[q] anti shatter film

Is the xperia z definately shipping with anti shatter film on front and back glass? If so does this mark easily or show lots of fingerprints or is it recommended to put a regular screen cover on top of this anti shatter film.
Would anyone recommend removing the anti shatter film from the glass to allow for easier cleaning of the screen

No you should not remove it, and you don't have to add another one.
The glass it self is very hard to clean as it doesn't have a oleophobic coating (or at least that was the case with the xperia T). the protector is easy to clean.

Thanks for that.

Use the screen protector that is possibly provided in the box because the anti-shatter film gets scratched and we don't like that for sure!

I removed the film from the ion, and found that the screen picks up just as many fingerprints as it did with the film on there.

You should not remove the film. It's not there just because Sony wanted to put it on - it's there because it helps prevent your phone from breaking should you drop it. Just apply the bundled screen-protector on it and go on without worrying about the screen.

You could rempve it and apply crystalusion liquid glass. It has oleophobic properties and is also scratch resistant

but it gets very easily scratched :S
I already had a few small scratches

I suggest you try one of the various cheap hard plastic screen protectors that are available. This cost only a few dollars so you can change them once every one or two months. That's what I do with my Note II

I think the point wawyed was making was your device is not scratched, the pre-installed film is.
There are quite a few threads on this exact topic already.... you can remove the pre-installed film if you wish - but you may loose your Sony logo. There are a few good replacement films out there (Spigen)
Bottom line: remove the stock film and replace, or leave the stock film - and put yet another one on top of it.

I read some informations on the net, but I` think the pre-installed one is a different kind of film
I was thinking about using a normal film over the pre-installed one

I had applied 3M Vikuiti ADQC27 to Xperia Arc S, S, T, TX and I ordered one more set for tomorrow when I get XZ. I was very pleased with this screen protector, but tomorrow I'll decide on which one to apply them: 3M or the 2 that come in the package (I ordered extra package with dockingstation, smartTags and screen protector). And yes, I put it over the preinstalled one :good:.

Where did you ordered the extra package?

get a set of these and be done with it!

The back of my phone has a couple of hairline scratches - I presume it's because of the bolts near my jeans' pocket. But the screen is fine so far. :victory:

Do you think that will be available a screen protector like the anti-shatter film that Sony put on the phone? It's scratching very easy and I'm thinking that if something similar will be available then I will remove the one from Sony and put that one. On other Xperia phones is available this kind of screen protector?

I think the chance of that happening is 1%, but I am surprised that companies haven't brought screen protectors with the sony logo/text.
Also a thing Sony could do is to bring out a services to re-apply the anti shatter sheet for us, specially since it scratches so easy.
Anyways, the reason why I don't see it happening is because the anti shatter sheet is being applied by a device, it needs to fit perfectly or it might lose it's function. Screen protectors can be applied by men, because it's only there to protect the device from scratches and such, not to stop the screen from shattering, even though normal screen protectors also do that, but on a smaller scale.

1. There is no screen protector with Sony logo because of patent / copy rights. It would be very expensive to get the right to use the logo.
2. Sony already offers the service to replace the anti shatter film. Costs about 20 bucks

20 bucks is not much but I think is not ok to charge me that money for a piece of anti shatter film that scratches very very easily, I've put an cheap film and I will look for a better one in the future to preserve this anti shatter , but extremely scratching film from Sony. That's a huge minus for them. A gorilla glass would be a perfect solution, too bad that Sony didn't think of that. But I still love the phone

I'd prefer to completely remove the anti shatter film, but something is still holding me back. Maybe it's because I payed some hard earned money for that thing, whatever don't wanna argue about that here.
I did not put any other protection film on my XZ. I think it's odd to have two on you display and to be honest there is nothing compared to real glass. the feeling is way better... still don't wanna argue 'bout that.
so I have no protection on my display and I do not use a case... "this guy is an idiot" ...I will buy one soon; I promise. For now I use a little bag where I used to keep my sunglasses. Btw Krussel has some nice covers. "get to the point dude!" ...I keep my XZ in a sidepocket of my jacket and there is nothing else in that pocket and stil I got a few scratches on my display. It does not bother me at all. You have to look very closely to see them. What I am trying to say is that the anti shatter film scratches very easy and as far as I remeber there is gorilla glas underneath... so close, yet so far. I can live with that... for now. Someday I will take it off anyway. I just love my plain black XZ without any logos. LOL, I used to put a little piece of dark tape on my old s2, just to cover up the logo.

[Q] Anti shatter film

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

So does the Z1 really comes with a Screen protector

I've seen a Youtube video where a guy removed an official Sony screen protector. No not the one with the translucent plastic pull-out tab.
He used a knife to remove it. Bad thing was, the Sony logo was embedded on the screen protector. So if you remove the screen protector, the Sony logo goes along with it.
Any of you guys tried it then used a different screen protector?

There was no screen protector on my Z1 and the Sony logo is still there.
I think you have missunderstand something.
Do you have a link to the video?

There is screen protector on every Z1 and like you said Sony logo is embedded on the screen protecton. So when you take it off the sony logo be gone.

I think you confusing something, the video shows how you can take off the Anti-Shatter Screen Protector (ASF) which come with the phone. If you look closely to the glass of you phone you will see there still a tiny screen protector and if you remove it the Sony logo will go out with him because the logo is on it. So if you apply any other screen protector on the phone the Sony logo will not come off if one day presumably you will try to remove the screen protector which you apply. BTW is not recommended to remove the original anti-Satter screen protector from Xperia device.

Eclyptos is right. And to add to it, if you remove the anti shatter film you void your warranty. So definitely not recommended

Scratch proof on screen? With the Shatter proof layer (The one holding the sony logo) yes, it is scratch proof, but without it, I do not have any idea yet

This is not correct, the shatter-proof layer scratches quite easily. The glass underneath doesn't but if you remove the layer your warranty becomes invalid.

No, what I mean is, without the Anti-Shatter film, the screen itself will be scratched, I did not say that the Anti-Shatter film itself is scratch proof

it's not scratch proof -- it is actually scratch resistant right ? i take it that it will resist scratches up to some limit. so, I do have a screen protector.
and shatter proof is very different thing. in case the glass breaks, it will break in a way to reduce physical injury to us.

I got no case on my Zr but a small screen protection only.
So far, after 8 months, I m thinking about to change the screen protection but the screen itself is fine.
I didn't use any case because I ve read too that it was supposed to be fully resistant and I only got one small scratch on the back but all the everyday small scratches tend to disappear..
So it s pretty good for me as I m living in a tropical country, I go often in small villages inside rainy forest...
You need to be careful but this phone is quite resistant.
