I am generally opposed to screen protectors as they almost always noticeably interfere with the quality of the display. I am reconsidering for my brand new Thunderbolt though. HOWEVER...it needs to be something that is totally clear and high quality. I've heard nice things about the Zagg protectors, but that that they also introduce a sort of orange peel texture to the display even though it is clear. This is not acceptable. I am looking for something totally smooth and clear (no orange peel)...if it exists. Any suggestions?

Zagg is the best by far.. lifetime warranty and actually really protect the screen.

I am a firm beleiver in the zaggs they have protected my screens for quite some time now on my G1, Iphone, EPIC and EVO.

Saved my screen from damage several times.

ZAGG probably has the worst in orange peel effect.

I'd recommend BodyGuardz. I had 3 sets of ZAGGS for 3 devices, but BodyGuardz was much better. You also get 2 protectors for the same price of InvisibleShield, so I say it's already a better value.

All these spray on protectors have the lifetime warranty and return crap.

hated BodyGuards they were crappy protectors which is the most important part.
What good is a protector that doesn't really protect? but all the power to you.
different strokes for different folks.

they're the same exact type of protectors as zagg but with reduced orange peel effect.

both ZAGG and BodyGuardz scratch over time from my own tests. they perform equally.

zaag are prob worst imo, horrendous moire effects and orange peeling.

I really like the Seidio USG ones, they go on with static and never move an inch and you can barely tell it's on. The only downside is that it collects fingerprints more, but that happens with most screen protectors anyway, but ymmv.

Go with SGP Steinheils. They give you the best feel and protection and look. I refuse to buy anything else ever.

They are about the only one that does apparently by your own link..

I'll stick with my IS I have no issues at all.. I cannot see "orange peel" and I do not install it myself I take it to the little booth they have in the mall that installs and warranties the IS and the install for life.
