I Have noticed form coming from a iPhone 3GS I noticed even at full brightness I can barley see the screen in the light and i never have it on full brightness to save battery So what im asking is are there any screen Protectors out there that anyone could suggest that would help me to see the screen better on sunny days
Well I've had multiple screen protectors, and none of them have even come close to being as good as the one i got from Vikuiti. I was told that Martin Fields (too grippy) made a high quality screen protector, but I was not impressed and found this one for my HD2 after rave reviews on the HD2 forum.
This screen protector is so good I have taken my old HD2 one and cut it down for the Desire Z until I get my specific Desire Z one. I have re-stuck it a few times, and it looks good as new, I hate it when you can tell the screen protector is on, but you cant with this.
The below link it not to the exact model I had on my HD2 (there is one called ADQC and one called DQC, I have the DQC at present, but might get the ADQC listed below because it suggests its more anti-glare)

I currently use an anti-glare screen protector that came free with my dcmugen case.
It is better than the glossy screen protector I had before. Plus, it doesn't attract fingerprints which sometimes obscures vision.

I will also vouch for the Vikuiti ADQC model. My order was shipped on June third and I received it today- June ninth.
As for the screen protector itself, I am extremely satisfied with it. This protector allows me to view the G2's screen as it is supposed to be seen: as though there is nothing on the screen at all. Side to side is nearly a perfect fit and top to bottom there is maybe a mm of space uncovered below the soft buttons (home, menu ...) At a glance, the only giveaway that there is a screen protector on the phone is the cutout for the light and proximity sensors.
They aren't cheap but I believe they are worth the cost.

What is your opinion of the protector after using it so far?

I just noticed your post. Sorry it's taken me months to reply, although it has given me a MUCH larger sample size to form my opinion from. The screen protector is still great! It is really tough. Admittedly, I baby my phone a bit. That said, I finally got a scratch on the first screen protector (I ordered 3) about 2 Weeks ago. Other than that it is almost exactly as it was the first day I applied it. I've been meaning to apply the second one but don't need to. I would say it is definitely worth the extra cost as in the time I've had this one on I had gone through at least five other brands including the t mobile one & some I got from Amazon.

I recently got an ArmorSuit screen protector, and applied it like I did all other wet application screen protectors. However, I guess as I was squeezing out the liquid, some got under the screen, as there is a dark, cloudy area around the border that looks like it's water damage. When turned off completely, there also is a light on in the corners. Meaning in a dark room, I can see it has some faint light in two of the corners turned on. Lastly, there is also a brighter strip of light down the middle that is about a centimeter in width and starts from the bottom of the screen to half way.
It's been about 24 hours since application, and I've left it off in a bucket of rice for those 24 hours. My question is whether or not this will go away with more time or if I'm just SOL.
Mine never dried out. I had the exact same thing happen. Replacing the LCD and digitizer was my only solution.

Very sorry to hear. This should be a word of caution to everyone who uses those types of protectors. I don't because they simply are too rubbery and unnatural but another reason is the weird feeling I have when spraying water on my phone.
For future reference, I always wrap the squeegee in a paper towel so that it absorbs the water as soon as it squeezes out from under the screen protector. I have never had any water get under the screen of my phone using this method.

So I just booted it on again, and noticed that some of the grayish/cloudy parts disappeared, there's still some there, but I think it means it's going away, however the brighter strip of light is still there and there's some light flickering in the bottom and corners. Does this go away as it dries or am I stuck looking for a replacement screen?
This just happened to me. It's quite unfortunate, as I'm out of warranty (bootloader unlocked, lol), and the only option it seems I have is to replace the LCD and Digitizer. I'm going to try the good ol' rice trick, hopefully that'll fix it.
Sorry to hear this fellas, could have happened to anyone. You would expect the manufacturer to test the application of their products.... Hopefully the rice will help!

Why in the world would you use these terrible protectors anyway? Assuming you actually managed to get it installed without wrecking your phone, its still the worst. They feel sticky and rubbery.
Don't use this junk.
same thing happened to me, but worse. I got the armorsuit millitaryshield, sprayed the stuff on my phone, the phone screen went really dark, my new htc one x i bought less then a month ago for 500 dollars!!!!, it is really dim, but if you look closely you can kinda see but it needs to be really bright like when it boots up the one x white screen i can kinda see that cause it's really bright. I think a light or something in there broke cause of the liquid!! I contacted amazon, they refunded me for the screen protector and they said they might be able to do something for my phone, i also contacted the manufacter yesterday, no response yet....
I am really mad, cause i doubt it can get fixed, cause i bought it from someone who owned it for a couple of months, but never took it out of the box, so pretty much brand new just never used and i don't use it on att use it on h2o cause it cheaper. Anyone have any ideas or anything?

