God what a stupid reply. Firstly, because it's just another layer of glass it's pretty much invisible - but because it's glossy and of a high quality it compliments the resolution of the screen and makes it look really good.

Just look up some videos on YouTube where they are reviewed or something.

Also it protects the screen against drops - in almost every drop the screen protector shatters leaving the screen in mint condition. There are even a few videos where they are hit with a hammer and it's the screen protector that shatters, not the screen.

Erica Griffin did the same test. But for now, look at this:

[Xperia Z3 General] xxquicksh0txx:
I'm sorry, I was unware the glass on the front of our screen wasn't glossy and of high quality to begin with. Silly me.

I'm going to go buy a glass screen protector now so I can have beautiful display now.

Never did I say the glass screen protectors were nice, I use them myself.

If you read my post carefully I specifically said it's not going to protect it from a side impact, which it's not.

I swear, people get more retarded everyday.
[Xperia Z3 General] Johann_London:
I have an Ultimate Shield glass protector and it has only three cut outs... The two speakers (onbiously) and the sensor just to the left of the Sony logo. Everything else including camera and notification light works through the protector. This one is 9H hardness. Which one do you have then?
[Xperia Z3 General] dedei:
Idk really. Just a chinese one.
[Xperia Z3 General] Stixxbixby:
I have a Ringke Fusion. Regarding aesthetics, I def prefer NO case. However, for in hand grip & day to day practicality, the Ringke serves it's purpose quite well imo - & it still looks pretty cool.

I'm using a flip case from Roxit. The main reason is that was the only one I could get locally and it needs a case of some kind to stop it wandering off on it's own due to being so slippy

I am using the Cruzerlite and quite like it. Naked is just too darn slippery.
[Xperia Z3 General] hanime:
That's what she said. ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] Johann_London:
You are just one of those kind of people that like to argue aren't you? The bottom line is if you like a naked phone, then your screen is going to be better off with a glass protector.

You don't buy the protector to have a more beautiful display, you use it to offer protection against drops and scratches if you like your phone nude - the fact that it makes the screen look amazing is a bonus.

Why would you focus on the trivial stuff just to cause an argument?
[Xperia Z3 General] xxquicksh0txx:
It offers MINIMAL protection against drops. It does not change the way your screen looks or feels.

Hitting your screen with a hammer and actually dropping it are completely different scenarios. -_-

My gosh, I am not sure if you're just ignorant and a blatant idiot.
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
I agree with you xxquicksh0txx, on corner impacts tempered glass is useless. Frontal impacts are "better resisted" that's all, with glass protectors. One guy found out the hard way while trying to show off to his friends when the tempered glass and actual screen both shattered.

That said I too use only front and back tempered glass protectors, but am aware its no where near as safe as with my Ringke..
[Xperia Z3 General] dgattenb:
Brought a case ,as well as the free one from handtec ,however , the clear case is stuck near Heathrow ! And handtec won't have any in stock till next week ... So for now its naked bar the screen protector that came with the phone
[Xperia Z3 General] Cryssie:
Case. A naked phone is nice but I like a phone in one piece just a wee bit more.
[Xperia Z3 General] Johann_London:
We can agree to disagree on this. I feel that you are overstating MINIMAL here and that the protection to the screen is not minimal, but significant, definitely significant enough to warrant having it - IF YOU LIKE A NUDE PHONE. It's never going to be an Otterbox, it's just significantly better than having nothing on it. And just like anything else it's about the quality of the product. You get amazing and expensive glass protectors and you get cheap and nasty Chinese copies. Some are certified H9 hardness, some H6... So we don't know the particulars of the screen protector that failed when the guy's screen broke as mentioned elsewhere in this forum.

Besides that, the screen on the Z series (not even mentioning the vile scratch magnet ASF that covered the Z, Z1 and Z1 Compact) is notorious for gathering fine scratches from normal use, so it's just nice to know that the screen isn't getting scratched up - I am allergic to scratches..

Sorry, can you just remind me why we are fighting over this ridiculous topic??

yes, but its only protected when you dont use it. the other side is, you have to pull it out everytime. everything has his pros/cons :)

These bumps and cases are so ugly. I use Style Cover Window SCR24

It is not the most functional case but is the most beautiful I saw. I can charge phone on Magnetic Charging Dock DK48 with Style Cover Window SCR24 on what is big plus. And it is in phone colour and doesn't ruin phone design. I love copper colour.

