Default [Q] Fingerprint-Proof Screen protector

I have been looking for oil-resistant screen protectors for this phone all over the internet. Do any of you have one that is oil resistant but CLEAR?

Because I used Steinheil Fingerprint Proof and it really affected the vision (it's a matte material :S? no idea). Is it possible for there to be a screen protector that is fingerprint free AND clear?

I just bought a "5pcs Clear LCD Screen Protectors For Motorola XT720 701" off ebay.

It says its Fingerprint Free, but I don't know if I could trust that. Because I got a screen protector from HK saying it reduces fingerprints, but it still had oil stains.

So, any Fingerprint resistant AND clear screen protectors that people can recommend?

Screen protectors are worse than fingerprints. I used some of the best in the market like zagg and bodyguardz. They are clear in the start but slowly accumulate scratches and imperfections and decolourize ruining your viewing experience. Not to mention they too attract fingerprints. I removed my zagg after 4 months and I enjoy my phone ten times more. Just wipe it on your shirt when it gets a lil dirty. Besides fingerprints dont show up when the screen is on anyways. Its only when the screen is off that you notice them.

Our XT720's screen is made of Gorilla Glass, which is very hard and scratch proof. So, unless you'd like an anti-glare (another word for matte) protector, you won't need clear or whatever. As Sorhab said, screen protectors are made of plastic and can easily be scratched.

Only matte screen protectors are fingerprint free. Even that, you still need to wipe it with mild soap-liquid at least once a month to clear.

i was afraid of that, because Matte traps light in AND out. so on a bright day, the screen is less bright, and the sunlight is trapped inside, giving off a generally hard to see screen.

I'm a bit of a clean screen freak. Ive been using no screen protector for a few days and I always end up having to wipe it alot. Everything is a lot clearer though.

I guess there really is no hope. If I want oil-free, then I have to sacrifice clarity and brightness right

Go without the screen protector, our XT720's have one of the most beautiful screens and resolution. Overtime youll come to notice them less. Its only when we buy something new that we are anal about cleanliness
