I can't figure out why there isn't a thread on this in the Accessories section of the forum. Those crazy Euro guys have a few threads on this topic and we have none.
Well, be it Zagg, Clear-Coat, Lexerd, BodyGuardz, etc? Is there a comprehensive comparison out there somewhere? All I ever see from Google searches is forums with everybody saying something different and defending their single purchase.
I think almost everything is going to end up being more subjective when it comes to these.
I have used many kinds in the past and each time I get a new device I always order a Phantomskinz.
I only wish they offered just the screen part in matte, but for under $8 for two skinz shipped I have found it to have the best clarity and feel.
I am horrible at putting protectors on and something always goes wrong, but even with the little imperfections I don't notice them when using the device.
Like the Boxwave - they have both crystal and matte. Like it because it fits the tMobile version perfectly and there is protection for the entire front glass surface including around the bottom surrounding the buttons. Have had them before on all my touch and non touch screen phones. You do have to be careful when applying to avoid bubbles but it can be removed and reapplied again and again.
best screen protector by far to me is the Clarivue screen protector. http://cgi.ebay.com/2-x-Clarivue-Sc...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c1323f296
I've used it on all of my phones, ( htc dash, tilt, g1, fuze, and now my hd2) all came in a two pack, with a screen cleaning wipe, no adhesive, self clinging, I won't buy anything else.
Invisible Shield from Zagg
Second time I've used 'em. First time was on my Samsung Behold and it actually increased the touch screen performance.
Just got the full coverage on my HD2 last night. Still trying to get used to it. It's definitely more "grabby". Seems to make your fingers stick to the screen, which in turn activates an unwanted app or link. It's only been a day and I'm sure it will smooth out and become more responsive. It did for my Samsung. It will give the back of your phone a gloss look, which I don't care for, but it won't get scratches when it sits in my pocket or slides across my dash. It will fell less slippery in your hands too.
Pricey but worth it in the end. If anyone is considering it, PM me, I think I have a discount code floating around in my email somewhere I can pass on.
Hope that helps.
Why do you want a screen protector? the screen is scratch resistant. I watched my TMO sales rep attack it with the end of a pair of hardcore scissors and not a scratch on the demo model.

Several peeps from this site have said that they have gotten scratches on their HD2 screen. But yeah, I've seen the videos, but never tried it myself. I still use a screen protector just in case.
I think the Zagg are too thick and dont like the "orange peel" effect they give. I tried a few different brands and have nothing but great things to say about Clear Coat. Easy to install too. I take mine back once a month just to get a replacement whether it needs it or not. They replace no questions asked every time. No hassle. My favorite so far.
Clear Coat
BW UltraClear from Brando
My current phone is an Xperia, and I'm using the BW UltraClear. I've had it on my Axim and iMate Jam as well. It doesn't have a grainy look, and it works great with my stylus. I ordered one last week in preparation for the HD2, and another one for my gf's iPod Touch. The cheap screen protector is messing up her touch response.
i still have yet to find a good one...cheap ones are crap with touch responsiveness, good ones wear out quick

Skinomi TechSkin: a bit daunting to put on, uses a "wet water" solution, worked fine on the first try. Screen cover is a little thicker and more "grabby" than I expected. Touch & pinch thru the film is fine, not as good as no protector at all. Transparency is excellent.
Microthin dry-transfer film: easy to apply, to re-apply, and to replace. Much thicker than the Skinomi. Touch thru the film is fine, but pinch operations take a little getting used to.
Stock coating (no after-market cover): Great touch, no scratches in 2 weeks' everyday use. If Seidio or someone comes out with a good, soft-lining face-in holster, I'd skip the screen skin.
just recieved the vikuiti screen protector and despite all the rumours of it not fiting the tmobile u.s. version because of the 1.5mm difference...i can confirm that it fits perfectly and fingers glide smoothly across the screen on my phone...even covers under the buttons unlike many other protectors...they also come with warranty...if it doesnt stick or starts to come up they will send out a replacement for no charge...or so they say...havnt had to try it yet...cost a little over 10 dollars and arrived in 5 days from HK to US
also the capdase hard silicone case works great with our version as well...just off slightly off at the bottom by the microphone but people can still hear just fine.....very snug and not feeling loose...it keeps the contour of the phone on the back which i like and it still keeps the phone slim...totally transparent...covers the camera in the back so it can be left on a table without suffering any scratches to the chrome bezel or the camera lens...looks sweet...cost is $13.40 shipped and arrived in 5 days from hong kong
Kind of a gamble but for me it worked out perfectly and exactly what i was looking for..
I must have sticky fingers because I have a hard time sliding my finger across the glass. Kind of a pain because I love Swype. So, the question for me is which protector is the slickest?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

