I have it. Its kinda bad, and good at the same time. When I washed up in the morning, I must vacuum our it bothers me.
When I am in the car, if there is too many drinks/bottles, I have to throw them away.
When I am at my desk, everything has to be straight and minimal stuff on it. Maybe like a water bottle and a cable, but that's pushing it.
Even my desktop (computer) is clean all I have on my desktop is the recycle bin and whatever projects I am working on.

I have a habit of polishing the glass screen on my hero with a microfibre cloth a lot... does that count? It does still look nice despite being almost a year old...

Same Here I dont even use a screen protector I just treat it well
I've always had a minimal OCD attitude, but ARMY Basic Training sure as hell fixed that.. due to everything having to be 10,000% organized...
Now, when it comes to home, I usually only go OCD on the rooms I access the most (except for my desk area)... Living Room, Kitchen, Office, and my Bedroom.
BUT :: When it comes to my phone(s)... I'm very OCD... possibly too much. I buy new screen protectors for each device atleast twice a month, I despise smudges, so I RARELY actually touch my screen with my fingers. And even when I'm holding my main phone, I always have a cleaning cloth between my palm and the phone. It's actually quite sad.
I am also OCD with my my phone too. Every time I see a smudge on it, I wipe it, right away. I also own about 10+ microfiber clothes for my computer, phone, and iPad.
Once I get done eating, I don't touch my phone, I must clean my hands before I even take it out my pocket.
Whenever my friends ask to see my phone, I ask if there hands are greasy/dirty. I rarely give it to them because of fear they might break it.
When I had my iPhone, I had 4 cases because none of them were good enough to protect.
I am also going to order a tough case from Case-Mate, since my barely there isn't protecting much.
I ordered some Realooks when I first got my phone, since I didn't want to scratch them phone.
That's my story of OCDness. yay

There's no need for a screen protector on most of the new hTC's with glass screens (hero etc). So I just polish the fingerprints off with my m'fibre cloth
There was an awesome youtube video of a guy attacking his hero with a stanley knife... No damage even after attacking it with the knife, a bunch of keys, an some coins
Hi Nexus 7 fans,
Here at caseen we produced a video on how to install screen protector onto your Nexus 7! We used our GLARESHATTER Anti-Glare Dry Protection system for this video. It should help with anyone needing help installing a screen protection system.
For most dry application using Japanese PET, any additional bubbles will go out in 24 hours. Be sure to keep a CLEAN space!
Here is the video:
Link to screen protector system used in this video is here: http://www.caseen.com/caseen-2x-Goo...Anti-Fingerprint-Screen-Protectors_p_278.html
I'll be happy to answer any questions you guys might have
That nice, but you did it wrong.. I guess its like an Oreo cookie everyone has there own way of eating them
I would have just pealed about an inch off the top then applied it and slowly and softly pushed down as I peeled of the rest..

Thats another way to do it ;P Both great ways IMO. The only reason I don't like that way is that too many issue with people accidentally touching the sticky part, and thereby adding oil to the installation =(.
Expert Tip: Keep scotch tape ripped and ready to go to catch any dust that may fall on the sticky portion during installaion. =].

Haha! You know, after doing Zagg twice, I actually thought about doing it like that. All gowned up, wearing powderfree gloves and working in a BSC.
No more Zagg for me.
I always get mine wet. Helps get it down and slide a little bit to align. Also allows you to also remove any bubbles easier then a dry apply. Yes I'm talking about a dry application. A little soap helps too to prevent fingerprints.
Yea like oreos.

That installation video was brutal. In my house if I turned the screen protector over like had done, it wouldve had at least 1 or 2 dust particles catch on it. The way i do it is to always try to start from the top, peel back maybe an inch worth of the 1st guard, and lay it as perfect as possible all while holding the protector downwards. Then work your way down gently, push out the leftover bubbles with a microfiber cloth and my fingernail. Lift and dab with tape when necessary if dust bubbles occur.

so how's the feel on this one (is there any grip while swiping)? is there any orange peel? and how well does it reduce fingerprint?
Lol once i go back to school ill have access to a real cleanroom, may have to buy a new screen protector for it. But imo that wasnt a very good installation guide seeing how there were still some noticeable bubbles. The technique was good but Thats whT people are trying to avoid haha
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
I usually ignore any dusts/bubbles at the beginning. Of course, it's nice not to get them, but my main concern at the start is lining it up properly so that it sits perfect on the screen. Once I get that sorted, I use scotch tape and lift up every corner and clean up from below (while wearing lab nitrile gloves). I've had perfect applications using this method, though it takes time. Heck, it took me an hour and a half to get it absolutely perfect and bubble/dust free application for my Galaxy Nexus! Only took about 20 minutes to get a perfect and clean application for the Nexus 7
For those wondering, any bubbles on the screen protector will "dry out" after 24 hours [Ours is now bubble free after 24 hours of waiting]. I can understand wanting to do more! The more techniques performed the better. Just be ready to multi-task =).

As a dry system there will be no noticeable orange peel. Also this one is super smooth, and does not grip your finger at all.
You won't need to wipe your screen for 2 weeks or more guaranteed. Our GLARESHATTER system takes care of fingerprints extremely well!
We have great Amazon reviews for our Nook Color version: http://www.amazon.com/caseen-GLARES...ie=UTF8&qid=1344896005&sr=8-9&keywords=caseen

Hi folks,
Just a word of advice.....if you want your oleophobic coating to last as long as possible, try to not clean your screen too often with alcohol-based wipes such as those lens wipes (blue/white packs) you can buy in Walmart.
I now have a tiny spot (5mm) on my screen that on initial glance looks like a scratch, but then you realize and wipe with your fingers, is just oil smudging when the rest of the screen is fine. If you rub and clean it out with your fingers, there is no scratch underneath.
It doesn't bother me, but it's something those of you with bare screens should keep in mind.
Cheers.
Good advice... Ask that is needed is a damp cloth like the ones you get for cleaning glasses. I don't use any type of cleaners y screen..
Maybe you can get warranty coverage on that..

