Default [Q] Screen protector for X2?

Hi all it's me again lol. I wanted to know your guys' recommendations for screen protectors for our wonderful device. I know it's made of gorilla glass and that it's really durable, but I have more of an issue with leaving fingerprints on the screen and not being able to smoothly drag my fingers across the screen and I wanted to know if you guys knew of any screen protectors with more of a matte feel. Thanks!

If you get the anti-glare ones from Verizon, they definitely help. It gives you a matte look and also takes away some of the "prettiness" of the screen. I bought some because my daughter was making my screen filthy, but ended up taking it off.

I bought some Vizio screen cleaner at Walmart and use it every morning. It's supposed to protect as well as clean, and I've noticed a difference in the amount of smudges everyday.

i got the only matte one they offered in the Verizon store

despite a big ugly gouge at the bottom-left that i could have complained about when the employee put it on it's super awesome

if it takes from the prettiness of the screen, then my eyes are in ruins.

honestly if you've ever applied a slight blur filter to really colorful objects(aka ANIME LIKE), then you'd see it actually does favor

that and, no-1 likes to clean smudges/have their finger get caught when trying to drag across the screen, really annoying, good riddance smudges + glass finger hold

I bought some 3 pack on amazon for $0.69. Seems to work as good as the $10 ones at the store.

I Have The Clear One From Verizon. It Is Really Nice And Fingerprints Come Off Easily. Only Thing Wrong Is That The Verizon Rep Placed It On Crooked, But It Doesn't Really Matter Because Only A Slither Is Uncovered...That And The Face That I Am Lazy.

I'm on the fence with the whole screen protector thing, too ...

I put a ZAGG on my old HTC HD2 Leo, and had one of the mall kiosk guys put one on my wife's Incredible, but I couldn't get over the change in tactile feel and (what I perceived as) the loss in sharpness.

I dropped my DX2 for the first time last night and thank God it was in a decent case. The phone was unmolested - as was the case (a Yoobao plastic/rubber number that fits over the super extended battery) - but I practically had a coronary. I can only imagine if something had hit the screen on the way down to the concrete ...

Does anyone have personal experience with a screen protector actually protecting the screen from impact? Or do they more or less prevent some of those niggling scratches that inevitably plague the screen over time?
