Liquid Sapphire

Removing sony shatter proof glass voids the warranty. It works only on glass it works on camera lens too
I found this campaign a coating that make phone scratch resistant. we can apply it on front and back.. It costs 25 dollars only..Here is what they have to say............
So what is Liquid Sapphire and how does it work ?
Liquid Sapphire is a DIY coating that stops your phone, tablet or any touch screen from getting scratched, ditch your old plastic shield protector and get the full clarity of your screen using liquid sapphire, it’s invisible, contains man-made liquid sapphire which is second only to diamonds in hardness. Liquid Sapphire is a one time Nanotechnology application and does not need to be topped up.
Liquid Sapphire improves the clarity of your screen, the effect is caused by the Sapphires in liquid which will be a technology used in all touch screen devices over the years to come.
Specifications
Works with any touchscreen device and camera lenses.
Scratch resistant & waterproof.
Life Span : Permanent, Cannot be removed .(It can be removed by FELT and commercial polishing or commercial acid, e.g. hydrochloric acid.)
Invisible coating
External Coating : Yes
Internal Coating : No
Shelf Life : 18 months from opening
Non Toxic
Non Hazardous.
Liquid Amour is a lacquer, Liquid Sapphire is a invisible coating that contains Sapphire. Auto Glass coatings will be waterbased and are no where near in the same league, to coat it with Liquid Sapphire would cost more than the glass even at cost !
Sapphire is second to diamonds in the scale of hardness in natural mineral stones.
Transparency and hardness Sapphire is not only highly transparent to wavelengths of light between 150 nm (UV) and 5500 nm (IR) (the human eye can discern wavelengths from about 380 nm to 750 nm[37]), but is also extraordinarily scratch-resistant. Sapphire has a value of 9 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
Hardness Example 10 diamond 9 sapphire 8 beryl 7.5 garnet 6.5-7.5 steel file 7.0 quartz (amethyst, citrine, agate) 6 feldspar (spectrolite) 5.5-6.5 most glass 5 apatite 4 fluorite 3 calcite, a penny 2.5 fingernail 2 gypsum 1 talc

Yup; the issue isn't the glass itself. The top surface of the phone is the shatterproof layer. It's on top of that dragontrail glass and scratches easily (Recombu has show this in one of their youtube vids). Removing this layer after it has been scratched apparently voids warranty.
This is why it is probably best to put a screen protector on the XZ1 as it will protect the shatterproofing layer. I for one will probably try out this liquid stuff as it isn't that much more expensive than a good screen protector (e.g. Krusell) anyway.

I was worried about that too as the FAQ said that it's not meant for plastic, but then I found this Q&A:

Some phones and tablets, e.g. Sony Xperia series, have a pre-installed film over the original glass for glass scattering prevention. Does Liquid Sapphire work with them?

Tried to cancel my amazon order and no go so will use the dynaflow in the meantime at it should offer very good protection over having no screen protector and will keep an eye on this thread to see when this product ships in October.

That's a shame, mate. But it's also a chance for us to hear if this type of product (the paint-it-on kind) works for our Z1!
Personally I'm still undecided about perhaps ordering a simple screen protector until the sapphire stuff arrives.

I have Dynaflow's Liquid Armor on my Z1 at the moment - I did not remove the shatterproof film and it seems to have worked a treat.
Still thats not stopping me ordering some Liquid Sapphire too

Not that I have come across - proximity sensor works fine when I take calls and the phone is around my face.
I did the full 24 hour dry before I touched it again - front and back coated.
Interesting thing to see will be when I get some of this liquid sapphire, if it plays well with the liquid armor coating which will be only about half a month old by then I imagine.

That's the bit I am interested in and also my plan is to use standard screen protectors in the meantime, refuse/cancel the order from amazon for the dynaflow and wait for the sapphire to arrive and use that instead.
Guess there is no harm in mixing and matching as you are just adding another layer of protection.
*Edit* My point above... knowing me I will end up using the dynaflow anyway but will try and resist the temptation!

Got the screen protectors and the dynaflow this morning so left the dynaflow alone....
Put on the screen protector very slowly and got it on perfect not wonky or anything and after noticed one spec of dust right in the middle of the screen arghhh ripped it off and threw it in the bin.
Opened the dynaflow package and put it on right away and now need to wait 24 hours before I can buff out the screen so will leave my phone turned off until tomorrow which is going to be very difficult.
Thankfully I can use my trust Nexus 7 to get me through these hard times lol
Still going to keep the liquid sapphire when that comes and will apply that to give it some extra strength.