it doesn't cover the entire screen.
scrn protector
it covers the entire viewable screen, it does not cover part of the black area which is not important and accounts for less than 3/4 of a square inch.
i guess it's a matter if preference, i do not see this as a deal breaker, as it does what it is intended to do and its inexpensive and matte - good for me - maybe u will find one more to your tastes
I picked up the Vikuiti DQC-160 for a TMOUS HD2 and I can confirm it fits perfectly, despite being manufactured for the Euro version. From what I understand the TMOUS version is about one millimeter taller, but it must be in the bezel and not the screen.
Applying the protector was effortless, has no orange peel effect, and essentially feels like I'm touching glass. I'm very happy with it thus far.

to each his own, but i would rather be safe than sorry, plus my work is, at times a little more demanding than most jobs. and these phones are not inexpensive, nor do they give them away - if they did to heck with it lets rock and roll
The packaging is fancy, install is pretty straight forward... but all the means nothing if the screen protector doesn't cover the whole screen, nor adhere to it either. There is about 1-2 mm on both sides that is left uncovered by the screen protector, and then about 2-3mm where the screen protector does not adhere to the screen leaving an ugly effect. While the part that's not adhered to the screen is only noticeable while the screen is off, the portion uncovered is noticeable with the screen on. You can tell where the screen protector ends and portion not cover begins because of the curved edge of the protector. And there is an annoying rainbow effect when looking at the edge of the screen protector at an angle when the screen is off.
I wonder if these people actually "test" these screen protectors before they start selling them. Or they just go off the design specs available online when measuring.

I've got mine when they were promo'd on slickdeals for like 95 cents. The packaging is nice but there does seem to be a lot of complaints about halo's and whatnot, haven't put it on yet. Quess i shoulda researched before i bought
I installed the skinomi a while ago and it had halo but was sized much better than what is pictured here. I wonder how there can be so much variability in the manufacturing process.

Have you tried contacting Skinomi before creating a thread like this? It's very possible you just got a bad protector. Keep in mind glass protectors won't cover the entire front glass since it's slightly curved at the edges, but it does look like yours is a bit small. I have a Skinomi glass protector on my Note5 and it covers the entire visible display quite nicely (almost perfect to the edges of the display). No halo effect either.
They'll likely give you a free replacement.
Someone might have accidently packaged a different protector from another phone.
I would contact the manufacturer and they'll probably send you the correct one.
Ya sorry but i used the promotion on here and got one for .95 shipped and overall it adhered good and is sized much better than yours. Only at the bottom right corner where i believe my fingernail scraped away some of the adhesive lifting it back up was it not sticking.

Other than the slight "halo" mine fits just fine. It's doing its job of protecting the screen
Halo all the way around. I tossed mine. My phone is naked now but I will be going back to matte screen protectors when they arrive. Ran through too many glass protectors and all of them have halo. Not paying $30+ for a screen protector.

I ordered two of these (in case one arrived cracked/damaged) then I would not have to wait on a replacement to keep my phone protected. And if both arrived with out damage, then I would have a spare if the 1st was damaged during use. Both that I received were exact same size, and neither covered the display entirely.
I had no issues with "halo" effect in the screen protector itself. My issue was it does not cover the entire screen (the screen not the glass front.)
And I'm well aware that glass screen protector do not go from edge to edge of the front of the device; yet they should at least cover the actual display itself.

I have to say the screen protector can not be the way as you wanted if your screen has a little curve edge .
most of the affordable screen protector just sized down a little bit , it is easy to make also , will reduce the cost of the product
and it will be easy to go with case
as i know you have a supcase , why did you still use the screen protector ?

