Steinheil anti-fingerprint vs ultra clear

Can anyone chime in? I did search and found that these seem to be the best available, but didn't find a comparison.
Do they both work the same in sunlight? or is there an advantage to the matte anti-fingerprint version?
I don't like having to find a shady spot when I'm outside to see what's on my screen

I have the ultraclear on and love it. Great in the sun and fingerprints show.up less then the glass I would just get ultra clear

I've owned both for various phones and am currently using the Ultra Clear on my EVO:
Ultra Clear
Pros:
1. Ultra clear
2. Reduces fingerprinting compared to the naked screen
3. Very durable/scratch resistant
4. Very smooth feel, to me it feels just like the naked glass.
Cons:
1. Fit is not 100% perfect, it leaves a small gap all around it.
2. Still shows fingerprints (though less)
Anti-fingerprint
Pros:
1. Reduces fingerprinting drastically compared to the naked screen
2. Very durable/scratch resistant
3. Nice textured feel
Cons:
1. Reduces the clarity of the screen substantially, IMO so much so that I prefer not to use this protector for this reason alone.

Martin Fields is the very best. It even includes a camera lens protector. However it is very expensive.

I know its offtopic a little but what about bodyguardz?
I really cant find a difference between most but i know invisible shield is VERY Thick.

I know some people swear by Bodyguardz and I have used it on other devices. However it is a wet application product like Invisibleshield and more than one EVO user has claimed that water from the install ruined their phone. Therefore on my screen I will only use static application (water free) protectors such as the Steinheil or Seidio.

Besides for that how does it hold up to the other ones???

Docprego - thanks for the detailed comparison. Was ready to order the ultra clear until I read about the Martin Fields. (Thanks jerryparid)
The Martin Fields comes out to $27 shipped though! Pretty steep...
What I like about this one is the included camera lens protector. The aluminum ring around the camera lens is flush with the glass, which makes no sense. If they wanted to protect the glass, they should have recessed the glass into the aluminum ring a little bit.
Anyone know of a company selling just a small circle to cover the lens? Does the lens protector distort or reduce photo quality in any way? Thanks!

i got the Steinheil ultra clear and i found the resulting tactile response to be a bit worse than some of the other screen protectors i've tried, ie. sprints

I do not feel that the film reduces photo quality. It is crystal clear and glass-like. The cut is near perfect. However, Martin Fields does not offer the best performance under the sun (compared to anti-glare protectors).

I got the Steinheil Ultra Crystal Screen Protector from the SGP Store. I'll tell you, for $16.74 ($13.99 + $2.75) at the door, nothing can beat this excellent product.
Ordered online Sunday morning. Order was shipped on Monday and I got it today, Thursday.
Yes, I will confess it was a pain in the a** to get it right, not so much because of it being difficult to apply, but because I made the mistake to peel off the protector and then leave it like that for a while while double checking the instructions and videos in YouTube. What happened is that small lint particles floating in the air got stuck to the film, so when I applied it I had multiple pieces all over my screen.
Now, I must say, the provided "dust remover" stickers DO WORK. Use one to lift the film, another one to remove the particles adhered to the inside of the film or screen. (I kept 2 stickers on each corner of the film, since I had to peel from different angles. This saved me a lot of time.)
In my case, I just had so many it was totally exhausting to get them all out. But I did a pretty good job despite the initial setback. I was very meticulous and wanted it as perfect as possible, and I am happy to say that at the end it came out just like I wanted.
Also, I was a little worried after reading some of the posts here, regarding lower responsiveness to the touch. Well, I have ZERO issues with that. I am very impressed, actually. I can barely tell the protector is there, yes, it is ULTRA CLEAR indeed. Everything works just as it was before, to the slightest touch.
And since I am using the protector along with a black TPU case, it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to tell there is a film covering the screen, because you cannot see the edges of the film. (The film is slightly smaller in dimensions than the actual screen, but it does cover the whole face, including buttons on the bottom.)
Overall, very pleased and happy. I recommend this product to everybody.

PS - I can't say much about glare under sunlight, since it is night time over here right now... But if anybody wants to know, I can update this thread tomorrow.

