Anyone know if it possible to buy a replacement glass (only the glass)?
I wish to remove the screen protector, but if it get scratches it would be nice if I can buy a new glass and replace it myself.
If there's anyone selling that, the place to look for is ebay.
Why remove it? I tried the phone (did not get mine yet) in different stores and the screen could'nt be more responsive imo. with the pre-applied protector in one store and the bubbly protective film+pre-applied screen protector in the other and there was no problem even with all that applied.. so i dont see the point in risking your glass.. just my point of view.
cheers

If you try the htc desire, you will see what I am talking about.
The mineral glass on x10 feels like cheap plastic with the protector on.
Just my opinion

after getting my own X10 now i can agree the screen feels a bit sticky if you have a bit damp fingertips. when fingers a freshly washed with soap and dry i have no problem with it

Real man
Yesterday I have scratched my screen on a rock, so I am a real man.... a crying stupid man.
Anyone have a idea how to replace it?
Is it possible to find and replace only the external glass? The touch digitizer works perfectly.
I thought the x10 screen is meant to b scratch resistance!? I've got little scratches all over mine! :0(
Think due to keys and coins in my pocket! :0s forget sometimes

Guys... did your x10 came with a prea-applied screen protector? Mine came with a prea applied screen protector but i can't seem to remove it. I'll post some pictures.
The screen protector is really hard to get going but once you got a corner it's easy to pull off.
Got no protector on my screen, no scratches at all and screen is much more responsive.

Why on Earth would anyone want to remove it? I've got the one that came with it and stuck another on that I got free with a case, and not lost any responsiveness at all, and as this phone cost me a few hundred pounds, the last thing I would want to do is lessen the protection of the screen.
the glass is the actual digitizer which is glued to the fascia of the phone, i cracked the glass on my phone and repaired it myself, digitizers are available from ebay for around £50 coming from honk kong. The quality of the digitizer is very good btw.
IMO the screen with the protector on was way less responsive, I don't understand why you need one, I've owned 2 iphones before this phone and used with no protectors, not had a single scratch on any, including my x10. Each to there own, but I just prefer to have no protectors on my phones.
I also don't use any cases either!

The OP is on about removing it, leaving it off, then forking out for a new screen if and when it inevitably gets scratched.
You guys just made my day! I had a big F*ing scratch at the center of my screen. Just found out I had a screenprotector! YEEY! its off now..
Need to get a new one!
Double posted?! WEIRD!
Has anyone found one?
I'd like to know how to get hold of a black screen so i can put it on my white x10.
Reduce the grubby look and give it a meaner look.
I am on my second Arc and both screens are exhibiting scratches despite being kept in a pouch and not coming into contact with any hard surfaces. Anyone else notice these so called 'scratch resistant' screens are far from?
Are you sure it's the screen it self and not the screen protector that's on it?
Most people get the arc with screen protector already on it. look close maybe you will see it.
took the screen protectors off as they diminish the quality of the screen both look and touch wise. didnt think it would be an issue considering the marketing spiel about the mineral glass!!
from my experience with "scratch resistant" screens, unless its gorilla glass, get a screen shield.
Depends what you mean by removing the "screen protector".. the actual factory fitted, almost invisible screen protector??
you mean there is another removable film under the sticky with the peel tab??!? hmmm

I'll assume, for now, that was a genuine response and not a sarcastic one!! ;-)
Yes.. if you look at the very edge of the screen you can see where the factory fitted screen protector is.. it really is the best screen protector you'll get...
Ah ha! thats hilarious - I never would have guessed that! apologies for being so retarded - I never bought a phone which came fitted with a protector under another protector! its so flush I dont think i would have ever noticed! i just wonder how everyone else but me saw it. very helpful - thanks alot.
i'll just go and find a sword to fall on...

I was also surprised, really great from SE.

My 10 year old Omega Seamaster has mineral glass and showing no scatch what so ever. My iPhone4 with gorilla glass is one big scratch.
I have the Arc now and am very happy with it.
Hello,
Does anyone here with an Arc have removed the factory installed screen protector and have gone without applying another screen protector? How is your screen doing?
I'm changing screen protectors every two months and I hate to do it, but I want to know if the scratch resistant screen is indeed scratch resistant. I'd love to go without a screen protector, but I'm afraid to do so, unless someone without using one can tell me his/her story.
Thank you.
I know it's not the Arc, but check out this SE Xperia Active "screen torture"
Mine (arc s) had no protector for about a month and got 0 scratches...
Now Im using an oleophobic protector(Steinheil Ultra Series [Ultra Optics]) and I think is unnecessary because the screen already have a better oleophobic coating, also reduces the screen brightness
BTW my brother xperia x10 still without protector for over a year and have no scratches
Sorry for my english
My wife took off her protection and now we are having another baby! Jk she saw scratches right away I would recommend using a scratch protector, because even the so called gorilla glass can scratch with just regular use

