What is Best Screen Protector for iPhone 5

[docprego]

Green Onion Supply Oleophobic. Same oil resistance as the naked screen.

Second choice: Spigen SGP Oleophobic. Not as oil resistant, but still much better than regular protectors.

Some notes on the Green Onions oleophobic screen protector:

1- It has an incredible affinity for dust. I've never seen so much dust gather on my phone's screen before. Plus when I wipe it up with a microfiber cloth it ends up just being pushed around on the screen surface, it's virtually impossible to brush off or capture in the cloth.

2-The fit is not precise with too much gap left around the periphery between the protector and the screen.

3-It seems moderately oleophobic but I constantly have smudges all over it. In all fairness I don't seem to see fingerprints at all, just long smudges where I have swiped across the screen.

Thats sounds way different from my experience with them. The only con I had was the dust. Did you got a defective unit?

I don't think so. What was your experience?

I don't think so. What was your experience?

1. Gets more dust than the SGP Oleo, similar after a week of use. (aka both get more dust than the naked screen).

2. The oil resistance was similar to the naked screen.

3. Fit was very precise. Only 1/2mm of clearance like SGP and PS (manufacturers do this to prevent bubbling when using cases). Home button cutout was exactly as SGP (small), PS uses larger home button cutouts to make it easier to install.

All in all I was very satisfied with this protector and it is my current favorite. I also like the SGP Oleo a lot for similar reasons. If you can live with some decrease in clarity the SGP Ultra Fine is also a good choice.

Have you seen or try tempered glass screen guard

There is also a good screen guard protection made from tempered glass.

I have seen this Masteshop Iphone accessories.

Tempered glass screen guard for iphone 5.

You might want to check out the video, the phone is literally "hammered".
This will be a good screen guard if you want to avoid scratch or crack on the screen.
