Review: Steinheil Ultra Series Oleophobic screen protector.

How many screen protectors do each of these come with? I'm very interested in the oleophobic one, but want both sides of my iPhone 4 protected (I've noticed scratches on both sides recently.)

You will get two for the front. I use the incipio feather plus oleophobic, protect both site. :D
 
wish they did a complete OLEOPHOBIC kit! I can't decide if I should get the crystal complete kit and the OLEOPHOBIC for the screen or just wait on power supports complete kit! ughhhhh i'm still using the stock plastic protectors on the back and an old 3gs PS on the front

I installed the Oleophobic screen on the front, and the UltraCrystal on the back, and it still works with my Belkin Grip Vue case, which is a huge plus.

I have to say, I love the Oleophobic front. On the old iPhones, I was a big fan of the antiglare shields, but once I saw the retina display, there was no way I wanted to distort that screen in any way. The Oleophobic screen is a perfect middle ground. It's not as good with fingerprints as an antiglare, but better then the naked screen. This is easily the best clear shield I've used. Even covering the front camera makes no visible difference with the photo quality.

Just wanted to make sure that the Oleophobic cover doesn't change the quality of the front camera. I mean not that its a great camera to start with but i don't want blurry FACETIME calls!!

The eBay seller I bought from swears that there's a cutout for the front camera. I'll find out for sure when I get it though.
 
I'm not to keen on a screen protector over a camera lens no matter how clear it might be. Fingerprints are bound to get on a screen protector much easier than a slighly recessed camera lens.

I totally agree. If the Ultra Oleophobic doesn't come with a hole for the front camera, it's going right back for a refund.
 
There is no cutout for the front. I was told by them that it had been tested and it did not need one.

Wow. I thought it would be an issue but it doesn't seem to be. Making it a bigger deal than it really is.
 
There is NO visible difference at all with the front camera covered. There is no need for a cut out.
 
Just ordered it
1 x SGP STEINHEIL ULTRA OLEOPHOBIC Anti-oil Screen Protector for Apple iPhone


Ii cant take this Wrapsol crap anymore :mad:
 
Does the "silicone adhesive" SGP uses damage the iPhone screen or oleophobic coating? How does it compare to the static cling of the Power Supports?
 
I just ordered my SGP STEINHEIL ULTRA OLEOPHOBIC. I'll post some high quality pictures when it comes in. :)

For the dirt in the middle just use tape to get them out. No need to blow another $20 just yet :p

I second the tape trick works great! Also use tape (normal scotch tape) to lift the screen protector off the phone so not to slightly bend or leave a finger print on the screen protector!!

Further explanation: put a piece of tape half on the screen protector and half off and lift the screen protector off with the tape then put a pice of tape were the dirt is and the tape with grab the dirt or dust or hair then put screen protector back down. I usually only lift the part I need to to be able to get to the dirt so that I don't have to try to re-align the screen protector.
 
Much better deal than buying from SGP...

I just bought it fromthis seller on Ebay, they offer free 1st class mail shipping in the US, which SGP charges $2.75 for. I used Bing Cashback (which sadly is almost over) & saved another 8% ($1.12) and also got another $.28 (2%) in Ebay Bucks to use in the future.

So I paid $12.84, with another $.28 to use later. SGP would have been $15.74.
 
Whats the best way to fit these, ive runined one today as when it was fitted it was out of alignment at the bottom and didnt fit around the home button well.

Do people start from the top or as ive seen in some youtube videos go from left to right length ways?
 
i noticed that some people in this thread have both the oleophobic and the crystal and saw that the oleophobic is 'softer.'

the ole is still not like saran wrap soft, right? i'm hoping that it's still a 'hard film' type and not a 'wrap' type soft... any input? i may be putting my order in for this today...

I believe the oleophobic is slightly softer than than the crystal but it is by no means "soft" like saran wrap. It's still a hard film that will certainly protect your screen from scratches.
 
Just ordered the Ultra Oleophobic. I'll worry about the back later. I'll have a case on anyway for the time being.
 
I also put in a order. I got the full body Ultra Crystal and also a Oleophobic to use for the front. I figured why not :D

I'm tired of the wrapsol :mad:. Hopefully these films will be a lot better.
 
Anyone else have high res pics of the ultra oleophobic installed on their iP4? I'd like to see some more.
