Protection for Z1S (T-Mobile USA). Any recommendations?

HI there. Just ordered my Z1S and I'm really excited. Unfortunately it is new, limited to one carrier, and designed slightly differently than the international equivalent. So that means it's hard to find accessories.
I'm wondering if there are any manufacturers I should look out for that might produce a product I could use to protect the glass on the front and back. From what I've seen they are in fact pretty shatter-proof, but seem to scratch very easily.
I've never been the type to ever put a case on my phone, personally I think they detract from the beauty of the device, but I've seen some Nillkin glass screen protectors that don't look too bad.

I bought the Nilkin tempered glass for my Z1. Will never use any screen protector but tempered glass from now on. Really happy with it.
Couldn't get the link but search for this on eBay.

I already contacted the seller on ebay to see if they could source it for the Z1S. I don't see why not. That stuff all comes from factories in Shenzen and Shanghai... they can pump out stuff so fast. They have accessories made long before a device is announced.

My understanding is that the phone comes with the factory screen protector already installed

And in my experience when something is shatterproof it tends to scratch easily. Just like when something doesn't break it bends. There's always a tradeoff when you want lightweight protection.
There's some nasty scratch tests on youtube with the z1. Some drop tests too. Didn't shatter, but it didn't look pretty after.
If I can put an additional layer of strong glass on the front and back protect the nice stuff underneath... worth it.

Did you ever find a good screen protector? I got a scratch on the factory one and want to remove it to replace it. At least I hope the scratch is only on the protector...
Thanks

Check out xtreme guard, they have both wet and dry install screen protectors for Z1s. I got both but used wet first.
So far, our Z1s doesn't have a reliable glass protector. I'm waiting for spigen to have one.

Screen protector

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.

that's the factory-applied anti-shatter sheet. it scratches VERY easily...
it definitely isn't tempered glass tho... far from it...

I'm French and I have searched desperately a web site to buy a tempered glass but this is a total failure. Impossible to find any tempered glass for the ZR.
I have searched with all keywords possible : C5502 C5502 M36h Xperia ZR Xperia A So-04e dogo
I found only one on Amazon UK but impossible to ship it to France. I find also some tempered glass on alibaba.com but this web site is dedicated for large orders and professionnals.
If you find something please share the links. :good:

Sony ZR Tempered Glass
Hi,
I'm thinking, since we're all looking for it and alibaba do sell it in bulk, what we can do is to get total order and we can negotiate with alibaba to proceed with maybe 50 pcs?
Let's work together ! what do you all think? :highfive:

I received it last week.
For now, it's great. A the start I was just a little bit surprised by the thickness of 0,3mm, it's really bigger than plastic films. But after all it's good!
As usual I didn't make any bubbles by applying the protection.
It seems pretty strong. I scratched (slowly !) with cisors and there is no marks.
I take care of my phones, before the tempered glass protection I had a plastic screen protector and I was almost intact after 1 year. So I think that this tempered glass will last a long time. :good:
I have just 2 remarks about the tickness.
Firt, when you pull down the notification bar from the right, at the start it's strange to have the edge of the tempered glass under the finger but get used to it.
You can see the top profile here : http://hpics.li/735c1cb
The second remark is about the left and right edges. I use a case to protect my phone and with the 0.3mm of tempered glass it's more pleasant to slide my finger over the screen in left and right slides because the gap between the case egde and the screen is smaller.
You can see that here : http://hpics.li/50a3d32
To conclude, I recommend this tempered glass! And it's pretty cheap compared to tempered glass for other phones. Try it!

Nice to hear that. ZR comes with shatter proof sheet on the scratch resistant glass. So you removed that and then put the tempered glass protector
what was the price of it? I heard its very costly. A retailer told me its around INR 1000

No I didn't remove the factory screen protector!
I put my protections on the factory protection. In fact there is 3 layers :
touch screen glass → factory plastic screen protector → tempered glass
If you remove the factory plastic screen protector the "Sony" logo comes with it and your warranty will be canceled.
So let the factory screen protector and put a protection on it!!
About the cost, for me in France it's 3.53€. With a convertor you can see that 3.53€ is equal to INR 250.
For me in France, 3.53€ is cheap.

Oh so scratch resistant glass > shatter proof sheet > tempered glass protector.
Isnt the visibility affected?

I don't trust the scratch resistance of the screen glass. It's not Gorilla Glass.
No problem about visibility or touch sensitivity! The visibility depend of your talent when you apply the protection. If you don't make bubbles the result will be great.

Tempered Glass Screen Protectors?

Hi Guys
Is anybody aware of tempered glass screen protectors that ship to the UK for the N10?
I'm not at all interested in the film protectors, just the tempered glass ones.
Thanks.

Sadly, this is just another film screen protector rather than proper tempered glass. The search continues...

Damn. I've got a feeling that they're not in production anymore. I mean this tablet is coming up to 4 years old and it didn't really sell that well or was that popular compared to the nexus 7 or anything from apple.

Mi Note 3 Tempered Glass, Full Cover

I've ordered at about 5-6 Tempered Glass for our Mi Note 3, and it wasn't easy to find one which fitted our phone perfectly. If you'll order one, than search for 'full cover'
This one fitted our display perfectly and is rounded and cheap, too:
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/LITB...-Xiaomi-anmerkung3-Glas-Film/32846070628.html

Yep, finally gave up searching for a fully transparent one as none fits edge to edge, ended up buying the one you posted and somewhat satisfied because it covers edge to edge, albeit the precision is a bit questionable and the matte finish gives different impression of blue (it's more like purple). NVM, my back cover is protected with a transparent TPU case and I can still myself in the "mirror" which is very helpful for back camera selfie (I love to do that because pixel2mod front camera won't work in advanced features like bokeh).

I have a few ones`s: At the moment i use one 9H tempered, and with colour blue. Not the qualith of a Ultimate Shield or Nilkellin, but it works so far...
And covers all screen.

Im using this for my Blue model:

Of course is not a Nilkellin or Ultimate Shield, but covers it all.

Since mi note3 has curved edges, I bought soft protectors form taobao. Glass protectors dont fit very well.

Ace case do a tempered glass one that fits the corners perfectly. The main issue with it is that only the top and bottom coloured sections have glue on. Hard to explain but the part coving the screen doesn't so the slight air gap does effect viewing quality after a month or two.
I just got a ace case invisible screen protector to replace the tempered glass one and it is excellent. Obviously it won't protect as well from a large fall but I think it should still do a good job.
It's a soft plastic screen protector that you apply wet to the phone and it drys out after a few hours. Perfect fit and the quality is excellent. Feels good under the fingers and is very resistant to smudges. I'm really impressed so far.
