Z1 is larger than Xperia Z so the protector will not cover the whole screen

Yes as the bezel around the z1 is longer. So you will have a gap either on the top or bottom

Yea i bought the Z front + back like a fool, i would have sworn i was looking at the right one, but i cut the warranty seal as soon as i got it xD.
I ordered the one for the Z1 and im about to put it on, looks awesome. i still want one for the back though, the glass just feels much better then urethane, although the urethane has a more rugged feel for the back, as it flexes and does not shatter.

They are nicer for the grip but don't look nearly as good. But they don't add thickness. I just got my glass protector for the back and want to see if it will fit in my dock with the glass-m on the front and this generic one on the back.

After removing sony's screen protector, how do I clean the glass and remove any glue left?
Is it safe to remove it and keep the glass exposed while I wait for the new protector?

I would wait till you get it. My glass m took about 2 weeks (or felt like it) to come. I read some one washed it with soapy water. But I left it on. Glass m comes with a wipe cloth and pre sticker for dust. I done mine in bathroom when it was steamy

my protector is already scratched, so I am gonna remove it...
What I heard ina nice video, once you peel it off, is not to use any cotton cloth, as it may stick on the glue, but to use instead a micro-fiber + spary glass cleaner

Yep and you might want to dip your fingers in a liquid soap and water so you can touch the back without leaving fingerprints. Also if you get soap water between the phone and protector it will let you position the glass before you press it down.
I like how i don't need to turn off the phone at any point lolz.

Sorry but I do not get what you mean...
What's the problem with fingerprints at the bac? i am not changing the film at the back.
Do i need to wet the glass before positioning the new film?
What do you mean with your last sentence?

i purchased 2 tempered glass screen protector so far, all chipped off after few days of using it. super fragile and chip off when slight drop or bump.

Do yourself a favor and get the Spigen glass protector. Their products are wonderful and high quality, albeit a little more expensive.

I heard people having issues with Spigen applying properly so I went and ordered a Glass-M last night. I'm hoping MIME releases their Ghost GLass for the Z1 soon. I emailed them and this is what I got back:

I've used Spigen a couple times on my GS4 with no application issues. Why a couple times? Dropping from 6ft up or more on to cleverly placed rocks and corners of raised floor plates hitting the glass just right after several months of great protection. You literally clean the phone off, make sure there's no dust and slap it on.

Little bit off topic, but i wondered if these glass screen protectors designed for the z1 would fit on the z1s from t-mobile? z1s supposedly a little longer but i am not sure if it's the bezel or sides

Doubtful. The placement of the FFC and proximity/light sensors are swapped between models so the hole for the sensors are on the opposite side that they need to be on for the Z1s.

[Q] HTC Double Dip Hard Shell Case - Screen Protector Compatibility

hi guys.
I have been looking around and trying different cases, however i always end up looking at the official Double Dip htc Hard case, as it looks to be the best one .
Just wondering about the case, asking the people who have used it. I always use Xtremeguard/Invisibleshield wet application screen protectors on my htc One. i wanted to know if the case is compatible with screen protectors? because i have come to experience some cases making the protector peel off.
any responses will be appreciated.

Some screen protectors work, some don't.
From my experience, skinomi and just a generic matte screen protector did not work with the case, but I'm using a gadget shieldz now and it works
absolutely right
bought this cover 2 days ago, unfortunately top (red) part of cover - when applied will peel off screen cover
this because gap for front camera eye, actually bottom side of this hole.
screen protector - nothing special - something from phones4u for 8 pounds
any idea?

I'd say get a "wet" screen protector as they can bend into shape. That's what mine has done, instead of peeling off because of the front camera it molded itself around it. Hope that makes sense

Yeah the screen protectors that need to be wet or have the screen wet before being applied
They're also easier to apply because you can take them off again and re-apply. The only ones I know of are gadget shieldz or skinomi
Has anyone tried putting on the HTC Double Dip case with a Ghost Armor screen protector?

I'd wait for about a day for it to settle and everything. Apply the screen protector before you sleep and then put the case on when you wake up.
Are wet application type screen protectors the only ones that are compatible with the Double Dip case?
I would feel more comfortable knowing that the screen is protected but I am not a fan of the grippy texture that Zagg usually has. But if it's the only one that works then beggars can't really be choosers.
Edit: Decided to go with the Zagg Invisible Shield. It actually isn't as bad as it used to be. I'm really satisfied with my purchase.

I'll get this screen protector for my new xiaomi mi3, so thank for your review, you helped me to made my choice
This looks amazing!
I found one on eBay for 12€.. I might buy it.
Is there any downside from using this screen protector?
Thanks a lot.

