I'm going to upgrade to this phone from my Galaxy S3 which never really needed a screen protector. Does the z2 need one or is the glass scratch proof like gorilla glass?
Thanks,

The Z2 use3s Dragontail glass which is very strong, but slightly less scratch resistent than Gorilla glass,
However I think it's personal preference as to whether you use a screen protector or not..
I personally always use a screen protector just in case & have never had any problems doing so...
It came with one so I put it on there and its actually pretty ok.
Never had one on any of my phones before but this one has a nice matte finish to it. As the whole front it glass is worth it imo
Does the z2 have a shatter proof film? If so they scratch very easily and would need a protector but as pointed out since implementing spf's sony has been giving protectors in the box's of most handsets.

The glass of Z1 is scratch proof. But there will be some scratches after long time using.
So if you can't bear any tiny scratches , you'd better use a screen protector.
I feel a protector is always nice

How does it compare against the iphone 5s? I never needed a screen protector for mine.
Mine only came with a screen protector for the front in the box which I applied straight away, but I had to wait 3 days for a protector for the back to arrive, in that time its got several ugly scratches on the back glass.
I'm rather disappointed to be honest as it's not been abused, its been in the same pocket I kept my z1 in for 6 months without a mark to the screen protector. I was hoping Sony had put one of the easily scratched shatter proof films on the back, but sadly it seems there isn't a pre applied film and the glass scratches very easily.
Now I have a 3 day old Z2 which looks older than my 6 month old Z1

Because mine sits in a case, I applied the free front one and cut the corner of the factory applied back cover until the rear protector arrives off amazon.

I probably overpaid for my Nillkin 9H explosion proof tempered glass screen protector it feels every bit as good as the glass screen underneath. Plus it doesn't matt the screen colours down like the protector that comes with the phone.

I am thinking the regular screen protectors are difficult to stick and may not be waterproof, which kind defeats the purpose of having a waterproof phone!

First and foremost let me just start by saying that I typically do not do reviews, but I do consider myself to be a phone fanatic. I've owned several cases for several phones, including iPhone 5 & Otterbox Defender (Pictured) and this is by far the best Defender case that I've purchased. I'll try to keep it short and let the pictures do the talking.
The case fits very tight and the phone will not move at all once its placed inside, so be sure that there's no lint or hair on the screen or screen protector of the case because it's next to impossible to remove it without a flat head screwdriver or knife. The headphone port leaves plenty of room for L Shaped 3.5mm jacks (Beats etc.). The "rubber" outer shell is very stiff and shouldn't get loose over time like some of the older otterboxes. All of the ports and cutouts are perfect. The only thing that i don't like is that there is a rainbow affect from the screen protector, & the fact that it looks like a 7" tablet when it's on my hip. But that said this case was definitely worth the wait and money.
I appreciate that review but I own the case I'm just curious should I take the built in screen protector off or take my screen protector off
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Im not having any bubbing here. I would its the self healing tech 21 protector thats causing the otterbox protecter to stick and make bubbles. I would take off the screen protector and put just a cheap one on. And keep the otterbox one on as it helps keep dust out of the case. Buts that just my opinion based on the thinking that a nice self healing screen protector is going to be wasted under there anyway.

This is what I want to do but nobody has confirmed that it will or will not work. I don't want to drop $60 on the defender and it be unusable. Now that I have had a tempered glass protector I could never go back to a plastic protector!
Hi everybody. My Note 3 was protected by a screen protector. I just remove it right now because the pen let some marks on the screen and its very annoying. Also, I have the Samsung Flip Cover the one with the screen. My question is should I put another screen protection or its not necessary? It is easy to scratch the screen.

Screens do get scratched and you must need a protector.
Sent from Galaxy Note 3 SM-n9005
I wouldn't say it's easy to scratch the screen. It is possible though and it's much cheaper to replace a screen protector than a screen. Sounds like you were using a cheap plastic one. I'd recommend you look into a tempered glass protector which will not compromise the look and feel of the device compared to plastic protectors and you certainly won't have any problems with the protector being marked with the pen.

WOW... I have been using one for 2 months now... never scratched it. PLUS you can get a new one for the price of shipping from them as they are lifetime.
I recommend a screen protector with ALL S view cases. they tend cut into the screen at mid point. Temper glass should be better. Get one with smooth edges though.
I have a tempered glass screen protector that I bought on ebay for about 8 dollars. About 2 months ago, and it looks great on the phone. Doesn't compromise the looks of the screen and doesn't scuff up when I use the pen.

Are the S-pen marks from worn out tips or new tips?
I have the same screen cover and I have no such issue. Screen is as flawless as when I got my screen cover.
Alot of ppl with the scovers have been complaining about the screen getting a press line in it from the bottom of the sview window.
I have always used screen protectors. The one I used on my last 2 devices (including my N3) is Ghost Armor. A bit pricey, but they have a lifetime warranty
i have seen many customer bringing in multiple devices scratched. it almost always happens in situations you least expect. i had a construction worker come in. phone was beat to death and the screen was perfect yet a lady came in after bumping her phone on the side of her car and scratching it bad so you just never know. i got a zagg glass on mine and its awesome. feels just like the screen. why take the chance.

As for the s-pen leaving marks, you could try using a a different tip. Your Note 3 should have come with extra tips, if you look closely they are different.

Tempered glass can protect your screen from shocks and scratches. But it is thicker than other normal films. And it is weak in anti fingermark.
So if you worry the screen broken due to impact, you'd better use a tempered glass.
If you decide to use a case, then you can choice a anti-glare screen film or a clear screen protector which is thin and cheap.They also can keep scratches away from the screen.
You can get Sony Xperia Z2 accessories from witrigs which offers SONY accessories and SONY repair guide.
I have to say that xtreme cover rocks. If you get dust under it just rince with finger tip water and soap.
