[Q] OEM screen protector? - Xperia Z3 Accessories

I am new to the Xperia z3, and have had it for about a week. I love the phone but am curious about the screen protector that came with it. Generally I use the zagg invisible shield or the armorsuit military shield, but fell in love with the ease of the electrostatic matte one. The level of protection it offers is sufficient for my needs but I love how easy it was to remove residual dust from under it without ruining it or having residue. Does anyone know by chance where one can get more or what brand ships with the phone?

would you try glass4m protector?

My Z3 didn't come with a screen protector so that doesn't help you. But I prefer Crystalusion for protection and fingerprint resistance. It wears off in about 5-6 months of heavy use but the screen protectors I've used (plastic) don't last any longer. I've not tried glass protectors.

I've never tried glass screen protectors before. If I found a good deal, I might be tempted, but that seems a little overkill for my use.

I'd never say glass protector is an overkill. It gives you solid additional protection plus the feeling under fingers is vastly better. You can get non branded ones from eBay which will do the job just fine for 5USD or so.

How difficult are they to install? Is it a wet or dry install and is there an adhesive or dies it use static to adhere to the screen?

Dry install. Much much easier to install then foil as you can hold all four corners. I believe it uses some sort of invisible adhesive. Also, you don't have to push any air bubbles out, it pushes air out itself.

Who needs a screen protector? Make stock glass oleophobic

I took off my stock screen protector a while ago and installed a tempered glass screen protector since the stock glass has no oleophobic coating and feels a little sticky. Well my screen protector chipped so I removed it and applied a coat of rain x. It feels great! Still slightly more sticky than gorilla glass but much better than the stock glass. I applied some to the back glass too just for protection under my case. The glass is more shiny and attracts fingerprints less. Any fingerprints are wiped off easier. I highly recommend using rain x instead of a screen protector after removing the stock layer. Now I'm pissed that I spent so much on those stupid screen protectors that are hard to apply perfectly and chip/crack after a few months.
..exactly what tempered screen protector did you buy? You have a link?
Great idea!!
Might use this on my new mobile phone, as I am looking to upgrade to this model.

I started with the one everyone on here recommends, m-glass. I got some crap under the front glass so I ordered the explosion proof front protector off amazon. The front protector chipped near the microphone after a few months and when I removed my case I noticed the m-glass back had cracked. The glass protectors feel nice but are too expensive and not durable imo.

Just put illumishield screen protectors front and back on my Z Ultra, looks good, except for detritus and bubbles underneath.
And I put them over the screen, without taking off the film.
Screen is very responsive, so impressed.

Not sure if you want to be in regular contact with those chemicals: http://goo.gl/yLmN1d
Known eye irritant.
May want to consider something less toxic like http://goo.gl/le5xtW if you want to go down this road.
So, I did this. Looks like a lot of forums have threads about Rain-X yielding positive results.
I also found this post and followed one of the comments.
Not sure if its available everywhere, but for glass coating I use Gtechniq G5. It lasts way longer than Rain X.
Applying is the same for both, tho.. The trick is to clean the screen as good as possible, and use something alcohol-based to make the surface free of residue from the cleaners. Put some G5/Rain X on a cotton patch and apply it in a THIN layer on the glass in "up and down" movements (not circular). Let it sit for a while (2-5min), then apply a new layer the same way on top of the previous layer and let that sit for a while again. Use a clean hot water-moist microfiber cloth to buff it off, and a dry one after.
Let the glass cure for a couple of hours (NO TOUCHING), and your good to go. The G5 coating should last for at least 6 month, and your glass screen should be resistant to dust and fluids. MUCH easier to clean too!

i-Croo edge to edge TPU Screen protectors (OCD Approved)

