My friend somehow scratched the screen with his nail,and now there are fine scratches on my screen...one of which is causing a rainbow effect when the screen turned white. Any help on removing,or at least reducing the scratches?thanks for any help
Believe it or not, but the X10 comes with a clear non-scratch resistant screen protector. Look closely along the edges around the screen, and use a razor blade to separate it from the screen. You can buy replacement screen protectors on ebay for $1 each. However, they are difficult to apply. I quit using one altogether, and I have found the bare screen to be very scratch resistant.

But I can see a rainbow where there is a scratch
doesn't that mean the main screen got damaged?
I was fooled by the factory screen protector myself. Remove it and see.
I experienced this as well. The factory installed screen protector is very hard to spot and remove, but nothing impossible.
Try Screen protector..
And as long as i know x10 is scratch proof.

All x10 have stock screen protector. Just remove it when it'sreally annoying to see the scratches! Because when you put new on on it, you will see bubbles and stuff.
Oh i see!.. there's a second micro layer on the glass!.

Buy a Rewashable Screen protector for 1.59$ ( or 2 for 2.99$ ) from ebay. The screen doesn't even react to water now
I put a screen protector on mine without any bubbles. I used water to get it to slide in place and squeegeed the water out.
Also had the battery out and put it in a bag of rice afterwards just in case water got inside. That was 8 months ago and still working well. The only negative is it decreased the sensitivity of the touch screen slightly, but I got used to it.
Here is a guide if you want to apply a screen protector

Use a razor blade to pick up the corner. I broke a nail trying to get the factory screen protector off with my fingers. Lol. Whoever they have applying the factory one really does a great job.
Well whaddaya know, there is a layer. Sneaky little SE salesmen made me pay 25 bucks for another, redundant screen protector. -_-

dose anyone know how to remove the hard film from the sony x10 comes already with the phone ...
You mean the stock screen protector?
Yeah, it's a pain as it's so thick that it's hard to remove. I just used my nail to try to lift a corner (took a while). Once I was able to raise enough to get a grip on it, I was able to grab the lifted corner and pull it right off.
Now I have a beautiful Clear-Coat protector instead.

I know SE shipped a spare screen protector in with the X10s in some regions. That was in addition to the stock screen protector they had factory installed. So if that was the case for you and you applied the spare, then yeah you would've had 2 installed.
Haven't heard of them applying 2 at the factory, but I wouldn't be surprised if a few slipped through like that.

Yeah, I figured the same thing and thus also went only with the screen film. Application is easy, and the film is ultra-thin.

I hadn't noticed it already came with one until reading a post on xda, so made me chuckle as I'd stuck on another one too.
Kinda late but I'll give in my 2 cents on how to remove the factory installed cover.
All we are trying to do is to remove the cover so we'd want something rigid but not hard/sharp enough to scratch up or break the screen. The best solution that I was able to come up with is to use a plastic knife (I'm sure you can find one in a plastic children's cutlery set). I used a Zespri Kiwifruit Spife
Next, using the plastic knife, attempt to scrape up one of the corners. This took me about 5 tries for me (about 4 seconds). When that's done, use the knife to prise/scrape up as much of the protector as you need to grasp it and pull it off.
The razor is the best tool for lifting the cover up
Why bother removing the stock screen protector if you don't mind me asking? Especially if it's in good condition.
Does the performance of the touch screen improve? Is it still better than stock if you remove the factory protector and add that clear coat one?
I took the protector off because it was all scratched up. Didn't put another one on. The screen is very very tough. No scratches at all so far
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
lol, i think noone's trying to answer the OP's question. I got my stock screen protector removed with my nails and a flat plastic like a guitar pick or something. It takes a lot of patience and time...it took me about half an hour just to get a corner up, but once you get the corner it shouldn't be that hard to pull it out. Hope it helps
awesome my screen got scratched the other week and read this post and removed film lol

it comes with a pre applied screen protector, and yes my phone wistanded so much friction and the screen is still as it was out of the box
I removed the screen protector after about a week after I got it, up to now it's still in mint condition. I look at it under the bright sunlight to see if there is any scratch recently, but I found none. So, I believed that it is true, that it is using a mineral glass and scratch resistant, but not scratch proof...
Hey same my screen is pretty mint with one month or normal usage with only the hidden screen protector. I do not think that the screen is scratch resistant but more like the hidden screen protector is.
IMHO I wouldn't take off the preapplied protector unless u replace it right away. I took off the protector when I got it and now my screen is really scratched up. There's even an imprint from when it came into contact with a hot lighter.

