i already had the front film removed and it wen't very well i was very happy with the results
now comes the back film why did i remove it? i don't know i guess i wanted it to be plain glass
anyway after i removed it it seems it left glue very small pieces of glue that only shows if you breath on it
i also have a worry removing the film will that do anything to the waterproofing?
as i assume the back is glued on compared to the front
i didn't drag straight up i carefully (not sure how careful) dragged downwards in every corner (the parts where it's easier to peel it off)
how much force does it take to move the plate or the glue?
How is removing the asf going to do something about the waterproofing? It is glass onderneath a piece of plastic. If you drink something, do you use a piece of paper?? Or do you use glass like everyone else. The glass on the phone is even more compressed because it's tempered.. Sorry, just wanted to tell you that. I read it everywhere that people have doubts after removing the asf.. So your answer: NO, it isn't going to do something about the waterproofing.
As for the sticky residu, i heard people removed it with nail polisher. They did with the xperia z, so i guess you could do it to on you z1. But i'm not sure, anyone else can conform this?

I used nail polish remover to get the glue off. The back piece of glass is held in place by waterproofing adhesive. I've take the back of my Z but not my Z1. They are the same in design. If you look closely you will not that the ASF doesn't cover the crease where the glass meets the frames so no it will not harm the waterproofing abilities.
i used the cleaning solution i got with my liquid shield protection it worked
sadly i managed to find a scratch on the phone so now im sad a scratch i did not make it's a tiny black line on the frame i had the phone outside of the house about 2 times using a case other than that it has been sitting on tables
i am very sad and dissapointed about that scratch since i am very sensitive to scratches it is about 0.5 mm in size just a guess but it's microscopic but it is visible

Yeah...
That's why I always order screen protector - and I do that before my device arrive.
Every phone I had was perfect after one or even two years of using because I always use cases and protectors.
I just don't believe there's any glass you can't scratch (except maybe sapphire).
The main problems are tiny grains of sand and dust that will land on your screen and when you are using touch screen you scratch your screen.
Piece of sand is similar to diamond and can cut through a glass and only screen protector or sapphire glass could resist it or save it from a scratch

1. it looks nicer and cleaner a WHOLE LOT cleaner without the sony logo
2.it feels less cheap to not have a plastic layer ontop of the glass
3.the film gets easily scratched so you have to place yet another one ontop of it which is insanity in my honest opinion
i am VERY happy with the result i got from removing it if i decide to upgrade to the z1s i'll be sure to peel off the film as soon as i get it
i removed the film the first day and i have not once looked back the phone looks absolutely STUNNING without the sony logo and more unique to me seriously removing it was an amazing decision in my opinion

As soon as i get any sony phone out of the box i remove the factory fitted screen protecter.
The screen looks better without it, the screen is tougher than the protector so always looks better as it does not get scratched.
I keep my phone in mypocket with car keys and loose change, my screen has not a single scratch on it, but the screen protectoer always gets scratched and attracts dust....Its my one and only complaint about the phones

I don't like or use screen protectors either, that's why I'm interested in taking it off or not.
However the thing that worries me is how "oily" it remained when the girl removed it.
Right now it certainly attracts dust like crazy, but a quick rub with my sleeve and it's clean again. In the video however seems that the bare crystal is not so easy to clean off.

R: Removing Anti Shatter Screen Film
My Xperia T was not "oily" at all when I removed the screen protector. It was perfect. Just get comfortable while trying to make the first peel, because it may send you nuts.
I started from the narrow strip above the earpiece hole, used a stitch needle to weaken the protector plastic (the glass won't get any scratches from it) and then managed to lift it off the surface... it then came away easily.
Without the screen protector, I don't have dust on it anymore (i think it's electrostatically attracted by the protector). It is more oily, for sure, but the oil makes your finger slip better on the screen, and I like that.

Same for me.
I removed it 3 seconds using a needle then peeled it off, cleaned with dishwasher rinse aid (innovative alternative for proper glass cleaner) on a micro-fibre cloth.
Screen is so much better. Crisper, less dust and I'm not really getting finger print marks; same as with protector.
Glad I took it off and did the same with my X10. You do wonder though why Sony don't use top grade glass on most of their phones. Strange.
I happen to like the feeling of the screen protector it's super ultra smooth but sadly as we all know super easy to scratch I think mine retained it's scratched from a little bit of pocket lint and some bubble gum rappers kinda makes you think WTF Sony WTF any how it doesn't look like she truly cleaned the screen proper and what we all want to know is what the phone is really like with out the glued on screen protector ?
What is it made of is it any thing like my Xperia arc which doesn't feel so great after I use it with my dirty work hands but if actually clean it feels alright.

