Correct.
Does anyone have experience with other tablets/e-readers that use plastic instead of glass in terms of ease of scratches and smudges? I have a Moto X2 Force which has a plastic screen instead of glass. When it debuted, it was marketed as being "shatterproof" and guaranteed not to crack. However, there are drawbacks:
1. As noted above, plastic screens, at least on the Z2, scratch easily.
2. Unlike glass, plastic screens tend not to be perfectly flat, thus attaching a rigid (e.g., glass) screen protector can be problematic.
3. The "liquid" screen protectors I've tried seem to be oleophilic, not oleophobic.
PS...FWIW, the Z2 Force, which started off at $700 is not available for $300 for the AT&T version. Great phone at that price.
