Does the glass scratch easily? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It seems like the phone develops New scratches on the back and front glass rather easily. I only would have a plastic pen or a key transponder in my pocket, or I would keep the phone in its own pocket in my book bag. I wanted to use the phone without a case since it's such a beautiful phone.

I have the phone for more than year. And most the time without case. All what I got is 1 scratch in the back.
BTW I always use screen protector
So I say better use protecting films on the back and front
TapaTalked from my Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Dirty Unicorns ROM!

sony has put anti shatter film on the front and the back, the tempered glass underneath dont scratch easily, if the anti shatter film scratch up pretty badly you can always take it off, lots of youtube vid on how to do it

Remove the anti shatter films from back and front of your phone. They are made from plastic and scratch really easily. Then buy screen and back protector films from ebay and install them. They are pretty easy to replace if they get scratched.
I recommend tempered glass screen protector. They "feel" great and don't scratch as easily as the plastic protectors.

Man, i use a TPU cover and an "Invisible Shield", both bought at ebay.
The TPU cover helps to prevent damage to the device as a whole while the Invisible shield protects effectively the phone screen (is made of a military material).
You can find those at the links below:
TPU Case: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250753752797&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Screen Protector: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220728211467&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Responding to your question: Yes! Definitely i think it's a best idea to have a cover and a screen shield, because otherwise your device will have a few scratches as the time goes by, even if you don't drop it accidentally. (IMO)
I have a protector on the back plastic cover but NO protector on the screen. I never use phone case. I always put the phone in my pants or jacket pocket. 3 months on & the screen is still like new.
Right now I'm using front and back but I want to take the front off just because the edge of the sheild getscrap on itand it annoys me

I roll au naturale.
Every time I get a new phone I usually end up spending over $60 on cases and screen protectors at the store, and within hours I just want to take them off.
So, this time... bareback.
No scratches on the screen, minor scuffs and micro scratches on back, one small indent on bezel. Dropped once onto linoleum.. no signs of damage.
Does the xtreme guard fit perfectly on the phone? I bought a 5 pack of some others on ebay, and they don't lay down all the way on the top and bottom of the phone. Because of the curve I'm guessing.
Also, is it a dry application?
On topic - I bought the phone last week and havent been using a screen protector. When I'm not using it it goes back into my belt holster case.

Same here. No screen protector, no case!!!!!!
Really? I want to go naked but I'm too scared to. It feels like its going to slip out of my hands. But none of the cases do the phone justice. It just looks so nice naked.
And the screen protector...I have one and its annoying cuz it gets oily and smudges all over. But this phone is my baby and I don't want to scratch it.

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
not sure whether to stay naked or cover up ;-)
Had my NS for a few weeks (and lovin' it)
First I bought a leather flip case, then thought . . . why cover up such a sexy looking phone?
then after another week I got worried again and ordered a "S" curved gel case (that looks just as good as the phone), along with a car connector and a screen protector . . .
then struggled to get the case on ! (it's not gel it's plastic) and so stiff I'm scared I might break the screen whilst pushing the phone into it
and I always seem to get specks of fluff and little hairs under the screen protectors, so I haven't put that on yet
but so far my NS screen and body has remained scratch-free and shiny

It's a phone, do you want to preserve it perfectly for the next 2 years so that the person you sell it to benefits while you suffer with a bulky case and crappy screen protector? I've dropped mine on the bathroom tile screen down and there was no damage to the screen (some slighty scuff on the plastic). You're meant to use these things, not baby them, it's a TOOL. You'll get a new one in 1-2 years (less if you're like me lol).
Using ghost armor (invisible shield) on the screen otherwise its bareback. Keep it now in a plastic belt clip that newly came out on eBay. Funny thing...Sprint don't even have the holster for this new phone

I, personally, will NEVER use a screen protector. When I see friends of mine with a screen protector on their phone, it looks so ugly!
It might not be Gorilla Glass (although I doubt Gorilla Glass is more scratch resistant than 'normal' glass), but it does have this curve in the screen, and I tell you: that helps a lot.

Screen Scratches

When I bought my phone,I ordered a full InvisibleShield from mobileden.co.uk for 20 pounds. It has been about 3 months and nothing arrived,they are not responding to emails and my screen has been scratched more that a lottery ticked in a retirement home...
Does anyone know a way to fix these,or maybe I can order another Invisibleshield that can cover these up,I cant find it in Montenegro,so how about a site with shipping?
If Im right, there should already be a factory fitted screen protector on the play. Try removing it, and try ordering off Amazon.co.uk for a new one.

Ya there's a film over your screen stock and it picks up every scratch under the sun. The screen itself is very hard to scratch, you can take your car keys and try to scratch it nothing well happen. But ya take of that film it's a scratch magnet.

