Video Review: SGP Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic Screenshield - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hey guys,
Got my hands on the SGP Ultra Oleophobic screenshield from SGP, which they make for a variety of different devices. This is an oil resistant screenshield, which unlike the Ultra Optics, does not affect screen quality at all, but isn't as resistant from fingerprints / glare as the Optics. Overall I'm really pleased with the final product, you can find the full review below:

Can't decide!

I currently have an SGP Ultra Crystal Screen Protector but it's a fingerprint/grease magnet, very smudgey. I'm trying to decide between the Ultra Optics or Ultra Oleophobic, thoughts guys? I heard they both hold some sort of property which is fingerprint resistant.

Between the 2, I'd go for the Ultra Optics, because of the matte finish. From what I've heard, Ultra Oleophobic does have an anti-grease coating but it loses that very quickly and soon your fingers will be squeaking all over the phone.
Do check out the other screen protector threads here for more reviews on both, though, so you can judge for yourself.

Tapatalking to the beat on Galaxy S II.
Cheers mate
Yea i'd second the Ultra Optics if you're concerned about fingerprints!
The Ultraoleophobic works well for 2-3 weeks and then starts to become a oil and smudge attractor, would recommend against it.

thanks for ur reply
did u use it before?
does the matte film affect the quality of the screen?make it more dim?
I've had the matte SGP screen, it was terrible. It caused the screen to be a little bit blurry, gave me a bit of eye strain, and ruins the beauty of the LED screen. I now have the glossy one, it is great.

I have used The Ultra Crystal, but I needed to clean it for oil too often, so I stopped use it. The Utra Oleophobic is said to prevent oil, but I havn't tried it, but I would go for The Oleophobic.
And as @chiefroastbeef said, the matte screen shields just ruin the beauty of the LED screen, I have used it so I know.
I've tried Ultra Crystal and Ultra Optics.
Of the two Ultra Optics is by far the best. Ultra Crystal made me want to kill myself after a day of use, it magnifies fingerprints and smudges through the miracles of modern science. I used it for ~18 hours before I decided no screen protector was a better option. When clean it looked amazing and was indeed crystal clear. Ultra Optics isn't as crystal clear, even when clean, but does a much better job of hiding unsightly smudges and fingerprints.
Tried all of them.
My ranks (best->worst)
1. Ultra Crystal - For 'Videophiles', people who want to enjoy the magnificent picture quality, contrast, sharpness and vivid colors of the AMOLED screen.
2. Ultra Oleophobic - Better protection against oil stains and stuff, Clear enough, but the touch isn't as smooth as Ultra Crystal.
3. Ultra Optics - Nice, smooth touch and figerprint durability, but reduces the image quality, creates a bit of 'grain'.
4. Anti-Fingerprint - ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. if you like the smooth touch and the velour-like surface - buy the Ultra Optics, the AF makes the AMOLED screen look like 65K colors(or less) LCD.
Thank you all the above.
I think I will still use crystal .
But the main disadvantage is the oil is easily stick on the screen

The oddest thing about this is where I get mine as it is completely against the grain for me. When I got my galaxy s4 I also got screen protectors supposedly of the best quality according to reviews and a case (Spigen slim armor). The picture degradation was very noticeable though even though the reviews said otherwise.
The problem is I fix, upgrade, build computers, networks, sound systems (household wide generally), in the commercial and retail market. I have found that not having protection on a smartphone in the filed is a very bad idea so I always do. Anyway with the screen degradation and not having time to wait I ran to the mall as one of the kiosks I had seen there has great screen protectors and I knew they were exceptionally clear because I had seen them do a few when I took my teenage daughter up there (it is right outside a place she had gotten clothes from with birthday money) shopping once.
I had to have it quickly so it was the best option. They cost $25.00 which is why I did not go there in the first place.
However; the reason I am both glad I used this solution and will in the future is simple. They guarantee them for the life of the phone. When you have it done they register you and your phone completely. If you do get it scratched up key gouged etc (which I did do once) all you have to do is take it back and they replace it free.
They also use military grade and crystal clear screen guards which have the best picture compared that I have seen. The kicker is the combo though of great protectors that are completely clear along with the lifetime replacement. Not having to worry about getting the protector on slightly crooked and or install it yourself at all is also nice the protectors are also hard super strong glass substrates which are super strong.

Video Review: SGP Ultra Optics Screenshield + Comparison between others

Hey guys,
Got my hands on the SGP Ultra Nano Optics screenshield that a lot of you have been asking about. This is an anti-fingerprint & anti-glare screenshield that features a similar form factor to the Nano Clear, but with a different coating. Like the Nano Clear, it is super easy to install but the anti-fingerprint coating serves to make fingerprints and smudges much harder to show.
In this video I've also compared the Flex HD, Ultra Clear and Ultra Optics in a detailed manner based on pricing, protection, clarity, etc - that way you guys can see which one fits you best.
Check out the full review & comparison below;
Thanks for the review, it was well done. :good:
I see the "Optics" is marked more towards anti-fingerprint properties.
Would this mean the "Clear" is a fingerprint magnet?
Do you think the Clear is better or worse than the bare-screen when it comes to resisting figerprints?
I'd like to go with the Optics, but I really want the 100% clarity.

The Clear isn't a fingerprint magnet by any means but it certainly doesn't help combat against them. That is a tough question since they both show nearly the same amount of fingerprinting but I think the bare-screen is a bit better for whatever reason. I used the Nano Clear for a little over a week and didn't have too many issues with extreme fingerprinting, though.

[Q] Best oleophobic (no fingerprints) full coverage screen protector?

Hi! What is the state of full coverage screen protectors that are uber-resistant to fingerprints? Of the reviews I've read of Zagg, Spigen's Curved Crystal, Skinomi's TechSkin, etc., very few people mention fingerprint resistance and those who do just barely talk about it.
Anyone had any stellar experiences?
I am not sure that there are any full coverage official fingerprint resistant screen protectors. I would like to say that I recently tried the full coverage protector by Realook and am very impressed with it compared to the SGP Curved Crystal. It does not show a lot of fingerprints and is A LOT better than the SGP Curved Crystal in feel and durability. It does not dent as easily. I really like the SGP but hated the denting and the Realook solved that problem for me. It has a 3H coating compared to SGP's 2H.
Here is the one I purchased:

I have tried quite a few SP, but for the best antifinger i think the matte ones are the best. HALO makes really good ones, of course visibility gets cut but this ones are a little better than most matte ones out there. Right now im using some i purchased from wal-mart, they are clear and i dont see many fingerprints and if i do they clean easily.

Oleophobic Screen Protectors

Are there any oleophobic screen protectors available for this phone? Spigen typically does, but only the Ultra Crystal is available for the One.
Spigen also has the GLAS.t for this phone which is oleophobic.
