So do I really need to keep on using a screen protector? I like it better without a screen protector

Guys take a look at this:

The xperia active also has the same screen as our xperia x8(I think):

And Now take a look at this video:
What do you guys say now? Do you guys still think we need a screen protector?
Its a total lie.
Our phone has Scratch-resist surface, but not a scratch-resist screen.
I would definitely recommend one. I haven't used a screen protector, got a big scratch and really regret not having used one.
Buy one in the beginning and save being furious after the first big scratch

I dont understand, whAT DOES the "scratch resistant screen" supposed to mean?
definitely use a screen protector! the x8 screen is hardly scratch resistent at all. just put it in a bag together with some keys and you will end up ruining your beautiful screen.

Well, everyone knows that puting a phone freely inside a bag plus keys and other stuff is a bad idea. Even if you had a screen protector, you probably had to end up buying another because they can also get scratches

Actually an operator in my country gave away in the past some protectors that looked just like condoms but with no lub. It was mainly to take the phone to the beach (with a knot on the condom).
It was pretty hilarious xD

I think it's some type of mistake on Gsmarena site about x8's scratch resistant display. Because some people claimed, that when they removed the screen protector because of this arcticle , they experienced scratches later anyway.
I have used x8 before recently changed to xperia active.i myself haven't test something like that video.
On the specification says :
Scratch resistant
Yes it's scratch resistant
But it's not scratch proof right
Xperia active screen is using ashahi's dragontrail mineral glass
It's almost the same technology that corning gorilla glass using
Take a look at the end of the video, Xperia active screen got scratch by the wrench

Still man...he killed it with a wrench..I mean when you will try to kill your phone with a wrench!
Is capacitive touch works well with screen protectors? as to my knowledge it is not.
I use a leather case for my X8 which i got from ebay for $2.5 or so.
great! this will be my next phone.
the screen size similar to x8.

Hello guys
to sum it up i have the Xperia Z in black. I have a sticker on it covering everything except the black lines on the sides of the phone on each side of the flaps. So the bits where it is black rubbery plastic. So i had the phone in my jacket like an idiot and normally i have a pocket i keep the phone in ususally. However yestarday i had forgotten the pocket and was carrying the phone in my jacket when i decided to take off my headset and by doing that forgot to zip up the jacket and the phone fell off top first onto concrete.
Phone works perfectly screen or any glass is not damaged at all the only damage were 2 small dents on both sides of the top of the phone. So the rubbery plastic top righ. One is near the music jack and the other one above the USB port.
So my question is since i screwed it up warranty is obviously bull****. My q is would there be any way to repair this. As in paint marker or anything that might cover it up? (except for a backplate protector or snap in ) hate all of those.
Obviously goes without saying all help would greaty be appreciated and used to reinstate my inner tranquility.
Best Regards

It is incredibly annoying to have these nicks and scrapes on it. Obviously it beats not having the phone or having broken glass, but everyone has their own problems i guess. Is there seriously nothing that can be done about this?.

I was afraid that the skeleton might have to be changed, but the skin is front and back the only visible parts left on the phone are the little black sides i got my bumps on and the front glass. I purchased mine from http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayIS...9&ssPageName=ADME:L:PMR:NL:1123#ht_6096wt_907
They have many different models i just got this one. These guys are amazing in bringing out good things i had one of those on ipod 4 used it 8 months than sold the ipod never had problems with the skin.
xperia z
is there a factory screen protector on the back of xperia z, as there is on the front. I scratched the back of the Xperia z. And if there is no screen protector back, is there a possibility of polishing
I did the same thing. I was so in love with the screen I didn't think to check out how scratch resistive the rear panel was until I had let it get sl gouged to all hell
Mines missing both the USB and heaphone flaps, front and back are cracked, there is virtually nothing left of the plastic around the outside and the bottom face is missing the sticker that has the barcode and such on...
Makes me laugh when people worry about little marks
Hi guys, just curious about this, I would like to remove the front screen protector of Xperia Z to get rid of the Sony logo (not hate it put prefer the front to be all black). Would this affect the phone's water resistant feature?
Have anyone tried this yet?
Besides, is the oleophobic coating of the glass affected? From the video below I think there's something wrong with his phone, the reflection looks pixelated