There's actually one under that, it's got a great fit to it and you can't even tell it's there. If you look where the buttons meet the glass you can see there's a film on the screen. It's not really a screen protector it's a film they put on to prevent the screen from shattering if you dropped your phone kind of like safety glass in your car windshield it will still break but it doesn't let the glass fly. The problem with it is it's super soft so it picks up a ton of scratches. I recommend removing it and if you want apply a real screen protector that won't pick up scratches. Like I said it isn't really a screen protector just a soft piece of thin vinyl that scratches like crazy. To get it off get a pin or tack and pick away at it by the search button and once you get it lifted a little you can just peal it off with no problem. The mineral glass underneath is pretty dang scratch resistant but once that crappy film is off you can apply a proper protector with ease. Hope that helps some

Thx,as soon as I get an InvisibleShield I will peel it off. Maybe I should sue mobileden for fraud?
Here is what it looks like when removing the factory vinyl. I had to use a thumb tack to get it started. I pushed down hard on it to get it started, and it did not harm the glass, but the vinyl scratches easily.
Edit: ack, the camera really captures the lint. I will say the colors are much more vibrant with that vinyl off. I should have taken a before and after pic of that.

Been wondering about this as my screen has got a couple of annoying scratches on it. Good to know the actual screen is much more resistant
Editing to add that I just took it off and can confirm that everything looks more vibrant
Thank you everyone for that info especially jdsemler.
Ima buy the invisible shield in couple months
Either way i'd never realize that i got the film on the screen
Yeah, me too. I didn't realize there was another shield there. Good to know when I can afford to order a Zagshield later.
Hmm I never noticed that also I think I put my cheapo screen protector over that film

I hate the Zagg "invisible" (quite the opposite) shields. The material is so uncomfortable I would take scratches on the screen instead every day of the week. Those shields are soft plastic of some sort and the fingers almost gets stuck on them while swiping (lots of friction). No smooth movement because of that and the image gets a lot more distorted than with the original screen protector on.
I really like the original screen protector as you can hardly tell it's there and it feels good on the finger. I regreted I ever removed mine and bought new original ones and am a happy camper again. They protect against speckles very well too which the Zagg ones doesn't do either. The Zagg shields are the most uncomfortable ones I have ever used and it's hard to get it on without getting bubbles and leftovers from the liquid that distorts the image even more.
I think it's the shatter proof one that's picking up most my scratches. Can somebody post a video of peeling it off? I see a very thin line with less than a millimeter gap between the phone edge and this protector. Can somebody confirm that it's the protector I'm looking at?

The screen looks better without it, the screen is tougher than the protector so always looks better as it does not get scratched.
I keep my phone in mypocket with car keys and loose change, my screen has not a single scratch on it, but the screen protectoer always gets scratched and attracts dust....Its my one and only complaint about the phones

I don't like or use screen protectors either, that's why I'm interested in taking it off or not.
However the thing that worries me is how "oily" it remained when the girl removed it.
Right now it certainly attracts dust like crazy, but a quick rub with my sleeve and it's clean again. In the video however seems that the bare crystal is not so easy to clean off.

R: Removing Anti Shatter Screen Film
My Xperia T was not "oily" at all when I removed the screen protector. It was perfect. Just get comfortable while trying to make the first peel, because it may send you nuts.
I started from the narrow strip above the earpiece hole, used a stitch needle to weaken the protector plastic (the glass won't get any scratches from it) and then managed to lift it off the surface... it then came away easily.
Without the screen protector, I don't have dust on it anymore (i think it's electrostatically attracted by the protector). It is more oily, for sure, but the oil makes your finger slip better on the screen, and I like that.

Same for me.
I removed it 3 seconds using a needle then peeled it off, cleaned with dishwasher rinse aid (innovative alternative for proper glass cleaner) on a micro-fibre cloth.
Screen is so much better. Crisper, less dust and I'm not really getting finger print marks; same as with protector.
Glad I took it off and did the same with my X10. You do wonder though why Sony don't use top grade glass on most of their phones. Strange.
I happen to like the feeling of the screen protector it's super ultra smooth but sadly as we all know super easy to scratch I think mine retained it's scratched from a little bit of pocket lint and some bubble gum rappers kinda makes you think WTF Sony WTF any how it doesn't look like she truly cleaned the screen proper and what we all want to know is what the phone is really like with out the glued on screen protector ?
What is it made of is it any thing like my Xperia arc which doesn't feel so great after I use it with my dirty work hands but if actually clean it feels alright.

Slender watches what you do...
I have to say that the built-on proctector does not feel good to me. My finger could not glide well at all. For the moment I have put the thinnest screen protector I had for the T and that has made a world of difference.
Just a question. If Sony use some kind of shatter-proof glass (Corning's gorrilla or Asahi Dragontail (don't they make beer too?)) why do they stick a thick sheet on top. Makes me think it is not very shatter proof!
Who makes the glass for the T?
It is Corning Gorilla Glass, according to a Sony rep on Sony Mobile Forum
A follow up to the girls video,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2qdwsFd-Qw
.
But do we beleive that?
Most Gorilla glass customers state they are using it, the same way they tell you the manufacturer of the processor.
The white paper for the xperia T that came out in Sept.(ver 3) just says:
"Shatter-proof sheet on scratch-resistant glass"
Gorilla glass is shatter proof as well as scratch resistant
After noticing that the screen protector on my V was literally covered with probably 100+ microscratches from being in my pocket all the time, I went ahead and took it off. The screen looks much better now, but gets much greasier than before. No big deal, it's just like my old phone. What I really don't like, however, is that I lost my Sony logo, as it was printed on the screen protector and not the handset itself.
wow, that is a real suprise, I wonder where Xperia and Sony are printed on the T, any comments from those who took it off?

