Hello,
I have 1 small scratch on the right upper edge of my screen, and a few light scratches on the screen of the phone. Recently I purchased the SGP Invincible Shield. I understand it comes with a screen protector. If I put the protector on now, will it stick? Will it magnify the scratches?
Is there something I can/should do?
Thank you all in advance!
Anyone? .
No idea you can only try and accessories section may have more information .

Yes Google:how to repair scratches on mobile screen
Take you pick.
Interesting stuff. Have you ever tried toothpaste or baking soda?
No, but I have used Displex with a cotton bub on my Ipod, but takes ages and work fantastic: http://www.amazon.com/Displex-Displ...7WY0AW/ref=pd_sbs_watch_4/182-3745285-7781023

The xperia s has the shatterproof sheet pre-applied. This seems to somewhat receptive to scratches.
What exactly is the purpose of this sheet? Is it to strengthen the screen, so it won't break so easily if you drop the phone. Or is it just to hold the glass together when it breaks?
If I want to apply a screen protector like a martin fields or brando ultra clear, should I apply if over the shatterproof sheet, or should I remove the shatterproof sheet?

It's there to help protect your display from from getting scratched, damaged etc. If you're thinking of getting your own screen protector, i would certainly remove the shatterproof sheet before putting on your new one. If you dont, the screen MAY end up less responsive.
I am in the exact same boat. I got my phone last night, been playing with it at work and literally 5 minutes ago I noticed that it already has a sheet on the screen?
But last night after picking up the phone I immediately bought a screen protector on eBay.
Should I keep the sheet on the phone now until its worn and scratched and then replace with the ones I have got on eBay?

Yeah I would just keep the original on, and when it's worn out, put a new one on.
I think I'm gonna do that as well. Just keep it the way it is, until it starts to annoy me. Then I'll take it off and stick a new one on there.
I wouldn't recommend taking it off. I did it on my Play and once the screen gets greasy, some random touches start appearing by just blowing at the screen, so you often have to clean it.
I'm getting an XPs soon ...by for now I have my old desire ... never fitted a screen protector etc...
How many scratches have I got?? None...
Do I have to clean the screen ?.. Yes...
The XPs has strong glass ( gorillia glass MK2 ) sure your get smudges etc, but that adds to the charm !
As long as you have a good lint free cloth you should be fine !!

The Xperia S doesn't have gorilla glass, it has glass scratch resistance
Has anyone actually removed the pre applied screen protector? Does it change the feel of the screen?
I am not happy with my new Xperia S or Sony's attitude. I only had the phone a week and the screen has many fine scratches. I am extremely careful with my phones - my original Desire's screen is unmatied. With the Sony statement forth Xperia being scratch resistant I felt I was on safe ground - after all I'd come back to Sony to rediscover the quality I yearned and always had on previous Sony phones since my Z1 back in '96.
I've treated my Xperia the same as those before it - the most extreme condition being loose in my inner suit pocket with my work BlackBerry. And this is exactly what has covered it in scratches - the pitch of the scratches matching that of the cheap plastic keys on the BlackBerry.
And to insult me properly I get the below response from Sony, as if they are sniggering from around the corner.
"Thank you for contacting the Sony Xperia support centre.
We can confirm the handset is scratch resistant, however not scratch proof, it is still possible to scratch the screen of the handset, we apologize for any confusion caused by this."
I though this was Sony trying to get back on a level with the top guys... With gorilla glass everywhere else many (me included) assumed Sony's claim of scratch resistant meant some proprietary equivalent.
One Sony Xperia S for sale. ....... Only loads of minor scratches...
You aren't aware that your Xperia S came screen protector preinstalled? Glass underneath is scratch proof mineral glass.
Mate i believe you scratched the protective screen protector, as it is really easy to get scratched, even with a fingernail you will be able to scratch the screen protector ( minimal scratch ofc )
Remove the screen protector and your scratches will be gone
watch from minute 2:40:
is it really the screen or the screen protector?
The preinstalled plastic is not a screen protector, but for keeping the glass together if the screen cracks so the glass is not going everywhere in the air.
I would say as the ppl above, this is scratched, not the screen
Dont worry. U can take it off and use the actually screen protector that came in the box!

The screen gets scratched very hard!
I think that most of people out there didn't notice the screen protector, which is easily get scratched btw!
Using mine for a week with the factory protector installed. Not a single mark on it!

Believe it or not.
2 weeks ago i was getting the screenprotection off..
It just wont go off.. No it just wont..
Damn that thing was stuck on the screen..
Got a screwdriver in to it.. Putting it in with power etc..
I thought by my self.. Screen is now f8cked..
Finally i got it out.. Cleaned with a glass cleaner...
Nothing?
Still no scratches.
I've had mine about 5 weeks and the pre-installed shatterproof sheet is showing a few scratches. Just ordered a screen protector from PDair.

Thanks all for the info. I'd seen talk of removing the protector, but had assumed this was the additional plastic sheet that was in the box and that maybe in some places this is already stuck on.
It is very odd that when I contacted Sony they did not point this out or suggest replacing it.
I assume if I search around the forum will I find plenty of good advice on replacement screen protectors? ie one that don't scratch when you sneeze on them!
Any advices on removing preinstalled screen protector? It'll drive me mad!
EDIT: Did it!! A Very sharp knife and a fair share of pressure did the trick!

