Isn't the screen on the N1 glass?
From the idrops website: "Carefully squeeze one to four drops onto the plastic, polycarbonate, or acrylic surface of your device"

http://www.wirelessground.com/saguaki.html
Has anyone tried this? Does it work?

If you read the end it states "not use on touch screen displays"
I guess i wont risk my baby..

iDrops, and most other scratch removers, are only for plastics... not glass, which is what your N1 screen is. You'll either create microscratches on the screen or remove part of the top coating on the screen.

i used t-cut glass polish on my nexus it got rid of the scratch i got when i stupidly put my phone in the same pocket as my keys

and a chamois leather is great for stubborn finger prints

To be honest, any mild abrasive would probably do. It's not as if the N1 has any anti-reflective coating or anything. Even a simple toothpaste and microfiber cloth would do the trick.

I find toothpaste is great at removing light scratches, won't cost you anything either.

What is a result?

Try PlastX from meguiers. Ived used it and its safe. Try in a corner of the screen first. Be sure its clean. Rub gently with a cotton fiber towel, not a bathroom towel.

Anti shatter proof layer replacement.

I hate screen protectors. They look ugly & wash out screens.
I've never installed one on any device.
My Xperia Play had an anti shatter proof layer (ASPL) installed out of the box which was also too washy & got removed.
However.
I'm ok with the ASPL on the Z. I was going to remove it if it washed out the screen but it's quite livable with.
Only problem is, the layer itself is a scratch magnet.
I've never scratched up any of my naked screens too bad my the ASPL on my Z has received a couple of minor scratches after only a couple of days.
A Google search hasn't shown up any replacement ASPL's for the Z.
Do you think SONY will release them for after sales?

Mine has come with a spare ASPL in the box for both front and rear - didn't yours?

I too hate screencovers but i bought my XZ outright so its too expensive to get damaged. I even tried to put the screencover that comes in the box on top of the anti shatter film but that was a disaster with about 50 air bubbles which looked awful. Don't really know what to do next because like you i have heard the anti shatter film marks easily. I have no scratches yet but mine seems to have loads of static and is attracting dust and fluff really badly.

I think these are standard screen covers which are supposed to go on top of the anti shatter film to protect the film from scratching.

I'm 99% sure this is correct.
The ASPL factory fitted on the Z will be MUCH thinner than the screen protectors in the box.

I got some spare ultra clarity screen protectors off eBay which were super easy to apply. Absolutely no bubbles, feel good now they've settled and don't appear to have hampered display quality.

both the arc and x10 came with screen covers (ASPL's) in situ and spares in the box, I'd just presumed the ones in the XZ box were spare ASPL's?
after all isn't an ASPL just a screen protector? - any well adhered film/screen protector would help stop the screen from shattering
i'm currently looking for an aftermarket anti-fingerprintscreen protector like SGP's ultra oleophobic which I had on my Galaxy s3, it was really good at resisting smudges - the ASPL is a smudge magnet!

Has anyone removed the ASPL & can report on the actual screens durability?

No one has yet to report that the screen scratched after the removed the Shatterproof protection. I removed mine but I was too scared to even attempt to scratch it, but you should be 99% ok.(Unless sand comes on it)

I also also love to know the answer to this, as it's been eating me alive for the past few weeks.

I make my phone like a onion firstly apply films supplied in the box and the hard cover at the back :victory:
Sony screen protector supplied in the box is ok it cover screen good enough :victory:

According to some dutch users, yes, the logo is on the protector.

Hold on,
So there's an extra layer on the screen?
I installed the screen protector that came with the phone which is pretty good.
People are reporting that removing the anti shatter layer brings off the Sony logo? I would argue it's not supposed to be rremoved. If that's true ....
Am I missing something here

Yes there is an extra layer on the phone, when you remove it, the front Sony logo will be gone.
I removed mine because my phone didn't came with extra screen protectors, else I would have installed them over the antishatter sheet, just the way Sony recommends.

