Hard coated shatterproof sheet on scratch-resistant glass?

[FrontierGate]

I find it under specifications,

http://www.sonymobile.com/in/products/phones/xperia-sola/specifications/

"Hard coated shatterproof sheet on scratch-resistant glass".

What does that mean?

[Uliwooly]

it has the same glass as any other Xperia, the only Xperia with Gorilla glass is Xperia Active, in other words you CAN scratch and break it quite easily

[FrontierGate]

Yes, but Xperia S, for example, has "Scratch-resistant, shatter proof sheet on mineral glass".

http://www.sonymobile.com/in/products/phones/xperia-s/specifications/

I want to know what's the difference.

Xperia Ion also has this, "Hard coated shatterproof sheet on scratch-resistant glass".

[Uliwooly]

it's the same thing Scratch Resistant Mineral Glass just different ways to advertise it

The hard coated shatterproof sheet is a pre-installed screen protector that functions like a car windshield does to prevent sharp pieces of glass from getting in your finger if it breaks.

I'll eventually remove the screen protector because it does show fine scratches, no matter how careful you are. I have read that the glass itself is more responsive and smooth with it removed.

[Uliwooly]

it is more responsive w/o any films.

From specification it is said that, "Scratch-resistant, Shatter Proof Sheet on Mineral Glass".

1. Since it already have a scratch resistant sheet, do i really need to buy a screen guard thin film sheet like the one in below link ?

   2. The "Shatter Proof Sheet on Mineral Glass".... is a replacable one??

How can we remove the original sheet in a safe way ? It seems to scratch pretty easily.  I think i will want to replace it with another protective sheet in a year ... tops
