Hi,
I just bought the Xperia Z2 Uk model off the internet today. I wanted to know if there is a screen protector already applied to the phone or will I have to apply myself. I know there is some in the box.
My current Sony Xperia Arc already had a screen protector applied from factory.
There is none on mine - I think Sony stopped putting factory screen protectors on their phones.

I can confirm, on Z2's screen there is no factory foil, if you want, you can apply protector on your own.
sony has stopped using the screen protector on z2.. so you need to apply the one that came in the box

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.
i took the screen protector off, a mistake on my part but oh well.

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!

Did you try "Displex"?
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.
I have noticed that the arc (like my old x10) has a secondary screen protector under the standard flimsy one that comes off easy when you first get the device.
Have you guys removed yours?
Are other users just placing new screen protectors onto this not knowing its there?
Many people may not even notice its there.

Most people (like me) didn't remove it. and i think the most here know it now.
The pre-applied layer is called the "shatter proof sheet". It is more sticky than the normal screen protectors (to protect against glass shattering if you drop it).
I just leave it there and when it is totally scratched, will replace with a normal screen protector.
I got ARC from someone so pre-applied protactor was scratched so i removed it & applied the one i got in box

I have try to apply the screen protector too without success because of the stickers that didn't come off properly leaving glue on the film... disappointing
Someone told me that removing screen protector will increase touch sensibility... I'll try to remove it a day or another

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.
It would be great to have same for back too.

Destroyed, just it.... A LOT of scratches and i cant find a good case for it, theres just the official one but is very expensive....
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
Great phone.
No case, no cracks on the back, just those original things that are on the phone

Some scratches, lucky I got a screen protector.
Frickin' awesome C6903 Xperia Z1
you guys do know the phone comes with a screen protector front and back from the factory right?
Mine is scratched up to, but its just the screen protector, you can just remove it and replace it.
I haven't dont this for the back yet but i did do this for the front, only loss is that i dont have the sony logo on the front anymore but i dotn really care about that.

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:
I would like to share my experience and I think this case is not just can happen to Sony Z2 although this happen on my Z2.
I bought a tempered glass screen protector installed and after about 2 week, I removed the screen protector. It left with "watermark" in the inner layer of the LCD screen and later the screen became not responding to touch. I have to send the unit to Sony repair center.
The name of the Tempered Glass Screen Protector I bought was:
RetinaGuard 視網盾 Sony Xperia Z2 眼睛防護 防藍光玻璃保護膜
Bit Worrying!!!

Well that sounds a bit worrying....def caused by the Glass Screen, not water getting into the phone somehow?? Be interesting to hear if anyone else has taken off their glass screen & had any problems
I bought mine and slapped a spigen glas.tr. screen protector and had it one for about 3 -4 weeks. Had to replace the protector cuz one of the corners accidentally lifted and got some dust underneath. Pulled it off with no problems and threw a new one on. Reading Op's post I can't see how the phone could get a "watermark" unless there was moisture present. Sounds like the phone was in a area that caused condensation to occur inside. I highly doubt any screen protector would cause this.

It is internal LCD peeling look like watermark, and nothing to do with water or watermark.
Some bad TG SP adhere too strongly to LCD and removing of it cause damage to the LCD

Bought some tempered glass ones of ebay..
The back cameras don't have a protector on top of them.
I don't think it's standard for any company to put screen protectors on the back of their phones. I haven't personally used screen protectors in quite a while but don't they normally have cutouts so the screen protector doesn't interfere with the proper camera operation? A screen protector over the camera lense and sensor could easily create a lot of problems.
Mine didn't in UK, i was looking into getting some from amazon though but after i read reviews and also asked on here it seems they can actually cause a lot of issues especially when using the flash.