Try a brando ultra clear or martin fields screenprotector. Both are high quality and much better scratch resistant. Both brands have protectors for the xps that can be ordered online.

If you dont want to see any scratch in your screen, I'd recommend you to search for a 'Matte' screen protector, which I've chosen to be from Steinheil for my past phones: They -are- the best ones offered. A bit expensive though...
They seem a bit blurrier than the crystal clear ones, but I guarantee the 'soft touch feeling', no more oily screens and no scratches makes up to that.
Specially because we have a bright screen with sharp colours so there'll be no problem I guess.
Wait, so there's actually a screen protector on the phone from the factory?
Can I remove it? Any benefits to removing it?
I can barely see it on the glass, almost missed this.

Yes there is.
Look closely to the corner of the screen.
Yes you can take it out.

Even gorilla glass can be scratched with keys or against another hard object like another phone, every phone to date is susceptible even your Desire which doesn't come any protection against ware and tare.
It's toughened glass not steel, Sony is exactly right with the screen being scratch resistant, not scratch proof just like any other mobile maker will tell you and just like all other mobiles/tablets currently in circulation.
Seriously don't put your brand new mobile in with your keys, coins, junk etc, wait a few months at least like I do lol.
Completely agree with ErichSan, I hate the oily/smudgey feeling screen protectors also.

He's peeling of the plastic that is there to keep the glass together if it breaks. The preinstalled plastic filter does NOT protect against scratches (it may work a little bit against scratches). If u really want one who protects, the phone came with a screen protector in the box.

Well according to Sony it's a bit different as you suggest here, I asked the
question directly on the Sony forum see the reply I got:

Hi guys.
I have this phone since 2 weeks and today I realize that I have a tiny scratch long about a nail over in the bottom-right of the screen.
Is that possible? I can feel with my nail that is a scratch, really really thin and with screen on its invisible but under a light it's visible.
I really disappointed because I'm taking care of it like a baby. Gorilla glass 4 isn't so strong at least, and now do I need a screen protector? Really?
Anyone have problem like this?
Gggrrrrrrr
Hi,
Gorilla Glass 4 does not mean the display can't get any scratches. And yes, if you're unlucky you get a scratch the first day of use. All it needs is a little sand and/or stone in your pocked (just an example) and it can happen. I don't care what the manufacturer of the phone promises or uses as display glass. I have always a good display protection foil or tampered glass on my phones.
Nothing new. I have some micro scratches too. The best thing which you can do is buying a glass protector.

i had exactly the same issues.
at right up corner i get multiple scratch. rest of the phone is ok. i guess GG4 on LGv10 had some issue. what i did was trying to remove coating cover and re-apply a new one called crystalusion. it didnt repair 100% but situation get improved. to remove the Oleophobic coating you need something like car scratch remover.
see ya
I bought some screen protectors off eBay and they leave about 2mm of space on both sides of the display.
I'm fine with the screen protector not covering the entire front panel but it should at least cover up the display. Whoever designed this film must be out of their mind.
Anyone know of an eBay seller that has a screen protector that actually covers the entire display?
EDIT: I know there are threads about this but they're all about the glass protectors. I'm looking for the film protectors.

Its seems to be the one thing thats hardest to get, I thought the S7 Edge would be the one that would be difficult to get screen protection for given the nature of the screen. I dont know whether its the 2.5D glass on the S7, but any review for screen protectors seem to be bad as there are gaps down the sides. I usually get a glass protector straight away but holding off for now until I decide whether I'm going to bother or not. I had considered one of the film covers but might just go for one of the full screen glass ones like the one below, although I really dont want to take away from the looks of the device.

I bought a tempered glass screen protector off eBay that covers the entire edge but leaving a tiny bit of room for a case to go on without lifting the protector. But the downside is you can see the dot matrix in the sun which isn't a major problem for me. I would rather see a good protector that i paid $10 that had dot matrix then see scratches form over time.

Is it the digitizer that you can see when looking at it with bright sunlight?
No. Since the whole protector isn't sticky like the plastic ones usually are. Only the touch screen part of the protector have these little dots that you will see in bright lighting which is to make touch feel normal. Can be quite annoying sometimes but i get over it. Worth the protection to me

Like in the picture in the post below? As you say its weighing up how much it annoys you vs how much you want to protect your screen.

Yeah thats a pretty good example of "The Dot Matrix Effect" but luckily for me the protector i have isn't anywhere near as bad as that. And definitely not as noticeable. It only annoys me the tiniest amount. But i rarely see it or notice it that much sometimes.

i can recommend that screen protector, it cover the whole screen if you have a case protector too.
you can see it here:

Been using a Clear-Coat film screen protector since I got my S7 in March. It's a good product, holds up well and works perfect with my Otterbox Commuter Case. Lifetime warranty. It's not tempered glass.

Does it affect touch sensitivity? Is it slippery the same as the screen? Would be nice to have more in-depth review.

Thanks.
As far as I could inform, there is only scratch resistant glass on the screen, no website mention to have some kind of Gorilla Glass.
What kind of protection are you using? Full screen glass (as they say, 3D) with coloured sides, flat glass or film?
I tried three kinds of film (even from Nillkin) but neither of them glued completely on the sides and the smears from fingers were terrible.