Lucky you took the protector off. It would have melted and been stuck permanently. How would you have taken melted plastic off the glass?

I had a fright the other day when I saw what I thought was a crater from where a bit of hot ash had landed, then realised even it was it had a SP on, in fact it's got two because I put another on not knowing it already came with one applied. It was just bit gravy after all, but had it of been ash it could have been nasty was the screen not protected.
And you can obviously show that it's not really "resistant" as such so I'm with you, leave it on or replace it straight away. But each to their own and all that.
i got a question for everyone here, my factory applied screen protector for my X10 is peeling off and im getting sick of seeing it looking like crap, and im on the verge of removing it, but im worried the glass on the screen will get scratched easily espeically when using it, when i had my old touch pro it got a hairline scratch just using it when i swipe on the screen and im fearing it might happen to my X10
will i experience any scratches(hairline etc.) very easily if i remove my protector? i usually have my phone in a carrying case on my belt

Yes it will get scratched easily, I speak from my own (unpleasant) experience...
1 year without protector! not a single scratch.. I also put it in my pocket, not in any type of case.
Dude, just be safe and get a protector
Just get one of those anti-glare ones off eBay, works like a charm.
unless you go at the screen with something sharp (knife, screwdriver, etc) then you will not scratch it. I have had no screen protector on it for months, not a single mark. infact, it looked worse when there was a screen protector on it!!
also, remember there are 2 protectors on these phones. a lot of people remove the first one, then scratch the 2nd one and think they have scratched the glass
scratch free

+1 just hit a year with no screen protector, and still scratch free! winning!
I took of the original screen protector when i received the phone...but then I read about the second screen protector and i realised that i still had that one on as well.
It was getting scratched and was hard to clean so a couple of weeks ago i took it off..(very easily although some people find it hard, maybe because it seems stubborn to come off at first)
Well, since then I have NO scratches on my phone, even though i keep it in my posket with my keys and loose change...
Also, it cleans up a lot better from the fingerprints than the screen protector did.
the only reason I can think why SE put it on is if you crack the screen it keeps the tiny pieces together so it doesnt cut you, but that means you still have cracked screen...it doesnt protect your screen, just their bank balance if you sue them!!
Lets not forget that once removed it becomes sensitive to moisture.
"if this does effect you, find a thin high quality protector"
I am not happy with my new Xperia S or Sony's attitude. I only had the phone a week and the screen has many fine scratches. I am extremely careful with my phones - my original Desire's screen is unmatied. With the Sony statement forth Xperia being scratch resistant I felt I was on safe ground - after all I'd come back to Sony to rediscover the quality I yearned and always had on previous Sony phones since my Z1 back in '96.
I've treated my Xperia the same as those before it - the most extreme condition being loose in my inner suit pocket with my work BlackBerry. And this is exactly what has covered it in scratches - the pitch of the scratches matching that of the cheap plastic keys on the BlackBerry.
And to insult me properly I get the below response from Sony, as if they are sniggering from around the corner.
"Thank you for contacting the Sony Xperia support centre.
We can confirm the handset is scratch resistant, however not scratch proof, it is still possible to scratch the screen of the handset, we apologize for any confusion caused by this."
I though this was Sony trying to get back on a level with the top guys... With gorilla glass everywhere else many (me included) assumed Sony's claim of scratch resistant meant some proprietary equivalent.
One Sony Xperia S for sale. ....... Only loads of minor scratches...
You aren't aware that your Xperia S came screen protector preinstalled? Glass underneath is scratch proof mineral glass.
Mate i believe you scratched the protective screen protector, as it is really easy to get scratched, even with a fingernail you will be able to scratch the screen protector ( minimal scratch ofc )
Remove the screen protector and your scratches will be gone
watch from minute 2:40:
is it really the screen or the screen protector?
The preinstalled plastic is not a screen protector, but for keeping the glass together if the screen cracks so the glass is not going everywhere in the air.
I would say as the ppl above, this is scratched, not the screen
Dont worry. U can take it off and use the actually screen protector that came in the box!

Try a brando ultra clear or martin fields screenprotector. Both are high quality and much better scratch resistant. Both brands have protectors for the xps that can be ordered online.

If you dont want to see any scratch in your screen, I'd recommend you to search for a 'Matte' screen protector, which I've chosen to be from Steinheil for my past phones: They -are- the best ones offered. A bit expensive though...
They seem a bit blurrier than the crystal clear ones, but I guarantee the 'soft touch feeling', no more oily screens and no scratches makes up to that.
Specially because we have a bright screen with sharp colours so there'll be no problem I guess.
Wait, so there's actually a screen protector on the phone from the factory?
Can I remove it? Any benefits to removing it?
I can barely see it on the glass, almost missed this.

Even gorilla glass can be scratched with keys or against another hard object like another phone, every phone to date is susceptible even your Desire which doesn't come any protection against ware and tare.
It's toughened glass not steel, Sony is exactly right with the screen being scratch resistant, not scratch proof just like any other mobile maker will tell you and just like all other mobiles/tablets currently in circulation.
Seriously don't put your brand new mobile in with your keys, coins, junk etc, wait a few months at least like I do lol.
Completely agree with ErichSan, I hate the oily/smudgey feeling screen protectors also.

He's peeling of the plastic that is there to keep the glass together if it breaks. The preinstalled plastic filter does NOT protect against scratches (it may work a little bit against scratches). If u really want one who protects, the phone came with a screen protector in the box.

Has anyone else found that when using pencils and pens on the screen that they scratch the hell out of their screens. And it is now pssing me off knowing i have really scratched it beauces of doing something they said you can do. Especially since the screen is meant to be scratch resistant.
Yea it's actually an anti shatter film. not so much a scratch resistant layer. I just put a screen protector on top of mine before I started testing out the handwriting thing. once it scratches I just replace it. gotta do some research before doing some of the sketchy stuff. for example, I have yet to try out the phones water proofing. I know it can be done but should I do it as a test? ehh ill probably just take their word for it. lol

Well yeah this is Sony main weaknesses.. but one of their main strength too.. Saw that Xperia Z1 drop test? not a crack on the screen (compared to the S4 for example). Why? well the shatter proof does its job.. but unfortunately, the scratch resistant nature is only embedded on the screen below it.. so like any other phone, please buy yourself a new screen protector. even my previous Gorilla Glass RAZR MAXX is scratched after 8 months of use.. Better protected than never..

I put a gearmaxxx ultra clear screen protector on D1, scratched on day 3 I think, trying to write on the device with a pencil.
Then I got an anti glare no brand screen protector, really good, scratched 5 days ago trying if pencils or metal objects could write under water, as several sites report that as working. Of course it didn't work, but then I obviously scratched the screen protector again.
By then the Chinese glas.t knock off had arrived, so I put that on. Some days later I impressed my dad and my daughter with a pen on it, and she began drawing with the Sketch app.
Wanna know how it ended?
Even the tempered glass got scratched.
Bottom line is, everything get scratched sooner or later.
If you can live with few scratches on your screen and change screen protector every now and then, do as you please, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm not writing on the screen with anything besides my fingers anymore, I'm sick of changing screen protectors, and the original anti shatter film on the device is a pain in the arse to remove if you scratch that.
And if you manage to remove that too, you'll most definitely lose your warranty (other than the Sony logo).

I am almost certain that the shatterproof protector they put on their phones only keeps the shards of the broken glass in, so you don't cut yourself or anything. Shatterproof protectors don't actually stop the phone from breaking, whatever glass Sony is using just must be really tough.

With some plastic on top I'm sure there is some resistance to shatter because it absorbs some of the shock rather than directly to the glass itself..

Possibly yes but a shatterproof sheet itself does not stop the glass to break, despite the misleading name. It merely keeps the shards in when it does break. I'm sure the Z1's sturdiness is more from Sony's strong glass and frame of the phone than the sheet on they put on the screen
