I couldn't stop laughing when I opened the envelope from china. Looks a little thick. I hope its not Plexiglas or acrylic. Either way I suppose my phone is ready for anything with this protector. I'm just guessing they're overreaching a bit on the marketing pitch.
I'll update when I get it on.
where did you order this from? send me link plz! Did you also remove the shatter-proof film already attached to the Xperia?
I have installed a similar one but different brand it's quite good. Very clear and not fingerprint magnet.

I put on mine 5 minutes ago, I had an anti glare one before, and boy is this smoother than anything I've ever put on a phone... It has an effective oleophobic coating so you barely see any fingerprint, and touchscreen works fine, no issues at all.
It is actually pretty thick, but I guess it adds no more than 10 grams so I don't really care, I have a basic gel back cover and you can barely see it even if it's considerably smaller than the screen (talking about 1.5mm all around), and even though the holes for sensors and led are REALLY holes, you can literally fill them with water (I'm joking, but I will try and let you know... ).
Only problem with these protectors is you have to get it on on 1 max 2 moves, because replacing it is a real pain in the arse. Because is thicker and heavier and stiffer than any other screen protector, you can't simply put a piece of magic tape on the corner and peel it off, you have to do it with a nail or something like a guitar pick or it doesn't come off. Hence the difficulty if you happen to leave a freaking dust particle under it (usually at the center of the screen, where you see it EVERY SINGLE TIME you take a glance at your device).
Lastly, big bubbles are non existing, instead there are a million of infinitesimal bubbles that go away with hard work with a squeegee, or the producer claims they go away by themselves in the next few days.
Overall, if the bubbles really do go away in the next few days, I'll be really happy with my purchase.
Will keep you posted anyway.
P. S. If you're wondering, yeah, pen and pencils work just fine, I'd say better, since you don't have to worry about the screen (or screen protector) getting scratched...

I spent way too much on my Armorz glass screen protector, but it fits perfectly and is really thin. good quality and feels like iphone screen. sturdy and slick. some finger printing but wipes off with ease. no problems with adhering except for the corner where I kinda messed it up. not super noticeable but still upsetting given the price. -__-

Quick update: I ditched the glas.t protector and have gone back to a simple anti glare one, branded Nillkin this time.
I hate the foggy effect on whites, but I love having no fingerprints at all, not having to clean it every two seconds, and not having to deal with several points where the micro bubbles never went away.
Furthermore, I found a slice on the glass protector that seems to have the coating worn off (it came that way, I just realised it was there the day after I put it on), and that slice is prone to be the dirtiest on the whole surface.
I tried to wash it with soap, dish soap, alcohol, nothing works.
I took it off and put it on so many times (after the first time there were always one or two micro dust particles that managed to get under there, and you often you only see them in full sunlight) that the lower right corner would bend a little so that it didn't stick as well as before.
Add to that the WEIGHT of the thing (about 45 grams) and the added .4mm (seems nothing, but they're A LOT on a 6.5mm thin device), I eventually took it off and replaced it and will stay with my plain screen protectors for the entire device life.

Yeah after just a few hours I decided to remove the glass protector. It just doesn't stick to the corners and edges properly. And the screen feels a bit unresponsive. I just replaced it with a regular matte protector I have as a backup and it feels so much better. Sigh. I wasted 50 bucks in that glass protector. Sometimes I feel like I made a bad decision getting the XZU having to think of all this protection crap. I never ever needed to put anything on my other devices before and those are still looking fine.

I have an interim solution - purchase a larger screen protector and cut it down to size. Since this is more of a temp solution until someone releases one specifically for our device, I'd suggest keeping it cheap -- I used this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370450107891&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
It works fine but you really need a dust-free environment to install - every single spec of dust will cause a small bubble, unfortunately. Again, I would consider this a temporary solution to keep the device scratch-free until a better solution is found.
I think I can manage with the 1 that came on there until a real 1 comes out, I would think accessories are going are going to be released soon for the g tablet. hopefully

Bubble Elimination
Out of the box, mine had a terrible bubble problem and I used scotch tape and a credit card to remove the really bothersome bubbles in the middle of the screen. However, is it just me or is the protector a little big? I can't remove two long running bubbles on two of the edges of the unit.

