The Xperia S comes with a pre-applied shatter resistant screen protector.
Now the thing is I got a scratch on mine. Which kinda sucks. How easy is it to remove it and then replace it with a new exact same one?
I bought a pair of screen protectors. But they don't fit all around the screen like the shatter-resistant protector.
They cut out around the sensors, camera and speaker.
So. Any tips and tricks?

That's because you're supposed to cover the anti-shatter sheet (which is not a screen protector just anti-shatter) with a screen protector that you can easily replace.
I just posted a thread in this same forum section about official Sony ones I got from Japan. But remember they are not the same as your anti-shatter sheet, you're supposed to put them on top of the anti-shatter sheet.
In terms of what they cover, they are the closest to the anti-shatter sheet as they cover all the sensors, the Sony ones just don't cover the camera and the earpiece.
If you order the Sony potector, you have two choices. You can either put it on top of the anti-shatter sheetand hope you wont be able to see the scratch anymore through this one or you can remove the anti-shatter sheet and place this one down alone. Its up to you.
I've already removed the sheet. It's now completely free of protection as I screwed up putting on the screen protector.
It's more sensitive dust and fingermarks now, but overall I'm happy. Will be placing a screen protector on it soon again when I get around to it.
Took mine off today. I seriously, repeat, seriously doubt that sheet can do ANYTHING. It peels off like regular screen protector, does not glue to the glass at all. Once you have a corner up it lasts less than a second to peel it off.
For some of you repeating what SONY want you to believe, carry on.

That's what I say. The screen is much better without it.
Should i remove the screen protector
I have Scractched My Sony Xperia S , and it kinds of irritates when there is more White ,, I heard and read that the factory applied screen Protector can be removed, the Question is , is it a screen Protector or a shatter Protector..
In the case i do remove it how do i clean the glass if there is any residue gum and will it affect the screen in any way... Should i Put on a New screen Protector Once i Remove the original Factory fitted one.

does Xperia U have the same screen shatter protector? mine is scratched in the second day, now I applied a screen protector over it
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
Yes it is a shatter protector thick layer, I damaged mine too (Xperia P), I removed it and then applied a good quality screen protector, no residue no marks are left when the shatter protection is removed, hope this helps.

I had no idea the provided protectors had to go on top of the already applied one. Is it written in the manual/instructions?
Anyway, what is a good screen protector that can replace the shatter one to a good enough standard? I have scratches on mine, a rather large scuff over the front camera, making it unusable. So I suppose I could remove it and replace it with a protector?
Any recommendations?
It doesn't prevent shatter, i know that for a fact!

Thats probably why it's not called a shatter preventor protector

How easily can the screen without the preapplied protector be scratched? Just from carrying in a jeans pocket?
Should I apply a screenprotector if I remove the original one?

The screen of the Xperia S is pretty scratch proof. Like really proof. The shatter-resistant protector on the other hand gets scratched in no time.

