I got my moto 360 v2 today. The quick guide says "...remove the plastic film from the back of the watch and charge...". On my brandnew moto 360 v2 there was just a plastic film on the front which could be removed easily. But the backside just looks like glass without "plastic film".
Questions:
Is there a plastic film on the back?
If yes, how to remove it?
Or is quick guide just wrong?
Maybe a stupid question... But i don't want to scratch backside trying to remove a "plastic film" which is not there

Mine did not have too, please don't try to remove a slice of glass
my watch did have it. I missed that part of the instructions and found out what happens if you don't remove the film. if you don't remove it, the watch either fails to charge or does so super slowly....
I remember removing mine like three days after i got it.
I also have this doubt
Mine did have one and it's very easy to see. This is what it looks like.
Hm, not on my watch... On front yes but nothing on back.
Mine came in a Motorola tape sealed box and no back film in sight. Just the front film.
Mine had it. It was impossible to see and hard to find an edge to pull it off, but I finally got it to lift a bit and was able to pull it off. I'm betting it's there and you just don't see it yet.
My Moto 360 Sport had it. There was a bubble in mine so it was easy to see but otherwise without this thread if it was on perfectly i certainly could see how people wouldn't know. It is tricky to remove.
This is sad, trying to identify that dammit plastic, I mistaken and took a bit the plastic back part using a little hole in the back. Don't do it, you are going to open the rear side of the clock and letting the circuits open.
Motorola should be more explicit about the dammit plastic.

dose anyone know how to remove the hard film from the sony x10 comes already with the phone ...
You mean the stock screen protector?
Yeah, it's a pain as it's so thick that it's hard to remove. I just used my nail to try to lift a corner (took a while). Once I was able to raise enough to get a grip on it, I was able to grab the lifted corner and pull it right off.
Now I have a beautiful Clear-Coat protector instead.

I know SE shipped a spare screen protector in with the X10s in some regions. That was in addition to the stock screen protector they had factory installed. So if that was the case for you and you applied the spare, then yeah you would've had 2 installed.
Haven't heard of them applying 2 at the factory, but I wouldn't be surprised if a few slipped through like that.

Yeah, I figured the same thing and thus also went only with the screen film. Application is easy, and the film is ultra-thin.

I hadn't noticed it already came with one until reading a post on xda, so made me chuckle as I'd stuck on another one too.
Kinda late but I'll give in my 2 cents on how to remove the factory installed cover.
All we are trying to do is to remove the cover so we'd want something rigid but not hard/sharp enough to scratch up or break the screen. The best solution that I was able to come up with is to use a plastic knife (I'm sure you can find one in a plastic children's cutlery set). I used a Zespri Kiwifruit Spife
Next, using the plastic knife, attempt to scrape up one of the corners. This took me about 5 tries for me (about 4 seconds). When that's done, use the knife to prise/scrape up as much of the protector as you need to grasp it and pull it off.
The razor is the best tool for lifting the cover up
Why bother removing the stock screen protector if you don't mind me asking? Especially if it's in good condition.
Does the performance of the touch screen improve? Is it still better than stock if you remove the factory protector and add that clear coat one?
I took the protector off because it was all scratched up. Didn't put another one on. The screen is very very tough. No scratches at all so far

lol, i think noone's trying to answer the OP's question. I got my stock screen protector removed with my nails and a flat plastic like a guitar pick or something. It takes a lot of patience and time...it took me about half an hour just to get a corner up, but once you get the corner it shouldn't be that hard to pull it out. Hope it helps
awesome my screen got scratched the other week and read this post and removed film lol

Well I did it yesterday. Just used a Stanley blade really really carefully on bottom right corner. then it was easy as pie. I scratched my screen with the combination of sand and a hardcase, it made awful marks on it. So gettin rid of the old fabric screen protector was needed.

The oleophobic coating on my phone started to wear off and an ugly stain is left at the bottom corner of the front panel. I came across this fusso product and wondering if it possibly can cover and hide the part with no coating on the screen? Also I am not sure if at all it can be applied directly on the ASF or it is meant for glass surfaces only?
Maybe you can advise me with any solutions?
By the way my phone is only like 10 days old and I baby it.. it's just ridiculous.

yes I can help
you got 2 solutions.
-Take it off original screen protector. (I know it's a pain for you but it is a choice)
-Buy another screen protector and put it on top. Stain WILL disappear.
My recommendation for you is GearMaxx (front and back). That is a top of the line product.
I have removed the original screen protector (which is a pain). Tomorrow I will receive my Glass-M screen protector and try it out. It's supposed to have very good fingerprint protection. A bit more expensive but seems like a good product.
Though I am also gonna order a bottle or two of the Fisso product you mentioned. Funny you mentioned it because I first saw it just a few minutes ago on another site. Also got good reviews I've seen. Albeit a tad expensive.

Oh removing the back protector on my old Z was a nightmare I don't want to go through that hell again ever. Putting a second protector on top looks like is the only opt to me for now as the Fusso coating is meant for glass surfaces only, maybe it will harm the protector or won't work properly idk.

I think it only works properly on naked glass so the protector has to be removed. Though indeed it was a pain and took me about an hour with acetone and knife. Though I miss the oleophobic coating a lot.

Just got it in the mail today. Install went smooth very simple to install. Glass it's thin but works great with my tpu case.
Came with alcohol pad
Fiber cloth
Hard card for bubbles
And glass
Feels like I have nothing on my phone, and so far I don't have any trouble with the screen recognizing my touch. And no problems with my tpu case with it on! Recommended it to anybody who can get their hands on it!