I won't take mine off. Last time I did that to my arc s, my screen received lots of scratches.

Slender watches what you do...
I have to say that the built-on proctector does not feel good to me. My finger could not glide well at all. For the moment I have put the thinnest screen protector I had for the T and that has made a world of difference.
Just a question. If Sony use some kind of shatter-proof glass (Corning's gorrilla or Asahi Dragontail (don't they make beer too?)) why do they stick a thick sheet on top. Makes me think it is not very shatter proof!
Who makes the glass for the T?
It is Corning Gorilla Glass, according to a Sony rep on Sony Mobile Forum
A follow up to the girls video,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2qdwsFd-Qw
.
But do we beleive that?
Most Gorilla glass customers state they are using it, the same way they tell you the manufacturer of the processor.
The white paper for the xperia T that came out in Sept.(ver 3) just says:
"Shatter-proof sheet on scratch-resistant glass"
Gorilla glass is shatter proof as well as scratch resistant
After noticing that the screen protector on my V was literally covered with probably 100+ microscratches from being in my pocket all the time, I went ahead and took it off. The screen looks much better now, but gets much greasier than before. No big deal, it's just like my old phone. What I really don't like, however, is that I lost my Sony logo, as it was printed on the screen protector and not the handset itself.
wow, that is a real suprise, I wonder where Xperia and Sony are printed on the T, any comments from those who took it off?

You may be right, the post at Sony Mobile were a Sony guy states it is Gorilla Glass, has been deleted.
Emailed Corning but they can't disclose info because of a privacy clause.
gsmarena state it as shatterproof and scratch resistant glass ( http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_t-4899.php )
i dont like the screen protector but as i have only had the phone for like 6 hours in going to keep it on for now
Well Sony make a distinction between the two.
"Shatter-proof sheet on scratch-resistant glass"
I did not like the sheet, so I stuck a proctector on top that that feels much better.
Hi all,
I hope some people here have connections to Sony and can maybe raise this question. I noticed that some users complain that the camera "glass" on the camera (so the small round piece of glass which protects the camera) is actual not glass but vulnerable plastic. The front side as well as the back side of the smartphone are protected by Gorilla Glass 3 but the small piece of the camera is neither Gorilla Glass 3 nor Saphir Glass (even better than Gorilla Glass 3).

This guy basically tested the 3 pieces of glass (front, back and camera) with a needle and noticed that the camera glass was damaged afterwards and the front and back were fine. Let's not talk about it if this guy is an a**hole because he damages a sample device. Btw I am NOT the guy.
You can expand this post and see three pictures. I attached one picture which I got from a German forum.
Is it really true that Sony took weak plastic glass to protect the camera? This would be a big problem since the glass will become blurred after some time due to very small scratches. So after 1 year the quality of pictures will definitely not be the same.
Does anyone have further information or can raise this question to a Sony contact? I am sure sending an email to Sony will not deliver satisfying results since the question is too detailed.
Many thanks in advance!
Just tested this on the black part of the camera glass of my acro s and it also scratches relatively easy. Strange. You would think that for a piece of glass this small, they would at least use some good quality scratch-resistent glass.
AFAIK lens / lens guard is glass on both Z3 & Z3C. The anti-relflective / polarising coating is not part of the lens, like a polariser lens ... it's just a coating.

If yes they should have put this under the glass... it will scratch easily. Would you suggest to protect it by a screen protector (a shield as well)?

Screen protectors, do NOT protect the camera, because it could and probably will affect the quality of your pictures.
In my opinion there is really not much to worry about. Who ever had their lens glass scratched that bad that you could see it on pictures?

Seeing as the camera glass is perfectly level with the surrounding glass, and the surrounding glass is perfectly level with frame, it could pose a problem. If you put the phone down and it slides a little bit, the smallest of dust particles could create micro scratches.

The Z3 does not use gorilla glass.... these brands and types use it http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/en/products-with-gorilla
Sony hasn't got gorilla glass on any of its products according to corning.
Camera glass should have been saffier glass if you ask me.
The Z3 Compact indeed has lousy camera glass quality. I don't think it's glass, it's plastic, as you will be able to deform it using only your nail and pressing it. Here's my sample. I was having another problem with the camera, as you can see the big spots, it's the glue letting go or something. As for the little scratches, they're real and you can see them with the naked eye. They're from day-to-day use for two-three weeks, just putting it on my desk and trying to swipe messages while it's laying on my desk or table, like I'm used to with the Galaxy Nexus.
I'm really sad Sony still cheaped out on this. Why didn't they just use Dragontrail X on both sides and sapphire glass? It's certainly in their budget seeing these pretty high prices, so there's no reason not to do this.

