I bought some anti glare from BB launch day and hated them! Att said they r suppose to get some in. If so I may go that route but I had the speck hard shell on and decided to ditch the whole screen protector idea, the front screen is fine I am only worried about the back and may put one on. It seems to ruin the screen quality on the front. Am I in the minority on this?

It probably comes down to personal preferences. I like the look of the anti-glare screen. Naturally, I choose an anti-glare screen protector over a glossy one any day. You may be different, and that's totally understandable.

I bought a set of ifrogz anti-glare protectors at Best Buy. I honestly don't think their quality is on par with that of the Power Support protectors, but that's good enough for me... for now. :)

Ya the ifrogz just rubbed me the wrong way. Personal preference your right! Glad to see a few keep their screens naked I am only worried about the back screen for scratches. Off the topic does the bumper rest the phone completely on the table/ground or is there a little lift?? If there is a lift awesome!! If not I may need something for the back, but again like my speck case which I already emailed them about!! I don't want the flash to get messed up. Stupid OCD ah ha!

I'm covered

I put a Zagg InvisiShield on. Not the least crazy about the rubbery feel of the surface but I'm getting used to it. After a few days I've gotten used to rubbing my nose so as to get some "nose oil lubricant" so my fingers don't skip across the screen. Lol

Yeah, I put on an InvisibleShield...front and back. I got the full set that covers the sides, top and bottom but think I'll skip it. To be honest, I may eventually pull it off for an iSkin case like I had on my 3GS.

Yes, the bumper has a lip to stop the glass of the phone from touching a flat surface.

I bought a cheap screen protector from handhelditems and after trying for days to get it on correctly, I definitely regret it. I'm holding out for Power Support now.

yup. Lots of sellers on ebay.
I don't like invisible shield or best skin ever because of that rubbery feel they give!!!
I am O.K. with replacing the cheap ones every month.


Monoprice should be getting theirs soon.

oh, and I did order some iPhone 4 screen protectors from a US seller, I only got 3.

I wanted to make sure before I bought 10-20 that they have the cut out for the front facing camera.

I think I got the 3 screen protectors for $2.99 shipped

I also ordered some for my 3G, 20 for $9.99 from a US seller

I have a bumper with IS on the back. Didn't really like the feel or look of it on the front, but I'll probably get a power support anti-glare when it comes out.

I put bodyguardz front and back on mine, skipping the sides. I rather like the stickiness, keeps the phone from sliding around and makes it much more secure in the hand. I used to go semi naked less bg but decded for my i's and wallets protection i should case them so broke down and picked up an incase slider for my 3gs.
I only wish apple would stop putting that worthless oliophobic crap on their screens, it wears off in no time so what's the point. I have several light scratches on front and back from "normal" use (no different than that of my 3G/3GS) so bg went on today (just got it in the mail). I am going to get a bumper (this thing is to damn hot to cover with a case) for "total" protection...... That is of course until I drop it in the head :eek:

I ordered Wrapsol Ultra. We'll see how that goes, and if I don't like it, I'll be going for the Power Support Crystal Film...which I've also used on my 2G and 3G.

Does anyone have any experience with the Wrapsol ultra?

I never liked the clear screen protectors but thought it would be a good idea to install one... Anyone have any opinion on that specific brand?

I decided to keep my screen naked with this phone. I am not sure if it is the glass or some other stuff that Apple put on the screen, but I noticed that the screen is not as bad with showing fingerprints as the iPad or previous iPhones were.

I think I'm going to go just bumpers until power support comes out. Then I may throw one on. Depends on if I get a scratch between now and then. If the front really is gorilla glass, I think it should be pretty solid.

I'll be pretty OCD about what goes where in my pockets for a while though. The iPhone will basically get its own pocket, haha.