1 Month after release, are there any viable tempered glass screen protectors?

I've had the phone since the 20th April and we just surpassed the 1 month mark after official release. I have used a wet application plastic film screen protector since the first 5 minutes and now want to get the screen protected.
Has there been a viable full coverage screen protector released that doesn't cost stupid amounts?

Whitestone Dome, if you are willing to take the time to install correctly, is the best TGSP on the market. It's not even close.

$45 is not that much money. You spent $800 on the phone ><

I also recommend Whitestone Dome. The clarity and feeling is superb. Keep it mind you need to test the case carefully because once it lifts the screen, bubbles will appear (and that drives me crazy). The price tag is high but, seriously, it's well worth it. Cheaper than replacing the screen

I have insurance in my device that is about 65 USD (£50 GBP) hence my reluctance to spend on a screen protector when I could get a new device for little more, and then not able to keep the protector anyway

Whitestone Dome is junk.
I do not recommend Whitestone Dome after one week it was junk save your money.

are you sure the screen is not lifted by the case (if you're using one?)? cause mine has been going on well for a few weeks. everything is still cool.

Yes I installed it right work for a week.

I installed the Whitestone dome glass over a week ago and it's still perfect, I have purchased a lot of screen protectors for curved glass and this is the only one that has been satisfactory

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one boss. I've had this thing for right at a month and no dust, lifting, bubbles or other issues at all. Sounds like you may have had a poor installation.

It sounds like he may not had enough adhesive, which I have read reviews where people's adhesive has leaked out during shipping or they didn't level the device and it didn't spread properly, mine is very secured and I have even pried on it lightly to see if it would lift

for one thing, before the installation, you can check the level of the surface using Bubble Level app to make sure when you drop the glue, it will stay in the center. Also notes that when lowering the glass, let it touch the liquid first and then quickly pull out the tab to reduce the possibility of it splashes (which makes bubbles later - i did this on my first installation and the liquid took a lot longer than it should to cover the whole thing).

Check out the zagg sapphire shield. It has adhesive all over instead of just the edges.

Whitestone Dome Glass Screen Protector *The BEST*

You're struggles are over! I have been looking for the best screen protector for edge devices and I had to tell everyone. No more touch sensitivity issues, no pressing harder, no more bouncing screen, and no more popping off screen protectors. The Whitestone Dome Glass Screen protector is the best! I made an install tutorial because the worst part is installing it. It's complicated, but watch my video for tips and tricks and you will be an expert in no time:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaNK59tMsBQ
Warning: As seen in the video at the 10:26 mark it is very important as a beginner that you make sure the surface is level (Use a physical bubble level and have business cards nearby) and leave the alignment bars (Plastic L Shapes) on during the curing process with the UV light, otherwise the screen protector may slide off of the phone. I was doing this for a friend at his house with the table he had, therefor as you saw at the 10:26 mark it began to slide away. Me doing so many installations I was use to this sort of thing happening, and quickly corrected the issue. I find the alignment bars to get in my way when moving the screen to the most case friendly position. However when I started out I did use these alignment bars, think of them as training wheels. Just be sure when you manually align the screen protector that the alignment bars are not lifting out of their 3 bumps and that they are not lifting your screen. Make sure your surface is level otherwise the adhesive could pour over the edges of the phone. Business cards help immensely, along with not working on installation in the middle of a 2 piece table.
Review
Before I continue please keep the "It's too expensive" posts out of here. Other glass screen protectors, Otterbox, Zagg, ect are the same price. You are paying $45 to protect a $800+ phone. Insurance is a $200 deductible. So it's not expensive compared to paying a deductible. You also get an added bonus... The UV light can be used by women or given to women as a gift to dry their nails. Oh you're a guy and have no use for it? Ever had a car windshield chip?
You can get a repair kit and use the UV light to dry the resin, ever paint? UV light to dry the paint, UV light to dry glue, UV light to tan your wedding ring finger... Just kidding don't do that last one. Anyway now that I got that out of the way I came from a S7 Edge and my struggles to find the perfect screen protector were very difficult. I am extremely OCD with my phones and worried so much about cracking the screen. I used the Otterbox Defender after trying screen protector, after screen protector, and after getting frustrated with the touch screen sensitivity issues with the Otterbox Defender due to the built in plastic screen protector and dealing with dirt and easy scratches, I went back to my Note 4. Then the S8 came out and I again attempted to go to an edge phone, and after purchasing the Whitestone screen protector I will say it's made the phone feel just like I never had a screen protector at all. I no longer have a screen protector that for some silly reason only had glue around the edges which made the protector springy/bouncy on every touch. Not to mention that most times the protector would pop off due to lack of glue. This isn't a problem with the Whitestone due to the fully adhesive protector. There's no touch screen sensitivity issues and it feels like I am touching a naked screen. Plus my edge features actually work.
Q&A
Q: What cases work with it?
A: Otterbox Symmetry and Commuter, defenders do not work. I haven't had any other case tests, I am about to purchase the Mophie battery case and test it out. If you have any cases that work well, please let me know so I can get a compatibility list going
Confirmed List
Commuter