Yeah if I put my face up to the screen during direct sunlight I can just make out tiny scratches. Some of them are not permanent and some clearly are. The screen has been very good vs heavy scratches, but still gets light scratches like every other phone screen I have had. If you were to put a screen protector on you wouldnt even notice the scratches. Light scratches will always happen and it doesnt really bother me unless I can see them.
Edit: I did receive a free Spigen screen protector so I will try it out and see if I like it or not just for the hell of it. Generally though I prefer the naked screen and even my old hero with gorilla glass 1 came through just fine except for the minute almost imperceptible scraches.
Folks, Gorilla Glass is a marketing ploy. It doesn't offer any real scratch resistance over normal glass, but the compound it's made of makes it less likely to shatter (two different things). When it comes to scratch resistance, you're looking at the Mohs scale.
Mohs scale of mineral hardness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You may be more familiar with this than you think. Diamond is a 10, the hardest substance known to man. Diamond can only be scratched by another diamond or a laser.
Glass has a rating of 6-7, depending on the hardness of the glass. Plastic is a 3-4.
If you take your keys over a glass screen (or a glass window), touch it to the surface, and rub with a little pressure (just enough to gain a degree of resistance), you WILL NOT scratch the glass. I've even scared the crap out of someone by hacking at my Zune HD's screen with a carbon-steel steak knife, and not a scratch.
So what will cause you to scratch your glass screen? Two things;
-a softer material (like metal) and force, not resistance. Yes, if you slam something into the screen, it may very well get a small crack, small enough that we see it as a scratch. Because, while glass is very scratch resistant, it easily shatters. It's force that gives us those small "scratches."
-dirt/sand - Sand (quartz sand, specifically) is an active ingredient in glass. If you get small particles of sand or other types of dirt on the screen and then wipe it off with your shirt (or even a microfiber cloth), you can develop small scratches in your screen. The most annoying is those who wipe with a circular motion, as it leaves rings in the screen. Want to avoid this? Take a SMALL amount of Endust for Electronics and a paper towel and gently wipe off the screen. The liquid will act as a buffer between the screen and the dirt. Then, take a microfiber cloth (those little eyeglass cleaning cloths that come with screen protectors) and wipe off the residue left by the Endust and any pieces of the paper towel.
When you use a quality screen protector (SGP, Clarivu, Martin Fields), you're putting a plastic overlay over the phone. While this will scratch more easily than the glass screen, if applied correctly, it acts as a shock absorber, thus making it harder for the screen to shatter. It protects from scratches by taking the scratches itself, and it protects from shattering by absorbing the force of the blow.
The wet applications like the Invisible Shield are so thin that they don't noticeably increase shatter resistance. They'll just keep the screen together when shattered. The Invisible Shield is harder to scratch though, making it so that you don't have to replace it as often (it looks nicer longer than a normal plastic screen protector). Basically, it protects from scratches by deflecting them, but doesn't offer any real shock absorption.
Gorilla glass claims a hardness of 9 on Mohs scale which is utter bs. It realistically has a hardness of about 7-7.5 max. Normal glass can range from 6-7.2 depending on the type. Diamond is 10 and Sapphire is 9 which is what the make high end watch faces out of but is damn expensive. If Gorilla Glass was a 9 then they would use it for the watch faces since it is much much cheaper. I have a Citizen watch that has sapphire and the face is scratched as **** because I have had it for 12 years.
Remember as long as the scratches are the insanely small type caused by sand grains and such, you can easily get some special polish and buff those right out. The one nice thing about our screens not having oleophobic coating is you dont have to worry about damaging the coating when you polish it.
The best way for a manufacturer to reduce scratches is to put a chin on the phone like the Hero had. This way the phone screen never touches the ground.
When I got the phone I thought that the phone had one screen protector installed and that the other one in the packge was spare. How wrong I was. Now the shatter-resistant protector is full of small scrathes, even tough I haven't had keys or anything else on the same pocket. I've had the phone for about three months now.
I ordered Martin Shields few days ago, and I'm going to replave the shatter-resistant protector with that.
I had Wrapsol on my Galaxy Note and was pretty satisfied with it, but unfortunately they don't make one for P. My wife has Zagg on her Galaxy S, but it's bit too stick for my taste.
I put a screen protector on today to test it with one and it was on for all of 30 seconds before I tore it off. I just cant stand the things. Perfect thing for me would be a fold over case but as I use my left hand for the phone, they all fold the wrong way.
The phone was completely unusable for me after removing the shatter protection. The glass itself is a sticky mess, even after wiping of the goo left from the shatter protection, fingerprints and dust stick like crazy and is a real chore to clean.
I bought a Steinhall crystal clear film and the phone is now smooooooth as butter. I absolutely love it.

