i bought the iVisor from the store. works great on fingerprints & glare, but kinda dulls the screen. definite loss of clarity.

took it off at lunch today w/ the plan to return it...

then put it back on, and don't mind it as much.

dunno.

DONATE TO ME
I got it and I can definitely agree with argylesocks on the clarity issue. To me though, losing a bit of clarity in favor of anti-glare doesn't bother me so I'd recommend that if you don't mind losing a little bit of clarity then grab the one from the ATT store.

i got the ivisor after i ntices a micro scratch on my screen. garilla glass is hard to scratch but i work around stuff that can cut hardened tool steel. occasionally something winds up in my pocket.

the ivisor is one of the better antiglare protectors i have seen but in general antiglare will effect the screen image. well it is a trade off. some can deal with it and some cant. there are many that are worse than this one. i would recomend it to anyone that wants a anti glare protector.

that dont mean it cant be scratched. i never scratched my captivate and i had it since august, but i did get a micro scratch on the infuse already, just got unlucky. it is barely visable but i know it is there. garilla glass vs hss and carbide doesnt help much. most people wont need a protector though

I went ahead and got the screen protector they had at at&t when I get my Infuse, in fact it was given to me free of charge because I switched from T-Mobile. I was going to get the invisible shield but this was much more convenient and free. And besides, I just like that piece of mind that I know my screen won't get scratched even though it has gorilla glass.

I got the att branded (case-mate) screen protector and hate it. It's matte surface and just looks terrible, takes away from the beauty of the screen. I'm going out to BB and another att store later to see if I can find any glossy screen protectors, otherwise I'm just gonna take this thing off.