Hey guys it's my first post on XDA. I hope this will be helpful for people who are looking for a full coverage screen protector for their brand new Galaxy S7.
First of all, as you all know that the S7 screen has an even worse curve than the S6. Therefore, it has been a nightmare for me to find a screen protector that covers the whole screen without lifting on the edges. ( major OCD User)
I got tired of tempered glass and PET cuz they don't cover the full screen or don't fully stick on the edges so I decided to go with TPU.
i-croo Screen protectors are flexible TPU material that will curve with your screen and stick completely no matter how curvy the edge of the screen is. The cut outs are extremely precise and coverage is great ( i would say about 98% of the screen). The clarity is supered ( tried Yootech S P which cover the whole screen but makes screen looks grainy and has rainbow effect). You can't even tell there is a screen protector on unless u pay very close attention. These screen protectors provide much better protection against scratches or drop compared to PET.
The screen protectors comes with everything you would find with other screen protectors. However, these come with an installation tool ( which i did not use cuz i prefer not having too much stuff near the phone that has dust particles which can be attract by the static charge when you peel the screen protector off), but it think it might be helpful for those who are not skilled at aligning screen protector. The best part is it is a dry installation so you can use dust removal sticker to get rid of dust particle if there is any under the screen. ( Can't tell you how much i hate wet installation which collects tons of dust and fingerprints). In addition, they are very thoughtful and included a hard squeegee that is cover with cloth tape so you would not scratch your screen protector.
The reviews of these on Amazon are not great but trust me this is the best solution for now until they can make curved tempered glass that fully adhere and not just the outside edge like Coral Glass). It works great with Ringke slim case ( will update with 3 more cases soon: Spigen rugged, BLIQ Flex Pro Espresso, and VRS Design-High Pro Shield )
In summary.
PROs:
- Prefect fit, full coverage
- Extremely clear ( almost invisible)
- Fully stick
- better protection than PET
- Dry installation
- thoughtful presentation
Cons.
-might be hard for some to install
- little bit hard to peel off ( tip: use a small dust removal sticker to hold the corner of the screen protector as you peel it off to prevent getting fingerprint under it, also makes it much easier to peel)
- not sure if it will work with all cases
OCD user score ( 4.5/5)
PS: I think it better to get these protectors without the Installation tool if you're skilled at installing them, save a dollar
I cant post images links due to having less than 10 post, you can see the images from my amazon review under Thetechnerd. It would be great if someone can help me post the images here ( plz pm me)
PLz search B01D0XEF3Q from Amazon search box. Thanks all
Here's the link http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Protec...01D0XEF3Q/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Some reviews have been saying that it scratches really easily. Also does it attract fingerprints/oil easily? Thanks
I did not see any noticeable scratch after 4 days of using it, only tiny micro scratches that you have to put under the light and look at the phone from an angle but maybe because I take good care of my stuffs. So I tested scratching the screen protector with a sim removal tool. After running the pointy end of the sim removal tool a few times on the phone surface, I was like "Holly crap, the screen protector is full of scratches". I then use a micro fiber cloth to rub it off, and "WOW" all of those scratches magically disappeared from the surface of the screen protector, and it is looking like new. Therefore, i believe that these screen protector are self-healing.
About smudges and fingerprints, I think it gets dirty at the same rate as any other PET screen protector. However, I do think that TPU screen protector are harder to clean. It requires more effort to clean than PET and and tempered glass. I had to rub it almost twice as many times as I did with PET. Oh well, for the clarity and protection it provides, it doesn't bother me that much.

I am really close to ordering this product since I am sick and tired of trying to find a tempered glass that does the job. Well, I take that back. I know that coral guard one or whatever apparently does the job but it is like 30 bucks.
Is the TPU cover in between regular film protector and tempered glass as far as hardness and protection? How is the feel of the protector, more glass or film?

So I installed the screen protector yesterday and first of all I have to say it is a great fit. This is truly an edge to edge protector. Went on fairly easy, let it dry over night and I see no bubbles or peeling. As far as the material goes I'd say it's somewhere in between PET and those self healing films. This particular one is very clear with a small amount of texture (sticky feel), and under some lighting there is a slight rainbow effect. I'm used to glass screen protectors but this is a great compromise unless your willing to pay $30 for the full coverage ones. I'm also pretty picky about what goes on my phone and I honest give this a 5/5 for quality and price.

Yeah I ordered a two pack thank God. The first one was so bubbly that I took it off. Installed the second one and it still is bubbly but I tried to smooth it out. It has this weird indentation because of smoothing it out but whatever.
It's easier to tolerates than the horrible halo effect.

I had some weird stuff going on after the install but as it dried up it slowly went away. I install paint protection films on cars and this is very similar. Usually I let my customers know it takes about 2 days to fully dry, so hopefully yours is still in the drying phase.
I could not agree more though that damn halo effect on the regular protectors just kills the beauty of the phone.