You may be right, the post at Sony Mobile were a Sony guy states it is Gorilla Glass, has been deleted.
Emailed Corning but they can't disclose info because of a privacy clause.
gsmarena state it as shatterproof and scratch resistant glass ( http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_t-4899.php )
i dont like the screen protector but as i have only had the phone for like 6 hours in going to keep it on for now
Well Sony make a distinction between the two.
"Shatter-proof sheet on scratch-resistant glass"
I did not like the sheet, so I stuck a proctector on top that that feels much better.

Do you use film in Xperia Z?

I'm in doubt buy a protective film to use the Xperia Z, but I'm afraid to lose touch sensitivity and screen brightness too!
The anti-shatter that comes standard is very easy to scratch? I mean just scratch with normal use of the fingers!
On my Xperia S, the original film it was only scratching with normal use! I removed the film and left without!
But the Xperia Z to remove the film, the Sony comes out soon too and I did not want to lose it!
1) You left without anti-shatter film, only with him or bought another protective film?
2) Someone found to sell a new film with the logo of Sony?
You could remove the file to give it a cleaner look and then you can put on a screen protector that doesn't scratch like spigen ultra thin screen protector. But if you don't want to lose the logo put another screen protector on top. You won't lose screen responsiveness unless you get really bad quality screen protectors.

Without a screen protector

Do any of you guys use the op3t with no sp? Does it last in a pocket full of keys
I've used mine without a screen protector for a few months now without a problem. Whiles keys shouldn't scratch gorilla glass in theory, it will probably mark up the oleophobic coating on the glass. I would not recommend keeping the phone in the same compartment as keys.

A thin polycarbonate case, this one to be specific.
I've been using one of my OP3T without a screen protector for a few months now and all is well! =) I'm using a case similar to the one above. My latest one came with a free gel case, but I already bought another polycarbonate case and I wouldn't want the gel one anyway cause you can see all the data through it.
I use a film protector after using my 3t for a few weeks very scratched (minor) can notice massively on certain angles .

That is a useful and informative point. It explains why folks (myself included) have noted scratches on Gorilla Glass screens, even though it is supposed be highly scratch resistant.
Personally I've gone back and forth on using a screen protector. Used them religiously for years, having owned smartphones since the old days when most smartphones did not even have Gorilla Glass, and scratches were almost inevitable if you didn't use a protector. Then on my last phone (HTC M8) I actually bought a protector, but didn't get around to putting it on (the appearance of young children in my life having led to massive procrastination of such things!). The screen seemed fine with no protector, and I ended up just leaving it that way. Going on 3 years, and that phone is still fine; although there are some very faint scratches.
On the other hand, my work makes me carry an iPhone (in addition to my personal device). I have an iPhone 6 that got a huge gouge on the GG screen about 2 weeks after receiving it. Admittedly, I don't give a crap about this phone, and often toss the phone in my pocket with keys, in my bag, etc.
So I guess the short story, is that you can go for years without a scratch (as many do). But you can also get a scratch at any time. It's that latter situation, where you end up regretting it, and wish you had a protector. In the end, it's really a judgment call.
My 3T came with a plastic protector already installed. Some folks have reported having a tempered glass protector. I'll probably just leave the plastic one on, until it gets scratched up or peels off (it's already starting to peel away at the corner near the home button), then from there decide if I want to go naked, plastic protector, or a tempered glass one.
Doesnt it come with a screen protector put on already?
I am using the stock plastic screen protector that comes installed. It protects the phone from scratches, so I thing it it very important.
I usually use glass screen protectors because they can save your screen from braking and it is harder to scratch but on the OP3\T it doesn't cover all the screen, and that really annoys me.
Never used a protector on any phone ever. The OP holds up better than most :good: I try to be a bit carefully with keys and such, but I don't really care for scratches. It's a tool, not jewelery...
I use a Spigen neohybrid, but only to hold the metal plate for my car holder. If it weren't for that it'd be completely naked. I also have a dbrand skin on it. But for the looks, not for protection... That stone with red accents is sexy :victory:

I will suggest you guys to use protection. I was using a tempered glass aftr seeing the scratches but was not happy with the quality as it was making the screen seemed to be a bit inside also the bezel and screen had greater contrast so the full tempered glass comes like that, making the phone look cheaper..also while using the home button it was not a not satisfactory due to the level difference of the tempered glass and the button.. removed that and installed old school screen guard... Im Happy now
