Oleophobic screen protector?

Ehi guys, which screen protector do you use?
I've got Mediadevil cristal clear. Not bad, but it's not oleophobic at all. Do you know a good oleophobic screen protector? Thank you!

I'm fairly sure the Spigen GLAS series of protectors are oleophobic, as well as the Obliq Zeiss Oleophobic one. Neither of these are as good as the screen but they work well. I have the Obliq one and I love it,

Thank you for your input man, it's my first day with the awesome Nexus 5!

The Spigen GLAS tempered glass screen protectors do have some oleophobic properties, but it still gathers fingerprints quite easily (I have this on my N5). I've also used a Clarivue Anti-Glare screen protector that was also oleophobic, and while it worked for a while the surface started to rub off and was clearly worn out after several months of use, especially around where the keyboard is.
No oleophobic screen protector is perfect (obviously) and be cautious of those that will wear out after some use. And obviously it reduces the screen quality in some cases. Just food for thought.

I use this. It has oleophobic coat like on gorilla glass, but seems to attract some dust in my pocket unlike non-oleophobic screen protectors..

@gnufabio sorry for the off post but would it be any possibility for you to add the tf101 parts to the op so that we can use them without the server?

I just finished installing a Nillkin H+ Tempered Glass Screen Protector. It also has the oleophobic coating (pretty much all tempered glass screen protectors have it, if they want to be rated 9H) and it seems to be working quite well.
The good thing about this one is it has the nice rounded edges and is ~$25 - $30 cheaper than the Spigen. Spigen is charging way too much for what you get. Their glass screen protectors are not worth $40.
Just read through these though, and decide what is best for you.

Just adding a comment that the Nillkin tempered glass oleophoic coating works quite well for me. I have had it for a couple months now, and no complaints. Basically Stock feel (on glass) and I'd say the coating is better than stock screen.

[Q] Which screen protector

I've received my Oppo Find 7 this week and I'm having some bubbles under the pre-installed screen protector caused by dust particles.
Does anyone have some good advice for buying a well build screen protector?
There are so many marks and price differences that I don't know anymore what to take!
Please help me out guys/girls!
Feel free to post your experiences of your screen protector!

Well, on my past phones, I've always used Ghost Armor or Zagg ones because the eBay cheap plastic ones are just ok. This time, I decided to use the tempered glass screen protector route and I know most people don't like them but it's my favourite now. It's like touching the actual screen. Very smooth and not noticeable. I believe 0.3mm thick. Most people who look at it don't even know it's there.
Anyways, just my opinion. I know there are some who really don't like it.

Where did you buy yours?
Is it hard to install and can you still easily remove it afterwards without any damage?
I've heard that a tempered glass uses adhesive to stick on the screen.

I actually bought it on eBay. I bought 2 different ones from 2 different sellers just to see. They fit perfectly and way easier to install than the regular ones. U just align it and lay the protector down and that's it. It will just smooth out with no bubbles. I removed it easily with no residue or anything and used the other one and it's the same thing. Unless I lucked out but I haven't had any adhesive stuck on my screen at all.

Nillkin 9H is the absolute best screen protector I've ever used.
All of the thin plastic ones are garbage as they affect the apparent image quality.
Purchase the Nillkin glass at any cost; it's absolutely worth it.

I found this and bought with easy installation dubbed smart film, so far so good love it!
MOD EDIT: Link removed. Affiliate links are not permitted

Why not stick with Spigen?
Bubbles only occur if there is dust or particle underneath. I've installed multiple screen protectors flawlessly. If there are bubbles caused by particles, I just use scotch tape and remove it.
Yellowing is very rare. Most standard screen protectors don't use water. It uses static to cling to screen. Only those "shield" require water and even those aren't smooth or clear.
It seems people are into tempered glass now. I just ordered 2 (one for me and the other for wife). I won't get my phone until Saturday. So I'll have the tempered glass and case before I'll have phone.

i am using momax glass sp...very good as it prevent lot of finger prints and smudges

