Question Anti-Fingerprint

One of my biggest issues with my evo right now is the vast amount of oil it collects.
I have to clean it at least 3-4 times a day! ****ing terrible compared to oleophobic-coated alternatives.

What can I do?
Can anybody offer a good screen protector that doubles as an anti-fingerprint apparatus (word-choice fail) lol.
It is VERY important that my finger still slides on it.
Rubbery-feel is not gonna make me a happy camper.
So the 3 things i'm looking for are durable (enough), anti-fingerprint, and smooooth.
Thanks guys
Will take everything into consideration.

Phantom skinz is what you need. Not rubbery and hides greasy finger prints.

I'll look into it.
Another thing i nearly forgot to mention.. which should already be implied.
Clarity and optical transparency are another big thing..

Also I have 50% off of any zagg product. How are their screen protectors for this purpose?

Get ghost armor screen protector. Other than the fact that I put it on just a lil off its amazing. Damn near no fingerprints build up on it.
and with one wipe everything is gone. I highly recommend it

+1 for Handhelditems Anti-Glare screen protectors.

3-pack for $9.99 with discount code off the net. Provides good screen protection while maintaining smoothness. Another good thing is that it never collects dirt of grime

Glare isnt a huge issue for me.
Currently i can see enough to get by in sunlight.

So which one is it guys? Is there any protector binded with an oleophobic coat?
Also, again, are the zaggs for the screen recommended?
If it's all the same then I might as well use my 50% off code and get a zagg.

Thanks for the input.

Have you looked into the SGP oleophobic one they sell? Last time I checked, zagg has a rubbery feel which you said you wanted to avoid. Not sure if that's what you need.

I tried their anti-fingerprint one and it makes a huge difference to the appearance of the screen in a bad way.

o_O I just give it a quick swipe with the side of my palm or on my pants and any fingerprints that were there are gone (no different from the Hero which, I believe, had an oleophobic coating)
