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

thats a screen protector for the regular xperia z. its misleading in the title as the name of the glass is ultra glass. lol i know armorz is supposed to be coming out with one but they havent replenished stock yet. the armorz one is a bit pricey though. you could also find plenty of them on ebay for pretty cheap. i had planned on getting a tempered glass screen protector, but purchased a warranty instead.
I have the glass-m.
It's really good, easily the best protector I"ve used for the Ultra (the gearmaxx being the worst, then another plastic one which was much better).
Very few fingerprints, hardly ever need to clean it...
Looks very nice. Feels great.
At first it felt like I lost some screen sensitivity, but now I'm not so sure...
I too own a Glass-M on my S4, great screen protector! Feels a thousand times better then the shatterproof sheet. (Even a generic plastic screen protector i have on the ZU is better anyway)
My choice, for Ultra:-
(1) Armorz Stealth Extreme R Tempered Glass:
Pros - round edges
Cons - 0.4mm thickness
(2) SGP GLAS.t Slim Tempered Glass:
Pros - 0.26mm thickness
Cons - sharp edges / not available yet
I am tempted to go for the Glass-M one for $31.50.
http://theglass-m.com/collections/f...-glass-screen-protector-for-sony-xperia-ultra
I still have the easy peel-off screen film on my Z Ultra....do I simply peel them off then apply the Glass-M ?
What is the shatterproof cover I hear people talking about ?
Thanks guys

I bought my on ebay from china it have not got it yet. Maybe I will get it today. It has been at least 15 days.
I bought a tempered glass protector off eBay (from China) as well. It arrived cracked. I contacted the seller, and they sent me a replacement. It took 17 days to arrive, and when I opened the package, it too was cracked! I'm now going to try my luck with the the Glass-M. I'm dying to use a pen/pencil on this thing but wont until I put a tempered glass screen protector on...
I'm a little irritated by how quickly Note 3 accessories became available - including tempered glass protectors. Seems like most of the big names (spigen?) wont be making tempered glass for the ZU....
do you need to remove the standard shatterproof film on the ultra to apply this glass-m protector? In some cases, Sony voids warranty upon removal of this layer.
Has anyone added the glass-m on top of the layer, and does it affect touch sensitivity? certain screen protectors make the screen go crazy, registering random touches.
very interested in the glass-m, but would like to clear up some quesitons first

Unless you remove it, it's applying a tempered glass protector on top of a plastic glass reinforced protector. So you can imagine how the touch would like that combo...
As stated. Removing the shatterproof protection is a pain. But it is totally worth it. I've never had this level of protection and comfort at the same time on any mobile device before.
Tapatalked from my Sony Xperia Z Ultra
Touch is not affected by the tempered glass. Using it with a pencil or any metal object registers as if nothing is on top of the screen. I'll post the photo of the brand of my tempered glass.as I forgot already.

Just ordered the Glass-M from here http://theglass-m.com/collections/f...-glass-screen-protector-for-sony-xperia-ultra
Hopefully all goes well and I will receive my order in pristine condition. I need this cause I just realize that there is a deep scratch on the generic screen protector that I bought from the telco.
Finally got my Glass-M. the size is smaller than the screen so its not difficult to align with your device. There is a problem with it though, the edges of the glass-m doesnt seem to stick to the device properly. I have it under a hardbound book right now in hopes of make it stick properly.
did you put it on top of your stock screen protector? or took it out?

Removed it. Can't stand it not sticking properly and also making the device less sensitive especially on fps games. I originally placed it on top of the ASF. Now I'm just waiting for my screen to be scratched then I'll remove the ASF to finally touch the glass o this phone.

On mobile....
Sounds like glass4m does not have together...
I ordered the front protector for my Z Ultra, they sent me the back. Almost 3 months have passed and they have replied once to my mails but have not corrected the issue.
Watch out, having an issue after the purchase may just leave you in the cold.

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.

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

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).
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!

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 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.

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