Default Screen protectors - which ones are best?

I have used 2 screen protectors so far, and i am not happy with either one. Scrolling with one is an issue and fingerprints for the other. What have you used and like the best?

The InvisibleSHEILD will not scratch, and it is impossible to tear (I tried their "Pen Test" on one I removed from my old phone)

It's self healing and scratches, bubbles, imperfections litterally disappear over a few days or so.

It is one of the few (and I mean few) products that does truly live up to it's claimed hype.

Ultimate Screen Guard

Seidio's ultimate screen guard

Got it in the mail today, heard so many complaints about other products having bubbles etc, I was worried.

Well this sucker went on in 3 seconds, it just sucked right to the screen with zero bubbles, and it great. Can't tell it's on there

This one has had great reviews too. It goes on without liquid, and it is static, not sticky.

Not sure about the toughness, haven't heard anything on that.

Resurrecting this thread, I have a question for everyone.

Ive had my VZW protector on for months. I need to replace it. So I need your opinions.

Storm or otherwise.

a. What protector is worth ordering? (I like being able to pick stuff up in stores)
b. How often do you replace your protector?

Rellims Olta recommended these so I bought them and I must say they are probably the I have used to date. They are a little bigger of course so you have to do some cutting. But I also took her suggestion and left the sides a little longer and they cover the space between the phone and the screen nicely

I was hoping for an overwhelming consensus.

I used invisible shield total protection for about a month before i decided that the screen part was just too sticky.
so I kept the rest of it on and replaced the screen with ghost armor which works great.
It is so smooth when scrolling through the different things I do every day.

The rest of the phone (with IS) has held up fairly well for a total of 9 months except for one of the sides has started to peel in the past couple days. I.S. is under a lifetime warranty so it's not the end of the world.

Cheap or expensive protectors are a great item to have on your phone.

Debating on getting an Innocase 360. That looks like a nice way to protect the screen. Anybody got one?

Yup--Seidio is the best I've found. Invisible Shield is very durable (the Seidio is no less so), but the feel is not as good for the touch screen to my fat fingers--a bit 'sticky'. Both our (grown) kidz have Storms, too, and both are using the Seidio screen saver (and cases).
