I'm used their products a long time. I'm trying to pick which film would be best. I want the best clarity on the screen and the back too if they end up not using cutouts for the camera.

I've used Matte on my 3GS and I'm not sure if I want to stick that on my iPhone 4
 
I've used their products from the very beginning with the 2G on through til now. I even have a 3GS crystal film on my iPhone 4. Work great, but not a perfect fit. I just hate to wait til the 24th of July when these ship!:eek:
 
So far this is helping me a lot. I think I should try crystal film. I slapped my 3GS PS film on my iphone 4 until this comes out. It'll help some. :) I'll play with my old extra matte film so it'll be a practice with the new iphone 4 screen being so nice now.

All indications seem to suggest that Powersupport USA will only release a front screen protector. I think that's ridiculous.

We need to petition them to create a product for the front AND back.

They are making front and back. I emailed them last week. Its fine. Their smart, they know they need to make the back too. ;)

Hello,

Thank you for your interest. The iPhone 4 films will include a front and
back skin. It is available for pre-order on our website and will ship on
July 26th.

Which one is the most matte possible? I'm about to get my very first iphone, and I absolutely cannot stand reflections. Glossy screens give me instant eye fatigue pain. So I would much rather err on the side of TOO matte and TOO anti-glare. So which film is the best at removing reflections? How good and complete of a job does it actually do against reflections? For instance, the current anti-glare macbook pro screens are still too reflective for me, while the old G4 powerbook matte screens are perfect for me. Can any of these iphone films offer that level of non-reflection?

Matte was pretty good before. On my 3GS. I like Matte the best with macbooks with the matte screens. Its better for colors and stuff. Better for photoshopping stuff and for whatnot.

Hmm.. different people seem to be getting different answers via email.

Was told that the front/back is not available until a unknown date sometime this summer, and if you pre-order now it will just be for 2 fronts.
 
Can't wait for the crystal to start shipping in a few weeks. I've been a huge fan of theirs after using one for the 3Gs that held up for more than half a year of use. SGP and other brands really have nothing on them once you compare side by side.
 
I second vincenz. Steinheil do not compare. Not to mention the great customer service of SGP.

The CS named at Terrance in power support knows everything right. They'll definitely will include the front and the rear glass films. And ofcourse, they def. will have cutouts for the camera. I still think though, the front screen probably doesnt need a cutout there. Theres no flash on the front, so probly doesnt matter. The Flash is the best part giving all the blue flashing. Im keeping my shipping film from the box is still on there, and im sure thats the same issue everyone notices for other films you can buy yet or some.

I've ordered my HD Glare kit because I've always read through about my 3GS info in the site again, and the HD comes with Matte, so this will be good. I really like it alot. Very clear too. I'm ready! It'll be worth soon.

Also, if anyone needs something temp until your need films are coming, I did this. I used my 3GS extra screen film matte on my iphone 4. They dont fit *perfect* but it fits really close, and it'll make it safe I've had it on there for 2 weeks now and it i dont think you can even notice it. Try it. Better than nothing on there. :)

Power Support- :D
 
I have the PS anti glare film for my iPad and it makes the screen a little blurry, you can see a little of the fine grains in it. Therefore, unless they did something advance with the HD anti glare film, I would also suggest getting the regular crystal film. I wanted to take my iPad film off but didn't wanna write off the 25 bucks I spend.
 
I've pre-ordered the Crystal films. I have one on my ipod touch, and it's amazing. Completely clear, and I can't even tell that it's there. I'm pretty confident in Power Support in general, but I'm not a matte/anti-glare person.

Well, Terrance is the one who emailed me back (twice)

Hello,

Thank you for your interest. The iPhone 4 films will include two front
skins. It is available for pre-order on our website and will ship on July

We will be offering a different film set that will include a front and back
skin. The release date on that is yet to be determined. Please check Power
