[Xperia Z1 Accessories] One Twelve:
Quite resistant does not mean you won't get scratches. Corning glass 3 gets scratched. If you don't care then its your call.

It only takes a little bit of sand to do it. Going naked is not worth it.

Fingerprints is not a big deal compared to scratches, at least they come off.

So it creates an oleophobic coat. That coat will wear out over time just like with other finger print resistant protectors.

So i wonder what the frequency for reapplying the coat will be ? 3 months ? 6 months ? less....

I've found precious little info as to durability of these oleophobic coats, people seem to be over the moon when they get the product and then seem to fall silent.

Wait...you get just one coat with this product ?

How many coats does this translate into for $27 ?

How many coats are you supposed to apply in one session ?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] DAddYE:
You're absolutely right, I usually take quite care of my phones, never applied covers or screen protector, the first is just because I usually buy a phone more for the balance between features and esthetic so cover this phone to me means: okay go and buy a Samsung.

The latter because I'm unable to find a good one (without sensor/len holes) which doesn't ruin the colors and the display experience overall.

Fingerprints makes the phone (especially at the end of the day) a dirty bag, which is ashamed to me :D

I read that too, obviously like for other phones which comes it a native anti fingerprint coating you should not use alcoholic liquids to clean your screen. This will absolutely help, but right now I can't say if will fall within 1 week, 1 month or 1 year. I'll keep you updated.

It's supposed to offer some like 130 coats, on the amazon page there aren't many instructions, on their youtube channel they show (IIRC) 1 or 2.

I put A LOT of them, 3 exactly which was huge so IMHO you can have easily at least 50 coats, but again it depends to you. As my GF aways says to me, I tend to exaggerate, so next time I'll try with just 1.5 :D
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] One Twelve:
Phone esthetic is probably #1 or #2 reason many people went with Z1. So here is the contradiction or let's say conundrum.

You want a good looking phone. You also want to use this phone. If there is no protection it will get scratches.

But you want a good looking phone. So what do you do if it gets scratched. How can you program your brain to ignore those scratches.

Cases there are one or two that look good but the choice is limited otherwise with Z1 for now.

Nilkin tempered glass has cutout for proximity sensor. I find people are very happy with this one. Brando also has it. Glass-M i'm not sure.

This cutout is essential for proper proximity sensor operation.

For the front facing camera its not required.

This is personal. But i find that it does not interfere with viewing too much. It's when you look at it at an angle that it looks bad. But guess what Z1 will not work too well at an angle anyway so fingerprints is not problem with this model :laugh:

Question is what happens when the coating wears out ? Does anybody know ?

Does the screen catch your finger where the coating was before. So its smooth in areas where coating is good and in other areas its little more sticky. This can get a bit annoying after some time.

The advanatage i see with this product is you clean the screen, put another coat and its new again. With the other protectors, once it wears out, then there is no way to apply another coat.

I don't think any phone comes with oleophobic layer on the screen OOTB. It's only on tempered glass protectors or in this case you apply it yourself.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] benziii:
Difference in preference

That all depends on how much you dry hump your screen.

I'm two months in now ("Liquid Glass Shield"), and ready for a second coat to see if I can notice any improvement. That will give me a pretty accurate reading (seeing as I'm the only one who knows aprox how much I've been using it day to day.

Not getting that.

It becomes a very thin layer, so you sort of wear it down, very miniscule with each time you glide your finger over it.

I suspect the changes are just to slow for you to catch on, and you will just after a long while realize that it has in fact become less smooth.

For me this is no issue, as I will stay ahead of it by re-applying "sooner than later"

I do change the outlook of my phone pretty often, so my movements on the screen are fairly varied.

If you have extremly repetitive movements on the same spot all the time, maybe what you speak of can occur.

Inconclusive without rigid testing I would say

And this is not true
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] One Twelve:
Not a very wise one. Come across many people that decided to get protectors because the last one they cared for very carefully ended up getting scratched. These phones lose half their value in a year, if its scratched your resale price goes down further. Up to you.

Do you not see the irony here, how can you say you care about looks and go naked at the same time :)

You care about the phone in the initial weeks after that you forget about it, other things on your mind. It becomes a daily tool, a means to an end. A bumper with something for the back & front is a minimum. A pouch is another alternative. The ergonomics of these devices really does my head in, first you find something that is comfortable or close to it then you got to do the same with a case.

Another thing is i'm not too bothered about showing off the looks, i don't want to attract attention. Sometimes yes but most times its unnecessary. Say on the street when you're clicking stuff, last thing i'm going to do is show it to a stranger.

