Best anti-fingerprint/smudge protection?

[sotie]

I'm trying to determine which screen protector is best to avoid fingerprints. My child tends to have abnormally sweaty hands and everytime it's used I have to clean off the fingerprints and smudges afterwards.

Please recommend a screen protector!

Antiglare properties are not important to me and I don't care about them. I am cautious because I've read about other's experiences with screen protectors that diminish the screen brightness/clarity.

I recommend a Power Support anti-glare. It resists finger prints really really well. I just posted some pictures in this thread

iLounge did a preliminary on some screen protectors and they also were leaning towards Power Support

There is a reduction in clarity, but not much and the anti-fingerprint properties are well worth the trade off.

Zagg

I like the Invisible shield from Zagg, I've had it on my Pad for almost 2 weeks and not having near the problems I did without a protector, I have not noticed any distortion with it in place either.

Man, I was with that statement, and said the exact same thing, and for my iPhone, I still believe that, but once I had used the iPad for 3 weeks, and then put on the anti-fingerprint, it wasn't worth the trade off. The screen is so damn beautiful, and the loss of clarity killed me. I look at it this way... With a micro fibre cloth, in 4 seconds, my screen is back to it's original state. With the shield on, it will NEVER be AS clear as without it on. I have to go with the clarity over the anti-fingerprint.

I do agree, the screen is beautiful. I just like having protection from scratches, I can always replace a screen protector but not a screen. I also like not having to wipe the screen as often as I would without the protector.

To each his own though. Just depends on preference really.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Bestskinsever is the same as Zagg but cheaper and in my opinion their cutouts/fit is better.

I have a screen protector on, it's just a clear shield from RadTech, and you can't tell anything is on. It gets less smudgy than without it, so it's sort of a good solution.
