Xperia Arco S

1. The sheet is scratch-resistant & shatter-proof. It is on the screen by factory settings.
2. It is removable.
3. The screen & sheet is only scratch resistant, as well as any other sc on the market.

There is no such thing as a shatter proof sheet being scratch resistant, correct me if I am wrong. The shatterproof sheet acts like those on the car windscreen or even on the airplane cockpit windows. It is just a "soft" laminate to prevent the glass from complete shattering and thus endangering the users. So if you do happen to drop and cack the mineral glass, you will not cut your fingers if you accidentally swipe past the broken portion.

This thin layer of sheets are in no means scratch proof. Sony may claim it to be hard coated sheets but they are still prone to scratched due to use and wear. Only the Gorilla glasses in my experiences are much much more scratch resistant.

I will never recommend to remove the factory fitted shatter proof sheet as it is there to serve its purpose. If we want more scratch protection, it is better to add another layer of SP (like those of good quality ones from 3M or SPIGEN SGP etc).

If you read my earlier edited post, I referred all these products as scratch-resistant and not scratch-proof. And I reckon you know the differences between these two. A typo error is what you need to spot if you read from my point 1 - 3.

And a scratch-proof sc is almost non-existant.

Strange I was not told by the Sony service centre executive that the sheet is removable. I would not have handed my phone in. I would have immediately removed the sheet and put on a SP on my own expense.

Are you an official representative from Sony Mobile to inform us that the sheet is user removable? Or is there an official publication by Sony Mobile that you can point me to? Thanks.

The correct answer they should give you - it is removable, but not suggested as it is shatter-proof sheet on the screen. I am not from sony or any affiliated personnel. You can find a lot of information from the amazing geeks at xda.

Did anyone remove shatterproof sheet before applying screen protector? - xda-developers

Nay, no issues. This is a forum for discussion, not a battlefield.

How much you bought in total?

How much you bought in total?

I bought 2 cases for YEN5960 (SGS 97.21). So it is YEN2980 each (SGD48.61).

vPost Shipping is SGD48.24. So it is SGD24.12 each.

Therefore is about SGD72.80 per case.

Sould have ordered more cases as the vPost shipping charges could have covered for at least another 5 more cases...
