I ordered XtremeGuard ZU Screen protector, and it is horrible after installing it. it sticks to paper, and the touch screen sometimes now has become unresponsive after applying it. I wouldn't recommend it to y'all. Is there any other good companies out there that make clear/transparent screen protector for ZU?

I purchased this one, it's very good:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/171093978368?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Despite the fact that it takes a little bit away from the perceived image quality of my screen, I am personally using a matte screen protector on my xzu. I prefer the finish and it looks quite a bit better in sunshine. There's no reflection or unreasonable glare.

I ordered a Clarivue screen protector, the anti-glare one, a few days back and now waiting for it to arrive.
I looked high and low for a good matte protector and finally settled on this. I haven't tried them before so my decision is based more on their reputation more than anything. The price is reasonable for a front + back set, and they are confident enough to offer lifetime warranty. Will let you guys know how it turns out. :fingers-crossed:
They also gave me a discount code that will expire on 31st Dec 2013: http://clarivue.refr.cc/NP8TV3B
Feel free to use it for 10% discount on all items. Cheers. :angel:

Where did you get the XG ZU protector? I can't find it on their site.
I've used XG since forever. It's a bit sticky but I haven't found a screen protector that adheres as nicely and for as long.
There seems to be quite a few different brands of screen protectors/full body protection kits out there.
Supershieldz has one
XtremeGuard (I presume it is this one you bought) has one
Skinomi is another one. This one actually looks interesting as it comes with the spray solution too and all professionally boxed up. Anyone have experience using this brand before?
GreatShield is also another one with supposedly lifetime warranty.
And then there's the generic DealExtreme one. Not sure who the manufacturer is.
Doesn't our Sony Xperia Z Ultra already have a screen protector applied (on the front at least)? I presume it would affect sensitivity if you applied another one on top.
I ordered a tempered glass screen protector off ebay.... It arrived cracked!

I hope mine doesn't did you contact seller? Oh and does anyone have a back "screen" protecter. I want my phone to be nice and protected.
you should directly contact to customer support of ebay and discuss the issue and just told them to resolve it ASAP otherwise ask them for refund
I contacted the seller... They shipped out a new one. Just have to wait another 10 days...

I have applied a tempered glass screen protector on my Xperia Z Ultra.... perhaps the one I'm using is not of a good quality, it still attracts fingerprints and I find the responsiveness of the touchscreen has become worse, and the screen seems to become more reflective to sunlight than before... A bit regretful for putting this on as I don't feel much improvements over the previous plastic screen protector I was using...
sorry for you dude...please tell us the brand..so that we wont buy it..thanks for the heads up
Wow that sucks I just ordered mine yesterday. Both front and back I hope I don't regret it.

I just ordered one off eBay for the back. I spent money on the front and got the Armorz one. pricey but fits perfectly. attracts smudges to a degree but wipes clean with ease. hopefully the eBay back one I ordered doesn't suck. lol

Same as when I placed one on my ZXU. The brand I bought was Glas.m. It was a total waste of money to tell you the truth. The idea is nice but it just made the XZU screen loose sensitivity. Very noticeable in drawing apps and fps games. I have since removed the front Glas.m and used a regular matte screen protector. I still used the back Glas.m though protector though.

Mine is a Glass.M too ... not impressed at all ...
I got the Glass.M too, and I think it's a verry good protector.
Love the touch sensitivy, no loss on touchscreen at all, there are so much less fingerprints.
However, I think about removing the back one. It make my phone slide on every surfaces. If it's not perfectly horizontal it'll will slide slowy and fall ^^
My phone never fall at all, but since I applied this on the back it falls 4 times
Plus : Having glass.m on the both sides prevents me to use DK30
so I got the glass back piece in and it actually went on with no problems and fits rather well. now what surprised me was as I was applying it, the name brand Armorz front glass got all scuffed up. I was under the impression that it was 9H, yet simple sliding around on regular plastic topped computer desk would scratch it like crazy. I guess it can take a drill bit and razor blades but is not match for dust particles. lol *whomp whomp*

ARMORZ Stealth Extreme R Tempered Glass
Hi guys,
I applied ARMORZ tempered glass over the peeled LCD (yes, I did remove the protection layers). The Xperia Z Ultra, differs from the Z1 by a thin layer of tempered glass between the LCD and the plastic shatter-proof layer. The best way to remove both layers is to apply a lot of heat to the screen and use a very sharp tool like a snap-off cutter (I used the blade alone).
The difference with this astonish hi quality screen protector is huge! Whole new experience!
Hope it help to decide others to encourage and remove the original screen protector.
Regards
Please list out all the company making tempered glass and screen protectors here

I have only seen muvit tempered glass for Z2 on mobilefun.
Anyone have any experience with that brand on any other phone. I use the Nilkin tempered glass on my Z1 and I am really happy with that so hoping Nilkin will release for Z2 as well.

Are you keeping your Z Ultra once the Z2 is released? I'm debating if I should keep it or not.
I've always used Zagg HD version and never had issues. Does anyone know if any of the listed screen protectors as well as the tempered glass are waterproof? This device is water resistant so say i spend some time with under water pictures. Will i have to worry that my screen protector will fall off?
What's the benefit of putting a tempered glass screen protector on top of a glass phone? Glass on glass?