When I fist got mine, I had two giant bubbles and for about 10 minutes I thought it was an LCD defect. When was the last time you bought an electronic device and it actually came with a screen protector?
As others mentioned, I lifted it off with a piece of tape and that was that. In retrospect, I should have just squeegeed the bubbles out.

never with a screen protector, just the plastic that comes on it when its brand new. thats all i see these 2 layers as, i assumed the manufacturer intended on the consumer peeling them off if they are shipping most of them with big bubbles on the screen. i just couldn't believe that the guy returned it without examining it first, but what was more surprising was that sears examined it at the store and determined that it was defective. right at first for a second i was like wtf is up with this bubble but i quickly began trying to peel at the edges.
I assume it would be hopeless to try and put it back on, right? Mine looks like it is too dirty to reapply.

I'm not going to use one, anymore - now that I have a (messy but usable) case, I don't think its necessary. There really is a difference in screen brightness and color with the screen protector I was using.
The only issues is that the bare screen is a fingerprint magnet - will need to carry a cleaning cloth around.

The fingerprints are really something...after a few hours of browsing the forums, the tablet screen looks like some sort of kindergarten finger painting. I will say that the screen works better once you have a nice layer of grease on it!
I bought a box of Zeiss Lens cleaning wipes from SAMS CLUB. 200 little foil packs for less than $10. I keep a handful of them in the case with the gtablet.
Imho I think the grab could benefit from an antiglare screen protector. I've had one on my last 3 phones and it makes them much easier on my eyes as well as makes using the touchscreen easier. I found that with the bare glass or with a invisishield my finger would "catch" when trying to slide it across the screen, the matte texture to the antiglare protector prevents this and keeps it from looking terrible with fingerprints.

I bet if you washed it down with some soap and water it could be reapplied. I just took mine off and it seems an awful lot like the "Reusable, washable" kind I got off of ebay a while ago for an retired phone.
I made a custom case/stand out of cardboard that I am going to publish the instructions and template for when I get back from holiday travels. You could cover it with whatever material or fabric of your choice. With this I don't imagine needing a screen protector.
My tab came with a green cleaning cloth, but no screen protector like others. Hmmmm....all well, guess I will wait till real ones come out.
I found them at NuShield for $25. Look under nushield.com on the specials.php page (I guess noobs are not allowed to post links)

This case sucks the outside is allright and will protext but it is ugly and the screen protector is twice as bad both sides are almost impossible to put on without a bubble and even if you do manage to get them on with no bubbles then the adhesive type stuff that makes it stick makes it look dorty and messy its a shame cause it works well and you can only use it once so if you mes up at all you are screwed

never tried it but a lil update tho the back of the phone looks a lil better after a few days of us but the screen protector part is crap
I do not understand why people remove the screen protector in the first place; the phone already comes with one which is perfectly good.

Because screen protectors are ugly crap. The purpose of a screen protector is keeping the screen unscratched during the transportation and storage, until somebody buys the product.
I always remove the screen protector before I start the device for the first time. I bought the device in order to use it not to keep it like a museum exhibit.
BTW, I just LOVE people who buy screen protectors for gorilla glass devices )))

Getting display scratched in a way that cannot repaired except for swapping the display ($$$) is way more ugly, if you ask me.
Yea but you can buy a screen protector that looks clean and cool like it is not even there instead of the original that is ugly and has that little dirty tab that says tear me off I got a great reusable screen protector from tmobile you can't even tell its there I love it and I kept this on the back of my phone cause it does protect it even if it doesnt look quite right its better than a ugly case

It's pretty simple: don't put your phone in the same pocket you put your keys/other stuff in and it won't get scratched) I have mine for ~7 months and I have no scratches on the display.

So, tell us what you got, where you bought it and how easy was it to install.
Purchased on amazon.
Took me two tries to get it perfectly positioned onto the phone. Looks great, feels great! Tried many other screen protectors (both wet and dry) and this has to be the best one to date. Comes in a pack of two as well. And you cant go wrong with the reviews. Havent posted a review on amazon yet but i will soon

Oleophobic is an anti-fingerprint technology used on screen protectors and display panels. Theyll pretty much give you the same anti-fingerprint results as you would on the gnex. Gnex is the only phone i know that currently uses a Oleophobic screen panel. Try a gnex and see for yourself. I had one so i can actually say from experience that the stuff does work

I admit that they were a bit difficult to to properly position them onto the screen. Theyre cut exactly the same size as the screen. I have steady hands so it didnt tale me long at all.