Zerolemon 9H Ultra Glass Armor: Tempered Glass Screen Protector
Unboxing:
I received a review unit from Zerolemon. The screen protector was sent in a bubble wrapped package. The packaging on the screen protector itself is thin poster board with plastic cut outs for the various pieces. It came with the screen protector itself, a small micro-fiber cloth and an alcohol wipe.
Installation:
Zerolemon has installation instructions printed on the poster board packaging. I didn’t need them, but for though who do, the instructions don’t make sense at all. Luckily the pictures convey much more than the written instructions do.
I applied the screen protector in my bath-room after I had the hot water running in the shower for about 10 minutes to minimize any dust particles that were in the air. I tried using the micro-fiber cloth to clean the screen of any residual oil and particles. It did a good job getting rid of oily residue, but is horrible at picking up dust, which might be due to the cloth being tiny (2”x2”). Then I used the alcohol wipe to wipe down the screen one more time. That did the trick. It removed the rest of the particles.
After taking a plastic film off the screen protector I placed it on my phone. The great thing about it is that you can move it slightly to get it to fit perfectly then tap the middle of the screen and the screen protector will adhere to the screen like magic! I didn’t have any issues with bubbles.
Initial Impressions:
The screen protector is much thicker than a plastic one. It somewhat hides the home button because the screen protector is thicker than the protruding button. Not really an issue with me because I actually prefer that so I don’t accidentally press the home button when the phone is in my pocket, but it might bother others. Powering on my device and testing the responsiveness of the screen, the first thing I noticed how nice it felt to touch. Feels just like the glass on the phone. With the rounded edges I wasn't able to feel where the screen protector started and ended from edge to edge of the phone.
The screen’s responsiveness was noticeably diminished. All gestures and taps had to be deliberate for the phone to register the touch. I use the S-Pen quite often to create illustrations on the device. For regular navigation using the S-Pen it operated like normal, but I noticed that I had to push harder while doodling on the screen or using the hand writing recognition. Due to the diminished responsiveness I did have to go into “Settings>Controls>Auto-adjust touch sensitivity” and enable that option so that the screen would return to normal.
Viewing angles are comparable to naked screen.
I will update again in about 2 weeks after I’ve had more time to put it through the torture test of life.
Any info on how thick it is, it looks exactly like the same as the MIME Feather Glass. I use the s-pen with the MIME and I didn't have to turn up the sensitivity but it's only .15mm thick.

It's 0.3mm according to their website.
I hope to be receiving mine soon and will comment on the touch screen responsiveness as well. I currently use a 0.4mm thick glass screen protector (it started to bubble randomly, so I needed a new one anyways), and haven't noticed any reduction in responsiveness, so hopefully my experience will be able to provide a different experience than the OP (especially as I'm going from glass to glass, while it appears as though OP went from plastic to glass, which in my opinion is an incomparable difference).
I just received my review unit as well. It's very thin and barely noticeable. I'm using it with my ZeroLemon Extended Battery and it fits perfectly under the case. I haven't had screen responsiveness issues as mentioned in the OP.
I'll post pics up a little later.

The screen protector wasn't built in on my case.
If yours has one built in, then you should probably remove it.

I got my review unit today and its pretty good. Mouahmong's review is almost spot on. If you know how to apply a screen protector you are good to go. However, if you have never done it before, watch a Youtube video because the instructions shown on the inside of the package are terribly written.
My advice on applying (especially if your house/apartment or wherever you live is dusty) do it after a hot shower. Doing so will let the dust settle.
The screen protector does have somewhat rounded edges so it's not sharp unlike some other cheaper tempered glass screen protectors. However, with a 0.3mm thickness, you won't even be able tell.
I didnt have much of an issue with the home button after applying the screen protector. Some other brands will provide a stick on item to put on top of the home button so its easier to press, but with this screen protector being pretty thin (0.3mm) you wont need it IMO.
Other than that, so far so good. If I find any cons, I'll update this review.

Here are some pics with the Tempered Glass Screen Protector paired with the ZeroLemon Extended Battery/Rugged Case. This thing is very thin. The previous glass screen protector I had installed was too thick and caused the top corners to lift up. No problem here. Fits like a glove.
Installed the zerolemon screen protector a few days ago and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT with my 10,000 mah battery and rugged case! I never liked screen protectors because I thought they took away the OEM glass feel and clarity. I now admit my past reservations were completely wrong and I will never have my phone screens go naked again! The zerolemon glass screen protector fits like a glove with the 10,000 mah battery and rugged case and I would strongly recommend the protector to everyone who owns the rugged case to give this a shot. Last thing, the cost of this is better than most of the other name brand protectors out there.

