Re: screen scratches
Sony just sent me this
Dear Eric,
Thank you for contacting Sony*Xperia? Online Support.
We apologize for the delay in this response. We understand that you have concerns regarding the Anti-Shatter Film on your phone. Xperia devices normally have a tempered and scratch-resistant display glass.
In addition, the glass often has a shatterproof layer, an anti-shatter film (ASF), over it. The ASF is softer than the display glass, and thus less scratch-resistant.
If the layer is peeled off the display will lose some its shatterproof characteristics.
The purpose of the anti-shatter film (ASF) is to make the display*
withstand being dropped from greater heights. The anti-shatter film has a positive effect on the sensitivity and accuracy of the touch screen. In the unlikely event of the glass cracking, the ASF can protect against cuts.
If a user peels off the ASF, the display loses its anti-shatter characteristics.
The ASF is a part of the device construction and helps to protect the display if the phone, for instance if the phone is dropped. Some consumers remove the ASF, which itself doesn?t void the warranty of the device. However, any physical or cosmetic damages to the display and/or the back cover where the ASF is removed will void the warranty.
