[Q] Best Screen Protector

Can you guys post the brand screen protector you're using and your thoughts? I'm just looking for a protector and flirting with the idea of a full skin. No bulky plastic or gells, I don't want to hide this beauty! Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I don't think you need to buy a screen protector, this phone has gorrilla glass

Damn, this phone doesn't have gorilla glass. Got HTC HD2 with gorilla glass before, so I can compare.
Got the Vikuiti DQC160 from amazon for about 10 bucks. Ist really good an worth every buck.
Greetings

yes it does dude!
Go to the gorilla glass website and see for yourself.
but either way you can still buy a screen protector for the heck of it

As for the beach i dont know, havent tested it with sand.

Thanks for the info, I'm a n00b with smartphones/touch screens so I'm already ****ting my pants before I get it because I don't know how the screen will hold up. I currently have a Sony X10 Mini for a couple months and I have a tiny scratch on it that pisses me off.

I know what you mean..my previous smartphone had some scratches on the screen and it killed me.
And your welcome dude

Screen Protector
Does the Vikuitti screen need to be cut and does it "grab" the screen or does one need other tools to make it ?
I had to buy a Vikuitti a couple months back for my Glossy Notebook, very good ...
Any other Screen Protectors working ?

Hi,
i'm using DCMuggen clear from eBay and fine.
In my opinion, the matte protectors suck... they distort the image... the icons seems very ugly...

I think you just bought a low quality matte type screen protector that's why it's look like ugly. It happens to me but my friend suggest to me that try to use CAPDASE matte type screen protector and then booom i easily notice the big difference between CAPDASE and my previous screen protector. CAPDASE gives much clearer view. It look like clear type even though it is a matte type. I choose matte type because of anti finger prints and oil. I didn't need to clean it from time to time.

XtremeGuard Screen Protector!

Always I removed the film from my Sony smartphones when were scratched, but afraid to remove the Sony logo, I intend to buy a film to not scratch the original film.
I'm afraid of losing the image quality and touch.
I found this on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/XtremeGuard...028108?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item51a810dbcc
This film is good?

Nobody !??

It's very good. But it's really hard to perfectly apply it to the device. I tried 3 times and failed miserably. lol.

Yes, series = ADQC27 clear surface protector and DQCM30 series = protector with a matte surface. I always chose ADQC27, although I think the back should be matte (anti fingerprint)

Unfortunately, no

I bought xtremeguard from 1st post and already applied it on my xperia z. Looks great. Installation was very easy. if it is wet installation you can easily move with protector on phone and than if you are satisfied you just remove water under screen protector. Now i leave my phone have som sleep to make protector fit well. I can post some photo later if you want.

Yes post a picture. Do you have any bubbles? And what about scratches? Does it scratch a lot or?

Here are photos. It is not totally perfect but for this price it is great. I also have zagg and bestskinsever and zagg is for me very expensive and not so good quality as this one. No it does not scratch a lot because it is not plastic film it is like rubber. Also like zagg and other.

Thank you for photos and short overview. Will buy it. And good job on putting screen protector very good.

I had used Zagg on my Xperia Arc but had to remove it when I had submitted my phone for housing change and it is very expensive.. I searched on eBay India and I found Gadget Shieldz.. Which is very good n almost 8 times cheaper than zagg.

U also can use skinomi they also offer lifetime warranty and are a better price. Same stuff as zagg and I personally think they are better. I never had them peeling off or getting that nasty yellow tint like the zagg do become.