I got the Skinomi glass protector:
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-Tech-...TF8&qid=1406120489&sr=1-1&keywords=g3+skinomi
I had one for my G2 as well. I didn't notice the iCare one; it seems to be half the price, and seem identical from what I can see. You can't even tell it is on, it never scratches (I problem with the plastic films, you eventually get nicks, etc). I had no problems with knock on/off or sensitivity (it has the appropriate cutouts - earlier versions of the G2 one didn't and that caused problems, IIRC). Great investment, you'll likely never need another protector (I had to replace my Spigens every few months on other phones).
For the price difference between the Skinomi and iCare: not sure why. I know if the Skinomi comes with a an alcohol swab and microfiber cloth as well as a large screen-sized sticker for pulling off any dust right before you put on the glass. Not sure if the iCare comes with those, but they were handy. Not sure if they were $6 handy...

I never had an issue with regular screen protectors. I put them on my phones and they last for the 2 years+ until I get a new phone.
Most I paid for the flimsy screen protectors is probably $15 for a 2 pack from reputable brands. This is my first time buying a tempered glass. This may make me buy tempered glass for all my phones in the future.

I bought that same ICarez one a few day ago and to be honest Im happy with my purchase. Its a good fit, no too thick and doesnt effect the screen sensitivity too much. As for fingerprints its the same as the actual screen glass ie fingerprints do get on it but wipe off very easily.

thinking about trying this
http://www.invisiblewaterproofing.com/

Maybe it's cliche but I got the Zagg HD put on mine and it's spot on. The fact that it self-heals is a big help. I also kinda like the slight grip.

I have the Spigen tempered glass on mines. Flawless! I got lucky and lined it perfectly on the first try. It also doesn't bubble up with any case on. The only con is that it's quite expensive, but it performs as advertised so I'm satisfied with it.

yes I guess I have to switch to tempered glass protectors than the usual plastic protectors

I switched from Spigen (plastic) to an iCarez tempered glass. Very, very happy with the results. I had issues with fingerprints with the Spigen, and the tempered glass just feels better.

you got the regular icarez? .33mm? mind putting a picture? thanks

Yes I got the .33 mm Icarez and I tried taking pictures but you really cant see anything in them. Its just basically a glass over it nothing really to see but il post what I can

I ended up buying the tempered glass from the Verizon store (didn't wanna change my phone while I waited for one).
Plays well with my otter box after removing built in screen pro, and my ballistic. Can't even tell it's there. .
Not to mention I seen someone drop a 15lb weight on their phone, and just the tempered broke. Your results may vary, just passing it along.

Still rocking the original screen protector from the factory. In search of the perfect glass protector though.

I'm using Nilkin HD+. Good finger print smudge protection. Case friendly. Only negative is is cut short. About 1 mm gap around. Slight rainbow effect on sides. Good for $10.

The problem is, the film ones don't protect against much. It will protect against light scratches and that's pretty much it.
The glass screen protects against light and heavy scratches and it also protects against screen breaks.

I've never scratched a screen that had a pet film protector on it. The only thing I care about are the scratches. Most of the time when you drop your phone it lands on one of the corners so it doesn't matter if you have a glass protector on or not. I hate the extra thickness of the glass ones and I hate that they crack way too easily. I'd rather spend $1.50 on protectors than $5 or $10 for each one and then have them crack a week or two later.

I ordered the whitestone dome TG to use with the ringke slim and it looks like its either going to be a very tight fit or it wont fit. I dont want to attempt to fit it as il be returning it to amazon

Anyone find a good glass screen protector for the front?

The whitestone ones are not that great. Im going to try with a Hydrogel version

I have been using hydrogel and it's great. I even scratched the screen protector with a tool at work. I thought I had to replace it but a day later it's as good as new. I am very surprised at the self healing.

I am using the Spigen Glas with the Spigen Slim Fit P case and it is sized to fit nicely inside the front raised edges. I really like it for use with Spigen cases. Not sure how it will look with other cases with thinner edged front protectors.

My front and main screen protectors started developing small scratches. I'm too OCD to let that slide so I removed both of them. Much happier now, lol.
