What screen protector are you using for your iPhone 5?

If you want to keep the natural glass feel of the iphone screen, this is the only choice:

Seriously, I'd never put another plastic screen protector on any of my phones.
Just use the hinge method if you're not sure you'll align it properly:

Great Video on installing using the hinge method, IAMTHEKILLER
By the way, thanks so much for posting on the Spigen screen protectors. I bought a Zagg one today, but haven't installed it and once I read all the bad reviews on them (plus I am SO not going to spray anything on my new expensive phone - just not happening!), I ordered the Spigen through Amazon. You guys rock!

The one that came with my Trident Aegis case. Probably my favorite case I have bought so far for any of my past iPhones.
Bought a set of Halo protectors:

Phone hasn't arrived yet (should be here early next week) but the protectors came super fast. Have loved these for all previous models, great balance of high quality with good price.

I just ordered a set. hopefully they're better than the Zagg protectors I've used over the years.
Same as on prior devices: SGP ultraoleophobic. Coating wears off but it basically ends up as a crystal screen protector.
Better's always subjective. If you want a more glass-like feel, no orange peel, dry install and don't like how the Zagg IS attracts dust & dirt and eventually peels up that the edges you'll be pleasantly surprised. That said, there are fans of the Zagg IS that prefer it (again, it's a subjective matter).
over time, they'll end up being the same thing.
If you hate fingerprints, stay away from them; oil and fingerprints smudge all over them and it's impossible to wipe off unless you use a microfiber cloth.
Anybody know what this one feels like? (the high definition one)

The guy at best buy showed me what he said was a sample of it, but he also told me the iPhone 5 had a new retina screen which was better than the 4S' screen.
I want a protector that feels as much like the glass screen as possible.