Corning does not list all the companies that use its glass. Apple, for example, is not listed but it uses Gorilla Glass. I believe Sony uses GG on at least one side of the Z3, but not sure about the Z3c.
As for the camera lens... it's probably the coating being scratched. All lenses, big and small, have coatings to minimize flare and other issues. If I took a needle to some of my Canon L lenses I bet I'd see a scratch in the coating, too.

There is no separate removable protection foil on the camera glass afaik.
What I've done to get around this issue is purchase an HTC M8 camera lens protector kit because it's almost a perfect fit (a tad smaller) but covers the area in front of the actual lens. The image degradation is barely noticeable so I'm pretty happy with it.
I noticed a rough spot on the camera glass on mine, when I lightly rubbed my nail over it, I couldn't really see anything but under my microscope I saw this.
It's not very promising as I've only had this phone for two months and a half, while my two-year old Xperia Acro S barely has a mark on its camera glass. I never treated this Z3C any worse than my old Acro S. I'm even treating this much more carefully than my Acro S.
So it does look like the camera glass on the Z3C is absolute rubbish material.
I'm not yet noticing any blurred or washed out spots in the pictures, but I do start to notice light streaks around bright light sources.
So does the camera lense have like a removable film/protector? It looks like on my z3 compact that their are like air bubbles around the edges.
I'm so tempted to pick at it with a needle to see if it comes off!

The rest of the back has a bunch of micro scratches, nowhere near as dense nor as deep as the ones on the camera though.
The front is still completely free of scratches.
deep scratch on the camera
Hello there! I bought this phone last wednesday and by yesterday evening I started to notice light streaks when the camera was looking to bright light sources. I thought that it might been dirty. I cleaned it and it still there. Looking to the camera glass with a bright light I noticed a deep scratch on it. Considering that it has less than a week, do you think that the seller or Sony itself will give me a replacement? And, if it has to be payed, is there anyone who payed for that? Thanks a lot

I was about to buy it but I'm hesitant to buy it for $18 bucks without knowing more about it.

O nice, $11 is a more reasonable price.
I'd like to hear from anyone who gets/has one. How has it impacted touch sensitivity?

Hopefully I'll receive them before I scratch my screen!
How did these tempered screen protectors work out on the LG G Watch R? Do they affect the feel, look and responsiveness of the screen?, Do they offer better protection than standard screen protectors? Would you recommend them?
Review
Mine just arrived today. Already installed and stuff:
So far it came with a cool looking tin can with a plastic window on top (covered with a sticker), alcohol wipe, microfiber cloth, stickers to get rid of the dust and to guide the protector on, and, surprisingly, a cheap stylus and a few useless stuff for free.
The cut is extremely exact to a point where I have no idea how I would remove it. So my recommendation is the make sure you properly clean the surface and use the stickers to get rid of any dust cause once it's on it'll be extremely difficult to remove.
Once it's on, it adhere to the screen leaving no bubbles. The feel is nice about as smooth as a typical tempered glass screen protectors for phones. The sensitivity isn't affected, as sensitive as the actual screen.
One thing I like about it is that it gives the screen a little height so it makes the screen a bit more flush with the bezels. It definitely looks as if there is no protector on the screen.
I attached some pictures of what came in the package and how it looks on the watch. Don't mind the Skinomi body skin around the watch.

An excellent review! Many will appreciate this.
So is there any noticeable difference in glare or viewing in direct sunlight?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk
There isn't that much glare. As long as your brightness is at 3 or higher you can easily see the screen, to me anyways.
It might not be as good as a naked screen but it's the same as if you had a plastic screen protector. In ambient mode you might have to look a little bit harder to see the time in sunlight, but overall glare is minimal but it depends on the person's point of view of course.

Thanks so much for the review!
I'm wondering, is it possible to remove the screen protector once put on the watch? I mean, if I want, or need to remove it later on (if scratched or broken), how would I manage to do that? (because it seems to adjust si perfectly, I don't really see how I could pry and detach the screen protector without damaging the bezel or the real screen itself....
That's what worries me more.