I would bet they are water resistant, at least to a strong degree. The benefit is the same when using a screen protector: that you don't damage the original glass. Also its real glass, so it retains the feel of glass.
Nilkin had me at "Curved edge". Gonna be ordering one
Just ordered one to Germany. But i have chosen registered mail for 2$.
Just found the SPIGEN Oleophobic Coated Glas.tR Nano SLIM for Sony Xperia Z2, pre-order on Ebay :good:
That's Spigen UK, no doubt available other regions too.

Umm, I have two questions.
1. Since its glass and not plastic sheet, doesn't it add extra weight to the device?
2. Is it crystal clear? I usually order these.
http://www.clarivue.com/sony-d6502-xperia-z2-ultra-clear-screen-protector
They have glass ones tho, although a bit more expensive, but I don't really care about the price.
http://www.clarivue.com/sony-d6502-xperia-z2-xt-tempered-glass-screen-protector-cover
Edit : Make that 3 questions, 3rd would be, is the protector for both back and front or front only?
My Nillkin came in yesterday, bit disappointed in the rear protector. I thought it would be the same as the front, I guess I'll have to order something better for the rear like a wet mount one.

I haven't seen it off of the backing paper yet being that I don't have the phone yet. It has the typical green/blue hue on the edges that you normally see on clear glass(which really isn't clear), so it's technically not crystal clear. Being that it's so thing I'm sure it's effectively clear.
Which one shall I get?

Hmm, just wanted to know if it'll affect the screen clarity in anyway. I like screen protectors which act like they're not even there when it comes to viewing the screen.
Guys i bought Nilkin from dx-box they sent me for Z1C then they told me they were gonna send again for Z2.I bought magnetic charging cable as well from same place and they sent me again wrong one for Z1.Be aware about this website.
I looked at that nilkin glass screen protector and I looked at the pictures and it looks like there are no cutouts for the front facing speakers. Isn't that going to muffle the sound or damage the speakers?

Isn't the magnetic cable the same for the Z1 and Z2?
Also, is there anyone selling just a non-glass rear protector for the Z2? I like those because it makes the back more grippy and makes me less concerned about setting it down anywhere. I don't like front protectors.
I was wondering if someone found a front AND back set with tempered glass? Couldn't find any. I currently have this on my Z1:
http://theglass-m.com/products/glass-m-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-sony-xperia-z1
Have anyone who installed tempered glass and put it into water, will it peel off and unable to stick to the screen??
I gonna buy Z2 so i need dual layer of tempered glass for front and back. I do search online but unluckily there is nothing show for dual layer(front and back).
How do you guys keep the Ultra?

Protected, because it's so thin and i carry it in my Pockets. It needs a little bit more stability. Whithout you can see what's happening whith your device, when you put a little bit weight in the middle of the screen while having nothing at the back.
Thin device + big size, not a very clever combination, some people broken the Display because of that.

The god awful ASF was the reason why I applied a tempered glass screen protector. It's a bigger hassle to try and remove the ASF as it's glued/laminated onto the glass of the phone. Glass screen protectors (like the ones from Glass-M) also have the added benefit of having an oleophobic coating that's less resistant to wear, as the glass underneath the ASF doesn't have a coasting.

Naked. I can't stand using cases. It's like buying a Porsche and mount some massive plastic bumpers in case I crash. That's not the way to enjoy it! (but I totally understand why people use them)
I have my Z Ultra in my pocket without any protection which I don't normally do with phones but I find due to the size of the phone I need as much as space as I can get and using a case reduces that. I figured that although the phone might look a bit worse for wear it was the only way I'd be able to really use it however so far aside from some cosmetic scratches on the back it looks fine, there's no sign of any damage to the screen.

Front and back screen protectors and the device stays in the CP12 charging case 99% of the time. This isn't my primary device though so it's used more as a small tablet at home. Rarely do I actually use it as a phone.

I want to buy screen protectors (for both front and back panel). Which is better plastic or tempered glass? What experiences have you got with them? And what manufacturers do you recommend? I want a screen protector that hasn't got large cuts around the camera, just a circle for the camera and another for the flash, and on the front also just a circle for the camera and another for the sensors.
I have the this Glass-M tempered protector. Both friend and back. Haven't had any issues with it for the last one year. The main advantage is that this is slim enough to work with the magnetic dock.

If u are using a case, i recommed you the Nillkin 9H tempered glass. Come with the regular plastic for protecting the back and the camera lens. Why? If u are a case user, i dont think tempered glass back will fit ur case.
Honestly, they're all the same, I burnt through the lot of them, Nilkin, Pthink, Hero. They're all the same, I see no difference in quality and durability. I think the Pthink was most resistant to fingerprints, but not by much

I prefer matte/anti-glare screen protectors. Main reason, on glass and glossy plastic surfaces, after using for a while (15-20 minutes), my fingers start to "stick" to the glass. Not really stick, per se, but they don't glide as easily and I have to switch to a different finger. With a matte protector, I never have this issue. Also, they help cut down on reflections. There are draw backs of course. It makes the screen hard to see outdoors (but I rarely use my phone outdoors) and it does reduce brightness a little (but I don't really go over 30% or so when indoors anyway). And they do introduce a touch of graininess.
The best ones I have found are iLLumiShield and Anker. Though the Anker is the best I have used, it is not available on the Z2. I have tried many other matte films, but they all introduce too much graininess. And some affect touch response.
Here is the illumishield for the Z2. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IK46CTG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
