I hate screen protectors. They look ugly & wash out screens.
I've never installed one on any device.
My Xperia Play had an anti shatter proof layer (ASPL) installed out of the box which was also too washy & got removed.
However.
I'm ok with the ASPL on the Z. I was going to remove it if it washed out the screen but it's quite livable with.
Only problem is, the layer itself is a scratch magnet.
I've never scratched up any of my naked screens too bad my the ASPL on my Z has received a couple of minor scratches after only a couple of days.
A Google search hasn't shown up any replacement ASPL's for the Z.
Do you think SONY will release them for after sales?

Mine has come with a spare ASPL in the box for both front and rear - didn't yours?

I too hate screencovers but i bought my XZ outright so its too expensive to get damaged. I even tried to put the screencover that comes in the box on top of the anti shatter film but that was a disaster with about 50 air bubbles which looked awful. Don't really know what to do next because like you i have heard the anti shatter film marks easily. I have no scratches yet but mine seems to have loads of static and is attracting dust and fluff really badly.

I think these are standard screen covers which are supposed to go on top of the anti shatter film to protect the film from scratching.

I'm 99% sure this is correct.
The ASPL factory fitted on the Z will be MUCH thinner than the screen protectors in the box.
I got some spare ultra clarity screen protectors off eBay which were super easy to apply. Absolutely no bubbles, feel good now they've settled and don't appear to have hampered display quality.

both the arc and x10 came with screen covers (ASPL's) in situ and spares in the box, I'd just presumed the ones in the XZ box were spare ASPL's?
after all isn't an ASPL just a screen protector? - any well adhered film/screen protector would help stop the screen from shattering
i'm currently looking for an aftermarket anti-fingerprintscreen protector like SGP's ultra oleophobic which I had on my Galaxy s3, it was really good at resisting smudges - the ASPL is a smudge magnet!

You should wait for Rhino Shield to be available for the XPeria Z.
Maybe ask them when/if they plan to make a compatible one.

Has anyone removed the ASPL & can report on the actual screens durability?
The amount of scratches I'm getting on the ASPL is breaking me!

No one has yet to report that the screen scratched after the removed the Shatterproof protection. I removed mine but I was too scared to even attempt to scratch it, but you should be 99% ok.(Unless sand comes on it)

I also also love to know the answer to this, as it's been eating me alive for the past few weeks.
I make my phone like a onion firstly apply films supplied in the box and the hard cover at the back :victory:
Sony screen protector supplied in the box is ok it cover screen good enough :victory:
According to some dutch users, yes, the logo is on the protector.

Yes the logo is gone.
Hold on,
So there's an extra layer on the screen?
I installed the screen protector that came with the phone which is pretty good.
People are reporting that removing the anti shatter layer brings off the Sony logo? I would argue it's not supposed to be rremoved. If that's true ....
Am I missing something here

Yes there is an extra layer on the phone, when you remove it, the front Sony logo will be gone.
I removed mine because my phone didn't came with extra screen protectors, else I would have installed them over the antishatter sheet, just the way Sony recommends.
Well this is news to me, I think I'll leave my anti shatter layer on for a bit.
I think I'll need some more screen protectors soon, preferably ones that resist finger prints if anyone can recommend any good brands and UK retailer

So yeah, here is the video for you guys
If it helped don't forget to :good:
Some guy told me you didn't get the pixelated or blurry effect on it, but you get it :\
It is the same as before :\
Any recommendation on a good screen protector? Doesn't have to be anti-reflex anymore, tired of it, they all blow I hear Spigen was a good one, but kind of expensive also..
All anti reflective protectors I have seen will produce a poor screen image, you need to get the normal ones. I have the atFolix ultra clear and its fine.

True that.
but i want the glare on nexus 4 it makes it look so much sexier
U mean, you want reflex on it? I now also want it. Tired of the ones anti glare that are sh#t
anyone recommend the non-reflective ones?
Can someone tell me if there is a place to buy them without being on Amazon or on their website?
Anyonee?
Can anyoneee?
I am seeing a lot of screen protectors coming out on amazon, that are from small companies, was wondering if anybody has ever tried them and which one is the best one? Should I go try some of them out or wait for Zagg to come out of one of their own for the Moto Z/Z force?
Never felt like paying the premium for Zagg stuff; I've been using Skinomi protectors on my last three phones (it's the same material as Zagg/GadgetGuard etc). Have the TechSkin on my Z Force and it fits PERFECTLY, right up to the edge. Tried the MatteSkin once, but found it de-contrasted my screen way too much.

I have just ordered 4 or 5 of them from the small companies that I have never heard of. I'm planning to review them. They start arriving this weekend and my moto z arrives on Tuesday. Can't wait to get started as I tried the phone in BestBuy answer was really impressed.

Well crap. I thought it was the Force that had the 2.5D screen edges. We aren't ever going to get a decent glass screen protector for this phone. My S7 was just like this and as popular as it is doesn't have a good glass screen protector.

how is the fit?
I wish I would have come across this thread before I bought the IQ Shield Tempered Glass protector. Clarity and feel are amazing but the edges don't seal!! It really grinds my gears.
Just bought a generic tempered glass (I highly doubt it is real tempered glass, maybe just some plastic). It is really cheap, not prone to fingerprints, and it makes the screen look great. Adhesion is nice, no abnormal lifts from the sides. Here are some pictures and the price tag.
I'm jealous, that seal looks perfect! I paid twice as much and mine is lifted on the left, right, and bottom edges.

Installed today... The front screen protector is of good quality and attach perfectly on screen even if it is a bit small in size in all directions in my opinion. Great transparency and print resistance too...
The back one is like old screen protections and it's impossible to fit it without a lot of bubble...
Too much for me so I removed... It's a pity since it had a good print resistance too... that was really needed.
Anyone found a screen protector that covers the entire front?

So the link I posted last week, I realized that was for the Moto Z Force and I just have the Moto Z/Moto Z Droid. So I purchased this one and will be returning the other one.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GUKL5W0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Here are some photos to show how much it covers the phone: https://goo.gl/photos/fokxXnJzSq58zKAU6
I didn't get it on exactly perfect but if I did then I think it would have been pretty close to full coverage. I'm considering pull it off and replacing it. Also, I bought a full body protector so that I could put something on the back to protect from scratches and some finger prints. When I pulled it out and looked at it before applying it to the phone then I noticed there was no hole for the gold connection pins to pass through. I was very disappointed. Here is a link to the full body protector.

I don't have an Honor 8. I was looking out for some better dual camera phone. I had an S7 Edge and currently S7. Both were been applied with the Gadgetshieldz. They cover the whole screen and body of the device so I thought sharing this would be useful.

Was anyone able to find a GLASS screen protector for the back on Pixel 4 XL? That would be for the black version which happens to have a smooth glass back. I would think the frosty versions might have an issue with adhesive.

I will take a photo of it later, but slickwrapz has a cork back piece that i've been using for about 2 weeks, it covers the whole back and feels super nice in hand and has been getting really great patina, it sits flush with the camera bump too, so that is a plus. I absolutely recommend it.

Interesting. Does it seem like it's insulating the phone's heat though? I feel like cork might be too much of an insulator and it'll keep too much heat from escaping the back side.
Also, any pictures?

The title read like you wanted a screen protector for the back glass.
I've not came across glass ones for the back but the rhinoshield one I have on the front is performing better than the glass one I had so back one will be good
