Can Screen Protectors Damage the Oleophobic Coating Screen & Back?

I purchased the Zagg invisible shield... installed the back 1/2, but heard it may damage the Oleophobic coating on the screen. I asked Zagg directly, this is from my conversation with Zagg tech support today.

"We have verified with Apple that it would not. However when installing it, please let the shield dry at least 24 hours before turning the device back on."

I just hate not being able to use the phone for a whole day! I'll update if I ever get the nerve to put it on.

I have used the Zagg invisible shield on every I- phone I have owned,( which is up to 3 now). I put the shield on the back and on the screen and have absolutely no ill effects from it at all. It will not do a thing to your phone at all, other than protect it ! It is a great product. I had to remove it once because I dropped my phone and the shield peeled ever so slightly. Zagg sent me a new one for free and the screen was perfectly fine and like new. Order one and you wont want another phone without it! Dan

The issue is not if the protectors work on the iPhone... they do. However, there is an issue with the new iPhone 3GS because of the oleophobic coating on the glass. This is new on this model. There is concern that protectors with adhesives will affect this coating in a negative way.

I have had mine on since the release date and have had no problems up to this point! I guess time will tell, but for me I would not go without it!
