Little update here as promised; so I replaced the VZW clear protector and put on the Realook one..I must say I am very happy!
The level of clarity between the 2 with the screen on isn't tremendous but it is enough to where everything looks a bit more crisp and some of the vividness/contrast is better preserved with the Realook protector. Naked is better, but I feel this is probably the most clear it's gonna get while being protected. The feel between the 2 is pretty similar but so far the Realook seems to keep it glass like texture better than the VZW one as it doesn't get dirty near as quick. (see below)
Other likes;
It covers the entire front of the phone so someone who wouldn't know otherwise would never be able to tell there is a protector on it (this does make it a female dog to install but it's worth the hassle IMHO..keep scotch tape handy because you might need a lot of it) So far I haven't found any issues with the front camera (not that I use it much anyway) or the light sensor. I did not apply the little screen protector for the rear camera as I am afraid it will cause hazy pics and I never had issues with a lens scratching. (May have jinxed myself now)
And the biggest like; I don't know if some folks who complain about fingerprints on Amazon etc put it on the wrong way or something but thus far the Oleophobic feature seems to do its job amazingly well. Granted, the VZW protector was an absolute fingerprint nightmare but the Realook one does indeed appear to reduce fingerprints by a ton--->Sweet!
To sum it up; the folks that compared this to the more expensive Steinheil ones were right. In the future I'll look for these again for my next device.
Thanks again for all the input folks!