This Stuff is Crap . I have it on for about 1 week and now scratches are everywhere (phone is well taken care, always in Jean pocket with no keys, no card, nothing ).
RealLook is GREAT. I regretted that I didn't get it in the first place. RealLook has been on my Samsung Vibrant for over 1 year and there are very few scratches here and there but not noticeable when the screen is on.
I installed the Reallook scren protector last night and it took me a very long time to get it bubble free. It's cut to the exact dimensions of the actual screen so if you are even slightly off alignment, then the film will sit elevated off the Rezound's glass resulting in bubbles.
Having said that it doesn't appear to be any different in composition than the 3 pack scren protector that Verizon sells in their store. This is particularly disappointing since it doesn't resist fingerprints as advertised. Reallook suffers from oily smudges from use although when installed properly, it is very clear and feels smooth like glass.
I will probably keep this on for the time being, but when I have a chane I will return to using the water based films from Bestskinever. Those tend to resist smudges better IMHO.

Same here, except before I put it in my pocket
Day Deal has a screen protector for the DNA, described as Anti Glare, which is great at minimizing finger prints and smudges.
It hides most fingerprints, but if you do get any fingerprints or smudges, a quick wipe on your pants or tee-shirt cleans it right up.
Also, the screen looks very good when the device is turned on.
On the negative side, it IS noticable on your screen, when the screen is turned off.
Also, it doesn't go right up to the edges, but it does cover the touch buttons at the bottom of the screen.
Works well with most covers.
Well, Amazon is fast that's for sure. Ordered the screen protector yesterday with free 2-day and it showed up today. It isn't edge-to-edge, which is a bit disappointing as you have to be extremely precise in aligning it with the screen itself. At least it covers the buttons. A plus about not being edge-to-edge is that there's no interference with my case, so I won't have to worry about bubbling up. Guess this will do until I find a better matte set...

Gosh that was quick! It sounds like it is exactly the same dimensions as the stock ones from vzw. On the sides it just barely covers the screen. But what do you think about it so far? Keeping the fingerprints off good?
Yep, sounds right, this one barely covers the edges of the screen.
I think it's much better than the Zagg I was using in terms of functionality. Keeps fingerprints off relatively well, still get some smears but they come off so much easier than with the Zagg. Plus it feels so much cleaner when swiping...what I was using before made my thumbs feel like they were glued to the screen when I swiped. The only thing I wished is that it was edge-to-edge, but then again, that would probably cause issues with a case.

I barely have any finger prints ever, just the act of putting it in and out of my pocket cleans it off. Plus I love how smooth the glass is compared to how sticky those protectors feel.

I would just go bare screen but even with gorilla glass people's screens are still getting scratched. I would rather deal with a screen protector than having a scratch on my screen forever.

yeah i have already gotten a scratch on my screen... I had the Skinomi screen protector but my Diztronic case caused it to bubble up at the edges then it folded 2 days after i put it on when i put my phone in my pocket (there was no saving it... lint everywhere) Since then i have not used a screen protector but am definatly interested to see how those anti glare and fingerprint protectors do.

them are the ones i got. good product and i actually like the fact that it doesn't go to the edge of the screen because, the last ones i had the case would cause them to bubble up.

I don't personally care for the matte finish kind of protectors and the screen is anti-glare enough on its own. I got the ones from photodon. MXA with oleophobic option. Crystal clear and once it is lightly washed feels just the the screen without one. Also does not go to the edge so no worry about cases. Btw I got the minisuit flex case on amazon for around $5 and it fits so snuggly I can barely tell it's there.

I just put XtremeGUARD I can say wet apply and fingerprint free looks amazing after it drys for 48hrs. It doesn't leave finger prints like verizon screen protector

darn i couldnt find those when i searched for them! i bought the Acase brand. no reviews on amazon yet. anyone have these?
I am looking to find the most high quality option when it comes to screen protectors for the Ultra.
I have tried the Muvit protector - but it isn't the best quality I've seen - and it got a little scratch in the application process.
I was wondering if anyone has tried the Stealth Extreme R from Armorz without having first taken off the shatter proof film?
Wondering how it fits on the device, how it affects the weight - and generally how high quality the protector actually is and if it is worth the extra $50.
I am not interested in trying to remove the shatter proof film after reading people's experiences.
Not sure if it'll help you, but there are quite a number of "reviews" on it on Youtube.

