included screen protector??

i just got my touch pro and have no idea how to apply the included screen protector...any help??

Generally speaking, this is the "standard" application method:
http://www.martinfields.com/video/Application.mpg
There are some tricks to help prevent air bubbles, such as this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewH-xONFN3Y
I went with a slightly different procedure I learned elsewhere. I filled a small bowl with about 1" of warm water, added a drop of mild, non-scented hand soap, and mixed it up so that there were few bubbles in the water. Placed the screen protector in the water to give it a good "wash" (to remove any dust). Then removed it from the water, shook off some of the excess drops, and applied it to the screen like normal.
The warm water made the film a bit more flexible which made it easy to squeeze out any trapped air, and the soap made it a slippery so it was easier to re-align. Once the protector was in place, I used a micro-fiber cloth to push most of the water drops out to the edge. There were a couple "dark" spots where water was still trapped, but they evaporated in about a day -- the important thing was to not have any air bubbles. The result:
Of course, you don't have to do something as complicated as I did. The real piece of advice is to just be very patient as you apply it.

im having a hard time separating the protector to reveal the adhesive side...i have been trying the last 30 mins with no luck at all only adding smudges to the protector and creasing it
someone plz help!!!!

Try to use your fingernails (if you have short fingernails, it's going to be a lot tougher). If that doesn't work, you can try a a super smal tear that will only rip a bit of the paper and not the protector.

i made a tear in the top part (above actual protecto) it seems like its only one layer...p.s. why does it include so many extra pieces of plastic??

Leant from a guy who applied for me in a shop in Hong Kong.
In addition to above mentioned tips, try to use sticky tape rather than your fingers to contact the screen protector.
You can also use sticky tape to stick out the dust.
When applying use something like a credit card to push bubbles out.

when i apply the screen protectors, i normally wash the adhesive side of the protector, then drop a few droplets of water on the screen; when you put the protector on the screen, you can then squeeze the bubble out with ease using credit card or just coin, and adjust the position to fit within 3 hours.

they should have included at least a PDAir type brand, not to mention a martin fields so that won't make our life like a living hell

I had completely no trouble applying the protector, without any soap or water.
It's a sticker... You just bend it in right direction, and the 'inner' plastic surface (protector itself) will pop off the base surface, leaving plastic frame around.
It's important no to place it flat on the device, but align one edge with screen edge, and while keeping it bent, apply evenly, going slowly from aligned edge to the other. No bubbles this way.
Even if you have bubbles, you can 'squeeze' them (move) to the side of screen and let them out.

Thanks to this thread, I discovered now that I also got these 2 included screen protectors in the package ;-)
Now, is it advised to apply both the protectors or only one?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw7oIv79lyY shows how this works.
I personally went one step further and put on latex gloves to avoid fingerprints and smudges. Also doing this in a damp/humid/steamy room like your bathroom helps avoid dust particles from swirling down onto the screen or the protector.
Hmmm... talk of condoms, latex gloves, and steamy rooms... let me just check if I'm still in the right forum!

such measures are not really necessary to apply a screen protector... i applied mine on a carpet in my room (which i havent clean in ages ), as long as you are careful, you can do it dust-free...
turn on the hot water in your bathtub, close the doors and vents, the room will be steamy in minutes. slap on the leather and bring out the whip, then you are set

Shall I pull the protector off the big plastic sheet so both sides get exposed to the water? Doesn´t the glue dissappear then?

Does the ATT FUZE come with the screen protector?

Hi:
Unfortunately I can't afford my new Fuze til next month, but I have been doing ALOT of reading up, so I'll be ready when I get it. I have seen many people say that a screen protector is included, same has been said in the reviews I have read online. You can also check out this unboxing video, where you can see the screen protector: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWNK2lXl9I4
Maybe you just missed it in the box, it is clear after all

Screen Protector - A Must?

How many of you are using a screen protector?
I just can't install this damn thing without making bubbles between the screen
and the screen protector.
Tried putting invisible shield today which covers the entire device. it came with
some spray to avoid dust but i'm still not happy with it. on the back it's ok, but
the front shield was so ugly and unclear that made me to remove it and now
i'm with no front protector at all.
The screen is more clear now but i'm afraid to scratch it.
Does anyone know how to install the screen protector in a way which it will be
totally unnoticeable?