I've been using Android since 2008 on my T-mobile G1, and have bought new devices every year. I know how a screen protector should look and function.
Stopping the screen protector before it even covers the actual display is not acceptable or how they fit properly. (and incase you are not aware "display" is the part of the device that produce the imagery, the visual interactive part when you press the power button, not the bezel or "entire" front of the phone.)
You are stalking my reviews on Amazon, gonna start stalking them on Xda also?
And as far as your comment about SUPCASE; I have many cases, SUPCASE, Otterbox, Spigen, and UAG. Also several off brand cases.
I don't use the same case all the time, I like to switch it up. And having a screen protector on the device allows me to use cases that don't
have them built in (which most do not)

No idea what "[email protected]@" means, but good for you bud.
I have no interest in trying your "touch" case; as its a clone of the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle PRO Series minus the Belt Clip Holster (which I already own.)
it must have been a bad batch or perhaps an oversight. had Skinomi thou and got good results so..
Wow, it really seems like some of you guys are attacking him, and somehow blaming him for the shortcomings of this screen protector. Jeez
yeah i had the same issue with them
avoid the complete screen protector as well
even though they offer warranty for free. the screen protector sucks
Since there is no thread opened for discussion on screen protector. So I will start this off.
Feel free to add your own findings or discussions in this thread whether it's a glass screen protector, PET screen protector or those wet flexible type.
Found a few glass screen protector on the market, most being non full coverage due to the 2.5D curved edge on the xperia X performance. I don't have X performance ATM, but should have it on the 29th, so I can't actually test them out yet, but these protector should work for both the X and X performance.
Got this locally from china at a cost about USD 0.30 each, doesn't cover the full glass area due to the curved edges, but being cheap to buy, there is no reason not to try them out.

Purchased these 3 days ago, and had them delivered today, these being full coverage and at excellent quality, the cost is also very expensive, this one shown in the photo's that I purchased being the cheapest of the 4 types on offer, the full screen protector underneath has adhesive, color available is metalic glittered/gloss finished.
Normal clear version PET edge with 0.21mm thick glass available to match all 4 color variation.
Super hard clear version PET edge with 0.21mm thick glass available in gray and white only.
Private version PET edge with 0.21mm thick glass available in gray and white only.
Mirror/non reflective version (not 100% sure) PET edge with 0.21mm thick glass available in gray and white only
price starts from approximate USD 27.50- USD 38 for different versions.
Seen these available in china, 100% glass, just like the ones for samsung S7 or the LG G5, only has double side adhesive on the edge, the active part has no adhesive, cost approximate USD 5- USD 15, the prices will slowly drop with time.
Another one is PET and Glass, all clear, from china, cost approximate USD 10
One's from china can be purchased from www.taobao.cn or www.aliexpress.com
The other one can be purchased from www.amazon.co.jp or www.yahoo.co.jp
No direct link will be given, so you have to search those sites for them, and yes you can purchase them, but not directly if you don't live in those countries, but there are ways to purchase them and will incure additional cost.
Just gimme a link!

I bought a black one too, a few days ago when there was no comment on amazon.co.jp.
*The full screen cover (with pet) one
When i look at it again today, it has only 1 star.
The comments are focused on it blocks the screen edge, oh well, we shall see orz.
From what i tried, most tempered glass are doomed, at least the ones i bought aren't even fitting the curve. (not to mention the size is totally off as well)
I am thinking to use paste now, dealing with glass is a damn...
or get a scr56?

The quality looks good, and unlike the Chinese one, adhesive is covers 95% of the back including the glass screen, just the edge about 1.5mm of the edge has no adhesive.
Probably the best one you can get at present with full coverage.
Updated the first post with the protector on my phone, it's not stuck down yet, as I still have 14 return period.
I like to point out for those who intend to a glass screen protector on the X or XP, it will affect the touch screen, I know this as I experienced this personally.
I have enabled the double tap wake and sleep, although double tap isn't affected, double tap to wake does not work well with a glass protector.
I'd like to point out XXP is prone to be scratched.
My XXP has one line of scratch after 15 days usage.
Does anyone know what is the screen glass brand this time?
Seems far fragile than Corning Gorilla glass.
I finally put the screen protector on, it fits on well and looks good, but those who has the intention to get one, do note you will still get bubbles along the sides, although it does has the bubbles, I don't regret having it, the bubbles don't show up well.

