thats a screen protector for the regular xperia z. its misleading in the title as the name of the glass is ultra glass. lol i know armorz is supposed to be coming out with one but they havent replenished stock yet. the armorz one is a bit pricey though. you could also find plenty of them on ebay for pretty cheap. i had planned on getting a tempered glass screen protector, but purchased a warranty instead.
I have the glass-m.
It's really good, easily the best protector I"ve used for the Ultra (the gearmaxx being the worst, then another plastic one which was much better).
Very few fingerprints, hardly ever need to clean it...
Looks very nice. Feels great.
At first it felt like I lost some screen sensitivity, but now I'm not so sure...
I too own a Glass-M on my S4, great screen protector! Feels a thousand times better then the shatterproof sheet. (Even a generic plastic screen protector i have on the ZU is better anyway)
My choice, for Ultra:-
(1) Armorz Stealth Extreme R Tempered Glass:
Pros - round edges
Cons - 0.4mm thickness
(2) SGP GLAS.t Slim Tempered Glass:
Pros - 0.26mm thickness
Cons - sharp edges / not available yet
I am tempted to go for the Glass-M one for $31.50.

I still have the easy peel-off screen film on my Z Ultra....do I simply peel them off then apply the Glass-M ?
What is the shatterproof cover I hear people talking about ?
Thanks guys

Easy peel off... Dude you need too read more...
That shatter proof cover is the original screen protector and it's a pain in the ass to remove.

I bought my on ebay from china it have not got it yet. Maybe I will get it today. It has been at least 15 days.
I bought a tempered glass protector off eBay (from China) as well. It arrived cracked. I contacted the seller, and they sent me a replacement. It took 17 days to arrive, and when I opened the package, it too was cracked! I'm now going to try my luck with the the Glass-M. I'm dying to use a pen/pencil on this thing but wont until I put a tempered glass screen protector on...
I'm a little irritated by how quickly Note 3 accessories became available - including tempered glass protectors. Seems like most of the big names (spigen?) wont be making tempered glass for the ZU....
do you need to remove the standard shatterproof film on the ultra to apply this glass-m protector? In some cases, Sony voids warranty upon removal of this layer.
Has anyone added the glass-m on top of the layer, and does it affect touch sensitivity? certain screen protectors make the screen go crazy, registering random touches.
very interested in the glass-m, but would like to clear up some quesitons first

Unless you remove it, it's applying a tempered glass protector on top of a plastic glass reinforced protector. So you can imagine how the touch would like that combo...
As stated. Removing the shatterproof protection is a pain. But it is totally worth it. I've never had this level of protection and comfort at the same time on any mobile device before.

Touch is not affected by the tempered glass. Using it with a pencil or any metal object registers as if nothing is on top of the screen. I'll post the photo of the brand of my tempered glass.as I forgot already.

Hopefully that will not happen to me.
Just ordered the Glass-M from here http://theglass-m.com/collections/f...-glass-screen-protector-for-sony-xperia-ultra
Hopefully all goes well and I will receive my order in pristine condition. I need this cause I just realize that there is a deep scratch on the generic screen protector that I bought from the telco.
Finally got my Glass-M. the size is smaller than the screen so its not difficult to align with your device. There is a problem with it though, the edges of the glass-m doesnt seem to stick to the device properly. I have it under a hardbound book right now in hopes of make it stick properly.
did you put it on top of your stock screen protector? or took it out?

Any updates? Did you remove the factory protector?
Thanks!
Removed it. Can't stand it not sticking properly and also making the device less sensitive especially on fps games. I originally placed it on top of the ASF. Now I'm just waiting for my screen to be scratched then I'll remove the ASF to finally touch the glass o this phone.

On mobile....
Sounds like glass4m does not have together...
I ordered the front protector for my Z Ultra, they sent me the back. Almost 3 months have passed and they have replied once to my mails but have not corrected the issue.
Watch out, having an issue after the purchase may just leave you in the cold.
S17 bucks down the drain...

DURING my pre purchase research about XPERIA ZU through different reliable forums like GsmArena, one thing that clicked and attracted me was It's screen Scratch resistant feature.
But sadly I managed to get two noticeable scratches on the very first day of use. Since my phone was under Warranty, i reported it to Sony and I was given another brand New Phone in exchange.
I advice all you Gadget lovers not to use it without Screen protector (Front n Back).
NOTE:-
SINCE it is new in market, you will hardly get Screen Protector for it. I bought Galaxy TAB 7 Inches Screen protector and managed to cut it to Xperia ZU's size. Atleast to keep it safe until the right screen protectors are easily available.
If you find it useful in any way kindly press Thank You.