I haven't ever used one, I find they make the screen less responsive. I do have a few scratches on my screen though but they are invisible when the screen is backlit...

Your screen protector is a must as scratches can appear on your screen very easily without it.
As for the bubbles I've managed to get mine on with only a couple of bubbles around the speaker & 3G camera. Doesn't bother me to much any more
Try this thread as it has a number of recommendations on which is the best screen protector to use

Yes, the screen protector is a must!
Especially for a device with such a huge display. I have read here about cracked displays and I am sure that screen protectors give added resistance against cracking (besides their primary function against scratches).
It takes PATIENCE to apply one though. I wasted 2 before i managed to put one flawlessly (well almost)
Some of the protectors can be washed and re-applied.

Do you really think it has some impact on the way the screen respond ? Does the screen protector makes the bends more noticeable when you press on the center of the screen ?

I've used my Universal for over 3 years with no scrren protector, and there is a mark in the top right where the X icon is but no other issues. However the Universal is a clam shell design so the scrren is protected when it's in my pocket. I don't think I'd want to use the HD without one.
I couldn't fit the screen protector that came with the HD properly because it has to be done with microscopic precision. However I bought 6 protecoter for £3 on Ebay from Ecell and am very happy. They're much easier to fit because they're a fraction smaller, plus you can use a couple to practice with and still have spares left over.

I use the protector from day one and I can't imagine not using it. It's just too much of a risk, and by watching my used protectors, how they're covered with scratches, some of them quite big and quite deep. I would not want to have this permanently on my screen.
I have bought some additional protectors as well. I predict I will be changing protectors every 3 or 4 months.
I have no idea why everyone seems to have so much problems with applying them. It was very easy for me to apply both the stock protector and the Brando protector. Just clean the front screen as thoroughly as possible with a piece of cloth that does not leave those small fabric hairs. I used a cleaning cloth for glasses, and put a few drops of window cleaning fluid as well to remove eventual grease.
After that it was piece of cake. Started at the top and just rolled down the protector in one smooth move. Had 1 bubble, which I simply pushed to the edge of protector until it was gone.
I reccomend you do all of this in a dust-free environment. Bathroom is a good place, for example. Let the dust settle for like 20 minutes before going in. Avoid rooms which have carpets and such stuff.

I used mine for the first month+ without the screen protector and sustained no scratches. I have one on now simply because one day I was putting stuff away, saw the screen protector, put it to my HD and it went on perfectly without trying, so I decided to keep it on.

GoldCoin,
Have you tried buying on from a phone shop and asking them to install?
I installed mine as soon as I removed the "do not sit down with the HD in your pocket warning" Best way to ensure that the screen is clean. Took a couple of attemps to get it started but a little effort and I got it. Left with a small bubble round the ear piece and one top right, but that looks like a slight defect in the protector as the alignment looks almost perfect.
When installing, I peeled back a portion of the protector and aligned it best I could - incidentally, I placed the HD back in the foam that it came in to hold it firm. Without peeling any more off I try to gauge the alignment. If I think is good to go, I slowly peel the backing whilst rubbing my finger back and forth across the area just stuck down.
Here's another suggestion. PSP Screen Protector installation
Good Luck,

Yes, it's a must!
I use a screenprotector and it has lot's of scratches on it, which otherwise would be on the screen itself

Absolutely!
I Use clear-coat and are very satisfied (had it on my diamond as well and have it on my psp)
Once you get a mark on the display u will regret going without.

Thank you all for sharing your opinions. already ordered a Brando protector + 3 extra just in case i will mess things up again.
Following Rozenthal advice i think i'll apply it in the bathroom this time and not in my dusty workroom.

Bubbles are not problem. After installing screen protector just take you credit card. You can remove all bubbles with credit card.

Just adding my two pennies worth. I haven't ever used a screen protector on any of my previous phones. However Touch HD is a little bit special (as we know) so I invested. The one that came with was utter....well it was naff. I bought an invisible shield but some areas didn't dry and adhese correctly....so I opted for Exim...now this was awesome....a few attempts later and I have it installed with no bubbles at all using a credit card to apply.
(Top Tip: use selotape to remove any unwanted dirt from the screen before installing....the static tends to draw dust to it straight out of the packet....helped me anyway!)

For what it's worth, it wouldn't hurt to use a can of dust remover or compressed air to spray the area before applying. Worked for me. Just a thought.