I have done it and it doesnt affect water resistant feature (its a film how can it affect the whole phone?)
the screen have little to no oleophobic feature, your best bet is to buy some rain-x spray it on there or buy another screen protector that have oleophobic property.
I'd leave it alone for the simple reason you'll regret it. I don't see how you could remove it, you can cover it over in some way but it's not going to look good and would be noticeable from certain angles.

It's scratches I'd be more concerned about, which is why I always stick one on top of the factory one because if or when I come to sell it, a pristine screen will get more than one that's scuffed to bits.

it wont scratch, it'll break but wont scratch, I had my S3 in my pocket with keys and coins (not intentionally but when in a rush) it never scratch, Dragontrail suppose to be stronger than Gorilla Glass 2 so it be ok.

IT WILL SCRATCH.
IT WILL BREAK AND IT WILL SCRATCH.
My previous xperia z had antishatter removed and the screen scratched from a sand particle hidden in my microfibre cloth, if you decide or have taken of antishatter film, put on a screen protector as soon as you can. Preferably you should put on a good quality screen protector onto antishatter film. That way you will have constant new looking phone.
Which is what I've done with my NEW Xperia z.
after taking off antishatter layer on my first phone, AIthough i was trying to convince myself that it feels better, and looks better debranded,
Everytime the beautiful nostalgic sony ad came on, and the guy took out his xperia z to take a picture of his girlfriend covered in courfull dry paint. And then washed his xperia z afterwards showing off that beautiful sony logo. My heart would sink ,as I knew my phone would never look like that ever again.

Does this have the same problem as the Xperia Z where if you remove the anti shatter film after it gets scratched the sony logo also comes off?
I don't think many people will remove the anti-shatter film... not in my case
I actually think about removing this fu.... anti shatter film, as the screen of my 2 weeks old XPeria is already scratched.
Dunno if the Sony logo is part of the film...
So nobody knows?
I don't want to remove it if I buy this phone but if it gets scratched and can be noticeable I might want to remove it. Problem is will it also remove the logo?
on the Z/ZL it's on the film but for ours it doesn't LOOK like it is... idk tho i wanna know myself since i too wanna remove it and put a nano coating
so how can we be sure of this?
can anyone in this world find out the answer to this question?
it should be easy to see if its on the screen protector or not.
which ntyprm
I 'm interested as well, but I don't want to be the first to remove the shatterproof film
You will lose the logo if you remove the film. I've get this info before purchase one, so i ask reseller paste another layer proctor film on it and get a spare film too

ha, it could actually be beneficial, if it reduces sensitivity enough to avoid water drops register as hits, while keeping sensitive enough to fingers.
Removing the anti-shatter film will void the guarantee or so some Z users said. And yes it's pretty stupid and easily scratched mine had a tiny scratch on it, almost not visible but I know the f***er is there and I used it very,very carefully while I was waiting for my screen protectors. Not really a bright ideas this from SONY.
Hi guys,
I removed the film on my XZR, and confirm that the Sony logo is embedded on the anti shatter film.

How difficult is the removal? I have heard its more difficult on the z1 than on the Z. If you have one edge loose can you simply pull it off or do you need a knife for scraping of the film?

Well, it was really easy. I just pulled off one corner with my nails (and I have not so much ) and then removed it entirely once the corner is up. No need of knife or anything else.

Hello guys,
Unfortunately i put my Xperia Z1 on my pocket the other day and when i got it out i saw a 1 milimetre chip on the aluminum casing,probably from my keys.
Is there a way to fix this? Maybe brush it with sand paper ?
It is only 1mm wide but i hate watching it

Even the finest sand paper will ruin your phone.
