Does the Z2 have a Gorilla glass screen or any other similar toughening of the glass? I cant find it on the specs or any reviews.

The glass of Z1 is anti-scratches and works excellent after peeling the ASF off.
The Z2 comes without ASF. So I think it will be better.
The glass material has not been mentioned in the Z2 reviews.

Strange that there's absolutely no mention of the glass spec on the Z2. As theres no mention of it anywhere I wonder if Sony has cheapened out this time round..
Im just wondering how far I need to go with protecting the screen. Usually if its Gorilla glass or something similar then I dont bother with protection. Oh well we will see!
does xperia z2 need screen protector ? what happens if we use it ?
thnx
Im not using a screen protector and i havent noticed any scratches yet
Nothing happens when you use one, phone acts normal

never for front, i only use film for the back
As after one week of use I get a little micro scratch on my screen, I put a Spiegel glass on it and now I'm very happy with it! the screen still respond very well, and the oleophobic coating of the spiegel if far better than Sony's one.

Yes and nothing if you purchase a quality known brand.

Unlike the Z1, the Z2 does not have a screen protector anymore.
I'm looking around and can only find ones for the Z2 tablet.
Has anyone found one online that they are happy with, or do they even exist? After owning the tablet for a year and a half I was finding the film that's already on there too scratched up and difficult to keep clean so I pulled it off finally. Felt good. Now if I can find a tempered glass protector like the one I'm using on my phone I'd be happy.
I have one from Amazon and i'm happy with it. It's a little bit smaler, but it's OK
@chaot88 : can you provide the link ? i also interested in buying Tempered glass for Tablet Z , but i couldn't find the T.H for XTZ :/
You've obviously misunderstood me. I bought a tablet Z2 Tempered Glass, as both devices are almost as large. The Tempered Glass is only slightly smaller, but with a slim case you see it no more

If you don't mind, would you be able to measure the size of the glass? I'm wondering how much difference there is in size between the z2 and original Z tablets.
You can look at the sonymobile Website under products/tablets The glass has the size for z2 tablet

can you post a photo? I want to see how big the gap is.. :highfive:
I've ordered one for the Z2 off of ebay. I'll post some pictures on here once it arrives in case anyone is still wondering if this will fit with the Z tablet.
@tinodevoe I just put on the XTZ2 tempered glass on my XTZ and it looks good enough for me. Totally unnoticeable unless you are trying to look for the gaps. Only thing I'd say is bad is the cut out for the camera is off but not big deal. I prefer my camera covered by glass protector when possible anyways so it won't scratch in front of the lens making the image come out funny. Check out pictures I've attached.
http://www.amazon.com/Tempered-Prot...et+glass&pebp=1421820700710&peasin=B00PHD0D4I
I would notice the cut-out for the camera, and I think it would bother me. The gap on the edge of the screen looks quite 'large'
Just got the tempered glass just now . Installed it and it looks really nice ! .. in my opininon , the camera hole and the gap really doesn't interrupt my view . Sure it is not 100% great .. but it is the perfect alternative way to get Tempered glass for Xperia tablet Z
here i attach some images with and without casing >;
With case >

:good: I ordered this one and have it on my Tablet Z as pictured above and below, fits great even though its for the Z2 Tablet..Installation was a breeze...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QY9LOKG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
The camera hole does not line up but I barely notice, and if you have a case its not noticeable at all ..
Trust me get a tempered glass screen, you won't regret it...
I also recommend this case as well, it looks great and all the ports are open for easy access...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B4D0COG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Its so much easier keeping the screen clean as well, no more greasy film or streaks , response time is excellent as well, no noticeable lag of any kind....
That hole is not for camera, it`s for the light sensor. The Z4 tablet has its light sensor about the same place as Z. Only the Z4 is smaller.
I stand corrected..
I was not paying attention to what I was typing....
After several months with this screen protector I am still quite pleased....no scratches of any kind thus far....
I picked these up on Ebay for my Zuk. Tempered glass fits well to edge of screen, and the back cover fits perfect as well, and recesses the buttons slightly to prevent accidental presses.

There's a Nillkin tempered glass screen protector. Seems very robust. I ordered it together with that case (not the one you get with case) and I'll tell you my opinion when I get it.

Okay I am really not all that worried about it. But I look forward to your opinion, and how are you going to compare it to what I have?
I bought this screen protector:
http://www.yeso521.com/nillkin-zuk-z1-h-glass-screen-protector.html
Quick delivery and very good quality, it fits like a glove! I can only recommend it!
Any recommendations for tempered glass screen protectors (with front camera cutouts)? The one I ordered with my phone was broken during delivery :/
I bought this along with the phone:
http://www.honorbuy.it/435-pellicola-protettiva-in-vetro-temperato-per-zuk-z1.html
Don't buy it as it reduces the touch screen quality dramatically. It got into the bin after few hours.

I have to agree with you there, I also got the film screen protector with my Nillkin case, maybe that would work better than glass?
Applying tempered glass
I just got a tempered glass protector but my issue is the screen protector that came with the phone is so difficult to remove! Any ideas because I am eager to put on the tempered glass.

