I've seen some in Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NU7DQWO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1IZK4IZFWR8WS&coliid=I20VQZXRMKY56G

Very nice cut but it is not tempered glass. It will also be available mid-October only:

Here's another one coming out also by mid-October. I have their products before and this is very good. The cut is perfect on my Xperia T. Very easy to apply and less prone to bubbles. I'll wait how the cut looks like before ordering:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M14N1BI/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1IZK4IZFWR8WS&coliid=I2KHBU19MWKWWG

This one shows a picture of the back protector and shows 2 pieces but I have confirmed both pieces being sold are the front ones only:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L1Z18NG/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1IZK4IZFWR8WS&coliid=IRCD2WPC6GMJ1&psc=1

Other than these, there isn't much choice. I'll wait for how the Rhino cut looks like before ordering. I wished Rhino sells the back only so we can buy the tempered glass on the front separately.

Really wish dbrand had support for this phone.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Alex2x3:
Are these really that good that they are worth 35 bucks?

Never used a tempered glass protector but seems like it's a pretty pricey.

Are you guys going to get cases for the phone too or think that the glass is enough?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] LastQuark:
Pretty pricey for $35. I emailed Ultimate Shield and they said the are coming out with invisible film protection very soon. I want the tempered glass at the back and asked them to make one. They didn't come back yet. Their prices are more reasonable.

Update: Ultimate Shield confirmed they will not be making tempered glass for the back. Only invisible film.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] geronimoid:
Quick heads up: the current batch of 3M Vikuiti protectors that are all over ebay aren't quite as precisely cut as the promotional blurb would like to make out - covered half the bottom speaker after I applied it :eek:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Mr Sliff:
Is there anyone selling a cheap protector for the back? I use an extremeguard on the back of my htc one for the sole purpose of a better grip but they dont have one for the z3 yet.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] LastQuark:
I just purchased the Invisible Defender at eBay - $7 shipped. It comes with 3x front and 1x back. I should get it in 3 or 4 days. The good brands are only coming out with their versions mid-October so this is a good stop gap solution.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] marumari:
Are they really that much better than the Nillkin ones that people talk about so highly?

In any case, I just picked up a cheap 9H tempered glass one off of eBay for now, hopefully better, cheaper options will come along soon.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] plisk3n:
I'm no way affiliated with this eBay seller, but I just got the glass protector and it is fantastic and relatively inexpensive.

Highly recommended

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] showstopper03:
Dbrand replied to my email inquiry. They said they are planning to add products for the z3/z3 compact in the next month or so.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] JumpingShadow:
I sent a mail to Brando to ask about their plans about making screen protections for the Z3C and they replied pretty fast saying they were planning to but they were waiting for the device to get the exact design.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] LastQuark:
But this is for a Z3 and not Z3 compact. :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Dsteppa:
You have the same thing for the Compact, just look on eBay for tempered glass screen protector.

Its somewhat annoying you don't get options when buying most of protectors.

Ie. I only want the Rhino rear protector as i wanted a tempered glass front.

Or is there a rear tempered glass protector available yet? Not keen on having plastic over the feel of glass.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Kev1000000:
What do guys think of these screen protectors?

http://www.amazon.com/Compact-Ultra...88569&sr=8-13&keywords=sony+xperia+z3+compact
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] LastQuark:
They are for the front only although the photo shows it also has one for the back. :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] LastQuark:
I got the item today. The cuts are very good and precise. The adhesive is not as thick as the iLLumiShield that I really like. Not sure if it will peel over time but we'll see. It's only a temporary solution anyway until tempered glass is available at the front and back of the phone.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Computar:
Thanks! Ordered it when you mentioned it earlier in the thread, and I'm looking forward to receiving them today.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] cschmitt:
Just put this on my Z3c. Nice quality; would recommend it.

MobilePioneer Sony Xperia Z3 Compact ... Round Edge Tempered Glass LCD HD Premium Screen Protector
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Michealtbh:
Looks like the Ultimate Shield tempered glass screen protector for the Z3 Compact is available. I had one on my Z2 and it was hands down the best screen protector I've ever used. The oleophobic coating never wore off in the time I had it. It feels just like the bare screen on a new phone - that silky smooth gliding feeling. Not too expensive either considering how good they are.

http://amzn.to/1rIQ3Ez
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Alex2x3:
I also just received this one the other day. It seems very nice, great fit, clear, edges are rounded in a way where you can barely tell its there. I dropped it last night and the edge chipped a bit but nothing major. Would also recommend.