Haven't tried it in sunlight but it should glare just as much as the regular glass.
This isn't a anti glare screen protector.
So far it does well in direct sunlight. Minimal glare. Similar to stock naked.

It is the same as the OEM glass screen, no better and no worse. I think the glass protector feels smoother than the OEM screen. Maybe it's because the oleophobic coating was starting to wear off but I swear the new screen protector feels buttery smooth when I swipe my finger or use the s pen.

So your saying to install it after a hot shower as in install the unit on your phone in the bathroom? Ive heard of the method before but didn't quite understand.

People recommend installing in the bathroom because steam from the hot water will prevent dust particles from floating in the air.

I love it so far. The packaging is nothing fancy but the product is top notch. I previously had the Nillkin tempered glass and this one is identical to it which is a good thing. All the cutouts are perfect. It feels just like the naked screen. The price is very much reasonable unlike those other brands selling them for $20+ and the quality is the same.

I just received my review unit and will update this thread with my review in a few days. I did notice though after installing the screen protector there is a "bubble" in the top portion of the screen right overtop the notification panel and directly under the Samsung logo. I thought maybe I installed it wrong or slightly sideways so I very gently pulled it back up making sure I didn't touch the sticky backing and realigned the glass with the home button and pressed it back down firmly. The "bubble" is still present but a tad smaller then it was originally. I kept rubbing the screen hoping to eliminate the bubble like other brand plastic type screen protectors and no dice. I will give it a few days and hopefully it will work itself out. I hope I didn't somehow get a "defective" glass that wasn't completely flat which is causing this bubble. See attached pic showing the "bubble" and the packaging stating it has "Bubble Free Installation". [emoji53]

Hi Guys,
Any one has idea about where can I buy Front AND Back Tempered Glass Protector
I am egarly waiting for it.
Thanks & Regards.:good:
i bought it from an accessories store in my country. you can buy one from amazon, ebay, etc
if it's not high quality i don't recommend it as it will cause some weird feedback from the touch panel because of the dirt, fingerprints, fluids .. etc "result from my experience with my current bad screen protector"
so i do recommend getting a high quality Tempered glass screen protector with oleophobic coating
You don't need for back only buy for front side
You can get them for like 8 to 10$
Or on aliexpress.com for 2 to 5 $

Has anyone experience with broken tempered glass instead of the screen? I broke my screen 2 weeks after i got my z2. (It fell from about 30cm to a carpet xD) Touch didn't work anymore, cause of a little crack.

I had tempered glass on both back and front cause I never use any cases. I dropped my phone from about 9 Feet (From the first floor), the top right edge hit the ground and the then the it spun and landed face down. To my surprise only the tempered glass broke, So glad I invested in one.
The only damage is that the top right corner is scratched like crazy and because of the sheer force of impact the metal frame has deformed a little near the micro SD card.
Is there any such thing as a tempered screen with oleophobic coating and also covering the camera? My camera's outer glass is so damaged (there are bubbly deformations on it) that it can not focus properly sometimes.
Google Rhinoshield by evolution labs. They have tempered glass protectors for both front and back.

My current phone is a Nexus 6P and I have been using a Spigen case + an intelliArmor tempered glass screen protector. Both products are excellent and I have been thrilled with them (and the phone), but the battery is starting to go on me so I figured it was time for a replacement. After some research I settled on the XZP (G8142).
I was able to order the Spigen case for the XZP, but intelliArmor does not make a screen shield (that I can find), so I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with Supershieldz before.
I looked at getting the Skinomi skin and just using the part for the screen along with the Spigen case, but I really prefer tempered glass.
Looking forward to my first Xperia phone!
** UPDATE **
The protector, phone, and case all came in. The Spigen case is top notch as expected, as is the phone itself.
The screen protector is also fantastic. I tried putting it on the recommended way (using the guide stickers), but I could never get the right alignment using this method. I ended up free-handing it and lining it up as best I could, and I think I got within a half millimeter or so of a perfect application (the bottom is perfect, the top speaker is slightly off but not enough to be annoying or obstruct the speaker). There were absolutely no air bubbles to smooth out, which surprised me.

