Z3 Front Glass - Digitizer or Screen Protector

Good day!
We know that Xperia Z3 has this nice glass on the front (and back), my question is, is that already the phone digitizer or it's a built-in screen protector (since it looks like it's on top of the main screen)?
If it's the former then, in case it cracked by any means, could it be easily replaced? How much would it cost? 
Thanks for any response!

The z3 has a digitizer just like any other smartphone otherwise you'll need a mouse, as far as screen protector, under the digitizer it has an anti-shater film (ASF), you should apply a scratch resistant film on top of the screen.
The digitizer its glued to the lcd, you will have to buy the whole unit, lcd plus digitizer

    Sorry that I am editing this. I forgot to look above that it is a Lumia 625
    So yep.. You need to go with buying the glass which includes the digitizer. It comes together and cannot be separated. That is the only componet you need to buy. There is no need to replace the display/LCD as that will just extend the overall costs uselessly. Your display is pretty fine and as you say, original.
    Buy the digitizer along with the plastic frame as it is a very tough task toi reuse the original frame.
    Summing it up, I would recommend going the official Nokia Care way.If there's no such service available to you, buy a digitizer from an authentic source (ensure it is high quality) and replace it yourself or pay a local technician to do that.
    I don't know!

  • Can anyone recommend a glass or plastic screen protector that fits a Speck Candy Shell case?

    Hi. Does anyone know if a glass screen protector will be too thick to fit the Candy Shell case? I really don't like the film options. I specifically want to get the Sir Lancelot's Armour glass protector.

    Ive seen and played with most all the zippered strapped cases, and most all of them are awful.
    it still ended up back at the Incase strapped case, very thin, but very well padded, well made and the perfect all around choice.
    id recommend getting a like new used one for $25 on ebay rather than $60 new.  But as you wish.
    like this :

    $20 , Incase used like new , perfect choice.

  • Should I buy a Screen Protector for my iPod Touch 4G?

    Hi, in a couple days, I'm going to be buying a iPod Touch 4G 32GB, and I really want a Screen Protector, but I don't know which one to buy. I have been looking at the ZAGG Screen Protector, but not too sure.

    I say yes.... get a screen protector
    keeps scratches away
    you have no problems throwing your device into your pocket with keys
    when the glass breaks, the screen protector keeps you from getting your hands cut
    With regards to Zagg...
    do your research about installation..... check out YouTube for Zagg product installation
    do you feel comfortable doing this yourself, spraying liquids on your device
    consider a professional installation service with cheaper alternative products. There's lots of these guys in malls around my neighborhood
    there are matte and glossy films.... I like glossy

  • Im looking for a case with a built in screen protector Help

    Im looking for a case, thats semi-slim, with a built in screen protector, and possibly waterproof.
    any suggestions

    I think if your looking for that kind of protection its pretty much going to add bulk...I've searched through hundreds of cases and those are the smallest with built in screen protectors...im 5' tall 100lbs and the ballistic fits in my pocket comfortably...I've never seen an otterbox on one so I can't truly compare them...I know I found a leather flip front case with a screen protector on Amazon too...very little protection and far from waterproof though...they have baggy kind of things that are waterproof that you can use your phone through...I don't know if it would fit in with any kind of case on it though

  • My new (under contact to Optus in Australia) iphone 4 has a cracked screen with intermittent digitizer faults, can I just get a new front glass?

    New to all this, purchesed a new iphone 4 as part of a contract to optus phones in Australia just 2 months ago, I have dropped it and cracked front screen, don't think this is a warrenty coverage so what can I do now? Confused as to wether I can buy just a new front glass screen or need to buy the digitizer as well? Looking for cheepest option as the phone only costs me $8 a month for two years.

    Unless it the same repair process as the US, they will replace the whole phone itself at a cost.

  • I have this weird stain in my ipad screen and screen protector that has formed around a crack in the glass.

