Can Screen Protectors Damage the Oleophobic Coating Screen & Back?

I'm not sure, but I already saw that ZAGG is advertising a screen protector for the 3GS. I'll have to look into this, because I'm interested in it as well.

Apple isntalled my screen protector themselves. As long as you are using a static cling method asa opposed to adhesive, there shouldn't be an issue

I called the company that makes the Crystal line of protectors and they said they have tested with the 3G S and it has no problems

One of the biggest reasons why I don't even want to put a cover on the iPhone is because I just absolutely love the feel of the iPhone itselft, especially the new Oleophobic screen. I'll be waiting to hear back from all of you, especially those that purchased the ZAGG protector.

I put the one that came with the GRIFFIN 'CLARIFI'

I just don't want to get it scratched and greasy...

So I'm ok to use the Crystal Film with the 3GS or not?

I've always used the Power Support Anti-Glare screen protector from 2G to 3GS and have had no issues, when I take off the protectors to add a new one the original screen is shiny and beautiful.

Yes, so have I - with my 3G. The point is, the 3GS has a new coating on the screen they say - is that accurate? If so, is it safe to use a screen protector or not with the 3GS?

I've been using the Crystal Film protector for 3 days now with no issues. Sticks just fine. Although theybsay it has an oelophobic coating, I would be crushed if I scratched my screen.

Anyone familiar with the anti-static shields SwitchEasy includeds with their cases? I'm wondering if I can use it or if I better not? They do have a tacky backing, almost like a post-it note.

i contacted apple tech support and asked them the same question. The lady said apple does not recommend any screen protector as it has a oleophobic coating. She however strongly recommended using a case for the iphone to protect aginst damage in case of any accidental drop from our hand.

I have the iPhone 3GS and yesterday bought the static-cling "Crystal Film" version sold at the Apple Store made by Power Support (they sell 2 versions, matte or crystal). I too was worried about he oleophobic coating, but was guaranteed by the Apple employees that this type of protector is idea because it does not use adhesive. And they are right. It slides right on, it is totally invisible and is sturdy and secure. I highly recommend this brand. When I tell you it's invisible, it really is! Best screen protector I've ever had, and it won't mess with the screen coating.
