Screen Protectors

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.

[REVIEW] Skinomi Tech Glass™ Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Full Coverage Screen Protector

I know most of us (if not all) keep looking for that perfect tempered glass screen protector for our phones (not to mention that it has to be curved of course).
Today I received my Skinomi Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge tempered glass screen protector, and I'd be more than happy in sharing my review of the product.
Packaging:
Packaging is retail. I pre-ordered from their website directly (rather not deal with Amazon), and I got a cool coupon that saved me 25% .
What comes included is your screen protector, fiber cloth, alcohol cleaning cloth and dust lifter screen.
Installation:
I'm going to be completely honest here; This is my first time installing a tempered glass screen protector. Much less a dry installation. I've always used invisible shield for my previous devices so I was expecting a hassle. This was by far the easiest installation I've ever done. Super easy!
Fit:
The fit is not as great as I'd expect it to be. It doesn't cover the phone fully on the edges, you can still see some small space that's left uncovered (I've attached pictures for your leisure). I'm sure that I've installed it as best as humanely possible (actually quite proud of that haha).
The capacitive buttons on the bottom or probably my main issue; The cover completely warps them. The cutouts on the glass protector don't match the cutouts on the phone itself. This causes the buttons to look weird and warped when they light up. I personally don't care (now if this is a mistake and someone from Skinomi is reading this, then please reach out!), the case does what it's supposed to do, but I feel that it makes the fact you have a glass protector on your phone obvious.
Feel:
The protector feels great, you really can't tell there's something on top of your screen. Touch sensibility is weird around the middle towards the left edge on my particular protector (I do have to press slightly harder in order to get a response), but I'm having that after 24 hours that problem clears out.
Final thoughts:
I actually like the protector overall. It's not bad for the price I payed (although I was expecting a better fit for the buttons and a better fit around the screen itself). I'm guessing that as long as the screen protector doesn't come off like the Spigen one I would consider myself happy.
I know the pictures are not the greatest, but If you guys want better ones or different angles or something just let me know!
Hope this helps!

Are those glittery specks permanent?

Yes they are.

I own this as well. My personal take on this is 7/10. Only thing that bothers me is the edges.... How they aren't as sensitive

Exactly my thoughts. If the edges were more sensitive, I wouldn't care about the rest.

I'm very impressed with this tempered glass. SGP use to be my favorite for all my devices but I'll start considering Skinomi tempered glass going forward.
There are some sensitivity issues on the left side but hopefully that will go away once the glass settles in and will report back if it does or doesn't go away later in the week. What I mean is that I would have to press harder than normal.
Here is a pic with the glass before installation. I just realized I still had the clear plastic covering my lens after I took this picture and will add a few more pictures with it being installed once I borrow a colleagues camera phone.
It looks so beautiful once installed and no bubbles like the SGP curved one. TBH, hyped went away once I started to get sensitivity issues on the left hand side and hopefully it will go away after a few days.
EDIT: after re-aligning the glass, I don't have any sensitivity issues anymore. You might have to re-aligning it a few times if you're off. Don't worry, you won't lose any stickyness. This tempered glass is worth buying IMHO.

What screen protectors do you recommend?

Hi, I've bought recently this phone and wanted a sturdy screen, preferably a glass tempered one but I've got no idea what brands to go for or if those that you can buy cheap on ebay are enough. I'm a bit clumsy so the possiblity of it slipping out of my hand by accident and falling on its screen is there. If anyone can give some input based on experiences, that'd be great.

Cheap plastic ones from amazon always seem to work fine on all my devices.. When they get scratched I have no issues throwing on a new one.
They are cheap but keep the screen flawless

hi, i am using nillkin H+, i bought it from amazon
Things i liked in this Nillkin :
1) my friends tempered glasses catches scratches, fades after long time use (4 months) and makes screen unusable in rain, but as nillkin is having real nano coating it helps me to operate my phone even in rain with out much problem
2) i bought a tempered glass before worth 270inr from ebay it was good to look, but when i was about to remove it as its not having Nano coating on it, then i observed that it cracked and formed small powder fragments on edges when i tried to remove it with hard plastic :silly:
later i installed nillkin, had to remove this also as i didnt manage to fit it perfectly on my screen.. i used the same hard plastic, this time Nillkin tempered didnt break nor atleast formed any tiny fragments, i lifted it and set again with out any problem
these are my observing on my tempered glass

I bought a tempered glass one for around $3 on eBay, haven't gotten it yet. I don't know if the more expensive ones are better, but better can mean 2 things. Either that it's stronger, so won't break easily; or that it protects the phone better. I doubt one will protect the phone more than the other.

I do the same thing. No problems yet.

I bought a nillkin H+ but removed it after a while because the phone screen is much less oleophobic. With the screen protector on, the fingerprints were extremely annoying, at least on my sample.

So can anyone recommend a really good high quality glass screen protector without flaws? If there is none then i'll order motorola official flip shell...

The $3 ones on eBay don't have flaws. I have one and I know other people who have them, no one has any problems with them. Just first learn how to put it on so you don't break it.