Use a case!

I didn;t use a case for my iphone 5 for two years, hardly any marks at all! Dropped, kicked and crashed with it, dropped the Z3 a short distance and it looked like a tank rolled over it!

I use a transparent case like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Slim-Ultra-...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item4871222852

Protects the back of the phone, makes it less slippery, and you can barely tell there's a case.
[Xperia Z3 General] Cryssie:
I have a leather flipcase, but I do not completely trust it in case of drops.

I now have a tempered glass screen protector and a completely transparant tpu case. Sony themselves said this phone is not shock proof so I thought the tpu would be a good choice for shock absorption.
[Xperia Z3 General] dgattenb:
Case, I have the clear bumper case, why.. It's a glass phone . I'd rather not, but i rather like it so far, and want to keep it
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
The iPhone 5 is much smaller, which helps for impact resistance. The iPhone 6 is much larger and thinner, which also makes it weaker. Look at the drop tests, the 6 plus can barely survive an edge drop as its even bigger, shattering the screen. Also their new "Ion Strengthened Glass" is actually less scracth resistant than Gorrila Glass 3. Fragility is a price you pay for wanting thinner and larger screened phones.
[Xperia Z3 General] hanime:
^True. The Z3 will be the same.

I like to set mine on the table, so all I need is something under there. Here is a Skinomi carbon fiber back sticker. The phone is a bit slippery on the back without the glass though.
[Xperia Z3 General] :
Not at all. I never use a case. The phone looks way better without a case. But putting a tempered glass is great. Anyway if you really care about phone, it's better to put a case rather than breaking it :)
[Xperia Z3 General] space-fish:
Less than 12 hours after I removed the plastic film that came the phone I have scratches all down the bottom of the back glass. I thought the glass was tough on both sides. All I did was put it in my pocket a few times...

Getting a case tomorrow. I would also recommend it just because this thing is crazy slippery. It tries to fall off every surface I put it on. Recently I've been putting down a piece of tissue and then putting the phone down on it so that it can't slide off.
[Xperia Z3 General] SquallPT:
Me too, have a couple of scratches too. I have a table at work that it is a little bent, and if you put the phone at some spots, the phone slides alone :D
[Xperia Z3 General] space-fish:
I'm trying to convince my provider that this is a manufacturer defect. I think it is, there's no way the back glass should scratch this easily. I haven't dropped it or done anything else that would be considered misuse or an accident. Ill I've done is put it in and take it out of my pocket.
[Xperia Z3 General] Ulver:
I've got scratches too on the back. I have since put a glass screen protector on the back, so that can get scratched up instead.

Same here scratches on back bottom. I covered mine with tempered glass protectors on both sides now.
[Xperia Z3 General] weebnuts:
I never use cases but just broke the screen on the z3 as it's so slippery and slipped out of my hands
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
Out of curiosity was it a corner or face impact?
[Xperia Z3 General] weebnuts:
I think face, but didn't see it hit
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
Well that sucks. Costly repair though, unless you want to repair it yourself, in which case you can replace the digitizer/glass and keep the lcd (hard).
[Xperia Z3 General] id3alistic:
If you don't use a case, I strongly suggest a lanyard. Make use of the feature. I'm currently using a DEFF carbon ring finger. I can just let the phone rest o my palm without having to firmly grip it. And it provides leverage where I can use the phone 1 handed easily.
[Xperia Z3 General] weebnuts:
Had insurance, but $175. It destroyed the screen and digitizer, wouldn't work at all. It did take a few falls before that, sliding off my desk a few times

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan4a:
Yeah, I'm pretty upset about this. Every miracast page I visit says ALL android devices with 4.2 and above are supported. So why not android 5.0 on Nexus 6? Is Google really forcing Nexus 6 owners to use chromecast only?!? What if we don't have, or want to use, wifi? I just want to mirror my brand new Nexus 6 to my TV, not stream content. The google support page lists the Nexus 6 & 9 as supported chromecast devices, but not for miracast.

Any possibility of a someone enabling this option? Please help!?! I think the proper hardware is there.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LLStarks:
I find it very hard to believe that the Nexus 6 doesn't support Wifi Direct or Miracast at the hardware level. It's probably just disabled in the factory images.

A custom rom should be able to use it. If not, there's something profoundly wrong with the phone.

Then again, there's still suspiciously no Wi-Fi Alliance certification for the Nexus 6.
