I bought a screen protector today made by case-mate, it came In a pack of two. The guy at the store put it on for me with no bubbles and I still have the other one in the box, I noticed right away that it made the screen quite blurry and almost oily looking, just wondering if anyone knows how to fix that.

Get a better quality screen protector. It is what it is.

Sounds like you have an anti-glare one on. There's no way to fix it.

Yes on the box it says anti glare and it does do that there is little to no glare but some clarity is lost. I notice the blurryness or oil looking affect on light coloured screens the most

That's typical of anti-glare units. You can get a crystal clear type that won't distort the display, but those typically are fingerprint magnets, so you have to decide which is more important to you.

If you are going to use a screen protector, the best ones out there are the Power Support and the Spigen.

Yep. Pretty much pick your poison, which ever type will work out better for you!