Undersized
I bought a tempered glass one from an online (no brand). It's undersized, about 1.5mm all around. Probably useful to allow a case to grip the front edge, but the description didn't say so. I feel cheated, but for the price it'll do.
My previous tempered glass ones (branded) were excellent protection, and felt better on my finger than the plastic ones.
[edit] I forgot to say, the shape is one with cut-out north of the top speaker, rather than the others I've seen with speaker hole.

Moto G Premium Quality Screen Protector is Anti Glare Matte edition in my recommendation.
it Protects your device from scratches & dust. Easy to Apply , Fits perfectly and requires no cutting. Comes with a cleaning cloth and application card. Easily removable with no sticky residue or marks

Tempered glass screen protector from amazon
I've been using a SPARIN tempered glass screen protector since I got my moto g in August. (It's about $8 on amazon; unfortunately I can't post a link, but it should be easy to find)
I've managed to crack it in at least 8 places (my phone falls a lot), but it hasn't picked up any scratches yet, and it's protected the actual glass underneath. If you're even a little proficient at holding things, it should be fine.

Snakehive protector
I've only had it a few days, but I bought a Snakehive tempered glass protector for my new G3, from their Amazon store. Very pleased so far. It has cutouts for the mouthpiece at the bottom and for the earpiece, light sensor and camera at the top, although at the top it doesn't surround them for some reason, but that's only a couple of milimetres uncovered. It was a breeze to put on when compared to film protectors. I laid it over the mouthpiece and it simply eased itself into place over the rest of the screen. Seems a bargain at the current £3.95.
I'm wanting to get the flip down case from Snakehive too, assuming they get more stock in.

First day of smartphone, yes good idea to have a screen protection. But now with gorilla glass, useless.
It's my point of view.

I used and have a Mr shield or something like that from Amazon super easy too install i've had no bubbles when placing it on the phone also bought a case where there was enough space that should it fall on the screen side it's not touching the floor I've dropped my phone about 5 times over the course of a year. Took off the case and replaced the screen protector and it still looks like brand new minus where I've blindly inserted the USB cord.

10 days to 1 year since i purchased the device . never used any screen protector and been 8 month since i didnt use any case either.

my phone has some minor scuffs and little bend on bottom right corner but thats coz the phone fell from above 5 feet . must say the build quality is very solid

Honestly, you just don't need them these days. Had my G3 6 months, not a single scratch and I am hardly careful with it, gets thrown in pocket with keys and lose change, and dropped often because I am clumsy. Plenty of dents along the bezel but screen as good as new.

Suggestions for screen protector

Decided I shouldn't go without a screen protector, looks like the tempered glass ones won't work well because the screen in curved on the edges. Anyone have experience with or can recommend a good one? I often see suggestions on here that I couldn't find on my own and I'm thinking one of you guys can help.
By the way i went with this case:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M15T2I3/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1
I like it except that the camera and volume buttons aren't cut outs. It fits the phone well.
I appreciate any suggestions.

Same boat as you. The ones offered Amazon all seem to complain about them being too thin, bezel to bezel.

The only one that I have found for the phone that fits properly so far is listed below. It's not glass but works great.

Nillkin has crappy cases for F5321 that offer little more than scratch protection, and you're incessant advertising for them across the all the device boards is obvious, so you can hardly be considered objective. Please go troll your mother and go away. There are people here looking for serious solutions.

I decided to go with the Skinomi as well, put it on my XC yesterday. Very happy with the results, it's been a while since I have used a non-tempered glass screen protector and for some reason I was expecting the touch screen to be hard to use and the experience generally unpleasant. This wasn't the case and it fits perfectly. recommended.

I saw those but have seen to many negative things about G Color protectors to ever try one out myself. Lots of videos on youtube about them being crap.

I got these ones from ebay and they're a perfect fit. Quite easy to apply and cover right to the edge of the curved screen.
Worthwhile watching the video before starting. It's been on a few weeks now and no finger marks and the feel is good

I ordered one of those g color protectors yesterday. I'll be that guy that tests it. Should get it sunday. If its moot I'll try that skinomi one. I kinda want the skinomi one just for the rear protector.
edit: Ok got it in yesterday. Packaging was nice and it came with the normal included things. Putting it on was kind of a pain in the ass. This was mostly contributed to the curved screen but it is doable with some patience. I messed up putting it on the first time and lifted it up gently and repositioned it. The adhesive was just as sticky as the first time so there is room for error. I have a cheap jelly case off amazon on it currently until my devil case comes in from overseas but it does not have any conflict with the screen protector as long as you get it on next to perfect.
Clarity is good except for one small small detail and another really annoying detail. The small detail is you can see a line around the boarder between the glass and the "carbon fiber". While annoying I can understand that it's 2 different materials and I don't see how you couldn't have that problem. The really annoying one is it cuts off some pixels on both sides of the screen. It isn't really noticeable until i use reddit sync which then when viewing the comments it becomes apparent. It kinda irritates me but for the moment I'd rather have a couple of blocked off pixels then the screen exposed.
I give it a 6/10 mostly because of the cut off pixels. If it wasn't for that my initial rating would be more of a 8 or a 9/10. I will comment later on down the road if I experience the adhesive pulling up.