It really is. It's like I'm running the phone naked. The only time I'm reminded of it is when I go caseless.
Really? I have this and am not impressed at all. Yes it feels nice. Yes it installed very easily with no bubbles. What bothers me is the fit and without radii edges. It's very visible white edges. It's not even close to the edge of the glass and it doesn't cover the camera, LED, and light sensors. Replacements are on the way...
Yes maybe you got a bad batch. But I don't have any problems with rough edges. Mine doesn't fit all the way to edge but very very close but I like that it's like this because of my tpu case I didn't want it to rub up against it to lift it allowing dust in between the protector.
Which could be how they made it in the first place who knows!
Also yes the camera led and speaker aren't covered but it's so close to it that I don't see this area being scratched unless you are running without a case.

Yep, probably the very reason it doesn't fit the screen well.
I'm running a Spigen Slim Armor case, The cases bezel around the screen just covers the plastic edge of the phone, not the glass, which I like very much. I'm not a fan when a case covers glass because it can interfere with trying to select certain things on the screen. So it is more apparent when a screen protector doesn't quite go to the edge of the glass. The white edges and die cut around the camera, LED, and sensors make it that much worse too, unfortunately.
See mine was cut longer on the sides and the bottom so the only gap I have is the top part where they intentionally left uncovered.
Looks to me that there different batches with some weird cuts. You said you getting a replacement from them? Or did you mean you are ordering from a different company?

Hi,
I'm currently using a simple rubber case for the side and back. But, as it has few downsides, I have a question: is the case really needed? I want to hear from you, how this phone performs without the case, does it scratch, or damage easily?
Thanks for any helpful replies.
I liked my phones how I like my women: naked. I didn't drop it once, so I can't tell you what damage it can take (although I'm pretty sure the glass might crack, but I'm not in the habit of dropping my phone), what I can tell you is that the back panel is easily scratchable, so I put a screen protector on it (only on the back). The screen is doing excellent by now, not a single scratch, although I might put a protector on it when the summer comes, I don't want any sand on the glass.
Depends, do you have any history of dropping phones? We all have different cases, some people drop their phones often, some do not. Also, there are a huge variety of cases for the z2, mine is a very thin 0.3mm case which feel good in hand, but doesn't provide that much protection.
Regarding the scratches, I can confirm that some cases scratch the back if there are dust and dirt trapped inside.
In my opinion yes, if u are not a rich man like me. Atleast ill use a case for 1 - 2 years before ill naked my phone.
Sent from my D6503
Get a case if you dont like scratching the sides and the back of your phone. If you want to keep your phone slim with mediocre protection, you can try Spigen Ultra Fit. Im using it. Im happy with it as it has protected my phone from falls before, like 3 times, without any damage or scratch. Bulky ones arent my type. I keep my phone on my side pocket. Been using this phone for 7 months, not a scratch! Im just lucky or very cautious. Good luck!
It's not really needed, but I think it's worth the money because of the added protection.
For those that have used a case, have you also used a screen protector? Plastic or tempered glass?

You might wanna consider a case that can lift up the back slightly. I didn't use a case, but 2 weeks later, I scratched the camera lens already. So I really suggest using a case

I don't use a case, because until now I believed in dragonglass. Unfortunately something scratched the back of my phone. Although Xperia devices are very good, next time I'll use a case.
I bought my phone and used it without a case for nearly one week. I was so stressed that it could slip and broke the front or back glass, then I bought a cheap but efficient hybrid case, it has like rubber and hard plastic covering the back.
Also, my phone now looks black, as it is white and I don't like that color.

Hello,
im not using my X with any case and recently saw that my back lens is really, reallly scratched. I cant understand why Sony did not use glass to protect it. Any idea how to remove this scratches?
http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58db60c5c607c/IMG_20170329_092200739.jpg?
It's not glass? It feels like it.. weird, I thought all of the X series were with glass lens. I have no scrathes nor in the lens nor on the screen (actually in the screen there are 2 super small invisible scratches you can view only with a specific angle under bright sun, other than that, it's like new. Been using a flip case and now ordered screen protectors and a good TPU. You got your lens TERRIBLY f*cked up, how did you manage to do that? and the metal is scratched too, right? I suggest you get a TPU now to prevent more damage. I don't think you can fix it, and I don't recommend the toothpaste DIY "trick" since chances are it won't do anything and paste will get stuck in the gap between the lens. I do suggest you to find lens in ebay and replace them yourself, or if you haven't rooted and still have warranty ask what they can do about it in a local store. Can't be very expensive...
What did you do in the end? I had this phone for little over a week, and the camera is full of scratches.
Did you contact Sony? Did they repaired the phone? Or have you removed the scratched layer with alcohol/toothpaste?
I've owned many, many phones over the years, some with a plastic lens. This is the first time I've seen my camera so scratched.
Just by looking at the pic, I'm pretty sure the protective plastic camera has not been removed yet..
This is old people, and I highly doubt OP will reply. Whoever says their lens are getting scratches either didn't remove the plastic cover or you are doing something VERY wrong. Phones aren't meant to be placed on rocks or something. Other than that, I have not idea how you scratch it and it looks like glass to me. The X series phones after the z5 were all upgraded with glass lens.

There's no protective plastic on my lens, and it scratches with jeans denim, I've tested it. I own phones with actual plastic lenses, and they do not scratched by fabric. My guess is there are some units where the antiglare layer on the camera lens have some kind of defect.
Before the "you're using it wrong" argument: no. My phone is in pristine condition, it does not have any marks of use anywhere but the camera. It was never near any rough surface. My 2.5 years old Moto E2 plastic camera lens is in a much better condition.
