I apologize in advance for posting yet another screen protector thread, however I have a specific issue that I wanted to get some input on.

One of my favorite features of the iPhone 4 is the clear, crisp display. I bought a 3 pack of the iFrogz anti-glare screen protectors for the iPhone 4. After applying the screen protector, I noticed the screen appeared grainy, dull and pixelated. This distortion was even more obvious when I placed my phone beside my wife's phone w/o a protector. In fact, my screen resembled by iPhone 3g.

I read that the anti-glare and anti-smudge protectors will have this effect and that a clear protector will not. Has anyone else noticed this problem? Do you have any suggestions as to what brand and/or type of protector I can purchase that will not cause this problem?

Thanks! :)

PS:Another gripe about the iFrogz protector is that the cut leave open areas around the earpiece and beneath the button. This was in and of itself extremely annoying.

This is exactly why I'm waiting till I can get a PowerSupport Crystal - had them on my last 2 iPhones and I've applied them to all my friends as well.
Whenever my iPhone is next to someones who have a different screen protector on you can see the difference every time.

I bought a case that came with a free anti glare screen protector and yes it does kinda a make the screen a lil fuzzy. The main concern though with these screen protectors is i hope the all take into consideration the front facing camera because the one I got (although ita only temporary till my bse skin gets here lol) covers the camera and when activated everything looks relly blurry throught it.

the griffin kit partially covers the front cam and the home button but worst still the static stick didn't work so after careful application the bloody thing slid off in about 10 mins !!

Waiting for PowerCrystal as well. I had it on my 3Gs and it is the best screen protector I've used to date.

I have a temporary body guard I paid $9.99 for the time being. I hate it!! When is Power going to start selling their protector? It's still showing as preorder.

I exchanged emails with them yesterday and July 26 is the date they told me!!!
I've since been on the Boxwave.com site, got my FREE iPhone4 case and also ordered their own Boxwave Crystal protector as I've used them before and they were good.
