The company’s a little vague on how exactly its new technology works — most likely because the protectors are probably covered in some magical new chemical coating that’s patent pending — but apparently over time greasy fingerprints on your iPad or Galaxy Tab tablet will just fade away on their own. Which saves you from always having to keep a microfiber cloth on hand, or from squinting through a blurry, gunked-up display. The $US23 protectors are also scratch-resistant, and boast a crystal clear finish so you can’t even tell they’re installed — as long as there were no trapped air bubbles during their application. (Easier said than done.) [3M]

No good for identifying the thief if your stuff gets nicked !
There is a slight flaw in your statement. If one where to have said stuff nicked then the lack of fingerprints becomes irrelevant as you no longer have a device on which to test for fingerprints.
It may be a gret idea, but they very very hard to fit and as I have discovered, should only fitted to new screens they show scratches on a screen that u never knew you had. Not worth the effort and very high chance of stuffing the screen cover during the fitting.