Official Sony screen protectors from Japan for Xperia S

Hey guys I just recieved and applied the official Sony screen protector for the Xperia S from Japan and it is THE BEST. It is MUCH better quality than the one included in the box of the Xperia S.
I am not referring to the pre-applied anti-shatter sheet, I covered that up like you are supposed to with the screen protector included in the box. After recieving this new one, I just removed that screen protector with a piece of scotch tape and after some cleaning and polishing of the area the old screen protector did not cover I applied the new Sony one from Japan once again over top the anti-shatter sheet and wow what a difference.
To begin with, this screen protector covers EVERYTHING. The one included in the box left a sizeable portion uncovered at the top that looked a bit ugly. This one covers everything and only has a perfectly cut hole for the earpiece speaker and the camera.
I chose the anti-fingerprint model and it really DOES work well. You have a choice of four official Sony screen protectors from Japan.
Crystal clear model:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/OFFICIAL-SON...851041?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19d2627821
Anti-reflective model:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/OFFICIAL-SON...801253?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4605031ea5
Anti-fingerprint model:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360472813244
Privacy model:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/OFFICIAL-SON...802510?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item460503238e
However note that the privacy model doesn't cover the bezel, just the actual display area. If you want the privacy model and you want to protect the entire bezel you should apply it over top of the crystal clear model.

Damn i really wanted this things.
But sadly i dont know how to buy from eBay )
Im in Indonesia.
Thanks

Will wait for another reseller

I'm curious - with the anti finger print model is it a matte finish? Any difference in the screen quality (e.g. brightness, crispness, clarity)?
I've been doing a lot of reading and from what I have read is that the anti - fingerprint ones do degrade the quality of the screen. Would be interested in the one you mentioned and would be willing to spend the coin don't want to end up with something that in my opinion is sub-par.

I would love a matte screenprotector. The protective matte foil that was on the phone when it first arrived (the one you're supposed to peel off almost right away) felt amazing.

Thanks, I searched always for these!

How much i've to spent for this one?

Are there any one have tried to peel off the pre-applied anti-shatte sheet of Xperia SL? Mine is shatted and I want to replace it with a new screen protector.

Why??

Need full tempered glass screen protector

Just looking for any leads for a full screen tempered glass screen protector that actually cover the front. The one I have purchased doesn't cover the edges and glass just extends over curved area about an 1/8 of an inch. Need one which is actually curved on ends and makes contact.

I did, I actually ordered 2 different 3d full screen tempered glass protectors. The are both the same. They only seal on edges of glass and allow dust and dirt in openings for camera and proximity sensor. The center of glass does not fuse with adhesive as other protective glass. Basically it's a glass cover Sq

Not better on XA, only a small adhesive line on the border of the protection, corners are less sensitive to fingers and like you some dust by cam and proximity sensor, just better than nothing... Tried one previou without 2.5D, too small and very ugly for the screen but no dust.

I've decided to leave the screen protection for now and gone with a orzly slim fit case. All the screen protection is either ugly as hell with three small daft holes for the camera, Sony logo and proximity sensor or they don't cover the whole screen and look as much use a chocolate fireguard

Ouch sorry to hear that. Does it at least have oleophobic coating?
I think I'll pass on screen protector just like on my other two phones. Todays 2.5D glas screens doesn't allow for good protectors unfortunately.

Tried like 3 TGP but nothing stays more than a week. So moved to gadgetshieldz thin screen protector. It stays calmly on my XA ultra.

I know this is a year old thread but got the phone last week for only $150 so i figured I'd bump with some info.
Found your post and ordered that film as well. Didn't realize it was shipping from India though so there is a wait. But thanks for the tip.
Bought this film (2 pack) in the meantime which is applied dry and surprisingly didn't bubble at all. Might actually keep it on the phone and keep the one you got as a backup. It doesn't wrap, but is pretty good