Well this is news to me, I think I'll leave my anti shatter layer on for a bit.
I think I'll need some more screen protectors soon, preferably ones that resist finger prints if anyone can recommend any good brands and UK retailer

White nexus 5 sides scratch like crazy

One thing I ddin't like about the white nexus 5 , is that the sides are made of glossy black plastic , I don't understand why google chose to go with gloyys sides on the white nexus and awesome mate on the nexus 5 sides, the thing is , the glossy sides not only look cheap but they actually are... I baby my phone, I won't even put it on a naked table and I got a ton of scratches on the bottom side of the glossy frame, I'm guessing it's because of the friction caused every time I put the phone in my pockets and every time I take it out, is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

get a slim case, 2mm won't hurt your hand, but will protect body of the phone

Or get a dbrand skin. I have the back and sides, but you could just get the sides if you wanted.
They ship from Canada in normal air mail. Really quick. I had mine fitted in 4 days in the UK.

The white carbon fiber sticker doesnt look that bad, maybe I will get it :fingers-crossed:

Zippers on your pockets maybe? Without a case that would lead to scratches with either siding.

Noup, no zipper whatsoever

Not only easily scratches, but also very slippery in hand.
The white one is the one to avoid if you are going to use naked.

I can tell you that the sides do not scratch from just pulling out of a jean pocket. The plastic is way harder than anything that a jean pocket would have in it unlesss......... you had keys in there or something else. I do not think friction causes scratches but I could be wrong.

That is weird. I'm not using a case on my white Nexus 5 either and it's not scratching for me.

I found about it too late, I hit the "buy" button the second the phone went live on the play store, the white Nexus 5 reminds me of the HTC one which I always wanted to get, at least I'm passing the knowledge and I'm recommending my friends to get the black version

I personally think you have a change or key monster in your pocket, or you aren't babying your phone like you think you are because this is the first I have heard of it. I own the white version and I don't have a scratch on it.
I hope people take your opinion with a grain of salt in recommending the black over the white because it is the same hard plastic just different back.

yeah i agree man .. i dont know why ppl keep saying black has better material !! whos said that ? it has great feel and have texture on it and its not a sticky hard (like before i get hands on it ) . feel great in hand . its just different material and feel . white nexus glossy side make it so luxury ho u come up with cheap idea !!! if u are not white nexus man , trade it to black one .
i didnt like previous nexus white version like nexus 4 . but
white is really beautiful and harmonic than black . black is not actually pure black and mat make me feel phone has ages on it !
white harmony and paradox ( white speaker phone on front and black camera in back and from back side black button make it amazing . )

yeah bro when phone constantly rubbing to something that is not baby coating it will take scratch for sure /... your baby (" i baby my phone ) is a little bit angry i guess .. i mean no harm just kidding .
bro sure a narrow fit pocket will do that . becuase i am keeping it in my waist bag (im not sure what it called in english ) and not naked . in soft guard in there or in my coat pocket and ofcourse in that soft thing . for me white is great but it need attention more than black .
i recommending u to use bumper case while u are gonna put in your pocket .

I've had 2x White 32gb and both have had screen issues (1 had dead pixels & the other had terrible screen bleed), and one of them the bezel cracked near the sim card slot. I have also had a T-Mobile version in black which was flawless. The bezel thing is real and is something I noticed after a few days of use. I baby my phones; spigen crystal armor and ultra lite case since day one, and there is still marks from taking the case off and on. Google finally owned up and replaced my white one for a black one.

If you read my post it clearly says both white 32gb had screen issues. An agent made a statement that I should have been able to select black as a replacement and promised to get it fixed. Corporate office finally approved it after calling their HQ and having the calls reviewed.

Is there a protective plastic piece on the home screen button?

