Xperia V screen durability.

[TobiAmira]

Is there anyone here who didn't put a scratch proof screen protector over his anti-shatter sheet and has had his phone for more than 6months? I want to know how the screen is now. I don't like the feel of screen protectors but I don't like scratch filled screens even more. Thank you.

Its all about how you handle your phone, if you keep it away from keys, coins, etc it shouldn't be scratched 

[TobiAmira]

Thank you. I don't keep my phone around keys and coins but what about the scratches from typing and swiping and the likes. Do you think I'll be fine?

[TobiAmira]

also do you have an extra screen protector on yours?

[Uliwooly]

I don't have the Xperia V but I do have the Xperia T, Z, etc which have a similar if not the same ASF (anti-shatter film) even previous Xperias like my Arc or X10, its just plastic and after a year or so you will notice small scratches here and there, which is normal, but you should apply a scratch resistant either film or glass 

[TobiAmira]

Thanks. Problem is I live in Nigeria. There are no scratch resistant screen protectors here so I'll have to make do till the next time Im in the US.

[Uliwooly]

You might want to consider a tempered glass screen protector rather than a plastic film 

[TobiAmira]

Okay. I'll ask for one when I go out in a bit.

[TobiAmira]

Do you know if I can use an Xperia S scratch resistant screen protector on my V? U can't find any for the V but the S is 4.3 inches as well

[Uliwooly]

Yeah it is the same size 4.3in  screen
