Screenprotector

---

The xperia s has the shatterproof sheet pre-applied. This seems to somewhat receptive to scratches.

What exactly is the purpose of this sheet? Is it to strengthen the screen, so it won't break so easily if you drop the phone. Or is it just to hold the glass together when it breaks?

If I want to apply a screen protector like a martin fields or brando ultra clear, should I apply if over the shatterproof sheet, or should I remove the shatterproof sheet?

It's there to help protect your display from from getting scratched, damaged etc. If you're thinking of getting your own screen protector, i would certainly remove the shatterproof sheet before putting on your new one. If you dont, the screen MAY end up less responsive.

I am in the exact same boat. I got my phone last night, been playing with it at work and literally 5 minutes ago I noticed that it already has a sheet on the screen?

But last night after picking up the phone I immediately bought a screen protector on eBay.

Should I keep the sheet on the phone now until its worn and scratched and then replace with the ones I have got on eBay?

Yeah I would just keep the original on, and when it's worn out, put a new one on.

I think I'm gonna do that as well. Just keep it the way it is, until it starts to annoy me. Then I'll take it off and stick a new one on there.

I wouldn't recommend taking it off. I did it on my Play and once the screen gets greasy, some random touches start appearing by just blowing at the screen, so you often have to clean it.

I'm getting an XPs soon ...by for now I have my old desire ... never fitted a screen protector etc...

How many scratches have I got?? None...

Do I have to clean the screen ?.. Yes...

The XPs has strong glass ( gorillia glass MK2 ) sure your get smudges etc, but that adds to the charm !

As long as you have a good lint free cloth you should be fine !!

The Xperia S doesn't have gorilla glass, it has glass scratch resistance

Has anyone actually removed the pre applied screen protector? Does it change the feel of the screen?