Yup, that's it. It's *really* difficult to get off.
Removed mine about 6 months ago after it got scratched. Never bothered to install the spare that came in the box. Been keeping the phone in my pocket (with wallet, but no keys or coins in that pocket ever) and there are still no scratches whatsoever on the screen.
There are plenty of chips & scratches all over the rest of the phone though.

Really? What on earth is she doing to the thing? I've dropped mine so many time's it's not even funny, it has chips and scratches all over it (including one scratch i'm particularly proud of right across the camera lens) and yet the screen is still pristine.
Are you absolutely sure you dont still have the factory fitted screen protector on it? Unless of course she's keeping it in a handbag filled with rusty nails and sandpaper, which is what my ex-gf seemingly used to do to anything she borrowed of mine...
Just like to point out something important, the protector that is factory applied and is hard to get off is a SHATTER PROOF SHEET! As the screen has been designed to be airtight (the gap between the screen at the touch layer) I have heard of people who have removed this protector and after dropping their arc, the whole screen shattered
This is why despite having a **** load of scratches, I'm too afraid to remove this cover, so I wouldn't really recommend it...

How does the scratch resistance properties of the xperia screens compare to other mainstream phones with, say, gorilla glass 2? In the absence of any screen protectors? Please, just facts and personal experiences, no speculations.

dragontrail suppose to be stronger then gorilla glass 2.
But is it for sure dragontail? I haven't seen any official specifics about the screen in terms of resistance. That's why I'm interested in people's experiences. I cannot stand having screen protectors on my phone but I've never had scratches on my gorilla glass phones before and I'd like to buy a xperia.

...only time will tell, I went screen protector free for a month and I dint get any scratch but i was being careful. Xperia Active use dragontrail, go youtube drop test on those...seeems to be super strong.
Well Sony went somewhat retard on this phone, they put the most fragile cover on a tough glass. ( Look up Anti shatter film )
And you need the cover for Warranty and the sexy Sony Logo. So I'd recommend some sort of cover. (Unless you're fine without the warranty)
There's plenty of covers and they don't ruin touch sensitivity or brightness at all. I'm using Copter atm, it's all good.
Sony went wrong by applying an anti shatter film. It's ok but don't print the Sony logo on it for G's sake. I and guess quite a few others like the Sony branding. The shatter film itself scratches easily. Didn't remove it so personally can't say anything about it when it's off but one thing for certain and that is that the shatter film is not scratch resistant at all! So in case you want to buy one and want the Sony logo, I recommend using a screen protector over the ASF.

Disappointing to be honest. My phone fell face down from a distance of about 30cm when I was getting out the car and now I have a chip on the screen (and I had a screen protector on it)
I've now had to buy a case for it as the back of the phone is scratched to hell with everyday use.
My Lumia 920 was indestructible and had plenty of drops from great heights.
I'm annoyed as I bought my Z direct from Sony for £530 at launch and now it's worthless if I want to resell it.

You say the back is scratched? Did you put the protector that Sony put in the box, or just leave it? As people have said, the anti shatter film is very easily scratched.

The protector came off after about a week as it didn't adhere properly due to the NFC sticker on the back

The NFC sticker is pasted on top of the anti-shatter film. (Yes, there's a pre-applied shatter-proof screen protector in addition to the screen protectors that are already included within the box.)
Dragontail may be best than Gorilla Glass 2. I have the original protector but YouTube is your best friend.
My Z fell from a table to the floor and one of its corners got chipped, not the glass but urghhhhh... Also, Im not sure if the sides are glass but they got scratched so easily too -.-
The glass isn't very scratch proof. I took the shatter proof sheets off, and after a couple of weeks there were some very fine scratches on the glass. I'm very careful too, the phone has its own pocket with no keys, coins etc. The glass seems less scratch proof than that the front glass on the iPhone 4, and I put replacement screen protectors on pretty soon after removing the pre-applied ones.
I don't know how people scratch it so easily - I have a screen protector front and back and I only have 1 minuscule scratch on the front from my headphones. I've dropped many times too, on carpet, tile, wood and concrete from distances >50cm too. A little bit of care goes a very long way, it seems.

