They're talking about how the anti-glare coating makes the screen look like it has some sort of glittery pattern on it. The bumps from the anti-glare coating diffuse the pixels and distorts them.
Got a tip for us?

Oleophobic screen - nice, but not scratch proof. So what screen protector is both?

hmmm... well I don't think the anti-glare will be worth having anymore considering the whole idea of this coating is to prevent oil marks... to protect the screen i would definitely suggest the powersupport crystal.. you can barely even tell there's a scren protector on the phone...
I've used BodyGuardz, Best Skins Ever, and InvisibleShield, I think they're all pretty much the same... over time when the corners fold up, that's when it sucks
InvisibleShield comes with a lifetime warranty, they should replace it for you
I understand what's being said.
I'm saying it doesn't change the look of the screen. It's just a little less "vibrant".
Wait! Is the original post saying that the new 3G-S phone "oleophobic" screen is NOT as scratch proof as the current 3G screen ?
Does anyone know the answer to this question?
Oh, shoot... if a GENUS is using them, then...

I think the OP was being overly dramatic.
I installed the screen protector that came with my Speck Candyshell and it's very nice - crystal clear. You wouldn't know it was there if you weren't looking for it.
Unfortunately, it completely undoes the benefits of the oleophobic coating, so it's back to finger-and-faceprint land for me.
Happily, I think it's removable, so we'll see if I prefer scratchproofness or oilproofness in the long run.