Honor 9 Cases, Screen Protectors and other Accessories

Since there is only a thread for the Nillkin cases and tempered glass I thought it would be nice to have some thread for the accessories in general.
Until this day I tried 3 cases, two screen protectors (films) and two tempered glass protectors.
Case No. 1 ) Slim, silicone case http://www.ebay.com/itm/Transparent-Clear-Silicone-Slim-Gel-Case-For-Huawei-Honor-9/112446352466?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 - Very slim and light case made from nice silicone BUT the protection when dropped would be none. It's not made 100% precisely and since it's silicone it doesn't look any good on the back where it creates bubbles. I've ordered this as the first case to have at least some protection. Nice thing is they include free screen protector but the quality isn't very good - doesn't cover the whole display (I'm not talking about edge-to-edge) and there are 2mm gaps on each side and when the display is on it looks terrible. 2/5
Case No. 2) Nillkin Super Frosted http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-HUAWEI-Honor-9-NILLKIN-Super-Frosted-Shield-Hard-Plastic-Back-Covers-Cases-/152596952252?var=&hash=item23877cb4bc:m:mtNLCAV-KRHaAK2TUOYLPTg - very nice case, really sturdy BUT I have few complaints - it's kinda slippery on the sides but this will go away after some use maybe and the bottom side around jack, charging port and speaker is a bit sharp and if you're holding the phone with the little finger on the bottom it't not really comfortable. Besides that it's really nice case for the price but I expected a bit more. But once again for the price it's more than OK. 4/5
Case No. 3) TPU Shockproof case with "carbon" http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxury-Carbon-Fiber-Slim-Shockproof-Soft-TPU-Back-Case-For-Huawei-Honor-9-Magic/112325496837?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=412748326145&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 - as you can imagine, there is absolutely no carbon at all, just some kind of "sticker" or what it is. Nevermind, this case is the best of the three. Really nice case made from TPU, sturdy, should have the best drop protection and fits just perfectly. There is a small "rim" around the screen that should protect the screen from scratches when the phone is "face down". 5/5
Screen protector (film) No. 1) Nillkin Super Clear Protective Film - in terms of size the best screen protector I've had. Obviously it's not edge-to-edge but it does cover the whole display with gaps on the edges BUT the display is fully protected so thumbs up for me. In terms of "anti-fingerprint" it's nowhere close to the display or the back but is much better than some noname protector I've got with TPU case. Overall very nice screen protector for free but I'm still waiting for the Nillkin H+ tempered glass and some noname edge-to-edge tempered glass. 4/5
Tempered glass No. 1) Edge-to-edge blue 2.5D tempered glass http://www.ebay.com/itm/9H-2-5D-Full-Cover-Real-Tempered-Glass-Screen-Protective-Film-For-Huawei-honor-9/152593109357?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=452016649496&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 - really nice tempered glass (2 pcs) for the price. It has the adhesive only on the top, bottom and the sides but the application was very easy and the glass holds on even with any of tested cases. It has some "dots" in the screen area so I got no rainbow effect whatsoever. The blue color is a bit different from the original color od the phone but it's not a problem since you have your phone in a case. Overall for the price pretty good. 4/5
Tempered glass No. 2) Normal tempered glass Caliber (bought in CZE) - not edge-to-edge, doesn't cover the whole screen, gaps on the sides. Overall sh*t. 1/5
Still waiting for the Nillkin H+ tempered glass.

Nilkin Amazing H+ Pro is No Go
Got the 0.2mm H+ Pro. It's cover the display area for like 99%, with-out just about 0.5mm on each side, after all still the best.
BUT. The silicon layer doesn't hold the tempered glass on both sides, looks like the phone display curve started a bit earlier than its needed for the protector.
It doesn't stick to the display, making it looks like ****, with 3mm frame from each side. Top/bottom sides stick OK, all the way to edges.
So Nilkin Amazing H+ Pro is No Go for me.

Well, got it yesterday so I'm still waiting to try it but not sure if wan't to :laugh:

cases
sooooo, I bought these from tvc mall. They were so cheap that I bought three different ones with the intent of disposing of whichever were poor. Thing is, they are all good in their own way. The plain bumper is just very slimline. The rugged looking one is cool as it has a stand in landscape mode, and the wallet is exceptional quality, given the price. All three fit perfectly, but the plain bumper makes the power and volume buttons so much more tactile. The rugged one looks really cheap in silver, perhaps black would have been a good choice. As i wasn't expecting much from the wallet one, I also oredered the nilkin wallet but that hasn't arrived yet.

I have also ordered the ultimate sheild screen protector, which is edge to edge, in black as I think it will make an excellent contrast to the silver rear of the handset....which wont be visible when the (absolutely necessary) bumper is fitted!

Ultimate sheild screen protector
.... And the ultimate sheild protector turned up. It is excellent. A word of caution, unless this is fitted absolutely perfectly, it will render one or both of the capacitance keys inoperable. This happened to me as i fitted the sheild a fraction of a millimetre to the right. I carefully removed and replaced it with more accuracy.
Here is a pic of the black sheild fitted to my silver H9, and a photo of the plain bumper fitted from my previous post. Svelt but rugged!

After a couple of hours of use I can say that there has been no loss of sensitivity on the screen or capacitive buttons, but on darker details and the blacks, it does look like the screen is behind a sheet of glass. You will know what i mean if you have used a screen protector which bonds over its entirety, whereas this one has a mild adhesive at the top and bottom of the protector, where the bezels are. A small price to pay i think to protect my new device. It is mostly noticeable in bright light, not so much in low light. And I love the new black look of the bezels with the silver fingerprint sensor still visible.