Does the normal screen protector that comes in the box makes the screen feels like bending when u press on it ? in the center specifically ? and makes you need to press harder when u tap ?

Invisible shield on mine and wouldn't be without a screen protector on any of my devices with my way of using them and pocketing them they tend to get scratched but loving the invisible shield. Should be installed at the factory imo

I've always used one, XDA mini, Kaiser and now the THD.
In all cases I've found the sensitivity is affected but to varying degrees.
In each case I've used tweaking tools to change the sensitivity back to acceptable levels.

But im only concerned to know. Does makes the screen feels like bending when u press on it ? I already know that all resistive screens do what i am talking about but does it increase when using a protector ?

Screen polishing on X10 ?

Ok, does this phone have screen protector that is glued on the display or it is just a display with nothing on it ? I have few little scratches so I was wondering can I polish it somehow ?
Tnx

The phone comes with a screen protector already applied. Look at the edges of the screen, you'll be able to see the difference between the screen itself and the protector.

Hi guys, been reading for the past few months here...I am getting this phone in about 1 or 2 weeks, and I read it has a scratch resistant screen...but this thread states that it actually is a screen protector. Can someone explain a bit more about this?

I also have some scratches on the protector. They can be polished out temporarely and completely with LCD-Liquid but next day they are visible again.
As the protector fits very well:
Anyone got an Idea how to polish away fine scratches permanently from protectors ?

it has a screen protector on it but also a scratch resistant screen but i've managed to put some small scratches but nothing too bad.

Mineral glass. Not quite crystal. But tougher than normal glass. Took mine off too. It definitely makes the screen a little more responsive. I personally recommend removing it, but I'm not going to be responsible for yourscratches!

No, I didn't, thx for the Info.
If it's that in a Shop I'd get it and give it a try. The protector fits so exactly on the glass that I would keem it as long as possible.

Tnx a lot guys, now I am much more happier knowing that it is only protector scratch, I can see it on the edges. Is there any screen protectors that good on ebay so I can replace this one ? I have bought some but they are not perfect size like this original one.

I removed my screen protector today since I dropped it on sharp pebbles with the screen first, lol. Anyways, Sony Ericsson says that it should be avoided at all costs. Removing the pre-fitted protector that is. Well, I hope I don't have to regret removing it!

One thing you can try is going around the edges with a razorblade. I haven't done it on the X10 but I've done it on oither phones where it's worked well.

Best Screen Protector For Xperia Play Nu-Clear

Okay I thought i'd make this quick thread to help you guys out. Some of you Xperia users don't realize Sony Preinstalls this screen protector or should i say "Shatter Glass" on all of their devices. Is this good? Simple answer, NOT. AT. ALL. When i took the shatter glass off i noticed an increase in brightness and the phone was more vibrant and so i order this Nu-Clear Screen protector off Amazon And it is the best screen protector I have ever had. It is so smooth and feels like its not even there and the phone is just as vibrant with it as it is without it. This screen protector only cost $3 with free shipping when you sign up for Prime on Amazon which i suggest you do because its free for a month and ou cn just cancel it before that.
Heres the link
amazon.com/gp/product/B005KGBCFG/ref=cm_cr_thx_view
To take off that preinstalled shatter glass i sugest ou use something thin and sharp because it's on there pretty damn good. I used a razor blade and started picking at the bottom left of the phone right by the back button and had it off in no time.
Now when installed the Nu-clear screen protector clean the phone with some windex and a paper napkin then wipe off the phone with the microfiber cleaning cloth and blow away all the dust. Then when applying a screen protector i suggest you peel it off just a little so you can align it up with the top of the phone. Once lined up start pulling back the tab little by little while pushing a card(credit card or whatever) to make sure no air bubbles pop up.
This video pretty much shows you what i mean.

Hope i helped because that preinstalled shatter glass was just annoying and was a magnet for scratches!

So there is a layer that comes installed on the phone already? Nice to know I can remove it because I've scratched it up pretty good and I've only had the phone about two weeks. I haven't even really done anything to scratch it either, so I was actually a little upset when I started noticing them.

Be careful, if you remove that layer you need to put on some other sort of screen protector. If you don't you'll notice that if your hands are moist at all the touch screen won't work properly.

