I recently bought tempered glass from brando and very happy with it. I now plan to buy another one for the back but i want to protect the camera as well. Is it ok if i use the front without cutouts or my camera will be affected?

I don't know if tempered glass will have the same problem; but I placed a plastic screen protector on the back and I noticed that if you cover the flash then when you take a picture, the light from the flash will travel along the protector and cause an annoying blue glare in all your night shots using the flash.
You could, but you'd somehow have to cut a hole for camera/flash
If u place it over the camera the flash light will fcuk up your pics. U need one with cut outs.

Yes you can. i had tempered glass on my Z1 before .I gave away my Z1 and bought Z2. before giving it i removed the tempered glass and applied it on the backside of z2. it looks abit weird but works fine for me. ( actually looks like man wearing shorts )
i was worried why my photos with flash looked weird blue. thanks guys for the heads up. the only thing which was keeping me away from Sony phones was lack of Gorilla glass ( dunno why they are so stubborn ) . now because of introduction of tempered glass i switch over to Sony from M7. I salute the guys who invented tempered glass protection.. Great find

pretty sure Sony use Dragontail glass, and its very close to Gorilla glass if not better
I got front and back protector from here. Happy with it. It fits perfectly fine, doesn't add anything to the thickness, and works properly with the magnetic dock.

DURING my pre purchase research about XPERIA ZU through different reliable forums like GsmArena, one thing that clicked and attracted me was It's screen Scratch resistant feature.
But sadly I managed to get two noticeable scratches on the very first day of use. Since my phone was under Warranty, i reported it to Sony and I was given another brand New Phone in exchange.
I advice all you Gadget lovers not to use it without Screen protector (Front n Back).
NOTE:-
SINCE it is new in market, you will hardly get Screen Protector for it. I bought Galaxy TAB 7 Inches Screen protector and managed to cut it to Xperia ZU's size. Atleast to keep it safe until the right screen protectors are easily available.
If you find it useful in any way kindly press Thank You.

My screen protector already have some 2 spot of "erased" area. I don't know how the fuk is happened. Very hard to spot this thing but on the sun I can see 2 stains like a dirty glass !!
And I swear I didn't touch my screen with no chemical/hard cloth etc
And if you look closely the Sony logo printed on the protector side again ! I hope I'm wrong. Damn it.
All fault came from Sony still insist stick that stupid "Shutter Proof Sheet" that will get scratch, it is that sheet scratch not the screen itself.

I always find it useful to have a back protector, even if the device is in a case, as bits of dust etc can still work their way into the back of the case and scratch the device :good:

I prefer the "wet" install of the xtreme guards as I find it easier to put on without getting bubbles under the film. Does anyone else find the same or is it just me?
It might be "scratch resistant" but not "scratch proof" even Gorilla glass 3 is not scratch proof and if you think otherwise try with some sand.
do we install Xtremeguard over original or do we have to remove the factory installed 'shatter-film' first?
Few days after buying I went to the store and looked at the display model screen bcoz and ithe screen definitely had quite a few scrathes and keep in mind that its only being handled not shoved into pockets etc. So I immediately got scratch gaurd. so get a scratch gaurd and don't trust the manufacturers when they tell you it's scratch resistant or scratch proof.

Scratch resistance is total BS
How do you guys even believe this?
Sure one screen can be more, or even much more scratch resistant then the other but no matter what all screens will scratch.
Take some beach sand, put it on your screen and go rub it on the table! Even glass scratches, sure a metal key wont do it, but grains of dust will which have sand in them.
Not using a screen protector simply means you dont care about scratches. In the end when the screen is on, its very hard to see them.
Personally i do not remove the plastic cover the screen comes with until i have a screen protector in hand, ready to apply!
Hey guys it scratch resistant not scratch proof moreover theres a extra screen protector thats shatterproof its very thin almost un noticeable and it isnt scratch resistant hence there are many scratch. Theres one in front one in back hard to peel off and notice but its there believe me

I have applied a tempered glass screen protector on my Xperia Z Ultra.... perhaps the one I'm using is not of a good quality, it still attracts fingerprints and I find the responsiveness of the touchscreen has become worse, and the screen seems to become more reflective to sunlight than before... A bit regretful for putting this on as I don't feel much improvements over the previous plastic screen protector I was using...
sorry for you dude...please tell us the brand..so that we wont buy it..thanks for the heads up
Wow that sucks I just ordered mine yesterday. Both front and back I hope I don't regret it.

