Default Official Sony screen protectors from Japan for Xperia S

Hey guys I just recieved and applied the official Sony screen protector for the Xperia S from Japan and it is THE BEST. It is MUCH better quality than the one included in the box of the Xperia S.

I am not referring to the pre-applied anti-shatter sheet, I covered that up like you are supposed to with the screen protector included in the box. After recieving this new one, I just removed that screen protector with a piece of scotch tape and after some cleaning and polishing of the area the old screen protector did not cover I applied the new Sony one from Japan once again over top the anti-shatter sheet and wow what a difference.

To begin with, this screen protector covers EVERYTHING. The one included in the box left a sizeable portion uncovered at the top that looked a bit ugly. This one covers everything and only has a perfectly cut hole for the earpiece speaker and the camera.

I chose the anti-fingerprint model and it really DOES work well. You have a choice of four official Sony screen protectors from Japan.

Crystal clear model:

Anti-reflective model:

Anti-fingerprint model:

Privacy model:

However note that the privacy model doesn't cover the bezel, just the actual display area. If you want the privacy model and you want to protect the entire bezel you should apply it over top of the crystal clear model.

I'm curious - with the anti finger print model is it a matte finish? Any difference in the screen quality (e.g. brightness, crispness, clarity)?

I've been doing a lot of reading and from what I have read is that the anti - fingerprint ones do degrade the quality of the screen. Would be interested in the one you mentioned and would be willing to spend the coin don't want to end up with something that in my opinion is sub-par.

I would love a matte screenprotector. The protective matte foil that was on the phone when it first arrived (the one you're supposed to peel off almost right away) felt amazing.
