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.

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

Easy peel off... Dude you need too read more...
That shatter proof cover is the original screen protector and it's a pain in the ass to remove.

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.

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.

Hopefully that will not happen to me.
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?

Any updates? Did you remove the factory protector?
Thanks!
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.
S17 bucks down the drain...
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
:good:

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.
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.

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 >
Without 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....
Hello guys, just got a moto Z and I'm really loving it, but wanted to know how tough is it. I never really liked to use cases or screen protectors and never broke any screen like that, but the moto Z looks so thin and fragile that I'm kinda afraid to use it without a case and in a single drop crack the screen.
I came from a zenfone 3 max and Xperia t2 ultra, can I expect the same durability with the Z?
Thanks a lot
A plastic phone would be able to handle impact. A tight metal unibody phone will have a cracked screen when it falls. And if you buy a flagship phone(not a mid-range one), you should buy a tempered glass screen protector and a basic silicone case(look on Aliexpress, the Carbon fiber one is good and not too big/thick).
I, for example, bought 2 tempered glass protectors for 4$, the rugged case for 6$, 2 Dbrand skins( Dragon and Carbon fiber) for the back for 20$, Nillkin Ultra Thin for 5$ and Nillkin Frosted Shield for 5$ as well.
When I'm home, the phone is butt-naked(the skin on the back adds a lot of grip thanks to the texture). When I go out, I choose a case I feel like putting on that day.
You can do whatever you like but if you want a phone that will survive drops without a case, get a CAT smartphone, a cheap-feeling plastic smartphome phone or a NOKIA "dumbphone".
But to precisely answer: my Z fell from chest height and hit the metal chair leg(which is parallel to the floor). Not a single mark was left.
Check this out for durability:

I don't how you use it, but plain Moto Z (no mods, skins, bumper ,etc..) is a bit challenging to get a good grip on, so you might be looking at more drops ...
Thanks guys, I guess i'll just get a skin for a better grip. Again, thanks a lot
My device is new but I know all the tempered glass protectors are awful for this phone and dropped fast from the screen...
Whitestone dome is expensive for me.. but it was worth it?
I want good screen protector please.. glass is not good for this phone? maybe I need clear protector or matte? silicone?
UV light is a good option or the liquid water scratch the screen?
Please advices!!
Search on AlieExpress for Liquid Tempered Glass for Galaxy S9. You can even choose Case friendly or normal type of glass. Price is around 10$.

I'm using the Whitestone. It is expensive but if you do it right it will be the only one you need for the life of the phone. I have one on my s9+ and on my note 8. If you but an 800€/$/£ phone there is no reason to cheap out on a screen protector and case.
this whitestone is good? but I read of users that have bubbles after a few days of use..
why so expensive? durable for drops?
how is the warranty?
Bought a few protectors from aliexpress for about 1.5€ each. Finally managed to apply the third one correctly and its absolutely great. Will definitely not protect against drops and shattering but they do their jobs against scratches.

You can use any other tempered glass with UV glue, just as whitestone and avoid buying the expensive one, just use loca glue and a cheap (but good) tempered glass, google "DIY tempered dome glass for S9".
I ordered the Whitestone and installed it.. amazing screen protector I ever used..
I use the IQ Shield LiQuidSkin. It is relatively thin.
I use Crocfol screen protectors since ages. They're a foil so they go around the edges of S8 and S9 perfectly. Work as good as a tempered glass protector. Spigen has a similar product.
They're long lasting, self-reparing, don't take anything away from screen sensitivity. A bit pricey, around 25€ for a set with 2x front 1x protector plus something they call "liquid glass" which you can apply directly on the screen to eradicate micro scratches and seal your screen again, but absolutely worth it. I applied the first set immediately after my S9 arrived half a year ago and still have it on without it coming off around the edges or getting dull from scratches.
I had an accident and dropped my S8 full speed on concrete out of hand height, all it got was a tiny crack on the backside (2mm maybe). So if you don't like glass protectors this might be a very good choice for you.
I ordered the Spigen Neoflex
skinomi this is my go to screen protector. works with any case and when u scratch it it comes back to the original shape, more like gel on top though you don't notice it. It has life time warranty, easy to apply and the price is decent. all those aliexpress , ebay screens dont make sens any more. i mean you spend a 500 600 on a phone and you wont spend 10- 20 for something decent at least.
I used this and it works just like WhiteStone at a lower cost. Liked it so much I purchased two just in case.

I've got the supacase unicorn beetle. Has good case protection, very light and built in screen protector. Couldn't ask for much more.
Hi I ordered this screen protector and it seems nice ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Samsun...var=442089289527&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 )
Search term : "s9 tempered case friendly full glue"
It's very glossy, not fingerprint resistance but it sticks very well to the glass, bubble free (except the red circled areas ), and absolute no problem with touch responsiveness (I enabled touch sensitivity).
Now it's been about a week installed so drop, scratch and water resistance testings are not done yet
Works good easy to install no Fuss. www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F7M061/
I am really impressed with this $16 TGSP from Amazon, US.
[url]https://www.amazon.com/G-Color-Screen-Protector-Galaxy-S9/dp/B07MDBYBH3[/URL]
It is a full glue and was an easy install and feels better than the Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector that are on my and the wife's Note 9s. It does not show grease from fingers, like the Whitestone, either.
I wish they made it for the Note 9.
