i am considering removing the anti shatter film from my xperia z once i get it as the idea of having a 100% blank phone is very interesting to me
however it seems theres alot of negatives doing this (i have bought a screen protector for about 20$ which i will get with the phone)
when removing the anti shatter film it seems you will get
1insane fingerprint magenet (i thought it would be the opposite)
2.extremely hard to clean
would you recommend removing it or keeping it on i just want to remove it to get rid of the sony logo and to have a much nicer feel too it better display and nicer feel
is it recommended to remove it or keep it on? (then apply a normal screen protector)
i bought this one https://www.inet.se/produkt/1999042/invisibleshield-sony-xperia-z-screen-coverage
ofcourse i want the best quality screen protector possible
someone also said the nfx logo comes off at the back whats a nfc logo?
Discussed to death already. Also, a question thread should not be in General.

I removed mine this morning (see separate post) and so far i can only see benefits. The fingerprints were much worse on the shatter film than they are now on pure clean glass.

I want to remove, but I want to keep the Sony logo. As there is no replacement for the Sony logo (yet, maybe it'll come with future screen protectors with sony logo on it), I'm not removing it.
The Sony logo looks beautiful on this device.

the sony logo does look nice
but imagine a completely blank glass front i think that would actually look better
like a piece of glass no buttons nothing you can't tell it's a phone from the front
So just to confirm, on this premium device the Sony logo is technically only a sticker??

but the back isn't the ugly safety signs at the bag are inside the glass

Er yes but looks better without anything after i removed the film.
i will get my phone today and i am still not sure if i should
whats worrying me now is damage
i read it can litterally damage the phone and break the water proofing how true is this?
then theres the fingerprint thing is it better or worse without it?
i want to remove it then apply a real screen protector to fix fingerprint issues
the damage part worries me though
i do want the sony logo off though

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)
Good evening!
I have a Z without any protection film. I have noticed than in some angels or in direct contact with strong light i have TINY TINY scratches on my screen. So my question is: Is there any way of removing scratches from my device? Polish for.example?
Answers will me much appriciated !
Sorry for bad English ..
There should be a shatter proof screen protector already applied on. It came with the phone like that, so you most likely scratched that not the glass itself. Just remove that and apply a screen protector on.

Be aware,when removing factory foil,Sony logo removed as well...
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
No way to remove the scratches if they are on the shatter proof shield. It's made of plastic.
If you remove it, though, you will lose the Sony logo because it is printed on the plastic, rather than on the body of the phone.
I have removed the pre-applied protector from sony Its the glass itself that have tiny scratches ..

Do you still have the SONY logo at the front of your screen??
If you don't then: Well it's your own fault, you asked for it by not using a screen protector.
I don't think we're all on the same page. He could have removed the layer that came with it (with words on it like instructions) and then there's another layer that has the Sony logo.
Like what the above person said,
if you do not have a Sony logo at the front top then you scratched the glass.
If you have the Sony logo at the front top then you scratched the pre installed layer. (this one you can remove and install a new screen protector) if you choose to remove this layer, the Sony logo will be gone. And some say it will void your warranty.

Like i said in the OP i have no protector on it. That obviously includes the pre-installed (with sony logo) one to. I know i have scratched the glass and thats why i am asking if there is any way to get rid of it, like you do on CD`s , cars , etc
If the scratch not too deep on the glass. U may want read this for polishing tempered glass. Hope helps

Hi all !
I just bought THIS screen protector and just loving it.
I was worried about the fitting to the screen but the precision laser cut was very accurate, fits exactly to the screen.
I applied it myself for the first time, it is magnetic(does not leave adhesive residue) so you can always remove apply it correctly. The matte finish is just excellent
It is for Indian users but the seller said they import these from abroad so the same brand can be found on international sites too.
I got a clear screen protector and i like it better than matte finish.

1) can anybody show a side-to-side comparison of matte and clear protectors applied?
2) are the aftermarket protectors better than the sony stock protector?
Hi guys, just got my ZR and I'm loving it but it's quite the fingerprint magnet. Is there a screen protector that can help. I have set my eyes on this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vikuiti-A...ting_LaptopAccessories_RL&hash=item51b125bc05 but I don't know if it's any good. Any suggestions?

Thank you, for your suggestion I got 3 matte and 6 clear screen protectors I will see how it goes and which I like best. Has anyone removed the pre-installed protector from their device. I'm concerned that I'll remove the SONY logo if I get rid of it (I hear that happened on xperia Z units). Is there any danger in removing it and should I remove it at all or just place the new one on top of it?
Place the new one on top. Doesn't dampen sensitivity too much.

matte
At first didn't like my matte screen protector...
Pros
feels nicer!
no filthy finger prints!
minimal light reflections..
if you use dim backlight it really helps..
you can re apply it.
no air bubbles at all!
Cons
unable to use it as a mirror when screen off.
colours and images on the screen are not as sharp,
slight glow on whites.
But now i wouldn't go back!
I'm still waiting for my screen protector and today I noticed a tiny scratch on the screen. It's not that visible but is there a way to fix that. Will the screen protector cover it or I'm stuck with a scratched SONY?

Take a pencil eraser and rub it off..
It should not be the screen itself. Sony is known to apply screen protectors on each phone in-manufacture. It's not visible but if you insist you can remove it. It's even possible that the sony logo is simply printed on it, like the Xperia V.

Removing the anti-shatter film will invalidate the warranty.
Seriously?? How could this void the warranty? It has nothing to do with the hardware and doesn't affect the device in any way!
Made in ZR

Yes, there are a lot users talking about it, removing the shatter-proof screen protector voids the warranty because it'll no longer be shatter proof.....stupid isn't it? I already scratched mine before knowing that, now I'm stuck with a scratched screen until my warranty ends and I remove the f****ing thing.
is this detail specified in the texts ?

I can't really say I haven't researched this, what I know for sure is that this protector is factory heated onto the screen and it's not supposed to be removed.
Hi,
I'm trying to find a screen protector for a whole display, without any holes in it.. I found this: amazon.de/dp/B00K1JTIMG/ but of course, I'm not sure if it's a picture of a real product or just illustrative picture. can someone confirm / recommend something else?
(sorry, posting links is blocked, since I'm new here..)

You are right. The protector is factory-heated onto the screen, remove it and the Sony logo will go off. As for the warranty, there are two paragraphs Sony could use against you if you remove the protector (as stated by the Important information brochure):
Do not paint or attempt to disassemble or modify the product. Only Sony authorized personnel should perform service.

Additionally, "What we will do" section, says:
7. Tampering with any of the seals on the Product will void the warranty.

I know it is not very specific, but hey, that's how lawyers do it.
The only thing I always wonder about, is what kind of glass ZR's screen uses... GorillaGlass? DragonTrail? I found many different sites talking about that, but none of them had conclusive evidence. Sony's official response is ZR uses a "Shatter proof and scratch-resistant glass". No specific brand mentioned .
Anyway, I bought a good protector for 5 bucks. It's a "KLX Anti-explosion Soft TPU 0.2mm Screen Guard Film" and the package includes everything you need to apply it successfully. Also, I saw a 1mm tempered glass protector for 15 bucks, thinking of buying it next time.
Hello there. Is it wise to remove Sony's Screen protector and then replacing it with a tempered glass screen protector? Why or why not?
Thanks.
Note: As I have under 10 posts I cannot link to the screen protector, but here is the extension of the URL. /Ultra-thin-Protector-Anti-scratch-Shatterproof-Fingerprint/dp/B00L41KMVQ/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1410738703&sr=1-6&keywords=z1+tempered+glass
Just add amazon [.] com in front of it. Thanks.
I bought my phone used and it had some small scratches on the front side so I did exactly what you describe.
It feels "smoother" now. If you still have warranty you might not want to do it though.
Maybe you missed this thread, which has excellent information on the topic.
