it loks like it is a smokey color. Does it make the screen darker?

They make it look smokey to show that it's the matte and not clear. I highly recommend the anti glare to the clear b/c the clear scratches within a few days do application and the matte last for months at a time. I ordered clear screen protectors and I had to change them on a weekly-biweekly basis due to scratches. Always go with matte. And you can get the ones for the Verizon/Metro PCS or European version for a T-Mobile phone and vice versa

I've had mine now for several months and haven't seen much on this. I did notice in the upper corner a slight burn but odd as it is, it went away. So my screen is perfectly fine. However, I only use mine for my studies in Grad school so usually only have up email, word docs, PDFs, etc. Nothing to intensive on the screen, plus it is set to hibernate every ten minutes off activity. Hope this helps, a lot of this will depend on your usage, how you have the screen settings etc.

The screen is dark brown...while the screen color would coordinate well with cherry, it would not be a match if you are looking for an exact color match up.

MINE DOES THE SAME THING!!! I was wondering if it was defective as well. The whole screen is very dark even with nothing on it and when you write on it, it starts getting lighter and lighter. I think I may call the company to see what the deal is. Our regular magna doodle doesnt do this.

Both the screen and decorative metal have an elegant black. What mean is that the black does not shine and if you look closely it has a subtle brown tone to it. It made our fireplace look a lot better than before. I hope my comments prove to be helpful.

I have not noticed any at all. I know what you mean, a friend has a similar one and it does leave 3 grease or dust stripes on the screen. I have an anti glare protector on my screen also so maybe that helps?

It works very well but it is a bit dark so I have to set my screen on the brightest setting.

I can't answer David's question, but I have one of my own. From day one I have never had a clear picture. There are lines moving through the screen all the time. The darker the back ground the worse the lines are. Thanks

no we received ours and the screen was white then turn black . Then the seller would not return it so we could get our money back.

If you meant IPS display, then, no, this is not an IPS display and looking from significantly sideways of the screen would show darkening. I don't like the non-IPS display but it is not a huge problem for me. I often use this in the stand mode which brings the screen closer to the face and so the non IPS not an issue for me.

I wouldnt say it ruins it since the screen is still Hd quality and you can tell that. It kind of like wheb you have that thin sheet of plastic on a new electronic. Its hard to tell its there but you can see the refraction of the light from the screen which gives it a textured looo. It honestly doesn't bother me when I watch vids or anyone else that sees vids on it and the benefits from it Trumps any minor loss of clarity

If you fins something please let me know. The contrast of the screen is terrible!!!

It is visible. It has to be in order to be anti-glare. But I wouldn't say it ruins the HD aspects of the screen. Think of a very light window tint on a car window...can you tell it's there? Sure. Does it "ruin" your view of the outside? No.The change is so very minor that it really doesn't make what I consider a noticeable difference...until you go outside in bright sunlight and are actually able to see your screen.Any small degradation of the sharpness and vibrancy of the screen is much more than offset by the ability to actually see the phone in bright lighting conditions.

The smoke back has some transparency, although on the black iPhone it looks black from many angles. When looking at it direction however without glare you can see the Apple logo and the iPhone information etched in the back. Overall, it is the best cover product I have owned.

To be honest, I'm not too sure. I can tell you that when I put my screen cover on, I did notice the screen having a slight fog filter to it. That probably has to with the anti glare part.

No it doesn't. However, the color of the protector will be affected due to fluffs in the pockets. It will still look clear but a little bit darker. Nothing that will affect how you screen looks or performs.
