The "protector" also will reduce sharpness and color vibrancy, and it could damage the hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings.
When I had an iPhone 5, i got a glass screen protector for it and it worked very well. It did significantly reduce the fingerprints and I had no issue with it reducing sharpness and color.
