Xperia ZL Screen Protectors - Sony Xperia ZL

Hi Xperia ZL owners,
I noticed that we have a case and covers thread but no screen protector thread. I know there is information in the general forums about screen protectors, but I want to open a new thread here to document ZL users' experience with different screen protector brands specifically for our device.
The format will be simple. Please state the brand and simple details then rate 1 - 5 for the various qualities of the screen protector. If you feel like I have missed something, please feel free to let me know. I want to make this thread as helpful to everyone as I can.
Here is my example:

Included accessories: Lint cloth and applicator card
Ratings:
Feel: 4
Slight resistance when swiping. Not as smooth as stock.
Fit: 3
Does not line up exactly with the camera hole. The camera cutout is slightly skewed to the left. The top has a 1mm gap to the bezel.
Clarity: 5
Very clear. I There is little to no difference to the stock protector.
Responsiveness: 4
It seems like there is a slight dip in responsiveness. It might be due to me using this on top of the original screen protector.
Durability: TBD
I have only used it a week so this will be updated when I get to a month of usage.
Fingerprint resistance: 5
It lives up to its promise of being anti-fingerprint when my hands are clean.

Can I put a matte-anti-fingerprints screen protector over the original Sony´s screen protector?
Does it affect the response of the screen?
Thanks in advanced!

Our ZL has no tempered glass screen protector anywhere online? if there's one. where can i buy?

Recommend a "full screen" protector?

I'm looking for a screen protector that fully covers the front screen. I've indicated the most common areas that are not covered by various screen protectors out there:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'd like at least areas A, C, and D covered. Can anyone recommend a good film for this? I don't want any of the soft films like BSE or Zagg that will easily indent with regular stylus use. Like most other users, I'd prefer something with minimal rainbow effect, good image clarity, and fingerprints that are easy to wipe off (I don't mind fingerprints but I'd like to be able ot easy wipe them off - oleophobic coatings are a bit extreme IMO). I've read a bunch of reviews here on xda and other forums of different SPs but each one seems to have one major drawback or doesn't cover the screen like I'd prefer. Any suggestions?
Anyone?
SGP GLAS.t. Hands down the best. Trust me I have tried them all and wasted too much money in the process.
It covers the areas you want, its oleophobic, and I have found absolutely no faults after 2 months.
Its a tad expensive, but you are paying for what you get, and that is the best.

I have a friend using spg glas t. It won' t affect the sensitivity. I want it for my note but its abit expensive for me.. But i would definitely save up for it coz its a good investment to protect our precious notes..
It was the one thing that made me sceptical as well, but it doesn't affect the SPen at all and I use it at least once a day.

thanks! worth a shot then instead of blowing money on the different softer SPs to find the "perfect" one
anything but the oleophobic sgp. Total waste of money. I got the exact same results from a £1 protector both in grease resistant property and screen visibility.
SGP Samsung Galaxy Note Screen Protector GLAS.t Premium Tempered Glass Series
Bought this "SGP Samsung Galaxy Note Screen Protector GLAS.t Premium Tempered Glass Series" yesterday, for 30 quid. First time I ever invested 30 quid for a screen protector. But its worth it.
I agree with all those that said the Glass.t. I installed it yesterday and its amazing. Full protection just as you want. The clarity is just fantastic. It is expensive but I'm sure it will last and keep your phone looking like new.

No more cases for me

I have stop using cases for quite sometime. The main reason is that here in Cambodia it is so affordable and convenient to get gadget flim wrap.
In the past I only use either clear and frosted flims. I opt for colored flim for my SIII.
Here is how it look like.

from the original post.
the point of cases are to protect your phone.
if you want it to just look good, then i think your idea is great.
but when the phone drop face down then i dont think there would be any protection

Is that a wrap on the side as well? if so then how it feel and does it look like it will peel easily? I could use one on my pebble blue phone where the bezel is purple!
I'm going to give the official flip case a try once I finally get my Verizon version of the SGS3 here in the US. I'm bummed out that it doesn't have a magnetic clasp or anything to keep it closed, but at the same time it's a full on case so the phone should obviously handle drops much better. That all being said, the phone is gorgeous and I'm not gonna want keep it hidden! I have the full protection from Verizon so whatever happens to my phone I'll just get another one anyways.
I'm still on the fence. At this point though I'm leaning more towards no case.
i don't think screen protector is of any use because it is gorilla glass
Sent from my GT-I9300
I actually think my white S3 looks better with a Matt black case, because I like the white border around the camera, flash and speaker which contrasts against the black case, and then the black border around edge of phone, I mean not everyone will like that but I dog
I doesn't peel off easily and yes the side is wrapped. So far all the film that the shop doesn't love residue when it is removed.
It is a rough textured. Sort of like mildly used sand paper.

Would be great if someone did a screen protector comparison of all the $1-$10 brands out there to see what, if any differences there are in actual use.
As long as it comes in a box so the protector can't become bent in shipping I imagine they're all quite similar.

Amzer Kristal SP for N5 at Fommy
Well in my past experience with my older phones the major problem I used to face with the screen protectors was their cut out problems they dont have such fine cut outs and due to that it also creates problem at the time of installation and even result into bubbles......but this time I bought this Amzer Kristal Screen protector for my N5 , its a dry application and has very fine cut outs...no problem in the installation and believe me not a single bubble at all...
I am really happy to have it on my N5..it does not make any impact on the screen and its touch sensitivity...so far its working very fine and smooth....I got it from Fommy....for almost $ 7 - SHIPPED...which I would say quite worth one.....so you can just check it out once...may be you like this one because its better to take a good one rather than to go for these cheap ones because of some bucks discounts and all . As SPs can directly effect your screen and nobody likes to take any risk on it for sure...especially when they have their new and fav gadget in their hands .Can't say about all...But I will never.... ....I like this SP and my N5 both......
Thanks

Compatibility: Specifically designed for Google Nexus 7 FHD 2nd Generation/2013
Designed specifically for a fast, easy, 100% bubble-free application and made of the ultimate, high-quality invisible film
Protect screen from daily scratches, dust, scrapes, and normal signs of wear
Attaches quickly and smoothly with self-adhering surface, leaves no residue when removed
Includes: 1xBye-Bye Bubble Ultimate Screen Protectors, Micro-Fiber Cleaning Cloth, Squeeze card
Being the cheapskate I am, I was using a 1st gen Nexus 7 screen protector cut to fit the new Nexus 7. It's safe to say the amFILM screen protector was a step up.
First it's worth mentioning the screen protector was in a good stiff cardboard holder. Protects it from bends during shipping. It's good to see this as a lot of cheaper screen protectors are just sent in an envelope from ebay.
It comes with quite a bit of nice accessories. The microfiber is good in size and quality. It's better than the small cheap ones thats usually included. It also comes with a squeegee and lint remover/hinge stickers. The lint remover/hinge stickers are meant for any dust you can see on the screen before applying or used as a hinge for applying the film.
Also for the noobies to applying screen protectors, it has step by step directions for best results. The have instructions for 2 methods. Hinge method (what the stickers are for) and regular method.
There is a single cutout for the light sensor and camera. It's a perfect fit on the screen, good feel, no loss in touch sensitivity of the tablet, no rainbow effects and not to sticky when swiping your finger across it. Super Clear and can barely tell there is a protector on it.
Overall I'm very happy with it. Great customer service and lifetime warranty! Whats not to like?
Looks good, thanks for sharing

This protector is fairly large so there isn't a huge margi. Of error when applying. However they have a 30 day money back guarantee and are willing to send you more protectors if you have trouble.
I bought a tech armor sp (as a spur of the moment sort of thing) when it comes in I'll write up a review
Sent from my SGH-I747 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thanks for the review. I've had the amfilm SP on for about a week and I seem to be experiencing a bit of touch response interference. It seems to get worse when there are a lot of smudges on the screen. Luckily that only happens... All the time because the trade off with this SPs great clarify is its penchant for fingerprints.
Anyone else having touch response problems? I'm close to removing the sp altogether to see if the responsiveness returns or if there's a deeper delay issue with hardware. My guess is the SP is at fault.
That said, it installed easy, has great clarity, and was at a great price point. Hard to beat 2 for $7... amazon prime helps, too.
Yup, awesome products at a GREAT price!! I used nothing but Ghost Armor for years. After trying TechMatte though, that's all I'm buying from here on out. I've got their screen protectors on my N7 FHD and Note 3. I also use their Qi Receiver in my Note 3, as well as their car mount. All excellent products!

Brief review after a week of use.
Smooth to touch like or I glass. Not much finger prints. It is thinner compared to 0.3mm temperee glass but only noticeable when touching edges.
Haven't dropped it yet (phew) so can't say on durability.
If you look at the phone with screen off against say ceiling light at an angle and move the phone, you can see distortion in the glass (wave effect). However totally not noticeable when screen is on.
So far so good for me for the price