Thank you for your amazing review!
No real downside other than you really have to do your best to apply it perfectly the first time. Very difficult to remove and reapply without getting it dirty.
Love how it feels, so smooth. I wish I got it sooner, before the Sony screen protector started getting scratches. Never using a film protector ever again.
My C6906 came with a nilkin glass screen protector when I bought it off of swappa, and using the way I typically apply screen protectors, using tape like a hinge to perfectly position the protector with, application took less than a minute. My only complaint is that the glass is not oleophobic, or at least isn't as oleophobic as I would like, although it doesn't get fingerprints all that easily, and a few wipes on your jeans should take care of it just fine.
i bought this screen protector for CNY 58 (about USD 9.5). Much better than any PET films I have seen.

Only downside is that come with with a PET back protector and I found the anti-fingerprint coating wore off faster than most, it's also is a bit small and doesn't cover the whole front wish it was more precise fitting.
If you apply this screen protector the Z1 will do not fit on your dock DK31.

It's recommended to do not remove the anti-shatter Sony protector so you can apply this Nillkin on it.

Either way. It's up to you to remove the shatter film or put the t-glass on top of it

I have this Nillkin SP and it's the best SP I ever had, on all devices.
Perfectly slik and ultra durable...
I have it few months and not a one scratch.
But...
I bought front and back and I'm kinda disappointed because only front is real tempered glass, back one is just a plain SP...
It would be awesome to have back tempered glass as well.
And yeah...I applied it on top of Sony SP (had few little scratches on it) and it's perfect - can't see a single old scratch...

I have been using Nillkin for a while now and have never experiences such problem. My first protector cracked after I dropped the phone face down on my desk. Now I am on my second one and it functions properly. Maybe you didn't align yours properly or you had a faulty unit.

[Screen Protector] SPIGEN GLAStR Nano Slim Tempered Glass

Hi guys,
I just installed the Spigen GLAStR Nano Slim Tempered Glass Protector. I bought it off Amazon and it came pretty quick despite the holidays. I've attached pictures of the glass on my Nexus 5. Sorry I didn't get pictures of the installation process. I didn't want to risk getting dust underneath, so I had to do it quick.
I used the "Hinge Method" to put the screen on. And as you can see I got slight bubbles at the bottom (circled in red), so the installation wasn't perfect. I also have 1 tiny micro bubble in the middle...it's hardly noticeable even with the screen off/on and is probably less than .5mm in diameter. I would still suggest using this method for any screen protector installation.
After about 30 minutes, I used a micofiber cloth-covered squeegee to push out those bubbles that were circled...and they're gone! I just have that tiny ass one in the middle.
Overall it feels great, and its definitely smooth with the oleophobic coating...I haven't put my Cruzerlite case on yet, gonna give it some time for the glass' adhesive to settle in. I will comment on that soon!
Any questions? Feel free to hit me up!
Best,
K

Tempered Glass w/ Cruzerlite Case On
Hi all,
Just an update here. I let the glass sit overnight and all the bubbles were gone..even that micro bubble in the middle of the screen. This morning, I slapped on my Cruzerlite TPU case, to see if there was any peeling of the glass, or any fit issues.
Initially, it seemed everything was fine. However, after I got to work, I noticed that in the left bottom corner, the case began to push the glass up a little, especially if I pushed on that edge. As such, I decided to remove the case to prevent any more issues.
Spigen's GLAStR screen protector seems like a good one, but I think if they increased the edges 1mm in each direction, the Cruzerlite case would sit on top and sort of seal the glass rather than hit edge-to-edge like in this case, causing the glass to begin peeling. I've attached pictures to show what it looks like with the case on.
Let me know if you have any questions!
K
Thanks for the review. I got one as a replacement from the previous defective ones.
As I have not applied mine yet, can you describe what is the "Hinge" method?
Cheers

Sure. The Hinge method is where you take the screen protector and tape it to the phone BEFORE you peel the protective film away.
1) Align the screen protector to exactly where you want it
2) Tape one side of the protector so that you can swing it open like a door (tape in two places..I put a piece near the power button and one a little further down
3) Open up the "door" that you just made and clean your naked screen so there is no lint, dust, hair etc.
5) Make sure the protector aligns just as you want it
4) Then peel the "backside" of the film off so that the adhesive side is exposed and "close the door" so the protector is on the phone
5) Immediately take a squeege and cover it in a micofiber cloth and push out any bubbles you may have
6) Peel away the front of the screen protector
7) Using the squeegee that's inside the cloth (VERY IMPORTANT so you don't scratch the glass), push out any remaining bubbles
8) DONE! ENJOY!
Here's an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt9_fZDT-As

Nice review and a +1 for the hinge method. Only way to install a 'dry' screen protector for me!
Just received mine today. Install went great except I noticed an air bubble on the left side about halfway down, right on the edge. Well, when I took a closer look, it was actually a chip in the glass.
Contacted Spigen Support and I am waiting for a response. Hopefully they can help me out.

I didn't go for the hinge method. But I have used it in the past and it works pretty well.
The chip is pretty small so its not interfering with anything on the screen, as long as it doesn't get worse.

my son likes to hide my phone, last night he hid my phone under my recliner (which hits the floor when rocking) and as i was rocking away i heard CRACK / CRUNCH....looked under the chair to find my phone with two very prominent pressure cracks on the screen...
i thought NO WAY was this ONLY the Nano.TR....as i pulled up the corners, the glasses started breaking and falling apart, but low and behold, not a single scratch or dent on my phones screen!
Completely blown away that my phone's screen didn't crack under the pressure.....sold on them forever!

