Anybody here knows a quality tempered glass for the back of the Z5P that has a special coating to avoid fingerprints? I have the Chrome version and I don't like to put on a case but don't want to have scratches as well that's why I'm looking for a good back tempered glass

Impossible, the mirror effect makes even more the fingerpoints.., i tested lot of glass tempered for black and nothing.. its all the same
So the question is, why isn't anyone making a frosted glass back? Yeah we lose the shiny back which is kind of the fingerprint hell itself.
you can try finding them on ebay,some chinese sellers have frosted screen protectors (not glass) for front and back.
personally i have been using frosted ones since my hd2 days,saves the headache of having to wipe smudges and fingerprints.
it may not look nice but its a hell lot nicer than have fingerprints all over the damn screens.
Doesn't have to be tempered glass if you don't want fingerprints. Try finding a matt foil, it should be easier.

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.

...okay..... there is not much details to judge if either you handled the product wrong or if its a design fault
Myself I have the mocolo instead http://glass4m.com/collections/sony/products/mocolo-for-sony-xperia
Before and still I have coated my glass with http://gtechniq.com/shop/3s-for-cars/kits/g1-g4-clearvision-screen-kit/

Just put illumishield screen protectors front and back on my Z Ultra, looks good, except for detritus and bubbles underneath.
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.
Any particular tempered glass screen protector on ebay better than another? Thanks
I had skinomi tempered glass, it was awesome, very good against fingerprints
Thanks. Was it easy to apply without bubbles?
Every glass screen protector is easy to apply without bubbles. I've tried 5 different ones.
Carefully place it down, align it with something, i used a small screwdriver, then just push it down in the middle with your finger.
The only tricky part is to clean your screen good before applying. Any so small dust particle will be seen if not removed.

Yes, no bubbles at all
I have the spigen 9H tempered glass protector and it's awesome, no finger-steps, no scratches, zero bubbles, ultra resistant and it's work great ( no lag ) with the note's pen! You have lots of review at youtube.
Only have a negative point, the price, but it's ok, it's only one time you buy them
I've used 2 tech armor glass protectors on different phones, both worked perfectly.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111225255839?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Been using one of these for about ten months. The anti finger print was still good. There were some tiny scratches, but only seen at the right angle and the right lightning (but only when the screen was turned off !)
But i work in a forging factory, so that was expected, because of the steel dust. And i use my phone 24/7.
I even dropped it two times face down from my hand while standing. There was just a dent on the plastic rim of the phone.
So in my experience a very very good protector for a small price. And you get all you need for the installation, even a nice home button sticker.
I bought two more, just for the sake of it.
Nillkin H tempered glass, or if you want 2.5D rounded edges glass like the note 4 then Nillkin H+
I'm using the normal H (not 2.5D) and it's amazing. It actually feels better than original glass, very soft touch + no scratches so far.
I'm recommending.
Most of the screen protecors I have used have been garbage. I hate the peel ones becauase some small piece of dust always seems to get trapped under them. The ones where you use water to stick them are pretty cool, but I haven't found any that are amazing. What I'm looking for is a screen protector that isn't a fingerprint magnent, but also one that is easy to install. Any suggestions?

Have you tried note 3 tempered glass screen protector? They are amazing and easy to apply.
I have a tempered glass screen that I haven't put on yet. They sound good, but I'm worried about two things: the screen being a fingerprint and smudge magnet and if a case would be able to go over the phone with a tempered glass screen.
I have one that I haven't used yet because I am worried about a few things:
Will it attract fingerprints and smudges and will a case be able to fit the phone with that particular screen protector?
I can highly recommend the Nillkin 9H tempered screen protector. It costs around ₹800 here in my country (so should be around 12-13 USD/10 EURO) and it is an extreme value for money product. I really love mine.
Finger print magnet? I don't know! All the hard type screen protectors catch finger prints and smudges, I think, but I won't call it to the extent of being a magnet. With any tempered screen protector one thing a person should do, clean it whenever you get a chance.
If you're truly worried about fingerprints you may want to consider buying an oleophobic coating kit. It's a liquid/gel based coating that is fingerprint resistant. It's already applied to phones in the factory by default, but it wears off.
Most cases have no problem with tempered glass screen protectors.
Spigen is really good. I think they also have a fingerprint resistant one.

