I am using Vikuiti™ screen protector ADQC27 for
Samsung I5800 Galaxy 3 since Octomber and i must say that it is awesome! None scratch, and very good feeling!
Information
Crystal-clear and anti-reflective, hard-coated, dirt-repellent, very simple assembly, residue-free removal
The totally new 3M Vikuiti™ screen protector ADQC27 is designed for application on electronic screens and offers reliable protection from scratches and soiling.
The surface of the film is as smooth and shiny as glass. Adhesive and film are both crystal clear so that when applied, the film appears transparent. The special feature of this film is an additional anti-reflection coating that, in comparison to normal films, reduces the intensity of mirror images. The screen contrast can thereby be increased In high ambient light areas (if the screen is not already equipped with an anti-reflection coating). Black becomes even blacker.
The hard coating of the Vikuiti™ screen protector ADQC27 furthermore offers optimal mechanical protection from scratches. An additional non-adhesive layer ensures that the protective film is also dirt-repellent enabling the removal of ball-point pens and marker pens ink through dry wiping.
An optimised adhesive layer ensures an easy-to-apply, bubble free application of the Vikuiti™ screen protector ADQC27. The adhesive layer is only slightly adhesive and readily forms a film over even surfaces. The protective film can easily be removed or repositioned at any time.
The film is optimised for use on resistive and capacitive touch screen and does not impair operability.
Our Vikuiti™ screen protectors are cut by laser in Germany on state-of-the-art machinery. Exact tailoring to forms and excellent border adhesion are guaranteed.
One package (set) contains:
1 Vikuiti™ screen protector ADQC27. For devices with multiple displays, the package contains one film for each display.

Shame he doesn't have one for i5801. It's about the same, but the cutout for the home button won't fit I guess.

From my awsm Galaxy 3.....
I'm just curious if anyone has removed it and it is better with no issues. I didn't get the extra one in the box and the one on there already has a hairline scratch that is annoying me, I've never had a screen protector on any smartphone before....
i have removed it and no the sony logo doesnt peel off like on the z, i have applied IQ screen protector and it is way better int terms of scratches and fingerprint smudges.

Thanks, I'll check into that screen protector. I was curious too if anyone has left it off (without another one) and had any issues - I've read some people saying it has no oleophobic coating so gets a lot of fingerprints. And so I read about a product called Fusso Smartphone http://www.amazon.com/Anti-fingerprint-Oleophobic-SmartPhone-TM-necessary/dp/B008HVBU9O and am thinking maybe this can be used? Or is it good by itself after removing screen protector
I would only suggest that u use a screen protector made specifically for your phone brand and model type.
Should you get a protector ? only you can decide what kind of person you are and how to treat things you purchase.
but in my instance
I took my OEM screen protector off a day earlier than when the new one was to arrive. that was a long day, constantly had to remind my self to be careful of where I put my phone. I am quite pleased with IQ s screen protector

The screen film that comes stock on the Xperia ZL (as well as the Z) is not a screen protector...it is a film (protector) to help keep the glass from shattering. I have heard and seen the video where the kid decides to remove this level of protection. Why? Because he is crazy. I purchased the Skinomi Tech Skin screen protector (wet application) and installed it right over the stock film and it works beautifully. No degradation of the HD screen quality nor sensitivity of touch. Now, I have both a screen protector on top of the film to protect the screen from shattering as originally shipped from Sony.
I am not sure of the tempered nature of the Sony screens. Definitely not Gorilla Glass 1 or 2 but, I have heard it is from an Asian company that makes similar screens to Gorilla Glass (I thing it is called Dragontrail). I guess you could argue if the screen on the ZL was of the Gorilla Glass quality or better, the point would be mute, and no screen or shatter film protection would be necessary.
Good quality screen protector is a small investment to protect such a beautiful phone.

