Anyone have a favorite brand of screen protector for cellphones?

What kind of phone is it? Is it a smart phone where you'll be poking at it and whatnot or a regular phone where you just don't want it to get scratched up? For my Samsung Solstice I don't poke at it a lot but it does have a touch screen and I didn't like the ZAGG protector I got for it originally. It was kinda rubbery and made it difficult to slide my finger over it so I got some cheapo hard plastic stuff which has worked great over the last year. It was like 2 for $5 while the ZAGG was $25 for 1.

I've used a few, the only brand name I remember (probably because it was already posted) is zagg.  All protectors are going to inhibit the feel and reaction of the touch screen to some extent.  I don't use one at all anymore, the zagg was the toughest one I used and stayed stuck the best, on a BB storm at the time.

The Remarq doesn't have a touch screen.

I just want something to protect from scratches so I'll be able to see it in a year.

Just tape a magnifying glass to it so when you lose your grandpa-esque coke-bottle thick glasses you'll still be able to use your phone  ;D