Lol, I am positive I saw your review on Amazon when I left mine (we also have the same case). Anyhow, although I disagree with the installation, I agree with everything else. Installation for me was slightly confusing, but really easy once I understood what to do. Air bubbles were a pain to get out, but that's to be expected. As for the quality, it's perfectly fine except for your two points. Mostly your second point: the pixel cutoff. While definitely bearable and not very noticeable most of the time, in certain apps it really is irritatingly noticeable. I would have to recommend against getting this screen protector and waiting until a better one comes out. I'm keeping it on until I find a really good case and/or a better glass screen protector.

Has anyone tried the Nillkin "Amazing H tempered glass screen protector"? Would really like to know if it's any good because I enjoy their frosted case.

Looks like Devilcase now offers a curved glass screen protector: http://www.twdevilcase.com/en/index.php?menu=prod_detail&mid=21&did=7&pid=5280&list=class
BTW, their case for this phone is really thick. Not as stylish as their early, asymmetrical cases :/

This is not great, but is the best I've found so far. It's not got perfect adhesion on the edges, but I've tried the super soft screen protector, flat glass and curved glass with glue only on the edges so dirt gets under it. I'd love to find a curved glass one that has glue all over it instead of just a tiny but around the edges.

I'm also looking for a curved screen protector that "glues" properly (direct contact) to the entire screen, not just the edges.
It doesn't have to be tempered glass either, simple cheap TPU would work fine.
The ebay one mentioned above doesn't ship outside of UK, so it's no good for me.

I have a problem with that screen protector, it turns proximity sensor always on, so you can't access the phone in call.
When I removed the devilcase curved glass screen protector, the proximity sensor starts to work again.
Seems that roxfit screen protector has similar issue.

glass or plastic screen protector? (xz1)

It seems like there are quite a lot reviews saying because of the curved screen, there is adhesive only at the edge so some people say there are issues with dust getting into the center part and reflection issues.
So is plastic films a better option?
If not, is there a brand that is found to work with XZ1?
Thanks

Plastic is fine to avoid scratches but avoid breakage. Glass is fine to avoid scratches and breakage. My phone(s) slipped out of my hand or fall down for other reasons, till now only the glass protector was broken not the screen.

Buy a glass one that is full coverage, and use LOCA glue for it. I personally bought "Screen Protector for Sony Xperia XZ1, Olycism Full Coverage" and "Octopus Glue - Liquid Optically Clear Adhesive (LOCA)" and it looks perfect (except for a tiny bubble which I would have removed, but sadly I didn't notice it until after the glue cured. As for the glue itself, you need around 1.5 milliliters of it. Just make sure you don't put more than 1.5 milliliters or you might end up with glue inside the earpiece.

Do you have any pictures of that?

Notice how the Sony logo is hard to see and much whiter than the surrounding area, that is because I didn't apply LOCA glue to the logo just in case it leaked into the earpiece. If you do use LOCA glue make sure you don't overdo it because if it gets into the earpiece you're basically screwed.

I've tried over 4 different tempered glass protectors and 3 of them still had the adhesive side issues (not fully placed on the side so it leaves an "unadhesived" portion all around the sides). The one that completely covered everything was the Dooqi Full Curved 3D one previously reviewed here BUT there is a visible rainbow colored spot in the middle that doesn't go away. The 3 I've tried were the Nillkin H+PRO, Khaos Tempered Glass 6-pack and regular Dooqi Premium Tempered Glass. This is just hopeless finding a good tempered glass protector. I don't really want regular screen film or the hassle of having to use glue on the protector

I tried only one from Moodie full cover curved (German brand). Probably rebranded Dooqi, cause same as yours it's full covered but rainbow spots. And the screen seems dull, oleophobic is non existent. So I'm looking for the best one and on Sonymobile forum, someone recommended Japanese brands Deff and Rasta Banana. Found one review about Deff on Amazon.jp. But only one star. Well, kinda a relieve cause ordering international seems complicated. Rasta Banana review is on a Chinese site. But it seems more like product advertising.
On reddit xperia I stumbled on a Youtube review, presumably the best xz premium screen protector. The guy says he tried many screen protectors too.
There is a xz1 version too. But it uses custom adhesive. Not sure about it, but tutorial looks very easy and from the comments it's easy to remove too. It's from InvisShield.
I'll give it a shot or there is another full curved from Brando Workshop. But not sure if I won't get the rainbow spots again. I hate to get the same one lol.

I don't understand why you two keep doing the same thing over and over, stop buying those types of protectors already. What you need to do is either buy one of these:

Or if you're brave enough like me, buy your own LOCA glue and 'curved' glass screen protector and apply it yourself. My application came out perfectly, as you can see with these blurry pictures:
