[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mineralvann:
has anybody tried to remove the factory installed screenprotector? The reason i ask is because i removed the extra screenprotector that i installed when i got the phone since it had some inperfections, now i have a scratch in what i hope is the factory screenprotector and not the screen itself and a invisibleshield waiting to be installed but i cant remove the factory installed one
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azian_advanced:
yea... screen protectors are a b*tch to install. do it once and do it right.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkullDeath:
Any idea if the factory installed screen protector is for specific markets or is it global?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Retrosid:
Its global, though i dont like it and i might change it when i'll find a better one.

The screen protector that was pre-installed doesnt slide very well and leaves many fingerprints.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcOnFire:
Did you guys remove the pre-installed screen protector when applying a new one? Or just apply 2 layers at once? Is there any trouble when removing the pre-installed one ?

Im gonna order by the end of the week sgp steinheil: ultra optics film

The question is: how to remove the factory installed screen protector? Cause i tried with my hands and i was affraid that i will scratch the screen >.>
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlimau:
i tried to remove the 'so called' stock factory screen protector and there's no way i could remove it no matter how i peel....

:confused: is there really a pre-stick screen protector onthe phone?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartbla:
I removed my pre- installed screen-protector yesterday.

The touchscreen is better without the protector.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Retrosid:
Yeah but still unprotected from scratches.

I wont risk to use the phone without screen protector, i already scratched the screen protector and i went mad xD
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nimche:
I used x-acto blade to peel a corner off, you won't scratch it if you are careful. once you got it a little peeled to grab it, then you are set to pull. but keep your phone tight in your hand.

Good luck

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamiesquarters:
It took me a month to discover the already applied screen protection :D. I haven't found any extra screen protector in the package, but maybe I threw it away with the packaging without knowing :o. I have applied a zagg invisibleshield to the back of the phone but I'm not sure I want it on the touch screen yet.

So does anyone have an opinion on how good the factory applied screen protector is? Obviously it's pretty good in terms of user experience, as it's hardly noticeable and perfectly applied. But in terms of protection? Good enough to stick with it (no pun intended) as long as it holds? Or replace it as soon as possible?

My Rogers (Canada) Arc didn't have a protector at all. I went with a Zagg Inivisashild. It's not that bad to install, I actually did it while sitting in my car on my lap.

It's really hard to see but I think it's there.

All Rogers Arcs have pre-installed screen protectors. I've owned several and removed several screen protectors. The screen is much better without it.

SO at last can anyone recommend me a screen protector which does not distort my arc screen colour and protect my screen from scratches AND DOES NOT LIVE RESIDUAL WHEN REMOVED??????????
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
How is the screen of the Arc without the pre-installed screen protector?

Does it look even better and is it scratch resistant?

The pre-installed protector is scratchable and mine has some little scratches :(

If I hadn't read this thread I will never know that there is already a factory installed protector. But anyway I am definitely putting another protector over it, the fingerprint resistant ones. I hate fingerprints I wanted to smoothen mine off.

I think the SGP's screen protector is the best. I choose the Ultra Optics for my Arc.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarcSinger:
Doesn't work, mate. Maybe it does with other phones, but the protector seems to be glued to the screen on the SE Arc.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ucubz:
It little hard to remove, because that scatter proof film thicker than any screen protector I've ever use.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabuki8888:
I've just removed factory protector. Pull it up a bit with a scalpel tip and when you can catch it with your fingers or nails then pull it up. It will come off hardly but it WILL. At some time I had feeling that display will come out but it was only feeling. It won't leave any glue on screen. After removing the tape the tape the touch experience i better. I had same experience with my earlier Xperia X10.

I take no responsibility if you damage your screen
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulen:
does Xperia ARC S (LT18i) also come with screen protector already applied?

and btw does it come with one extra protector and leather case?

shouldn't digitizer be over screen so if you scratch "screen" you actually scratch digitizer, which is more expensive than screen protector, but much cheaper than screen itself?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luhccas-X10:
Yes.

In my retail package don't came with any extra protector :(
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulen:
Yes as it has 1 on, but no extra one?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Pinto:
Hey guys,

I heard a lot of stories about the "factory screen protector" and I'm still wondering what I should do. Actually it seems it has an extra-thin screen protector, however, I already read that Sony Ericsson doesn't recomend to pull it out and we should install a new protector over that one. Is this "Sony Ericsson Statement" true?

In addition, what do you think about invisibleShield protectors from ZAGG? Thank you!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Well, works good without that thing :D

Zagg make protectors where your fingers can't slide over very well form what I've read.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Factory Screen Protector is nothing but extra-thin... Try extra-thick.

It's 3 times thicker than a normal screen protector and it gets greasy from fingertips way too fast. I removed it after a week and applied a matte screen protector I got from eBay. Screen brightness is reduced but no more finger marks on the screen. A clear one should be perfect.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Pinto:
Hey guys,

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/martin-f...ack-sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-s-arc-p27587.htm

Any feedbacks about these protectors? I'm sick of fingerprints. Are these good and anti-fingerprints?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian85:
I really hope there is a screen protector on there (i see what appears to be a thin layer of something) because I just purchased this phone and I have micro scratches all over the screen.

Has there been any official statement saying there is actually a factory screen protector on there?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Pinto:
It definitely has one :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doomed151:
I think SE claimed the screen as "scratch resistant" because of the preinstalled protector. If you remove it, it will be scratched easily.

Dropped mine without the shutter screen two times, well one time a girl dropped it (grrr) and the screen is fine :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadman3000:
Screen protectors on this phone are a waste of time unless you are a builder. The screen is anti-scratch anyhow and oleophobic (resistant to fingerprints). I had one on for a couple of days and took it off. Much better! More sensitive and if your fingers are not sweaty I hardly see any finger smudges. Also it's a LOT easier to clean with a glasses cleaning cloth.

Also I keep mine in a soft case anyhow in my pocket so that helps protect it. Plus I have it on a neck lanyard for those butterfinger moments ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marcell96:
The Arc S should have scratch resistant screen,

I don't know if a screenprotector is really needed?

I am using Amzer Matte Finish Screen Protector

I am using Amzer Matte Finish Screen Protector on my Arc S.I never noticed any touch sensitivity issues.The thing which i admire most is the smoothness, Anti Finger Print, Anti Glare and Dust repelling too.It provides easy to use skins while reducing the glare, easily usable all the times while keeping it protected.It held up after undertaking keys, scratches and other small mishaps and still worked perfectly even if it did show some very minor damage.It is much easier to view either in the fluorescent lighting of the office or just outside in a bright, sunny day.

It Reduces 90% of UV Rays Caused by Reflected Light, Protecting your Eyes. Easy to remove without any adhesive or marks. Smudge repellant, will not leave oily marks from fingers. Bubble-free application.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naphtali:
I'm using SGP Ultra Fine. And so far, there's no problem. ^^ It has good quality and when I bought it, I got two. ^^ It has anti fingerprint and anti glare feature. Also, the sensitivity on my Arc S is still good. ^^

Accidentaly, I just discovered "stock" screen protector already fitted to my arc S, after I took a closer look on screen edge, and now I realize that I have a double protection...

I would never pay such price for a (single?) screen protector. I'm always bying screen protectors in packs of 3, 6, etc... Ofcourse I'm not bying the cheapest crap, but you can find decent protectors for reasonable price. eBay is full of them, and I'm always having myself prepared after bying a new phone. Now, I'm having 6 protectors in reserve, when current one gets scratched.

Scratch-resistant, shatter proof sheet on mineral glass.

But I think that sheet is oleophobic and scratch-resistant - not the mineral glass itself. I got my phone 4 days ago and I got a 2-3 cm long scratch at the bottom that is very well seen at white background. Anyone can say if there are more finger prints without the factory screen protector - shatter proof sheet etc, and got any scratches ?

Hello everyone,

I have a quick question related to SPG Steinheill Screen Protectors.

At the moment the referred company offers 4 different types of Screen Protectors: Ultra Crystal, Ultra Finet, Ultra Oleophobic and Ultra Optics.

Well, at this moment, my big issue is the fingerprints. I actually "can't live" without being cleaning the display with a microfiber all the time. Well, my hands get sweat easily so, it is normal that the display gets sweat quickly, as well. Since I have "this problem", I would like to know, from the ones who have already tested it, if an OLEOPHOBIC screen protector is the best one I can afford.

Greetings,

Pedro
