Does the UltraClear film get hazy/cloudy with finger oil? (NOT asking about the MATTE version)
1609624
No. No it doesn't. At least nothing that stands out to me and that sounds like something that would annoy me. Most of the time I forget it's even there. When I first put it on I could notice a bit of a difference in the texture, almost like it was a little more grippy, not quite as smooth, but I don't even notice that anymore. The protector doesn't show any more fingerprints than the glass itself did.

I've been using for a while, and my immediate answer is "no." Unless your hands are really dirty, I rarely see any finger or fingerprint marks on the film. It all comes down to how much oil your hands produce, as some may have more oily hands than others. But it has been really clean for me, so I'd definitely say that it's not something you have to worry about.

Yes, it does, but not unlike the screen itself. However, it's very easy to wipe crystal clear via cloth, tshirt, swipe on the leg of your pants, or whatever is handy.

hmm... I'm looking it at it right now and it is a bit dirty so I would have to say yes, BUT not more than the screen itself did before I put the protector on. So it's really about the same. I have seen others that look really bad, and even feel almost sticky when you touch it. This one is not like that. Hope this helps!

I have one on my phone the matted one. Ir keeps the sunlight out. But still get finger prints on it. I like it though

It stays very clear unless you touch the adhesive before applying. The finger prints will show through. Otherwise very clear.

In my opinion, no. I say that b/c if you put one on your screen colors will not be as vibrant and the touch sensitivity may go down. Yes you will have finger smudge marks on the screen but I have been using mine now for about 3 months now and it is not all that bad.

sorry, that sounds like mold to me...avocado oil can be cloudy with cold temps but it would be throughout, not settled.

I would say yes, it gets pretty finger-oily during a day's use. It's most noticeable, of course, when the screen is off. It generally isn't too noticeable when the screen is on. And as I mentioned in the review, I don't have any frame of reference to compare it vs. other screen protectors, since this is my first smartphone, so I can't say if it is any better or worse than any other screen protector. I usually wipe down the screen every morning so I can at least start off with a clean screen.

Yes. But in my case it isn't even and in the center of my screen there is an small area where the two touch and it looks like a drip. It has no negative effect on the touch screen performance but the image quality is slightly affected. The small area in the center of my screen where there is no air gap is brighter.

I have the HD version which is very clear and I would definitely recommend it. I can't even tell the difference between my friend's screen and my own and they don't have a screen protector. The only thing that stinks is you still get the finger smudges but that happens when you don't have a screen protector too and you can hardly notice when you are using your iPad it's just when you shut it off or a light is glaring right on it. Otherwise very clear!

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

I have both sizes and the finish is beautiful and does not gatther finger smudges like stainless steel appliances.I prefer not putting mine in dishwasher. If film builds up inside, just scrub with baking soda or Bar Keepers Friend.

My impressions have been a very light feel and not oily at all. The "very white" or "very pale" version was (obviously) more reflective, otherwise I'd say the original is quite matte. I haven't broken out from it.

I recall there being one over the lens. Not sure how to explain front or back for the back of the phone, but it was on the side with the apple logo (what I would call back). You can lightly scratch your fingernail over the lens, if you feel some drag, it's there. If your nail glides over without any noticeable resistance, then there's no film.

I think its about the same at resisting fingerprints as the unprotected glass is. I can say the Moshi does tend to attract dust and, at least at first, feels somewhat less slick than the bare glass does. After a few days of using it my finger seems to glide more, but maybe I just got used to it.

It depends on what you get, the most natural feel would be the clear one's. But the protector that has the most "glide for finger" is the matte. But that's just for me

When mine did that, it was simply a dirty lens. I cleaned it with a microfiber cloth. As the lens is plastic, is it possible that some substance came in contact with it and turned it cloudy? Sorry, these are the only simple things I can think of

Not that I have noticed. Its just a clear covering. The only concern might be trapping fingerprints underneath. You just have to be really careful with the application of it to avoid that.

Do not notice on mine. But, I never let anyone touch them. Try a lense cleaner. Sometimes reflections from light gives illusion of oil smudge. Similar to camera.