Do you know about any long term effects that Rain X might have on the screen? I've seen comments indicating that it can provide some fingerprint protection, but a friend also said that it can damage the screen.

Rain x should be alright all it is is wax for glass. A straight carnauba wax should do wonders though, with no abrasive cleaner polishes in it. I've actually seen a video, can't remember where of someone applying wax to a screen. If you do use wax make sure its just wax, not an all in one which has polishing abrasives in it.

Rain X isn't a wax, it is a polymer that binds with the windscreen, the polymer hates water and loves glass. The polymer will also repel oils.
The problem with Rain X and things like it is the polymer is carried in alcohol. The alcohols job is mainly to clean the glass of oil and dirt allowing the polymer to bind better. The action of apply it to a phone is it can damage the existing coating, or what remains of it. Of course if this coating has already worn away that doesn't matter and it should give a similar feel when applied.
If only a small part of the screen is damaged the best way to apply Rain X is to wet the corner of a cloth with it and let the alcohol evaporate until the cloth is dry. The polymer will still be on the cloth, and provided the screen is clean (mild soap then polished clean with a microfibre cloth), the polymer should still transfer from the cloth to the glass.
Carnauba wax will not bind chemically to the glass screen and will just rub off and smudge.
Regards
Phil
You can always buy more oleophobic coating compound and apply it yourself, just saying!

This looks interesting. I'll go this route a year later once all of it has come off.
I occasionally use a chlorox wipe, but I keep a xoskin on it. I know windex is bad for it too. The skin came with a spray bottle of water and soap, I just refill it when it's empty with a drop of dish soap and water, then use paper towels to wipe it clean. Stuff like windex or alcohol can be acidic and leave behind stuff.
Best thing to use is an anti static cloth.. They're cheap and last forever.
Been using that Zeiss wipe. Absolutely no problem.
Are you sure that is caused by the wipe??????

That's odd. When I first got it, the spot was definitely not there. I don't do any type of jobs that expose my hands to strong chemicals. It's something I noticed in the past week alone. It is very evident when you "softly" wipe over the screen with the Zeiss as the part where the coating has worn off stays wet and smudges whereas the rest is sort of streak free.
I can't think of anything else that i did that would have caused this to be honest.
Like others have said, it may have been a defect such that too little coating was applied to begin with?
*shrugs*
What's wrong with a cloth and some good-old-fashioned water? I mean its not like it could get any cleaner than that.

I am a bit of a germaphobe and use alcohol wipes on my phone every time I leave the house and come back with it. So I clean it 2-5 times a day. I have been doing this for years and never had a problem. Maybe I removed the coating a long time ago and don't know the difference? lol

Just wiped with Zeiss again. Didnt notice anything like you said.
First of all, alcohol is water based. The coating is definitely not water based, so there is no way that alcohol affects the coating.
If its just a small patch, it is highly possible that your finger touched some other solvent and then touched the screen. The patch should be bigger if its caused by the wipes, right?

Hi i hope this doesnt sound overly meticulous...but i was wondering is there a household material or a something that safely cleans and permenantly removes greasy, oil like stains of the back cover...i know its a petty thing but i do like to keep my phone shiny like a new nickel lol...any help would be awesome
90% isopropyl alcohol and a good quality microfiber. i have sitting in my room and clean my phones at least daily
I found that fingernail polish remover works too. Found that out when I took the AT&T globe off of my Nexus 6

I find that the smudges go away when I carry it around in my pocket, because of the fabric rubbing against the back of the phone. But a microfibre cloth is probably your best bet in any case.
I've found that good ol' fashioned elbow grease (or: spit on a rag) cleans the prints right off of mine.
Thanks guys I'll try the microfiber cloths and go from there
I recommend a dbrand skin on the back, no more smudges

That's gotta be good for grip.
I have glasses, so I just use a lens cleaner spray and microfibre for all over the phone.
Eyeglass wipes are good.
Lately I've been using those handi-wipes as they are a good degreaser. You know, the kind you get when you go to a restaurant that has messy foods like wings...etc. Usually lemon-scented. Any time I go to a place like that, I always ask the waitress if I can have a few extra. End up with a handful of them. Great to keep in your car glove compartment too. Great for the back of the phone, not sure for the screen though. Might leave streaks on glass.
So what's the best way to clean my Droid Turbo? I need to start doing this on a regular basis, too many germs out there. Is it safe to wipe off the screen/phone with an alcohol wipe? I know the device has a water resistant nano coating so I'd think this would be OK. Any input is greatly appreciated, thank you.
A little spit with a wipe from your shirt
Alcohol wipe seems to be the best bet, went ahead with it, nice n clean n germ free

Good question, and so many funny replies. Yup, alcohol works.

Probably not the best way; as this will wear off the olephobic coating..
1. Dilute a drop of handwash in a mug of water
2. Use some of that highly diluted solution to clean screen by gently massaging it
3. Use tissue paper or news paper to soak most of the liquid from screen
4. Finish with microfiber clothe