I'm talking about the sort of very fine scratches you can only really see in strong sunlight, and wouldn't notice under normal usage. My Xperia had about as many scratches of that kind after a few weeks without a screen protector as my iPhone did after two years. It doesn't really matter which of us is the more careful, because I was equally careful with both phones and the front glass of the iPhone was a lot more scratch resistant in my experience.

I agree with the above statement.
We're talking about the kind of scratches that other people would claim do not exist on their phone. Then when i take it look i can see them.
I got given an iphone 4 from work a couple of years ago. As i did not spend any money on it i wasn't anywhere near as careful with it as i have been with my Z.
I would quite often have my iphone in my pocket/bag along with other items. I dropped the phone on concrete paving quite a few times because i would pull the phone out of my pocket using the headphones wire. I didn't care.
As i bought my Z i have been very careful with it to the point of ocd. Nobody else has touched it. I keep it in its own pocket at all times. When i take it out i put it on top of a cloth ( work and home desk). It has never been dropped.
After two weeks the screen on my Z had as many of these micro scratches as the iphone had after two years.
Thankfully they are the kind of scratches that are not visible unless at a certain angle under intense light. But i am gutted as i really like the look and feel without the antishatter. I added a crystal clear spigen protector and it is now impossible to see them.
Luckily i am getting a new one from work, so i will give this one to my dad and this time i will remove the antishatter (i prefer the look without the logo) and install the spigen protector straight away.
Not very scientific and maybe luck plays it part, but i thought i would share my personal experience.
My Z has a load of very fine scratches (only visible in good light, at a fine angle) right at the point my right thumb unlocks the screen, all in the direction I swipe the screen.
So it does sound like the screen is not so strong as other phones with gorilla. Officially, it is not known what kind of scratch resistant this glass is (so no need to repeat Dragontail, Sony does not say anything about Dragontail. Or Gorilla). This will not stop me from buying this phone (or other Xperia) but it sounds like I do need to look for a good screen protector. There is no way I can put a screen protector on top of the already placed shatterproof film, I think this is simply ridiculous, having two screens on top of the glass. But I have never had a screen protector and I have been pretty careful with my phones and my motorola razr maxx (Gorilla 1) looks perfect after one year (no mini scratches either), so I guess I will have to get used to having one with a Sony phone. Thanks for all the opinions!
now, i thought the z1 had some sort of toughened glass, i noticed this morning that my display has a chip in the screen
i thought it might be something stuck, so i gently ran my fingernail over it and it's as though a tiny chunk has been taken out of the glass. wasn't there before, and i haven't dropped it or knocked it against anything (to my knowledge)
now that sucks, especially as i know it's there!
whoa that's hard..
but you sure it's not the anti shatter proof sheet that got chipped?

don't think so, running the fingernail on it, it feels like a chip in the actual glass
wasn't there when i got it, because i'm pretty precise about these things - i tried putting the screen protector on it when i got it but messed that up, so no external protector on it...

Is it front side? If yes could it just be the screen protector which every device has? My protector already has countless scratches, some pretty deep. Seems to be low quality for original sony...
okay then last question...
do you still have that Sony logo infront of your phone?
if yes, then it's the anti shatter proof that you chipped.. a pretty common case if it does
so if you remove it, you will get the bare Dragontrail glass but no oleophobic coating
getting a tempered glass screen guard is still the best choice as of now

Isn't there any warranty covering something like this? Sony has been saying removing the asf voids your physical / cosmetic warranty for the screen. Doesn't the fact that the asf is still on and there is no evidence of dropping the phone then cover the damage under warranty?

WOAH! I don't want to freak anyone out, but this has happened to me too. Sony will fix it, but your warranty doesn't cover it
Is the chip a funny colour? As My screen was fine, then a chip has appeared, as if overnight, with a coloured hue to it :/
Freaking. Spooky.

I agree. When I tried to remove the ASF, it started to chip at the corner too. At first I though it was the screen itself but, if you look at it at ~175 degree angle, you will notice the crack which is on the ASF. Then I carefully remove the ASF. Once you remove the ASF, the screen will be all clear. I then put my screen protector on that I purchased from nillkin. Of course, the Sony logo will be gone, but IMHO, the phone will look more sleeker, have less fingerprint smudges, and less glare.
Let me guess, the chip or scratch is located a bit to the side of the screen.. More likely on the place where you place your thumb the most..... Because a repeated nail friction could damage the sheet pretty fast...
It happened to my Z1 too, but applying a screen protector on it helps hiding the damage quite a bit

Let us know how you get on mate, I want to send mine into Sony, but A) I'm scared it's going to cost £60+ to fix and B) they want £10-£15 to send the phone back to me :/
I've got a tiny piece missing all of a sudden. I swear it's been treated with love but I think it's the ASF. Very disappointing from Sony on a premium product.