Honestly I do not know how I'm going to remove it. As of right now, I think the only way I can remove the screen protector is by using the included sticker that was used to guide the screen into place and a pin needle. I think I can stick the needle in one of the small opening and use it as leverage to lift the protector while using the sticker to help lift it off the watch's screen. This is the only way I can see myself removing the protector from the watch.

Yea, it seems trying to use the pin you'd risk scratching the screen underneath. But I "think" you're only supposed to ever need one. Unless you have something catastrophic happens, that scratches it. In which case, you'll be very glad you installed it. Since they are not easily scratched.
With the skin I have, there's no real "glare" in sunlight, but I'm concerned these glass covers cause extra glare.

Honestly I dont notice any increase in glare, the OLED is pretty bright even in the lowest settings so you'll still be able to see the screen. As for the protection, the only way i see the screen really getting damaged is if you something pointed hit the glass directly. Cause of the raised bezel it'll be hard to scratch the screen

Is there any gap (even small) left between the protector and the bezel? (where dust could stay, I find that extremely annoying).

Unfortunately there is a small gap where particles of dust can get in, but you can get rid of the dust with compress air. When I try to blow the dust away with my mouth I can get rid of the small strands of lint. I really don't notice the dust that much during normal wear unless I really focus on it. I am a little ocd about dust and stuff on my screen but I can live with the dust on the edge as long as there's none underneath in direct view of the face.
I received my GPEL brand TGSP this evening.

I took some pictures with my work iPhone (so they might not be the best quality).
Impressions: shipping was pretty quick coming from California. It was packaged well and survived the trip. The packaging seems to be well thought out such that it will protect the glass during shipping.
It came with an alcohol swab to clean your screen, a microfiber cloth for final wipe and they tossed in a couple of stickers to use to grab the errant dust particle if any fan on the screen just before placing the protector.
The back of the protector has a large removable "sticker" and appears to only have adhesive on the top and bottom (although it could have adhesive on the sides, I'm unable to tell for certain).
I ordered the gold one and took a couple pictures of my phone beside the TGSP for comparison (to compare the color side by side). The protector appears to be slightly more yellow and the phone is slightly more silver than the protector (if that makes sense). For me, it's a very close match so I'm considering it a very acceptable match.
I did a dry placement to verify the cutouts before sticking it in place. The holes were precise in their position, although at the top there's an additional hole to the left of where the light sensor and LED are. My phone doesn't have anything behind that hole. The camera cutout seems to be centered well with the other cutouts centered as well.
I cleaned the screen following the instructions and carefully put it in place and massaged the whole glass to ensure a good fit.
In the following pic, you can see in the reflection the bit of "sheen" or something that is slightly "off" when looking at the clarity. Polishing the front did nothing to resolve this.
The adhesive seems to be sufficient to hold it well. On the sides, the protector seems to be cut short ever so slightly. Possibly to leave room for a case to attach. It's so slight that I'd barely notice if I wasn't scrutinizing the fit and finish.
The curve seems to be right on the money. My screen seems to have lost a tad bit of sensitivity while typing near the edge (curve) but the edge responsiveness doesn't seem lacking.
I also have the OEM Samsung leather case and took some closeup pics of the combination.
I was cautious when installing the case after the glass. The case doesn't cause the glass to lift (yet) and seems to hide the edge of the protector very well.
The raised lip at the top of the case and slightly raised lower corners do not seem to be large enough to keep the glass off of a table if placed face down. I noticed my home button stuck out enough to almost touch a table with this case on. After installing the glass, the home button is slightly recessed lower than the protector and as such will not be scratch free if placed face down.
Overall I'm very pleased with the fit and finish and how well it works with the OEM Samsung leather case. I'll reserve another post for future updates after I've used it for a few weeks.

Update 4/22:
My screen protector is lifting at the top left side due to poor adhesion. I've asked for a refund.
It still has better fit than the other options we currently have, but I'm taking it off and waiting for a Zagg.

Nice review. Hopefully this one is a winner. The biggest thing holding me back from getting one right now, is the fact that they end up disappointing everyone few days/weeks down the road.

