Protection for Z1S (T-Mobile USA). Any recommendations?

HI there. Just ordered my Z1S and I'm really excited. Unfortunately it is new, limited to one carrier, and designed slightly differently than the international equivalent. So that means it's hard to find accessories.
I'm wondering if there are any manufacturers I should look out for that might produce a product I could use to protect the glass on the front and back. From what I've seen they are in fact pretty shatter-proof, but seem to scratch very easily.
I've never been the type to ever put a case on my phone, personally I think they detract from the beauty of the device, but I've seen some Nillkin glass screen protectors that don't look too bad.

I bought the Nilkin tempered glass for my Z1. Will never use any screen protector but tempered glass from now on. Really happy with it.
Couldn't get the link but search for this on eBay.

I already contacted the seller on ebay to see if they could source it for the Z1S. I don't see why not. That stuff all comes from factories in Shenzen and Shanghai... they can pump out stuff so fast. They have accessories made long before a device is announced.

My understanding is that the phone comes with the factory screen protector already installed

And in my experience when something is shatterproof it tends to scratch easily. Just like when something doesn't break it bends. There's always a tradeoff when you want lightweight protection.
There's some nasty scratch tests on youtube with the z1. Some drop tests too. Didn't shatter, but it didn't look pretty after.
If I can put an additional layer of strong glass on the front and back protect the nice stuff underneath... worth it.

Did you ever find a good screen protector? I got a scratch on the factory one and want to remove it to replace it. At least I hope the scratch is only on the protector...
Thanks

Check out xtreme guard, they have both wet and dry install screen protectors for Z1s. I got both but used wet first.
So far, our Z1s doesn't have a reliable glass protector. I'm waiting for spigen to have one.

Screen protector

Any idea if screen protectors for the original Z tablet are going to fit on the Z2?

Go with Tempered Glass Protector!

I personally bought this from ebay: H1 Ultra Thin Clear Tempered Glass Film Protector F Sony Xperia Z2 10.1" Tablet
I have put it on my z2 and it looks great and I have the extra protection.
I actually didnt think these tempered glass were really what they say they are, but this weekend, my phone, z1s fell and had a crack on the screen. I was so upset! :crying: But when I inspected it closer, I noticed the crack was on the tempered glass I have on it!!!! :victory: so it really did work and absorb the break. So that $10 glass saved me a bunch of money!!
So if you dont have one, think about getting one. Well worth the $15 you pay for.

screen protectors for Xperia Z tablet works on Xperia Z2 tablet, im using it on mine atm. it fits perfectly if youre still wondering .

anyone got any suggestions for matte ones?
I bought an ebay cheapie. It works re: anti glare and has actually really helped the fingerprint magnet factor / made the surface 'slide' better, but it has a weird polarising effect that's clearly visible as a sort of strange colour/pattern overlay, so on the fence about whether it was the right move or not...
On the first Sony Tablet S there was an official screen protector that had all the anti glare properties but didn't show a funny pattern, I'm looking for basically that effect.

I bought this tempered glass screen protector from eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/191544717348?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Not too expensive and it arrived very fast from Hong Kong (1 week) and in a crazy overdone packaging. It was inside a large foam box, so no chance of it breaking in shipping
It comes with a wet and dry wipe and installation is like every other glass screen protector. It was a bit tricky to get it on, since it's so large, but I managed on my 2nd try. I'm pretty happy with it, no bubbles and no weird colors. I was hoping it would bring less fingerprints, but it seems to be about the same as without. The screen touch seems to be better though somehow.
Also keep in mind that the hole on the protector isn't for the front facing camera, but for the ambient light sensor! At first I thought I had received the wrong item

I recently changed from my normal plastic screen protector for a 0.3 MM glass screen protector and love it! Looks way better than plastic ones, resists scratches much better and I can slide my finger over it much more easily. Would definitely recommend a glass protector. Buy one for your phone to try it first if you're unsure as they do cost quite a bit more, but for phones aren't much more expensive than cheap plastic ones.

[Q] Z3 compact - Anti shatter film?

I was wondering if anyone can confirm whether or not the z3 compact comes with antishatter film on the front or back?
Cheers for any clarification.

It does not, on either side. Just glass, with an optional matte screen protector for the front included in the box for you to apply or not.

Cool that's good news. When mine arrives it will be treated to a nice coat of crystalusion front and back, then slip into a tranparent silicone case. Until the smart view case is released!

where are you purchasing the crystalusion and transparent case?

This is not exactly true as mine did not come with a screen protector in the box. Mine is a 1291-5073.1 variant which I believe is Latin American.

Dunno about those brands but I bought a generic one here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/0-26...tter-Explosion-Proof-for-Sony/2001340818.html
Piece of cake to apply, looks good and doesn't even have a scratch yet.

Of course Nillkin .!!

Nilkin here also!

Nilkin as well! I just wish Nilkin had one for the back also, because I bought some Chinese tempered glass for the back and it is (as expected) very low quality.

guys how do you cope with the touch screen when it goes crazy when the phone is warm ? all screen protectors i tried still had this problem
but turning off the screen will fix it

Not glass but try media devil screen protectors , had one on for 4mths now and it looks as good as it did the day I put it on. I will never buy another brand again

Tempered glass

Does anyone use a tempered glass? Because of the curved edges I suppose that a tempered glass will not cover the hole screen and might look ugly. I currently have a simple screen protector that looks fine, but I am thinking of buying a Nillkin tempered glass like e.g the one in the link http://m.ebay.com/itm/HOT-NILLKIN-9...en-For-HUAWEI-MATE-S-/262097328806?nav=SEARCH
In general I am satisfied with the quality of this brand. Any other suggestions?

have you tried this one yourself? how does it fit? so far all the ones i have tried are too small i would like it to fit nearer the edges so it is not so obvious.
has anyone been able to find one that fits very close to the edges.

There's now some companies making Tempered Glass specifically for curved edges like iPhone 6/s, Galaxy etc etc.
The trick is apply silicone on the edges of the tempered Glass.
But i haven´t found for Mate S yet...

has anyone found a tempered glass that fits correctly and does not leave too much of a gap at the edges and most of all reduces fingerprints on this thing?

My best fitment guess would be nillkin tempered h+pro. I just ordered it to my phone its ultra thin and it really protects screen from shattering if you drop (hand to floor). I have owned that protector on my Nexus5, G3 and G4 and i really love it.
