Just an FYI for anyone wanting a quality screen protector until they come out with tempered glass (fingers crossed). The Green Onion designed for the original Xperia tablet works perfectly with the Z2 tablet...
I ordered a tempered glass screen protector for my Z2 on Amazon, it fit the edges well but the whole which I assume was for the camera was way to far to the right. Ordered a different on to see if itfits better.
Appears the hole is for a sensor as the second had the whole in the same place. http://amzn.com/B00U8P9NUA

I've installed the in the box screen protector, it will do its job but its cut the same size as the shatter protector so was a nightmare to align without it going off one side but not the other. The application was the hardest of any I've ever applied as the shatter protector attracts dust like a magnet! The edges are already picking up dust so I'm on the lookout for a replacement.
I've got some Terrapin ones from Amazon...anyone tried these yet?
I've a feeling a wet apply protector would be best for this screen, as I'd expect them to be big enough to overlap the edges of the shatter protector.

I got a pack of these..
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180983297773?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
they are a like a foil and very hard to apply indeed. Ended up with a lot of bubbles but was able to get rid of most of them, only with few where the dust particles settled.
It is very clear and leaves the screen smooth to use. Also they only have the cut for the front cam and does cover the sensor areas whereas the terrapin ones seem not to cover the sensors as well. Ordered a terrapin pack too off Ebay as a comparison.
The Terrapin ones I ordered from Amazon just arrived today (I bought the 10-in-1 pack) and they seem very good so far - the screen no longer attracts dust like a moth to a flame. It was a bit difficult to apply at first (it took me 3 attempts) but I finally got it nice and smooth with only a few bubbles around the edges where I think it lost it's stickiness due to me trying to peel it off again to reapply.
At the price of 10 for £3.49 I'm quite happy with these,
I have too installed the in box screen protector (above the anti shattering film) on my T
Now i am looking for a fingerprint-proof film
Sony japan sell various films (glossy, matte, fingerprint, privacy) but unfortunately it's for their "GX" (same as TX) model
Any one heard about this brand ?
http://www.bodyguardz.com/screengua...-skins-films.html?dir=asc&order=sort_priority
I am more interrested by the figerprint-proof part and wouldnt like the screen to become fuzzy because of the Antiglare
Doesn't the phone come with a factory screen protector? Mine looks like it has one. I received a screen protector with my Incipio case, but didn't put it on since it looked like mine had one already. Didn't know if that would affect the screen sensitivity.
I think the phone come with a preinstalled anti-shattering film. (but it's a little confusing since there is no mention to that in the manual or box)
It can act as a screen protector too, but you can put another one above if you want to keep it in mint condition.
I have absolutely no sensitivity problem with the factory film + protection film

Yes, all xperia phones (Correct me if i am wrong) come with a factory fitted protector. And the first thing you should do is take it off and dont bother with them
IMO the protctors get sctatched very easilly and atract dust, whist the bare screen is very durable and looks cleaner.
I dont use a case and keep my phone in my pocket with car keys, house keys and loose change. The screen never gets scratched. And I have done that on my x10, my neo and now my T.
Disclaimer, if you take the protector off and then drop a working diamond tipped drill onto it and it scratches the screen, thats not my fault
So you think the factory installed "supposedly shatter-proof film" is meant to be removed before use (if you didnt like it) ?
like on my xperia s e my tablet s , i took it off on my XT and is so smooth ... the glass feel is 100times better then the plastic and the screen is sharper .. the screen protector preinstalled is so thick...

I'm glad you mentioned this. Has your Xperia T attracted particles underneath the camera or the gap between the display and corners while in your pocket? It may be too early to tell, but it seems all phones are prone with the issue.

so the issue I have is the feel of the screen with the think layer on it (not the free protector in the box or the other you can buy and apply).
So I too would be tempted to peel, but who else has done this.
Glass would indeed feel better.
Any idea if screen protectors for the original Z tablet are going to fit on the Z2?
Go with Tempered Glass Protector!