Zagg is best I ever used
I got this at the store. The rep gave me an extra $50 off my XZ if I spent it on accessories (he gets commission on acc. I guess). The Zagg shield had all these bubbles in it after I put it on. I was worried. But most of them went away after a day, and all of them were gone after 2 days! Also, the surface feels great.:good:
If you've ever put a screen shield on before, you know how difficult all the bubbles are to get out. This material just doesn't care about bubbles. It's great!:good:

I use to be a zagg fan but ever since trying spigens glass t and tr i'll never use anything but tempered glass again the feels superior no finger prints not scratch it's great there's other company's also stop easy to install it practically does it itself

would still like to see pics of the phone with the casemate tough case and the spigen glass. I have rhino shield which is great but still picks up fingerprints.
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app

I'm looking for buying one, just watched the videos from skinomi, I like how to apply it with the liquid and that we can try several time to get aligned correctly (unlike sony's film).
Do Spigen and Zagg also come with a liquid or to remove re apply several times ?
Sorry for noobish question but I never bought this type of screen protectors.
also do they all works fine upon sony's anti shatter film ? I can see the logo still here in skinomi video.
Zagg ship for free in europe that's a good point too.

No Sony Xperia Otterbox case?

G'day everyone,
I've been told that Otterbox is not making any cases for the Xperia Z,
Which is very annoying as thats the case thats perfect for me as im a Tradesman.
Is there any cases out there that are similar to the otterbox defender case for the xperia z?
I cant find much topics regarding this, basically its a case with three parts, the screen protector plate, the front plate and the back plate which is very thick as i need it for work.
I've had the phone for about 3 days now - not opened due to not having a good case for my work... its killing me haha....
Basically this is the Otterbox case for the Iphone:
http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/imag...ontent//otterbox_defender_iphone5_img3_lg.jpg
Greatly appreciated,

Casemate tough case is probably the best tough case but it has no protection for the front like the Otterbourne otherwise a flip case is probably your best bet
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I remember reading somewhere that otterbox were going to make a case for the Z but that was a while ago, the casemate tough case is a great option and use a high quality screen protector to protect there.

Just saw on the otterbox website they have the commuter case available but doesn't show a pic of a xz

Don't see how that's possible considering you can't even select Sony as a brand.

Well u can but looking at it again its for a xperia x10
But I don't know how true this is, considering the website is pretty useless so probably not so

Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

Yeah I messaged otterbox myself regarding it, they haven't made one "yet" and they'll let me know if any progress of a case for Xperia z is going to be taken up. I highly doubt they will be making one as its been a bit since the phone was released. Although I decided to order the tough case-mate case, as that's the best "rugged" one I have found so far, even though there isn't much too choose from sadly.
Dying to try out the phone, while waiting for the case mate to be delivered I bought a normal TPU case because I can't wait any longer... as its just sitting sealed on my desk for a good week now... I'm actually impressed that I haven't opened it yet lol.

Tempered glass is the way to go, trust me.
Brando tempered glass rounded edition was my choosing and i'm very happy.
Built like a tank, smooth to the touch, rounded corners, 9H hardness, oleophobic coatic, has the proper sensor cuts, best buy i've made for any smartphone i owned so far....
http://shop.brando.com/Brando-Works...d-Edition-Sony-Xperia-Z-_p09084c1512d008.html
(yes it has the sensor cuts even tough the image doesnt show it)

Either rhino or the tempered glass look good, I'll try out the tempered glass and see how it goes. Looks promising. How long is the life roughly lasted from your experience?

It's real glass with 9H, it will last quite a while if you don't abuse it with constant drops. It's also rounded on the edges so it has a fairly good resistance to little chips from ocasional bumps.
No clue about the oleophobic layer, so far so good as in the first day.
I have the glass for a couple months now and it's exactly the same as in the first day i bought it, Hoping it will last for 5-6 months in pristine condition it will be a major good buy as the price it's quite afordable and the touch feeling of glass is absolutely amazing, seems the fingers just glide through the screen.

It lasts as long as you want, I broke the first one because I wasn't careful enough while putting the phone in the dock, so if you have a dock be cautions when you're about to charge your phone. Don't be scared tho, I got my second protector, been using it with the dock without a problem. But if I'm not careful enough it might break again. It won't really break, just crack (Which is essentially the same but still..)

