NEVER Remove the plastic cover on your screen guard

I'm new to Sony Xperia phones and didn't realize that they use a plastic cover over the glass. I know its to keep it shatterproof, but it kind of defeats the purpose of having a scratch proof glass front and back. Seems the plastic covering will get scratched up over time. Mine it just a few days old and I already have a small scratch on the back :(

Do any of you keep your phones in case? I really liked the XZ for its beauty and would rather use it without a case, but worry about the scratches now.
Anyone recommend a really good screen protectors, perhaps one that is really clear like glass and has oleophobic properties?

Dragontrail screen is possible but definitely not gorilla glass as all product use this screen will publish in gorilla glass official website.
corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/full-products-list

"Due to customer agreements, we cannot identify all devices that feature Gorilla Glass." So our XZ may still be using Gorilla Glass, but since there are some agreements they simply do not show it on their site.

However, the lack of confirmed information regarding the glass used and the need of anti-shatter film is, personally for me, really worrying as Sony might just have gone the cheaper way and used some other cheaper brand tempered glass with worse specifications than Dragontrail or Gorilla Glass.

It is a big advertisement, I don't think Sony refuse to get such FOC promotion. I don't think Sony ever use Gorilla Glass, but not also a cheap one, it still tough as Gorilla Glass.