I just ordered one off eBay for the back. I spent money on the front and got the Armorz one. pricey but fits perfectly. attracts smudges to a degree but wipes clean with ease. hopefully the eBay back one I ordered doesn't suck. lol

Same as when I placed one on my ZXU. The brand I bought was Glas.m. It was a total waste of money to tell you the truth. The idea is nice but it just made the XZU screen loose sensitivity. Very noticeable in drawing apps and fps games. I have since removed the front Glas.m and used a regular matte screen protector. I still used the back Glas.m though protector though.

Mine is a Glass.M too ... not impressed at all ...
I got the Glass.M too, and I think it's a verry good protector.
Love the touch sensitivy, no loss on touchscreen at all, there are so much less fingerprints.
However, I think about removing the back one. It make my phone slide on every surfaces. If it's not perfectly horizontal it'll will slide slowy and fall ^^
My phone never fall at all, but since I applied this on the back it falls 4 times
Plus : Having glass.m on the both sides prevents me to use DK30
so I got the glass back piece in and it actually went on with no problems and fits rather well. now what surprised me was as I was applying it, the name brand Armorz front glass got all scuffed up. I was under the impression that it was 9H, yet simple sliding around on regular plastic topped computer desk would scratch it like crazy. I guess it can take a drill bit and razor blades but is not match for dust particles. lol *whomp whomp*

ARMORZ Stealth Extreme R Tempered Glass
Hi guys,
I applied ARMORZ tempered glass over the peeled LCD (yes, I did remove the protection layers). The Xperia Z Ultra, differs from the Z1 by a thin layer of tempered glass between the LCD and the plastic shatter-proof layer. The best way to remove both layers is to apply a lot of heat to the screen and use a very sharp tool like a snap-off cutter (I used the blade alone).
The difference with this astonish hi quality screen protector is huge! Whole new experience!
Hope it help to decide others to encourage and remove the original screen protector.
Regards
Please list out all the company making tempered glass and screen protectors here

I have only seen muvit tempered glass for Z2 on mobilefun.
Anyone have any experience with that brand on any other phone. I use the Nilkin tempered glass on my Z1 and I am really happy with that so hoping Nilkin will release for Z2 as well.

Are you keeping your Z Ultra once the Z2 is released? I'm debating if I should keep it or not.
I've always used Zagg HD version and never had issues. Does anyone know if any of the listed screen protectors as well as the tempered glass are waterproof? This device is water resistant so say i spend some time with under water pictures. Will i have to worry that my screen protector will fall off?
What's the benefit of putting a tempered glass screen protector on top of a glass phone? Glass on glass?

I would bet they are water resistant, at least to a strong degree. The benefit is the same when using a screen protector: that you don't damage the original glass. Also its real glass, so it retains the feel of glass.
Nilkin had me at "Curved edge". Gonna be ordering one
Just ordered one to Germany. But i have chosen registered mail for 2$.

Umm, I have two questions.
1. Since its glass and not plastic sheet, doesn't it add extra weight to the device?
2. Is it crystal clear? I usually order these.
http://www.clarivue.com/sony-d6502-xperia-z2-ultra-clear-screen-protector
They have glass ones tho, although a bit more expensive, but I don't really care about the price.
http://www.clarivue.com/sony-d6502-xperia-z2-xt-tempered-glass-screen-protector-cover
Edit : Make that 3 questions, 3rd would be, is the protector for both back and front or front only?
My Nillkin came in yesterday, bit disappointed in the rear protector. I thought it would be the same as the front, I guess I'll have to order something better for the rear like a wet mount one.

I haven't seen it off of the backing paper yet being that I don't have the phone yet. It has the typical green/blue hue on the edges that you normally see on clear glass(which really isn't clear), so it's technically not crystal clear. Being that it's so thing I'm sure it's effectively clear.
Which one shall I get?

