Swirl marks on iphone screen

hey guys I had a quick question. I bought a case that comes with little plastic clear peice that goes over the screen of my phone. Ever since I had , it create swirl marks on my screen. Even though they are not on the actual screen itself it's still annoying and looks tacky with these swirl/cloudy marks on my screen. Does anyone know why it does this or what to reccomend as a scren protector that doesn't show these swirly marks or finger prints? Thanks

I also get the swirly marks occasionally with the clear protector on my screen

For me it only seems to happen when i am in a humid building and my phone has been in my pocket, when the scren gets warm (ie against your leg in a pocket) it causes this effect

I thought it was a faulty screen protector so i bought another and got the same problem

Before the screen protector goes on, make sure the screen is as clean as possible. Also make sure your hands are clean and that you only handle the screen protector from the edges to minimize any fingerprints on the underside of the screen protector.

I too had the same problem when i used the plastic piece that came with my protective case. I had to clean it everyday. The marks happen as moisture gets under the screen and forms those ugly looking patches. You cant avoid them.

The best solution is and this is also what i did. Get the anti-glare protection pieces that are sold for the iphone. The advantage with those are that they can be applied once and it will stay there. It resists finger prints, smudges and keeps your iphone screen clean. Though you might notice that the screen is not so bright due to the anti-glare technology, it is the best screen protector available for the iphone.