NO! There is not. Despite feeling a terrible edge and being sure there was a plastic protector on the home screen button right out of the box, I have now managed to scratch the coating off the home screen using my finger nail.
Not even 5 minutes out of the box and now I need to replace the phone.
Quality of feel has improved in every way over the s6 I have sitting next to my s7, except for the home button. What the hell, the rough edge led me to being so sure there was something on the button.

both my sprint s7 had one over the home key, finally took it off after 5 days, lol

I don't know. But watch out I damaged the ND filter on the back of my Moto X as I thought there was one. Ended up picking a bit of it off!

lol nice work OP.
You must have thought it was quite a resilient protective cover.
Its a funny world we live in if thats covered by warranty.
That being said, it does feel pretty bad. Not a nice design.

My gs7 had plastic on the home button. It wouldn't read my fingerprint
I was feeling down but then noticed it and removed

I thought it was very resilient, but sometimes the tiny ones are. The first time I tried to "grab" it it did peel the corner a tiny bit which again led me to think that it was for sure a cover.
Maybe I should add this was a TMO phone. Didn't think they would come protected differently based off carrier.
And yes, not a nice design compared to the s6 I have.

I suggest not doing anything. What carrier do you have?
Mine read my fingerprint fine, just felt and looked like there was a protector. When I picked at it it curled the edge up a tiny bit leading me to believe even more that there was one.

Well I don't know what are you doing with your phone but mine is like new! Also I don't get why a lot of people complain about the pre installed screen protector, it's great and best of all it's free!

Mine is still like it isn't there. The only downside is fingerprint sensor.

I've had my phone for just over a month and the original protector is perfect. I've had the phone in and out of cases several times and there is no peeling and no marks. It feels smooth, like glass, and is clear and clean. Like I said, perfect. ?
I actually bought screen protectors with the phone, unaware that one would be fitted already, and I've had no reason to switch. FWIW I'm also using the included clear case, even though I bought a few others. Goog job, Samsung.

I had a small tear, and I wanted to see if its glass or cover, - so felt the cover kinda coming off and had to peel it eventually. But it was kinda loose too

because customers were complaining about the screen saver scratching and some even sending their phones back over it. Also samsung would send customers for free replacement screen savers. Wasn't worth the hassle in this market for them anymore.

I'm not sure buddy, I installed one of those non glass ones yesterday after I received my U1. It's the type that is installed in two parts and no heat or water is needed. I believe LK and Qitoyo are the same, bought the latter it's ok. Good overage and smooth. 10$ three pack.

It is great actually. The wings that wrap around go just a tiny bit towards the back glass and do not affect the look of the black glass. The wings also help secure the protector from lifting off the edges
I also put a skin on the back to get rid of the fingerprints you get on the black N20U .

I was looking for a topic like this haha. My one actually developed a few bubbles and I had to peel it off a couple of days ago. I received my unit in early September.
I am now struggling to find a good protector that works well with a case. Tried Ringkie but the protector was a way smaller than my phone!! Looks like it was a faulty batch. Tried another one - Apiker, and it peeled off when I putted my phone to my Spigen case despite Apiker advertising it won't.
I am now stranded in the middle of nowhere. Don't know what to buy to have a bubble-free screen and compatible with my Spigen case. Ordered the Spigen screen protector but it has mixed reviews...
I now regret I removed the original one.

Just get the one of the ones mentioned earlier to tied you over . They're a dry applied 3 or 4 stage peel type. I think most are made by the same factory. Leaves about 2mm on edges almost like the factory applied gap.

I couldn't find a single dry protector that would be bubble free and compatible with a case. No matter how hard I try to follow the instructions the protector either has bubbles/spots or peels off when phone is in a case. It just doesn't stick firmly. I will try my luck with Spigen wet protector. It should be compatible with Spigen cases as advertised. Already spent around 40 pounds on different protectors with no luck. I wish Samsung could offer the service for a fee. Their factory screen protector was attached perfectly.

I still have pre-installed screen protector on mine too and it's sitting well and is like new still.
