Do you have a screen protector applied to your phone?

Yep, YMMV is true. Except for a 3 month period with the 3GS, I've always used PS protectors, front and back. But with the 4S, I'm trying bare. Since I was never scratching my PS...I realized that I was saving the Apple screen for the guy that purchased my old phone on eBay!

I don't like the new PS's look. They added a cut out for the LED that turns the screen off with near your face. Looks really unattractive, IMO. Beforehand, the screen protector was less noticeable...now it is obvious. Also, they use to make the application in 3 sections...now they are back to 2. The 3 worked better.

Bubbles have not been a problem on the main screen. But ones that are near the screen edge do to poor alignment are a pain. My eyes are probably older than yours, and that is part of the problem. I always use the static film/tape to clean things too, but one dust bit is enough for me.

Finger and hand grease are a real everyday problem. And while the Apple Oleophobic coating is not perfect, I found that it cleans up much, much better with just a cloth, than any screen protector does: On the PS is just smears around a lot more...and it takes other measures to really make it clean.

I really like the PS anti glare. I used them for a weeks vacation on the beach in bright sun. I will probably do that again. But as PS says right on the package, they will dim the screen brightness and reduce the image quality. Just a real fact of life because the Anti-glares are just diffusers over the screen...that is how Anti-glare works.

So far no scratches, even with direct sun and funny viewing angles. But I know that scratches can occur. For now, it is an experiment, and the scrolling even is a bit smoother. I noticed that every time I'd change out the PS (about 5 months). I like the bare screen as it was designed.

Just my POV for now. Maybe I'll hire you to apply my PS in the future....

 

Irish Rose,

I should correct myself a bit. With the PS Anti glare, that you have, you will hardly see fingerprints and smudges. That's the beauty of the diffuser screen. The sacrifice is diminished brightness and clarity.

That is why I likes the AG do much for the beach. Sun creamed fingers were no problem really.

So your experience with your anti glare vs my crystal clear PS would be understood.

Yes, me also carry an external pocket for my Nokia 3110c. It protects it's screen from dust and scratches.

 

Yes of course, I have been using this Iphone 4s since a long time and I have been using the screen protector from the gearmaxx from ebay. There were many products ideal for my phone so I had no hesitation in choosing one.

 

Just to awaken this thread lol, I no longer am using a screen protector. I have since moved to a Note 3. I used a screen protector on it; however, I got tired of using it and ripped it off my phone.

I am good at brands of mobile phone spare parts and accessories，phone case/phone LCD/touch screen/screen protector, i hope i can help you no matter what questions of your phone accessories,good quality to protect your phone screen.

 

phone protector - yep. and always an "orange peel" zaggshield. I can't stand the glare of natural or man-made light off the screen, my Zagg is awesome (except in the winter when my touch gloves won't work thru it)

 

Nope, no screen protector and no case. I rock my HTC One X in all her naked glory. Will do the same with whatever I upgrade to in the next few months.

 

I put a BodyGuardz glass screen protector on all of my iPhones.