I've used two types, the one that came with the otterbox encasement, which turned out horribly.. had a bubble within the screen protector almost immediately, but that could've been my fault, but i had to re apply it several times, which only seemed to multiply the air trapped between the screen and protector. And I used the standard AT&T screen protectors, which are amazing, they're thick, anti smudge, clear, and since they're pretty thick, they don't bubble at all, really easy to apply too. but it's like 16 bucks for 2.
.. and i just realized that op might just be advertising.

me too man, i smell a salesman.. hehe
I bought the phone and shop gave me a cheap screen protector... now I have smudges of fingerprints all over (oily hands).. but then, still better than naked.
Guess I'll change to matte (anti-fingerprint) type after this. Anyone using matte? Is it good on xplay?

It comes with a protector on it, there really is no need to replace it. My screen is perfectly bright with it on. I clean my screen off a few times a day with a little cloth, looks brand new after every wiping. (im also SUPER careful with my phone, and I hate fingerprints, OCD)

It isn't even a screen protector it's ah shatter glass

Just want to clarify that :>>>> the touch screen is whether made of Glass or Plastic? In case of Glass, it's no need to add a screen protector and remove the pre-install screen protector can improve the screen quality and touch response.
Pls advise.

Good screen protector
I purchased a pair and its fantastic so far. Instillation is a bit of a problem if you are impatient like me.
I recommend, its cheap and reliable. plus you get 2 for the low price of 3 bucks

It's a glass screen, but not gorilla glass like on the iPhone. Hence the pre-installed shatterproof film

Don't remove the screenprotector on the back

As the title says, Don't remove the screenprotector on the back. If you do say you will end up having what I have now....
Probably this is only will occur on the white XZ. Man this is really f*cked up to fix it. I hope its just the glue they use to stick the screenprotector, but it will take hell of a time to fix the back.
http://tinypic.com/r/20kyrdk/6

noooooo! Fu*k... please take a photo with light.
however, take care in

that's no problem, use some glue remover. you can buy it any shopping center.
it won't affect the case because it's glass.

Did you really have to remove it?
I understand removing it from the screen (because it smudges and the screen is scratch resistant anyway), as I did that to my previous phone myself.
But on the back? As if it makes a difference there...

Strange , im thinking to add second layer screen protector on it .
Its odd to find that there is ppl who want it removed .

Don't worry, it's just glue - like with previous Xperias. Use glue remover and you'll be fine.
I don't understand why people remove it though...it's protecting your screen from scratches and shattering, can't see how this is a bad thing - but that's everybody's personal choice.

Hahaha, I was still using the protective sheet on the rear glassl (the opaque one with the little guide info on it) because was worried that I would scratch it. But know that I discovered that also the rear glass has a protective sheet on it, I removed the other one

Could you explain the difference then? To me, they're both sticky pieces of plastic that hold together the glass if it breaks and adds a layer so there's no direct contact with the actual screen. So the names might be different and the marketing as well, but I think they're basically the same product. Also, putting a screen protector on top of the shatter-proof film? Little silly if you ask me.

The difference is very simple.
Screen protector is used to prevent scratches - it's usually covered with oleophobic coating and made from harder materials to make it more scratch-resistant.
Anti-shatter film is applied using thermal methods after tempered glass is cut off. It's not nearly as hard as screen protectors, but is resistant to being cut, sliced or torn apart - it also absorbs tension and spreads it evenly. Also, since it's applied thermally, using special glue, it will hold pieces of the screen together even if it breaks. Normal screen protector won't do that, it'll just peel off. Dont believe ? Hit a car's side window with a hammer - it'll shatter into million pieces. Now do the same with the windshield - it'll break and bend in, but won't shatter.
I understand you might not like it - but please don't say that they're useless or silly. There is a reason why they put this film on car windshields, buildings' glass facades etc. It's not "just marketing", however you look at it.

Yea. The reason is those are situations where serious body harm can occur otherwise.
If I drop my phone and the screen shatters, #1 I won't put my hand into the shards #2 the phone is bin ready anyway.
The sheet is there for one reason and one alone: to stop people from tearing their fingers when the screen breaks and suing Sony.
No other phone manufacturer does this crap. It's because Sony assumes the worst from users, period.

Is it only sony that use this protective film?

don't understand why you would remove it in the first place. Why mess with a perfectly fine (asthetically) phone. Just needed to add a screen protector on top and that is that. Not like the back is important like someone mentioned.

Because it's impossible to get a scratch resistant protector on perfectly, and even if you do it will always have fuzz underneath.
