Default Anyone use Verizon's Anti-Glare Display Protectors?

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/s...essoryId=46245

Anyone used this? Does it work to hide your screen from onlookers? Does it degrade the screen quality when viewed straight on?

Thanks for any input!

I bought it because the bodyguardz kiosk did not have the DX in stock yet. The Verizon screen doesnt cover the entire glass top. It only covers where the picture is actually displayed. It's not a security screen so it doesn't block onlookers. The anti-glare doesnt really work that well and I can't really tell you want the screen looked like before since I put it on immediately after receiving my phone. The screen is more of a plastic protector where as bodyguardz is more of a softer film. I know Verizon's screen protectors can get scratched but bodyguardz will leave imprints if you push a nail or key into it. It's really personal choice on what kind of screen protector you like but if you have a bodyguardz kiosk they will replace it on the spot for you since it is a lifetime warranty.

it doesn't hide your screen from onlookers, its just a typical screen protector to protect the screen from unwanted scratches, etc, once you place it on tho, scrolls not as fluid as without the screen protector on.

I have the Verizon ones on my phone and they suck.
They make that beautiful screen look like crap, they attracked more fingerprints than the screen itself and they only protect part of the screen.

As soon as I can get some bodyguardz or any of the other manufacturers brands I'm going to get one and replace it.

The Verizon screen protectors are terrible to say the least. The seriously impact image quality.

I have the Verizon one on and I doesn't seem to mess up the image up at all like the others are saying.

I'm using one, It doesn't seem it impact the image quality for me.

I've ordered a SGP Ultra Crystal Steinheil Film simply because it covers all of the glass, where the Verizon covers the area that you interact with, but leaves the "Motorola" at the top and the "Verizon" at the bottom uncovered.

I didn't buy the verizon one because I know someone that bought it for their HTC Incredible and it was pretty bad. It really took away from the nice screen and was quite a fingerprint magnet. I referred her to the Zagg screens and she couldn't believe the difference.

My Zagg screen should be in any day now...

I bought a pack of them but did not install them right away, they helped a lot for glare when using the car dock during the day and did not seem to really impair the screen visibility.

Bought and installed. Definitely helps with glare but does seem to degrade clarity a bit. As for tactile feel I would say it's better than glass alone. I find the glass to b a major fingerprint attractor. But I will probably replace with something better but what?