Yes I totally agree with you, I've always used the double tap to wake feature and after applying my tempered glass protector it sometimes takes around 4-6 taps lol, but at times it can pick up 2 taps. I received my replacement Terrapin Hardcase the other day and it's a great fitting case I think, aswell as the gel one.

If you use a glass screen protector at 0.21mm, it should be alright, the one i'm using is 0.21mm and work alright.
I think if you use glove mode it works much better, but I also think it uses more power and battery.

I would like to see how much does the Deff one covered. (left/right edge of the screen)
After 1 week ,my protector arrives, and i totally forget its G-Color. (the only(?) one with full frame on amazon.com)
upside is,
The sides are really thin, so it doesn't cover the screen part.
And it fits pretty well for the whole (front) surface.
downside is,
Made in china, so the quality of the glass is kinda low.
It does get fingerprint extremely easy, i never had any other protector/glass one can do this.
Also, i doubt its "hardness", after 3 days of use, there are some cracks from the microphone slot already.
There is another one called RASTA BANANA/ラスタバナナ, currently it has highest comment and price in amazon jp.
rbdirect.jp/rb <-offical shop site, according to this site, scr56 is made by them.
I couldn't find any retailer sells this and ships to US, so either get Deff one or wait for SCR56 for me orz.

The color part of the protector covers about 0.5mm past the screen, and the adhesive covers the whole of the protector, the G color is only on the top/bottom and bezel, just like the g color the deff is also made in china, but with japanese material, for your information, no glass protector supports the hardness of 9H this is BS, the whole screen protector is really thin.
I can say this is probably the only screen protector i've used that reduces not finger print, altough they all do attrach fingerprint, but it's very minimum compare to others.
I also will have a RASTA BANANA/ラスタバナナ soon, it's even much more expensive, I have a friend to buy this from one of those larger chain stores in japan during their visit on the 19th of July, just use a agent if you want to buy them, they can send worldwide.
I will have a SBC 30 soon, us that preordered the XP before the 16th June, all get extra 12 months warranty, Sony Mobile umbrella (very good quality), SBC 30 case to match the phone in same color, HKD100 supermarket coupon, a Momax well known branded, quality bluetooth wireless speaker and a 32GB memory card.
The price of my DEFF is 2800yen, but the RASTA BANANA/ラスタバナナ is like 4300yen these price is just the protector itself.
I just order yesterday a Skinomi full screen coverage and body for Xperia X on Amazon US. It on the way now. Hope it will be good because I have to pay 25$ after tax for glass screen protect.
I got the G Color one and it fits very well, no bubbles. I wish it was clear though, so I also ordered the Deff which arrives next week to see if I like the look better. Both available on Amazon in US.

I like the Deff more than the G Color because it actually adheres to the screen making touch more accurate. It also looks better because they matched the graphite color exactly. My G Color cracked at the edges after one week, not very durable. Hoping the Deff lasts longer.

Dont have that. I found on previous phones that the tempered glass options are usually to thick for me. I have a screen protector on but its a thin one and does the job for me.

i'm still thinking of it. my biggest concern is if it will fit with a case
https://www.honorbuy.com/1065-redmi...otection-tempered-glass-screen-protector.html i have this one (looks like the one you wanna buy). so far so good, it covers the whole screen. the black area has some sort of adhesive that takes care of the 2.5D area near the edges. touch works great on the buttons bar too (doesn't feel as well as the original screen but good enough) the screen colors/contrast are a bit worse, but you can adjust for that from settings.
it's not gonna be as good as without the protector, none of them are gonna works as well as the original screen, but if you don't like it, can't adjust to it you can always take it off.
edit: aaand 10 days later the protector cracked/broke on the buttons cover part. had to take it down.
markw is a cheap phone, and with ugly white upper and down sides, i think it is better use it without any glass.

if you can see the tempered glass got border around it. Actually perfectly match with Redmi 4 prime screen 5" but it would look kinda weird and made me feel unsatisfied due it covered original phone border. I wanna share a picture but i don't know how, and I a new user. Or you can search on youtube for more detail.

