[Q] Screen protector in the box? topic

Hi all,

I absolutely just got my Z1c (didn't even turn it on yet), and the first thing that called my attention is that there is a screen protector on the box... so, a few questions:

1) Does this mean that there is no screen protector already installed on the screen?

2) Is it worth installing it or not? I've read that on the regular Z1, the protector is only for shatter protection, but is actually not scratch resistant... if this is also the case for the Z1c, I guess that I will do without the protector... any other reason to install it?

PS: this baby just arrived after pre-ordering it at Sony Mobile Italia...

Thanks,
Leo.