Right, so, some more hours on....the ultimate sheild has begun to show its flaws. Towards the middle of the screen there is now what i can only describe as a "woodgrain" effect. This could be caused by tiny amounts of moisture getting between the screen and protector, which I guess there is nothing to stop that happening. They offered a refund for dissatisfaction so I guess I will be chasing that up. Pfffft. So disappointed.....

Is there a smart cover for it ?!

Just bought the TPU Shockproof case and it is amazing! It's a very good quality and it doesn't makes the phone feel like a toy.
I really like it and definitely recommend it!

Can you upload a photo of the phone with the case applied?! That would be awesome

The nilkin "sparkle series" wallet turned up. Its awful. Unlike the cheap wallet I purchased, which remains closed under magnetism, the nilkin just falls open and feels poorer quality.
The Ipaky bumper with the clear perspex back is, however, very nice. The only caveat, it sits flush with the screen so offers no protection if you decide to place your device screen down.

I'm waiting for the smart cover case, if it didn't come fast, I'll go with a skin.

Good luck with that. Did you read my earlier post? As the protector does not actually sit on the screen, due to the adhesive around the edges, it is susceptible to the "rainbow effect" which i think is caused by humidity between screen and protector. It seemed to manifest itself after the phone had been in my pocket and warmed up. I don't have an overly sweaty crotch.....
Anyhow, they apologised and promptly sent a replacement and the same happened again.
By all means give it a go and they will refund you without issue.

Screen protector

Hi,
can someone suggest me a screen protector for xperia 5 II that covers the whole display?
I read a lot of reviews about screen protectors that are smaller than the screen due to the curved edges.
Actually I have a Spigen that covers the whole screen, but I want to try a new one.
Thanks in advance

The one i have covers the full screen but the touch sensitivity at the sides are bad. Looking for recommendations for full screen that does not affect the side sensitivity.

Thanks. I will prefer glass type screen protector still. I have used something similar in the past from phantom skinz.

I'm using the Gorilla IQ Sheild on my Note 10+ which has a curved screen. It's an inexpensive fairly easy wet apply urethane that's very durable. This one has been on for about 8 months... that amazes me. Zero issues.
Unfortunately I don't think one is available yet for your model... I may be wrong.

Make sure you use a case that protects against faceplants and corner hits. I've been using the Zizo Bolt for over a year. No damage in spite of at least 6 drops on concrete.

Hi,
can someone suggest me a screen protector for xperia 5 II that covers the whole display?
I read a lot of reviews about screen protectors that are smaller than the screen due to the curved edges.
Actually I have a Spigen that covers the whole screen, but I want to try a new one.
Thanks in advance

I got the Supershieldz Glass cover through Amazon. I've been using it for four days and it's amazing. I've had to wipe the screen once in four days. I have a camera case, of course, and I can't feel a gap between the case and the cover but if I slip a fingernail in I can find a small gap.

How's the side sensitivity with the screen protector? Still trying to find one that doesn't affect the side sensitivity.

It seems to be working fine. I can swipe to go back to the previous screen.

Hi,
I had recently bought this phone and currently looking for a film protector for the screen. Which one do you suggest?
Thanks in advance.

See my above post. Wet apply is the best way to go. My current one is over 8 months old.
Little wear for the amount of use it's seen.
When I get around to it I'll slam a new one on... at $5 a pop.

I've found it on their website. Though there are 2 variants:
-LIQuid Shield™ Sony Xperia 5 II Screen Protector
-IQ Shield Matte™ Sony Xperia 5 II Screen Protector
Do you use regular one or matte?

I've never used the matte finish.
I have a Note 10+ with the curved screen and it works well. It should be no problem at all with a flat screen. Pay attention to letting it adhere properly at first. I waited about 6 hours but it was hot.

Because for matte they state it's anti-glare and better generally with fingerprint marks (not visible).
Thanks for the help. If the rest have something else, be free to recommend.

You simply wipe it occasionally with a dry microfiber cloth; fingerprints aren't an issue.

I haven't noticed a problem but I normally don't have it turned on.

Good value, seem to do its job.
Covers the flat part of the screen there is a a gap - as expected.
If you do not fit it perfectly, there may be a part that is not glued to the screen.
Quality seem good, maybe a little sharp edges.
I got what I expected, it may not be what you want though.
The fullscreen protectors are hard to fit and come off more easily. Some cases are hard to use with fullscreen protectors too (and I take off the case often).
The protector in combination with a Caseology Vault makes it harder to side sweep and to use side sense. Sensitivity for side sweep should be set to highest. I am not happy with this.
