ZAGG Invisible Shield

I ordered the Invisible Shield for my MacBook Pro 15" and while the customer service is great; the product is not worth your time or energy.

You need two people to apply the product and I would recommend you bring it to a vinyl place i.e. a store that cuts and applies vinyl to put this shield on for you. There were many bubbles which I was not able to smooth out. I followed the instructions and allowed the shield to settle for 2-3 days. It looked horrible and made the Apple laptop look cheap. I contacted Customer Service and got an RA number and promptly removed the shield. What I found after removing the shield was even more disturbing. There was heavy residue on my brand new laptop, of which I spent 2.5 hours removing the gunk. Needless to say, I do not recommend this product for your laptop or even of its products since they all work on the same technology. Not only was the product not what was described, I had to spent countless hours removing the heavy sticky residue and then had to pay to ship the product back!!

Do not waste your time on the Invisible Shield products.

I've had the Shield on for a couple weeks on my white iPhone 3g, & I love like it. Before I get to anything else, ONE BAD THING: Zagg does not recommend you put a case on your phone with the Shield already installed. As a Zagg rep told me: "It has a tendency to peel off or become discolored". I don't like to use a case with the iPhone anyway. I personally like to show off the look of the phone instead of covering it up. So keep that in mind if you choose to install this on your phone, ADDING A CASE IS NOT RECOMMENDED!

I also had this installed on my iPod Touch at a Zagg retailer at the mall... it took him 15 mins to install. The shield on my iPhone 3g was installed by my husband... he took his time & it took him 25 mins to install. Make sure you're in a lint-free area. And do not spray the solution directly onto your device... it will seep into the port holes & will damage your phone. Only spray on your fingers & the Shield itself. The key is to make sure everything is aligned with the holes. The corners might be a little tricky but just keep holding it down & it'll conform to it. If you see air bubbles or lines, the Shield is semi-porous so this will go away within a few days. If you don't want to deal with installation, make sure a Zagg retailer does it for you. They charge $10 for install.

I really screwed up. After applying this to my phone (very successfully by the way, all 11 pieces for a BB 8310 !!!) the phone felt as if it was wrapped in scotch tape. The edges collected lint and dirt; but worse, you can feel the shield’s edges as you use the phone.

I missed the slick and smooth feel I originally had and tore all of this stuff off, except the back piece (which may go soon if it won’t stay clean).

Warning: Just buy and use a good case that you like.

I purchased and used full body IS about two months ago. My iphone usually stays in my pocket but is often times placed in environments that are prone to scratching such devices while i'm at work.

what sold me on the IS was "replacements for life", i figured why not give it a try.

The shield is great, indisputable scratch protection for front, back and bezel of the phone. It adds the least bulk of any 'case'. Its durability is unquestionable.

After two months of use im starting the process of returning the back part and sides of the shield for a new one. Im not sure i will install the replacement or not, i may just go back to using the Air Jacket for rear protection.

The biggest problem i had with IS is because it fits the sides and back using multiple 'parts', the edges of the shield collect dirt, much like collecting dirt under your fingernails if you were gardening or working on a car. It can become very unsightly. Subsequently the edges of the bezel and corners of the protectors began to peel up. Once this started happening I removed the back and side IS.

Great value, solid product, but i think the implementation and design needs to be more streamlined.

Front IS has been great. no problems. Excellent clarity, protection no peeling, and no signs of showing any dirt.

-note- my IS was installed at a IS ZAGG kiosk in the mall 'professionally'

Well...it's a great shield for the iPhone 3G. However, I would not call it invisible...I would call it BARELY visible. I own a white iPhone 3G 16 gb. The shield gives the phone a "less white" appearance and the edges of where the shield ends is VERY visible.

I installed only the back shield as I have a Power Support Anti-Glare protector on the screen. No fingerprints are left on this protector and I like the "matte" finish it gives my screen.

I didn't have too much trouble installing the shield. If you use enough of the shield spray, you can slide the shield across the phone and into the correct position. I have a feeling that the shield looks better on the black iPhone I have a 3 year old daughter, so there's nowhere in my home that is completely dust-free. EVERYTHING shows up on the shield. It gives your phone a "less slippery" feel...but it also attracts some lint. On a white iPhone, this shows ALL lint. Also...any particle that gets under the shield during install will show on the white iPhone. I assume the small particulate that will inevitably get under the shield during installation would not show anything significant with a black iPhone.

Much care needs to be taken as you install the shield. It will cover from chrome bezel to chrome bezel, but you MUST pay attention to what you're doing. Keep your fingers COVERED in the shield spray...this will prevent fingerprints on the underside of the shield during installation.

The corners can be hard to get to stay down. Just stick with it. I used the cool setting on my wife's hair dryer and let the corners dry. Once they were a bit "sticky" the application went fine. I also used the two small strips of shield to apply to the top and bottom chrome bezels.

All-in-all, I'm pretty impressed. I think it's a great option so that the iPhone user can go "naked." I've missed what my iPhone actually looks like. I "got sexy back." :) Putting the phone in a hard case will offer shock protection, but with the shield will protect against ALL scratches (pretty indestructible) and the shield gives great grip when using the phone. If you don't have any other screen protector, the shield will do a GREAT job. I just really like the coverage that the Power Support Anti-Glare gives. Had it on the phone since I owned it. The cost is a little steep, but the lifetime warranty pretty much makes it worth it. Google Zagg coupons and you can easily find a 20% off coupon...I did and it worked like a charm.