Same problem with http://www.gearbest.com/screen-protectors/pp_591930.html - the border of the tempered glass is covering like 0.5mm of each side of the screen. I made me crazy , I had to tear it off.
just got this one and find it looks better due to lack of visible gaps around edges due to 2.5d screen. Found previously screen protectors cracked easily for the same reason, found this causes the capacitive buttons at the bottom of the screen to be less responsive which is a bit annoying, will report back when had it on longer than a weekend.
I originally ordered a screen protector for mine from Ebay since I got the phone pre-launch. That screen protector was excellent, it had no borders and just worked a treat. It was completely clear and the only issue I had was on the edges. It didnt make full contact. Over time it eventually got a small crack and that was the end of the it. It lasted approx 4-6 months though.
My wife on the other hand got that one you linked (with the borders) from Gearbest and it was so bad I just asked for a refund. The border was actually smaller than the screen and it was just really bad. Do not get one with a border. Dont do it!

Just ordered two, as the borderless I ordered the last time broke when I tried to remove the protective film
I'm a little late but to add my experience to that.
I had such a black color frame.
+ it looks nice
+ perfectly fits
I was not satisfied
--- the adhesive is only on the periphery under the color
--- when you knock, it floats, because the transparent part is in the air
--- Some models do not see bottom-buttons at all
Total failure.
hello.please someone suggest me a good t.glass that is antioil and fingerprints free.I tryied asling t.glass but phone gets so dirty from fingers that in daylight is almost impossible to see the screen!also it has to be 1-2mm smaller to fit perfect..thanks!
I don't see any t-glass that'll fit, I only use TPU films. They r a bit flexible and often labeled as anti-break, nano explosion...etc. They can cover almost the edge (mybe only 1-2mm from the end side of the screen, abt the inner bezel of the side screen)
thanks dude. can u suggest me one from ebay please?

Try searching for "nano film" or "anti-explosion" and TPU films for Redmi 4 Prime. Nano liquid will work too but only protects from scratches, doesn't protect from LCD breakage. It's abt US $5+ in my local market and they mostly will specify its full coverage, which is NOT possible for ANY tempered glass

thanks dude,but unfortunately there isn't something similar to our model..
Righteo, our phones will be arriving in a week, which screen protectors should we be buying? Thoughts?
I'm tempted by a tempered glass (pun not intended, but I chuckled), but haven't had one before. They seem like they can be pretty thin these days and keep the nice feeling of glass instead of plastic. My Z3C came with protectors for front and back in the box, but looking at the "whats included" things, I can't see any mention of that for the XZ1c.
I guess the requirements are: can't be crap; gotta be reasonably easy to apply bubble free; nice to touch; not going to peel or flake after a few months; not a finger-print magnet; doesn't interfere with the touchscreen function; doesn't alter the colours.
Get your suggestions in! Mobilefun have a couple available to preorder, but I've got no reason to think these are any better than ones on Amazon etc.
Just got my XZ1 Compact from Sony HK. They gave me a third party "nano protector" which is crap; covers the screen but not the wall glass area, the texture is nice but it's a dust magnet. Looking for a full screen tempered glass protector now..

Definitely go tempered glass, just dropped my nexus 5x today (a week before upgrade to XZ1 compact) and the screen protector cracked but the screen is fine. I also know a guy at work who has dropped his iphone at least 6 times and broken the screen protector only.
Im tempted to get the sony Xperia™ XZ1 Compact Style Cover Stand SCSG60 for a bit more protection but not sure how ill get on with a cover case like that.
Screen protector wise i've only seen these in the UK
Not sure whats curved about it but its official ish by the looks of it. Not sure i like the black boxes though.

Not heard of Olixar but this one has clear glass all over.