Am speculating as to what will happen. Have seen liquid applicaiton products being sold as scratch guards but i think the idea is to prevent fingerprints.

Its not clear whether this comes standard or not as corning offers bare glass too.

Corning offers the option to have an oleophobic coating. Now whether the phone manufacturer chose it or not., which devices have this ez to clean layer or not is unclear.

The

docs

mention 'easy to clean' but the word oleophobic does not appear. maybe it was not in fashion in 2010 which is when this doc was made.

How durable is cornings easy-to-wipe coating ?

Corning glass 3

specs

, no mention of easy to wipe layer in there at all.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] benziii:
This sentence to me, IS ironic.

I'll flip it for you.

If you care about how your device looks, why would you wrap it up in a clunky case?

People threat their stuff in conjuction with how they care about it.

I'm fortunate enough to be able to go buy another one.

I threat it it very carefully, and if something unforeseen still were to happen, than that is the risk I have taken.

People want to protect their investment, and make it resellable, I get that.

Doesn't mean everyone who don't are reckless.

It's like buying a classy expensive couch, then laying a cheesy plastic on top of it.

Had it for like ten weeks now, and no, still not sick of it :p

Not important to show it off, but the feel in the hand, and myself admiring it is enough for me.

I wear a skin on the back, so I can put it down on unwelcoming surfaces.

Also get rid of the branding this way, which make it look more sleek imo.

This seems like a common misconception.

Alot of the products I have checked out, have explained to people in their faq's that it does not make the screen scratch proof.

It's for easier removal of grease, and for a untreated screen, it makes it smooth.

Without it, it will feel jittery, and your finger will start skipping all over.

As for the rest, I will not go into it, as it is beside topic.

I'm not a chemical engineer either, and these semantics serve noe purpose to the thread.

You seem however, interested in knowing how long these products lasts.

I used a crystalusion wipe on the previous Z I had.

Shortly after giving it away to my friend for his birthday, I tested how the screens felt next to each other.

Mine was clearly more smooth with its's fresh layer.

The layer on the Z was then maybe five months old.

So If you think it will last like half a year or more, then you might be dissapointed.

Products differ though, and their might be a better one out there that I have not tried of course ;)
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] GTCC:
Well I don't use any protectors on my phones except for the very odd time that I don't have either a shirt with a pocket or a jacket on, for those times I use a pouch. At least that way when I'm using the phone it feels nice. I have tried a screen protector but not for me. I see friends that use screen protectors and I have yet to see a good one.

Also I find that without any protection on my phone I am more carfull with it.

I remember back in the day when I had an iphone 4s people used to spend so much on bumpers that they used to put protection on their bumpers. Funny.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] smithmyth:
very interesting

very nice product!

i will try to find in Brazil.

it has some cons?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Shander:
Hey there guys. You might be interested in a research I've done on Tempered Glass protectors for Z1, currently available on market: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2519604

One of the most recent finds is the Crystal Armor's Luxury Edge 0.2mm Screen Protector (http://www.crystal-armor.com/#!/items/5291cf428a56105df40007b0). I believe it is the only protector without any cut-out (neither for camera nor for the proximity sensor).

I've also thought that the cutout for the proximity sensor is the essential element, but it seems that it is not after all. I'm not sure if the phone behavior stays the same after the application of the protector, so someone would have to buy it and test it. Since my Glass-M glass protector cracked (phone fell on bathroom tiles literally face down, so the protector most likely saved my screen), I think I will give it a try.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] ramonleeyj:
Anyone tried the IMOS screen protector?

Sent from my awesome Sony Xperia Z1
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] One Twelve:
It gets quirky if the sensor is covered. The solution is to re-calibrate the proximity sensor. The Z Ultra lets you do it, i'm not sure if the Z1 can do it. yet.

heh, this is life isn't it. Unpredictable. You took the time to get a good protector and broke it shortly after. But maybe it saved you from worse and that is why you took the trouble to find one :)

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gilberto2:
I've had my Galaxy S 4 Active for about a month now and one thing that really concerns me is that the waterproof cover for the USB port is really difficult to insert after charging. It was ok for the first week or so but now I have to try several times before it looks like it's seated properly. I'm concerned that as this port gets opened and closed more than the others it's developed a faulty cover and won't be water/dust proof when I need it to be.

Has anyone else noticed anything similar?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibeachdude:
As my cover became more worn, I had to close mine a particular way to get it to seal. I'll do my best to explain it. Grab the cover between your left forefinger and thumb. Bend the cover slightly and show the cover to the left, which forces the little tether to slide into the phone without buckling. Then you can snap the cover closed fully. At least, it works on mine. I used to be able to just pysh it closed when it was new.