Good afternoon fellow XDAers!
Here's a poll question for you: how is the back of your Xperia Z1 holding up?
The question is especially for those of you who haven't used a case.
I've received my Z1 just yesterday, and today I already noticed a hairline crack of about 4.5 centimeters high. I have no idea what could've caused this as I have only put my phone down very carefully. Considering this is just day two of carrying the device, and since I'm not planning on getting a case for it (I like my phones how I like my women - ifyouknowwhatImean ; ), I'm really wondering how the back holds up for people who have carried the device without a case for a couple of months. The only thing I don't like about its back, is the fact that the factory screen protector seems to scratch too easily. I'm not afraid of breaking it, but I'm not taking this protector off either.
So please, share your results, show some pictures if possible, tell me about your experience with handling the Z1's back.
I tried taking a picture of it with my Xperia S but that failed. I may try using my D5100 if you're interested in my Z1's back.
problem i have is that back panel is sticking out slightly in the corner where camera is at.
basically i am having this problem:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/08/0...ose-back-panels-water-resistance-compromised/
i dont have warranty so i sent my phone to a random shop and they applied some glue to that corner which resolved the problem
but now it seems the problem is coming back again (panel getting unglued again)

B-buttt... I thought that was only an issue with Xperia Z devices, not with the Z1?
Darn, I really hope I'm not affected by that. I already got a yellow display from that 'lottery' it seems...
EDIT: also, doesn't every electronic device come with a 2-year factory warranty? That's what I've heard.
Nillkin tempered glass screen protector saved my device.
I have frame (rubber) case but I'm not using it because I don't like the look of device in it.
However, the other day I bought new Nillkin SP and when I peeled old SP I saw device is perfectly saved.

Used to use a thin case but took it off. The phone looks too good to have it covered. I bought the Skinomi full body skin protector and it's pretty good. I don't feel scared about handling my phone a bit roughly since it's pretty much wrapped in a plastic sheet.
I bought two front screen protectors, since both the front and back side of the Z1 have the same shape i just made a cutout for the camera and pasted it in the back
So damn hard to find a back protector here

Haven't had any problems with the back yet, touch wood, but the front collected scratches so easily. I bought some Z1 membrane screen protectors and took the front Sony one off to replace with one of the new ones and to my pleasant surprise it has actually made the touch sensitivity a lot more responsive! I've left the back Sony one on and just covered it with a membrane one.

As I said, I bought Nillkin tempered glass and was disappointed when I saw only front protector is real tampered glass and the back was just a plain protector.

Pretty much pristine condition, metal-slim bumper w/ nilkin glass screen protector on the front and skinomi on the back. My only issue is that the skinomi protector gets really icky real fast, like slimy, due to the moisture of my hands.
No scratches front or back, no case, no screen protectors, and i've dropped it twice

That's why it scratches so easily. It's just a screen protector.
Exactly why I made this poll, I was wondering how bad it could get.
At the Mall on Friday and ran into the Ghost Armour kiosk so I decided to have them apply a screen protector for their $25. Had micro bubbles for a day but by Sunday all traces of bubles are gone and you can't tell there is any screen protector on the phone. I also have a slim hard case that covers the back which should be arriving today so I should be good to go with protection.

The screen does scuff up very easily so be careful until you get some sort of protection on it. Also screen response is just as good with the additional protector on it.
I had a light scratch on the back of my Z1. I put on an Armor Suit protector on it and the scratch no longer appears. As well, the Armor Suit heals itself from scratches... it just looks great now. I'm also caseless.

Scratchs, SCRATCHES EVERYWHERE! lol
But they are not noticeable unless you're TRYING to looking for them. If they where a screen at the back I would INSTANTLY remove the ASF.

I have had this phone nearly 2 weeks now and it is still in brand new condition... Not even a single scratch anywhere. Lol
Tho with most phones the colour starts to fade or wear on the side of the phone, however the Z1's case not a problem.
ALTHOUGH... they say its dust resistant? Ive seen more dust accumulate on the front and back than ive seen on the a glass table that never gets used ?

Dust resistance means that dust won't get inside the device (possibly heating the device). It doesn't magically repel dust off the front :silly:
