if u break that seal.. or anything else, the warranty will be voided.
also the seals look easy to remove but they're kind of creased/preforated so when u try to remove them they come off in pieces not just 1 sticker.
I've seen only one little circle sticker on a screw. I just removed it and put again and it's not made of pieces but just only one sticker.
Do you know if there are other sticker inside?
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.

I removed the original screen protector and bought a new one on ebay. Definently less fingerprints.

How you remove the stock protector?
Like the guy from the video with scalpel or another way?
I'm afraid not to damage the screen while I removing it
I don. t get why would anyone remove Sony shatter proof screen protector...
I just don't, there won't be any real difference in screen quality. Only difference is that you will loose some protection. And if you are worried about fingerprints, oh please. Just put another screen protector on top of it..

I took it off both my Z and Z1. The sony ASF has an adhesive on it which I think affects screen quality I mean how can't it. I find I have better contrast without them. Plus the phone looks more monolithic without the sony logo. But there have been discussion about loss of warranty once you remove it.

I'm really close to removing mine. It scratches so easily! Never had a phone that got this many scratches in a week and it's not like i'm doing anything out of the ordinary with it.
Why put super tough glass on the phone and then cover it with a film that scratches?

you are not alone, many of us have wondered why they do this. Every other manufacturer seems to have this anti shatter built into their screens. I'm not sure if its because sony doesn't use gorilla glass or some thing. The only this to remember that after you remove it the glass doesnt have an oleophobic coating. The ASF also leave a kind of stick residue. I use nail polish remover to get it all off. Then put a glass screen protector over top of it to give the that coating.

Also my Xperia ZL when I took it off still had the sony logo etched on so same question why sony why
Do you know if the back anti shatter film also has Sony logo on it?
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
I'm interested too. I do not think will void the warranty unless you destroy your screen.
My question is, once you remove it what will you apply on your screen? I tried every good film screen protectors and no one is really oleophobic and without reducing the screen quality. Also seems on the market there aren't films or tempered glass without holes for the camera and sensors which I think is very annoying since they'll become dust magnets. Suggestions?

I removed Sony SP from my Xperia S and I didn't get anything...
No better contrast, not even better or precise touch.
But XS don't have Sony logo on SP it's on the glass... I just applied invisible screen protector from eBay (applying with water) and I still use that phone...
But I won't peel SP from Z1 - I just applied same protector (Invisible SP) front and will soon apply one to back and it's awesome...
For me, there's no reason for peeling original SP down...

If anything goes wrong in the future and you have to send back your device to customer service they'll say that warranty is lost... or they'll charge you extra money.
Personaly I bought Muvit Matt screen protection and I have no more fingerprint, the feeling is different from, for example, the Spigen Crystal Clear one which has a good feeling when touching the screen but with its fingerprint counterpart!

If you say that because of BL unlock then it is not sure warranty is 100% lost Sony' s unlock BL website says :
Please note that you may void the warranty of your device and/or any warranty from your operator if you unlock the boot loader

I know it's sounds weird that removing a plastic layer (which is a kind of physical protection) will void warranty and not totally for a bootloader unlock but that's their position for now...

I have returned my xperia T phone for a cracked screen after taking off the factory fitted screen protector and I got replacement with no questions asked
This is in the UK
I have also never seen it written on a sony website or contract that this will void warrenty

We asked a Sony rep (or a community manager) in french forum and that's what he told us.
Now I guess it depend on the service center or the country.
Also I don't know if it is the same policy for T and the Z line (waterproof, all glass etc) ?
Anyway maybe I'm wrong but I still won't take the risk.

yes, it may be country specific but I have the same contract on my Z1 as I did with my T
Plus unlocking the bootloader definitely voids warranty so if you have done that you may as well take it off
I asked on sony xperia twitter account, we'll see if they reply.
For the BL I just report what's on their site, the use of "may void" is different of just "void", I guess they have a tons of advocates who carefully pays attention to each word used on their site.
I remember a while back reading something about Arc S (here on XDA) where they said that if the repair has nothing to do with the BL unlock then the warranty still works.
If your T was unlocked and they repaired the screen for free that means warranty worked even if the screen has nothing to do with BL unlock...?
Hi guys.
I've dropped my xt1068 on a floor and the glass got cracked although the screen works perfectly (no damaged parts at all). I've buyed the replacement glass from ebay (this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Front...244?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item566c04b4ec ).
My question is, have anyone passed through this situation? Is there any way to replace it without damaging the screen? I heard that glass is glued to the digitalizer screen and I'm worried.
Any thoughts?

I don't think it is glued, but if it is try putting some light heat on it, not real hot though. The glass is meant to be replaced. I'm guessing you have the disassemble instructions.

Thanks. But the video shows how to replace the whole screen, I just bought the glass (which I need to replace). I've little concerned about separating glass from screen.
And the only tutorial I found is for samsung galaxy s4.

I'd give it a shot. The worst you could do is have to put it back together with the broken glass. It's a pretty straightforward job taking it apart. Just be careful with the pins on the cables you unplug.

Hello, so I received an old S10 from one of my parents... there are some deep scratches and I was wondering what ways they can be removed... or lessened down.
This phone has the liquid glass on it, that's about all I know. Thoughts
I suppose you might need to replace it, few videos/tutos are available online e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGHZZ5Cjcc0

Thanks for the video, however this one is liquid glass that's fused to the display and can't be removed.
Try covering it with tpu screen protector.
I am using this https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07MKKCTC4/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_btf_awdo_rAVCFbFXXKMMH
It was able to hide scratches on my phone. Quick tip, just be patient in letting it cure for 24hrs. Follow the instructions carefully.

Try reapplying liquid glass on it. Might be just the nanolayer is scratched and reapplying the liquid glass will fill in the area.
