Well I dunno the boxwave just seemed almost sticky to me. Its all personal preference I suppose but I don't have any dirt build up or peeling after 2 months.
Best screen protector?

Amazon also sells that same 2-pack for $11 bucks. And if you choose their Prime account (think that's what it's called) for the 14-day trial, you get 2 day FREE shipping. And yes, it comes in 2 days. Just make sure to go back and uncheck the option of auto-charge your account after the trial.

I like the idea of these screen protectors but I am having an issue. I had both Zagg and Stealth Guard on, and with each one, the front began to peel when I put it in my leather holster or tried to put on my case.
Anyone else have these issues?

I just ordered the Seidio Ultimate Screen Guard from Amazon. I have used Zagg in the past and I quickly get over the orange peel and tackiness of the protector. I am excited to try the Seidio because of the reported feel you get from it.

Okay so I got the Seidio's in the mail and finally got a chance to use one front only screen protector. (My original Skinomi from day 1 finally got an unbearable blemish across it, before I was living with some fingernail dents caused by playing HR Derby too much).
It was easy to apply. I caused one little scratch by using the card that came with to smooth bubbles. Can only see it with white only screen.
Now with it on and used for a day, I notice it gets quite fingerprinting, and two small lift ups that look like half bubbles are appearing on edge (maybe I didn't smooth edges enough). All else is good. Clear, smooth and repsonsive.
Will see how long I can keep this on without major marks that cause me to replace.
My skinomi went from about 6/14 to 8/31. Right now I would be willing to go back to them.

If fingerprints are a problem you can try this one:
SGP Steinheil Anti-Fingerprint Screen Protector for HTC Evo 4G (Sprint)
I'm seriously considering getting this. I have the Seidio Ultimate Screen Guard and I agree that fingerprints are crazy, but the feel is awesome and so is the protection.

Zagg is not as good as they advertise. I've had 3 of them, at $14.95 each. I have taken each one off due to post application bubbles. I am experienced at this application. I've done window tint and wallpaper which is essentially the same process.
I found on eBay for $1.00 each, "XtremeGUARD Premium Screen Protector". This product is amazing!!! And for only $1.00 each!! The application is the same for all other screen protectors. I show my phone to my friends and co-workers and they cannot believe there is a screen protector on it. It's as smooth as the glass itself! I love this product.

UPDATE: WELL, Seidio was in pocket with zippo lighter and the protector got all abrasions on it? I guess it did its job, but I gotta wonder why it damaged so easily.
Applied second Seidio one and it came up at the ends within a day. I am out on Seidio. Called Customer Service and they gave me a hard time as well.
My Boxwave just got a good scratch on it, but it did protect the screen with no problems. I now have to replace it. The only thing I didn't like about the Boxwave was that it fit seemed just a little big, especially if you use an Innocase or and other case like an Innocase. To put it on you had to be exact. I just ordered the new Otterbox which comes with a screen protector included, but really don't know how good the screen protector is. I had the Boxwave crystal clear version, not antiglare. Should I get an anti-glare or stick with the crystal clear? I don't like the water type screen protectors. Is there another brand out there like Boxwave, but not as tight a fit?
That is the one downfall of the dry application type screen protectors, they do scratch. I'm in construction, so I beat them up pretty good, but I would rather replace them once in a while then deal with the stickiness of wet applications. Stick with the crystal, the anti glare is not as nice as far as I'm concerned. I, personally, love the fact that the Boxwave is the exact same size as the screen.

Seidio customer service
after several attempts with seidio customer service i realized that the bottom line is they will not give a replacement or reimbursement without a huge runaround. I will never purchase from them again!!!!

I just put the bodyguardz anti glare on my phone and I love it. I had a few little tiny bubbles on the bottom edge that I could not for the life of me get out, but my case covers them. The feel and fit are good.
My only complaint is that they don't come with any way to clean the screen. You literally only get the screen protectors. I already have all the microfiber cloths I need so for me it wasn't an issue but for some people I can see it being a problem.
EDIT: This is my first anti-glare screen protector but I think I will only get anti-glare from now on. They don't attract as many finger prints.

Trying Boxwave Crystal Clear right now. So far so good. Easy install, smooth scrolling, little fingerprinting but AOK.
Tried a Seidio again, and again got little circles with a white dot in several places which is probably from their cleaning cloth. Took off immediately and threw away.

Was a PITA to install,but the zaggs been great so far,love that tacky feel to the touch,best screen protector I've ever had personally.
I got the otterbox commuter about two weeks ago and have been using the screen protector that came with it. Installing it was a breeze and not one air bubble, which is nice. Anyways two weeks and it has no scratches and is just as smooth and clear as the glass itself. Thumbs up. It's not the best I'm sure but it's pretty good and was included with the case anyways.
Is the screen protector clear, antiglare, oleophobic? And would a regular screen protector work with the otterbox case?
