[Q] Factory applied screen protector?

---

Hi guys,

Is there a pre applied screen protector on the Tablet S? Looking closely at the corners of the screen to does look like it but I haven't found any confirmation of this. I have a scratch on my screen and would obviously like to fix that.

Note that it was exactly like this on my Sony Ericsson Xperia arc where I just removed the pre fit screen protector and found a perfectly unscathed glass screen below. SE however declares that they apply a "shatter proof film" to avoid cracked glass displays

Can anyone confirm for the Tablet S? Has anyone tried to remove it?

Thx

Mine never came with one lol

Are you sure? Looks exactly like my phone. You would never have guessed it is there and you need to look really closely.

I bought one last week, and I can confirm there is a screen protector on the Tablet. I bought it in The Netherlands

Yes, there is indeed one applied from factory, just as there was with my Xperia Play. I did go ahead and add an anti-glare protector on top of mine so I essentially have two protectors on mind now, but I think for most the hassle and frustration of trying to apply a protector without dust/air bubbles etc, simply isn't worth it as you are already protected.

There is a screen protector on the Tablet S just like most of the Android phones from SonyEricsson.

It is quite different from what you can get in the market. The screen protector from the factory is to prevent cracks or breaks. The screen protectors selling on ebay or whatever amazon are for anti-scatching.

I was recommended not to removed the factory screen protector on my X10 once before but I did it. After removing the screen protector, the glass is quite fragile like iphone's. It ends up with cracks at the edge when I dropped my phone from my pocket. Because I was sitting at that moment, the height is approx. 30cm.

Sorry for my bad english.

Mine has a screen protector. It's a 16gb one from the US.

Thanks, looks like the scratch is just on the screen protector then which is good news

On Xperia phones we know it's fine to remove (providing you don't drop it) but would like to hear from someone with a Tablet S. The my scratches aren't big enough to motivate the increased risk of breaking the glass, yet at least..

I have scratch on my screen already, so worry... now since everyone said there is a screen protector I feel better...

It seems redundant to put another screen protector over the factory installed. I can tell there is one on mine since it feels like plastic when I touch the keyboard...Is everyone still putting the sony screen protector over the factory installed?