Hmm, just wanted to know if it'll affect the screen clarity in anyway. I like screen protectors which act like they're not even there when it comes to viewing the screen.
Guys i bought Nilkin from dx-box they sent me for Z1C then they told me they were gonna send again for Z2.I bought magnetic charging cable as well from same place and they sent me again wrong one for Z1.Be aware about this website.
I looked at that nilkin glass screen protector and I looked at the pictures and it looks like there are no cutouts for the front facing speakers. Isn't that going to muffle the sound or damage the speakers?

Isn't the magnetic cable the same for the Z1 and Z2?
Also, is there anyone selling just a non-glass rear protector for the Z2? I like those because it makes the back more grippy and makes me less concerned about setting it down anywhere. I don't like front protectors.
I was wondering if someone found a front AND back set with tempered glass? Couldn't find any. I currently have this on my Z1:
http://theglass-m.com/products/glass-m-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-sony-xperia-z1
Have anyone who installed tempered glass and put it into water, will it peel off and unable to stick to the screen??
I gonna buy Z2 so i need dual layer of tempered glass for front and back. I do search online but unluckily there is nothing show for dual layer(front and back).
I took off my stock screen protector a while ago and installed a tempered glass screen protector since the stock glass has no oleophobic coating and feels a little sticky. Well my screen protector chipped so I removed it and applied a coat of rain x. It feels great! Still slightly more sticky than gorilla glass but much better than the stock glass. I applied some to the back glass too just for protection under my case. The glass is more shiny and attracts fingerprints less. Any fingerprints are wiped off easier. I highly recommend using rain x instead of a screen protector after removing the stock layer. Now I'm pissed that I spent so much on those stupid screen protectors that are hard to apply perfectly and chip/crack after a few months.
..exactly what tempered screen protector did you buy? You have a link?
Great idea!!
Might use this on my new mobile phone, as I am looking to upgrade to this model.

I started with the one everyone on here recommends, m-glass. I got some crap under the front glass so I ordered the explosion proof front protector off amazon. The front protector chipped near the microphone after a few months and when I removed my case I noticed the m-glass back had cracked. The glass protectors feel nice but are too expensive and not durable imo.

And I put them over the screen, without taking off the film.
Screen is very responsive, so impressed.

Not sure if you want to be in regular contact with those chemicals: http://goo.gl/yLmN1d
Known eye irritant.
May want to consider something less toxic like http://goo.gl/le5xtW if you want to go down this road.
So, I did this. Looks like a lot of forums have threads about Rain-X yielding positive results.
I also found this post and followed one of the comments.
Not sure if its available everywhere, but for glass coating I use Gtechniq G5. It lasts way longer than Rain X.
Applying is the same for both, tho.. The trick is to clean the screen as good as possible, and use something alcohol-based to make the surface free of residue from the cleaners. Put some G5/Rain X on a cotton patch and apply it in a THIN layer on the glass in "up and down" movements (not circular). Let it sit for a while (2-5min), then apply a new layer the same way on top of the previous layer and let that sit for a while again. Use a clean hot water-moist microfiber cloth to buff it off, and a dry one after.
Let the glass cure for a couple of hours (NO TOUCHING), and your good to go. The G5 coating should last for at least 6 month, and your glass screen should be resistant to dust and fluids. MUCH easier to clean too!

Nice! I'm in need of another coat of Rain-X, it definitely wears off. Let us know if you try the G5.
I've just bought a nilkin tempered glass screen cover for my z2. I'm currently using the standard screen protector which came with the phone. Which has in its own right held out well and been the best screen protector I've had on a phone.
Opinions?.. Leave the standard one on until it gets a major scratch etc on it, or put the tempered nilkin glass on?

Ive left my phone in my poket with my keys quite alot and its fine
Front isnt bad nor too hard to protect, the screen protector that comes with Z2 is there to stop the surface from being damaged , its not super amazing but it does its job
The back glass scratches super easy so you may want to find a screen protector for the back
Simple words:
Front is fine, light screen protector will do
Back is super easy to scratch, recomend any protector
I have standard protector on front and one on back too. I also have it in the Sony scr10 flip case.
Gives good protection for front and back whilst in pocket, especially at work!
I've thought about getting a different case (non flip) hence extra protection for front with tempered glass?