Thanks for the review. I never had a glass screen protector and wanted one but have mixed feelings. There seems to be compromises to be made (less responsiveness, might come off, "sheen", looks since I prefer just a clear one so I can see my gold s7 edge true color). I am really tempted to go naked on it but I been reading that some people have scratches on their screens When no protection. I would still probably go with this tho.
Thanks
So no more front lip on the Samsung leather case after TGSP? That sucks. I ordered the case today anyways, LOL
The only thin & clear case I have that still offers a front lip & doesn't affect the TGSP at all is the Tauri clear case.
Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
Yeah it kinda sucks (the lip ordeal).. I can feel it's raised up a bit but mostly because the glass turns down a bit. The protector rolls up a bit before it makes the "edge" turn and I think this is where it would touch.
It's an ever so slight touch when face down, but I think it does touch in places.
If the phone got dropped face down with this case and protector, the protector would break most likely.

Just fitted a black GPEL screen protector to my S7 edge.
The fit is fantastic. It's also really easy to fit.
My only criticism is that there's a slight "haze" to the inside of the screen protector that gives a slight sparkling effect with a light screen.
Fitted my black one yesterday. Not a fan..
Mine does not look black but blue?
Also the responsiveness is not that good. I can hardly press a or q on a nordic keyboard. I really have to press down hard to get those letters.
My Gpel glass came with a few dents in it.. Maybe this is why the responsiveness is so bad. I have emailed gpel about this.
The glass is not clear but sparkly.. I don't like that at all.. I feel like I am giving up too much quality of this awesome screen just to protect it.
I will try again if I get a replacement, but for now it is back to a Ultimate Shield screen protector for me.

I noticed the effect as well. I'm a window tinter by trade so glass is my Forte and I noticed the haze right away.
In the OP there's a picture of the bottom the screen with a reflection of my ceiling fan lights where I mentioned this effect. It's very evident in that picture.
I don't notice it much while using the phone though so YMMV

I can notice the slight sparkle when there's a light background.
That said it appears to be the best available screen protector out for the S7 edge.

I read all the threads and reviews and chose this one for that reason.
Maybe Zagg or someone else will release one that's even better, but until then, this one fits the bill as long as it doesn't lift or anything in a few weeks.

I have been lurking here looking for a good glass sp, and since you mentioned sheen a few times in this thread and the other, and since noone seems to be telling you why, i thought i'd log in to my old acc and enlighten you.
This "sheen" problem usually occurs in cheap screen glass screen protectors in days of old. When glass screen protectors were still a novelty. When people were still experimenting with how glass SPs should stick on your phone. This problem occurs when the whole glass does not touch the screen. By putting a layer of glue, even less than a milimeter, on the top and bottom part of the screen, the rest of the glass is essentially hovering over your phone's screen.
When it does touch it, glass on glass, u get that swirl problem. that oilly problem. And it will only get worse as time goes by as the glass that sticks together tends to stay together, due to friction, and then the rest of the glass sp starts to bend

It seems to be on the exterior as well. I also noticed it before I put the sp on the phone.
I'll agree that is inherent in this glass protector, and it really sucks but I'll live with it for now until something better comes along.
The rest of the fit and finish is outstanding imo.

I usually use a screen protector with every phone I've had but with the s7e it's just too hard to find something decent that doesn't affect the quality of the display "one of main reasons I went with s7e is for the gorgeous display, so instead of endless search and money for screen protector I just bought insurance instead
Anyone try this?

Righteo, our phones will be arriving in a week, which screen protectors should we be buying? Thoughts?
I'm tempted by a tempered glass (pun not intended, but I chuckled), but haven't had one before. They seem like they can be pretty thin these days and keep the nice feeling of glass instead of plastic. My Z3C came with protectors for front and back in the box, but looking at the "whats included" things, I can't see any mention of that for the XZ1c.
I guess the requirements are: can't be crap; gotta be reasonably easy to apply bubble free; nice to touch; not going to peel or flake after a few months; not a finger-print magnet; doesn't interfere with the touchscreen function; doesn't alter the colours.
Get your suggestions in! Mobilefun have a couple available to preorder, but I've got no reason to think these are any better than ones on Amazon etc.
Just got my XZ1 Compact from Sony HK. They gave me a third party "nano protector" which is crap; covers the screen but not the wall glass area, the texture is nice but it's a dust magnet. Looking for a full screen tempered glass protector now..
Sent from my G8441 using Tapatalk
Definitely go tempered glass, just dropped my nexus 5x today (a week before upgrade to XZ1 compact) and the screen protector cracked but the screen is fine. I also know a guy at work who has dropped his iphone at least 6 times and broken the screen protector only.
Im tempted to get the sony Xperia™ XZ1 Compact Style Cover Stand SCSG60 for a bit more protection but not sure how ill get on with a cover case like that.
Screen protector wise i've only seen these in the UK
Not sure whats curved about it but its official ish by the looks of it. Not sure i like the black boxes though.