So because of the chip in the edge of the protector it ended up just cracking across the screen.
I can't feel the crack but you can see it.

It's the first time I try a glass screen protector, this one is very wonderful. There is only a micro-chip somewhere, but I can't see it in normal conditions, I have to examine my screen closely for like one minute to spot it.
Putting it on the screen was very easy, much easier than plastic screen protectors.
It fits nicely with official Google bumper case.
Without a case?
Hey guys, I personally want to buy this Spigen protector (.tr version) because I hate cases on my mobile phone. I'm not going to waste €36 (yes, its the Netherlands) if I also have to apply a case on it. So is this screenprotector drop-proof? If I drop this phone from 1 meter from the surface, would it be able to save the ORIGINAL glass?
Thanks,

What do you mean by "over time", considering my usage, I have only dropped my old phone (SGS+) once in the two years of intensive usage. As SGS+ is a smart strong boy, it doesn't break, not even a scratch. Would the Glas.tR, 0.4 mm, survive a 1 meter downfall? Thanks in advance yo

It depends on how it falls obviously, but I'd say chances are pretty good that the glass screen protector would be cracked or chipped after a fall, especially onto a hard surface like concrete. I have the GLAS.t on my N5 and like you I prefer no case and am very careful with my phone. But even just casual daily use, the screen protector has chipped, and it's been the case with several others too (spanning a variety of different brands as well).
So I would proceed with caution and really consider if it's worth sinking the money into. That being said, if the screen protector chips or cracks after a fall, it's taking damage that would otherwise be applied to your phone, which is its purpose to begin with.

There's no reason to expect any screen protector would save a phone from a drop. Screen protectors are meant for preventing the glass from being scratched. If the drop is sufficient to damage the screen, I strongly feel it would damage the screen through a 0.4mm sheet of glass overlaying your screen.
Cases, however, are what you use to protect phones from drops.

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.

Can you tell if the screen gets easily scratched withthout the protector like previous sony models? Or is it more like the Samsung s7 and note glass that doesn't need a protector?

Sony Xperia XA Ultra Screen Protector, G-Color Tempered Glass Scr... http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01G5F6WK0/ref=cm_sw_r_other_udp_apa_92VSxb48EQ4YE
Sent from my Xperia XA using XDA Labs
I have that one and it is exactly how I stated in my first post it's just a flat piece of glass that would fit perfectly if our screens were completely flat from edge to edge.

That was just the first I came across it wasn't the only one, surely the same companies that make the proper fitting xa one's that have the internal curve underneath to fit perfectly will do xa ultra ones

Have you recieved it yet?
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.

Same thing here, better than nothing. Unfortunately some debris got under protector through opening on proximity sensor and scratched my screen.

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

Just in case anyone else stumbles on this page after buying the phone.

Screen Protectors Hunt Again

Hi guys so the screen protector hunt starts again ive been looking on amazon uk and some of them seem to be a full adhesive fit does anyone know if the xz2 has flat glass near the main display or is it 2.5D like most models
hear is one ive been looking at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Protector-...6&sr=8-7&keywords=xperia+xz2+screen+protector
On the same hunt, the glass is definitely 2.5D. I wouldn't expect any full adhesive glass protectors to work without massive halo's.

1 hour ago i've seen the brotect airglass, how are this screen protector?
Edit: finally today it's arrived brotect airglass, first time i've buyed and it's arrived a back screen protector for s9+ in xz2 package (???), contact the support and they send me a new for free and it's arrived today...no halo, great brightness and very good oleophobic treatment
i think they all seems to be lying on us... they advertise it as a 3D or full cover edge to edge but when you get your hands on it you realize it only protects the LCD, like flat protector...
well, i like this by IMAK... it's a 3D and full edge to edge film rather than tempered glass... what i don't like about it is not glossy, but rather anti-glare which i hate.
check the link below if anyone is interested in buying it
https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Sony-X...var=552691546263&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649
I bought this one, fits edge to edge very well.

Does plastic screen protector protects your phone from falls and prevents shattering like the glass ones?
I bought this one but was rubbish bad rainbow affect and started coming off withing a week https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07BHLGSBT/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_5VY8Ab1MD67AR

It prevents glass breaking by 30%.
Or was it 70%?
But it definitely strengths the glass structure.

I prefer a thick glass screen protector.
It will easily avoid bubbles and is way stronger.

I recommend this:
https://www.gadgetshieldz.com/sony-xperia-xz2-screen-protectors-cases-covers-skins.html
Fits perfectly and the smoothness is like glass!
Dont buy this particular type of glass on aliexpress (this is my first bad buy here, others that i ordered for diferent models were worth it) it seems to be problem with this one... i have bad connection in middle of screen 3 cm vertikal (no air bubble, just pad materials on protective glass