UAG
https://youtu.be/sScL3ZyGTgI
Q: Can I put a case on after installation?
A: No you need to wait 24 hours for curing.
Q: Can I use the phone after installation?
A: You will need to wait 1 hour.
Q: How long should I set aside time for install?
A: If you have never done it be prepared for around 1 hour plus the 1 hour wait after before you can use your phone
Q: Do you know if there is a warranty on the product?
A: I'm not sure, I couldn't find anywhere on there for warranty info. I know I received a cracked one and ended up having to purchase another one, file a claim on Amazon, and send the cracked one back.
Here's a review of the Mophie case with the Whitestone:

I'm also using the whitestone dome.
I highly recommend it.
It won't take an hour to install it, but DO take your time.
Also, when it's installed and cured, when you use the LAST alcohol wipe, scrub the side of the phone too! I had a little leakage and it's oily and nasty.

Yea I covered that in the video as well. It smells really strong so I would def use the wipe on the entire phone.

I'm also using the Whitestone. It's seriously the best solution. It's like $45, but that's the only screen protector you will need to buy. I've wasted more than $45 trying out different, crappier screen protectors. Should have just gone with Whitestone to start with.

Hello TheGame7, this is Whitestone.
Thank you so much for taking interest in our product and making such detailed instructional video for installing the Dome glass! Your video was exceptional, the tips and tricks you covered were very clear and precise. We were pleasantly surprised. As you mentioned in the video, we have made modifications to our installing procedure and the tools as well since the initial launch. The only thing we would like to point out is that you should NOT remove the align bars (the plastic things) before curing the adhesive. Experienced people such as yourself will have no problem manually aligning the glass, but some people may panic or completely butcher the installation if they see the glass slipping away. Also, if the glass moves towards the speaker, the adhesive may flow into the speaker or buttons (if applicable). It will not damage or break the device, but it could result in discomfort while using the device.
If you have any questions or feedback that you would like to give us please do so!
Thank you

Wow I can say I am pleasantly surprised. I didn't think that I would catch the attention of Whitestone themselves. Absolutely brilliant idea with the screen protector I must say! I really appreciate the positive feedback and will make note of your feedback in the topic and video! I do typically remove the alignment bars pre-cure as they get in my way for aligning below the camera. They tend to lift up and sometimes lift the screen protector up while I adjust towards the edge of the camera. My video is the perfect example of making sure you have a level surface and I will make a note in the video and in this topic that newer purchasers of Whitestone will want to have a physical bubble level nearby to complete the task or potentially have level issues as shown in the video or to be sure and keep the alignment bars installed and make sure to keep an eye on the edges for any possible lifting.

took me only 10 minutes to install and have been using for 2 weeks now. no problems at all. This is the best tempered glass protector out there

Thanks for the tips and video !

Hello all,
I order this screen protect after watching the video (thank you for the great video). I would have to say this is one of the best screen protectors that I have personal used.
After installing the screen protector and admiring the sexynes i decided to purchase a clear case from Spigen Ultra Hybrid - Crystal . After one day of use I notice that the screen had lifted on the bottom left ??? and now I have a line of air bubbles.
Does anyone have any suggestion on a clear case to use with this screen protector. I thought the video suggested this one to work but probably I did something wrong.
Any suggestions on what clear case to use (please no thin clear case)
Or how can I fix the air bubbles....

How do I go about buying only the glass?

I've had a whitestone on my phone for about 2 months now. Probably the best glass protector for curved screens. I hope they expand to more brands and models that have curved displays since it's the only one that works properly.

Hello monkey39, this is Whitestone.
There should be no glue left behind when removing the screen protector.
But if there are some residue, it can easily be removed with alcohol swab.

Dont get a glass protector, they dont hold proprely, even the ones that get glued to the screen with uv glue.
Get the official samsung plastic protector, you get two for 12 bucks and they are pretty decent.

I'm using Spigen Tempered GLAStR and the Incipio Dualpro case - No issues with either - Spigen stays on and no issues with dust getting underneath (some have reported all kinds of issues with adhesion and dust) - But I suspect that they didn't prepare the surface properly before installing the screen protector... And it fits perfectly with the Dualpro.