I've checked out that case, being a metal case could be a problem for me, as I do work with electrical, as well the data speed can get annoying. I decided to get the case-mate and see how that goes. Thanks for the suggestion.

Just follow the instructions, it's quite simple tbh and much easier not to mess up compared to film/plastic screen protectors.
Bubble-wise it's nearly not a problem as with the nice squeege its easy to disperse them, the major problem is dust that may be caught between the glass and the screen, you do have some stickers that help a lot on those but only if the dust particle is near the edges of the glass, if it's in the middle you have to take back the glass to take the dust off. it's not realy a major problem as the glass glues with a substance that keeps glueing even if you remove the glass a couple of times, but just be carefull.
Be sure to realy clean the XZ shatter proof layer and try not to apply the glass in a dust-abundant environment.
Also (realy important) is necessary to understand that this brando glass is not a 100% fit on the phone entire screen. Example if the ZX screen is XX mm tall, the brando tempered glass is (XX - 0,5 mm tall) meaning that is slightly shorter than the screen, so you better adjust it to the speaker on top and start placing it 0,5 mm below it and it will fit nicely 0,5 mm above the bottom microphone. Also on the sides, 0,5 mm maximum.
This might sound that the glass is not of a good size, but after you place it on the phone you'll understand that this is even better than a "perfect" fit as the phone seems to be more rounded on the screen afterwards, trust me, you'll like it.

This would be beneficial to casemate users as the case has a little lip over the phones front so it should be a snug fit

No Sony Xperia Otterbox Case?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Of course there is, model 2000 is the best fit

Which one is the most protective case out there?

I'm planning on buying a G2 (I have a 4X HD now), but even before buying it I'm more worried about buying a case that will protect the phone against most drops. My first though was Otterbox, but I read here many people saying that the screen still cracks easily in it.
I remember breaking my Galaxy S2 screen before even buying a case, so I didn't took any risks with my 4X HD (unfortunately there aren't that much cases for it). So now I'm asking you, I don't really care If it makes my phone really "bulky". Protection over all.
And that was all mates, I hope you can give me an answer.

What ever case you choose make sure it fits you model, some fit all models while other brands have a case for verizon and a different case for other carriers. I am using a Trident Cyclops (which fits all carriers) and I couldn't be happier, great blend of protection and price. As far as not breaking the screen I haven't found any case for any phone that guarantees that.

It's a really nice case, but does the silicon layer attract dust? I had once similar kind of case from Seido which attracted a lot of dust on the silicon layer.

Buy a tempered glass protector too i´m using Iloome flex and it works well, i don´t lose sensibility. This one works well to and is a little more thicker .http://www.ebay.es/itm/310822519409?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Can I ask if the plastic of the screen protector doesn't give you a bad experience with touch screen ?
Because as I wrote here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446484&page=14
I tried the Trident Cyclops cover but the plastic of the screen protector is so rough that I decided to remove it and use instead another screen protector for LG G2.
Now I have the Trident Cyclops cover in which my LG G2 fits perfectly with not his built in screen protector but another screen protector and it is very good.
It looks like if the Trident cover was built with that screne protector I am very happy with this solution but I wnat to know also your opnion in the use of touch screen for activity like the texzting , surfind, knock on/off etc.
Thanks !

No bad experience. When i switched G2's thats the only time i had problems. But eventually tje protector worked out. Try for yourself its great

I recommend panzer glass screen protector it's a bit expensive but very protective and clear. It can be bought from smartfast.dk and shipped internationally. Event if it's cut a bit smaller than the actual screen it covers the display and doesn't attract lint.

I am using a Otterbox commuter but the defender will have what your looking for I just don't like the sensitivity of the screen protector with the defender so I use commuter with film screen protector I think I'm one of the few people who still like invisashield or xtremegaurd. FYI if you do decide to use a film xtremegaurd coupon right now is 90off2 makes it 2.20 cents for two on there website