I have successfully installed wet protectors in the past, multiple times on my old touch pro 2, the original atrix, and captivate. However, due to the hox's design I didn't attempt to do it, I only used dry clear ones...

I agree, but my droid x never needed a screen protector it was so resistant to scratches on the screen, i may have got 1 or 2 little scratches after 2 and 3 months. my htc one x has like 5 long scratches after less then a month. did you contact armorsuit about it breaking your phone, it's been almost 2 days for me and no replies. Amazon has been quick to respond and everything, and they said they can't do anything about the phone cause no one had a similar problem according to the reviews, but now i have this, but they did refund me for screen protector, they said to contact armorshield for the phone. I said what if they don't reply, like people said they don't on the amazon reviews, the guy said my manager will call you on the 18th and see if we could do anything about the phone, if they don't fix it or pay for a new phone, how much will a new lcd+digitzer+putting it on cost?
if that is the problem, seems the only problem with the phone atm is the fact is its really dim, i think like a light in there broke or something from the screen protector liquid.
Getting the screen replaced is $220, if that's what you were asking. (it's kinda hard to tell from your wording.)

dry screen protectors
I sent my htc one x out to htc, they said they might not be able to cover it under warranty since i bought it from a third party, even though i paid 500 dollars -_- and it's only been used for a week from previous owner and it broke in less then month from a screen protectors, amazon told me to contact them if i am charged with anything from htc, they said they might be able to do something about it.
Can anybody recommend any dry screen protectors? so i can have it ahead of time, so i can apply it on the new screen once i get, so i have no scratches.
I bought the Zagg Invisible Shield HD protector. Wet application. Feels like glass. No rubbery feeling. But I make sure always when squeegeing, that I use cloth and soak up the solution as I get to the edges. Not one problem here. Sorry for your misfortune.

I'm looking for a decent full body case that also extends around to the front of the phone and covers around the screen like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/WHITE-BLACK...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item5af1d2978c
Just not a huge fan of white, and reason I'd like to be able to cover over the camera and bottom of the phone is so that it will overlap the screen protector's edge that I have on it (basically the case would be covering where the screen protector ends).
Any suggestions?
PS: I kind of like the look of this one: http://www.amazon.com/Google-Ringke-Selling-Premium-Package/dp/B00B7QGT6U/ref=pd_bxgy_cps_img_z
But the front doesn't extend over.
And then there's this where it doesn't cover the front of the screen, but bevels out abit from the front of the screen from the picture. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Nexus-4-...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item4171fea870

I'm using a cut (meaning kiosk didn't have one in stock so they cut from another that stops just under the camera and lil past bottom of visible screen) invisible shield, thus why the case coverage in the front like the white one I linked would be perfect cuz it would cover the exposed portion of the front screen.

Oh, I mean this is the one I got, maybe not us good but same military stretchy stuff as invisible shield. But man does it cling to surfaces.. I have my bumper on it to though so it doesn't really cling. Probably not what you're gonna wanna go for, but I don't know why you bought half of a screen protector from a kiosk at that price. I've never tried invisible shield so I wouldn't know how good they are.

Oh it's not half a screen it's bout 90% front coverage (starts just shy under the camera, and ends just shy of the notification LED, with basically about half an inch of overlap over the actual visible screen), the white one I originally linked would cover the overlap just fine.
Also the one I got was the HD, it's not that rubbery texture like the older military grade one but rather actual glass-like surface that seems to increase the contrast and black point ever so slightly. It's pretty much invisible at the edge now that it's had about a week to dry out and grip to a lip completely. Also I paid that much because the folks at the kiosk would apply them for you since it's a wet process, and they do an excellent job (or they re-do it, plus if the screen gets F**ked up down the road, they replace it for me).

Gorilla Glass doesn't really prevent screens from being cracked. Its most important role is to protect the screen from being scratched.
I've seen lots of devices that have Gorilla Glass with a broken screen.
Your phone just felt the wrong side.

Also Xperie L has a scratch resistant glass preventing glass being scratch. It's not build to protect the glass from being cracked.

But the arrogant people in the service center, reluctant to tell me anything in advance. They want me to sent the phone after that they will tell me the charges -> order the same -> wait 10 -20 days .. blah blah blah..

Yes!
Mine felt around 2 or 3 feet on tile. It was no problem.
Then it felt around 4 feet or a little more (on tile) but nothing happenned.
I will repair it asap because my connection between the two parts of the slider are broken. Need to buy an other slider.
It also depends how it falls.I dropped my old lg o1 on hone,cement,between stairs for 2 floors,etc and it worked very well.I find the most damaging dropping it on small rocks(gravel) ... I also dropped my XL from about 3 feet or a little more on a corner on a hard plastic surface and it didn't even got a scratch.I find the back cover really really resistant to scratches.I went for 1 week in a holyday and on the beach the sand scratched a lot my screen protector but the back cover looks like first day.I also kept it in girls bag with tons of other stuff like keys,coins,lighters,other phones,etc and not even scratch.I think it's the best back cover that i ever seen.It's almost like it doesn't need a case,but due to further drops from a higher area one case is needed.
About the screen...I really can't say how resistant it is.I think i don't want to know

Thanks but that one and all the others I have come across are only pre-orders. Guess I'll just have to wait. Thanks anyway.