    Some time ago my ipad 4 screen slowly began forming a long hairline crack at one corner and near the home button for some reason, perhaps daily rough and tumble taking it to class and whatnot.  The crack is not very noticeable so I have delayed getting the screen repaired. 
    I used to have a Boxwave Cleartouch Ultra screen protector on, and as directed, would peel it off now and then to give it a good wash(it's one of those reusable ones with adhesive on the edges only and yes they are meant to be washed now and then).  One day after doing this, I noticed a strange puddle of tiny round stains clustering near the crack.  I didn't think much of it until I equipped my ipad with a stronger ipad case with it's own screen protector.  The stain seemed to cling onto the Boxwave screen protector even after cleaning.  Now with a new screen protector the stains around the crack were these tiny rainbowy areas around the crack that sat on top of the glass and were visible as just some kind of smudge when the screen was turned off.  I recently discovered the stain has transferred to my new screen protector when I remove it and is visible when you look at it at an angle when removed from the ipad. Not even dish soap seems to get rid of it. 
    I am wondering what this stain could be, I mean there is no liquid pooling out of the digitizer or anything.  One idea I have is that maybe some adhesive from the first screen protector got loose after washing and pooled into the crack and thats why they have a smudgy appearance that they got when wiping the screen dry.  There are no liquid stains under the crack however.  Another thing I thought of was maybe something to do with oleophobic coating and the crack itself.  I am also wondering how  to get rod of it safety. 

    You are welcome.

  • Will screen protector affect the quality of the front facing camera?

    I got my screen protector cut out and fitted on my phone in Hanoi very cheaply - looks great. However, they were not able to cut out the hole for the front facing camera as well as I would want it to look like (it was either to big or not round enough, etc). So I ended up with a screen protector covering my front facing camera.
    They said this will not affect the quality of the front facing camera. However, Lenovo S90 has a 8MP front facing camera, so I it's not like fitting a screen protector on a 5 year old nokia with VGA front camera. How much do you think this will affect the quality of the front facing camera? Unless I can compare 1:1 pics, its hard to say.
    I know the Lenovo original screen protector has a hole for the flash light, camera, and the sensor. So I wonder if anyone at Lenovo ever tested how does screen protector affect the quality of the camera? (Btw. I really do not see a need for a hole for the proximity sensor, it seems to work well with screen protector on it, so why bother?)
    P.S. I am currently in KL, JameZ, so I was wondering if Lenovo KL can do a screen protector for S90 and how much would that cost. My screen protector is actually so well done that you could not say there is a screen protector on the phone. I only worry about the quality of the front facing camera.  

    Welcome to Malaysia mate!
    I think the best place to get screen protectors in Malaysia (KL) would be Low Yat Plaza. At the 3rd floor, there are heaps of shops selling accessories.
    Separately, I use glass based protectors and they are do have holes for Proximity sensor, light sensor and front cam.
    I don't think the screen protector would affect the quality of the front cam but rather the light sensor.
    Also if the screen protector you use is clear, it should be fine. Take a selfie!

  • Iphone 4s front glass screen smashed. Will apple replace for free if I have Apple Care?

    Iphone 4s front glass screen smashed. Will apple replace for free if I have Apple Care? Can I do it in any Apple Store? I bought it in EEUU

    Sorry no
    the iPhone can not be serviced anywhere other than the US
    The warranty is NOT international it is only valid in the country of purchase
    AppleCare + as explained is also NOT international it is only
    valid in the US
    This is why all responders recommend against buying in USA
    you are resident in another country
    Just for reference an iPhone purchased within the European Union
    can be serviced under warranty in any member EU state
    However that does not help you

  • Where can i buy iphone 6 plus tampered glass screen protector and waterproof casing

    where can i buy iphone 6 plus tampered glass screen protector and waterproof casing. how much is it and where can i get it.FROM SINGAPORE

    If you take a look at the Lifeproof fre and it's features, I don't think you should need a tempered glass screen.  I have found this case to be so perfect that the touch ID works better than it did directly on the iPhone 6 Gorilla Glass. 

  • What is the 2nd sensor on the front, right next to the ear speaker for, and can I cover it up with a screen protector?

    I received a package of screen protectors from Tech Armor today that were advertised to work for the iPhone 5, 5S and 5C.  They don't have a cutout for the second sensor on the front face that is to the left of the ear speaker.
    What is that sensor for?  And can I cover it up with a screen guard without reducing the functionality/effectiveness of the hardware?
    Thanks,
    Pete.

    That's the proximity sensor, senses when you have the phone close to your face, turns off the screen to save battery and prevent accidental input from face touching the screen.
    It's ok to be covered by by a transparent screen protector. I have used screen protectors that cover up that sensor, no problem.

  • How much does apple charge to replace front glass/screen?

    So I have a cracked front glass. I am wondering how much Apple charges to replace it? I called the closet store and they said they cannot give prices over the phone that I would have to come in. Problem is, the store is 40 minutes away. There is a mall about 10 minutes away that charges $70 for front replacement.

    apple get you a new phone for 199$ they dont just fix screens. but warning going to any one else will void any warranty you have with apple
