I dropped my phone flat on the concrete and now it has many small holes in the anti-shatter film. Is it a good idea to remove? Or is it better I took it to a shop such as the local sony store?

Annoying problem, any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thin scratch on my front screen. Still have the original screen protector on but I can see a rainbow effect when on a white background. Not sure how I picked it up because so far have been real careful with it.
Will removing the Sony branded screen protector affect my warranty? What should I do now to protect my screen? Obviously it isn't scratch proof!!!
Can I buff it out?

Before you remove it on your own, maybe you should ask on service, if they can replace it for you. Maybe they will replace it for you for free... Also they will tell you, how is with warranty, if you remove it. Otherwise, there are SO many threads regarding screen protector removing etc. And this screen protector is not for protect it against scratches, it's known about it that it is shatter proof protector!
But is there a scratch proof and shatter proof one. Thanks for the reply

Scratch resistant is the glass. Shatter proof is the sheet on top. There is no additional "scratch proof" layer

The screen protector you are talking about is a shatter proof sheet, not a scratch resistant. Thats why some comes with a screen protector included in the box.
I removed the shatter proof "screen protectors" after getting some scratches on them, as per the instructions in the manual. Can't imagine they'd do anything to void your warranty considering it's in the manual.

I don't know where you are seeing this, but there are no such instructions in my manual
Are you talking about the bundled screen protector that you put on yourself?

It's the anti shatter film that scratches easily.

Maybe I have not explained well sorry ... I meant the glass at the sides that reflective
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 have just made a huge scratch in my anti-shatter film. At least I think it's just the anti-shatter film and not the glass itself.
Is there any way to replace the anti-shatter film with another that is scratch free?
Or any suggestions to what else I might do to get rid of it?
Thanks,

*bump* - sorry guys. I just really need advice and to hear if someone has experience with this subject.

They don't sell spare antishatter films. It is part of the screen, as Sony describes them.
Although you could always replace it with any screen protector. Keep in mind that peeling off the ASF will also remove the Sony logo of the screen.
Given it is made of pretty soft plastic, I wonder if it can be polished?
i know about the anti shatter film having the logo on the front i might remove it anyway since there are scratches, is there any way for a replacement even if it is not official? and also is there anti shatter film on the back glass and if so is the logo on the glass or the back protective film? thanks

thank you for your help the back one came off after about 5 minutes after i got momentum lol now for the front one
I personally do not know why people didn't invest in a regular screen protector for the front and back. So the one Sony provides won't get scratched. I personally am a screen protector kind of guy.

well the back one doesn't need one in my opinion looks better without it
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

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.
