I had a cheap adhesive screen protector on my 3GS for about 3 weeks, I took it off and there was no damage to the oleophibic screen whatsoever. I must say I do prefer the the phone without a screen protector, but as others have mentioned it's down the piece of mind.
That's what I'll like to ask too, "Will I harm the Oleophobic coating on my 3GS if I install a screen protector film?"
Mine has been naked for a month now, like it that way but yeah, my mind's not at peace cos I'm afterall a careless person. I've got a flip case but still, I'm conscious about my naked phone, especially when it's hot or when I'm nervous and my fingers get sweaty and the screen feels grainy (am I damaging the screen when it gets grainy and sticky?)..
Does Power Support Anti-Glare screen protector shift like what some say? If I apply it and 1 day, decides to remove it, will the screen be damaged in any way?
My very first iPhone was returned because the screen coating wore off after just a few weeks. The owners manual does say that it will eventually wear off.
I've just returned from buying a pack of the Power Support Anti Glare screen protectors but havne't tried them yet. A few people have said that they had a problem where they moved a bit but I don't see how that is possible.
I had some cheap $7 screen protectors that I bought at Wal-Mart that didn't move at all but they didn't resist smudges and finger prints so I didn't like them. Hopefully the Power Support will work out.
I bought the Power Support Crystal protectors from the Apple store and have them on my original iPhone and two new 3gs. They are easy to put on and stay put. They wipe clean with any kind of cloth and do not scratch. I had the same protector in the anti-glare version on my original phone for a year and a half and it was like new.
Im using power support right now both crystal and anti-glare...depend what im in the mood for...no problems...i also tried cheaper ones and its ok...
Funny thing is i also used ZAGG screen shield...its also ok, but you peel it off it just comes right out and it didt feel that it was sticking to the screen
I just applied the power support anti glare films to my iPhone and I am seriously happy with them! They really do resist fingerprints and smudges and they were easy to apply. I'm going to enjoy not having to wipe the screen every time I want to use it. They are $14 for two and I feel it well worth the price now.
I also tried to slide the film around once it was applied and it only moved the slightest bit so that I could align the holes a bit better.
