    Try it, you might like it. Keep a wipey close to keep your fingers clean to help with the fingerprints. I've become so used to the touch that I found myself today trying to move the screen on my MacBook Pro, was getting frustrated with it until I realized I was having a DUH moment. And I can out type my keyboard on a regular keyboard...140+ pm.

    I did that on my windows computer but the cheap plastic frame kinda gives it away before I get a chance to run my finger over the plastic screen.
    Oh, how I love glass!

    Macs don't have cheap plastic frames

    I've never been quite the same since Edward Scissorhands....

    You do realize that the stylus leaves smudge makes on the screen also?

    I don't know what stylus you have but mine doesn't. I think you aren't cleaning your screen first so it pushes the oil from your finger around.

    I completely understand the phobia! I'm not big on touching the screen with my fingers either...my thing is mostly about the fingerprints. Can't stand them. They look horrible...greasy and disgusting lol. Can you tell I'm a little OCD? Anyway, I found an awesome screen protector that is fingerprint resistant and reduces glare. It also helps that it feels different than the naked screen, which makes me feel better about touching it for some reason. Anyway, fingerprints don't show as much and they wipe off a lot better. I love my stylus but sometimes it can get frustrating when you're trying ton zoom in on a webpage or something. Also - the best cleaning cloth I have found is by Targus. It can be purchased at Wal-Mart in a set with some screen spray, near where they have the accessories for the iPad. Works a lot better than the cheapie ones that come with the screen protectors - I don't have to wipe very much at all with that cloth and this screen protector.

    Just had to give my two cents and let you know that you're not alone!
