Hello,the front of the screen is covered by plastic cover which has few air bubbles.
Should I tear that plastic before applying the tempered glass or just put the tempered glass on that plastic which covers the front screen??
Please clarify
Thank you all:good:
Yes, you should remove film which comes with the phone from the box.

Tempered Glass has to be applied directly on the screen, no plastic should be there in between

Is the glass completely scratch ressistant? Is it pure glass or is it groilla glass?
I honestly dont understand why u wpuld remove it? Its like a perfectly fit protector u never bought
Hello Omaro,
Z1 Compact uses Dragontrail glass which is as strong as gorilla glass. The glas does however not come with a oleophobic coating
As an answer to your first question there's no glass which is 100% scratchproof. Minerals can scratch pretty much any types of glass, and by minerals I'm talking about sand, stones etc etc.
The reason why most people wants to remove the preinstalled antishatterfilm is due to that it collects dust, fingerprints and its very easy to scratch. It's not recommended to remove it if you're not planning to apply a oleophobic coating on top of the glass.
Hope my answer cleared any doubts,

The surface of the glass under the plastic film is not as smooth as other phone screens. I think this is because it is not intended to be used without a film above it.
I removed Sonys plastic film and added Orzly Tempered Glass Screen Protector (you can use any other tampered glass protector). nearly perfect for my and much more scratch resistant than with the plastic film.

The reason because it does not feel as smooth is because of that there's no olephobic coating on top of the glass. You need to apply one yourself using a liquid solution, and it'll feel like on any other phone.
thanks guys^
but does this olephobic coating u speak of wear off after time?
EDIT: btw I cant see any anti shatter film on the backside of my phone. Shouldnt there be on there as well?
ty in advance.
btw great phone.

nope. the z1c has a plastic black. no shatter-protection necessary, but causes the flashbleed problem. some people have replaced theirs with the glass back from the z1f, though.
I don't have any screen protector and am very happy with that. No need to put some ugly stuff on the front glass.

My s4 never got scratshes and i didnt use protecotrs. So a glass back would be a neat feature.

That's why many people (including me) replaced their back cover with the one made of glass from the Japanese Z1f:

I've tried a couple of TPU back covers with a silicon type screen protector and the cover ends up peeling off the screen protector at the edges.
However, I've seen someone who's using a full cover curved protector with a rugged hard back cover and they fit together on his S7 Edge's curves, so maybe they can fit on the lesser curved A7 2017.
I ordered AMFILM Curved Tempered Glass screen protector for my Pixel 2 XL but then cracked the bottom part of my glass under the bottom speaker before it arrived, so I have decided to apply a dbrand skin on the front glass to cover it up, question is now:
Should I first apply my tempered glass screen protector and apply the skin on top of that or should apply the skin on front glass directly and maybe use a plastic screen protector fitted to the front display after I apply the skin?
I would prefer the added protection of the tempered glass under the Dbrand skin but I'm not sure if it will stick properly or not, has anyone tried this?

I don't think you would be able to apply the skin first anyways because I'm sure the screen protector would not apply correctly as it will leave a gap between the display and the screen protector as the skin will raise the screen protector from the edges.

That I'm 100% sure of, question is will it work the other way around? Screen protector first then skin?
It worked, I installed the AmFlilm tempered glass screen protector then installed the front glass dbrand skin and its a perfect fit. Pictures attached.
Anybody make a front glass protector that does not cover the sides (my case protects the sides) and works with fingerprint sensor?
Nope
Hello,
i ordered bmy ZF3 a few days ago.
Which screen protector do you recommend?
i am looking for a tempered glass for the front facing display.
Screen protectors are usually crap (or all rate the same in terms of breaking(gorilla glass / tampered is usually a better option but if you really want to keep our screen and phone safe use a very thick padded generic folding cover it'll feel like youre carrying a brick in your pockect but your phone will be safe with 2 floors of fall damage (the indian shops in South Africa) usually have them but making a custom one is best it
**mustn't be too thick to put too much pressure on the screen when cover is closed**
I am currently using the whitestone dome tempered glass on the front. Works well. But seems to attract fingerprints.
I can second Whitestone dome ez protector on front. Finger prints doesn't seem to be a problem for me though
Assume U take off the existing front protector first correct?

To be honest in my perception for foldable devices the temper glasses are worst choice, since they are not flexible as screen protectors so there might be a chance of damaging your display. Its preferable to choose screen protector which is a thin film and works well for foldable

I believe he is just talking about using tempered glass on the front/outer screen. I don't see why that would be an issue. My tempered glass screen protectors for the front screen are arriving today and I can't wait to get the stock one off.
seancannery88 said:
Using temper glass for Foldable devices is a bit risky I feel, there might be a chance of damaging the display while folding with tempers on. So I prefer screen protectors which are thin, flexible and its safer comparing to screen protectors. Also I've been using my S20 Fe with gadgetshieldz screen protectors on it for months and it works well.

Again, as was just stated in reply to your last comment, he's talking about using tempered glass for the OUTSIDE screen, NOT the folding one. There is no tempered glass screen protector for the folding display.

AGAIN, mobile freak said he wanted a tempered glass screen protector for the FRONT FACING SCREEN. Not the inner folding screen.
Seancannery88 just keeps replying that he doesn't recommend a tempered glass screen protector for the folding display.
And tempered glass screen protectors do NOT exist for the folding display. One with ultra thin glass (not tempered glass) does.