I personally bought this from ebay: H1 Ultra Thin Clear Tempered Glass Film Protector F Sony Xperia Z2 10.1" Tablet
I have put it on my z2 and it looks great and I have the extra protection.
I actually didnt think these tempered glass were really what they say they are, but this weekend, my phone, z1s fell and had a crack on the screen. I was so upset! :crying: But when I inspected it closer, I noticed the crack was on the tempered glass I have on it!!!! :victory: so it really did work and absorb the break. So that $10 glass saved me a bunch of money!!
So if you dont have one, think about getting one. Well worth the $15 you pay for.

screen protectors for Xperia Z tablet works on Xperia Z2 tablet, im using it on mine atm. it fits perfectly if youre still wondering .
anyone got any suggestions for matte ones?
I bought an ebay cheapie. It works re: anti glare and has actually really helped the fingerprint magnet factor / made the surface 'slide' better, but it has a weird polarising effect that's clearly visible as a sort of strange colour/pattern overlay, so on the fence about whether it was the right move or not...
On the first Sony Tablet S there was an official screen protector that had all the anti glare properties but didn't show a funny pattern, I'm looking for basically that effect.
I bought this tempered glass screen protector from eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/191544717348?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Not too expensive and it arrived very fast from Hong Kong (1 week) and in a crazy overdone packaging. It was inside a large foam box, so no chance of it breaking in shipping
It comes with a wet and dry wipe and installation is like every other glass screen protector. It was a bit tricky to get it on, since it's so large, but I managed on my 2nd try. I'm pretty happy with it, no bubbles and no weird colors. I was hoping it would bring less fingerprints, but it seems to be about the same as without. The screen touch seems to be better though somehow.
Also keep in mind that the hole on the protector isn't for the front facing camera, but for the ambient light sensor! At first I thought I had received the wrong item
I recently changed from my normal plastic screen protector for a 0.3 MM glass screen protector and love it! Looks way better than plastic ones, resists scratches much better and I can slide my finger over it much more easily. Would definitely recommend a glass protector. Buy one for your phone to try it first if you're unsure as they do cost quite a bit more, but for phones aren't much more expensive than cheap plastic ones.
Hi guys,
I'm here to write a bit about these accessories I bought for my Motorola Moto G 2014. I needed to buy a protective case so after a lot of time searching I found this in stock:
Cotechs® - New 2014 Motorola 5" Moto G 2nd Gen Smoke Black Gel Case Skin TPU Cover - Includes Screen Protector
For the price I believe there isn't better than this. I ended up paying around £5 for shipping to Portugal. It arrived a couple days ago and I'm very happy with it. It really makes me secure to use it and the grip is fine. All ports are cut as expected, just didn't work well with stock screen protector, it started to get out. I didn't try the screen protector that came with this package, but it's a good extra surely.
Then to protect the screen I didn't want a regular plastic screen protector and did a search about tempered glass and ended up buying one, which seemed very great for the price. Shipping is free worldwide:
Ultimate Shield Motorola Moto G 2nd Gen Tempered Glass Screen Protector
This is exactly as described in Ultimate Shield's website. Almost no fingerprints and I tried to scratch it with a sharp knife and nothing happened! I recommend it a lot, a must have for any phone I believe. It didn't change the screen appearance and the screen's response, and the sensors work well with it too.
If you have any questions you can ask me here. This combo works well and keeps my phone safe from almost everything
I've had GLAS.t NANO SLIM Premium tempered glass on SGS4 and it was a PITA in the end since the edges were sharp (although they stated it's so thin you won't have any problems with it). The modern gestures - swipe from the edge of a device were highly uncomfortable. Not mentioning the edges of the protector protruded from the device, suffered a lot. It eventually started to shatter very lightly from the edges, becoming very sharp there. Is it protruding on Moto G? If yes (by even a fraction of a millimeter), I'll pass I think (based on my experience). On the other hand I must say it was the best protector in the matter of visibility and feel. The touch feel and sliding was identical to the original. All plastic protectors I tried did have at least slightly grippy feel (at least a tiny bit) compared to the glass.
With my Z1 compact I was able to find a tempered glass protector for the rear panel. Whilst also having one on the front it kept my phone pristine all over.
I cant seem to find a rear tempered glass protector for the rear of the z3 compact, that has a cut out for the camera and flash.
Does anyone know where/when this might become available?
Or what effect if any would there be if i just stuck a tempered glass protector on the back that didn't have cut outs?
Cheers

1 has been posted in the "Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories" section about 8h ago, did you even look there?
Obviously not, thanks for your pleasant reply!
I purchased a Screen protector from Ebay ; http://www.ebay.com/itm/390972400778?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT It cracked under the edge one day, and one day I found a crack that I thought was the phone itself but, after running my fingernail along the surface I knew it was the protector itself after my nail caught where I thought the screen had cracked underneath the protector.
My question is, does anyone have any protectors they recommend and live by? for a Sony Xperia Z3 D6633?