I found a cheap tempered glass protector, the only one I could find after couple of hours checking shops in Hong Kong.
It went to the trash bin after a day...
It covered the screen area only and its edges wouldn't stick to the phone glass...
Yes, I just found out that the XZ1 glass is 2.5D so it is slightly curved, very very slightly but still.
I guess it will be hard to find a full screen one then. The best option I've found on Internet is a curved plastic protector, similar to what I had on my S7 edge; it should cover nicely the whole area without bubbles or the issues all the curved tempered glass had, but this kind of material is fingerprint, smudges and grease magnet...

Purchased the full glass screen protector mentioned here as well as the Roxfit book case. Will let you guys know how it goes when I receive them.
Looks like the tempered glass ones don't reach to the edges due to curving of the screen. Might be a bit tricky to find one that covers the entire front properly, and even then, I guess glass is out of the question.
Gonna try one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0755DYRYQ

This is the Roxfit one, they do the cases under the 'made for xperia' partnership so id hope the glass would be good too (even if not made for xperia)
https://www.roxfit.mobi/products/sony-xperia-xz1-compact-full-cover-tempered-glass
Roxfit one looks the same, I think these ones with the coloured surrounds might be edge-to-edge. If you look at the clear options on Amazon a number of them mention they'll only cover the screen and not go to the edge due to curves. There are a couple of reviews on the XZ1 protectors that mention they don't go to the edge.
Should get mine tomorrow and just received notification of dispatch of my phone too, so hopefully they'll all rock up some time tomorrow.
I bought this screen protector and I'm a little disapointed. Although it was easy to put on and has a good finish. It doesn't wrap round the edges of the curved display and thb, I can't imagine there are any protectors that will.
Part of a screen protectors design is to be hard and ridgid to resist scratches, now get that hard material to wrap round a 90 degree corner.
I'll be interested in feedback of the other protectors listed here.

Easy to put on, I did it straight away, so I pulled off the shipping cover and slapped this one down in one movement. No dust, no bubbles.
The black frame is a little weird, the most noticeable bit is the cut out for the Sony logo. But be warned with these glass frames - you cannot use the official DK60 dock! It is just slightly too big to slot in to the correct sized bracket. I've had to use a bigger bracket and shove a bit of card down the back.
Anyone have a suggestion of a normal nonglass screen protector? I just love the one that originally came with my z3c - it's oleophobic so I honestly never see any fingerprint smudges on the screen.

So is it ok in use with the phone? Id rather have full coverage but ive seen some not full coverage ones that are completely clear and so wont look as odd with the black sections.
Alas, the only camera I have on me at the moment is my phone. But it doesn't look too bad, I can't see a clear one looking any better in reality as the thickness is the most distracting thing. A film one will get a snugger fit, but the clarity and feel isn't anywhere as nice as glass.
This one from Protectionfilms24.com is more up my street, old school film with cutouts only where they need to be but need to get more info on just how much "smaller than the display" it actually is.
(all screen protectors listed in this thread don't ship to my country and I'm not a big fan of colored frame either)
Last try until I give up and just use my phone without a screen protector.
Installed an " Imak Hydrogel " protector (installation requires water)... Good thing is it came with 2 pieces.
I have lot of experience with regular plastic ones and tempered glass but this is my first protector requiring water..
I've installed the first one and I had an horrible texture, when I decided to remove it I also tried to reposition it just to see if it could be better. Indeed it was but it was also already ruined by my fingerprints underneath. (it doesn't adhere to transparent tape, hard to find a way to peel it off or just reposition it)
I've then installed the spare one and is definitely better this time. Not perfect but definitely usable. I have to see how scratch prone it is and if it doesn't retain oil or fingerprints too much.
Oh yes and it is covering the whole glass edge to edge..

I went with the Omaton (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0755DYRYQ) as previously listed. Really not a fan of the black frame bits i just dont see the need and it stops one product being used by all coloured models which seems a bit unsound in a business sense too.
Still the application and packaging and all the stickers screen wipes and so on made the process really easy and i got a dust and bubble free application and pleased with the end result and i can live with the oddly boxed Sony logo.
Omaton with the black frame fitted:

You can see it goes past the edge of the screen, but doesn't quite meet the edge of the phone (due to curving). So unless somebody makes a shaped front piece, I think this probably going to be as good as it gets for glass.
