I bought my Xperia Z off ebay and there is a fairly hefty scratch in the middle of the screen. However, as it's second hand I don't know if this is on the asf itself or on a screen protector that was put on top of it. Obviously I can take the top layer off and if the Sony logo comes off with it I have my answer but I'd rather keep that Sony logo on there (even if it means putting up with the scratch). Anyone have any advice?
Thanks
Just look closely at the edges and see if there's more than one layer

I actually put the supplied ones on both the front and the back, and to be honest I cant tell they are on the phone at all. The main reason for doing this is because the phone is in my pockets with keys etc and yeah people will say it won't get scratched but I rather have them on for now then in a few months time take them off. Also with the protectors on you can only see a couple of finger print marks, I don't think it is as bad as say the ipad screen and this is when in certain light/angles and the screen is off.

how much less/more fingerprints
without the screen protector?
i care mostly about fingerprint protecting i am far too careful to get scratches i will for example never put my phone next to something it is either in a plastic bag or a case
I'm in doubt buy a protective film to use the Xperia Z, but I'm afraid to lose touch sensitivity and screen brightness too!
The anti-shatter that comes standard is very easy to scratch? I mean just scratch with normal use of the fingers!
On my Xperia S, the original film it was only scratching with normal use! I removed the film and left without!
But the Xperia Z to remove the film, the Sony comes out soon too and I did not want to lose it!
1) You left without anti-shatter film, only with him or bought another protective film?
2) Someone found to sell a new film with the logo of Sony?
You could remove the file to give it a cleaner look and then you can put on a screen protector that doesn't scratch like spigen ultra thin screen protector. But if you don't want to lose the logo put another screen protector on top. You won't lose screen responsiveness unless you get really bad quality screen protectors.
Press thanks if I helped

I bought Zagg Invisible Shield, is it good?
I have a minimal scratch on the back , used the phone very carefully but I don't know how I got it ( it's very small but it is) so it's scratches very quick ( at least in my case ) so I bought a film for the back. I will buy for the front too , but I will wait a little bit cause here in my stupid country we don't have alternatives

Is it good? I'm wondering about replacements for mine.
I've seen a Youtube video where a guy removed an official Sony screen protector. No not the one with the translucent plastic pull-out tab.
He used a knife to remove it. Bad thing was, the Sony logo was embedded on the screen protector. So if you remove the screen protector, the Sony logo goes along with it.
Any of you guys tried it then used a different screen protector?
There was no screen protector on my Z1 and the Sony logo is still there.
I think you have missunderstand something.
Do you have a link to the video?
There is screen protector on every Z1 and like you said Sony logo is embedded on the screen protecton. So when you take it off the sony logo be gone.
I think you confusing something, the video shows how you can take off the Anti-Shatter Screen Protector (ASF) which come with the phone. If you look closely to the glass of you phone you will see there still a tiny screen protector and if you remove it the Sony logo will go out with him because the logo is on it. So if you apply any other screen protector on the phone the Sony logo will not come off if one day presumably you will try to remove the screen protector which you apply. BTW is not recommended to remove the original anti-Satter screen protector from Xperia device.

Eclyptos is right. And to add to it, if you remove the anti shatter film you void your warranty. So definitely not recommended
I purchased a Screen protector from Ebay ; http://www.ebay.com/itm/390972400778?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT It cracked under the edge one day, and one day I found a crack that I thought was the phone itself but, after running my fingernail along the surface I knew it was the protector itself after my nail caught where I thought the screen had cracked underneath the protector.
My question is, does anyone have any protectors they recommend and live by? for a Sony Xperia Z3 D6633?
Hi everyone,
As title of thread, i Need to know One thing, because i have a big doubt:
Is there an inner screen protection applied from factory, or the thin layer that i can view, slightly upper on the screen, Is a screen layer that cannot be changed? (Remember the inner screen protection gate on the first Samsung fold...? If you remove the protection on fold 1, you break the screen)
I ask this because of you look, there Is no camera hole on this layer, and this has maked me some nervous. I don t want to break this beautiful screen.
Is there anyone that have been removed this layer? Or i must apply my new inner screen protection ON this layer?
Thank you,
Freddy
Nobody can help me to know...?
I applied a screen protector I bought from Aliexpress. The fingerprints are a lot better now since putting it on. I didnt try taking anything off my screen first though. Sensitivity has not been affected.

Which one did you buy, can you send a link?
There's a youtuber gadget goddess she applied a screen protector right on top of the inside screen protector. There is one as I've read it in few places and saw a tear down Chinese video of person removing a thin screen protector layer which kills the screen.