My screen protector already have some 2 spot of "erased" area. I don't know how the fuk is happened. Very hard to spot this thing but on the sun I can see 2 stains like a dirty glass !!
And I swear I didn't touch my screen with no chemical/hard cloth etc
And if you look closely the Sony logo printed on the protector side again ! I hope I'm wrong. Damn it.
All fault came from Sony still insist stick that stupid "Shutter Proof Sheet" that will get scratch, it is that sheet scratch not the screen itself.

I always find it useful to have a back protector, even if the device is in a case, as bits of dust etc can still work their way into the back of the case and scratch the device :good:

I prefer the "wet" install of the xtreme guards as I find it easier to put on without getting bubbles under the film. Does anyone else find the same or is it just me?
It might be "scratch resistant" but not "scratch proof" even Gorilla glass 3 is not scratch proof and if you think otherwise try with some sand.
do we install Xtremeguard over original or do we have to remove the factory installed 'shatter-film' first?
Few days after buying I went to the store and looked at the display model screen bcoz and ithe screen definitely had quite a few scrathes and keep in mind that its only being handled not shoved into pockets etc. So I immediately got scratch gaurd. so get a scratch gaurd and don't trust the manufacturers when they tell you it's scratch resistant or scratch proof.

Scratch resistance is total BS
How do you guys even believe this?
Sure one screen can be more, or even much more scratch resistant then the other but no matter what all screens will scratch.
Take some beach sand, put it on your screen and go rub it on the table! Even glass scratches, sure a metal key wont do it, but grains of dust will which have sand in them.
Not using a screen protector simply means you dont care about scratches. In the end when the screen is on, its very hard to see them.
Personally i do not remove the plastic cover the screen comes with until i have a screen protector in hand, ready to apply!
Hey guys it scratch resistant not scratch proof moreover theres a extra screen protector thats shatterproof its very thin almost un noticeable and it isnt scratch resistant hence there are many scratch. Theres one in front one in back hard to peel off and notice but its there believe me

Hello,
i just received my Nillkin 3D CP+ Max tempered glass two hours ago,
and guess what? it was damaged 10 minutes later because of my casology vault 1 case!
i wonder what should i do to protect my phone's screen from drops?
any ideas about Anything compatible with that case i should use to protect my phone?
seems like all glass protectors are the same with the cases , also other soft protector isn't designed to protect the phone against drops
what should i do?
Honestly i'm giving up!
I break 3 tempered glass screen protectors with small 0.5m drops. Reason is different from yours. Due to our edge screen, temper glass will get cracked easily.
For your case, u should look for " case friendly " screen protectors. Find those which does not cover the edges or/and full screen. Can be tempered glass, PET or healing verison.
I tried without screen protector. The conclusion is very nice screen but gorilla glass 5 is NOT scratch proof. I got some minor scratches.
In Singapore, we have plenty in physical shops, and online shops like q10sg and lazada etc. selling mobile phone accessories. So i have no links to share with you. Just search for some " case friendly " screen protectors.
Ps:
I wasted about sgd100 on screen protectors. Hahah
I gave up on tempered glass. I use spigen neo flex wet apply for now. Going for lifeproof fre when it comes out.
I basically gave up on TGSP's on these types of devices as well. Display is holding up pretty well w/ my rough handling, haven't seen any scratches yet but I'm sure it'll have some sometime down the line. Lol
Ive spent over $100 on screen protectors for the S8 (whitestone dome was $45) and not a single one has worked. The amount of money Ive paid would have paid for 9 months of Samsung Premium care and with the free month Id get 10 months of insurance which is longer than Ill have this phone. Yes Id still have to pay a $99 deductible but Id have a perfect phone in 24 hours if I break it vs no insurance and a box of useless screen protectors.
Ive been able to return all but one protector so Ive decided to focus my money on insurance and peace of mind knowing that when it breaks Ill have a new one.
Skip the screen protectors and get insurance. The headache is just not worth it. If the scratches get to the point of bothering you, start carrying the phone naked. Eventually you're going to need to file a claim.
Here's another one https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/accessories/type-screen-adhseive-glass-sort-t3618285
Give this one a try. Working flawlessly on my device.

I've just got one of those plastic screen protectors from Invisible Shield that doesn't go all the way to the edge. It does the job. Either way, with or without a protector, your phone is still vulnerable to drops.

Oh yeah, I should've mentioned -- I've got a Spigen Neo Hybrid and it slips on/off without any issues and works with the protector.
I've had the same exact issue. I've bought the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case (perfect case by the way, I love it, had the same on my Nexus 6, showcases the back of the phone while protecting it just as well as the well-known neo hybrid case). I knew that the tempered glass screen protectors won't work with it well and I didn't want to waste my money on them. I looked for something different. I ended up buying the official screen protector for under $10 (you get 2 for the price) (this one, only for S8 instead of S8+: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/accessories/official-samsung-s8-screen-protector-t3600373 , model number is Samsung ET-FG950CT).
I thought it might fit with the case. But when I came home, after a while I realized that this isn't gonna work. So I was deciding what to do, return the protector? But then I'd have to find another one, which might be long and expensive journey. I didn't want that.
So I grabbed my scissors and started to cut the protector carefully. There was not much I could lose. I cutted it to the point where it doesn't interfere with the case, but covers pretty much the whole display. It isn't the most elegant solution, but it works and I am satisfied with it. And I still got one screen protector to repeat the process in case this one ever gets damaged

The tempered glass that works for me is the Ankoon tempered glass screen protector. The screen protector just covers up to about where the edge begins to curve. In that way when you put a case on it, it doesn't rub up against it were it bends the tempered glass protector.
I have the GS8 with the Spigen Neo Hybrid case and I do not have any problems with the tempered glass screen protector lifting against the case. If you do get this tempered glass screen protector, I would advise you to get the 2-pack of this screen protector since its not that much more than the single pack and you have a spare screen protector handy to replace the current screen protector if it starts to break down.

i opened the link at amazon and i saw A LOT of angry people reviewing the Protector
Same, I would only trust full adhesive ones and not ones with adhesives on the sides only.
I guess I got lucky on mine. Have the S8 Plus and have had no problems at all with my screen protector. I read up on them beforehand and read plenty of reviews and just decided to not even attempt a glass screen protector.
I ordered two kinds on Amazon. The IQ Shield liquid skin, and the Spigen Neo-flex. I put the IQ Shield on, took maybe 10 minutes, and haven't had a single issue after about a month now, all the edges are still stuck down. It's very clear and seems durable. It reminds me of a Zagg invisible shield but not nearly as "rubbery" feel. It feels like a cross between a Zagg invisible shield and a glass one. I'm still on the first one so haven't had a chance to compare it to the Spigen and I also have a spare IQ Shield.
I also ordered the Caseology coastline series slim transparent cover. Works great with the above screen protector. Like they were made for each other and it protects great. It's taken quite a few drops and at least twice has flown out of my cycling top flying down the road at 23 mph. Barely a scratch!!

Yes because they are bunch of noobs that do not know how to apply this tempered glass screen protector. Anyways it seems like with these curved screens almost all of the tempered glass screen protectors just have adhesives on the side and you stick it on.
I was like you fed up and almost just gave in to do the wet screen protectors but just the mere thought of having to spray the beautiful phone with the solution and squeegee out the excess AND not to mention that you have to wait like half a day for the thing to dry out before using it made me at least consider trying 1 more tempered glass screen protector which this one talked about having less real estate it covers to provide enough cushion to apply a case and sure it enough it worked for me. I ordered the 2 pack version which is through the link below. For some reason Amazon separated the product reviews so this one has more positive reviews but you are never going to satisfy everyone.
I guess I could post a pic to show what my phone looks like with the screen protector on and the case.

There is no need to use screen protector in today's phones. I stopped in late 2015 and none of my phones got any scratches on screen (and I put them in my bag with my keys all the time). The gorilla glass 4/5 are super strong and scratch resistant.
I bought a couple from AliExpress dint work as well as needed the screen fully works but bringing the notification panel down was an issue but give the Whitestone dome protector i have a friend who uses it and says its brilliant though its pretty expensive but rather 50 bucks than getting a new screen my Opinion
Just got these in 2 days ago and it works great! They actually have the screen protector just the right width do that the case does not peel up the glass, also my old Spigen case doesn't peel it up either, just throwing that out there if you dont like the cases.

Hey guys,
sorry if my english isn't perfect at all. I just received my Oneplus 5 yesterday and I already have a case, which is good for me. The thing is that screen protection is actually a headache with this phone...
The default screen protector that Oneplus has isn't bad at all, but of course is not something to use forever. So I've read the Orzly thread, the Nillkin thread, even the original Oneplus 5 tempered glass thread, and I still having doubts about what should I definetly buy. I ordered Orzly's tempered glass yesterday, but now some people are telling me that it was a bad idea since it has an "oil effect" and other faults.
So my questions are:
1 - Is the Orzly's tempered glass worthy after all?
2 - Will we have new screen protectors soon with higher quality?
Not sure if I should cancel my order
Thank you all in advance.
I bought the Orzly's tempered glass and I can say that it's worth the price.
However there are things you need to know :
1. it's very a dust magnet near the cutout.
2. there is a rainbow effect with this protection.
3. The touch screen is average...
So now I got the Nillkin tempered glass and I'm very happy with it. Of course it doesn't cover the whole screen (that is the main issue). But there is not rainbow effect. And the touch screen is way better than the Orzly's. And it feels higher in terms of quality.
Also, it's less dust magnet than the Orzly.
In my opinion, you should wait until a compagny releases a good tempered glass (I'm thinking about spigen). But in case you really need a tempered glass screen protector, take Orzly if you a tempered glass that covers the whole screen. Otherwise, take the nillkin.

Thanks, I'll keep the order then and let's see what happens.
the orzly broke on my phone after 2 days, i still have one screen protector left. i hope it lasts longer. I actually was expecting that to happen since orzly's protector is completely flat.
the next time i need a screen protector ill get one of those plastic ones.

I think that doesn't matter what screen protector you have. My girlfriend 3 years ago had the best screen protector ever and her Nexus 4 just was destroyed in a normal fall, so...
Screen protectors are only for scratches, if the fall must destroy the phone it will anyway.
The Orzly TGSP is probably the best one out there. It does have it's problems but it provides full covereage. It's the one i'm using.
I am still using my orzly tgsp because it is the best of the bunch atm. I got lucky and do not have the rainbow effect in the center of the screen, so install carefully and you might not get it either
Thank you all for your answers, I hope to receive it as soon as possible

Oh, cool! Huh, I looked on SuperShieldz's website directly and at first I thought I found them but then I noticed it was for the XA1. I wonder if there's a chance it's fake - maybe someone repackaged a different brand into their packaging? Seems strange that it can be found there but not Amazon or from the manufacturer directly.
Hopefully within a short period of time they'll have a clear one for you.

Supershieldz has it listed on their site now. Amazon now says they are being shipped by Supershieldz themselves as well so that assures to me it's the real deal on Amazon.

Edit: Ordered the Supershieldz, should receive it next week.
You don't need tempered glass on your phone, gorilla glass is much more stronger than any tempered glass. If you drop your phone with a tempered glass on and the tempered glass shatters, that doesn't mean gorrila glass would break without the screen protector. s8 breaks easily on the corners and sure it has gorrila glass 5 wich is 2x stronger than the 4 but the corners are curved a lot wich results in a less surface for the force to spread so all the force is stuck at that corner resulting in a crack.
xa2 and xa2 ultra don't have those really curved edges so you should be fine.
Btw if you really want one, get a curved tempered glass otherwise it won't spread all the way over the glass or it will not stick at the sides resulting in less visibility at those sides (experiences)
I am seeing a few more glass protectors on amazon but most have terrible ratings. Can anyone give a review of their experience with temp. Glass on this device?
Sidenote: Dave thanks for the info!

I haven't put my Supershieldz yet on because I was waiting to get a case, and I had accidentally ordered a case for the non-Ultra XA2. Was able to return it but I'm waiting until I have $25 more I want to buy from Amazon before ordering the right cheap case.
I read in a couple of places that some of the glass protectors have only rim of adhesive securing the temp. glass to the phone. This has stopped my quest so far.
Yesterday I picked up a "Kristall Nano protector" this is one of those liquid protectors claiming a "Hardness 9 H". One of the employees at conrad showed me that hes using this currently. The screen felt like glass and looked perfect. 100% clarity w. No rainbow effect etc. It doesnt replace the strength of a glass protector but for now will help prevent scratches.
I had another idea for those feeling adventurous... why not use this nano stuff as the adhesive for the other protectors.
I assume that this will increase the protection level and fill the airgaps.

