Z1 Screen protector, once again.

[Daniel_J]

My Enlish is far from pefect, but here we go.

I'm thinking about buing an Z1, for the moment I've Samsung phones.

What makes me think twice is the original screen protector that is pre-installed on the Z1.

Idon't like to get scraches, so a screen protector is a good thing - but the Sony proection cancan't be removed, so what purpse is it to have there?
Mess it up and the screen/phone is ruined.

Is it possible to install an extra screen protector film over the original one?
Is it posible to remove the after market protection without messing up the original one?

If I, in the future, want to replace the original screen protector, is it possible to do that and how much would it cost? Guess it would be to send the phone to Sony service?

Do the warranty cover scratches on the original screen protector?

I even spelled "English" wrong on the first line

The film its an anti-shatter film (ASF) its not scratch resistant, you can apply an extra scratch resistant film on top, if you remove the ASF you will remove the Sony logo and you will void your warranty, this film it is not sold separately.

Ok, so it's possible to put on a scratch resistant film without ruin the ASF. Thanks for that information.

If I buy this phone I think I would choose a tempered glass layer, I got it on my Samsung and it works great.

I've been looking into that, but I'm not sure how good it'll be, so please do report back once you get it, sensitivity wise. 

send me a private message when you do

like other have said you can install a screen protector over and you should do it for good reason. I got a tiny little scratch on mine, which **bleep** like a sore thumb because i've only had for less than 8 weeks. Dont pay too much for a screen protector, you cna get a  quality one for less than 12 bucks from ebay.

absolutely agree with you that glass screen is great. I bought it from here (actually not cost much), and it works well until now. My touch sceen is clear  and sensitive as usual.

And i tried to scratch it with a knife like the video do , it really suprised me. There was nothing on the surface finally.  But it has a disadvantage. It's easy to stay the fingerprints like the result on a real LCD screen.
