Can someone tell me which film is better the Anti-Glare or the HD clear? I ordered the HD Clear because to be truthfull I didn't see the Anti-Glare. I know the HD Clear looks just like glass but does show some fingerprints. So maybe the Anti-Glare...

Hi, there, I got the clear and I'm very pleased with it. Great clarity and after all, I'd have fingerprints if I didn't have a protector at all. I wanted to preserve the bright colors. Enjoy!

Hello Craig, I bought the standard ones because I like the shiny look.I have used anti glare before and it seems OK.it does seem like you lose a little definition if you do use anti glare. If you are using it in a really bright area all the time then I'd say get it.otherwise I'd prefer the standard.

I use the clear protector. I felt like the matte might detract in certain lighting situations. It's been a solid screen protector, either way you go.

Hello Marc Klein, All iLLumiShield screen protectors are made of durable film that is anti bubble and fingerprint. However, this particular one is for the ultra clear, which help reduce glare but are not exactly anti glare. iLLumiShield does case an anti glare (matte) version which you may be interested in. The matte has anti glare, bubble and fingerprint capabilities. We hope this helps, please feel free to contact us if you have further questions or concerns. We would like to do all we can to help. Thank You, Claudia, Talkie Tech, Inc.

This is matte. Which I'm torn on. I see lines in the screen in totally black areas which bug me. But on prints it's not there so I'm getting used to it. I do like that I never have any glare so there are pluses and minuses to it. Over all I love this computer! It's amazing!

Thanks for writing, first and foremost I would like to tell you that I first purchased the HD high Defintion version which I loved, however it got dirty too fast and was glary, then I ordered the anti finger print version which looks cloudy at first but dont be alarmed it is very clear when you put it on and I feel it has a bit more thickness to it for more protection. Now as far as putting it on it is very easy to place on the screen once you have read instructions and perhaps watched the video, please make sure you clean the surface of your device or wipe it down with a damp not wet cloth or napkin like a lens cleaner and then place it on accordingly to instructions. If anything goes wrong Tech Armor does stand by their product, just take your time and if ou get one or two minor bubbles which may happen as it did to me at first it some how irones itself out if you go over it with a credit card like card board which the item comes with, Please write if any other questions, I ll try to help you the best I can, also it has life time warranty. Thank You.

I had such a hard time putting the screen protector on that I just gave up. I told the seller about the difficulty and they said they would send me another one but as of yet I have not gotten it. But to answer your question, I am debating about not using for the exact reason you are concerned about. I do think it may affect the HD clarity but I can't say that as fact - just using my common sense... it is a matte screen - it will have some affect, I'm not just sure how much. Hope this helps some.

Hey Edive88,Thanks for your interest in iSmooth! The matte finish is oil resistant, and will certainly cut back on glare. At this time, it is only available for the S4. The ultra clear finish is HD quality and is just like using the bare screen. It is not smudge resistant, but it does make for an easy clean up. =)Hope this answers your question!KyleeiSmooth Customer Service

It doesn't state that it is anti-glare. When you apply it you can't tell that you have it on. It looks just like your original screen but I have not had any kind of glare issues with it at all.

This one is not matte/anti-glare - this is the glossy one. I prefer the clear, glossy ones because I will need to set the display brighter since the matte film blocks part of the light and I cannot read/see from the display that well, resulting in faster drain of my battery - *just from experience*

That's hard to say, because it's all really subjective. Honestly, I wouldn't believe anyone that said their product is smudge free because that's never true. I can smudge anything that claims to be smudge free. Haha! As far as the HD protector being more crisp/clear, I would say that's subjective too because not all people have the same eyes. But on a serious note, I only purchased this product because as a screen protector, I know it works. The iphone has been dropped from a height about 3 - 4 feet, several times now since the purchase, and it has held up.

I wouldn't say 'ruin'. It probably does affect it slightly as it has a slight texture. I don't watch movies or videos on my phone that often, and when I do it annoys me a lot if I can see my reflection in the screen during parts of the movie/video. So for me, the non-glare aspect is preferable to the super-clear HD. I watched part of a movie on it before I answered you; it looks okay but there is a texture to the protector so probably if you watch a lot of stuff on your phone you might not like it - you'd probably be better off with a super-clear protector. Glare and fingerprints bother me more than the little bit of texture. I wouldn't say 'ruin'. It probably does affect it slightly as it has a slight texture.

I was having the same problem. The anti glare didn't stop the glare completely but it is greatly improved. I don't regret mine.

Best for photography would be the HD clear. However, all of them, with the exception of the anti-glare, would offer as close to true color and minimize distortion. For the stylus pen, all of them would work fine. Best impact resistance would be, hands down the ballistic glass. It's tempered glass, which I use on my phone, and have given demonstrations with using the pointy end of a key. Doesn't leave a scratch.

I purchased this item and am very happy with it. The glare is not an issue for me. I do not have or need non-glare film, but its touch is sensitive, and I believe the film would work fine. It has best clarity of any of my 7-8 monitors.

Honestly I don't watch movies with the phone so I havent noticed. Im sure the hd would be better without the armor, but I am happier with the protection. All in all, I dont find fault in the anti-glare version.

I would order the clear one if you want it to look as if there is nothing on the screen. The matte finish - the one I purchased - is definitely visible in my opinion.
