Best screen protector?

And it works! The front went on so easy. I just put mine on, messed up the back, though.
I got the Power Support anti glare, mine did not include a set for the back of the phone though, I thought it was supposed to?
Ps
Just ordered Front and Back Crystal for me. Plus a set of Front Crystals for my wife and son.

Power support crystal is the best.
You can't even tell you have a film on.
Don't get the HD matte. It dulls the retina screen, unless you like that.
For some reason Apple Stores stopped carrying the crystals.
I bought my 3GS crystal from there.
Anyway check this link for a 10% off coupon, which helps with shipping.

Can't go wrong with either,
I go mostly with SGP because they ship to me really fast since they ship from Los Angeles. Just a warning though, the SGP iPhone 4S full body set will just be the Verizon package which means the side protectors will not work (no sim card slot). They are working on fixing it and are sending me a new set when they are done.

Always used the Zagg back and front cover, usually get about 6 months out of it before it gets too grubby and dusty.
My first iphone the 2G had a PS shield for two years and you would never know it was there.. PS is top of the line
I have been using optishieldz since I got my iPhone 4, I got my iPhone 4S and the first thing I did was put a screen protector on it!
The 4S comes with an Oleophobic Coating so durable and scratch resistant I see no reason to plaster some clear cover over it. My 4 is as perfect as day one. Apples done an excellent job.
Another vote for Power Support anti-glare. I have been using them for as long as they have been available for iPhone. It does reduce the crispness of the iPhone screen a little bit but I am more than willing to take that trade off because fingerprints and the feel of the plain glass screen are not to my liking. The matte is smooth to the touch. I also use the screen protectors for my Macbook.
I am completely anal about getting the film on perfectly. I don't take off the iPhone plastic until I am ready to install the film. Once I do, I wear latex gloves because I know I won't get it exactly perfect the first time and there is always some sort of dust I will get to get out from under it.
If there is dust under the film or you need to lift the film to rearrange it, their method of using scotch tape to lift the film and then another piece to reach under the film and remove the dust works great. Takes me quite a while if I don't get it perfect on the first try.
If you aren't as anal, the screen protectors are easy to install and are not permanent which is the best part. I always seem to have a lot of extra PS films lying around for some reason so I put them on all my friends phones, they love them too. All about personal preference though.