I want to buy screen protectors (for both front and back panel). Which is better plastic or tempered glass? What experiences have you got with them? And what manufacturers do you recommend? I want a screen protector that hasn't got large cuts around the camera, just a circle for the camera and another for the flash, and on the front also just a circle for the camera and another for the sensors.
I have the this Glass-M tempered protector. Both friend and back. Haven't had any issues with it for the last one year. The main advantage is that this is slim enough to work with the magnetic dock.

Tempered Glass is better for protection than film screen protectors.

If u are using a case, i recommed you the Nillkin 9H tempered glass. Come with the regular plastic for protecting the back and the camera lens. Why? If u are a case user, i dont think tempered glass back will fit ur case.
Honestly, they're all the same, I burnt through the lot of them, Nilkin, Pthink, Hero. They're all the same, I see no difference in quality and durability. I think the Pthink was most resistant to fingerprints, but not by much

I prefer matte/anti-glare screen protectors. Main reason, on glass and glossy plastic surfaces, after using for a while (15-20 minutes), my fingers start to "stick" to the glass. Not really stick, per se, but they don't glide as easily and I have to switch to a different finger. With a matte protector, I never have this issue. Also, they help cut down on reflections. There are draw backs of course. It makes the screen hard to see outdoors (but I rarely use my phone outdoors) and it does reduce brightness a little (but I don't really go over 30% or so when indoors anyway). And they do introduce a touch of graininess.
The best ones I have found are iLLumiShield and Anker. Though the Anker is the best I have used, it is not available on the Z2. I have tried many other matte films, but they all introduce too much graininess. And some affect touch response.
Here is the illumishield for the Z2. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IK46CTG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is the anker (not for the Z2 though) http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Hig...836544&sr=1-1&keywords=anker+matte+anti-glare

i bought the same tempered glass, no problem at all.
The camera has it's own cut and the back fits as it should..ask for a refund or a resend..
I've just upgraded from my first Android, a chunky and sturdy Samsung Mini 2, to Zuk Z1. Needless to say, I'm super-hyper-worried to scratch its screen. Tbh I don't like the cons of using a protection (less responsive touch? more oily screen?), but from what I've read it's not clear whether Zuk Z1 has Gorilla Glass. Although I'm a careful person, would you advise I buy a protection? If so should I choose a normal screen protector or tempered glass? Thanks in advance
Tempered glass for sure. I'm using those since 2 devices and they feel the same like the original glas.
And they are easy to apply
I bought my zuk z1 in India and seems like a tempered glass was preappllied. It's already there, factory fitted. Can you check to see if you already have one on?

I'm almost sure I don't have any tempered glass pre-applied. It would have been lucky :<
There is no tempered glass preapplied, maybe from that Indian seller but there is no protector.
Tempered glasses are scam. I have one on ZUK Z1. Slight bump and its already chipped. Various sites on the net prove that Tempered glasses do not help much with drops. Its just about scratches. IF you can, get one with oleophobic coating. The normal ones its annoying to remove the oil stains.
I'm using this one since 4 months and it's great in combination with bumper on backside:
https://www.amazon.de/Displayschutz...70167219&sr=8-1&keywords=zuk+z1+displayschutz
It's very easy to apply cause it's like a glass plate to lay on the display. The fingerprints are not as easy to wipe off like without the glass protector, but the reaction is as good as without, so better with protection [emoji106]

No, there's no tempered glass already pre-applied as you'd be able to see it next to home button aswell, not only by earphone. It's gorilla glass just poorly applied.
I recommend tempered glass as there's no 'plastic' feeling when using screen and it feels exactly same as original glass. Also if phone falls from non-extreme height there's big chance tempered glass will crack instead of screen.