This is my first experience with a tempered glass screen protector, what justification is there between one for 10 bucks and 40? Totally serious question because I see a lot of love for some of the expensive name brand ones. What more do they offer? Are they tougher to break?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Dsteppa:
No I think most of the times it's just the brand, that's why you mostly need to pay more.

I ordered a Tempered Glass protector from Spigen like 2 years ago for like 40$ and had to pay 20$ import costs since it came from USA.

That was really insane.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Kev1000000:
Just received this as well. Perfect fit, great smooth/glass feel, no change to screen clarity/brightness. Would definitely recommend.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Scottland:
Anyone know of a UK/EU distributor for these?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] dillalade:
Someone please take a picture to illustrate the fit on tte z3c and the cutouts specifically.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Crewville96:
The pic of the phone on the Amazon page isn't a Z3C. Also, the glass pictured doesn't have cutout for the bottom speaker (and maybe top as well?). Can you take a couple pics for us please?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] cschmitt:
Here's a photo.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Kev1000000:
Wow, mine is actually much different than yours, even though I ordered the same product! Mine goes edge to edge, and completely fills the entire front, except for above and below the speakers. Not sure if this is an updated model, or what happened, but I do believe my version has a better fit, at least judging by the photos.

Btw, the case I have is temporary, and a modified version of the Roxfit case I got for free from Handtec :p

Exact link to screen protector I used to purchase: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NBKOCE6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] cschmitt:
When I pre-ordered mine from Amazon it actually shipped directly from China, now I see they are available Prime so it might be a different stock. I have a TPU case which I removed for the photo, it fits well with that.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] LastQuark:
KEV1000000 - that's a very nice fit. Can you confirm it came from Amazon with the following packaging again?

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] chimnino:
Does anyone know any screen protector WITHOUT the camera cutouts? I want one with just the speaker cutouts. I really hate the front and back camera cutouts...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Dsteppa:
I have never seen a screen protector without the camera cut outs, since it will temper the camera quality.

It's like someone wanting no cut outs for the speakers. It's not really logical.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] chimnino:
It is very logical. The edges of the screenprotector build up dust and dirt. Plus, why not protect the part of the glass you use most on the back? Besides that, the stock shatterproof film on the old Xperia phones already covered the front camera. So why not do it with an aftermarket film? It looks way better and the negative effect is minimum in the worst case.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] LastQuark:
I think it is because adding a China glass is like adding a cheap filter on a camera that is supposedly top notch. The adhesive applied at the protector will also obscure the image on already a tiny lens.

With the said, removing the adhesive at the camera area can be done. I'm sure it can be contracted with one of the Chinese manufacturers out there. I'll buy it at 2x the price. :good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] heavyhms:
Yes is avalable, but has camera, sensor and led cutout (the z1 compact i had before has no cutout at all). The result is not so good
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] MrZippo:
I just preordered the Rhino shield front and back.

Has any UK residents located the same cut tempered glass protector that [MENTION=4422630]Kev1000000[/MENTION] illustrated.

I've purchased one off eBay which is identical to [MENTION=4513061]cschmitt[/MENTION]. Great quality just not happy with the cut outs & its not fully egde to egde compared to [MENTION=4422630]Kev1000000[/MENTION] pictures.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] SirRobin78:
Thank you for this link - do you know if there is a version with screen protector for back side? as far as i know there are only front protectors...?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] ewuzh:
For the front I got this http://www.amazon.com/MobilePioneer-Compact-Hardness-Tempered-Protector/dp/B00NBKOCE6. Easy install, perfect fitment, and excellent clarity. Love the glass feel and swipes are more responsive than the plastic film type protector I had on previously. No complaints.

For the back, I am using a normal PET clear protector that came in a combo pack on ebay. Wasn't able to find anyone selling rear protectors separately. It's only temporary anyway as I plan to get a leather back from dbrand.com as soon as they start carrying it. According to their reps the Z3 and Z3 Compact skins will be available in about a month.

Please share the link. The one j found on Amazon uk is this. But it doesn't show if it is the updated one you mention or one with the rsctoangular cut out for the proximity corner.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] dillalade:
Great find.. But do we know if these ultimateshield tempered glass protectors are edge to edge with minimal cutouts... Or are they with he top (*EDIT*) "LEFT" proximity sensor rectangular cut out that some folk are selling/buying.

Cheers
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Scottland:
They sent me a template, and they have the same cutouts as Kev1000000 posted above.

