Sony Xperia Z3 Screen Protector - Tempered Glass Screen Protector - by TruShield

The glass comes in pretty solid packaging to prevent bending during shipping. Inside is the protector itself, a small microfiber cleaning cloth, an alcohol wet-wipe, and something labeled dust remover or something like that which appears to simply be a roughly 1/4 phone screen sized sticker which you repeatedly adhere to the screen of your phone and peel off again so that all the dust on your screen sticks to it. At least that's what I did and it seemed to work. The instructions are fairly minimalist in the cleaning area, it simply says to use the cloth and alcohol to clean the screen. The dust sticker thing is not even mentioned. Although this is fairly simple and I did it on my own without any problem, it would have been nice to know what order the cleaning supplies were supposed to be used in. Installation of the glass itself was very simple, you just peel off the cover on the adhesive back, carefully line the holes up with your speakers, mic, etc... and let it set down onto your screen, The adhesive on the glass almost WANTS to stick to the screen, once part of it made contact, the rest of it stuck itself very easily with little to no pressure applied on my part. I had no trouble what so ever with bubbles being trapped under the screen. Two corners diagonally opposite each other do not seem to want to stay all the way down on my, but I believe this is because my phone's chassis is slightly bent and not a product defect. Once applied the glass feels basically just like the original screen. There is no noticeable difference in touch screen responsiveness. I have yet to have to test its durability with a fall or a blow to my screen, but overall I'm pretty happy with this product.CONS:-Installation instructions slightly lacking in detail-corners may not want to properly adhere if your phone is warped at all. (even subtly just from being in your pocket)PROS:-Very easy installation-No trouble with bubbles being trapped under screen-Does not impede touchscreen functionality at all.

I have used several protectors on my Xperia Z3, both glass and regular. So far this one is quite good but has a strange quirk. All other front glass protectors I've found have 2 cutouts for the speakers, and two more for both the camera and proximity sensor. On this one, the proximity sensor and speakers cutouts are the same but it has no cutout for the camera, which is great as it doesn't affect it. The less cutouts it has, the better it looks, right? But then it does have a fourth inexplicable cutout at the very edge on the top left corner that is not on the product pictures nor description. That alone makes it just as good instead of better looking than others.It is also slightly smaller than others and it won't reach the screen edges. It's not much, but it does make it look a bit odd. It states on the box that they do this on purpose as some phones have slightly curved edges and making it smaller will avoid dust getting underneath. If you own a Z3 you know the screen is absolutely flat so that is also short of a good explanation.I installed it very recently, so I'll update later regarding durability.

Pros: Price was good. Installation was very easy and this type of screen protector was by far the easiest for me to put on. I followed the instructions and slowly placed the protector onto the phone's screen. Once it made contact the adhesive did all the work. The package came with one additional tool which was not explained, either way I didn't need it. Another reason I purchased this was because of the toughness rating. I've had simple flimsy screen protectors in the past, all of them end up scratching the surface of my phone's screen after few years. I didn't want that for my brand new phone.Cons: (see picture) Only reason I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because unlike other screen protectors, this one is very clingy to fingerprints. It's much more difficult to clean unless I carry a microfiber cloth with me at all times. Luckily, I wear glasses so my glass case has a microfiber cloth which I use to clean the phone's screen protector. Aside from that, cleaning the screen protector with my shirt or jacket or even breathing hot air on it then trying to wipe it just smudges the fingerprints around. Maybe I missed reading that in the reviews of other buyers.Would I buy another one? No. I'd go with a different company w/ the same hardness rating if it ever gets to that. Might end up being the same in the end.

Received the screen today and had the screen protector install within 5 mins of opening the product. Product works as advertised. No complaints at all, screen protector even fits with my alligator case.