Actually, it looks like the manufacturer is sending me another unit since I had issues with these. Any advice on putting these things on without causing any sort of surface damage? I can see indentations when viewing my protector at certain lighting.
I know you did a wet install but I don't think I want to go that route. Maybe I just need to be easier on the protector when I am pushing the bubbles out?
What is the difference in this and every other wet install protector that is not PET, but more that rubbery material?
Has anyone tried this screen protector with the Tech21 Frame case?

Wet install is best with a slightly soapy water solution and since our phones are water resistant its a no brainer. Only other suggestion is as you said, go easy when using the squeegee.

Alright I am gonna give the wet install a shot.
What was your dilution with soap and water? Just a drop in a cup of water and mix it around? Did you use a sprayer or just use your hands?
Be careful with the soapy water. Soap lowers the surface tension of water and can get into the phone. Read that someone washed their phone and ruined it because of the soap.

should i remove the screen protector?

I find that the (plastic) screen guard that's provided with this phone is a major smudge magnet. I'm thinking of removing it. I'd like any feedback from anyone who has already taken it off.
Cheers.
UPDATE: I went ahead and got 9H Glass cover. 2-pack for $8 on Amazon. Immensely better than the plastic this phone ships with. I highly recommend doing this, even if you don't personally see a problem with the plastic cover. I promise once you see the difference you'll agree it was worth it.
So happy I posted this question.
Thank you all for your responses!
There doesn't seem to be an oleophobic coating on the display because they expect you to keep the screen protector on. So taking it off might result in even more smudges. Personally, I didn't find the screen protector that came pre-installed to be a smudge magnet. I actually found that it reduced them. I'm not saying the protector necessarily has an oleophobic coating, but that I didn't have a problem with smudges on it. The only reason why I took mine off was because there was some black dust underneath the screen protector and I couldn't get it back on without more dust appearing under it. So I just removed it completely. You might have to buy another screen protector of your choice that will better repel smudges to your satisfaction.
I've taken mine off because I scratched mine with a paper towel (like wtf?) but now I wish I haven't, because things stick to the screen easier. So unless you have an alternate screen protector ready, I'd recommend not.

Thanks. This is information I didn't have. I have a couple of other devices with no plastic cover; I don't have the smudge issue with them. But if there's no coating on the h5, then it's probably best to keep it on.
Buy a tempered glass protection, that's cheap and protect very well the screen (ebay, amazon, aliexpress bangood, etc....) keywords : phone name + "tempered glass" or "9h"

Plastic is not the same feel as glass on the fingers (don't know how to explain it better in english), and it scratch must faster.

Bought a generic 9H on eBay for 1€
I also have a transparent silicone case for the same price
I also bought the Nillkin 9H, but the other is still good so....
I took my plastic screen protector off the moment I got my tempered glass screen protector. Couldn't really remember how the original one felt since I only had for a very short period of time. That said, I recommend taking screen protector off for something better.
The stock screen protector is trash, all it does is act as a fingerprint magnet.
I did go to a Nillkin 9H. Wow - 90% reduction in smudges, and it is more sensitive than the stock plastic. Dropped the phone a few times, no issues. I do have an iPacky thin case, and it shows the abuse of daily use, but survives fine. It is also very thin. The thick cases defeat the whole purpose of our slim beauty.
I found that replacing the factory plastic screen protector with a high quality glass screen protector makes it a little better in terms of less fingerprint smudges and protection.

I have literally never used any screen protector and have never had issues. However, YMMV. I immediately took off the screen protector that came with it. I did buy a nice cheap protective case from Amazon prime. It has enough lip to protect the screen and I always make sure not to put my phone in the same pocket as my keys or sharp items.
using honor 5x without screen protector since months, no scratch at all.
bt the back side got a couple of scratches from my bike keys

OEM Tempered Glass

Is it me, or is this tempered glass screen protector really difficult to apply without getting air bubbles? Does anyone have any tips on installing it?
get your phone and tempered glass in your bathroom , install it after a shower ,steam makes a dust-free room. and before u did it make sure u read the install instruction.
Tempered seems the easiest not to get air bubbles imho.

