It's the anti shatter film that scratches easily.

The sides are polycarbonate material and it will indeed scratch up.

I thought it was glass .. polycarbonate? On the site sony speaks of polyamide fiber glass? At this point I think they are the best materials of the htc one ...

I agree
the black's screen is 100% scratch resistant. i tried the gorilla glass **** they did on youtube, like using a knife to scratch (a small part of) the screen... no scratch.
OMG, not again...................
maybe if it is not gorilla glass...
it has been totally destroyed already @@

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.

I think I'll just leave with the original anti-shatter. Will I find the anti-shatter original from Sony to buy when it is scratched?
You can try the sgp crystal screen protector.

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.

Hello,
i was reading the thread about removing the anti-shatter film and been thinking about doing it myself, however i noticed that there is no official or at least confirmed information about the glass that is used in xPeria Z. I have read that it is Gorilla glass on the front and Dragontrail on the back or the other way around, but i could not seem to find the proof that it is actually those brands that are used.
Usually, i believe, the phone manufacturers are proud of the protection they use for their screens and tend to highlight that they are using the strongest glass available on the market, yet in Xperia Z's case it is just said that it's a scratch resistant glass with anti-shatter film on it. It might be that it's just Sony that won't talk about the glass
So if anyone knows any solid info about this, please do share it .
Thanks.
I think they are both dragontrail glass.

Sony never said (in public) what glass they used, they just said "some kind of tempered glass". So I've got no clue why Amazon says Dragontail @ front and back. Why would only they have this kind of info?
Front uses Dragontrail Glass, and the back is Gorilla Glass 2 according to slides from Sony's presentation in Hong-Kong. As long as our friend from XDA got the translation right. We can be - at least - sure there's Dragontrail and Gorilla Glass on XZ.
Interestingly though, the one slide that detailed the glass components is now missing...
Here's the original thread where we found and shared the details - there was one more slide there that got removed from the site:

It got saved on other websites though, you can see it here:

In terms of resistance, which is the best? Dragontail or Gorilla Glass?

Pretty much identical. I have read stories of people breaking the back panel and some breaking the front panel both from drops or pressure applied in their pockets

Yes, i have seen this slide and also i have read that it might not be 100% true, moreover the picture is taken from someone's laptop.
Some guys here on xda seem to have sources of information from inside sony, maybe they could answer the question?
Simple question.
The glass is scratch resistant, not the screen protector. It's just a plastic film...

It's not just screen resistor. This "plastic film" keeps your phone screen in one piece if your phone fall. Taking of this "plastic film" void your warranty.
Screen should be scratch resistant as Sony said.
Good point. But... The warranty is lost anyway if I breack the glass...

It is but if you don't and you need to send it off then you can't if you remove it, so you should really leave it on.
The warranty is irrelevant. We know as tested the screen is scratch resistant?

I got a nice scratch only a day or two after removing the ASF. It's not nearly as scratch resistant as the screen on my galaxy s3 or s4 or my glass-m protector for the Z1.

This is nonsense. There are tons of youtube videos proving the contrary.
This french video shows scratch and drop tests. Once the protector is pealed it's totally scratch resistant.

See, lol, I keep getting back and forth answers when searching.

I thought so to, that's why I didn't bother putting on a new protection when I removed the original one. I also watched the videos, and I still think it will do just fine against the blunt keys and coins.
I got the scratch from normal use, carrying it in my pocket, laying on the desk and in the car. And this is the only screen I've gotten any scratches on for the last two years... The Glass-M for the Z1 is the first protector I've ever put on a phone, because I never felt the need for one until now.
Hm, miracles with this phone, like the bending story... sorry for you then...
Got off the phone with Sony. They say that it is scratch resistant as well as the back, though not as well
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I thought both panels of glass on the Z1 are DragonTrail glass? Seems like it's tough stuff.
I've seen a couple of scratch tests on youtube, and they both went very well. One used a scalpel as the final tool though, and IIRC that started to scratch it up.
I'd always leave the ASF film on the phone, and if it starts to get scratched up, I'd just pull it off and replace it with a new one. Keeps the glass in perfect condition, plus if the glass did shatter after a drop, you would be able to keep using the phone without risking cutting your fingers up. Makes sense to me...
Talked with T-Mobile Tech support and specifically asked them if they know for sure the glass under the screen is scratch resistant. The rep I talked to said specifically he has seen were people have lifted the plastic and tested it and while it is not has good as Gorilla Glass, it is indeed scratch resistant.
Funny enough, I went to the Sony store and the guys there had no idea.
It's a tempered glass and as a glass is well scratch resistant but I will not pretend to much.
*For phone users only*
What is your impression about the front and back glass ?
Are they scratch and shutter resistant ?
If I Helped, Leave A Thanks!
I find the screen to be pretty durable. If you're careful you will not scratch it. The back of mine is scratched pretty badly just above the NFC chip.
im not using any cases but i do have a screen protector on the front and i do recommend tempered glass for back because it gets scratched very easily. Glass itself seems very durable. I've been using z3c for 5 months now and everything still looks brand new. hope i helped

I have not seen a Z1 compact. While the glass looks nice on the back, yes I think it should probably be a different material because it does scratch too easily.
