screen protector scratch

gfig19 — Sat, 10 May 2014 15:18:36 GMT

I have small visible scratches. Can I replace the screen protector with the same one or a similar one?

You mean the preinstalled ASF?Or a second one applied by you?

If its the ASF (anti-shatter film) you can not replace it, if you remove it, it will void your warranty, and its not sold separately

Thanks uli I guess I'll have to live with scratches until the z2 arrives. Does the z2 have asf as well because that would be a major fail.

It doesn't, but my suggestion is to apply a scratch resistant film or you can even apply a tempered glass screen protector.

Update: z1s asf isn't branded as the z1 seems to be. The Sony emblem is embedded and it does not affect warranty. This may be due to tmobile having changed the phone for the American market. I have replaced the heavily scratched asf with a zagg and it's 100x better.

I know there aren't many z1s users here but I figured this information can help someone out there who is having issues with asf silliness

Do you want to say some scratches on the ASF of Z1?

The ASF can keep scratches away from screen, but itself is not anti scratches. It is easy to get scrathes.

In fact, it is replacable. It is easy to peel it off, but it is hard to install a new one.

You can get the origianl Z1 Asf from witrigs.com.

BTW. You phone will out of warranty once you peel off the ASF due to SONY logo on the ASF.

Removing the ASF in the UK will not void the warranty, accoring to Sony.