That's been the case since forever, but THIS particular screen protector, the official one by OnePlus, is by far, THE WORSE.
Trust me when I say, I've ordered more than 7 (seven) official screen protector and they are the toughest TGSP I've ever applied in my life and I've applied hundreds of tempered glass screen protectors.
1) The back plastic is incredibly difficult to separate. You will most likely warp the glass (or crack it) while separating it and risk getting lint stuck on the adhesive when the glass and plastic snaps apart (yes it will snap).
2) most likely a bubble will persist and will not go down no matter how hard to you to work it out. And it's not the adhesive that's the culprit, it's somehow the screen and the glass protector don't mate perfectly. Because if you reverse the TGSP and install it backwards with the notch on the bottom of the screen, it adheres perfectly without bubbles indicating the adhesive is not at fault.
3) You'll get pissed and blame OnePlus for such crappy product and will request a refund but they'll give you a very, very hard time this PayPal is your best friend to get the refund.
4) You'll find a lot of bubbles. And I mean a lot. And the official hard squeegee is not as good as your finger nail to work those bubbles out.
In my experience it was easy to install and I had no issue with bubbles at all. Positioning was easy with the supplied case and the few bubbles that were there worked out in about 30 seconds. I will say removing it from the backing was somewhat difficult
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
I had trouble with this too. What I did was wrap the cleaning cloth around my finger tip and press hard into the bubbles, rubbing my finger around them until they "squeeged" out. I had like 15 bubbles, most were small, but one was a little bigger and was quite stubborn. I just worked a little longer on it and it finally came out.
Can anyone recommend a better tempered glass rather than the overpriced OEM oneplus glass? This is my second one and I'm sick of how difficult it is to apply and also the price isn't the most friendly. Thanks

Thanks for the recommendation, I just got done ordering the first link you referred me to me.
Use the case out of the box when apply this one.. Dont need to worry about positioning anymore. And yes, in a bathroom. Apply top, let it drop, push from top downwards with the tool et voila.
I use the OEM screen protector. Is good enough.

Question What screen protector and back cover shall I get for my S22?

As the Samsung screen protectors are just plastic ones, I need a real protector and back cover!
Check Amazon. There is a lot to choose from. If you stick to a known brand you should be OK. I had my case and glass screen protector before I received my phone. I got a clear plastic case so I can see the color of my green phone. I have been using similar cases for years without any issues. This is the first time in a long time I got to use a tempered glass screen protector. My last few phones had curved screens and the glass really didn't fit properly.

As the Samsung screen protectors are just plastic ones, I need a real protector and back cover!

I'd recommend you a film screen guard from Gadgetshieldz which is not plastic, it is made from nano polymer as I saw on their website. This protector can self-heal so you can get this instead of the plastic ones.
I got the amfilm 2 pack OneTouch tempered glass screen protector. Turned on increased sensitivity, re-registered my fingerprints and it seems fine.
When applying it, press from the bottom where the fp sensor is, it might help.
I went with amFilm HD Clear Hybrid Screen Protector. Its a 2 pack and also comes with 2 camera protectors as well. I didnt use them, but the screen protector looks flawless.
I read too many issues with glass protectors, so while I ordered one, it will stay put away for now.

I'll check out this screen protector, it self-heals scratches that is great, and is it actually works fine?

I'll check it out, tempered glass should be good not the one that breaks soon. Is the glass doesn't break for a long time?

Yes, I too saw issues with tempered glass and I hate when it breaks soon! I'll check out the film protector!

Thanks for the info, I've ordered one for my S22 Plus and I think it'll get delivered after I get the phone!
I'm going to try the Samsung screen protector (it's cheap and on offer!).
My S20 came with a screen protector already installed, and I discovered, by an accidental drop onto a brick corner, that it does a decent self-healing job. The brick gouged right in the middle of the screen, making a rough raised welt. I thought I'd have to replace it, but after a day it had flattened out, closed up, and become much less noticeable. It's still visible, but it's smooth and looks more like a small chip than a deep gouge.

But the Samsung screen protectors are plastic and it scratches a lot and blurs the display in less than 6 months!!!

The one on my S20 has lasted pretty well for 2 years, so that's not a problem for my usage. I don't want a glass one that can shatter or crack when damaged.

Yes, the glass protector shatters and it is frustrating! and my usage is high so I'll get so many scratches. As clairlara said in the discussion I ordered this Gadgetshieldz film screen protector and it can really self-heal the scratches that occur on it as she said and I like this instead of a plastic protector! check it out,