My experience with ultra screen protectors
First of all, let me say that the assumption that the gorilla glass itself is scratch resistant is just not true in reality, no matter what Sony claims. From my first tablet z all the way to this new xa2 ultra, all of my Sony phones collected visible scratches without a screen protector. Just search YouTube to see for yourself how easily the screen of xa2 ultra gets scratched by simple contact with keys and coins.
When I got my ultra XA two years ago I searched for a good screen protector and the best I could find was a tempered glass which left about 2 mm unprotected on each side of the screen. That's where the curvature of the LCD glass on XA ultra starts. Also I found a "curved" screen protector for XA which was really a piece of hardened plastic (not tempered glass) bent on the sides and it only had adhesive around the edges. So despite the fact that it covered the whole LCD, because there was no adhesive under The Protector, there was an air gap everywhere between the protector and the glass which made the clarity quite low.
The situation for xa2 ultra is even worse because the actual curvature of the LCD starts about one centimeter from the edges. So no flat protector including the ones with the 2 millimeter gap on the sides will properly adhere to the glass. I tried one that I ordered on eBay and as you can see in the picture there are major strips of air gaps on both sides. I haven't tried any curved protectors yet so it would be nice if someone who has used them comments here. I have ordered film screen protectors which I should receive soon. And because they're not rigid I'm hoping they will naturally stick to the sides of the screen. I will post pictures here once I receive them.
Update: I received the film screen protectors. The situation is similar to the tempered glass, albeit no as bad: it still leaves about 2 mm unprotected on each side, and the air gaps are still there but they are only about 2mm in width.
Summary: I am yet to find a proper full LCD protector for this phone.

Actually a small update. I've found out that I've actually lost it! I don't know when I don't know how and why.
Now I've got a ****ty tiny plastic protector. Couldn't find anything reliable.

Hello All!
Did anyone find good solution for screen protection:
- cover the whole LCD
- good contact with screen (no air)
- reliable enough
?
My device is new but I know all the tempered glass protectors are awful for this phone and dropped fast from the screen...
Whitestone dome is expensive for me.. but it was worth it?
I want good screen protector please.. glass is not good for this phone? maybe I need clear protector or matte? silicone?
UV light is a good option or the liquid water scratch the screen?
Please advices!!
Search on AlieExpress for Liquid Tempered Glass for Galaxy S9. You can even choose Case friendly or normal type of glass. Price is around 10$.

I'm using the Whitestone. It is expensive but if you do it right it will be the only one you need for the life of the phone. I have one on my s9+ and on my note 8. If you but an 800€/$/£ phone there is no reason to cheap out on a screen protector and case.
this whitestone is good? but I read of users that have bubbles after a few days of use..
why so expensive? durable for drops?
how is the warranty?
Bought a few protectors from aliexpress for about 1.5€ each. Finally managed to apply the third one correctly and its absolutely great. Will definitely not protect against drops and shattering but they do their jobs against scratches.

thank you, i bought two
You can use any other tempered glass with UV glue, just as whitestone and avoid buying the expensive one, just use loca glue and a cheap (but good) tempered glass, google "DIY tempered dome glass for S9".
I ordered the Whitestone and installed it.. amazing screen protector I ever used..
I use the IQ Shield LiQuidSkin. It is relatively thin.
I use Crocfol screen protectors since ages. They're a foil so they go around the edges of S8 and S9 perfectly. Work as good as a tempered glass protector. Spigen has a similar product.
They're long lasting, self-reparing, don't take anything away from screen sensitivity. A bit pricey, around 25€ for a set with 2x front 1x protector plus something they call "liquid glass" which you can apply directly on the screen to eradicate micro scratches and seal your screen again, but absolutely worth it. I applied the first set immediately after my S9 arrived half a year ago and still have it on without it coming off around the edges or getting dull from scratches.
I had an accident and dropped my S8 full speed on concrete out of hand height, all it got was a tiny crack on the backside (2mm maybe). So if you don't like glass protectors this might be a very good choice for you.
I ordered the Spigen Neoflex
skinomi this is my go to screen protector. works with any case and when u scratch it it comes back to the original shape, more like gel on top though you don't notice it. It has life time warranty, easy to apply and the price is decent. all those aliexpress , ebay screens dont make sens any more. i mean you spend a 500 600 on a phone and you wont spend 10- 20 for something decent at least.
I used this and it works just like WhiteStone at a lower cost. Liked it so much I purchased two just in case.

I've got the supacase unicorn beetle. Has good case protection, very light and built in screen protector. Couldn't ask for much more.
Hi I ordered this screen protector and it seems nice ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Samsun...var=442089289527&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 )
Search term : "s9 tempered case friendly full glue"
It's very glossy, not fingerprint resistance but it sticks very well to the glass, bubble free (except the red circled areas ), and absolute no problem with touch responsiveness (I enabled touch sensitivity).
Now it's been about a week installed so drop, scratch and water resistance testings are not done yet
Works good easy to install no Fuss. www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F7M061/
I am really impressed with this $16 TGSP from Amazon, US.

It is a full glue and was an easy install and feels better than the Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector that are on my and the wife's Note 9s. It does not show grease from fingers, like the Whitestone, either.
I wish they made it for the Note 9.
