Opinions on Skinomi? It has a ton of positive reviews, and 6 bucks shipped isn't bad so I ordered one. My next choice if that doesn't work out was going to be SGP Crystal. I used MediaDevil's Matte Clear screen on my 4 and was happy with that but their iPhone 5 screen protector isn't out yet.
Got a tip for us?

I love the Switcheasy Pure's. I had them for my 4S and just ordered the i5 set today. The set comes with 2 front shields and one back one for the aluminum part. $13.
Spigen Ultra Crystal...
I installed it flawlessly in the steamy bathroom using the hinge method...

I've been using the SGP Stenheil Ultra Oleophobic for my iPhone 4 for exactly 2 years already.
It does have a few scratches because I dropped it on sharp surfaces screen-first. And after 2 years, it still retains a minor oleophobic effect/layer. Pretty good imo. I felt that the surface is pretty though/strong too, considering that little scratches I have on it after 2 years of clumsy usage. It also doesn't reduce my retina display quality at all and looks completely invisible - no one knew I had a screen protector on it!
Just ordered a new one for my iPhone 5 today and can't wait for it to arrive.

Spigen Glass.t
I would highly recommend Spigen Glass.t. It's very clear, the tough is identical to the phone's screen and it can protect your screen very well, compared to other screen protector. I also got Spigen Ultra Crystal screen protector and installed it on my wife's phone and absolutely loved it. The clarity and feel of the two protectors are very much indentical, just not sure how well the Ultra Crystal could protect your screen compared to the Glass.t
Installation of the Glass.t was not so difficult, even if you only get one shot. Just to make sure that when you put the glass on your phone, put it down gently so that it won't stick onto the screen and you can adjust it until it's completely in the desired position, then you can press down firmly for the protector to stick to the screen.

Yes $10 is a lot to pay for someone to cover your phone in soapy water, dip the plastic film into the soapy water, lay it on your phone, squeegee it with a piece of plastic, and then let it sit by the fan for a few minutes to dry.
One of my coworkers bought Ghost Armor for her iPhone 4 and she paid $45. When it started to go bad, she got it replaced but they wanted $10-15 to "install" it.
She gave the plastic films to me and I managed to install it. I don't think the labor is worth $10. It takes ~5 minutes to do it.
Stop trolling.
They replace it for FREE no matter what BS you want to say that your "friend" went through.
This stuff sticks to the phone better than super glue, trust me, I work construction and havent had an issue yet with my 4 or my 5.
Yes they give you new stickers for free, but if you want them to apply them onto your phone, they want $10. They = the booths at the mall near me.
I love Green Onion oleophobic protectors. The oil resistance is similar to the naked screen. Second option are the Spigen Oleo. Not as oil resistant as the GO ones but still better than regular protectors. Both are crystal clear and feel like the naked screen:

If you are going with a protective case, might as well get an Invisible Shield for about $17? (online)