If I am correct that the Z1f (Japan Version) and the Z1 Compact is indeed the same screen size/ sensors/ camera & flash location. After few days of researching there are already few Tempered Glass out for Z1f in Japan.
I am liking the Crystal Armor and will soon place an order, will update once received.
List : -
Crystal Armor (Glass) 9H (http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/keitai/item/151-450850/?s-id=borderless_browsehist_02_en)
ITO Pro+ Glass (http://colorantonline.com/) (Glass) 9H
Ray-out (http://www.ray-out.co.jp/) Might not be Glass but (Silicon film) 9H
ZENUS Luminous (http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/kawa/item/roaz2988/) 9H

You're right, sorry I missed that. Only one of the ones you can find on mobilefun.co.uk is available in 2-5 days, but that's not too good either.
Anything, in anti-glare, matte finish?

Matte film, Roxfit - Qenuine for Z1C
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...int+Matt+Screen+Protectors&_sacat=0&_from=R40
Found this set by mumbi (3x front, 3x back) on Amazon (DE) - don't know if they ship worldwide though.
I have had my Z1 Compact for less than a week, been ultra careful and already it has a minor scratch on the back panel. This is ridiculous!
I wonder, do you lose the warranty for the front screen if you only remove the back ASF sheet?
But for now, I guess I'll have to fast-track buying some front+back protectors before this gets too bad!
Why is it so hard to find a clear back panel protector for this phone...?

I know,,
I am currently using some of those cheap 'pack of five' screen protectors and just cutting a front side protector down a bit for the back until I can get hold of one.. (ideally I am waiting for a tempered glass front which include a back side protector like they do for the Z1 (and which is easily for sale in eurpore - not japan)
to further protect it I use it in a Roxfit book case - which aint bad.. but to use the magnetic cradle i need to take it out of the case (not a lot of hassle)
I emailed Sony complaining about the back and how it's poorly designed but the response I got was totally non committal and saying they didn't sell back protectors.

Sony Z1 Compact case + screenprotector
Hi guys,
Been looking at the Z1 Compact for a week now as I'm pretty sure that's going to be my new phone as my contract expires in April, and I doubt the S5,Htc M8 or Sony Z2 will be very pocket friendly. If my HTC ONE X would be a fraction smaller, 4,5 or 4,6" it would be great for one handed use.
So I've been having a look around for tempered glass/sapphire screen protectors and cases for the Z1 Compact , and apart from the ones posted on this forum didn't find anything interesting so i've decided to actually reach out to companies(through mail, fb or twitter) and ask if they were going to make any for the Z1 compact.
Spigen: no reply
brandoworkshop: no reply
xgear : no reply
Otterbox: no plans for a Defender series at the moment (if people request it enough on their fb page they might speed it up).
iloome: nothing planned for the moment
Zagg: really funny situation with these guys. Bought a Zagg Invisible shield for my current HTC One X, and was so happy with it and the lifetime warranty that i recommended it to my ex and everybody I knew. Sent them a question on fb, waited for a day....no reply.
Then I receive a notification that a polish bloke from a company called 3MK Screen protectors replied on my post on Zagg's page, recommending their products (which btw look pretty nice).
Lo and behold, 2 hours later zagg reply as well saying they have a screen protector in the works and that they're going to pass my inquiry about an Arsenal Case for the Compact to their design team. I think if people show an interest on their fb page, we might get something out of it.
At this point I think that if enough interest is shown to Zagg and Otterbox they might come up with great solutions for cases.
I've put a request to "Rhino Shield" and they will look into it (If the demand is high they likely come out quicker). They are not bad according to review and price are reasonable compare to other product which has the similar specification. Pls put a request to their email/ FB/ Twitter if you like this on your Z1 Compact.

I've ordered this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IA1AVZA/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 if anyone else is looking for clear protectors for the back.

Had a look at their product, and looks promising, even though I was thinking about getting Tempered Glass (don't know why I have the feeling I'd manage to shatter it within the first month as I drop my phone face down from time to time, from about 60-70 cm height).
Asked on FB if they plan on making any for the Z1 compact and said it depends on demand, so if anybody is interested, let them know.
I tweeted Rhino Shield and got this response from them:
"we think we would, it might be ready in few weeks time"

Good news then!