Screen protector? My phone didn't come with one.
I hope you aren't trying to peel off the white coating or something.
I just got my Nillkin case. Here's a few pics: http://imgur.com/a/OWkaX
The case fits the phone quite nicely and barely adds any bulk. The back has a nice texture on it which makes the phone slightly less slippery. There was a also a plastic screen protector included in the package.
I also got this case: http://www.zukmobile.cc/lenovo-zuk-z1-smart-phone-case-black-green.html
It feels slightly flimsier than the Nillkin case and the material isn't as hard. The surface has a soft feel to it.
It also came with a screen protector.
You can get one by gearbest for 6$
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-...-Mobile-Accessory-For-Lenovo/32449063653.html
I've tried this, not very good or I was just unlucky, the glue stayed under the making it impossible to stick to the screen.
Any good and cheap recommendation?
!!

Actually the old avatar (New England Revolution) is within the current one.
I do see SuperShieldz has one on eBay and Amazon for the XA2 Ultra.

Sadly it has black on the top and bottom which hides the nice blue color of my XA2 Ultra. Hopefully they will do a clear one soon.

Oh, cool! Huh, I looked on SuperShieldz's website directly and at first I thought I found them but then I noticed it was for the XA1. I wonder if there's a chance it's fake - maybe someone repackaged a different brand into their packaging? Seems strange that it can be found there but not Amazon or from the manufacturer directly.
Hopefully within a short period of time they'll have a clear one for you.

Supershieldz has it listed on their site now. Amazon now says they are being shipped by Supershieldz themselves as well so that assures to me it's the real deal on Amazon.

Looking at other Sony devices it doesn't appear that Supershieldz has a clear one for those. I suspect the XA2 Ultra will be the same in those regards sadly. Hopefully Intelliarmor does a clear one.

Well, that's good, thanks for the heads up! Yeah, hopefully, Intelliarmor will. I'll probably go ahead and order one or two of these. I have the black phone.
Edit: Ordered the Supershieldz, should receive it next week.
You don't need tempered glass on your phone, gorilla glass is much more stronger than any tempered glass. If you drop your phone with a tempered glass on and the tempered glass shatters, that doesn't mean gorrila glass would break without the screen protector. s8 breaks easily on the corners and sure it has gorrila glass 5 wich is 2x stronger than the 4 but the corners are curved a lot wich results in a less surface for the force to spread so all the force is stuck at that corner resulting in a crack.
xa2 and xa2 ultra don't have those really curved edges so you should be fine.
Btw if you really want one, get a curved tempered glass otherwise it won't spread all the way over the glass or it will not stick at the sides resulting in less visibility at those sides (experiences)
I am seeing a few more glass protectors on amazon but most have terrible ratings. Can anyone give a review of their experience with temp. Glass on this device?
Sidenote: Dave thanks for the info!

I haven't put my Supershieldz yet on because I was waiting to get a case, and I had accidentally ordered a case for the non-Ultra XA2. Was able to return it but I'm waiting until I have $25 more I want to buy from Amazon before ordering the right cheap case.
I read in a couple of places that some of the glass protectors have only rim of adhesive securing the temp. glass to the phone. This has stopped my quest so far.
Yesterday I picked up a "Kristall Nano protector" this is one of those liquid protectors claiming a "Hardness 9 H". One of the employees at conrad showed me that hes using this currently. The screen felt like glass and looked perfect. 100% clarity w. No rainbow effect etc. It doesnt replace the strength of a glass protector but for now will help prevent scratches.
I had another idea for those feeling adventurous... why not use this nano stuff as the adhesive for the other protectors.
I assume that this will increase the protection level and fill the airgaps.

My experience with ultra screen protectors
First of all, let me say that the assumption that the gorilla glass itself is scratch resistant is just not true in reality, no matter what Sony claims. From my first tablet z all the way to this new xa2 ultra, all of my Sony phones collected visible scratches without a screen protector. Just search YouTube to see for yourself how easily the screen of xa2 ultra gets scratched by simple contact with keys and coins.
When I got my ultra XA two years ago I searched for a good screen protector and the best I could find was a tempered glass which left about 2 mm unprotected on each side of the screen. That's where the curvature of the LCD glass on XA ultra starts. Also I found a "curved" screen protector for XA which was really a piece of hardened plastic (not tempered glass) bent on the sides and it only had adhesive around the edges. So despite the fact that it covered the whole LCD, because there was no adhesive under The Protector, there was an air gap everywhere between the protector and the glass which made the clarity quite low.
The situation for xa2 ultra is even worse because the actual curvature of the LCD starts about one centimeter from the edges. So no flat protector including the ones with the 2 millimeter gap on the sides will properly adhere to the glass. I tried one that I ordered on eBay and as you can see in the picture there are major strips of air gaps on both sides. I haven't tried any curved protectors yet so it would be nice if someone who has used them comments here. I have ordered film screen protectors which I should receive soon. And because they're not rigid I'm hoping they will naturally stick to the sides of the screen. I will post pictures here once I receive them.
Update: I received the film screen protectors. The situation is similar to the tempered glass, albeit no as bad: it still leaves about 2 mm unprotected on each side, and the air gaps are still there but they are only about 2mm in width.
Summary: I am yet to find a proper full LCD protector for this phone.

Actually a small update. I've found out that I've actually lost it! I don't know when I don't know how and why.
Now I've got a ****ty tiny plastic protector. Couldn't find anything reliable.

Hello All!
Did anyone find good solution for screen protection:
- cover the whole LCD
- good contact with screen (no air)
- reliable enough
?
