Anyone here not have a screen protector

I now just smear my oily fingerprints around the screen. Mmm. Clear.

Thinking of picking up a protector just to get rid of fingerprints. Oh to feel brave enough to wipe the screen on my jeans!
My screen is going nowhere near my jeans... cold weather means more often than not I'm in a fleece, much softer :D

Still, I've got some nice optical wipes if I get a proper 'orrible smear heh

Although the paranoia in me always wants my valuables to be more protected... the youtube video posted by Fastmhz (thank you) let me know I have nothing to fear.

Plus putting a screen protector on will kill the whole idea behind the anti oil coating on the screen so you screen protector wont look as nice.

I think it's anti-anti-oil coating!:p fwiw, I tried a zagg and didn't like the rubber feel so I ditched it. I tried a Seidio Ultimate Screen guard and had a few issues with that as well so I'm back to naked for now. I got one from dcmugen on the way though. The fingerprints drive me crazy so I'm hoping his will help. If not, I don't know Martin Fields, Clarivue.....

As in, glasses cloth of the silky smooth variety? I have one but it's still just smearing it everywhere.


A specsavers special :D

It would depend on the cloth. Quite often your cloths can pick up oil and crap from your glasses / the screen and need washing or replacing. I know my dad's lense cloths get filthy and just smear grease all over my lenses.

Mine normally have a small amount of lense cleaner solution that I use to clean my specs still on them.
