Re: What to get?

After reading all these posts, and checking a lot of the company websites I'm still left with a bunch of questions. The Ghost Armor/Invisible Sheild type of protector sounds really cool, but I think I may be leaning towards getting a Seido Innocase when they begin selling them because I have a tendancy to drop my phone from time to time. But the main reason I am asking is for screen protection. I work outside a lot, and I have a horrible time reading my screen when it is sunny outside. I have seen several companies selling anti glare screen protectors. How well do these work for making the screen readable on a bright sunny day? Also, after reading some of their websites I get the impression that they may compromise the screen clarity, and they may scratch up over time. I am also a bit concerned about the grippyness some of you have mentioned. I would really prefer something that is silky smooth for scrolling. Are there any brands you would suggest I check out or stay away from when it comes to the anti-glare protectors?
I'm currently using one of the anti-glare protectors although I got it for its fingerprint reducing properties (which is night/day difference from stock...) I haven't really used it outdoors in full sunlight but I would say that it's easier to read in heavy lighting conditions.

As for whether or not it compromise the screen clarity/colors, I would say that it does... but only slightly. It say that in general it makes the colors more subtle, and if you're looking at the screen in the dark you can notice some graininess. Here's a picture of current anti-glare screen protector in the picture you'll notice some graininess in the protector... generally only see that graininess at night.

I picked up a pair of those protectors for 4 bucks on eBay... got another set of 5 on the way from the buyer the OP started the thread about. My current protector works/looks great, just couldn't resist ordering more for 5 bucks.
