I only need the front panel, the plastic that covers the OLED display. I accidentally spilled alcohol on mime and it ruined the the original one: cloudy stain on the screen seems to be permanent, and the black paint on the borders is screwed, too, the alcohol burned through the paint.
Hope you guys can help me, I'd pay for your device but please don't be pricey, too.

Good morning!
After discussions over a week, the european users are not sure if the back side is really glas. Also, if there is a splatter protection foil over it.
Is here any user who tried to put off the backside foil?

"The phone has metallic sides, a polished polycarbonate back and Gorilla Glass front." - V3
According to Sony Z1 Compact White Paper http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/d5503/whitepaper_EN_d5503_xperia_z1_compact_1.pdf Page 3 quoted "Both the front and back are made of durable tempered glass, reflecting the world around you while allowing you to get so immersed in content that the hardware virtually disappears"
Looks like there are some confusion here and Sony will be in big trouble. No one sure the front is Dragontail or Gorilla glass too.
Sorry but changing a whitepaper after release? Sony, what's up?

Dunno about plastic back, but the piece about front glass is wrong - Sony does NOT use Gorilla glass in it's products, it uses Dragontrail glass.
AFAIK the back and front are made out of glass and are covered by a protective foil, just like the Z1.

Proof pls? Heard much about glass and ASF both side but no proof yet.
Actually it's official. Back cover IS plastic.
From the new whitepaper (http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/documentation/whitepapers/Xperia_Z1_Compact_D5503_WP1.pdf):

You do understand, that if the back was made from glass, then there would be no point to editing the whitepaper in such a way? Of course, we can pretend, that is made from glass even when it's not, till there is an explicit statement... But, hey, this whitepaper is the closest thing we can get to Sony's acknowledgement of their mistake in the misleading device description -_-
Exactly this is what I wanted to let you know by starting this thread...

You mean the protection foil out of the box like the one in front? Or is there also an additional foil on the back?

I hope there is a film to peel off the back, because mine somehow got scuffed and it's been in a case since day one.

It`s plastic, I removed that protection foil from the first day, I can`t stand the idea of it. Anyhow it`s a good plastic, resistant to daily shocks, since I managed to drop it to the ground

Do you mind share how you removed the back plastic protector?
I can not seems to find where it is joined to the body at corners.
Also have few deep marks on 10 days old Compact, though normal use. My Z1 back still looks new after 6 months with same usage.

So this premium Sony phone, going for approx. £400 after VAT, has a plastic back. Might as well be designed by Samsung!
BTW I actually ordered this phone; expecting delivery sometime next week.
I think plastic back is better than glass. Aluminum should be more fancy but glass, I think it's a not so good idea. Just my personal opinion

Can someone please post this in it's own detailed thread along with the relevant evidence on the official Sony Xperia Z1 Compact forum so we can get an official response on why it changed? http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1-Compact/bd-p/Xperia_Z1_Compact?sl=y&sso_no_log=y
Well, I went ahead and made a thread about this on the official forum http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...f-plastic-and-not-glass-as/m-p/549831#U549831
I must say Im very annoyed to find out its not glass... and the sneaky way in which Sony amended the whitepaper is pretty low. Does it really affect how I view this phone? Well, I still love it... but it's certainly not good in principle, and has somewhat marred my opinion of the quality.
I know there are already a few threads about this but I wanted to re-post, but I'm primary looking for a glass screen protector with camera cut out, I've searched around a bit and can't seem to find one, anyone have any recommendations?
I have a glas screen protector but with covered camera. Does not make any difference!

I would like to protect the backside of my G6 to avoid cracking and scratches without putting it in a case where it's beauty will be hidden behind some plastic.
Does someone know if there is a Tempered Glass for the Backside?
Why not using a skin for the backside? There are no glass protectors for the back available atm.

With the curvature of the back it will be unlikely that any will ever hit the market.

There is one on the market http://m.voiamall.co.kr/goods/view?no=504 But it's plastic/polyurethane not tempered glass.

This seems to be good alternative, covers back and front, 7H, I did use products of this company first on my Lumia 950XL, then Moto X Force, since there was always problem with 9h glass, I get always 7H, fit perfect in, they send into Germany as well, PayPal. Screen protectors are high quality, fits perfect on phone. One disadvantage is, that shop is available only in Polsih

For your other phones did you have the equivalent front+back set? That looks pretty cool but while it is not clearly specified, I'm guessing only the front screen protector is glass. In their article on 'glass or film' : "If the counts for us full protection of your phone to choose FlexibleGlass 3D - set consisting of unbreakable glass and hybrid film made in housing technology Full-Form ™. " Not sure what exactly "hybrid film" is there and they talk about "hybrid glass" too. But a decent plastic skin for the back that wraps around the sides like that might still be nice.
I'm sure, that back is 7h hybrid, so it is stronger film, not glass. They explain, that it is not possible to make 9h for a back, from other side it is logic.
As the title says guys. I am sad and frustrated. I know a perfect glass screen protector does not exist. So after spending tons of money in different film protector I am starting to believe, this doesn't exist either. Each and every film protector has a graininess, a matte look which becomes very obvious in white background. And this is something I absolutely hate. I spent my hard earned money on this phone. And my selling point was the gorgeous display. But it seems I either have to go for protection or display quality. Help me out guys. Tell me that a film protector with absolute clarity, devoid of the disgusting graininess exist. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Following, I am in the same boat
Have you tried Whitestone Dome Glass yet? That's the absolute thing. There are only 4 shortcomings so far (1. dust magnet at the edge (not the screen area, just the edge of the glass protector itself) 2. if you try to clean the sticky dust at the edge, you end up shaving out the glue 3. Very expensive 4. Takes too many steps to apply).
After wasting money with the crappy Zagg Glass ...I tried OTAO and I am super happy with it. For 10 bucks u could do much worse....it hasn't come off yet and makes a full seal so dirt doesn't get in. It also doesnt have any clicking sound issues....nor the rainbow effect.

I second that! it is the best!
I bought the Ounier Full Coverage Bubble-Free Screen Protector as it was one of the first brands to come up when searching for screen protectors for Samsung Galaxy S9. My phone is fairly new and I needed to have it fully protected first before I include it in my busy daily routine. I’m the kind of person who chooses convenience over price, but as this product was recommended by a friend (for his S8), I gave it a chance. Besides, It’s really great that the pack has 2 screen protectors; the easier to change, the better. I’ve also had bad experiences with other screen protectors for my old phones as they sometimes hinder with some of the phone’s features, like the double tap, the sensors, etc. Since my friend can’t recall any troubles at all with this protector, this eased my mind a bit with what it had to offer.