So cutouts for both speakers, sensor and camera. As much as I'd prefer no cutouts also, I believe they impair the functionality of both - so it's in the manufacturers interest to include cutouts - and thus lower the chance of them having to replace defective ones ;)

So I ended up calling them that morning on Wednesday. Made up some hoopla that desperate to gift the screen protector with new device to my sister. The guy stated he has a batch coming in today/Friday... However he has a couple and he was happy to send me one for free. I kid you not. It arrived yesterday.

Was taken back by his gesture thanked him 100 times and he was so gracious about just gifting me the item.

It looks beautiful :)

Btw what case is that?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Hjbotha:
It's the Roxfit case that came with the phone from Clove and Handtec, with the flap cut off. He actually inspired me to do the same thing, since I want to protect the phone but didn't like the flap and am still waiting for a nice case. I went a step further though and cut and pasted one of the pieces I cut off to give it a uniform rubberised back. Not perfect, but it'll do for now. If you're patient and careful you can do better.

Edit: Apologies if you were exposed to the original, oversized image. I've resized it now.

Can you post a picture, it looks like it has cutouts for each speaker so I'm not sure what you mean by way too small? The cutout on the top corner will look a bit odd but I wanted a Glass Protector asap so once more are available and reviews on them I'll use it in the meantime.

Got the Ultimate Shield tempered glass protector today. Excellent fit. Didn't like the initial alignment, but it pulled right off and I took a second shot at it. No fuss. I actually bought two just in case, but in the end the first one went on perfectly.

Now I just wish I could get one of these for the back. It appears the back glass is a bit softer than the screen, judging from all these little scratches.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] mr_fro2000:
In general is having tempered glass in the front and back enough protection? Im specifically looking to keep the front and back stock glass in perfect shape.

For example if i have them on and i drop the phone on a corner onto a concrete sidewalk, would the tempered glass be enough to prevent the original glass from being damaged? I dont care so much if the screen protector gets damaged.... Just the original glass. Any feedback on this would be great!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Dsteppa:
YeAh, most of the times have a front and back glass protector would be enough, but

the glass might not break, but the housing will get damaged. That's another thing to consider.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] monsieur_debile:
Yes it would prevent from drop, mine (Xperia Z covered by both tempered glass rear and front) has been dropped 4 time in row, only a slight break on tempered glass

However edge side wont be covered, you might need to add case or bumper

Hi all. Just received a email from evolutive that my rhino protectors have shipped. I live pretty remotely but will chime in when they finally arrive.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] FSRBIKER:
I installed the glass protector this morning and it's a HUGE difference from the included matte finish protector that is included, I knew it would be though. Colors are much better, text a bit clearer, touch sensitivity is great and so far excellent at repelling fingerprints. It's definitely a case cut protector, it covers all of the display portion of the screen side to side with a bit over into the black bezel. The cut outs are done well and the edge has a nice bevel to it, it does have a square cutout for the proximity sensor on the upper left side while the front camera is simply a hole cutout. While the square cutout might not look as good I think I can overlook this as the rest of the protector is well done.

Did anyone order a front tempered glass protector on AliExpress yet? I don't think I have seen one other than this in the previous pages. I already made a search on Ali, but I'm a bit afraid of getting bad quality by choosing one that is too cheap/cheaper than the one I linked...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Dsteppa:
The same screen protector came through a few times (different websites) I have it myself. It's better then not having any tempered glass, but looking for alternatives and will switch when those are available (which is soon)

Looks like the tempered glass for the back is finally available at Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/compact-Ultra-thin-Highest-Tempered-Protector/dp/B00L1Z18X6/

It comes with the front glass and it will cost $22 shipped.

Disregard the Q&A at the bottom since that was asked before the back was available.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] neoxkid:
Does the dock station compatible with tempered glass screen protector? will the dock pull the glass protector off?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Dsteppa:
There will be no dock that will ever pull off the glass screen protector. I used a glass screen protector on my Xperia Z and the official dock, it barely fit, I had 1 or 2 times that the dock chipped my screen protector (cracked the protector in the corner) and that was about it.

I also used one on the Xperia Z3C, but that one still fit perfectly in the official dock (it MIGHT even fit with a front AND back protector).

But in the end what I'm trying to say is that docks won't pull the protector off the phone, they might only break it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] neoxkid:
Thanks. I have a case mate case and with glass screen protector it will be too tight in the dock. Next week Im gonna get the glass screen protecter and gonna post my concllusiins.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Dsteppa:
The screen protector + dock will be no problem. using a case + screen protector would be to much.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Michealtbh:
Got my Z3C and screen protector yesterday. The protector is just as good as I remember the one on my Z2 was. Fits great and feels great. Best tempered glass protector available imo.
