Default [Q] Best matt screen protector?

Just taken my Zagg off and replaced it with a Martin Fields. Both of which are rubbish in their different ways.

Had a matt cover on my old iPhone and was seeing if anyone could recommend 1 for the DHD?

Ideally from a UK website if possible as I want to get this finger smudge magnet off ASAP!

I bought SGP matte and I love the absense of fingerprints an oil from my fingers as well as the anti-glare effect. I didn't have the chance to compare the loss of colour. No bubbles and very nice fit.

However, it is very expensive and they ask too much for delivery. Support and communication is also very poor. I never received any reply or order confirmation and I was about to open a Paypal claim against them because they never responded to my emails.

The choice is yours now.

i used brando antiglare screen protector , was really good, no smudges , no prints, really slick for swyping but , the distorion and that "dotted rainbow effect" on the screen was hugly noticable and it annoyed me after a while that i had to remove it now.

would love any recommendation for a matt protector with minimal screen colors loss

Nope, rainbow effect is due to oil residue from your fingers that will mostly affect glossy protectors. I had it with my older HTC protector but not now.

I' not sure I clearly understand the meaning of grainy look but from what I assume it is, I would say that this grainy look is what makes the protector matte, otherwise it would be glossy. They say that this fades colours but I didn't notice anything to disturb me but maybe it does indeeed.

It would be nice if I could have one matte and one glossy just to compare.

yeah i understand mate , had the same doubts at the beginning , but its easily noticeable specially if u take off the protector and see how shiny and clear the screen is (which is what i did,but i dont like the way the screen feels now, sticky and annoying me with games,swype,flicking around..etc )
