mirror screen protector

Ok, well I liked my mirror screen protector on my original droid, but it was IMPOSSIBLE to see in day light. I'm curious if it is the same way with the bionic? People who have one can you please let me know? Thank you. I have an anti-glare screen protector now, and it makes it look like it's greasy. like as if my fingers were greasy and smeared on it. and it bugs me. Are there any good mirror screen protectors out there? or good regular screen protectors if mirror ones are bad in sunlight?
 
I always got a screen protector in the past and carried my phone in a pocket that was otherwise empty.

When I got the Bionic on day one they didn't have any screen protectors so I used it without one. The difference was astounting.

I then removed the screen protectors from my other phones and the difference was incredible.

If you are going to use a screen protector, check out the bottom of page 4 in the users guide relating to the proximity sensor.

In particular the statement that even clear screen protectors can cause a misfunction of the sensor.

I can't prove it yet but I suspect that some of the reported BSODs are caused by this issue ... the Bionic thinks its in your pocket and keeps the screen off.

I mean personally, I've never used my phone's without a screen protector because I'm scared of permanent scratches!
But when I removed the screen protector from my bionic it looked 1000X better than when the screen protector was on, didn't have much of a chance to mess with the screen cause I put another right on, but still looked better. I just want a screen protector that doesn't make the screen look significantly worse!
 
Yeah, I know gorilla glass is strong as hell and scratch resistant, but I scratched my droid in my pocket with keys. and It had gorilla glass. It usually protects against it, but the rare angle or something can get it(since I put my phone in an empty pocket). I am just to paranoid to go without a screen protector