Okay i ordered this one i hope i install it properly lol

Just be patient. I find bathroom after shower us the best place to apply the screen protector. Dust particles are settled after shower. After you apply the front of the screen, wait about 10 minutes then start working on the sides. Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer at a low heat setting. Good luck.

One more thing, unlike other protectors, this one has a total of three 'layers'
1.peel off #1, discard the layer with#2 sticker (Make sure you are discarding the frosted layer and not the clear one with glue side. I noticed that Sticker numbers are not consistent).
2. Spray on the glue side, place on the phone, work out bubbles, no worries about attaching the sides as they wont attach
3. Wait 5-10 minutes. Now carefully, hold#1 sticker and peel off the top layer. . A thin transparent layer will remain attached to phone. Now atrach the sides.
4.Let the phone sit overnight, you will have crystal clear screen protector in the morning.
Hope this helps.

Yes, it does take about 24-48 hours to clear up the bubbles and rainbow effect. Was there any reason that you could not squeeze out the bubbles during installation? Just curious. I normally add a drop of soap in the spray bottle and spray on the protector and the phone screen (just a mist). You get more control in adjusting the and squeezing the bubbles out.
I am glad you got it installed and it should be all good in a day or so. Take care.

Dome glass epic fail.

Just sharing my epic fail trying to reinstall my dome glass because i spotted a small bubble form near the camera. I should have just lived with it. So embarrassing and shameful. Now i have to wait for a warranty replacement. I hope i don't scratch my naked glass while i wait.

Ah that sucks. This is the reason I'm going to buy a pack of Ringke Dual Easy Film. That way I can throw one of those on if I need to get a warranty replacement for my Whitestone Dome. $8 is cheap insurance against scratches.
I just installed my Whitestone Dome tonight. I think the only thing I did wrong was I missed some of the excess at the very top edge. I just noticed it after I did the final cure.
This was my first time installing a Whitestone Dome. So I didn't want to wipe it too aggressively after that initial 15 second cure.
So funny story...you know the guide that has the faint circle for a target? I thought my table was level. I tested it and made sure. Matter of fact, when I poured the LOCA on the screen it didn't move at all.
I lined up the guide, made sure it was set just perfect. Well, I was looking at the guide, making sure everything was lined up before I pressed down on the bottom to move the LOCA down. Well apparently I either pushed it down slightly with the guide, or the guide was JUST heavy enough to tip the tray. Because my LOCA was moving before I was ready.
Luckily I saw it just as it filled that target circle, so I quickly snatched the top tab out and dropped the glass down. I was so worried that I had ruined that glass, and like you have to wait on a warranty replacement. Luckily it worked out just perfect. I finally see why everyone races about these screen protectors.

I've done this on my Note 9 before..

That caught me out on my note 9 the glue starts moving way quicker than you think, I was obviously a lot more careful on the 10, but it's not something you know till you do it.

Yeah it was funny. I didn't even tip the bottom half of the tray. I guess the guide was just heavy enough to slightly tip it and move the LOCA.

That sucks. I still remember using the Dome glass when it was first released and they did not have the speaker cover. I got glue in the speaker and the sound was muffled. Lucky I had to do a phone replacement on this.
I usually order the Ringke protector for this reason as a backup. Amazon probably has the fastest delivery on these. Good luck and dont break or scratch your screen.

I've removed a cured protector intact and soaked it in a solution to soften the glue. Wiped it down and reapplied.

Yea it sucks. I already have a micro scratch that i can see off of the light reflecting on the glass. I've only had it in my pocket and on the charger. I just threw another protector on it until my replacement glass comes in. I hope the adhesive covers and fill in that micro scratch so i won't be able to see it. If not I'll have sprint replace the glass but then i don't want to mess up the water resistance. Decisions decisions.

If it's a micro scratch it should cover it just fine. It would have to be a really bad scratch to show through the LOCA and screen protector.

Those bozos sent me a repackaged dome. It was for an Apple screen protector in a Note 10+ box. Really?
Completely useless. They didn't even say sorry... to hell with them.
IQ Sheild works very well and unlike the fun dome it's fairly easy to install. Not glass but self healing and lasts at least 3 months if properly applied.
It's a wet apply (you got wiggle room to get it centered) and getting on right isn't very hard unlike many others.
2 to a box, only needed one; perfect day.
Mine is 3 months old and still looks great. No bubbles or raised corners even with the tight fitting Bolt case.
