I'm looking into screen protection, I am pretty much set on the Power Support Films. As I went to order, I came across two versions; Power Support Crystal and Power Support Anti-Glare.

I hear the power support crystal is a nice film, but it still shows all the finger print smudges. Otherwise it is known to have a good feel and clear picture.

Now the power support anti-glare, I hear mixed things about. Some say the surface is very rough and it makes the screen very dark. On the good side it is known to not show the fingerprint smudges.

I just wanted to ask here about thses both before I buy one. Maybe if someone could post up some pics of what both look like. Does the Anti-Glare really make the screen that dark?
 
I've never used or seen the anti-glare one, but the crystal film one works great for me.

The fingerprints really aren't an issue. The iPhone's glass itself shows fingerprints much more easily than the crystal film does, and the crystal film feels very much like the glass itself (although I do slightly prefer the feel of glass over the film).
 
How do these compare to the Best Skin Ever or Invisible Shield? They aren't made of the same material are they? Do they really give that much protection?
 
I started out using the clear one and it showed fingerprints just as bad as not having one. Someone at work had the anti-glare one and I ended up switching and like it better. Hides a majority of the smudges and fingerprints better. The screen looks a little grainier but I can live with that as a trade-off for hiding the smudges and prints.

Thanks for the pic, you can def see the grain on that film. Appears to make it look like one of those matte lcd screens.

I think I rather have the clear one. :)
