Hello all, I am hoping to buy the Z1S through tmobile since I had the Z and loved it. The problem I'm having is all of the tempered glass screen protectors are for the Z1 which has the proximity sensor on the left of the Sony logo. I don't know what effect it will have putting a Z1 protector on and having it cover up the proximity sensor/light sensor.
What are you Z1S owners doing for screen protectors?
Our phone already has a screen protector so I'm not putting double screen protectors one it. When the oem one scratches up, I'll just replace it.

That is true, but the Tempered glass screen protectors are very nice and I'm not sure I want to go back to the plastic film ones. Not to mention there are very few xperia z1s PET film ones that I can find.
I got this one

Does the job perfectly. I have droped the phone and the protector has chipped on the corner not my screen thanks to this screen protector.

I have the same brand on my nexus 5 and love it, but this one is designed for the internation Z1 which is why I was asking this question in the first place. The cutout for the light sensor is on the wrong side for the US version and it would be covered.
I just purchase a case and screen protector at tmobile corporate store. They have three different case and one no name scree protector.

I dont think it should i mean the glass its only 0.3 mm tick which shouldnt make as much differance for the sensors. The sensors are already covered by screen protector that it put by sony you could always take the stock screen procector off and then but the glass one on your screen.
Don't do that... Sony logo is rumored to be on screen protector.

I actually put the supplied ones on both the front and the back, and to be honest I cant tell they are on the phone at all. The main reason for doing this is because the phone is in my pockets with keys etc and yeah people will say it won't get scratched but I rather have them on for now then in a few months time take them off. Also with the protectors on you can only see a couple of finger print marks, I don't think it is as bad as say the ipad screen and this is when in certain light/angles and the screen is off.

i care mostly about fingerprint protecting i am far too careful to get scratches i will for example never put my phone next to something it is either in a plastic bag or a case
Hi, do guys use a screen protector for the rear of the Z1 or just leave it as is? I have the White Z1 and don't want scratches on the real of the z1.
Thanks!

Here you go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456985
In the "Xperia Z1 Accessories" forums.
Like you said, you don't want scratches. So just go ahead and apply one. The default anti-shatter film pre-applied to the back isn't very scratchproof.
What's the best way to applie this screen/back protectors!?. I'm worried about spending money, and then making a hash of things! :-S

I dont use a case and any screen protector.
Cases will increase the dimensions which is already long enough and screen protectors will affect the display effect which is already not good enough
No issues here with screen protector on display...

I got a Brand New EE Xperia Z1 and noticed it came with a separate screen protector. I am just wondering is this the Shatterproof Screen protector or is that already on the phone?
I am only asking as I have already bought a tempered glass one, and was happy to put it on top of the shatterproof one, but not sure if thats it or is it just a standard thing that I can take off and put the glass one on? (plus I already have bubbles on the one that came in the box!)
The one that I'd already on is the one with eh Sony branding on.

Since 2008 on XDA still posting in the wrong section:silly:
There is no screen protector that comes with the phone.
It's advised to get a tempered glass screen protector imo
I got one with my phone, in the box. I just want to buy another so I was wondering what it was.

Sony doesn't deliver the phone with a screen protector, so you'll have to ask he shop where you bought it.
But in my opinion Tempered glass screen protectors are a lot better then the normal ones.

Unless you bought it from Sony itself (the phone) there is no certainty that it's Sony that put the screen protector in the box.
Most of us that bought the phone didn't got a screen protector, so it would be really weird if Sony only sold a couple of units with a screen protector and most without one. That's why I think that
the screen protector is from a third party.
Else I want my free screen protector SONY! :silly:

I got mine from O2 UK. The box was sealed and did include the Sony Charger (O2 had a policy to not supply the OEM charger at some point in time)

(If I'm correct) Most of us got their phones with an unsealed box, so it could've been an O2 only deal.
Mine was ee in again in a sealed box with the protector in
I bought one friday, a screen protector was included!

It's been the third Z3c I've had, all of them came with a screen protector. One from Sony directly, the other two from carrier, sealed. All my friends got one. stop making "There is no screen protector that comes with the phone" a statement because it's false....and stop being a forum police.
Only complain - They are all matte screen protector which kills the details of the screen.
Cheers.

I've also bought the Z3C 3 times and none of them were either sealed nor came with a screen protector. I believe most people that bought the phone when it just came out got their device in a unsealed box.

Mine was bought from a SONY store in the US, and it came with a plastic screen protector. It is matte, and it made the screen look muddy. I used it until my tempered glass protector got delivered. The glass screen protector, of course, looks much better. I'd also imagine that a "crystal clear" plastic one would look better as well. But, TBH, the glass screen protector I ordered looks much clearer and nicer than any "crystal clear" plastic screen protector I've ever used.

Ummm...read again, most people in this thread got a screen protector.
bought direct Sony Canada in November of last year, screen protector included
I pre-ordered mine from the UK from one of the two major internet retailers and had it shipped to me here in Australia.
It came in a sealed box and there was a screen protector supplied.
TL;DR - Sealed box with screen protector from UK.
I also got one, and it sucks. Got it replaced with tempered glass, much, much better.
Hey guys i bought my phone like 5 months ago and a week later i bought a plastic screen protector.
Today i took it cause i didnt like it anymore. I have like 3 little scratches that are hard to see. Now the touch screen feels so smoth but i have a question. How resistant is gorilla glass? Have anyone never used plastic screen protector on your moto g2?

Use tempered glass screen guard. It will be as smooth as the gorilla glass.

Tempered glass feels just like gorilla glass, personally I've scratched the gorilla glass 2 and tempered glasses, small hard to notice scratches but the sand can scratch any screen

Same here. I've had mine for 7 months, dropped it on the floor, concrete, and everywhere you can imagine and no scratches. One thing that helps is the Tudia case I purchased on Amazon. It cushions very well in a drop and the slightly raised edge around the screen keeps the screen from contacting anything in case of a drop.
I'm using my phone for 5 months now without any protection, and I don't have any scratch on the glass.

You dont see it when the screen is on ans u are looking it directly, try when its off and make the light reflect on your screen then u will see them.
I got small ones before puting the plastic screen protector on now in using without it and yeah it feels so much better.

Same here .Don´t drop it,if you have it in your pocket (better in your jacket,not your trousers) be sure that there´s nothing else in it, handle with care.
I like the feeling of the screen without protector but you have to be a bit careful then.

Yeah I do the same... I never dropped the phone, I always have it in my pocket and I always make sure that nothing else is in my pocket.
It's a low budget phone with a great glass on the screen, I'm not going to ruin the user experience with screen protectors..
Actually I used my Galaxy S2 in the same way and I only got some mini scratches on it. Gorilla Glass FTW.