Is the adhesive just on the edges of the Tempered Glass? Is there some oil-like residue between the screen and glass?
I purchased a very similar Tempered Glass protector to the Supershieldz version and found the adhesive is just on the edges, top/bottom/left and right but the entirety of the screen, where the border is not is free to flex and obviously, with the gap that exists without adhesion has an odd oil-like residue, which many users reported.
I have had my XZP for a week now and have not even used it because I want a proper Tempered Glass protector which has received good reviews, along with a folio/wallet/flip case which has a strong latch/magnet to protect the phone overall, along with waiting for a DRM/TA fix before I stop using the Z5P and move onto my XZP.

Mine has the glue on the edges but there's no oil or anything in the middle.
It looks very similar to the Supershieldz one, might even be a rebrand. It's under the brand name "Panzer Glass".
It works pretty much flawlessly.

The one I purchased is very similar also, but has the cut-out where you can see the Sony 'logo'. Reviews are poor for those, everyone has observed the same issues as myself. I have purchased several other Tempered Glass Protectors, still waiting for them to arrive, different styles and brands to see which is the best fit with the best coverage. I will report back.

I didn't actually notice if the adhesive was along the edges or the entire piece of glass, but it seemed like the whole piece had adhesive when I peeled off the protective plastic before applying.
I have been using the phone with the protector for about two weeks and here are my observations:
I have moved my thumbs with ample pressure across the face of the protector to see if the glass shifts or moves. It hasn't budged.
No oily residue or weird artifacts.
The fit is quite nice. Without a case, the edges would be noticeable, but with the Spigen case on you can hardly tell there is a screen protector.
In bright/direct sunlight or when you hold the phone in bright light just right you will see a grid of dots on the LCD screen - I don't know if this is because of the protector or the screen itself. It doesn't bother me as it is not noticeable the majority of the time.
My account is too new to link to external sites, so just search supershieldz xperia xz premium on Amazon and it should come up.

I have moved my thumbs with ample pressure across the face of the protector to see if the glass shifts or moves. It hasn't budged.
No oily residue or weird artifacts.
The fit is quite nice. Without a case, the edges would be noticeable, but with the Spigen case on you can hardly tell there is a screen protector.
In bright/direct sunlight or when you hold the phone in bright light just right you will see a grid of dots on the LCD screen - I don't know if this is because of the protector or the screen itself. It doesn't bother me as it is not noticeable the majority of the time.
My account is too new to link to external sites, so just search supershieldz xperia xz premium on Amazon and it should come up.

Appreciate the feedback. I have just taken possession of a Muvit Tempered glass, it is clear without any borders but just the same as the rest. Everyone I have tried thus far has adhesive only on the edges, the larger portion of the screen is free to flex and move and due to that, requires a firmer press and in doing so, you hear a crisp packet like noise, a sort of crunching sound. Really annoying me now, but it is due to the curvature of the screen that we are seeing a lack of good quality glass protectors. For the Z5P I found P-Think on Amazon to be the best, yet to find any suitable candidates for the XZP.
I will order a double pack of Supershieldz soon.
Hi.
I was using foil based screen protector for long time but it wear out so I'm out for something new. I thought about getting glass or hydrogel one but I've noticed they don't cover whole screen but only flat part. So the edges aren't protected and as a "bonus" this does create sharp edge that is especially noticeable when swiping from edge (like some gestures or something).
So is there good glass or hydrogel protector that covers whole screen, also with rounded part? Can you recommend any? Or should I get back to foil one if it bothers me so much?
My recommendation would be to get a case for the phone, as well. I'm still using the one that came in the box, and it works great with the screen protectors I've used. Though, I haven't tried a tempered glass one. I've been using film ones.
Haha...nevermind. I suppose you probably already got one in the intervening 6 months.
