Thumbs up Best iPhone screen protector?

Anybody have any experience with the clear plastic film you put over the front of an iPhone?

Any recommendations?

I use InvisiShield by Zagg (www.zagg.com) on my iPhone, iPod and camera LCD displays. Haven't had an issue with any application.

For my iPhone, I only used the front film, and couple it with the CapsuleRebel shell from Switcheasy (www.switcheasy.com).

Both were purchased based on reviews in iLounge (www.ilounge.com)

I haven't had any issues with either and would recommend.

I bought the anti-glare matte finish one. So far I like it

It's going in for clear bra soon though.

I've had mine since the beginning with no screen cover with no screen damage. It's not needed, just a way to get some extra money out of you.

I have the Agent18 Polarized Privacy Screen.

It does make your screen darker but I enjoy it because I don't have to worry about people peering and it's very thick and secure.

I used to go with the Invisible shield but it has a very noticeable orange peel effect. And you have to use a liquid solution to install it then squeegee it out......kinda like tinting windows and for me, I was never happy with the results.

Phantomskinz have substantially less orange peel but you still have to use a solution and squeegee it out.

I am currently using a boxwave screen protector now on my Palm Pre and am very satisfied with it. It is just a peel and stick that is cut for your specific device. They make them in a crystal clear version or anti glare. I'm using the crystal clear one.

I think you'll be happy with it.

Thanks - I have a case-mate one now, and after 1 year its getting pretty scratched up, so I wanted to see some other opinions before I drop $12 on a new package.

I used the Invisible Shield thing on my old phone. They're great for protection, but starts peeling after awhile. Plus they are little harder to move across, so I would imagine they are not so nice for touch screen phone like the iphone

Apple stores sells these "Power Support" screen protectors. They come in crystal or anti-glare(which is what I have). Awesome stuff and very smooth(at least the anti-glare one). Down side.....they tend to attract grease/smudge from you hand. But which one doesn't?
