Opinions for Screen Protector - Sony Xperia Z

My old screen protector that came with the phone is flaking and peeling off. Juggling between getting tempered glass or 10x regular clear ones. Or should I get this one - 2 tempered glass pieces but posted from China.

I'm really after the cheapest and best option so any feedback would be most welcomed!

    Back and front if you don't have a case. I doubt it will stop anything major, just minor scratches.

    I've got a z3 compact with a case and front tempered glass. I don't know the difference between them or if brand names make a difference, but I just look for the 9H,. thinnest one I can find with rounded edges.

    • Thanks mate. I've got a case so no need for the back. 9H it is, I'll have a look into it.

      • If you really want to protect from scratches, get a back one too, sand/dirt can get in the case and scratch.

    • I just replaced a cheap tempered glass protector with a Nillikin 9H after reading about it on XDA - i think this is a product name as well as a hardness measurement.

      Interestingly it feels different to other tempered glass I've used, much more like the device: almost no friction. I wasn't expecting anything so when i started using it I was surprised.

    have had the xperia z z3 z5. get a glass protector. Get one on ebay via a local seller and youll get it in a week, dont choose a china seller or aliexpress takes too long.
    Youll get an Aus one for around $5.
    I have bought from http://stores.ebay.com.au/ezydigitalshop/ before, not sure if they still have them for the z seeing its a fair age now.
    the one you linked is fine.

    get the tempered glass ones

    buy one from an Aus seller and at the same time buy a few from china.

    e.g. 3 for US$2.25 delivered from aliexpress

    • The stock one has lasted me for close to 4 years and I don't think I'll be needing multiple. But having said that, I'm very tempted to buy the 3 for $3 AUD and not get Australian stock because it's a better deal and I'm in no rush to put on a new screen protector.

      I'll proceed with the aliexpress option. Thanks for the link!

      • last time(only time) I got one from aliexpress, the glass was rough on one edge and wouldnt stick down properly. wasted my money and 5 weeks wait.

  • Cheap tempered glass in my experience is foggy/yellow, and many times hole for sensor in wrong spot so the screen won't turn off in calls. Pleased with nillkin quality.

    • I've bought multiple cheap tempered glass screen protectors from aliexpress for multiple phones - 3 models of HTC, iphone 5, 6, 6+, lenovo k3 note, and some others .

      all have been perfectly clear and holes lined up with sensors, buttons, and front camera

      where did you buy yours from?

      • EBay. I bought cheapest I could find. Then decided to spend a little more ($9 I think?). Didn't notice discolouring until compared to better one- but biggest problem I was getting was cutout location.