Sorry, but you are incorrect. It is a screen protector. In Japan, it is really common practice to sell phones with factory/service installed screen protector, because it saves person from trouble of trying to apply protector without dust getting under it, also adhesive could be used for more robust installation. So when somebody scratches theirs, they just pop in the service to get protector replaced instead of replacing whole screen - it saves company & user lot of costs.
This film protects glass from shattering to extent, but no more than any screen protector does. Its pointless to install second protector on top of it, this will only reduce backlight brightness & sensitivity (even if slightly).
Whatever it is, it sucks. I've never had a screen protector before, the glass feels way better to me, and probably looks a little better. The thing that comes on here scratches so easy - all I ever do it set it down screen up or put it in my pocket with nothing else in that pocket. Not to mention the lint it attracts..
I ordered the Fusso smartphone stuff for applying an oleophobic coating, seems to have gotten mostly good reviews, when I get it i'm removing this screen protector. I'll post results when i'm done..
So I removed the screen protector, wasn't hard at all just had to use a pin to get it started. To me, the glass feels way better and looks better. I applied the Fusso smartphone for adding an oleophobic coating last night. So far so good, after being on the phone a little bit this morning I saw some fingerprints and just used my shirt to wipe them off and they came right off - I guess the oleophobic coating is working, although it didn't seem bad even before I put it on the glass. Sony should really abandon the practice of putting a screen protector on new phones ( i don't think anyone else does), maybe include it, but this feels way better to me without it.

So... Sony logo really doesn't come off with the screen protector right? Good to know.
A question: Is the screen really scratch resistant? Searched for some videos and didn't find any screen scratch test, etc. I know you're not going to scratch your screen just to test it, but, do you leave it with keys, coins...? Would be glad to know if gets scratched easily or not. And when you take off the screen protector, is there any hard to remove glue on the screen?

What do you mean by "really scratch resistant"? Do you mean scratch-proof? Because its not, and there is no such thing as scratch-proof material. If you find something harder than glass, you can scratch it. Ordinary sand is the best example.
If you carry phone in pocket with keys (or in jeans pocket with studs which could contact screen when you move it from/to pocket), I recommend using screen protector.
To remove tackiness which could be left from original one, just use some alcohol to clean it.
Just picked these up while I wait on the perfect tgsp. Have to say I am super impressed...I may just roll with these for the time being. Covers full screen and edges with a built in curvature. Don't know how they stick but they do. Running an OEM case so I can't comment on the case friendliness other than the flip cover which is perfect.

These prevent scratches, but do they also prevent the screen from cracking if you drop the device? I went with glass screen protector but that's because in the past, any time I've had issues with dropping the device, the glass screen protector cracked or shattered, but the device's actual screen protector was intact.

Hi Guys,
Quick question. I realize I didn't go for an expensive tempered glass protector, however, looking for the most honest answer on losing any touch sensitivity with even the high end, tempered, curved tempered glass protectors... Do you lose sensitivity when you installed yours?
On flat screen phones in the past, I haven't had this issue, however with this phone, I notice a significant deal of touch sensitivity, especially when I'm trying to use it when it's laying flat on a table and I'm trying to swipe at it at am angle.
Looking for honest answers... No matter how expensive your protector yours was... Thank you!
Depends on how well the TGSP sits on the phone.
I haven't heard of any touch sensitivoty issues with full adhesive ones like the whitestone dome.
The ones with only adhesive on the borders, you might lose sensitivity if for example the glass in the middle lifts/not sitting flat or if the vendor used some crap material.
I have only had experience with the Olixar and some no name brand from the local shop, both side adhesive and both were fine on sensitivity
Tempered glass touch sensitivity
Probably, this might depend on the quality of tempered glass screen protector that you are using. Its installation also matters the most. See to it whether it has fit your phone perfectly or not.
So far I haven’t heard any such issues and I personally haven’t faced any such problems.
Try the TGSP from Otium on Amazon. It's cheap & pretty good. It's also case-friendly.

I just bought a Luvvit screen protector for my s9+ and immediately notice the same thing. I have to press really hard on the screen when typing now. I'm going to give it the night to see if it adheres any better. Otherwise, its coming off.

Guys,
This is the best solution I have found (for the price), a full screen adhesive TGSP for £9.00.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-...341497?hash=item2f0d1b14b9:g:CFIAAOSw3WxaRXwn
No loss in sensitivity no dot matrix on screen, and is case friendly too. Although this technically is for the S* with their identical screen dimensions, this should work on the S9 too.
And no, its not like the other cheap TGSP on the market as this one sticks entirely to the glass with no gaps.
Give it a try.

Is it really adhesive across the *whole* screen? It's an amazing price. Is it real glass or some sort OF Tough plastic? Can you scratch it with something sharp, like a knife? Do you have a manufacturer website URL?

Yes it really is full screen adhesive, and yes it really is glass.........but.......it is some sort of glass/plastic composite, which has the hardness of tempered glass (so no, you can't scratch it), but a little elasticity and flex like plastic, which is actually needed to fit the protector to the phone. I know its definitely glass, as this is my second one, and when removing the first one (phone fell out of my pocket whilst cycling and TGSP shattered on one edge) the whole thing shattered like TGSP are supposed to. Will post some pictures later today when I get the chance, but after almost a year of trying different varieties, TGSP with glue around edges, TPU ones, PET ones etc, I have to say that for the money this is the best solution I've found. The only one I can imagine that is better than this would be the whitestone one, however, this is easier to install, and a fraction of the price too!
These new tempered glass protectors with the black surround adhesive are terrible. Poor touch sensitivity and a weird hollow feel/sound because they don't actually sit flat on the screen. Are there any non-adhesive tempered glass protectors that are worth looking into? Amazon reviews are spotty. for every brand and every type of protector for the G8.

Tried this 32nd Extra Armoured Tempered Glass Screen Protector which is equivalent to the GPEL and seems to be alright but the adhesive isn't great I managed to move the screen protector out of position by a little force. Probably may to consider ones with full adhesive...

Gonna try after I run through my 2 gpels lol just put one on should be good unless I drop it awkwardly then it's on to the 2nd one
Using the LK film protector I linked earlier. Goes on like the ringke film, using multiple steps and doing 1/2 at a time. Feel is good. A little stickier than a tempered glass protector, but it's solid on the screen. No air gap. I think it might be interfering with the crystal sound display a bit. Volume seems a little lower now.

I have several of the Ringke stocked up, they have a great installation process. I personally enjoy the film (dry application) protectors more than glass as they have a much slimmer profile. The downside is that they offer little impact protection and can be imprinted, but they're cheap enough that I just keep a few around and change them as needed.
This was the only full-adhesive glass protector I could find. DON'T buy it! I left pics in my Amazon review showing why: Our screen glass curves before the pixels end. The only way to have a flat piece of glass stick to the whole screen is to cut it smaller than the visible screen edges. This one hangs off the sides by 3mm, rendering the edges useless.
[2 Pack] LG G8 ThinQ Screen... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NZZ6YGY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I've just ordered the only one I could find that claims to be smaller than the screen area, but the description still makes it a bit tough to know what to expect.
https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-Protector-Coverage-Tempered-Adhesive/dp/B07QJ41M2H
Update: DON'T BUY THESE. This one is even worse, as it's way too tall. Again, the scroll bars don't work because you can't touch them. Total trash.
Unfortunately, unless they make one with genuinely curved glass that follows the screen, there won't be a useful full-adhesive protector for our phone. It looks like every glass protector is flat. They advertise rounded edges, but are still flat glass. If you don't believe me, please look at the pictures I've left in the Amazon reviews. These should never have been made.
Tempered glass is used to protect the screen from scratches and also Protect direct damage of the screen. any branded Tempered Glass is famous with their Hard surface and smooth working. I always prefer Casper Tempered Glass and Whitestone dome Glass.
Add this one to the list of screen protectors that don't work. It won't lay flat on the sides. Long air gaps up/down both sides.
Here's the item description on Amazon. I can't post links yet.

Full Body Skin
You may want to think about giving the Skinomi Full Body Skin a try. I wouldn't say that it feels as smooth as a glass protector, but it does wonders at protecting the back of the phone. It also keeps it from slipping off of surfaces and easier to hold! Very nice for those times when you don't want to wear a case. The back protector doesn't interfere with any cases, and the front protector covers the entire screen of the device. Skinomi's warranty is pretty legit too.
I've used it on my Nexus 4, v30 and now the G8.
I'm using an AILUN screen protector with a SPIGEN TOUGH ARMOUR case and they fit and work perfectly together. Got them both off EBay.
I was wondering if screen protectors might dull the sound, since the screen itself is a speaker.
I just placed the wet install IQ Shield on my new G8. I haven't even turned it on yet as I'm in a contract on a stupid Note 9,but I like them on my last 4 devices.
