Hi guys,
For those of you that have this device, what are your thoughts on the build quality?
So I've got my first replacment now, my initial device had the creaking back, this device, at the top plastic that curves around the back, where it meets the glass on the front, seems to have come away slightly at one corner. Its ever so slightly raised and is only really noticeable if you purposely stick your finger nail in.
I don't fancy taking it back, likelyhood is it would be another issue on another tablet.
Thre overall design of the tablet is fantastic but sadly it has a few quirks in the build quality,
Interested to hear your opinions.
The plastic fold on mine is slightly raised against the glass screen but consistent thru out and not just on one corner. in fact the whole surrounding edges are the same. I think this is so that when screen protector is used it should feel more level around the edges. The overall built in mine is quite good. It feels nice to hold. It makes a little creak when hold in a certain way but I can live with it. This is my first tablet and I must say im really pleased with it so far.
The build quality is excellent, except for a small creak on the edge of the back black plastic fold, which i think is ok & nothing major.
Xperia tablet has gorilla glass or plastic screen ?

Same here, I have the little creak as well, however it's not really an issue for me. The build quality is superb, feels very sturdy even though it is also very light in the hand

Not really sure as it say scratch resistant glass, but doesn't specifically mention Gorilla glass
Did Sony gives the screen protector in the box ?

i also got a small creak on the edge of the back plastic fold, i came up with this temporary solution, with a piece of light cardboard

Hi,
There is no screen protector in the box, just the tablet, power cable with usb part to plug into the tablet, you can use ac power or usb to charge it and the various documents/guarantee.
No issues here, not even the creaking - solid as can be.
For me, at the front of the device you have the glass LCD. at the top right of the glass, you've then got the start of the curved plastic that wraps around to the back of the device.
The bottom right bit of plastic on the front, at the top right of the glass has ever so slightly come away, if I stick my nail inbetween the glass and the plastic, you can see the plastic comes away a good 1mm or 2mm and is raised about 0.7mm.
I only noticed it when I purposely stick my nail in there, otherwise it's not an issue, but once you know it's there, it niggles you.
Hard to show in a pic, but, I do think I may have done it sticking a nail in to get rid of some dust.
Dirt seems to collect in between the bezel and glass.
someone who has problems with the screen? today i notice a white spot with a blue aura around it in almost the middle of the screen, it appears on a white background. (check out the photo, bad camera) I will return my tablet to Sony
(cant post links here get )

Sony Logo on Xperia Tablet S?
What is up with the hideous Sony logo on the face of the Xperia Tablet S? Is the logo removable? If not, it certainly subtracts from the beauty of the table. The clean face of the Sony Tablet S is one of the features that make it a great looking tablet. Why Sony would want to bugger the face of the Xperia Tablet S with an eyesore logo is bewildering.
To me the logo is just great, love it that way.It just adds something extra. So you see, different opinions on that
I like the Logo. it cries premium.
I dont mind the logo at all!

Strangely when I saw it on the web, I hated the logo, however i think it looks nice when you see it, it also stops people asking me if it's an ipad, even with the unique design, I still get asked that question everyday, amazing how sheep like and stupid so many people have become!
There's a big a** Sony logo on my SXS. And some chic looks at my phone and asks if it's an iPhone. Never mind the transparent strip, or the Xperia logo at the bottom.

I've got no issue with the logo on the screen, I'm proud of my device.
Anyway, alot of companies do it. Take a look st Archos, they have branding all over their tablrt on the front,.
I saw in the store the previous model. The screen was very scratched. The previous model had a plastic screen? The new model definitely has a glass?
Yes New model has Glass Screen.

Yeah. Really lucky. My 4 week old Neo V was just falling once into the ground. It landed with the upper left corner.
RESULT:
Broken Screen, just a real little part in the left upper corner. But. The Touchscreen isn't working anymore...
Did somebody had some problems with dust under the screen?! There were about 2 tiny "things" under it...
As the above posters said, the screen is scratch resistant. In those 4 weeks I've didn't had one.
Sorry for my english skills...
I cant imagine a smartphone without any screen protector. I have been using this one for couple months and it has already saved my screen from scratches (even from some small particles when you have it in your pocket). Its true that the tiny part of shield is irretrievably scratched (even they guarantee its indestructibility), but the display is like new. Thank god!
i would still buy a screen protector just to be sure if i were you,
you can get it really cheap on ebay or maybe other webshops.

I doubt that a bumper(like iphone one) exist for our Neo,maybe some cheap plastic cover,but it won't save from screen crack,for that need some rubber bumper or smth soft.

and what about silicon cases.....it's really helps? it's easy to find on the internet? cause i don't think i will find a good 1 here in Brazil......
Im between a optimus black and a xperia neo.... probably going for the neo... it's cheaper and i liked it a lil bit more than the optimus.....
Got my Neo a screen protector since day one. Been using it for more than a month... Got my protector some scratches... Well I think putting a screen protector is better rather than having none. Got nothing to loose right? just a few bucks (LOL) Im more concerned on getting some scratches on its back cover so I got a silicon case. Drop my phone twice, no dents or whatever...

hmmm.. You said it was scratched? Does it look like a dead pixel or stuck pixel? if it is a stuck pixel, you could search for the web on fixing it. Dark spots are caused by an excess pressure and sadly some of them grows larger just like on TVs, LCD monitors etc.... Its either, you try fixing it, or get your unit replaced.....
Been using a screen protector and a leather case with flip cover from the day I brought phone and it's been 4 months now and not a single scratch in phone

I have never Used One that Come With the Box nor have i applied any kind of protector. But when i touch the Affected area, it feels Kinda rough..
I generally don't like using cases on my phones but since I paid so much for my Xperia S I have been using one. I was curious how people who don't use cases on it have had their phone look like. How has the Xperia S survived the day to day normal wear and usage?
i dont have a case, cause i dont want to cover my beautiful XS..hehe..but i have a pouch for my XS.

I didn't use a case at first but a porch, and I hit a table with the lower left edge of my s (really soft, I didn't even drop it, I just put it down quickly) and it cracked and the paint peeled of. I drew over it with nail polish but I have been using a hard case ever since PLUS a porch.
And I still get a lot of scratches on the housing where the cut outs of my case are (mostly around the USB and headphone plugs, even though I treat my phone really carefully)
I wouldn't recommend using the phone without a case, it scratches way too easy.

Man this phone body is like a tin can

I usually put my phone in the side pocket alongside with headset and it scratched. Hopefully i have it black so the scratch is not really visible.
And do not ever put your phone in the same pocket with your car keys. In my own experience it can dent your phone pretty bad

I got a white Sony Xperia S a couple of days after the release. Never used any cases, I really hate 'em unless they add functionality.
I dropped my Xperia S only once on tiles, but it wasn't a very high drop. You can only see the scuffs if you look for them. They're really tiny.
Also, the only other scratch I have on my Xperia S is just my fault. I tried putting it in a tin case-like thing I had on a tripod which I had made for a smaller phone, but what I didn't realise was that the edges were very sharp.
My conclusion: Unless you like dropping your phone on the floor or scratch it on purpose with very sharp items, the Xperia S probably won't have any scratches at all. Even in white. The screen too is fine and the Sony (Ericsson) logo on the back isn't scratched either.
I've had mine for 5 months. It once dropped from a very low height facing down, so the screen kinda had a "scatter" from the side (volume up height) and the line goes until the very top of the USB port. It is only seeable at certain angles. There are also tiny scratches, but they are on the screen protector, so.... It once dropped from a slightly higher height than the first, but nothing happened.
"What really matters in this world, anyway?"
I am not surprised that the white one has scratch problems. My buddy had a white HTC Hero with teflon coating and it looked pretty bad after a year or so.
My Xperia s has a thin case so the outside is mint. The screen has really minute scratches that all screens get that you can only see in certain light but no biggy. I never rock a screen protector. I would like to go case free but seeing peoples comments it makes me a bit nervous.

Mine is a white one. I don't have a single scratch (none that I can see, at least). And my screen "scratches" are like yours, but they are on the shatter proof that come already applied to the device.

The Xperia S already has a screen protector on it from the factory. Going case free isn't a problem for me at all
I wouldn't remove this protector though. I read somewhere that it could make capacitive button sensitivity less.
I use some cheap pocket-like condom to keep my sola semi-safe.
Back in 2010 when I just bought a brand new HTC Desire I immediately wanted to protect it. I mean PROTECT IT.
I bought the Krusell Orbiflex thingie (was like uberexpensive) and was pretty happy with it until... after few months I realized that the screen was actually scratched by the case itself!
Then I sent over the HTC to the service point (because of broken camera or something). I repeated the procedure 5 times, so they swapped the unit into a new one.
I was happy and stuff and put the new, shiny device into the same case .
After few weeks my brand new HTC was scratched again in the very same spot beacuse of the case. AGAIN.
Maybe a little bit OT but kind of funny story it was .

No removing it makes it more sensitive. Trust me I have done it on 3 different Xperia S phones.

People don't stay with their phones for much longer anyway, so i don't think it's a good thing use cases...
My only scratch is off all places on the glass in the centre of he screen on my s3 after taking it into a repair shop without my case on. Was just glad to have my phone back so let the guy off with the scratch... normally use a otterbox defender case.

After much hesitation, I finally got around to remove the pre installed film last night.
It is not easy to remove , but it is worth it. You get better touch sensitivity and clearer picture; and it feel so much better to touch actual glass than plastic!
Use a blade or a sharp object near the corners to lift the film up carefully without scratching anything else.Fingernails didn't do the job for me!
After you have lifted a good amount of the film, you can pull the rest by hand; but it doesn't come off easily and will leave some residue behind. Use a clean cloth to remove the residue. Voila!

I don't remember exactly the spec, but I am pretty sure it is scratch resistant glass but not the 'gorilla' brand.
I hate screen protectors and am okay with a few minor scratches as long as the don't interfere with the screen when its on.
Worst case, I got Sony Care if the screen gets really damaged and hopefully can get it replaced.
I expect the anti shatter film to be similar to the one in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GzYnDnZDRg
I'm keeping it on the tablet, at least for now.

Sir, you mentioned that you have already removed pre applied screen protector on your Xperia Arc S, so I was wondering is that this layer about half of millimeter smaller than the whole screen?
please answer as soon as possible.

It's the layer which stands out a bit if you look from the side or feel it with your fingernail. I recommend something like a thumbtack or something else sharp to remove it but watch out not to damage your screen! The screen may be sticky after removing it. Just wash it with a wet cloth some times and after 1 or 2 days of usage it will be gone.
Hi guys.
Straight to the point here - What colour should I get, Black or White? I want the colour that will be most free from scratches/scratching, and even if it does scratch, I want a colour that could possibly hide it well/blend in etc.
Any personal experiences with black or white and scratching?
Thanks
Black is a damn attraction for all the fingerprints and the scratches in the world. Don't know about white.

Black so much fingerprints. But sexy gloss.
i owned both the black and white ultra and i have to say that the black is more prone to scratches and the smudger makes the phone looks ugly, u really have to clean it really often but it's the most sleekest color among the 3 . The white don't show smudges and always looks clean but it makes the phone looks more bigger and more ridiculous in your ear. I love the white too but the only thing i hate is is the silver bezel that surrounds it , i want the screen to be all black without a white/silver border but otherwise it's a very classy looking color. I've seen the purple at the store and i might say that women probably the only liker on this colors as it looks to gayish for a man to use.
but seriously i still have both phone and i can't still make a clear decision
Black is sexier, but my god it attracts fingerprints.

If the white would have a white front like the iphones with holes cut out where the proximity sensor and all that is then I would buy it but not when the whole front is black then the sides and back are different. It looks stupid to me, like asymmetric in a bad way.

It only scratches easily because the z ultra has shatterproof screen protector on both front and back glass panels.
I still have the film on both sides. Don't want to mess with trying to take it off...too lazy and impatient. But the back of my white ultra looks flawless. But if you look closely and in the right light, you will see a ****load of scratches. You really have to be looking for them and up close to notice. The white back hides any imperfection pretty good.
...and yeah, IMO I still think of the z ultra as a premium device and still one of a kind device. I actually preferred it to my note 4. The z ultra is literally sex in a 6.5mm slab.

It only scratches easily because the z ultra has shatterproof screen protector on both front and back glass panels.

:laughk thanks I will order a good set of screen protectors front & back from Amazon before I start using my phone.Oh good news guys I spoke to Sony tech and they said all the Sony Z phones will be getting Lollipop updates early 2015.
I just got my Z Ultra GPE. I have the incipio dualshine case for it but the included screen protector is not very good and I ended up with a pretty poor application. I ordered a glass protector from Glass-M but it won't be here for a couple weeks. Do you guys think I can get by without a protector without scratches until the glass comes? I only really put it in my pocket. One edge of the protector I have didn't adhere properly and I'm afraid fuzz/dirt will get under and scratch it. Other option is to just use my S4 until I get the better protector.
I've had my Ultra since september and i don't have a single (noticeable) scratch on the front (i'm not using any additional protection). You'll be fine, but accidents happen, so it's not possibble to tell if yours will be scratch free in a few weeks. I do have a couple of scratches on the back though, but i couldn't care less.

@hamdogg mentioned an easy way to apply the protector, use water - added bones is the phone is waterproff
you should be able to remove and reapply the protector.
I've used mine since September with no case or added protection. Like @LordManhattan no scratches or wear at all. Dropped it a couple of times without issue.
Worth adding I dont use a stylus or pencil or anything other than fingers, pretty sure that would degrade the film pretty quick.

I can't see scratches on mine when I am using it. But turn of the screen and swing the phone side to side until the light hits it just right and I see all kinds of fine scratches. How easy is it to scratch? I'd say very easy. And it's not just fine scratches that plague this phone but also the fading of the oleophobic coating. You'll notice the part of the screen where you constantly touch gets rougher compared to the rest of the screen. In the end I'm just waiting for mine to scratch to the point where I will have to remove the ASF.

On mobile....
Ok thank you all for the feedback. I decided to just use it. If it's something that will scratch in 2 weeks of light use and no accidents I'd just assume return it.
Can anyone share how zu will look like if you remove the asf.....if the sony logo is not their.... It will be a little weird......

You are correct, the Sont logo will be gone on the front, but the Sony and Xperia logos on the back will still be there. Weird? There are several phones out there without any branding on the front (iPhone *cough*), so i can't see why it's weird, but you have your own opinion of course

Well it will be look premium if the logo can be seen on the front.....i put a cover on the back so people dont know what my phone model is.....sometimes people mistaken for Chinese model because no model and Chinese manufacturer often make cheap big phone.....my asf got scratch and i eager to take it off...but the remove of the logo and some people said that the screen is not that great to feel is what holding me back.....the aftermarket screen protector is not take full of the screen and their is a cut on the led and sensors..... Even for clear one...so i dont like it a little....i prefer not to use any at all but just the screen but what bad review of the glass....make me scared...... :-/

Really not sure what to think
I really dont know what to think of it i wanted to buy the z ultra (the normal one..not google play edition because i cant get it in germany)
and the only thing that holds me back is..i can live with a not so well camery..i only take a few photos but i wouldnt be able to live with a device that just takes every single little fingerprint and scratches easily some people say it scratches easily ..some dont i wouldnt use anything else then my fingers to operate it..and carry it safely in my handbag
is it acceptable or really that bad? else i will probably go with a note 3 or a nexus 5 + nexus 7..so i have a small device on the go and a nexus 7 for watching streams/videos at home
I've got some scratches in the middle of my screen from one mistake placement in the same pocket as my keys. Surprised since the screen is supposed to be fairly resilient, I'll be looking into a protector shortly.
that kinda scares me x.x even if i would never put the device next to my keys..it will be most likely in that power cas einside my handbag x.x

You didn't scratch the screen. You scratched the anti shatter film. It's still annoying though, so yeah, you should probably get a second protector, or just remove the ASF and go naked (it's glass after all, so it won't actually scratch unless you're really unlucky) or put the new third party protector on the glass. One protector is bad enough (how it feels to touch), so i can't imagine using two
