Has anyone ever used bodyguardz.com's products on any of their phones? I don't like cases, but my screen keeps getting clouded with finger prints and nothing seems to rub it off. I was wondering if it'd be good to order their clear protector that protecrts the whole phone without hiding its design. Do you think it will attract less cloudiness from finger prints too or what? Just want some opinions before buying, if I decide to. I really don't like anything on my phones, but I'm already getting sick of looking at finger prints.

I ordered one, I like how it's supposed to cover the metal ring on the phone also.

It looks pretty cool...I wonder if it covers the speakers.

i went to Apple store today and got a Static Clinger. its a shield to protect the screen from scratches and dirt/dust. its awesome, its beautiful and you cant notice it when its on the iphone screen. i suggest you go crab some
i bought it for 16 dollars.. it cost more than the rubberish cover or one of those hard cover. it looks ugly on the iphone
i suggest you shouldnt get any protection cases or pouch , just a screen protector... other wise your iphone will look ugly

Yeah, I saw that, and it's cheaper than the bodyguardz one. I actually liked that better anyways, the bodyguardz one looked like on the edges of the phone the plastic was sticking to plastic rather than the phone itself (in the installation tutorial video)
Does it show finger prints as bad as when using the screen? Are they easier to get off than they are on the screen?
I'm looking into picking one of those up in the next couple days, I just want to know if the finger prints come off easily. I've been wiping the crap outta my screen and I still see spots when I'm done.

well.. i wiped my iphone screen off CLEAN before i put it on, and now you cant tell if its there. i tried scratching it with my keys ( LOL ) and touching it with my oily hand, and simply wipe it off with the cloth that the iphone came with, and it was clean again. no marks what so ever.
i also saw the video of invisible shieldz or w/e it is.... and it looks like tape on the screen, doesnt look attractive to me at all, so i got this static clinger at the apple store, cheaper, and better.:wink:

Yeah, I didn't notice that apple sold that until I saw it on their site tonight. I think that is better than the bodyguardz one too. Thanks for the help.

My bodyguardz came in and it took me 5 minutes to install the front and an hour to install the back, mostly because I over wet it and had to wait for the corners to dry so they can stick. So far so good, i like how it protects the metal rim, the corners of the phone aren't very protected though and it was a pain to install. But overall, i think it was a good investment.
Tip: DO NOT OVER WET THE BACK PIECE ESPECIALLY THE CORNERS

Notice that the girl says that you shouldn't use your iPhone for 48 HOURS!!!!? AHAHAAHAHAHA!!! Like THAT'll happen. I wonder if that's really necessary. If it is, this is not the product for me.

There is a black cloth inside the black packet that is under the clear case the phone was laying in when you first opened the box. It also has the finger tips booklet inside it.

how does that work? does it just cling to it or does it stick?

Yes, and Giuliani is more popular than Ron Paul too. More popular doesn't necessarily mean better. The invisible shield doesn't protect the bezel. Bodyguardz does.

Which one do you guys think is the best? and Why? I'm trying to decide on which one to buy.

Has anyone had an experience with the Best Skins Ever version of this product? It is crazy cheap, but I am wondering how much of the phone it protects.
These two products (BodyGuardz and invisibleSHIELD) leave unprotected areas.
Does the Best Skins Ever do the same thing?

I thought bodyguardz protects the bezel too.
Actually, if you really compare apples to apples The best skin thing really isn't as cheap as you think. Sure, it's $8+shipping, but you only get one set of skins and no solution. The other ones include solution and two sets of skins. Do you really need 2 sets of skins though?
Anyway, I ordered The Best Skin thingy. If no one reviews it by the time I get to try it I'll let you know how good it is.

Cool, thanks.
got mine on (took a bit of time and looks OK. Have a couple bubbles that haven't gone away yet (19 hours so far). some areas didn't line up right so not sure what I am going to do. I;ll just wait and see in another couple days!

I bought the invisibleshield and it did not include two copies only one.

Bleah.
Bought the BodyGuard cause of all the great reviews on this site and am not impressed. Turned my iphone into piece of rubber. The screen cover is all orange-peely and rubbery feeling. It does hide fingerprints a whole lot better tho.
Is there a recommendation for a harder screen protector, like a polycarbonate material that will be smoother and less rubbery? I like the sleek feel/look of the glass, but getting some minor scratching even with being very careful.
Only used one of the screen guards so far. Anyone want to buy 1 1/2 BodyGuardz kits?

You can get a refund, just send it back to the company.

Post some pics please.
It looks like the BestSkinever.com guard for the phone except this one looks more complicating..:gasp:
I have a Bodyguard on my iphone and overall i like it. The orange peel look doesnt bother me too much i can only see when i turn it sideways and its a bit rubbery. But i think whenever i get around to it i will try out a Power Support screen protector. For now it does the job.

well I prolly won't go to the trouble to send back a 25 dollar product, but it is a lil disappointing given some of the great reviews its gotten. Tonight I'm noticing this purplish sparkly overlay it imparts to white areas of the screen. Ugh, I wonder if I installed it wrong.
Again, can anyone recommend a hard smooth clear overlay so I don't have to try every one on the market?

Velodog2 I had the same issue with returning it, is it worth the hassle to send back a $25 product? I do like the protection it offers but I did not like the screen cover, it had a wet TV look to it that was very visible with a white background. I'll probably end up keeping it, but I did replace the screen part with this cover I bought on ebay. Works really well, doesn't do as good of a job as bodygaurdz hiding fingerprints but at least it protects, is ultra clear, and is just as smooth as glass.