Not heard of Olixar but this one has clear glass all over.

I found a cheap tempered glass protector, the only one I could find after couple of hours checking shops in Hong Kong.
It went to the trash bin after a day...
It covered the screen area only and its edges wouldn't stick to the phone glass...
Yes, I just found out that the XZ1 glass is 2.5D so it is slightly curved, very very slightly but still.
I guess it will be hard to find a full screen one then. The best option I've found on Internet is a curved plastic protector, similar to what I had on my S7 edge; it should cover nicely the whole area without bubbles or the issues all the curved tempered glass had, but this kind of material is fingerprint, smudges and grease magnet...

Purchased the full glass screen protector mentioned here as well as the Roxfit book case. Will let you guys know how it goes when I receive them.
Looks like the tempered glass ones don't reach to the edges due to curving of the screen. Might be a bit tricky to find one that covers the entire front properly, and even then, I guess glass is out of the question.

This is the Roxfit one, they do the cases under the 'made for xperia' partnership so id hope the glass would be good too (even if not made for xperia)
https://www.roxfit.mobi/products/sony-xperia-xz1-compact-full-cover-tempered-glass
Roxfit one looks the same, I think these ones with the coloured surrounds might be edge-to-edge. If you look at the clear options on Amazon a number of them mention they'll only cover the screen and not go to the edge due to curves. There are a couple of reviews on the XZ1 protectors that mention they don't go to the edge.
Should get mine tomorrow and just received notification of dispatch of my phone too, so hopefully they'll all rock up some time tomorrow.
I bought this screen protector and I'm a little disapointed. Although it was easy to put on and has a good finish. It doesn't wrap round the edges of the curved display and thb, I can't imagine there are any protectors that will.
Part of a screen protectors design is to be hard and ridgid to resist scratches, now get that hard material to wrap round a 90 degree corner.
I'll be interested in feedback of the other protectors listed here.

Easy to put on, I did it straight away, so I pulled off the shipping cover and slapped this one down in one movement. No dust, no bubbles.
The black frame is a little weird, the most noticeable bit is the cut out for the Sony logo. But be warned with these glass frames - you cannot use the official DK60 dock! It is just slightly too big to slot in to the correct sized bracket. I've had to use a bigger bracket and shove a bit of card down the back.
Anyone have a suggestion of a normal nonglass screen protector? I just love the one that originally came with my z3c - it's oleophobic so I honestly never see any fingerprint smudges on the screen.

So is it ok in use with the phone? Id rather have full coverage but ive seen some not full coverage ones that are completely clear and so wont look as odd with the black sections.
Alas, the only camera I have on me at the moment is my phone. But it doesn't look too bad, I can't see a clear one looking any better in reality as the thickness is the most distracting thing. A film one will get a snugger fit, but the clarity and feel isn't anywhere as nice as glass.
This one from Protectionfilms24.com is more up my street, old school film with cutouts only where they need to be but need to get more info on just how much "smaller than the display" it actually is.
(all screen protectors listed in this thread don't ship to my country and I'm not a big fan of colored frame either)
Last try until I give up and just use my phone without a screen protector.
Installed an " Imak Hydrogel " protector (installation requires water)... Good thing is it came with 2 pieces.
I have lot of experience with regular plastic ones and tempered glass but this is my first protector requiring water..
I've installed the first one and I had an horrible texture, when I decided to remove it I also tried to reposition it just to see if it could be better. Indeed it was but it was also already ruined by my fingerprints underneath. (it doesn't adhere to transparent tape, hard to find a way to peel it off or just reposition it)
I've then installed the spare one and is definitely better this time. Not perfect but definitely usable. I have to see how scratch prone it is and if it doesn't retain oil or fingerprints too much.
Oh yes and it is covering the whole glass edge to edge..

I went with the Omaton (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0755DYRYQ) as previously listed. Really not a fan of the black frame bits i just dont see the need and it stops one product being used by all coloured models which seems a bit unsound in a business sense too.
Still the application and packaging and all the stickers screen wipes and so on made the process really easy and i got a dust and bubble free application and pleased with the end result and i can live with the oddly boxed Sony logo.

You can see it goes past the edge of the screen, but doesn't quite meet the edge of the phone (due to curving). So unless somebody makes a shaped front piece, I think this probably going to be as good as it gets for glass.

That looks pretty damn good.