I have the Armorz Stealth Extreme R tempered glass protector. Its actually pretty good quality. If you have never put on a glass screen protector before, it might be a little tricky. I put mine on without water, and paid the price when trying to reposition it. the bottom corner is lifted from when i tried to pry it up and move it. I did apply a back glass using the water method, and it took longer to get the bubbles completely out, but came out pretty clean.
I did not remove the anti shatter film on either side, and have not seen any loss in touch sensitivity.
one thing i did notice is that, it added a little bit of weight, but also gave the phone better rigidity when used without the case. some people have mentioned the phone twisting in their pocket, and i have yet to experience any twisting whats so ever.
not sure if the price has gone up, but i ordered mine for 39$ on amazon. hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for the insight!
So why do you think doing it dry caused a problem? Is the adhesive very strong? I figured it would just pull right off.
Do you have any bubbles or blemishes on the front?

it's a silicone based adhesive. peels off fairly easy but keeps a strong bond. when I pryed the corner up, I pushed part of the adhesive so it clumped up and now won't lay flat. if you spray it down with water, you'll be able to slide it into place with out having to lift.
it looks like a large are in the picture but it really isn't noticeable. the backside went on with water without any issues. sucks that the back glass cost me 13$ and the front cost me 3 times that much only to have that messed up corner. you live and you learn. Lol

I have the glass-M galss screen protector. It's almost $40 with shipping but it's front and back glass. Its very well made, easy to apply and is more fingerprint resistant than the unprotected glass with it's ASF.

... Is that crap made out of Gorilla glass? Good god, that's a screen protector. None of this "Clear film" BS where if there's an Airbubble you just ruined a purchase, oh no, this is quite literally just another screen slapped on top.
What does it do to the thickness of the thing? My concern mainly is with cases like Sony's Battery case that kind of only work with just exactly how thick it is.
Not sure if it's really gorilla glass but no scratches so far from things that would scratch plastic protectors. It is pretty thin I can't say for the case but its under 1mm thick.
Does anyone know this?

I'm tempted to buy ...
Not sure if it's been discussed here before but I just applied the most amazing screen protector I've ever use on any phone. It's called ILLumiShield and they sell it on Amazon and eBay for a reasonable price and is absolutely fantastic it's so easy to put on bubble free, feels like glass even over the the crap protector Sony puts on. I highly recommended and no I don't work for them hehe

Sound nice. One more question: haven't you feel after applied your scr.prot. like whole screen sometimes respond not as exactly as you wish, have you? With my scr.prot. I sometimes get unwanted behavior... Like two fingers tap even if I use only one... Or tap without reaction... Or tap evean I did not do it, self-tap... It happens once a day, maybe two, but it is very annoing... Without scr.prot. it works perfect. I thing I would follow by your adwice, only need your opinion about that not-funny behaviors. Thx

I found this issue to be greatly improved with the iLLumiShield screen protector. But it was definitely more of an issue with the cheaper screen protectors. You also might want to go to settings/sounds and uncheck vibrate on touch. I feel like this improve my touch sensitivity.

Turned off vibrate on touch and it seems a bit more more responsive in some areas, even though it probably is placebo. I have an iShieldz screen protector (similar to Zagg) and noticed that it wouldn't respond when I tap the screen sometimes. Though, I think that's the way I tap the screen, edge of finger vs finger.

Ok. Thanks for answer. One more: I see there are 3 different ILLumiShields: matte, cristal clear and blue light. Which one you recomend? Or which one you have and recomend?

Regarding Illumishield, is it just me or does it sound fishy to anyone else? Lifetime-Guarantee, but they send you 2-3 in a single package?!

Thanks for the tip. Just bought one. Been wanting a protection like that for my phone ever since removing the factory protector. The phone is a fingerprint magnet without the ASF. However found it for $16 and free shipping to Sweden (only front protection though, don't need it for the back).

I applied Glass-M screen protectors on both the front and back of my phone yesterday, and have been very happy with it so far. It's added a little weight, but it feels sturdier and more premium than before, and looks better than the plastic screen protector I had previously. The touch is also a lot smoother than the plastic one, which was a bit rubbery. I installed mine on top of the ASF, both front and back, since I didn't want the "harrowing" experience of removing it. I feel like it's protected well enough to do without a case, though I may get a slim one to cover the edges of the phone as well. Highly recommended. :good:
GlassM is horrible??
Firstly look at these awful photos I've taken:
First go to Dropbox.com, following site:
https : // dl.dropboxusercontent . com
add the following lines for the photos right afterwards:

Can someone link these sites directly? Would be nice, thanks in advance. Email: [email protected]
I will send you the links to the images!!
Received my GlassM this week, applied it yesterday. For whatever the reason, there is now, after 12 hours of use, a 10cm large, deep scratch (no, it's not dust, polished few times). Over the first night, the screen got the crack though. This morning I've noticed the deep scratch.
Yesterday evening, just sliding over my wooden table, impressed of its smooth, I notived two smaller light scratches. I thought so, "ok thats not really your truth, GlassM", but now it's really enough.
GlassM's support does not reply to my support request unfortunately.
Can someone recommend other Glass-protectors for my beloved ZU?
Greetings,
