on until they get damaged (which seems quite easy)

You removed the front one? Did the Sony logo still stick on the phone? or it's embedded on the screen protector??

Afaik the Sony logo is on the preinstalled shatterproof protectors and will disappear when removing the front one.

it seems,not only this protectors increases dust absorption and finger print but also is getting a feel of lost slip on screen when i want to sweep between the pages.i think is better to remove this shields if it is possible and dont injury knocks the screen

my q is why sony should be placed these protectors even with using drugonglass in z?!!!is this can a reason for worse viewing angle on xperia z?!!!

Then you're very lucky as the back of mine looks like a multicolored rainbow of oil slick after a few mins use.
Did you lose the Sony logo off the front? If you didn't you likely just removed the second screen protectors and left the shatter proof factory ones on.
Mines almost unusable now as the fingerprints are worse than any phone I've ever owned.
Viewing angles remain unchanged from removing the protectors, you shouldn't spread false info as there will be a lot of unhappy campers removing their protectors and seeing zero viewing angle difference.

I think you'd better not peel them off. These coverings are designed to prevent broken glass splinters hurting people, and hard and stuck very tight with special method in factory. It won't affect display I suppose, trust Sony. It's part of the device. Moreover, since it scratches easily, add one more film on it...

warranty
not sure if removing sony anti-shatter foils does also remove warranty...as you are given foils also in package, maybe read somewhere on XDA

I do not understand why people remove these...
- When NOT removed and If you drop the phone, it prevents the glass splinters from shattering all over the place.
- When removed Sony can no longer guarantee the phone to be water proof, as stated in another topic.
- When removed the phone attracts more fingerprints.
- When removed you lose the Sony logo on the front.
As far for these scratching a lot, I have not put on any extra screen protector and do not have a single scratch yet.
However I do use a leather case, always do that with all my phones.
Used Xperia Play for 2 years aprox, not a single scratch on the pre installed film.
Kind regards, Stefan.

The dragontrail glass is only for durability purposes! DO NOT remove the shatter proof sheet, it protects the screen from drop shocks so it doesn't get broken! Use the supplied screen protector and you will be fine! Unfortunately here in Greece it ships without screen protectors in the box and damn we got the highest price! (€699)

Question about removing Xperia Z's anti-shatter film

Hi guys, just curious about this, I would like to remove the front screen protector of Xperia Z to get rid of the Sony logo (not hate it put prefer the front to be all black). Would this affect the phone's water resistant feature?
Have anyone tried this yet?
Besides, is the oleophobic coating of the glass affected? From the video below I think there's something wrong with his phone, the reflection looks pixelated

I have done it and it doesnt affect water resistant feature (its a film how can it affect the whole phone?)
the screen have little to no oleophobic feature, your best bet is to buy some rain-x spray it on there or buy another screen protector that have oleophobic property.

I'd leave it alone for the simple reason you'll regret it. I don't see how you could remove it, you can cover it over in some way but it's not going to look good and would be noticeable from certain angles.

It's scratches I'd be more concerned about, which is why I always stick one on top of the factory one because if or when I come to sell it, a pristine screen will get more than one that's scuffed to bits.

it wont scratch, it'll break but wont scratch, I had my S3 in my pocket with keys and coins (not intentionally but when in a rush) it never scratch, Dragontrail suppose to be stronger than Gorilla Glass 2 so it be ok.

IT WILL SCRATCH.
IT WILL BREAK AND IT WILL SCRATCH.
My previous xperia z had antishatter removed and the screen scratched from a sand particle hidden in my microfibre cloth, if you decide or have taken of antishatter film, put on a screen protector as soon as you can. Preferably you should put on a good quality screen protector onto antishatter film. That way you will have constant new looking phone.
Which is what I've done with my NEW Xperia z.
after taking off antishatter layer on my first phone, AIthough i was trying to convince myself that it feels better, and looks better debranded,
Everytime the beautiful nostalgic sony ad came on, and the guy took out his xperia z to take a picture of his girlfriend covered in courfull dry paint. And then washed his xperia z afterwards showing off that beautiful sony logo. My heart would sink ,as I knew my phone would never look like that ever again.

Anywhere to buy OEM Shatter layer with Sony logo?

Is there any place you can buy the OEM shatter layer for the xperia Z (With Sony Logo)?
I guess many people don't put on the screen protectors that comes with the box, not knowing about the shatter layer that is not scratch-resistant. Would be great to replace with a new one, then put on a screen protector..

so far theres non.. but later on maybe some will sell with a sony logo.. but for best when you unboxed ur Z,just put the free protector,front and back.. it could spare the built in layer.. and whhen the time ull remove it,we hope theres somebody who sells with a sony logo.

Yes, I have never had the need for screen protector on my other phones, so this being the first time I installed one, I failed miserably.
However I bought a Copter Screen protector yesterday, much easier to apply.

Yes,the built in though its thick.. So i already bought another prtctor with thin film,so the touch response will not degrade.. Are you annoyed living your XZ Not having a sony logo?

It just does not feel right removing the Sony logo on a brand new phone.. I like things to be original. But I have not read about anyone having problems after removing it, so it is a solution for those with scratched shatter films I guess.
